So im reading the queen of nothing and im at the part where Jude goes to Severin and sees Hazel and Ben and comments on how they're twins. But, they are not twins. Ben is a whole year older than Hazel. I thought that I was just misremembering The Darkest Part of the Forrest but when Ben is given is magic blessing the mom is pregnant with Hazel and Ben is a baby. That's why got a special talent and Hazel didn't. Hazel wasnt born yet. They're not twins.
Idk if this is a retcon or if Jude is just projecting her life onto these two strangers. Am I crazy?
when that dance battle started in the first episode, i for real was just ready to accept that that was what they were doing. like yea. dance it out, you little funkies
In 2016 I was mad that The Darkest Part of the Forest never got a sequel and in 2023 I'm still mad that The Darkest Part of the Forest never got a sequel.
the reason why transfem elias is my favourite theory for gwendolyn is because think about the implications.
so let’s say this alternate universe reveals that elias is actually transgender, and would present/identify as female if they had the opportunity to figure themself out and transition (elias was reportedly very young when jonah possessed them)
then the idea that in the tma universe they not only didn’t live long enough to do that, but THEIR BODY WAS TAKEN OVER BY SOMEONE ELSE WHO THEN PRESENTED IN A MASCULINE WAY AND LIVED AS A MAN USING THEIR FACE AND BODY FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS?!? FUCKING TERRIFYING
as a trans person myself, even though the real elias was dead the dysphoria that idea gives me is absolutely unreal, and really creeps into serious body/existential horror territory which i think would be really interesting and very in-character for a writer like jonny to explore.
