Getting To Know Me
Hello! My name is Nova, but I also sometimes go by Alice. I'm a teen girl who enjoys many kinds of arts, from drawing to film.

Gravity Falls Instagram Fandom
I had a Gravity Falls based Instagram back when the show started, up until it ended, named @TheMystery_Craft. I made great friends and even started a meme among the GF Instagram community, with my internet friends Jo, Ollie, and Alex. The meme was tagged as #DipperTheFirst and #DipperTheFirstApocalypse.

Mid-way through season two, I changed my username from  @TheMystery_Craft  to  @TheMysteryCraft , removing the underscore to seem more formal. (After the show's finale, it later then differed from @PearlQuarts,  to   @Svtfoo,  to what it currently is-  @TheAnimationGeek .)

I had various fanfictions and "OC's" for the Gravity Falls fandom, my most popular OC being Marcilyn Vega (From my fanfiction Wonders in the Workshop,) and Avalon Empire (From my fanfiction My Sweet Cure.) For a short time period around the beginning of 2017, some fans + mutuals and I tried to revive to OC side of the Instagram fandom in hopes of ressurrecting what was now an almost dead fandom

Gravity Falls and its Impact On Me
I've been watching Gravity Falls since it first aired, and I can assure you, not only has it brought me amazing memories, it's also inspired me and motivated me. From June 15, 2012, to February 15, 2016, this show has made me grow closer with my brothers, my parents, my friends, and it's large community of friendly fans. It has not only done all of that, but it's made me realize what I want to be when I'm older. This show has been one of the main sources for excitement and happiness for me since it began, and it was even my go-to during a super stressful time. Looking back at the memories I've made during the fandom, I'm very happy that out of all the shows I could've chosen to be part of a community for, that it was this one. The fandom is so friendly and welcoming and it's full of amazingly friendly and outgoing people, as well as talented and humorous. It's sad to see that after the finale, people seem to be disappearing from the fandom entirely. With the graphic novel coming out though, I'm hoping that maybe one day it'll be reborn, or maybe another show or comic will come along that is almost just as amazing and welcoming as this show is for me.

What Am I Into Now?
Although I miss Gravity Falls with a burning passion, my next firey love for a show has been claimed by a cartoon titled Star vs The Forces Of Evil. This show set many Gravity Falls and Wander Over Yonder fans in hype mode when it was announced. This was probably mostly because we all saw that this show had so much potential, and could be the next fandom to join after our shows ended. For me, I was right. I knew I'd enjoy this show right away, and even counted down the days till it'd be airing. I've been with this show since the beginning as well, but I do have to admit, I never considered myself a super dedicated fan until about June of 2016. Around that time, I'd realized that it was probably time to move on from Gravity Falls, and find something that sparked my interest. As much as I'm a Steven Universe fan, don't get me wrong, some of the people in the community are lovely, I just didn't want to get myself involved in the fandom anymore. I'm also into Eddsworld, Undertale, Infinity Train, Voltron Legendary Defenders, Pokemon, Stranger Things, Little Witch Academia, Kyoukai No Kanata, YLIA, Riverdale, Gorillaz, MonsterKind, Weird Sisters, and a whole bunch more. Even musicals!

Star Vs The Forces Of Evil
I began my SVTFOE fandom journey OFFICIALLY on June 22nd, 2016. Long story short, I made an SVTFOE OC December 25th, 2015, but I left, only to come back officially the next summer. The first character being an alien girl named Violet, then the next being my most known- Saile. Saile is an eclectic witch trying to focus on her studying in California with her mentor Allenore. There's many more SVTFOE oc's like Lark, Pluto, Flora, Juniper, Easton, etc. But those are memories worth looking back at later on. Ever since I've officially joined the community, I've gained a gathering of about 500 people in all. I've made amazing and close friends because of this fandom, and I couldn't ask for better. It's no Gravity Falls fandom, but it's definitely worth joining. I have a(n) SVTFOE-based account, where I post strictly only SVTFOE things, as well as theories and edits and much more. I've only had the account for 2 weeks- And made it in my utter excitement for Battle For Mewni- but since, I've made 200 followers who actually get inspired by me. It's crazy unbelievable to think that people look up to me and the content I produce, as well as what I do. There are people dm'ing me and telling me that I'm their idol, and it's the most astounding thing to me. Never in my life would I have thought myself to be anyone's inspiration- Nevertheless their idol. I've even made some pals since I began the account, and I've also gotten to talk to and get to know some of the people I look up to. People like Aisha, Krista, Ella, Liz, Soph, Sam, Lisa, Riley, etc. It's amazing what can happen, and I really do love it here in the SVTFOE fandom. Many people are super sweet, and I mean- Of course, it has its ups and downs, but what fandom doesn't? I feel happy here, and I suppose that's all that really matters in the end.

Animation
I'm always asked about what I want to be when I'm older, and uh... Quite frankly, I don't exactly know yet. I only have a few more years of high school till I graduate- Which feels pretty odd to me, but that's not the point. I do, although, have a good idea of what I feel suits me best. I've always wanted to be a screenplay writer or a director, but now that I realize my love and passion towards cartoons and comic, I feel like I should combine my love for film, art, and story telling, and maybe look into becoming a storyboard artist or animator. My life long dream is to leave a positive impact on this world, and making people experience that same happy and excited feeling I get when watching my shows, that would make me the happiest human alive. Maybe one day I'll achieve that dream, but for now, I'll stick to my comics and doodles.

Writing
As the daughter of an author, I'm bound to have creativity in me somewhere. I've always loved reading and writing, growing up, and I still strongly do! I'm very passionate about the content I create and put out there for my fans, and last summer I ended up creating my most successful piece of content I've ever created. (You know, besides that Youtube video I made that has 11,085 views.) This piece of content was a fanfiction published on Wattpad for my audience to read. I didn't expect it to get much attention, and in fact assumed it'd stay between me and the best friend I always showed it to. She was my number one fan at the time, reading all the chapters and supporting me. I noticed that views started rocketing over the passing months, and more people encouraged me to write a second book to it. So I did. February 2017 I began the second book in my fanfiction's series. It is currently still a work in progress, but I do have a weekly schedule so my audience doesn't have to constantly be on edge, wondering when the next chapter will come out. Will it be tomorrow? Next month? NEXT YEAR? No, next Friday! Chapters always come out on Fridays, unless otherwise announced. At the time being, the fanfictions have about 6,767 reads altogether, and many super supportive fans and friends.Without the huge amount of support and encouragement that I got, I don't think I would've realized how much I actually genuinely enjoy producing my writing for others to read.

All in All
In the end, I'm still about as weird as I can get. If you'd like to see more from me, be sure to check out my Instagram @Svtfoo, and my tapastic @novva.
