Year long meme

[shadowhive]

So as promised/threatened in the last post here’s the first of a few posts intended over the next few days (how much will be done will depend on how distracted I get and the Animal Crossing update is live so…). (And I need to reply to comments on old posts too)

I saw yarnofaridne post this year long meme which is from changeling72 here. So here’s me answering the January ones so far.

1. What are you most looking forward to in 2026?

I’m sure I’m missing things but these are the first that come to mind,

Films: Cold Storage, The Mandalorian And Grogu, The Odyssey
Games: Pokémon Pokopia, Hyrule Warriors (it came out last year I know but I’ve not got it yet), Resident Evil
Gigs: 5 Seconds Of Summer, Waterparks (when I order it)
Tv: Seven Dials, Ahsoka (assuming season 2 is out this year)

Also the new Doctor Who Collection (season 21) is coming in a few months. And there’s the standard stuff (free comic book day, Halloween).

2. What are you least looking forward to in 2026?

I’m waiting on hospital appointments for scans which I’m not a fan of. Hopefully it’ll just be a one off thing but the waiting and prospect of being in there all day is stressful.

3. What are your holiday/vacation plans for 2026?

I don’t have any planned and likely won’t have any. I’ve not had a vacation of any kind in so long.

4. Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, will you come back as another person, or another animal entirely?

Ohh interesting question. I’m not sure, maybe? It’s an interesting concept and I think it is possible but I’m not sure about it. I dunno if I’d want to come back as a person (then again would it be a choice?) I’d probably prefer to be some sort of animal.

5. Do you enjoy watching or participating in sport? If so, what sporting event are you most looking forward to in 2026?

Oh no I’m not a sportsball person. I definitely don’t participate, I always hated PE at school. The only time I watch any is when the Olympics and Paralympics is on. Other than that the closest I’m gonna get is Heated Rivalry and I don’t think I’ll learn much about ice hockey.

6. What colour do you think most suits you? Does you partner/family/friends agree?

Purple is my fav colour but it’s not often that there’s much in purple so most of my clothes are black. I wish I had more purple or colourful stuff. One of my fav recent clothing purchases was a stranger things sweater in bright red and that’s nice and cosy and bright.

7. What are your worst and best traits?

I’m not sure what my best are. I try and be caring and kind, I can be creative.

Worst, having bad focus, indecisiveness, shyness, I can get prone to anger or frustration. How I look and sound.

8. Whom do you take after most - your mother or father?

That’s hard to answer since I have no reference for my father.

9. Do you have any siblings? If yes, are you close to them?

I have at least one half brother, but other than that I dunno. Maybe I have a lot more of them but who knows?I sure don’t.

10. Tell us about your earliest memory.

Mum went out to do something and I was left with my grandparents. I, however wanted to go with her. Somehow I got out of the house and was found by someone and taken to the police, but I was told not to talk to strangers and so didn’t say anything. (Obviously I ended up back home but that’s the extent of my memory of it)

11. Whom do you miss the most (for whatever reason they are absent from your life)?

My nan, she was the member of the family I was closest to. It hurt so much that her last years were spent in a care home due to developing Alzheimer's. That’s a fate I don’t wish on anyone, either having it yourself or seeing someone you love suffer from it. I’m glad she’s not suffering anymore but I miss her.

I also miss other people that have left but most of them turned out to be toxic and awful to various degrees. My brain, of course, does fixate on them at times which… sucks.

12. Do you have a passport? If so, when did you last use it and where did you go?

I do but it’s probably out of date. I think the last time I used one for travel was to Cyprus but I could be wrong.

13. If a black cat crosses your path, do you consider it lucky or unlucky?

Lucky! Cats are always good and friends🖤

14. What was the most recent movie you saw at the cinema? Do you recommend it?

Anaconda, thoughts here, but yea would recommend it.

I’ll probably do these in batches (instead of daily) but not this many, but who knows?

Here, have a lucky black cat:



Her name's Guinevere, she lives round the corner from me and is the most affectionate cat ever. She likes to sit on her garden fence to get fusses from passers by.

Being a cat might be an ideal one for reincarnation.
