Well it’s that time of year again, snowflake time! Yay!

Hi! I’m Stuie, I’m 34 and I’m currently a student at the open university (the current course is terrestrial ecosystems). Im from the uk and I’m currently in a poly relationship with my two loves, although they are far away which is annoying.

I’ve got a four pets, a poodle, two cats and a guinea pig, all girls.

I sometimes write, though I haven’t for awhile because my creativity has been a bit bleh. (Partly cause the world being on fire partly cause people being jerks). I’ve got a few WIP which I may get back to soon, most of which are for The Umbrella Academy.

My dreamwidth is mostly about rambles about what I do, though sometimes I post thoughts on things that I watch or game. I also post fic when I do them too.

Main fandoms: The Umbrella Academy, Bandom (despite that fading some), Star Wars, The Legend Of Zelda and Doctor Who.

I can be found here, on twitter as spookyhive and Shadowhive on Xbox, Switch and ao3.

I’m sure I’ve missed something really obvious, but that always happens with intros!

The past few days have been pretty lazy and uneventful, mostly watching tv and films in the day and then doing Assassins Creed Valhalla at night.

However we have had one important thing happen: snow! It’s the first snow for awhile and as such walking the pup has been a little tricky causa the ice under it. The first day it came was funny though. Leia, the kitty that likes going outside, avoided the snow like it was lava. She meowed so loud as she walked around the untouched bits.

I finally watched Wonder Woman cause it was on tv and... it was ok. I’m not really a D.C. person so wasn’t invested in her, and it gave me view of the first Captain America.

New Year was last night and it was pretty uneventful too. It was like it usually would be with us watching tv, though I did end up putting on Fantasia 2000 on after midnight. It’s not as memorable as the first alas, but the whales flying were cool. My main thing on new year was going on Animal Crossing for the celebrations.

The new Doctor Who is in a few hours, yay! And then the Taskmaster special too.

I hear you on struggling with creativity this year. I couldn't get anything written until I did NaNoWriMo again, and that helped unblock me some.

Question: What do people mean when they say "Bandom" as a collective like that? I've seen that a few times on the Snowflake Challenge and I feel like it must mean something different than just, these are the bands that I'm into.

I WANT SNOW. I WANT SNOW HERE SO BAD. One day, maybe in February or March. That's when we tend to get it around here.

I haven't done it in a while, but somehow it wasn't as daunting as I expected. Having a set word count each day helped me keep going. I do sometimes burn out, but it does help.

Oooh, so the Emo Collective. Gotcha.
