(because this post is meant to be a road sign and not a solid wall like a DNI post)
Welcome, potential friends and foes, to my space station of a Tumblr.
You can call me Novafire, or Nova for short.
I have 4 primary moods:
I question the effectiveness of long intro posts, so here’s a summary:
My way of navigating life on and off this site aligns pretty well with True Neutral. But in true neutral fashion, it’s not a strict code I adhere to. It just means:
- My own interests take priority, but I try to be kind as it makes things easier for everyone involved.
- I have the courage of an ostrich mixed with the wits and confidence of a crow. (i.e. I suffer from a lack of conviction in all but a handful of things, but I’m willing to learn.)
- I tend to evaluate things on a case-by-case basis.
- I will not bite unless I see the need for preemptive action or if someone bites first. And even then, I’m more likely to ignore stuff since I just can’t be bothered to retaliate.
What to expect:
- I scan and monitor every Tumblr that follows me until I’ve gotten a good read on them. Blank blogs are fine as long as I can see they’ve either followed other TF accounts or have liked+reblogged TF content recently.
- My blog is SFW for the most part, but NSFW accounts are free to follow and interact.
- I rarely follow accounts that aren’t primarily Transformers-focused, but I reblog from anywhere and everywhere.
Communication:
- I use tone tags for convenience, but they’re not necessary if someone wants to interact with me.
- My inbox is open, but I disable anonymous asks every now and then when I expect issues.
- DMs are open, but my response time varies depending on whether or not my proverbial stars have aligned and how well I know someone.
- Please, no serious venting to me without warning. I may know a lot about the human mind and psychological and social dynamics, but I have no desire to play armchair therapist.
Triggers and how I accomodate:
- If you need something tagged, let me know :) Anything asked of me earnestly will be granted.
- I have very few triggers myself, and the ones I do have don’t require mentioning since I just scroll past stuff that bothers me.
- If I reblog something from someone, it doesn’t mean I’m married to them. 95% of the time I reblog, I don’t consider the source. To me, good content is good content. However, if you alert me to something and respectfully request that I not reblog from a particular user, I will comply since I don’t want issues.
My relationship with my followers:
- I am not responsible for the behavior of my followers. I carefully consider what I say so as not to incite drama or allow for my words to be taken out of context. However, I’m not perfect and my followers have wills of their own.
- I am not responsible for anything any of my followers reblog on your posts. Do not expect me to moderate this.
- Unlike some around these parts, I do not consider there to be such a thing as “Nova Nation” or anything along those lines. My followers are not my disciples, even jokingly. They are not necessarily a direct reflection of me or my views.
My relationship with characters:
- If you see me kinning a character you’d consider problematic, please don’t jump to conclusions. More than likely, there are just one or several isolated traits I relate to.
- I admit I have a fascination with and a love for IDW Prowl. However, please note that I do not consider him to be a “good person” or condone many of his actions. I just think the way his mind works is really interesting. And no, I’m not a JazzProwl shipper.
- I do not believe in excessive woobification of characters without acknowledgment of their faults, especially those like IDW Prowl. Yes, I want to wrap him in a blanket. No, I’m not blind to the horrors he’s committed.
- I avoid character “tribalism” as much as possible. When it comes to any character, I will never shove my opinions down another’s throat, but I will absolutely provide thoroughly considered opinions in a controlled way.
- I’m not a hardcore shipper myself, but I have a select few I like. I also respect most other ships out there.
Miscellaneous:
- I talk in the tags. A lot. :P
- Spam likes and reblogs are more than welcome.
- Feel free to tag me in stuff at any time! There’s no need to wait until we’re mutuals.
- If you tag me in something and I don’t acknowledge it within a couple of days, please DM me. Tumblr is a stupid cat that likes to eat tags and reblogs. >:(
This is where you’ll find my playlists, moodboards, character ref collection, etc.
