For the ask game: 3, 11, 16, 18, 20 💜
Aw thank you for asking! 🥰
3) What are you looking forward to right now?
Feels a bit cliche, but seeing what the next year brings! I know that life is going to bring some good things, with stuff already in the pipeline but having found the enjoyment for writing again this, year, I’m excited to see what ideas and stories I write.
11) What kind of music is stuck in your head a lot lately?
Having found time to game more but also needing music for commuting (thank you Nintendo Music app), I’ve really fallen back into the Pokemon soundtracks from the different games. They’ve become comfort and nostalgic, some I use for chill moments but I also enjoy driving or doing things to the battle music to energise.
Otherwise, I go through phases but a lot of J-pop or English covers and fan songs. (A lot in a sense changes based on what we’ve been watching.)
I’ll drop a few of the ones I’ve had on repeat recently below.
Pokemon Legends ZA - Corbeau Battle Theme (Fanmade Reimagined Cover)
Wish I knew its name but this cute, a Dipplinshipping song
Kieran’s Battle Theme with Lyrics - Juno Songs
The Teal Mask one too, was very helpful for writing my latest chapters. 🍎
GwGw - Kana-Boon (or most things Kana-Boon like Supernova and Starmaker)
Project Voltage has been fun too.
Safe to say, these are just a few but I find them and the Pokemon soundtracks so enjoyable. Maybe I need to branch back into English songs again but love hearing covers for the Japanese songs as they end up feeling really meaningful.
I have artists I enjoy in English too though, just need to add them back to my playlists and get energised with finding more I like again.
I won’t complain for recommendations as I’m otherwise not that knowledgable on arts and bands. Or celebs as a whole. Whoops! 😅
16) What's a piece of advice you would give to yourself five years ago?
Be less scared/anxious of change, and don’t get stuck in my ways by trying to stick with things to see if it gets better.
I changed my job in the end and feel better for the change, I’ve also tried things I never expected to enjoy and feel more fulfilled for it.
Sure, change can be scary but so far, they’ve been for the best.
I’ve made amazing friends, met some incredible people and can be myself more frequently. It’s been a good few years in that sense, even with some low moments too, but hopefully it keeps going well! 💖
18) Are you musical? Play any instruments or sing? Would you ever perform for an audience?
I wish I was, I do appreciate music and the arts as a whole, but outside of car karaoke for one, I’ve not really learned to play anything or sing properly. Part of me would love to play an instrument, even if just to understand music better but I’ve yet to get around to learning what we’ve got at home.
Maybe one day but for now I’ll keep enjoying other people’s talents.
20) What do you wish someone would ask you?
Hard to know as I’m never good with asking things, never sure what to ask unless prompted or find ideas though conversation.
I’d probably just open my door and offer time where I could, my asks are open.
I’ve genuinely been enjoying getting to know new people in the community. 💖
