Thank you so much to @theleavesoflorien and @shiremaiden for tagging me in all of these <3 <3 I AM SO SORRY about how overdue all of these are (exam season this year is over a month and a half long and actually cut through christmas and new year’s sighh) and so i’ve just done a huge mashup tag-game post
1) rules: share your 12 favourite songs from this year (one from each month or just your favourites overall)
(i couldn’t find one per month but here are the ones i did find! these are the songs i listened to and liked the most each month)
january: i took the dust of a long sleepless night and i put it in your little shoe
(the boxer - simon and garfunkel // one of us cannot be wrong - leonard cohen)
february: and i’ll sing you to sleep, and i’ll sing you tomorrow
(sleepsong - secret garden)
march: - n/a (didn’t listen to much from march to april unfortunately)
may: the lost and forgotten
(god help the outcasts - hunchbach of the notre dame)
june: so she took her love, far to gaze a while, upon the fields of barley
(fields of gold - peter hollens & tyler ward & lindsey stirling)
july: you can’t escape forever, mistaking smoke for heaven’s light

(where does the good go - sleeping at last)

(bird song: the fugitive kind - kenyon hopkins)
2) @thesleeplessartist (sorry this has been sitting in my ask for ages):- list 5 things that make you happy
i’ve interpreted this as thing things, so like objects/experiences, tangible or intangible
i) i love the smell of rain
ii) books !!! lord of the rings. tennessee williams. william faulkner. virginia woolf.
iii) the feeling you get when you’re laughing too hard to breathe, usually over something completely ridiculous (and really not that funny)
iv) string lights/fairy lights, indoors or outside
v) this strange blue website where i come to scream into the void
3) Choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) @theleavesoflorien i haven’t really made any fanworks this year (i’ve actually never made a graphic though i really want to try sometime) so i’m listing a bunch of works from other people i really liked instead!!
these are all based on the recent works i’ve tagged as a favorite so it’s missing a ton of lovely work but here goes:
