Lesbian Agatha Wellbelove seems like such a cop out to me years later. And I say that as someone who wants more sapphic representation in books and who liked lesbian Agatha when the books came out.
Like in book one, she doesn’t not want a boyfriend, she wants a boyfriend who’s into her. And in book two she says she wishes she realized she wanted to kiss girls because that could explain why she’s so confused about everything and why she doesn’t fit in… (and because she perceives that that’s what happened for Simon with Baz) and then all that is just thrown out in Any Way the Wind Blows… just because?
I honestly think it was because larger fandom consensus was that Agatha was a lesbian.
But I don’t know. I just wish that in a book series that is so firmly saying “figuring out your sexuality does not fix your trauma or inner turmoil. your mental state cannot be fixed by a relationship, that’s your own work to do.” about Simon and Baz, that Rowell didn’t decide to undercut that by saying “except for Agatha it does. She’s felt out of place because she is a lesbian. And now she knows! So things will be better”
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 💔

Six-Sentence Sunday
“Dev, thinking about kissing your male friends is bloody well gay,” I say.
“No it isn’t!” Dev argues. “Everyone thinks about kissing their mates sometimes.”
I’m speechless. What the fuck?
“Like, you don’t actually wanna kiss your mate because you’re not gay. But you think about it sometimes, like if you were both hammered.”
“I was eleven years old, and I’d lost my mother, and my soul, and the Crucible gave me you.”
—Baz Pitch, Carry On, Epilogue, pg. 506
Summary: Stag Party in Margate! Baz and Simon deal with some of the more realistic parts of sex, Dev’s acting weird, and Baz experiments with fashion.

Chapter 23: Revives Me
Hello! I’m sorry the last time I posted a chapter was OVER A MONTH ago but I bring penance in the form of the longest chapter of On The Rocks, a 13k epic.
This chapter has the same TWs as OTR generally, but specifically I will note it contains suicidal ideation, references to fresh scars, and explicit dealing in alcoholic withdrawal and recovery.
In addition to @rbkzz my wonderful beta, I also want to give a huge thank you to @artsyunderstudy, but you need to read the chapter to find out why. 😉
Without further ado, Chapter 23: Revives Me
