i wish i had the advice for you, it’s hard out there :( i try to comment on as many things as i can but i fear i’m always destined for the acquaintance-zone. i’m sure i’m missing half the fandom stuff by not being on discord but i have no idea how to use it lol

honestly, the thing about discord is it's only helpful if you're invited to the right server by the right friends who want you there and you're brave enough to talk enough to make friends in that exact place - it's like anywhere else, you still gotta luck into it a lot of the time. which makes it rough, it's so behind-closed-doors :(

I know you said it would be hard to make friends IRL but I actually think we are getting a lot more tolerant of “weird” interests as a society. Look for a local camera group or craft group or queer group or neurodivergent group and be your wonderful self.

i live in QLD in Australia and finding queer groups here is a bit perilous, but that's the ideal situation like. finding my community - neurodivergent, queer, crafty, fandomish - is very difficult because this place is absolutely inundated with aussie normies and i am very unaustralian in so many ways, i'm like a big square peg surrounded by a sea of round holes and i just don't want to cut myself down to size just to belong anymore

i also have no idea *how* to look for any of those things, either. i don't know where i'd even begin :(

Song Rec: The Calling by the Amazing Devil.

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

this song is six minutes long so I didn’t get all the way through BUT it is very pretty and I know when the mood is right (i.e. when I am actively doing nothing other than lying down and listening to songs) I will be able to enjoy the whole thing

For the potion asks; age-up potion, draught of living death and pepper-up potion.

Thank you!! (my goodness, you’re not fooling around, are you?!!)

Ageing Potion: imagine yourself 50-60 years from now. how would you like a typical day to go? where do you see yourself?

I mean, not to be morbid, but I don’t think I’ll be around in 50-60 years. Between that fact that in 50 years I’ll be close to triple digits, and my family’s health history, I don’t think it’s likely I’ll make it to 100! Not sure I really want to, actually!! BUT - should I somehow still be here, hopefully I’ll be kicking ass and taking names! (I don’t generally have a lot of Stuff about aging, but I will say, 45 hit me hard because I feel like 90 is a really nice goal and 45 gets you half-way there…)

Draught of Living Death: How would you like your funeral to go?

I want my funeral to be a HUGE party. I do think I want a funeral service of sorts, not for me but for the people who love me that I’ve left behind. I want there to be as much laughter as there are tears. I want people to tell stories about the ridiculous things I’ve done. I want there to be TONS of appetizers because I love them, and music and art and photos. Good wine. Lots of tea. Wonderful desserts. I want people to know who I was, in all my glorious and flawed humanity. 

Not to be too deep but I learned a HUGE amount from my dad as I walked his last months and especially his final week with him as he was dying. I want to live so that when it’s time for me to face death, I can do it with grace and courage and wonder.

Pepperup Potion: what makes you feel alive?

Anything that gets me out of my head and into my body and the world. So, today, kayaking with my son (I’m on vacation). Yesterday, exploring Old Montreal, eating poutine. In general: swimming. Yoga. Reading. Snorkeling in the Caribbean was a very nice peak flow experience. Sex (sometimes). Meditation. I’m not a huge adreneline junkie but the aftermath of an intense experience like skydiving (which I’ve done).  Music. Listening to glorious poets reading their own work. For me, it’s so much about choosing to let go of all the anxious noise in my head and focus on being here, now.

Okay as an Aussie I have to weigh into the whole chip sandwiches/chip rolls thing. They are amazing! I don’t know how or when we adopted them from you Brits but I’m so glad we did. Although, we call both fries and crisps “chips” so you end up with confusion over what type of chips you want. Usually designated “hot chips” and just “chips” are the cold packet kind. I really want a hot chip sandwich now argh

Chip sandwiches are GOOD
