[shadowhive]

Challenge #1

Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.
Creative Prompt: Shine a light on your own creativity. Create anything you want (an image, an icon, a story, a poem, or a craft) and share it with your community.. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So it’s the first challenge of the sunshine revival so I’m gonna try and do it (and I hope it goes well!)

But damn it’s July already? That’s crazy honestly.

So what’re my goals/plans for this month? Well here’s some things I wanna do.

*Look into sorting out Uni
*Continue watching Hell Motel (there’s 5 more eps this month)
*Finish Dredge’s main story
*Finish reading Cards On The Table and hopefully started Crooked House (and maybe read something else)
*Cinema: Jurassic World Rebirth, Fantastic Four First Steps
*Finish Stranger Things season 4
*Finish reading the Acolyte visual guide
*Finish a fic (unsure which one, I have so many WIPs and keep adding more)
*Get back to the American Horror Story Asylum run
*Watch the rest of the new Phineas And Ferb eps
*Maybe start Ironheart and/or Wednesday

I feel I am missing something really obvious (though I always do feel that way)

There’s no real plans for the rest of the year really. There’s a James Marriott gig in November and Pokémon ZA in October but I think that’s all that’s definite.

As for creative vibes I’ve been too drained from this heatwave to do anything creative (though I did make two Clown In A Cornfield icons the other day, one I’ve used for this post. It’s too bad I’ve not found a good pic of the big damnn kiss from it though).

I did have to head out to get car food (it thankfully cooled down enough to venture outside) and I popped in the charity shop and got these.



I saw the Egyptian picture when we went past it the other week (it was closed at the time) and I had meant to go back but couldn’t due to the heat. Then I went inside and saw there was a Sophie Hannah Poirot book I’d not read (and an Agatha Raisin book). The whole lot was £2 which feels like a crazy bargain, especially since one of the books was a hardcover.

I end with this pic of my kitty Midna who is as very much done with this heat as I am.

your cat is so cute and i really recommend crooked house!

[shadowhive]

Thank you! She’s so sweet but she’s so absolutely done from this heat (as are my other cat and pupper). I’m looking forward to reading it (I’ve been doing the readchristie challenge but fell behind slightly), I remember seeing a film version a year or two back so I’m curious how it compares
