Shoutout to iconic british kid's books that are framed like you're supposed to pick one of two siblings to side with and hate the other one, but when you read them as an adult you realise the parents are just horribly emotionally abusive and pitting the siblings against each other by making them into the golden child and the scapegoat, and they're both victims, and the parents just never get called out on this or face any consequences or learn the error of their ways at any point.

Me, reading your average children’s book series with teenage protagonists, aged 10-15ish: I wanna be just like them when I’m their age!! They’re living the life! I wish I could have a life full of adventures like them when I’m older!

Me, re-reading them as an adult: …those were children

Whenever people ask why I’m interested in the Victorian era I don’t quite know how to tell them that I grew up on ‘children’s’ books about a Victorian foundling who falls in love with her foster brother aged five, wants to run away to the circus, endures many hardships as a foundling, reunites with her birth mother who has changed her name to be with her daughter as a cook at the Foundling Hospital, is sent to work for a writer who tries to steal her life story to write a book, falls in love with a butcher’s apprentice, watches her mother die before becoming employed at a freak show as a mermaid and exposing a fake psychic, goes to the seaside to meet her biological father, runs away to the circus to become a ringmaster, escapes said circus with an abused acrobat child who was sold by her father to the circus, joins a music hall as a fake ventriloquist with said child, goes back home to her foster family for her foster father’s funeral and then her foster brother’s wedding, where the brother kisses her and tries to convince her to elope (she refuses - side note, another foundling was placed with that family and the brother tried to play out the same thing with that poor child) then becomes an actress with the acrobat child. Jacqueline Wilson was something else, and the Hetty Feather books are still my special interest.

Reading Jacqueline Wilson books as a child going through trauma was good for me. It was good to read about characters going through actual problems rather than a lot of fluff that was in children’s (and especially girl’s) literature for the time period as well as being a slightly more mature read that suited my reading level without being too grown for me.

[ID: Tumblr post from @partywithponies reading: “New terrible tumblr poll tournament idea: The Jacqueline Wilson Character Trauma Olympics. You have to pick which of two a Jacqueline Wilson characters has had the worst/most traumatic childhood and is going to be the most psychologically damaged by this in adulthood.” /End ID]

Hello, this is the terrible tumblr poll tournament, trying to figure out the definitive (as voted by tumblr) worst/most traumatic Jacqueline Wilson character childhood/adolescence.

All characters from children’s/adolescent’s books or short stories (including things like “Leonie’s Pet Cat” from Paws and Whiskers) by Jacqueline Wilson will be included, however there will be a form, both for seeding, for bringing up characters I might’ve missed, and for submitting your propaganda!

Other polls: @john-bracket @tournamentdirectory

(I don’t know many other polls, so, hi john bracket)

2. Katie kirby- wrote the Lottie brooks series (I love them so much for no reason)

3. Robin stevens- wrote the murder most unladylike series

4. Sharna jackson- wrote the high rise mystery books

5. Gabrielle zevin- wrote tommorow, and tommorow, and tommorow (long name), memories of a teenage amnesiac, and elsewhere

6. J. K. Rowling- I don't like the fact she's transphobic but I like harry potter so she makes my list

7. Paola battala!- I don't even care that Jackson's diary isn't a book it's a masterpiece 🤌

I know most of them are children's authors but I'm still legally a child sooo 🤷‍♀️

Reading Jacqueline Wilson books becomes like 55 times more interesting when you accuse the girl bullies to be lesbians.

Rhiannon: lol floss you smell bad

Me: oh you were smelling her??? ngl bro that's pretty gay

As of We Are the Beaker Girls, Tracy Beaker is working in an antique shop. Imagine if she came across Hetty Feather's journals. Imagine Tracy discovering this scrappy, temperamental, determined Victorian girl who grew up in an institution, loved writing, chafed against authority, longed for family. I think she'd make a connection with her and become very interested in the life she made for herself.

I'm gonna say it, okay? I miss Hetty Feather. I know I always used to complain that there were too many books in the Hetty Feather Literary Universe™️ and that Jacqueline Wilson needed to stop or slow down, but now it's been over 2 years since the last installment in the series with still no word on a new one and I miss my traumatised victorian children so much. I miss reading about children and teenagers dying of tuberculosis and becoming addicted to opium and having homoerotic adventures in the music hall. I need a new book about them so bad. I need it now. Why is Jacky releasing a sequel to Sleepovers and not the eleventh book in the Hetty Feather extended universe. When will Hetty & Diamond/Rose & Clover/Kitty & Lucy return from war.

So I'm currently re-reading Jacqueline Wilson books as an adult for the first time (not sure how big she was internationally but growing up in the UK in the 90s and 00s you weren't a bookworm girl if you didn't devour everything she wrote) and BOY is it a journey. A journey of realising that your parents had no idea what you were reading when you were ten because if they'd read these books, they probably wouldn't have let you read them.

#jacqueline wilson #so far Cookie is the most shocking #emotional abuse throughout with a sprinkle of physical #takes a special sort of monster to kill a pet rabbit for revenge against your ten year old on her birthday

How did I ever think the British Children’s Writer Jacqueline Wilson was straight?:

Jacqueline Wilson describing a boy character: He had dark hair and bright blue eyes, with a friendly smile and stylish clothes.

Jacqueline Wilson describing a girl character: She resembled a goddess, with golden curls that reached her waist, shimmering in the sunlight. Her emerald eyes burned bright with a courageous fire which matched her powerful smirk which left me feeling weak at the knees. Her midnight blue velvet crop top revealed her slim, flawless stomach which was the same ivory hue as the rest of her body, as if she were a priceless diamond.

It’s an exaggeration, sure, but can you tell me I’m wrong?

Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes, and that Justine Littlewood can BOG OFF

#jacqueline wilson #tracy beaker #fun fact i got in trouble at secondary school because i told another student to bog off #it was a miscarriage of justice because i knew the word fuck #and i was trying to be user-friendly #plus the girl i told to bog off was a big bruised banana
