hey! Hope you're doing well, love ur blog sm it gives me life

Wanted to ask, do you think the guys have some hobbie? Would they be more likely to introduce their hobby to their S/O or could it be the other way around (the S/O easily introducing them into a hobby)? Thanks beforehand!

OOhhh this is a fun one, sorry it took so long to get back to ya btw. Giving u a big hug. Bit of a long post so sit tight and enjoy!

Kazuma Kiryu

Is working out a hobby? Seriously though, he likes working out and fishing. Not very likely to introduce his hobby to you unless you already express interest in it but is down to try whatever hobby you have as long as it's not something too crazy like climbing Mt. Everest.

Majima Goro

Honestly, he likes singing. It doesn't even have to be public, like karaoke. A lot of the time, you'll find him coming up with his own jingle by himself, minding his own business. Definitely more easily influenced by his S/O's hobbies than the other way around.

Saejima Taiga

Generally speaking, he's an outdoorsman. Likes hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting. Would love to do a camping trip with you but only if you want. Equally likely to introduce a hobby of his to you as you might introduce one to him.

Akiyama Shun

If taking a nap was a hobby, he would say that's his favorite activity. In reality, he has no particular favorite hobby but he does spend a lot of free time doing volunteer work for the homeless. Honestly, whatever your hobby is, he's down to try since he doesn't have one of his own to really offer you.

Tanimura Masayoshi

He likes learning how to cook and bake. That or trying the newest and weirdest flavor of snack he can find. Generally a really explorative guy and will try just about anyting you suggest.

Ryuji Goda

Has a particular interest in traditional ceremonies, especially tea ceremonies. Just fond of tea brewing in general. Also has an interest in coffee brewing but that's more out of him needing caffeine in the morning than an actual love for coffee, unlike his genuine love of tea. Would never force a hobby on you. Also not likely to be influenced himself; he barely has time for the one hobby he does have.

Nishikiyama Akira

To put it simply, he likes learning about pretty things. Like expanding his knowledge of fashion and jewelry, more so in how its made or where certain fabrics come from. Also kind of interested in gemstones and minerals but can never remember all the names. It's more of a passing fancy for him, sort of like knowing random trivia or facts, so he doesn't take it too seriously.

Daigo Dojima

If he ever DOES get the time to indulge in a hobby, it's typically something artistic. He would never go so far as to say he has any talent but he's tried his hand at piano and painting. For when he doesn't have time, you'll catch him folding tiny origami cranes at his desk. Actually pretty good at doing that but he never knows what to do with them when he's done.

Mine Yoshitaka

Does a lot of kickboxing and boxing when he's by himself. Will neither try to influence you with his hobbies nor is he easily influenced by your hobbies. Mostly just lovingly and curiously watches you while you're invested in your hobbies; he's more interested in observing than participating.

Tatsuo Shinada

Is baseball too obvious for him? Even if it is, it's the truth. Most of the time, you'll catch him doing something baseball related because that's most of what he knows and it's fairly affordable. Passing interest in photography too but only just in passing.

Ichiban Kasuga

Likes riding a bike or going fishing. Going on walks is also a good option for him. More likely to be influenced by his S/O's hobbies than the other way around. Always down to try something new, for better or for worse.

Yu Nanba

He doesn't personally consider this a hobby but he's actually quite skilled at sewing! Maybe it's just a natural extension of knowing how to do stitches as a nurse. Also more likely to try a hobby because of his S/O than influence their hobbies himself.

Adachi Koichi

Likes reading true crime novels and learning about cars. He doesn't own a car himself but he likes to learn about vintage models or go to car shows if he can. Neither hobbies are particularly serious for him though and more of a passing interest. Will try just about any hobby you present to him but be warned, he can be a little clumsy.

Tianyou Zhao

He spends almost all of his down time exploring something food related. Loves to come up with his own recipes and experimenting with old recipes. Also does a fair bit of tai chi on his days off. Just be aware, if you're dating, you ARE going to be his taste tester.

Joon-Gi Han

It sounds funny but he likes to read or watch random shit for the hell of it. Watches lots of video essays and then spits out everything he learned from it like a fountain. Also really good at making little model airplanes and figurines, although he kind of forgets to clean up after himself sometimes.

