new intro post!
hihi! my name is Astra!
i'm transgender, non binary, and genderfluid. also aroace.
i am a minor. all ages allowed, but i will block people who are creepy, cross my boundaries, or even just kinda piss me off a lil. i won't disclose my age or break people's DNIs for age (or anything else).
on the note of blocking people: i don't have a DNI particularly, but i do block people. that said, if you're a bigot, i'll probably block or not engage. that's my main thing, but i also believe that you should curate your internet to your preferences, so things like discourse can lead to you being blocked (if i know you irl or we've been moots fir a while, you're unlikely to be blocked because i love people and like to be around them). see below for the biggest thing.
i'm disabled, mentally and physically.
i post shitposts, endless reblogs, and sometimes... uh... stuff that isnt those things?
interests (subject to change, updated sometimes)
OPERATION MINCEMEAT (musical)
space, project hail mary
bears in trees (band)
writing! hey you! update! i've got a sideblog for this now: @astra-carmina i'll be rbing all my poetry and fanfic stuff there from now on :)
theatre (i'm a techie, esp costuming, but i love acting too!!)
books! i'm a huge reader (fanfic too) and have a very not-updated sideblog @the-tome-gnome for book recs
gay stuff (im gayyy)
sports, esp trans activism in sports, mostly just swimming things (i'm a swimmer. 50/100 free, if you're curious)
i write fanfic! astral_duck on ao3, post with all my fics here (some of my older fics. just go check my ao3)
favs:
music: bears in trees, IDKHOW, felix hagan and the family, olivia rodrigo, noahfinnce, chappell roan, ajr
books: brandon sanderson, phm, assorted childrens books i'm still very attached to, legendborn
tv/movies: nimona, pjo, the princess bride, frozen, holy grail
musicals: operation mincemeat, hadestown, beetlejuice, suffs
school subjects: english and latin
tags i use: #for the moots -> for the moots. #astra adlibs -> original post tag. #astralart -> artposts. i try to tag triggers such as sa, self-harm, extreme violence. i format them as tw [trigger] and usually put some variants. i also tag flash warnings (if i miss one: lemme know!).
one big thing: suicide jokes (‼️specifically jokes‼️)aren't my thing. i generally don't engage with them. i won't block moots over them, but might block random ppl for them. if you treat it like a punchline or are like "omg ppl should kill themselves" that's pretty much an instant block (not strictly if in a reblog tho).
i hope you have a lovely day!
