Can never hear the song My Favourite Things normally ever again because my brain keeps automatically replacing the lyrics with the xkcd Ea-nasir complaint version

🙤 Enjoyable Things 🙧Rules: List five things you enjoy and pass it along!

Tagged by @shivunin and @demandthedoodles, thank you very much!! (I am an indecisive ass so limiting myself to five is... a struggle) (also am I the only one that started singing Favourite Things from Sound of Music...?)

Food. I know it will sound stereotypical as an Italian, but eating something I like gives me so much joy. I love eating and quite like cooking, even if I'm lazy. I am a vegetarian with a lactose intolerance, so I end up eating vegan most often, and I'm currently having lots of fun in trying indian recipes which are naturally vegan (or easily so substituting ghee/butter with oil)! This Baingan Bharta recipe by cooking with Manali is something that always gives me so much joy, paired with some jeera pulao!

The sea/going swimming. I don't live close to the sea unfortunately, but I spent quite a lot of time in my youth. I can dive (used to reach 10m with no oxygen back then, now I'm terribly out of shape) and I LOVE snorkeling and seeing the fishes, and when I'll be rich I'll go diving in a cage to see some sharks from up close. All marine life gives me so much joy (the jellyfishes are so pretty! From a distance).

Medieval and Contemporary History. In case you were wondering, I love history and knowing more about it, but I'm very selective when it comes to remember it. The Middle Ages and the first half of the XX century (up until the Moon landing) are my favourite periods. Oh and also Ancient Greece. LOVE Ancient Greece (with all its flaws). I love love LOVE museums. And strolling around Medieval buildings is just!!! AAAAH! The older the better, I LOVE gothic cathedrals, and those old castles! And Oooooh I'm not the biggest graveyard fan but Irish graveyards? I'd be there sketching every day, I visited some when I was there and they were so peaceful. I love trying to read the inscriptions, and they lack the baroque kitsch that I never like. (Ireland is another thing that gives me joy, I wasn't there for enough but every time it was just... Bring me back please)

Sketchbooks. I am a art supplies hoarder, but sketchbooks are the one thing I like the most. I don't go outside without one in my purse, the fact that you have a book to be filled with what you want is just HHHHHHHHHHH so nice, it gives me so much joy. I tend to be a perfectionist, but I'm slowly trying to get rid of it and just... Do it for sketches, who cares if they're ugly.

I love to glimpse of personality in art. For both books and paintings, sculptures, movies, comics... I just love when you look at some form of art and realise the little quirks, what the author didn't like to do, or what they just love. Tolkien going on for two pages to list plants in the Ithilien because he just loved greeneries. Pushkin being overly enthusiastic about feet (Pushkin was the biggest feet fetishist... And you can't hate it for it because the way he uses words...! AAAW.). Michelangelo that was perfect but couldn't bother to paint or sculpt women because he never saw a pair of boobs in his life. It's not highlighting mistakes, it's just... I think it makes authors human, and that much closer to us. What I don't miss about the academic field is this aura of sacrality about classic authors that's... Boring. I just love to spot these little things and remind myself that big ass authors/painter/artists were just humans like you and me, with all their flaws and all the things they didn't really know how to do... but did anyway. You don't need to be perfect if MICHELANGELO can allow mistakes, no?

One more: anything Tolkien. There's just something so soothing about his writing and the way he shapes stories. I know the Silmarillion is heavy but... Consider reading his shorter books. Tree and Leaf is something that always moves me to tears, and please please do yourself a favour and read his children literature. "Roverandom" is a tale he invented for his son Christopher, to soothe him when he lost his favourite toy at the beach. He invented the story of that toy, a dog, to explain to the child that oh no don't worry your toy dog, Rover, was actually a real dog turned into a toy by a wizard, he didn't get lost, he just got home! He loved you very much but he had to return a real dog you see! You helped him find his way back!

... sorry I had to include another, hope you don't mind. :P

And HELLO new followers I'm Arja and when they distributed synthetical abilities I was trying to pet a doggo.

(also doggos gives me so much joy. If the day is grey and a doggo by the street sniffs my hand and lick me or let me pet them, the day is instantly saved.)

[starsweepers]

i can't credit the artist because it was from YEARS ago ( literally like ten at least ), and i deleted the blog i got this on so i don't remember the url and there's no name or the like on it because i was given this as a secret santa.

basically, before i ever tried rping on tumblr, i was a httyd personal blog. i had a joke blog called like incorrecthttyd too, but i sadly deleted that, as well. and i joined a secret santa snoggletog addition and this was one of the gifts i got.

wanted to share it because it's still so cute and wonderful and i hope whoever made it for me is doing well in life.

Favorite Things: Charlie, Emily, & Angel

-Sitting in the Heaven Liasson Office in Hell-

Emily: Thank you for letting me make up my inappropriate behavior the other day, Charlie.

Charlie: (ice-cream and rainbow sprinkles smeared all over her face as she shovels another pint and shake container down her gullet) All is forgiven! *bite-gulp!* Do you happen to know where Vaggie's sweat rag went? She's been looking for it.

Emily: (blushes and tucks her travel bag further under the table and bites her lips closed to avoid her horrible lying skills) Mmmm-mmmm...

Charlie: Oh, well, I'm sure it'll turn up eventually. That and her hair scrunchie... and her wrist wraps.... and-

Emily: I'm quite sure they'll turn up! (glances at the third chair) But, I'm surprised you didn't bring Vaggie with you. Who is this?

Angel: (scrolling on his phone, bored out of his mind) Name's Angel Dust. How you doin'?

Charlie: This is Angel. From the council meeting. Remember?

Emily: Right! Well, it's a pleasure to meet you in person, Angel.

Angel: Uh-huh....

Charlie: Well! Let's get to it! Should we start with-

Phone: Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up with strings. These are a few of my favorite things.

Charlie, Emily, and Angel: (Check their phones simultaneously)

Charlie: That's me, guys. I'll be right back. Vaggie's calling. (answers phone and walks away) Hey, babe! I'm at the meeting. Is something wrong? .......What do you mean your deodorant is missing?

Emily: .........

Angel: .........

Emily: (starts humming "Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music")

Angel: I don't do girls, but will seriously blow you underneath this table right now if you promise not to say a fuckin' word about that being my ringtone for Husk.

Emily: (hikes her legs up, holds her knees to her chest, and squeaks) No, thank you! I promise not to tell regardless!
