In what fans are calling 'the move of the century', I uninstalled the tumblr app from my phone last night. Not for any specific reason, I've just been thinking lately that I need to step away from the internet for a bit and connect with my local community more. This blog will basically be inactive for the foreseeable future, maybe I'll post some cat pics every now and again. I'll check in on my art and writing sideblog @fallowfable a couple times a week on my laptop and you can follow me there, but don't expect a follow back unless I know you IRL. Peace

Transmasc. Deryn. Transmasc. Deryn. I'll die on this hill.

“Deryn remembered after Da’s accident, her mother and the aunties trying to turn her back into a proper girl— skirts, tea parties, all the rest. As if they wanted to erase the old Deryn and everything she’d been. She’d had to fight like mad to stay who she was. That was the trick—to keep punching, no matter what.” Excerpt From Leviathan Scott Westerfeld

The other fun thing about shipping Marcille/Falin is that you might think it's going to be toxic because of Marcille's criminal background or Falin's repressed death wish, but then you read the supplementary material and it turns out the actual vector for potential toxicity is that Marcille has weird hangups about tallman culture's gender expressions that come out in ways that make Falin uncomfortable, and neither of them will ever have the vocabulary to unpack all that because they live in vaguely German Renaissance fantasy land.

Deryn closed her eyes, deciding to blazes with it all.

"I'm a girl."

When Deryn opened her eyes, the lady boffin was staring at her with no change in expression.

"Indeed," she said.

Deryn's mouth fell open. "You mean you.... Did you barking know?"

"I had no idea at all. But I make it a policy never to appear surprised." Dr. Barlow sighed, staring out the window. "Though on this occasion it is proving rather more demanding than usual. A girl, you say? And you're quite certain?"

1. This is a turning point, I think, where we see Dr. Barlow become less of an Imposing Authority Figure and instead become slightly more comedic. Once we've established that she likes Deryn enough to work with her, and she's not a potential threat to Deryn being discovered, she gets to be the butt of the occasional joke. And I love it!! It's very fun!!

2. Now I know it's meant to be that Dr. Barlow isn't used to being wrong, but also. Consider:

Deryn: I'm a girl

Dr. Barlow:

Dr. Barlow: And you're quite certain?
