So I saw this got posted just before I slept last night, and I wasn’t sure what I’d set. I know a few snowflakes back I set a fic related thing but I don’t think I could do that again. And I couldn’t think of anything super specific today either. So I’m just gonna do two general things.
1: The next fic or art that you see and enjoy, leave a comment (even if it’s an old one). As a fic writer comments give me joy, even if it’s just a short one. This is especially true now, with the world being… insane and so people need joy.
2: In that spirit, share something that brings you joy in a comment here. Or something that you’ve liked. Or even just pics of cute things.
I just think that the world is so messed up like now, that people are low due to the pandemic and fandom nastiness has been at an all time high, that people need joy and kindness. I think that’s super important.
In that spirit here’s some things that have bought me joy/that I’ve enjoyed the past few days.
Archive 81: I’ve ended up watching the Netflix series over the course of a week, which is very quick for me. I definitely recommend it if you like spooky mysteries.
Book Of Boba Fett: I’ve been enjoying the series so far. I’ve loved how interlinked the recent series are, which shows that it’s all happening in one universe. I’ve squeed so hard seeing stuff from the prequels, comics, clone wars and games show up this season.
DreamSMP: There’s been a bit of lore this week (Wilbur’s dramatic reading, chaos with George’s dream, last night with Eret coming back and being so pretty and then tonight’s a big one)so I’ve now become so invested.
ESO: There was a reveal stream Thursday with this years content for Elder Scrolls Online. This year it’s set in the High Isles which is an area that’s not been in games before. It’s all Medieval style and I’m glad it’s not gonna be another daedric thing and there’s actual peace talks. (And I didn’t know Bretons were hybrids of Mer/men.) it was also pretty cool they did a preview of the elder scrolls Naryu loot crate which includes a hoodie which looks cool
Pokémon Legends: Pokémon Legends came yesterday, in a box thats so big I thought it was the delayed elder scrolls loot crate. It took awhile to get going and it’s taking some getting used to (I still accidentally throw pokeballs and lose them) but I am enjoying it so far. It also helps there’s hot guys.
Streams: There’s been a lot of recent streams that have bought joy, especially last night which I’ll cover in a bit.
I feel I’m missing something. I’d take pics of the pup/kitties but they’re hiding.
I also wanna say, though I have before. That it’s really sucky that my head has been so fuzzy this month and so I’ve not been able to get as engaged or involved in snowflake as I usually would. I keep meaning to but just…
***
The wind storm has hit here and it hasn’t been too bad… cept when we went out and a branch feel from a tree in front of us. This wasn’t just a few small twigs, it was almost as long as I am tall. Thankfully it didn’t hurt anyone but if we’d been a little fast?
Yesterday was stressful, in part because of uni assessment (though I did make some progress) but also because mum had a scam letter come through the post, read it and panicked. And thus tried to start an arguement and stress out. Even when I told her it was a scam. It was just… ugh.
Thankfully she calmed down and I was able to start Pokemon and then dozed a little bit.
The package turned up yesterday to which was a discounted Lego Mario set. The Lego Mario sets are really odd to me. I don’t really like the gameplay element, but the character models are cut and some of the features work well. This one has a sump bro on a tower, which shakes when you press the levers. I don’t wanna shake it too much but it’s nice to make it gently sway.
My intention for last night and this weekend was to do some of these things:
*Watch Who ray special features
*Check out Vox Machina
*Watch Underwater (since I’d been curious about it and saw it got added to uk Disney+ this week)
Alas I did none of those things. I watched some of foolish’s stream because he was doing an escape run challenge with Punz, Badboyhalo and someone I wasn’t familiar with…. But then Tommy went live via Ranboo. Turns out his move to Brighton hasn’t gone well, the temporary apartment he was gonna stay in has a boiler issue but they only told him what it was after he’d took his stuff in there: that it was a carbon monoxide leak. Which is just… why let him take all his stuff in before telling him that? So he stayed at Wilbur’s and was on the library computer (because his computer, and laptop were in the apartment and he can’t get them out). And I just feel so sorry for him. It all sounds like a disaster. Kudos to Ranboo helping and being a voice of reason.
And then Eret decided to do a brief lore stream. I’d not seen Eret stream before so I wanted to and… Unf. They have curls and just a deep voice and he is just so…. Plus they have a big fluffy kitty! Who was adorable.
And then quackity went live doing blindfolded cooking. Which was… an experience. Karl and Sapnap were ‘helping’ him by giving him instructions, but as neither were physically there and were relying on two cameras… yeah it went pretty badly. But it was also hilarious with their ridiculous flirting and Sapnap being cute and caring for him while Karl was being chaotic. And it was just so…
Then Sapnap went live, not doing Valorant for once, and that was fun. He looked cute on his facecam. Though I missed some due to it becoming late and needing a shower. He had the new valentines merch on which is cute, but I like the flaming heart more so I might have to try and get that since the sio gig is put back.
It then switched to Karl’s for a brief stream with karaoke which was so cute.
So tonight there’s gonna be (at least) three streams. Techno’s lore stream with Tubbo and Eret as they go after Sam (never trust a Sam is what I say). Then there’s Dream doing an interview with the mysterious Manatreed. Then there’s Karl doing a non-canon tales of smp stream (I should watch the one it’s based on but I don’t think I have the time). So yeah today is gonna be a lot.
Hopefully tomorrow I can watch at least one of those things, but we’ll see. (I really wish people had some sort of schedule. Only a few tend to and most are random.)