Hello. I do not know if your request are open, but if they are could you please write courting headcanons for upper 1.2.3 like you did before? If yaou do not want it is okay (sorry. English is not my first language)

Requests are always open, I just might take a while in some. Don't worry, if anyone wants me to right anything as long as it follows the rules of the blog, I will. I did promise to do this if anyone wanted so to this I will add Gyokko and Nakime, so:

Traditional Courting [more or less], Demon Male Reader. (Also no sexual content).

First part here.

Warnings: Cannibalism, Human death, Mentioned suicide, Trauma(?) dumping, angst (why the fuck I can't write Akaza without angst?)

Kokushibou:

You first asked him for permission to court Kokushibou, he only told you to get out of his sight. You did.

A few months later Nakime summoned you into meeting him again in the Infinity Castle. You were told you would be, not only courting Kokushibou, but staying with him to search the family that leads the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki.[Muzan got tired of Kokushibou not finding anything and started to relate it to him just not searching at all, so you are there to remind him and motivate him to do so.]

Kokushibou was not very happy with these news,offended that a man wanted to court him and give him the traditional women's role, but accepted gracefully the orders. At first, he only ever ignored you, but you slowly, very slowly, managed to spot what would awake his attention as you both searched through all Japan (it gave you more time the fact uou disn't know how to recognize the Ubuyashiki he send you after and Kokushibou seemed to get lost in his mind more often than not). But even after he was not the one to start a conversation, he prefered to spend time in quietness and quiescence. He barely eats, barely does anything other than meditate and practice his breathing forms. It's like he's more a slayer than a demon, but you don't mind.

Kokushibou just doesn't take anything you offer he doesn't like, and it takes you months to figure out his taste in gifts and food. Turns out he likes handicrafts, not buyed or stolen, but actually made from the one who gives the gift, not caring for quality of the product, but for the effort. You found out since he had a small and horribly done bamboo flute with a clean cut in his robes, when you tried to make another flute he also kept it. "It's.... I feel like you care. The fact that you did it yourself... It's personal." So you use rocks, paper, bamboo, clothing, wood and other things you find and steal to try and make jewelry, fans, karakuri boxes, origami and so. He always takes them, even the ones that are made poorly.

As for the food, again, he barely eats, but you only have ever seen him eat swordsmen, mostly samurais, but it's like everytime they are harder to find [the samurai class was abolished at 1868]. You decide to motivate him into trying new meals, he doesn't eat old men nor slayers, but you later find out he didn't even like the taste of the samurai "I don't know why, but it feels right for them to die by a demon." You did find a new favorite, buddhist monks, the closer to the Nirvana the better.

He doesn't like to be called anything other than his name, and he prefers the use of honorifics. He is also not kin in starting physical contact, but with time he starts accepting your approaches. Most of the time he just likes to sit down and listen you talk or having you hughing him in silence. There are times he starts conversation, he talks a lot in those, being more a monologue than anything else.

"I only want to become the best. Become more than... but it doesn't matter anymore. Right now you want to become part of my life, you wanted that so badly you went to Muzan-sama for it, and for some reason he decided to grant you what you wanted. I don't understand what he saw in you, but... your presence is now something important. Just make sure to always be behind me, reaching for me, and I will always be near to accept you." Honestly, he always speaks so cryptically you gave up in the meaning bahind of what he says, he never explains it. But you try your best to be understanding.

You spend hour days moving and searching, everytime you act more like a nomad married couple, but you never get a ceremony. Kokushibou would only like something 100% traditional and samurai cultured [just like his human marriage was], but with the timeline, you both being male, you both being demons, none of you having families, money or knowing your ancestors, it's just impossible.

"I don't mind if we stay like this forever, just you and I." He whispers against your embrace one day. This is still good, after all.

Douma:

When you asked Douma permission to court him, he was already taking you him for you to get the blessing. Douma was very interest in what you had to offer, but to be fair, he genuinely though he would kill you or you would cower down, but none of them happened. Once you asked for the blessing he only looked at you both with anger and disgust, and the second his eyes where focused on you only, you could sense a mix of indignation, confusion, pity, disappointment and indecision. At the end he only sighs and told you to get lost and that he is not dealing with it. "Oh, well. He didn't say no. I guess we are courting now, aren't we?" And that is how started.

