I reread Copy-Paste by @derinthescarletpescatarian back in February and did a book journal spread about it:

The bookmark has stamped on it "From the library of Kate" repeating with varying degrees of legibility. I put a lil belt on the bookmark to hold all the other smaller cards. I really liked using my Van Gogh stickers for this one because it's like twins (or... Copies???) of one person and how copies can still look different based on fashion choices and age.

If you're looking for a fun sci-fi short story I highly recommend you check out Derin's website and look at their other writing for more totally normal adventures in space and other places.

(if you want context, and somehow haven't seen my other posts about this, go read time to orbit: unknown by @derinthescarletpescatarian )

(chapter 2 here)

Can I suggest The Cursed Heart by Derin Edala (@derinthescarletpescatarian)

The main character is trans male.

It’s not on good reads as far as I can tell so I don’t know if that will disqualify it.

Thank you for the submission. I added it to the list :)

Saw your ask about going to a bookshop, got any book recommendations for someone who hasn't read many books in a while? Which type of stories intrigue you the most? Do you like movies? If so, which genres, which flicks?

My favourite fiction genre is fantasy, and I do so love @neil-gaiman's books; I've read 6 of his books so far this year. I've also read a few books from people here on Tumblr, such as Time to Orbit: Unknown and Curse Words by @derinthescarletpescatarian or Hunger Pangs by @thebibliosphere, or When The Angels Left The Old Country by @kuttithevangu. They're all lovely authors, and I think that Derin's books would be especially wondrous for someone who hasn't read in a while - they're tremendously engaging. I have also read a lot of other fiction this year, not by authors on Tumblr, but if we were to talk about all of the books I've read, we'd be here all day.

In terms of non-fiction, I tend to like books to do with religion, sociology, and anthropology. I've been reading a few books about the intersection of religion and queer identity lately, including the book I got yesterday. We also tried to look for Gathering Moss, which has been on my to read list for a while, as I loved Braiding Sweetgrass. Sadly, although Gathering Moss was meant to be on the shelf, it couldn't be found, so I couldn't get it yesterday.

Some other books I've got at that bookshop recently included the Wizard of Earthsea trilogy by Ursula K Le Guin, which I haven't read yet, and People Love Dead Jews, which was rather informative. It is a rather lovely bookshop; it's quite small, but it is an independent bookshop and publisher and tends to have books that the larger bookshops don't tend to have.

In terms of films, I tend to prefer either older films, odd films, or a mixture of the two.

People keep telling Derin that Derin is tumblr famous.

Derin refuses to admit that they are tumblr famous.

I have no clue whether they seriously believe this or are not believing for the bit or what at this point.

@derinthescarletpescatarian i will start screenshotting when i see your posts in the wild. you have escaped containment so many times.

@derinthescarletpescatarian okay so two things

One,

And two,

DERIN FISH-EATING EDALA YOU GET BACK HERE AND GIVE ME THE NEXT GODDAMN CLIFF TO HANG FROM MY CRAMPONS ARE READY AND MY SOUL IS WILLING

Hi. Need to holler about Curse Words. Mostly I need to hollar at @derinthescarletpescatarian . Link to free books included so y'all can join me in hollering at Derin.

Alright. Time to go holler at some 14yo's making stupid decisions! Bye!

Check out The Void Princess, by @derinthescarletpescatarian

What would you do if you met a feral robot dragon with a broken heart?

Original and alternate colored versions. It’s supposed to look like they’re flying above a very bright and glowing city satellite. Which is green because of eco friendly architecture of course.

Bonus: Silly Secret Tunnel parody inspired by Derin first making the connection
