❄️COC 2023 Wrap Up🍂

Hello everyone!  

The Carry On Countdown of 2023 has sadly come to an end. We hope that everyone who participated had a wonderful time. The admins sure had a blast feasting on all of the fabulous content from this year's countdown.

We hope everyone will remain inspired to create even more fantastic Carry On related content into the new year.

But before we say goodbye to you all, it’s time to welcome new people onto the Page of Honour!

What you need to do to get your place on the Page of Honour:

You need to have completed all 30 COC 2023 prompts on their set days (If you posted a prompt within a day or so of its set posting date that’s perfectly fine, but, for example, if you posted a prompt for Day 8 on Day 11, that’s a bit too late)

You need to DM @carryonmylovelies ​with an explanation/link of where to find all of the work you posted for this year’s countdown (Can be simply saying what tag everything is under on your blog, or a link to your ao3, etc.)

You’ll also need to let @carryonmylovelies​ know whether you want your blog or another platform where you posted your content (such as ao3 or instagram) linked on the Page of Honour. You can only choose one.

We hope we made this clear, and please remember our ask box is always open for any questions you may have :)

We wish everyone who celebrates a very happy holidays, and we hope everyone will have a terrific 2024.

With lots and lots of love,

The admins of the 2023 Carry On Countdown ❄💘

question: how did you discover/get into scooby doo?

this is something i'm always so interested to hear, being that there are few people who don't have at least some small tie to the franchise. whether you would consider it one of your biggest current interests or it's just something nostalgic from your childhood, i'd love to know how you found scooby and what it means to you!

Help Me Decide My Next Rimworld Story

I've been thinking about this for ages now, and I've narrowed it down to the two ideas I most want to try. I'll probably end up doing both of them one day, but I wanted to see which one you guys would like to see first!

Here are my ideas:

A nomadic eldritch cult that wanders the planet searching for the crashed ship from the "Ship to the Stars" quest, and also they eat people sometimes

OR

A misanthropic mechinator who believes in mechanoid supremacy and transhumanism, and who is seeking to awaken the archonexus

I'd very much like to hear what people think!

I've got so many ideas for both scenarios, and I'm having trouble choosing which to do, so I'll do the one that wins the poll! Feedback is welcome.

Thank you for your input! <3

Happy two months to the RWRB movie.

I don't have much to say that I haven't already except for this movie, from the moment I watched the trailer, has made me the happiest I've been in a long, long time, and continues to be the light in my life that makes everything a bit brighter and better.

I love everything and everyone involved in making the movie such a wonderful experience with all my heart, which includes the fan community here too, so thank you guys as well

❤️🤍💙

i LOOVE shows that come out weekly i love the waiting i love the excitement i love the delayed gratification of knowing what happens next that keeps my interest in the show alive and helps me appreciate the smaller minutiae and not just letting it all become a big blur passing you by and every episode feels fresh and exciting because you had to wait a bit for it and you appreciate every moment of it more i love cliffhangers i love getting to enjoy something for 8 to 10 weeks instead of 3 days IM SO SERIOUS WHEN I SAY DEATH to binge watching and shows made to be streamed one after the other im so serious

Our downstairs-and-to-the-side neighbor just sold his condo last month and idk if he had remaining repairs to do, or he’s just doing some personal projects before he leaves, but he’s been using a circular saw on and off since 10am and I’m so done lol. He uses it for like 5-10 mins, then stops for 15-20, then repeats. Like please just figure out how much wood you need and cut it all and then stop, why are we doing this in batches.

6, 10 & 29? :)

HELLOOO

6 - 3 nice things about myself, non-physical and physical. i'll do three each! since i'm trying to be nicer to myself!

physical:

- i got glasses the other day and i think they look adorable, i love how they look on me

- i think my eyes are my prettiest facial feature, they're blue and quite round and i like how i do my eye makeup too (rose pink eyeshadow + small black eyeliner makes them stand out nicely and that's usually what people compliment :])

- i generally like my body shape. i'm working out more too and seeing myself become more flexible and toned is actually really satisfying

non-physical:

- i always try and include everyone in conversation or ask them what they were going to say if they were cut off since i know what it feels like to be excluded/feel like youre the tag-along in a friend group, or be nervous to join in

- i'm good at a range of subjects and tasks and i'm good at picking new things up quickly: new hobby every week core

- i'm a pessimist at heart but i try and make light of situations, since i know that also picks other people up (my mum always makes the worst out of things and it drags my mood down a lot so i try and be as forgiving and optimistic as possible - honestly, a lot of bad situations can be made funny with the right people and mindset. obviously sometimes frustration is warranted and unavoidable, but there's almost always a way out! having it start raining and immediately hear someone complaining for 10 minutes is kinda unecessary imo. enjoy yourself!! its fine!!)

10 - something i'm excited for

well, my friend and i are planning to go on a road trip up to scotland or somewhere similar once we get our drivers licenses and go sight-seeing! we were thinking february next year but we're still deciding

im also gonna try and bake some bread, so im happy for that :] i already bake a lot so i figured id try. also watching stuff rise is fun

29 - morning, afternoon or night

this depends heavily, but for me i stay up at night cause i want to avoid the next day and its the one of the only times its quiet, and the afternoon is a weird spot for me. i'm not really a morning person but i appreciate the morning? the sun's rising and there's still time and everything's peaceful for a little while. so i think morning.

thank you for the ask!! <33

not to be cheesy but i love sports so fucking much. i think it’s the coolest thing in the world how much it bonds the most random types of people in their joy/sadness/whatever. you’re all sharing a genuinely universal experience as you watch unfathomable athletic feats. it’s just sick.

[notmoreflippingelves]

Every year, I tell myself that I should really consider taking off work for Father Brown premiere day, and then it comes around and I forget to do it, and I spend all day thinking about how I would so much rather be sitting cozy under a million blankets and going back to Kembleford than being forced to do boring work things.

I snapped today at work, and by snapped I mean I politely commented on a help desk ticket by summing up an mess of an (type of) issue that's come up for at least the fourth time in the 2+ months I've been managing user accounts, and asked the person responsible to fix it (himself for once) because last time I fixed his mess-up it took me two whole days to work out the details with at least four other colleagues from different departments and I really don't want to do it again. there's other shit that needs doing, I've been working 10+ hour days for most of this week already, so I need to cut down not add on more.

(good thing tho - at least we managed to fix the issue where the dataset of a newer employee got mixed up with another one of the same name and therefore wasn't able to apply for any of the access/accounts she needed. technically not entirely my area but it does impact us not being allowed to create an account for her so I figured I might as well track that issue down. took three days and at least three other people, but hey - it should all work out now. yay for that)

[mars-ipan]

it’s weird being in recovery after like 2 months of sickness and looking forward to being able to do all the little things you used to take for granted again

[jamietarttsnorthernattitude]

The last day at work when you won’t be back for two weeks is stressfullllllllllll.

[twinknote]

my psych: any thoughts of hurting yourself or others?

me, having desperately desired the sweet release of death for the past week and literally fantasized about committing acts of violence just hours before our appointment: nope

[inniave]

surgery is scheduled for friday morning. it's worse than we thought :/ but the doctor seemed confident she can do it. we just have to make it through this week. we're so close. so close.
