I am philosophical, queer, whimsical, methodical, anarchic, secretive, honest, analytical, neurodivergent, slightly creepy, needlessly verbose, overly anxious and self-aware, and unfortunately passive-aggressive. I am non-binary, determined partly due to how much joy I took in other tropers being unable to confidently agree on my gender, and accept "it" or "they" as appropriate. Somewhere at the intersection of new weird, magical realism, science fiction, and analog horror is my favourite genre. I post art and writing to Tumblr and DeviantArt under the deliberately-vague description of "night shapes", which encompasses worldbuilding, surreal and body horror, cute nonsense, and pretty people. I am a shifting thing of smoke in a cage of bones and flesh, a rubber-band-ball of neuroses, a crystalline void whose facets refract light into named identities, and even, very occasionally, a person.

This page is a relic of an earlier time of TV Tropes formatting and I can't be bothered to rewrite it. I thought it was a funny idea at the time, but I suppose it's come out somewhat poorly.

As I tend to have a lot of ideas that I thought were funny at the time but come out somewhat poorly, it shall remain in place, and use this space for clarifying notes.[[note]][[spoiler: And at the rate this page is going, this opinion will probably only increase. But don't worry! [[HouseOfLeaves There is no Minotaur here!]][[/note]] [[color:white:^_^]] ]]

I am philosophical, whimsical, artistic, geeky, methodical, pedantic, secretive, confusing, honest, analytical, bibliophibian, slightly creepy, overly anxious and self-aware, and rather passive-aggressive. I consider complexity the measure of good art, intention and action the measure of good deeds, and a well-placed pun or reference the pinnacle of good humor. The general consensus seems to be that I am male and possibly British. I write and draw stuff that I might be too embarrassed to show you, I like forthright arguments and corn muffins (and [[CutenessOverload wug!]]), and dislike thoughtlessness and Walt Whitman. In short, I am rather similar to this page: nonsensically elaborate and incomprehensibly confusing.

Does that make things any better, I hope? [[Series/DoctorWho Molto bene!]] [[VideoGame/StarControlII Very *squishy* to meet you]]! Please see [[Quotes/{{Noaqiyeum}} here]], if you think I said something particularly clever; and [[TroperWall/{{Noaqiyeum}} here]], if you would like to desecrate the page with tropes, commentary, or salutatory remarks!

Oh, and it's pronounced ''No-AWK-ee-yoom''.
