"ooooh I'm gonna turn evil, it's in my blood"

"ooooh jack's gonna make me join the slaughterhouse nine"

"ooooh people are right to ignore/hurt me"

Finally confronts jack when the nine come to Brockton Bay and turns out her mum just wrote weird self-insert fanfic in her diaries. Danny is her dad and jack's gay as hell...

You don't get it, planning to betray the undersiders was just in her nature...

you're sipping the electrolyte drink as we wait. i'm quietly reading the screamticker headlines. your hands won't stop fidgeting. your fingers find a brochure on the table in front of you, advertising the service you're already here to receive, for the fourth time. you half-read it like a cereal box. "SAMPLESCAN CLONING IS PERFECTLY SAFE" it says in handsome blue font. "ASIDE FROM A SMALL SCAR ON THE THIGH WHERE THE SAMPLE IS TAKEN, MOST CLIENTS REPORT ONLY MILD SCANNING SICKNESS AS A SIDE EFFECT. CLIENTS TYPICALLY REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN TWO TO THREE HOURS."

your eyes catch on that last word. you read it again. then again. your eyes drift from the brochure to the drink in your other hand to the unblemished flesh of your exposed thigh beneath your skirt. you taste your own mouth and try to remember how to breathe. you watch as i put my hand on your thigh, firm. you turn to look at me. my stare is flat and utterly without warmth. "happy birthday, baby." i say. "how does it feel to be one?"

[ID: Tweet by @PoliticsUK reading: "NEW: Parliament has confirmed Count Binface will not be allowed to sit in the Commons wearing his sapce costume and bin head. He remains the only main challenger to Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election.". This is quote-tweeted by @Annnemarieward saying "The joke isn't the bin. The joke is pretending the man inside it is some random eccentric. Jonathan David Harvey is an Oxford-educated writer with three decades at the heart of the BBC comedy establishment, writing for programmes such as The Thick of It, Have I Got News For You and Yes Minister. He's won awards, been celebrated by the media, and is hardly an unknown outsider. So let's stop pretending Count Binface is just a bloke who wandered into politics wearing a wheelie bin. The costume is the gimmick. The career behind it is anything but." End ID]

yes! nail on the head right here. like yes, it's worth it to be like "fuck stephen king" and criticize the particulars of his transmisogynistic writing, but the broader point is that this is what transfemininity looks like in pop culture and it's what it looks like right now!