Date: 2022-01-29 04:15 pm (UTC)I 'have' Boba Fett, but I haven't seen any of the eps yet.
Okay, things that bring me joy. My great-niece and nephew. My cat and dogs. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Joe and Nicky (The Old Guard). Buck and Eddie (9-1-1). Sunflowers. (Surprise! *g*) Fuzzy socks (like the pair I'm wearing right now. We may not be getting the amount of snow they're getting farther east, but it's still only 9(F) right now). (I've been thinking about socks because the 'funny saying' at a local fire department is 'If every day is a gift, today is socks.' And I felt insulted on behalf of my aloe and fuzzy socks, lol!)

Those are good things! Miss Fisher is definitely so awesome. Heee awww of course!

Date: 2022-01-29 05:23 pm (UTC)Snowflake is so low pressure I wouldn't give a second thought to not interacting as much as usual. You can always catch up later if you're in the right mood.
Love both of your challenges ♥
For things that bring me joy, here's a photo of Milo getting up close and personal earlier today.

Date: 2022-01-30 05:54 pm (UTC)It has adders, so we don't walk there often in adder season, but this time of year, it's great (especially when it's been dry like recently so it's not just a mudfest)

Date: 2022-01-30 10:41 pm (UTC)Ohh wow!

Date: 2022-01-30 12:46 am (UTC)I hope your pup and kitties are relaxing after their very hard days! I imagine that they've been working hard and doing absolutely nothing naughty! (Please give them smooches when you see them!)
What brings me joy are my cats. They may leave fur everywhere and throw up in places that are A+ Very Difficult to Reach, but their companionship is irreplaceable.
And parents and scams... I feel ya lol. Stay safe with your wind storm and try not to stress too much about your assessment!

Date: 2022-01-30 01:43 pm (UTC)Awww the kitties have been mostly good, just been curled up dozing. But the pup… last night she bit through one of her unicorn toys and the stuffing was everywhere! And awww of course
Awwww kitties sure are strange like that! But they can be so sweet
Yeah it’s very… ugh. The storm seems to have passed now thankfully but we’ll see. And aww thanks, my mind has been so fuzzy lately which is so annoying

Date: 2022-01-30 10:43 pm (UTC)Ohh I’ve seen some ads of it on tv!
no subject
Date: 2022-01-30 10:06 pm (UTC)And a lot of laughs out of the irreverent humor in collected and printed essays in the book Black Nerd Problems. There's a lot of serious stuff, too, but the laughs are really great.

Date: 2022-01-31 07:13 pm (UTC)What brings me joy right now is the glorious sunshine we had today and watching all the birds gathering at my feeders. The nuthatches are particularly adorable and so are the bluetits.
I'm glad to hear you too have escaped the storm unharmed. Though having a big branch fall so close sounds really scary! We survived the storm unharmed too - it seems to have passed mostly to the north of us.
