Hello!

Welcome to my blog. Here you will find a plethora of artwork, writings, musings, and more! But before you click anything or scroll even further, please read below.

I think DNIs are pointless. Just mill around on here. I can decide whether to interact with you or not. Go to town. This blog is for everyone.

Please let me know if you want to talk. I can’t promise that I’ll always be available, but I’ll try my best.

As for navigation for those of you who are new to Tumblr...

Head to "FAQ/About Novalis" to learn more about the anomalous humanoid running this blog.

Head to "Talk to me, Goose" (on the app) to drop an ask in my ask box!

Head to "My Masterlist" to view a list of my writings and moodboards!

Head to "Book Recs" to see a list of books that I like and wish to recommend. Yeah, the link is broken atm but I'll fix it at some point.

That's all for now, and I hope y'all enjoy the show!

❤️Novalis

What elements of ‘Kingdom Hearts’ have stayed with you the most?

[fox-bright]

do not taste plants if you don't know what they are

do not identify a fruit as edible just because it tastes sweet

hope you didn't eat any fucking seeds, bro

And today, we have this winner:

I saw the photo in my feed and went ohh, dude, no, we do not handle yellow rocks with our bare hands until we know for sure what they are. And I know that orange...

In comments, they continue:

and that's where I started cussing at the computer monitor. But someone else had got there first:

So just as a reminder, folks. If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your fucking mouth!

YOU GODDAMN STUPID MOTHERFUCKER

[javaelemental]

Good fucking god, people, if you don't know what it is, DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR STUPID MOUTH.

Oh my god. Good lord. I learned that when I was TINY. I was the tiniest, dumbest baby child and I knew better than to do this. What is wrong with you.

At Halloween last year, the tiniest little girl dressed as one of the Folk came to my door. There's an increasingly magnificent native beautyberry to one side of my stoop, with its marvelous electric purple berries served up in great tumbles, and she was transfixed by it. She got her candy, I complimented her costume, she started down the stairs, and then stopped, and turned back around. Her: "Are those for-eating berries?" Me: "Oh, you are so smart and clever for asking first! That is such a good idea, I'm so impressed! These are Callicarpa, called beautyberry, and they are edible. Usually they are for cooking, though, to make syrup or jam, and they're not very nice right off the bush. But they are a food berry, and you're so smart to ask!" Her: "Can I...try one?" Me: "If your mother says you may." Her mother, from the walk: "Are you SURE, like, 100% sure. That those are food." Me: "A hundred percent sure, ma'am. I could show you a couple of websites on them, if you want." The Girl: *waits for her mother's nod, then gently reaches out and takes three very small berries and puts them into her mouth* The Girl: *makes an inquisitive face as she chews, walking down the path toward her mother* Me, turning back inside: "Husband, you should have seen this very smart little girl just now!"

Things I like about this decal on a restaurant window: -the insane orange waiter -that he’s carrying his plates in the air like a strongman -the couple looks like this isn’t the first time he’s done this, but it’s easier to just let it happen at this point. -the sign says PASTA as if he’s screaming it like a frankenstein -but he’s holding a plate of an entire chicken and a plate of wine glasses -there’s three wine glasses -one’s for him.
