Louise Fitzhugh was a lesbian, an all-around awesome person, and died way, way too young.

I got the “Circle of Magic” series, which is almost eerily spot-on–those books pretty much saved my life as a kid! Glad the characters and I got to grow up and become even queerer :)

Circle of Magic, which is accurate because tomboy heroine is my actual gender.

I got harriet the spy…which I loved as a kid. More so the movie than book. My young heart loved Rosie in that movie. Deep gay roots all around.

It’s like this quiz climbed into my head and KNEW. I was obsessed with Circle of Magic as a kid. Several of my friends and I decided which character we were, and this quiz even showed the cover of my character. T_T I feel seen.
