Tag Game Roundup #1

Since @reblogsbymellpen was kind enough to tag me in several things over the past few weeks (thank you so much, and I'm sorry that I'm only getting to them now!), I figured that instead of doing separate posts for each tag game, for efficiency's sake I'd just respond to them all together. So, without further ado, here we go ...

Which of these seven characters is your favorite?

Jessica Fletcher (Murder, She Wrote)

Andy Dufresne (The Shawshank Redemption)

Ellen Ripley (Alien franchise)

Captain America/Steve Rogers (MCU)

Mrs. Lucy Muir (The Ghost and Mrs. Muir)

Linus Van Pelt (Peanuts)

Kira (The Dark Crystal)

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

last book: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg

last song: "Over the Rainbow (Live)" by Martina McBride

last movie: The Secret Garden (1993)

last series: Wings

salty or sweet: Definitely sweet, but tending toward the subtle side. I've likely said this before, but dark chocolate is my ideal balance. That being said, if given the choice between a salty snack or a sweet one, I'm going for the sweet option, no matter how sugary :)

coffee or tea: I usually have one cup of coffee in the morning, sweetened with some honey to take away the bitter edge and enough half-and-half to give it a light brown color. However, if I could only have one or the other for the rest of my life, I'm certainly going with tea ;) I could drink that all day and not get tired of it, and there are so many different variations and pretty names! And I love a good cup of Sleepytime tea at night when I'm winding down.

working on: An "Anne of Green Gables" cross-stitch pattern that I started years ago and just now dug back out of my WIP pile! It's probably about halfway done, and I'm determined to actually finish it this time and not get distracted by other shiny new projects that catch my eye. Also, not sure when I'll get started on it, but I'm in the planning phase of a crocheting or knitting baby blanket for my new niece or nephew that'll be born sometime in November (yay!)

(I just discovered that apparently you can only have one poll per post, so I'll make another post with the second poll. And if you're reading this, definitely consider yourself tagged and have fun!)

See, what's gone wrong is that we all stopped watching Hogan's Heroes, that's all.

I forgot about the speech every boy needs to hear in Secondhand Lions so it hit me like a ton of bricks

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. 🍂

- Anne of Green Gables

Anne Shirley illustration for all the fall vibes 🤭

I’ve been really liking this new mixed media approach with my recent artworks. The line art is done traditionally with pencil on paper, and then I import it to procreate to add the color wash!

A Wrinkle in Time

I know this is a very niche fanart 😅 This has been my favorite book since I was 13. I related to Meg Murry so much, between her personality and her unmanageable wavy mousy brown hair lol.

Now as an adult I’m finally reading the rest of the series!

woke up a little emotional about how God made day and night and the sky and the sea and dry ground and plants bearing seeds according to their kind and lights in the vault of the sky as signs to mark sacred times and days and years and birds to fill the sky and all manner of teeming creatures to fill the seas and beasts to cover the earth and creep upon it and man in his own image. it's so beautiful and for what? just because?

[fictionadventurer]

I have to take this opportunity to mention that Secondhand Lions is still a fantastic movie.

[youngestthunderbird]

You are legally required to mention at EVERY opportunity that Secondhand Lions is still a fantastic movie.
