HI CY !!! <3 Thanks for sending! 💜💜

14. Favorite book you read this year?

I am going to be completely honest with you, 2023 was not a year for books for me I am afraid. I reread A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller for the nth time however! And a little bit of the Ascendancy books by Timothy Zahn!

As for fanfics however, there are few that stick out to me that I will link now. Fair warning, all but the first one are Sonic (because that Star War divorce is in full swing baby):

Luminara and Barriss by JediMasterBailey

absolutely stunning writing and grasp of characters! I am always in love with Bailey's writing and she never ceases to immerse a reader in deep. This one is incredible and I always find myself going back to it when I need a little cheering up! If you love the wonderful Luminous Lineage, this one is for you! the worldbuilding is insanely good and so is the dialogue (internal and external). Highly recc! (centred on Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee!!!)

What Was I Made For? by bitter_sweet_coffee

my most recent read and a wonderful one at that! they capture Wave and Espio down to a key and it's so heartfelt that you can really feel the love put into it! shorter than the last one but that doesn't take away from how much I love it. <3 (centred on Wave the Swallow and Espio the Chameleon!)

Learning & Teaching by SAJ_Man07

oh my GOD okay I am not normal about this at all. I did read it completely sleep deprived and emotional but I love this so much. the writing and characterisation is remarkable and they have a good love for the Babylon Rogues!!! This fic is constantly on my mind and I love it sm. I think it's one of those fics that change the way you think fundamentally. absolutely incredible would read again for the nth time <3 (centred on the babylon rogues ((namely storm and wave))

and lastly, Swept Away in Gentle Waters by melting_shards

this is so cute!!! I love it sm and I keep thinking back to it! The way they word and describe things is AAAGH and I am in love! It's expertly written and very light to read, would 100% recommend this! (centred on Kitsunami the Fennec and Miles 'Tails' Prower <3)

thank you sm for the ask and I hope you don't mind my slight derailment from the OG question! I wish I had more to say on that. Maybe 2024 will be my year for books, who knows 🤷‍♂️

OK HONESTLY ive had a good number of memorable meals this year !! some because they were good, some because they were so bad i will never forget them afjstjstj

thanksgiving i met with some friends for the first time so that counts!!

otherwise the night i made vegetarian lasagna so my sister could also have some while also making pretty drinks with that color-changing gin was GOOD. lasagna turned out very tasty and i had a lot to drink it was fun

Hi Cy! 💕 How have you been? Thank you so much for this question, it’s such a great one!

🌿 how does creating make you feel?

ahh this was fun to think about! Creating in general feels like it’s scratching a really good itch - I love the process of picturing something or an idea and figuring out a way to bring it to life, in any medium. Writing in particular feels like a puzzle - like, knowing a phrase or a vibe or a scene that I am interested in, and working out how to get all the elements together (dialogue and character and scenes) to a place where it makes sense. And that satisfaction when it does!

And then - if something I made happens to touch someone else, I feel so incredibly happy. 💖

hi cy thank you so much for stopping by to check on me and see how i'm doing, it literally means the whole world and then some to me <3333
