thank you @carriehobbs for the template!! this is a GREAT idea and i had a lot of fun trying to come up with stuff- even if it was hard! especially trying to keep it reasonably accomplishable, and making sure it's got plenty of stuff that i need to remember i love doing, and want to keep doing through the new year!!
gold star items are Extra Challenges if i want to try and push myself- theres NO expectation to actually do all those but it would be fun! my fucking god do i want to finish shelter this year ghfhg BEFORE THE B4 RELEASE
and presiding over it all are my Patron Saint and Patron Bastard. Patron Saint Pannie to remind me to keep fucking struggling, wallow as needed but NEVER LOSE HOPE, and Patron Bastard Morag to remind me to complain as needed but get shit done.

I did a bingo card with all the things I want to do this year, some big and small
These are made by @carriehobbs !
Now in hindsight, I expect I'll have very few of these done by the end of the year but coming up with them was fun! and more or less alot of them have been on my mind
Also props to @mornynge for the Falk appreciation day/week idea! Can't say that will happen anytime soon (even this year) but it will be in the back of my mind until I do something akin to it!
Also for those who might not know Chalk is the ship name for my oc Cherise and Falk!
Tlou stands for The Last Of Us
This was very fun and I might be a little late, but I've been feeling positive going into 2026! Brainstorming for this took me a few days but it was worth it!
