🌱 Seedling: What is something you want to begin learning? (Asked by @ravandfriendsxiv)

I’d like to be able to cook an actual meal for someone one day. Feeding yourself with ADHD tends to mean eating a lot of ready-made “processed” foods, or at least it does in my case. Cooking multiple things to be ready at the same time seems a long way off though.

🧵 Thread: What is a recent creative project that you are proud of? (Asked by @raynshyu)

"Creative project" is a bit of a stretch, but I was quite chuffed with how well my silly Twelve Days of Starlight idea worked out in December. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🥛 Milk: What is a food you find comforting when you are sad?  (Asked by @shadesofblades)

Custard Creams!

🐝 Bee: What is a video game that you find comforting? (Asked by @raynshyu)

Last Campfire.

🍯 Honey: What is one thing you like about yourself?

🐓 Chicken: What is a comfort movie/show for you?

🌲  Pine: Do you prefer the cold, or the heat?

(Asked by @herno-zeph)

I can think of plenty of things that I don't like... Something I like though... I’m quite considerate? Maybe? 🤔

Comfort show. I watch a lot of retro cartoons, like Scooby Doo (seriously how does Thelma have so many uncles?) or Dangermouse. It’s probably something I should be more embarrassed about than I am.

orchid ... what's a song you consider to be perfect?

the trapeze swinger by iron and wine. ten minutes of perfection. i have not stopped listening to this song since i was a preteen, recommended by a college-aged friend at the time. it means something entirely different to me every year since. to quote one dr spencer reid, ‘those musical experiences imprint on us. later on in life we might experiment with other musical selections, but no music ever impacts us as much as that which we listen to at age fourteen.’

i love that boygenius literally wrote a whole song about the experience of listening to this song bc yeah. same.

I love some gentle asks, thank you! 😊

1) Best meal - one of my fave restaurants, grilled scallops and shrimp in a lemon/butter sauce with garlic mashed potatoes. Yum!

2) Not exactly. I tune the radio to what my daughter wants to hear and heard some good bops but nothing that would pull me back into following the music scene like I did as a younger person. We're currently listening to the Hamilton soundtrack a lot because she got to watch it and loved it (so did I).

3) Fave purchase?? We've been so casual at work with the pandemic that I've not bought anything exciting as far as clothes or shoes go in a long while. But I am LOVING my new laptop!

4) My husband is the sweetest about back rubs. Since we got our dog, who is wonderful but really exuberant, I'm having more back pain.

5) I got up early to make my son sausage balls because he loves them and wasn't feeling good today.

7) It's a tie between the kids and my dog. My husband, bless him, sure tries though.

This is my first time making these, but please, enjoy!

A.k.a the opening theme to Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle

Gentle – One Shot

To be honest, that’s not her priority right away. 

She’s handling a lot after the incident. Her and Bucky are adjusting their relationship. Y/N is learning a whole new part of Bucky. 

Her first thought is not, “I need to learn how to protect myself and I need to lear now!”

Before she met Bucky, she was nowhere near the world of superheroes or even the military. She’s just a normal young woman. 

Thank you! 💖 Well, I think my younger self would be quite proud of the goals I achieved recently, such as studying at a real comics school, having my drawing in a Queen music video, been noticed by both Brian and Roger (evenn if just a little) and having met so many new friends and people who support me. And I'm sure she'd be surprised to find out I'm currently playing DnD with my friends hahahh

Anyway I feel like I was overall happier last year, 2020 is being rough on so many levels...
