    King Trent from Xanth 😂

    fr though allmy parents were physically and emotionally abusive. School was a nightmare due to ND and the parents. There really weren’t any good adults in my life. I raised myself on books, pretty much. King Trent was my idealized role model, I read those books during a very formative time.

    He was the most powerful guy in the land but he was kind and caring to every creature. When the people who are supposed to protect you are hurting you that kind of thing seems very wonderful.

    The Xanth books haven’t held up very well at all, the author let a lot of pretty creepy misogyny in to his sci-fi in the way a lot of authors did back then.

    But I still would hope that if King Trent met me he would be proud of me and say some super nice kingly shit. Then I would ask him to make me a woman (he could transform things) :)
