Intro post because someone called me a bot once and I haven't stopped thinking about it since even though I'm about 50% sure no one reads these
I'm Nova, I use he/they/star pronouns, and my birthday is November 2007 (makes it so I don't have to update my age if I type it this way). White, pagan (complicated), trans, a queer of some kind.
My interests are ever changing and can only really be reliably tracked through what I'm reblogging.

Boundaries under the cut:
I can't stop people from interacting, but I will probably block you if:
- You are homophobic, transphobic*, racist, ableist**, misogynist, antisemitic, or anything similar
- You are a Harry Potter fan, regardless of whether you support JKR or not. Stop giving her series attention and money.
- You're a zionist. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
- You engage in cringe culture. Don't kill the part of you that is cringe. Kill the part of you that cringes.
- You are pro contact or proud of being a pedo/zoophile. If you're anti-contact and seeking help, good! I might still block you for my own safety and comfort.
- You're in the TCC***. Liking true crime is fine, glorifying the actions of murderers is not.
- You support ai. Support actual artists and writers instead of the slop a computer guesses its way into making.
- You're a very vocal proshipper OR antishipper. I find people who are constantly talking about either annoying, and no one can decide what proshipping is anyway.****
*This includes being tranmisogynist, transandrophobic, and exorsexist. I'm not interested in arguing about what gender of trans person has it worse. People want us dead.
**This includes belief in cluster B/narcissist/BPD abuse. Those don't exist. Abuse is not caused by someone having a mental illness.
***True crime (or is it cringe? Idk whichever one is glorifying the murderers) community.
****"What's your stance, Nova?" -No one ever. I block people who ship minors and adults and also block incest because it grosses me the fuck out. I report people advocating real harm and you should too. Other than that I don't care.
The block button is my beautiful wife, and I do not limit her to these boundaries. I love blocking people, sometimes for the above reasons and sometimes just because I find them annoying. You're free to do the same to me.
I don't really feel comfortable dming anyone under 16. I also don't feel comfortable with people much older dming me. Please respect that.
Don't dm me in a sexual manner. I don't know you, and this isn't an nsfw blog.
Had Simon made it back from the blood ocean, he would not have gained the freedom that he so desperately desired. He would be neither a hero nor a free man nor would he return to being a prisoner.
Simon has been so lovingly associated with Laika only because he did not return. Had he done so, he would share the fate of Felicette, the space cat.
He would be a valuable source of information to the COI. They would have wanted to open him up, to see what it is the ocean has done to him. To see what the ocean will do to them.
It is the end of the world. Any little bit of information would be so incredibly valuable. Simon, with his host of mutations, would practically be a treasure trove to them. There is no contribution he could make that will truly be great enough to spare him this fate.
In the eyes of the COI, his greatest contribution will be his death.
His greatest contribution is what he can only give in his passing.
another heavy handed symbolism moment: my mom has a potted sunflower in the kitchen. because it is a sunflower, it keeps turning towards the light from the window. my mother keeps rotating it so it faces inward because she wants "to see its beautiful petals and have it really brighten up the space!" . the sunflower is visibly wilting .
I am tired of seeing historical "yeah we know it's not accurate but wouldn't that be fucking cool" movies that are always only about like. Three places. Fourth one maybe if you're really lucky. I am tired of that. I am tired of the greeks.
I want to see an over the top Rule Of Cool historical action movie about some wild shit that alledgedly happened 3000 years ago in idk Sudan.
Working an office job will truly make you have the wildest enemies, bc why is my nemesis rn a woman I’ve never met and who exclusively haunts me by sending diabolical emails, and also a specific guy who left my company before I even worked here and made the system so fuckass that it ruined procedures for like a year
Yesterday my nemesis (woman I’ve never met and whose face I’ve never seen) sent my office an email so rude, basically saying we had fucked up every project she ever ordered from us, one of the worst emails I’ve ever read in my life.
And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.
This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.
I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.
After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.
It was the most satisfying workday I’ve had since I got hired.
