trans kendra would not bother to come out to stan but would instead simply gaslight him into believing that he’d genuinely forgotten she was his grandaughter. he calls her by her deadname in book one and she’d simply *pikachu face* “you dont know my name?” rather than risk coming out to her grandfather she barely knows.

and i believe this in my heart.

#i found brand new things to project on these characters this re-read #fablehaven #kendra sorenson #i am blindly cherry-picking ‘evidence’ as usual #kendra’s relationship to feminity is *like that* now #not because mull doesnt know how to write female characters #but bc shes trans #also this would totally work #bc grandpa prolly feels guilty enough about his lack of relationship with his grandchildren #and is uncomfortable enough in book 1 #to never question it #seth is bribed with cookies obvs #and is obvs down for any scheme #stan finds a picture of her in blue baby clother one day #and is like *record scratch* wait a second is that why i thought this? bc blue is a boys color? oh my god im as bad as coulter #misogyny has rotted my brain nooo wheres my wife and her crossbow #to be clear tho #while stans def an old ass man in that regard #i think its pretty clear that stan really loves his family #and would come around quickly #but like hed def be an accidental pain in the ass about it #and i hate dealing with that #and i think coming out is the worst #therefore kendras ought to out girlboss her way out of #where i cant out boyboss 😔✌🏻

Something I picked up during one of my rereads of Fablehaven is that Seth's middle name changes. Book 1 pg 248, |"Seth Andrew Sorenson, you mind your grandmother! I want you to come done from there."| Book 3 pg 249| Grandpa stood up, fists on his hips. "Seth Michael Sorenson, you return to this cart this instant!"|

What do you think? Is Seth's middle name 'Andrew' or 'Michael'. Or is it both? Seth Andrew Michael Sorenson. Because I really want Seth to have an actual middle name so I'm, going with both of these. Reality is though- that Mull probably forgot he gave Seth a middle name in book 1 and gave him a brand new one in book 3. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.

#fablehaven #seth sorenson #seth andrew sorenson #seth michael sorenson #which is it?#which do you accept since both are canon #or are you like me and just accept both and say he has two middle names #it's not like its impossible #i have two middle names

Reading the Fablehaven Cookbook and see this

Did Grandpa Sorenson just like, adopt the Larsens?? Because Knox and Tess aren't related to Grandma and Grandpa Sorenson, they're Larsens

Also (sort of spoiler) I was a little upset to not get any more Kendra and Seth content, but I'll take what I can

Grandpa Sorenson: The caretakers of Hidden Hollow will be visiting Fablehaven to discuss centaur relations. Their children are close to your age, and are in the know, so I hope you can get to know them and keep them safely occupied during their visit.

Seth: Awesome! Some kids we can relate to and compare adventures with!

Kendra: I wonder how many preserves they've been to.

Grandma Sorenson: This is the first preserve they have visited, other than Hidden Hollow, and it is far safer than Fablehaven. They don't even know about dragon sanctuaries or Zzyzx. Do not get them killed because you think all kids who live on preserves go on reckless adventures.

So in the span of just under two weeks I reread the entire Fablehaven series.

This was my all-time favorite series growing up, and I reread it multiple times. But, this was my first time as an adult reading it through, so here are my fresh takes. Hidden below for spoilers and length of post.

- Grandpa Sorenson is so stressed. Especially in the first book. His wife is a chicken, he’s got a preserve to run, and he’s just had two naive kids dumped on him during one of the most dangerous nights of the year. He’s struggling just to keep them ALIVE but one especially just keeps poking the hornet’s nest and gets himself transformed into a walrus. And then opens a window. And keeps sneaking into the woods. Honestly, I don’t blame him for having a small breakdown in book 3. He’s been under tremendous pressure and responsibility.

- Grandma Sorenson is a BADASS. Right out the gate when we meet her, fresh out of chicken form, she is immediately telling Muriel to gtfo her property and sets about planning a rescue for the others. She goes into the Forbidden Chapel with the crossbow because she intends to KILL if it comes down to using it. She’s decisive, one heck of a negotiator, and firm. Legend.

- Seth really matures over the series. Like, book 1 he’s a kid getting into trouble (painful, terrible, trouble). He’s young, reckless and stupid. But the seeds are planted. He opens the window because he thinks he’s saving a baby. In book 2, he’s tricked by several adults multiple times, but we really get to see him be truly courageous. Book 3 he’s starting to learn from his mistakes, and consider the future consequences of his actions (though not entirely in full, he insults centaurs into helping them but basically goes “yeah, we’ll cross that whole duel-to-the-death bridge when we get there”). Book 4 he’s ready for action, he’s ready to go on the offensive, and he takes /calculated/ risks that pay off. Book 5, yes. He was tricked into healing Graulus. But he takes responsibility and fixes his mess. He’s far more seasoned, and grown.

