Prompt 84

Amity Park absolutely adores her little ghostling, her little Gatekeeper who was of her own ectoplasm, reborn from her own blood in the center of her new heart. She absolutely adores her baby, practically a newborn, being only a year dead! 

So of course she had to gush and boast about her little phantom to the other city spirits! They all got together to gossip sometimes after all. And both Smallville and Fawcett started to gush about their own little ones back! 

Gosh they should set up a playdate at some point, her little phantom could use some friends in the mortal realm. Well some more friends, three is obviously not enough. Oh, Gotham and Bludhaven have come over as well! It’s a playdate then! 

Now if only each of their world’s timelines were synced up, but at least everyone is around the same age!

Alright, I am allowing myself one (1) hater ass opinion that exists purely because I am a hater and nobody will change my mind about this until I leave my hater zone: Mu Qing is the catalyst for Xie Lian’s downward spiral in Book 4, and had he not abandoned and then subsequently betrayed Xie Lian, White No-Face would’ve had a hell of a tougher time getting a foothold in Xie Lian’s head post-fall.

Mu Qing’s abrupt departure and admittance that it is because of their current circumstances shook Xie Lian’s confidence in Feng Xin’s loyalty to their friendship. This causes him to seek reassurance that Feng Xin cannot give because Feng Xin doesn’t know the cause. Mu Qing then coming back and revealing to Feng Xin that Xie Lian attempted robbery shook Feng Xin’s faith in Xie Lian’s morality, which eventually led to his own departure. Before Feng Xin leaves, he throws doubt about Xie Lian’s mental state to Xie Lian’s parents. All of these actions isolated Xie Lian from his entire support group, leaving him alone and vulnerable to manipulation. White No-Face had to do next to nothing to get Xie Lian to this point.

And for all the “Xie Lian had to go through this to learn a lesson!” people: the only “lesson” Xie Lian got out of this whole arc was that the only person he could trust to support him (not his family or friends but a nameless ghost) is now obliterated and he can only rely on himself to be his own support because everyone else is too fickle to stand by him through his ups and downs. And he carries this with him until (re)meeting Hua Cheng 800 years later.

In short, Xie Lian is a saint cause I’m on Fuck Mu Qing time.

Alright as it is Trans Day of Visibility (Hi still not cis, still here etc.) and the final day of the extended Trans Rights Readathon I thought I would post about a few more of my favorite books by trans authors because hopefully everyone will be reading books by trans authors and about trans characters/topics all year round. Because to me this day is about supporting others in the community as much as anything else. The world is pretty on fire right now so if you can support a trans creator, artist, organization or friend today (and beyond) then do it!

So here are a bunch of shorter reads: books, graphic novels, novellas etc. I didn't really notice how many novellas I had been reading recently till making this list, but there is something about a wel- written short book that just really works for me. Also a lot of these just have really creative or lovely concepts and I am a sucker for those. Plus the characters in these are soooo good! Also a lot of these have lovely audiobooks or e-books, hence me not having a physical copy (yet). Many of these have trans characters as well, but not all of them. Though most have some form of queer rep because I don't read much that doesn't. I included muliple by some of the authors, including sequels because... I just really like them and couldn't pick just one. Most of these authors have other books that are also wonderful. And these are just a handful of examples, there are so many fabuluous books by and about people who are trans.
