Starbound artists drawing Novakids with eyes or mouths makes me viscerally uncomfortable. Also the shocking number of EYEBROWS. I get human art has an overreliance on facial expressions to convey personhood but maybe embrace the unearthly alien nature of a being made of hydrogen and helium with a metal object for a face.

Worst part of being fictotherkin is that it's near impossible to find cool art of your species that isn't canon fanart or someone's OC

One of my main issues with Starbound canon is the lack of imagination required to commit to the implications of its own alien biology. "Oh magnetic polarity determines Novakid biological gender so that they can have sex blah blah" NO. We reproduce like stars. A Novakid is born when its one genderless parent fucking EXPLODES

Novakids enter a store and leave with what you came for without spending an hour getting distracted by everything challenge (impossible)
