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.

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.

[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!

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

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.

Started reading Jacqueline Wilson again because I thought "oh those are nice easy books to read on an early morning commute" forgetting how fucking depressing these books are. We got everything:

Parental abandonment

An uncaring system

Child death

Ghosts?

A critique of peole claiming 'Christian' morals while turning a blind eye

Poverty

Attempted assualt

And more!

Ramon Tikaram as Chester Benjamin in Hetty Feather (s3 e4)

#ramon tikaram #hetty feather #gif #click for bigger #i found this in decent quality but with arabic hardcoded subs #on youtube #so had to do some workarounds #i found without subs too but in barely visible quality #anyway he used a south amurican accent here #i will say again that he is good with accents #also i liked how the matron and others were looking at him with desire #that's how it should be

Random thing I realised: reading the book after you've watched the show/movie feels like reading canon fanfic.

I’m in a Jacqueline Wilson mood, and I’m rereading Emerald star and fucking yikes to Jem

Not to be controversial, but Ellen-Jane "Diamond" Potts from the Hetty Feather books by Jacqueline Wilson has suffered more than Jesus Christ himself.

So far I've reread the original Hetty Feather trilogy, Diamond, and Little Stars...CAN I JUST SAY HOW UNBELIEVABLY ANNOYING HETTY'S FOSTER SISTERS ARE WTF

LIKE THE WAY THEY ACT SO SNOBBY...so unwelcoming...so callous and insensitive towards Hetty and Gideon. It was bad in Emerald Star but it literally gets even worse in Little Stars 💀 I know Hetty has matured somewhat at this point, in terms of not flying into tempers so easily, but I literally would have decked those women idk how she had the self-restraint not to LMAO. I was absolutely getting the same vibes when it's pointed out that Peg seemed to appreciate the company of her foster children more.

Screw you to Nora, Bess, Rosie and (the older) Eliza in particular 🖕 and screw Jem as well but my disdain is for different reasons 💀 Janet deserved better smh.
