I hyperfixate on things way too intensely and have a bad habit of losing sleep to said hyperfixations. My current hyperfixation is pretty much all alternative rock from the 70s/80s to now, but particularly 2000s rock bands, My Chemical Romance specifically. I know probably more about them and their discography than a sane person should.

I’m also very intrigued by all things physics, from Newtonian physics to general relativity and quantum physics. I’m slowly but surely working my way up to being able to understand all the math behind it; mostly the quantum physics, though, so I do have a lot of advanced mathematics work ahead of me if I want to be able to understand it. I think it’d be great to be able to somehow miraculously invent a theory of quantum gravity, but that most likely won’t be me who does it. Might as well try, though; you never know what can happen.

You may notice I sign off with ‘Cheers, Shadestar474,’ which is for no reason and is totally not a reference to anything.

I am currently severely hyperfixated on Norse mythology, the language of Old Norse, the Elder Futhark, and Old Norse culture, thanks to my favorite book series, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. From those books, I’ve also picked up a tendency to curse in Old Norse or use Norse gods’ names for curses in English.

I use semicolons way too often; also hyphens at the end of sentences- Speaking of, I’m also an avid grammar nerd, so most of my non-vandalism-reverting edits to articles in mainspace tend to be fixing random typos or wrong uses of hyphens, en dashes, em dashes, commas, or semicolons. (justice for the colloquial death of the Oxford comma)

I speak Scottish Gaelic pretty badly. My pronunciation’s pretty much perfect, but I have the vocabulary of a toddler; I don’t think I could keep up a conversation about much more than whatever I’m ordering at a restaurant or what the weather is (Duolingo at it again).

I’ve also previously hyperfixated I N T E N S E L Y on Greek mythology/the Percy Jackson series, and my brain is very cluttered with very obscure Greco-Roman myths. Maybe that’s why I don’t have room in there for the vocabulary of a whole other language.

do not talk to me about the Star Trek universe; i will rant for hours on end because TNG is my childhood and my favorite TV show ever and you will not be able to stop me

I identify as genderfluid, so my identity changes from day to day. I’m most often male, nonbinary, or some mix of the two, which is why I have my gender set to male in my preferences, but I occasionally identify as female. Call me whatever pronouns you like; neopronouns and it/its are fine too. You can absolutely use she/her pronouns for me sometimes if you want, but just don’t use she/her all the time, for everything.