- Kendra grows in her own way. If Seth is the definition of “learning things the hard way” Kendra is bound by “doing the right thing, even if she hates hit.” Multiple times throughout the series she steps up for dangerous, deadly tasks, not because she wants to, but because there’s no other choice and she knows it. She also doesn’t take an easy out when presented. She fights to stay. Petitioning the Fairy Queen is dangerous, but it’s the only way she can save her family. Leading the climb up Lost Mesa is deadly, but she’s the only one who can see the trail. And so she insists they include her, even though she’s scared and would prefer to stay home. As the tasks get deadlier and deadlier, she’s still right there in thick of it, doing what she can.

- Also on Kendra, one thing I really appreciated was that she really demonstrates that kind =/= nice. She can give as good as she gets. She and Seth banter and tease each other constantly, and she has some real sarcastic sass saved for members of the Society. But she remains so kind that the Fairy Queen picked her as her handmaiden. It’s brilliantly portrayed.

- Hugo.

- “Smart people learn from their mistakes. But the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others.” - Dale. This quote stuck with me the moment 11-year-old me first read it, and has had quite the influence on my life.

- Vanessa deserves more credit, even though she is the main driver behind the entire theme of trust issues the books explore.

- Tanu is the best. They would all be so dead many times over without him.

- Dale takes a look at people getting transformed into other beings or substances, magically imprisoned, or outright killed and goes ‘nope, not messing with any of that. I’m just gonna do my job and play it safe’. Warren looks at all those things and goes ‘let me fill my bingo card.’

- Most of my favorite guy names come from this series. Warren. Seth. Patton. Gavin. The exception is Tobias, which comes from the Animorphs. No offense to Bracken for not being included on the list, I just always think of the Warrior Cats, sorry.

- I didn’t like Coulter as a kid, but his rough edges make him feel more real. Vanessa is cool. Warren is awesome. Tanu is friendly. Coulter is like a cactus. But damn if I wasn’t tearing up at his death at the end. Sexism and caustic personality aside, he knew his trade and did his best to help. And, I’m not sure how much of it was just talk. In book 2 he straight up told Seth and Kendra that if it came down to it, he would save himself. But it did come down to it in the grove, and he saved Seth with the pod. He knew what to do whenever the chips were down.

- The staaaaakes. They just get realer and realer with each book.

- I wish we could have seen more of Laura, the caretaker of Obsidian Waste. This woman’s entire family is captured, held hostage by zombies, and she’s supposed to lead this team of Knights, none of whom she knows, to their doom. Instead, she stabs her protege and warns them of the trap, signing her family’s death warrants in the process. She commits sabotage all the way up until the final moment. RESPECT.

- I constantly wish I could eat the food in Fablehaven. Whether made by Lena, or the brownies, or magic, it just sounds sooo tasty.

- Death gets more real with each book. I mean, it practically opens recounting the death of Grandma and Grandpa Larsen on page 2. Errol Fisk is the first to truly die, and yeah he was a bad guy but it was surprisingly brutal. Then we start losing some ‘redshirts’ - Tammy, Neil, Javier, at Lost Mesa. But again, the method is still shocking. Tammy is straight up flung off a cliff. You don’t see it coming. Then Rosa off-screen. And then in book 4 we have to go through “Kendra’s” death, which feels real to Seth and the others. And Dougan, who is no longer a redshirt, we know him. And Gavin/Navarog. And then book 5.

- As a kid I pretend to be a voice actor for a character from each book if they ever became movies. Book 1: Muriel, Book 2: The fairy guarding the Forgotten Chapel, Book 3: Chalize, Book 4: Nafia/Nyssa, Book 5: Civia. Plus the naiads in general.

- The Totem Wall is still so freaking cool. So are astrids.

- Raxtus being the best friend ever.

- “Some imagine the difference between heaven and hell to be a matter of geography. Not so. The difference is much more evident in the individuals who dwell there.” - Agad. MAN.

- I think, with more time and opportunity, Warren could be the next Patton. And I think Seth is in a league all on his own.

- The brownies booby-trapping the house forcing them all to flee is still one of my favorites sequences.

- Mull’s Eternals were eternalling before Marvel’s Eternals eternalled. I accept no criticism.

- I still love this series so much. 10/10 will read again.

#fablehaven #i read the first two books of dragonwatch #i hate amnesia arcs though #they're really tough for me #so i was waiting for the rest of the series to come out #so i could just get through it as quickly as possible #but now im hearing things #maybe i'll just leave it alone #i love canon way too much to suffer #the fablehaven quintilogy is perfection #i will leave it with its happy ending

In the first chapter of Fablehaven, “Why didn’t you tell us Grandpa Sorenson lived in India?” This kid is acting like New York to Connecticut is far. Somehow this seems like an appropriate introduction to the legend that is Seth Sorenson.

Calvin: As your vassal, it’s my responsibility to have your back at all times. So if you ever get in trouble, I shall act as like a... lawyer to you.

Seth: Okay.

*later that day*

Grandpa Sorenson: Seth! Sit down on that chair, you’re in trouble!

Calvin, from Seth’s pocket: Deny everything!

Seth, loudly: That isn’t a chair!
