3 years & 2 days ago i watched love simon in theaters, and 2 days ago i finished reading simon vs the homo sapiens agenda, then tonight i watched love simon again since the first time i ever watched it.
theres something so beautiful in consuming an old piece of media that’ll make your mind revert back to the time you were first introduced to that media. it’s the way it makes you want to buy those halloween oreos with the orange filling because it makes you feel connected to the film by you casually referencing it. it’s the way you end up following the cast members on social media and look up to them, remembering that it all started because of one film you watched as a teen. it’s the way some of your favorite songs come from the movie’s soundtrack and you’ll listen to it from time to time but every now and then the specific scene it was played during will pop into your mind. to put it simply, nostalgia is beautiful. but if we’re going in depth, it’s the way rewatching one movie reverts you back to the first time you saw it, amongst reverting back to your other favorite shows at the time, and the friends you hung out with and the hobbies you had and the way your home life was and yourself. it’s you reliving the person you were during that time and not realizing how special it was gonna be years later. or maybe you did and your future self is thanking you for actually cherishing the moment.
nostalgia is a beautiful thing. 20gayteen was a treasurable year. love simon was great and simon vs the homo sapiens agenda was better at that. i’m glad i finally finished the book 3 yrs later and now look, i’m watching the second season of the movie’s spinoff series later this year. i’m so in love with being queer. the overall queerness of this all is a beautiful thing too. how fun to be nostalgic of your young queer self during an important year for queer media and an important year for your queer identity..
So I’m only to chapter four, and this is probably a really inappropriate guess and I have a dirty mind, but I know I’m wrong, so where did Blue’s alias come from? How did he come up with it? I mean he had to have some inspiration. Blue.. hm. Now, being a member of the LGBT+ community, gay subtext and bad puns are revolving around my life. But Blue.
This reminds me back to Heathers. When Kurt and Ram’s balls were blue for Veronica?
So maybe this is some reference, that Blue has had to keep his identity hidden for this long, his sexual identity, the person he feels comfortable being?
Maybe his balls were blue for Simon. I’ll never know.
Okay someone please correct me and tell me the truth I need to know where ‘Blue’ came from
