My next Black History Month pick is particularly special, The Passing Playbook by Isaac Fitzsimons 🏳️‍⚧️

I adore this book! The main character is endearing and I loved how accepting and protective the supporting characters were as well.

BOOK REC TIME

the passing playbook! by Isaac Fitzsimmons

his parents are supportive but there's a few bits in the book where they don't understand and are less supportive

it's queer

uhh i can tell u more but that involves spoilers so GO READ IT and then we can talk more 😊

Ok idea for ikasumi bc I love her but what if she has a pet familiar like mochi does and she gets tattoos of them and when she fights she can summon ink versions of them similar to Megumi from JJK or Aki from CSM

i think if she were to have little friends, it would be the little things she draws and brings to life to keep her company!!! but since shes such a uhhhhh bad artist, her little friends are never anything cool or elegant looking like the familiars, its usually something dumb and decrepit looking like her little friends in this post!! half the time you cant even tell what it is.....mochis like "oh no! a dog monster!" and ikasumi goes "Its a fish."

but yeah her original power inspo is actually sai from naruto!!! i havent watched the series in forever but as a kid i always thought the whole "draw something on a page, bring it to life in the 3d world while it retains its ink-like looks" is so cool...,,.

pre-timeskip while shes doodling in her notebook, her little friends pop to life and hang out around her, walking around on the table and stuff (not at school obviously not to cause trouble, but other places). i also wanna say her little creatures are like the little snowmen on that series ice-guy-and-the-cool-female-colleague where they reflect the emotions she doesnt show herself!!!

(i also wanna say theyre like the soot on spirited away, in the sense that you can like.... "squash" them physically but they just.....re-manifest out of the ink puddle? the only way they get back on the page is if you hit them with something paper, or if ikasumi puts them back in the notebook herself !!!

The Passing Playbook by Isaac Fitzsimons

Fifteen-year-old Spencer Harris is a proud nerd, an awesome big brother and a Messi-in-training. He’s also transgender. After transitioning at his old school leads to a year of bullying, Spencer gets a fresh start at Oakley, the most liberal private school in Ohio.

At Oakley, Spencer seems to have it all: more accepting classmates, a decent shot at a starting position on the boy’s soccer team, great new friends, and maybe even something more than friendship with one of his teammates. The problem is, no one at Oakley knows Spencer is trans - he’s passing.

So when a discriminatory law forces Spencer’s coach to bench him after he discovers the ‘F’ on Spencer’s birth certificate, Spencer has to make a choice: cheer his team on from the sidelines or publicly fight for his right to play, even if it means coming out to everyone - including the guy he’s falling for.

We often think of a monarchy as passing down power from father to son or parent to oldest child but that’s highly based around the official English system.

Historically that’s not necessarily how it always worked. That’s why you get so many wars of succession going on especially when the previous king forgot to appoint an heir in time.

The eldest son wasn’t always guaranteed a spot. It could be the king’s brother, or one of his other sons, or his nephew.

Some countries have also historically had a very strict no girls allowed policy. England has mostly prioritized men but keeping it within the previous monarch’s children is of a higher priority than no girls allowed. In some countries the no girls allowed policy is more important so that’s how you might end up with a monarch with many children who appoints his nephew or cousin or something as his heir. Either because all of his kids are girls or because his sons are too young or because his sons are idiots and he doesn’t like them.

Then there’s stuff like the Roman system where you could adopt an adult for inheritance purposes. So you could take an adult man and say for legal reasons this is my son now and he is in the running to inherit my position.

And all this confusion is why the English put into place a playbook on how to do a line of succession. They really simplified it. Oldest son that is an Anglican and has never been Catholic, go to daughters if no sons available, go to next oldest brother or brother’s kids if no children. Keep going up the family tree to look for more heirs if no siblings. Gender requirements were eventually removed. They’ve got everyone mapped out. No confusion about who’s in line for what and when.

Historically though this has almost never been the norm. There’s been so many wars and rebellions in history because people didn’t like who the last guy appointed as his heir.
