Can you spot the oreos?
Hey! I’m continuing my cross-stitch collection, and today it’s Simon and Blue from Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda. Or ‘Love, Simon’ depending on whether you prefer the film. And whilst I didn’t, I can see why they shortened the name!
Recently, I’ve been talking quite a lot about the Simonverse (I’m moving onto Kingdom Of Flesh And Fire next week, I promise!). Mainly because I just finished Love Creekwood and you can find my review of this adorable book here. I’ve also been rewatching the film and whilst I’m enjoying it more on a second rewatch, I guess I love the book so much that I’m annoyed by my favourite parts that were missed out. And by the things that were added – who is this strange Vice Principla who has no respect for personal space? Wow. And why is Nora now a baking 11 year old? And since when did Leah have a crush on Simon? But I suppose that I’m never going to be happy with it unless it’s a direct reading of them book!
So, I thought I’d celebrate all the things I love about the universe. I think that all the characters are really well cast, and it’s still pretty cool to have a decent gay teen rom-com, even if I miss all the scenes at the end. So, here’s my favourite quote from the last line of the book: Maybe this is a holy freaking huge awesome deal. Maybe I want it to be. It didn’t come up that well on the photo! Simon’s wearing a cardigan (because he would, wouldn’t he?), glasses and a hint of an Elliott Smith tshirt, whilst Blue’s in… blue. I am a comic genius, I know 🙂
What do you think! Have you taken up any hobbies during Lockdown? Got any tips for cross-stiching? Let me know in the comments!

Well, haven’t picked up new hobbies, but going to pick up an old one.
Knitting is something I want to pick up ago (been years since I knitted my last).

That’s so cool! I’ve always wanted to learn sign language it seems like an important skill to know, but I’ve never known how or where to learn? And tv of course counts as a hobby haha (it had better be because I do little else these days 😂).
