DO NOT GET DISTRACTED
#i know i know im currently jsamn pilled or whatever#but im so fascinated by the story changes that would happen with genderswapped jsamn#like the biggest one would be...how the hell would norrell reconcile making english magic respectable#with also her need to be The Magician whilst also being a woman?#like i cannot imagine her even as a woman considering female magicians as respectable#esp if we also genderswap john uskglass and have her be the raven queen like could you imagine the propaganda against old magic twice over#female strange would be just as much of a chaotic talented whirlwind except every time someone says 'you cant do that youre a woman'#she is a) astonished to remember 'oh yeah i guess' and then b) proceeds to be disgruntled and then c) decides not to give a fuck about it#female childermass would still smoke her pipe ans do her sneaking but probs disguised as a man#which norrell hates but is willing to ignore as long as she comes into the house in skirts#male emma would probs take the place of walter pole in the sense#that he would still be sickly and die and be bargained#but norrell would use the resurrection as a trade for his support for magic etc#i guess female stephen would be female walters ladys maid but i cant see anyone taking her condition any more serious as a woman#it wouls probs be worse tbh#but also she would have the frustration of knowing how to sort out a house and accounts etc but not having the authority to do it#which the lady with the thistledown hair would try to fix for her obvs#thistle would be exactly the same except probs a misandrist haha#BUT. i cannot get distracted by this#i must laser focus on the other fic#this is how fic orphans are created