Douma has a hard time not being the center of attention, so the traditional female role suits him just fine. He likes how often you go to his place and always invites you to stay over. He is very kin in petnames, but to your surprise he likes also more feminine ones, and doesn't mind being called "Princess" or other nicknames specifically adressed for women. "Being called princess feels nice, it's a very pretty way to call someone in a golden cage, stuck in a throne they were born to sit it. I would just adore it if you called me that."

Douma is always way too honest with you, sometimes dumping into you informations and expreriences that are actually traumatizing but he doesn't seem to care. He also likes when you validate his feeling, even the ones he doesn't actually feel. Other times he wants you to go against him, only for the sake that he can do anything he wants and nobody would stop him. You wonder if that is how he expresses freedom, since he already told you he has been all his life inside this cult as a if he was a living Buddha statue.

He is ok with any gift, every gift. No matter what you get him, he never shows preference. There was only two gifts that definetely managed to get through him. Those two you gave him in a desperate attempt for him to show any type of reaction for what you gave him instead of a "Oh, lovely. I will save them in the warehouse so nothing happens to them." It was a broken nichirin blade (now looking like a knife) and wisteria poison the same user of said blade had with them. Douma always carries them with him. "My mother killed my father with a knife, and then she poisoned herself. It was my first encounter with death, these gifts make me nostalgic. My heart never beat so fast before that and I remember wanting to leave but not being able to move. Is that what disgust feels like?" Should you regret giving him that?

It's well known Douma eats woman like a drunk drinks alcohol, so you thought his favorite meal is something that could only be found in a female human body, like the uterus, breast, ovaries, fetuses, unborn babies, placenta or something like that. To your surprise, he likes to eat the heart the most, still full of blood, hopefully, since it's an organ very mild-tasting, but tender. He likes any healthy heart, and getting those is rather easy. He also sometimes likes to eat human food, only for the sake of being able to eat anything he feels like and the sickness it brings. "You would be a good husband, taking care of me like now when I do something fun but stupid. You would stay with me forever after our marriage, wouldn't you?"

In the end, after a year of courting, he sends his followers to prepare the wedding under your guiding, he isn't really part of the process and makes no effort to be so. You end up as his consort inside his cult, the marriage is a peaceful one, but you still try every day to try and make Douma feel hapiness. Still trying. At least you had a great ceremony, expensive and big, with everyone of Douma's followers watching with joy. After the ceremony Douma picked a cult member that fitted the best in your taste and shared him with you. "Now, as a part of me, you should be able to give eternal life to this people, inside of you. Living forever just as they wished from the start, now witnesses of our beautiful love story."

(Also, Douma tried to invite Akaza to the wedding, it didn't work.)

Akaza:

You asked Akaza permission first, he stays paralyzed for straight ten minutes, lost hin his mind with a disturbed face. His first reaction, after he shakes his head, is to tell you you would need his blessing. At first he denies you, but before you manage to leave he tells you he changed his mind. That Akaza is very hardworking and deserves to be spoiled a bit, so you better make him feel good. [Muzan did want to give you to Akaza as a reward, but also as something that would motivate him to get even stronger and work even harder.] "I didn't expect him to... forget it. Just don't get in my way, we need to look for a damn blue spider lily or whatever."

It takes him a while to warm up to you, but even before that he gets protective and doesn't let you out of his sight. He doesn't even care for the fact you are a man, just that you are there and safe. He also seems to like when you call him a certain pet name "my Komainu", you call him because of how protective he is, sometimes you call him "Haku" as it's shorter. He seems both sad and happy at the same time when you do. He even has told you he likes it more than his own name, for some reason.

He is bad taking gifts, for some reason he always worries too much about the price or starts to fret if they were stolen. "Just sto doing that! It's not like I need anything, it's just some stuff. You are only causing trouble, running around and stealing like that will only make you lose your hands! And he will kill himself!" Sometimes he says things that don't make sense even to himself, but he worries a lot. Still, you know he likes pink and snowflake patterns. So you try to make your own gifts with those traits, he keeps everything close, tidi and clean.

