Intro

Finally making an intro post!!!

🌙 Who am I?

Call me Nova (or Noodle, if you’d like!). My pronouns are she/hers. I’m keeping everything else a mystery, I like my anonymity <3

🌙 What do I like?

A ton of things! This is definitely a multi-fandom blog, as well as a collection of posts that I find interesting. However, here are a few things you can expect to find here:

The Mysterious Benedict Society (the TV show and the book!)

Dracula/Dracula Daily

Wolf 359

Jane Eyre (I don’t post about it much, but I do lurk)

Count of Monte Cristo

The Secret Series

Various serialized novels that come into my emails

and more!

BBC Dracula Liveblog (now updated and easier to navigate!!)

🌙 How to Interact?

My DM’s and asks are always open and I’d love to hear from you! All that I ask is that you be a decent human being: I don’t condone hate speech of any kind. Also, it might be helpful to use tone indicators with me as I am likely an undiagnosed neurodivergent person, so if I don’t understand something, please be patient with me and just explain what I missed!

Oh yeah, I also tend to use this a lot -> :) I know many people see that as passive aggressive or ominous, but that is my way of showing a friendly smile, so I thought I’d make a note of that here for your reference!

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

[squeeful]

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

[kurowrites]

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

[solarpunkcast]

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

[bogleech]

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

[prismatic-bell]

Patterson died 5 December 1995.

Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

[breelandwalker]

Happy Clair Cameron Patterson Day! Remember to hold Big Business and our country’s leadership for safety regulation and environmental preservation standards!

[four-rabbits-in-a-trenchcoat]

so who’s on first?

[you-say-that-so-often]

That’s right 👍🏻

[four-rabbits-in-a-trenchcoat]

that’s strange

[you-say-that-so-often]

No, he’s on second.

[four-rabbits-in-a-trenchcoat]

Well how’s he on second if he’s on first?

[you-say-that-so-often]

No no no, House is on third. Second base is Strange.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Well this whole darn thing is strange but what I’m asking is who’s on first?

[cplus902]

Naturally.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Who?

[tornadointhetundra]

Naturally.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

So Naturally is the first baseman?

[tornadointhetundra]

No. The first baseman is Who.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Well I don’t know that so how’s about you tell me?

[tornadointhetundra]

House is on Third.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

I’m not asking you about third base I’m asking you about first base.

[tornadointhetundra]

Who’s on first!

[supreme-leader-stoat]

This is horrible

[tornadointhetundra]

Dr Horrible is the pitcher, not first base

[supreme-leader-stoat]

That’s not what I’m asking about! No!

[kactusnz]

Dr No is up to bat.

Every single day without fail I find myself chuckling at how Sadeas perfectly recreated this with Adolin's assistance at the end of Words of Radiance.

Nova!!! You've been on my mind lately, and I miss you a lot. I'm sorry I let the ball drop on our conversations, and I hope you are doing well!! Wishing nothing but the best things for you <3

Ah!!!! Sophie!!!!! Thank you 🥹🥹🥹🥹

You’ve been on my mind lately too, and I miss you a lot as well! I’m sorry I haven’t really been active on here in *checks notes* more than a year. I want to be but I always psych myself out for one reason or another! Maybe I can finally start sharing more of my life on here again (and what I’ve been reading).

On the bright side, I’ve had a lot of great things happen to me over the past year! So your well wishes certainly have helped. I wish nothing but the best for you as well <3

You may go anywhere you wish in the castle, except where the doors are locked, where of course you will not wish to go. There is reason that all things are as they are, and did you see with my eyes and know with my knowledge, you would perhaps better understand.

Once again, the "Dracula acts as the masculine gothic figure of the suspicious nobleman or the abusive husband" counter starts! Today we have, verbal limitation of space framed in a way that would make Jonathan feel like it's his fault if something horrific happens to him because he was told to not do so, on top of claiming that whatever reaction he could have is not worthy enough since he doesn't have the "correct" knowledge to understand it.

AITA for throwing my houseguest's shaving glass out the window?

For context I (don't worry about my age M) have a solicitor (22 M) currently staying at my home for business purposes. For for the purpose of this post I will call my solicitor J.

J arrived a few days ago now and has been very well behaved staying in a small section of my home and being more then willing to answer any of my questions about the purchase and his fascinating home country (England).

This morning I went to visit him in his quarters to let him know breakfast was ready when I walked on him shaving. Now for personal medical reasons I will not discuss here have banned all mirrors and reflective objects from my home. It appeared through Johnathan brought his own mirror though. I accidentally startled him when I entered and he cut himself while shaving which set off my prior mentioned medical issues. This resulted in my lunching at him but I didn't actually touch him so it is no matter.

Now here is where I may be the asshole. Once I had collected my self I throw his mirror out the window and down a cliff face into the forest below. It was pure impulse. I played it off as taking revenge on it for making him cut him self and called it "a foul bauble of man's vanity". We moved on from the incident quickly but now J looks a bit uncomfortable around me.

I feel it should have been obvious from the lack of reflective surfaces in my home that mirrors are not allowed, but I technically never said it. I only told him not to go into locked rooms or fall asleep outside of his room. But who even brings a mirror with them when they travel? Anyway what do you all think, was I am asshole but tossing him mirror or just taking care of my self because of my medical issues?
