I think the reason why Baz is still very pale is bc he’s canonically only 1/8 Egyptian and bc he’s a vampire and lives in England, he doesn’t get very much sun, hence the lack of melanin. When he goes to America in Wayward Son it says that his skin gets darker.

As someone who’s also 1/8 brown… I’m not biracial or a POC. I’m white. I look white. I have dark hair and dark eyes and I tan, but I am pretty pale bc I don’t spend much time outside (and I live in a place with a much higher UV index than England). I was also much more tan when I was little and got paler as I got older, which could explain why Baz’s skin was darker as a child.

But yeah I’m sorry to break it to y’all. I think it’s cool to have AU Baz as a POC but it’s just not canon :/

I know baz is supposed to be like pale cause vampire and stuff (actually idk if that's the reason but whatever( BUT. I used to have a huuuuge hyperfixation over vampires when I was younger and let me tell you. His melanin wouldn't have gotten sucked out. In this essay, I will be ignoring the canon and doing what I like. Infact, I was doodling little baz a while ago and

Hear ye hear ye my child

Idk. I just can't get behind the paleness 🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩

he’s just like me fr (responsible homosexual older sister who’s afraid of breaking the rules. Somehow still the problem child even though they try so hard not to be. High functioning depression & anxiety. Feels like everything is constantly their fault.)

IS BAZ A SMOKER?

I just got a private ask about this, and thought I may as well answer it here.

No, Baz is not a smoker. (In canon.) I thought I was making it clear in Carry On that he only smokes a cigarette at the vampire club to intimidate Nico. (Because vampires are so flammable, none of them smoke. It makes Baz seem fearless.) Elsewhere in Carry On, Baz says his dad drew a hard line against smoking. (The flammable thing again.) The most compelling evidence that Baz isn’t a regular smoker is that Simon is surprised by Baz’s cigarette at the vampire club. “I didn’t know he smoked.” Simon has been following Baz around for eight years, inhaling him as much as possible. If Baz was smoking regularly, Simon would have noticed. (Also, if Baz were a regular smoker, I feel like we would have seen him light up in that book on many stressful occasions.)

This video is how I imagine Baz like in Ban’s Twist and Shout. I’m still not ready to accept the fact that it’ll never be completed 💔

“One kiss, and you think the world is upside down.”

“Two kisses,” I say. And I take him by the back of his neck.

—From Chapter 62, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell.

It has been quite a while, but I really want to show u this ❤️ I usually post in my IG, but I want to show you first ❤️😭

Never not thinking about all of them, honestly. Even so many books away from them.

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

I originally wasn’t going to have Dev & Niall get together in “They Get Married.” because it’s canon-compliant I didn’t think they realistically would in canon. But then I remembered it’s my fic and I have free will, so I did it anyway 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏳️‍🌈✨

when they get married who cries harder
