the sunbearer duology where
the antagonistic characters are lgbtq+ and despite antagonism, identities & pronouns are respected
the entire world built has lgbtq+ identities and genders and disabled characters & it doesnt become the primary reason characters don't get along or don’t fit in.
girls are tall & strong; hot & mean
Spanish words are interspersed with English.
even the bullies are angry that the ability to utilise sign language for a deaf person is unavailable because reading lips is very taxing and challenging
boys are nervous, boys cook.
adoption (his)stories that aren't necessarily joyful or "happily received"
abusive characters that are women and not the angry man trope
abuse storylines but not the wrong overused statement: "but that's your relative..."
there's probably more i can' think of right now add some in the comments if you wish.
