hello hello welcome to "Reed decides to question things and doesn't want to log on to their spam account so they're ranting here" I'm your host for tonight and let's waste no time and get right into this chat

so first off if you have ever changed your name you probably chose it because it was special to you and it rang a bell when you heard it or something like that right? so I came up with the name Reed just because I thought it sounded cool but as y'all should know by now I'm a huge fan of Juno and Beta and if you read the rant on my recent post, Juno is also okay with being called Nova. As soon as I heard that name I was oddly attached to it?? ever since I heard the name Nova I can't get it out of my head and I've been thinking about it long and hard and I kinda want to change my name to Nova instead of Reed.

Every time I think about it I'm like "what no your name is Reed" but I think I might actually be more comfortable with Nova, especially because of what went down with Alexis I was so skeptical of the name Reed. but honestly Nova feels like me, like home. I can feel myself being Nova, like I really feel like that's my name. I couldn't ever wrap my mind around the name Reed but I attached to this one so quickly that I think I wanna go by it instead of Reed. so I'm going to test it out for a little bit and see if it works, so until further notice Hi my name is Nova nice to meet ya.

also I want to once again say that when Juno used they pronouns for me my heart skipped like seven beats. I've never really had anyone irl call me they (except for a few people) but the fact that my birthname is in my user and my profile picture looks pretty feminine and they didn't use she/her makes me so happy. I love love love the fact that they don't use pronouns based on users or pictures Juno and Beta are my actual parents.

I think about this a lot but how would I ever tell any of my friends or family that I want my name to not be Julianne what the hecking heck. I know that "if they were really your friends they would accept you" but I mean I worry so much about these things how the heck would I ever transition. I've already got my hair short so I guess that's a step, I want a binder for days when I feel like it, and I want to be able to go by my preferred name and pronouns.

they're all so transphobic why is my family like this can you not lol

I'm going to change my bio thing to my new preferred name and see if anyone notices

no one has noticed yet and I'm okay with that

I think I'm going to wait a little before I officially tell y'all my new preferred name

welcome once again to "Nova is too tired to log into their rant account so they're doing it here" today I'm talking about my name and ships

if you saw me recent you probably now know I changed my name

me yesterday: I'm going to wait before I tell people me today: hi my names Nova

idk I'm very very very self conscious of what people think of me and because some of you have been friends with me for years *coughcoughcarriecoughcough*

it means you probably knew me by my birthname and while I don't mind it I really want to try this whole name thing out

anyways in my recent I didn't specify my ships because y'all are wild when it comes to ships, I ship Joshler but I also ship Jyler. just because I ship two people (one of which is married) doesn't mean I hate anyone they get together with. if Josh got together with Debby again I wouldn't care. if he's happy then so be it.

some people are crazy about it and I don't understand?? why must this happen why can't we all ship in peace
