I read the book I Am Princess X when I was 12

I read the webcomic Homestuck when I was 13

When I was 14, I made the connection that Jackdaw and Dirk Strider were essentially the exact same person

In this essay I will-

I Am Princess X

Cherie Priest

Illustrated by Kali Ciesemier 

May has had very few friends throughout her life, with the exception of Libby, who she met through their joint creativity with sidewalk chalk. Libby’s initial drawing spawned a series of written adventures about the character–Princess X–that both girls worked on together. They were the best of friends until Libby and her mom drowned, and all the written adventures were lost to Libby’s dad’s moving and carelessness. May knows her best friend is dead, but when she finds out that a webcomic about Princess X is online, she can’t help but hope that there’s something she doesn’t know. This story follows May’s quest to prove that her friend isn’t actually dead by following subtle clues in the online story within a story. The art that goes along with the fictional webcomic is beautiful and will appeal to readers who enjoy graphic novels but might be looking for something more text-heavy. Both a mystery and an adventure set in a realistic contemporary setting, this book can appeal to a wide variety of readers, although it does deal with some heavier topics such as death and grief, kidnapping, race, and divorce and other family issues, along with a few swears that make it solidly for young adult readers. The characters are compelling, from May, a stubborn but sometimes insecure teen who goes out of her way to find the truth, and Patrick, a morally gray hacker with a tendency to get in over his head, to Libby, a traumatized artist with a knack for finding her way out of some sticky situations, and Jackdaw, an outcast genius known for taking in runaways. Readers will likely find themselves drawn to the characters as well as captivated by the complex plot as May works to find her friend and put their mysterious villain behind bars.

The absolute tragedy that I Am Princess X was never even optioned for a movie. Can y’all imagine? Seeing Black Chava both pre and post demolition? Them skulking about in an abandoned shopping center? When she tore the sticker in half. So many books have no business hopping mediums, this book does.

Princess X was the it girl of the Scholastic Book Fair and continues to be the it girl of my heart

HEYO I AM PRINCESS X FANDOM (aka me and like 3 other people)

So I was rereading I am Princess X a couple weeks ago when I realized I didn’t know when the book takes place. It’s never actually mentioned in the book at all. So I started combing through pieces of pop culture mentioned to try and figure it out. Patrick uses some tech which would date the book, but not much. The iPad and Patrick’s use of Reddit means the book had to take place after 2010, but they’d still a decent chunk of time. After a while, I found something useful: a throwaway line at the end of Chapter 2 where May mentions ending the day by watching the Venture Bros. on Netflix with her dad. With a bit of digging, I discovered that the Venture Bros was added on Netflix after 2010 on September 15th 2014 and removed from Netflix on May 6th 2015. Now we know the book takes place in June because May finds the first Princess X sticker on June 1st. This means the book takes place in 2015, probably in an alternate universe where the Venture Bros wasn’t removed in May

i think our first mission as a collective fandom should be to find those princess x stickers nd make a google drive or something 😭 i REALLY want some of the merch off that french ig acc. maybe it was sold or around closer to the book release date? i missed that era T_T

[its-bread-bitch]

I need more people to be in the I am Princess X fandom bc I desperately need Jackdaw and Needle Man fanart. I just… there’s so much potential. Tumblr would go feral for these characters I just know it.

I've gotten back into reading books lately and WOW I did not expect a book I bought at a middle school book fair to have the word "porn" in it

[yusukesmomjeans]

Ok but there are some book series that deserve an active fandom and don't have enough support but they fully changed my life:

- I Am Princess X by Cherie Priest

- the Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper

- the Hollow Kingdom Trilogy by Clare B Dunkle

Fans of the book I Am Princess X

Do any of u guys have any songs that remind you of the book?

I’m trying to have a daydream session about books I like but I can’t think of a song for that one

[lightstar789]

I love ARGs. Especially when they're the plot of a piece of media.
