I love that Brendan has basically gone “Well, it’s not Al, but it’s still clearly a person, that makes it a child. Imma read them bedtime stories”

So sweet! <3

I must have read it a thousand times. All the oz books. But it was years and years before I knew how to sam i was a boy just yet. To a little baby trans, what a light, what a beacon is even the smallest flitter of recognition.
I keep tearing up at the pages with little toddler!Sulla and Brendan, even the somewhat unnerving moments of her birth, because she really is both of their kid, isn’t she?

I can’t stop crying through this whole section.
AAAAAAAHHH! OF COURSE it’s this part of Magical Land of Oz! It’s where Tip becomes Trans Idol Ozma!