Akaza is very vocal in not eating women, small children (he can eat teens), nor sick people. While he likes to kill weak and coward people, he is not fond on eating them. He likes to eat slayers and swordsmen, so it's a bit hard for you to get the meals he likes without dying at the process, but you manage. He is a very messy eater, he destroys more of the body than he eats, but spends a good time doing so. It's like he hates the food, likes the taste and, as any other demon, loves to eat. Still, he prefers relying on training than in eating.

"You are not a bad guy yourself, thank you for... taking care of me. Taking me in." You train with him amd try to adapt to his eating paterns, in result, you get stronger. No way near to an Upper Moon level, and definetely not as fast and efficient as eating woman would be, but you are very strong. Plus, you manage to catch a Marechi with the traits Akaza likes twice or thrice in the courting years, which helped. "You are every day stronger and helthier, make sure to take care of yourself. I will still protect you, but don't do anything stupid."

You spent five years courting him, Akaza was very hesitant on accepting to marry you. "It's not that I don't love you, Y/N. I would love to be your husband, that you vould be my husband but... but you will die! I don't know why or how but you will die amd it will be my fault! I won't be able to protect you!" He rambles, clearly distressed, the first time you ask him, you have to embrace him and cuddle him for around a week. It takes a lot of time, but you manage to reassure him everything will be ok.

You both prepare the wedding, slowly, very slowly, even with the limited resources. You make sure to listen what he wants. A ceremony on winter, under the snow, with fireworks at the end, at an specific town, a small event, and then to go home. He gets scared and needs a pause for every preparation you make and item you steal, but you don't mind waiting. You managed to fool a young buddhist to marry you both, it was a beautiful ceremony. Akaza cried during it, then spend the rest of the month cuddling and crying with you. "Please don't die, don't die. I beg you, stay with me. Don't die, don't fucking die on me. Please."

You keep taking care of him after you get married, and he stills hugs you everytime as if you would die the moment he lets you go. Sooner or later he will realize nothing will happen to you, but for now you must be ready to comfort him and calm him down.

(Also, the second Douma found out Akaza was married and he wasn't invited, he decided to make a second wedding by himself ans his followers, forced you into it so he could be in it.)

Nakime:

How did you even get here? Like, again? The second you asked permission to court her she threw you out of the Infinity Castle, only to bring you back with her and him in less than a day later. Guess what, you've got the permission, the blessing and even an order from him. How? Why? No idea. [Yes idea. Have you seen Nakime's blood art? Also the fact she dislikes men in general and Muzan, who may disguise as much as he wants but is still a HE, forces her to welcome them in her home? She is too important to lose, so your job is to make like you enough so if she wants to rebel he can have something on her that would not kill her.] But who are you to say no to him, even with Nakime glaring dagger towards you.

The first weeks everytime you try to speak to her she sends you somewhere else. You are lucky that because of his orders, she doesn't throw you at the sun or starve you. It takes you a year for her to stop toying around with you.

Even before that you were getting her gifts and food. You did the basics, get her biwa strings and other materials sl she can take care of the instrument. [She doesn't really need them since her biwa is part of her blood art, it maintain itself, but she liked the gesture and the attention]. She also likes kimono's, she kept most of what you got her, some of them were not of her liking, but besides that, the feeling of filling a wardrobe made feel wealthy, but you have seen her wearing them. She is not a person of jewelry, but she kept a few of the ones you got her, mostly the ones for her hair. Every once in a while you find with one of those with part of her hair pulled up.

Her diet are mostly men, drunk men to be more clear. It's a weird taste since the slcohol tends to ruin the blood, and it's even more weird that she actually likes the lungs and vocal cords, but you don't comment on it. You had to ask him for this information since you never once saw her eat before you.

"I appreciate the gifts." It was the first time she said to you two years after you asked permission to court her. She was never the one to hold long conversations, and you were not the exception, but she did like to play and sing for you. You always show interest in her music, and she likes the positive attention. She likes when you call her nicknames related to music. "Dear melody" "My artist" and "Beats" are names she react positively.

It took you three teats for her to finally accept you, but she was hesitant. "I do warn you, if you change your attitude and become a deadbeat husband I will confine you into an endless corridor of my domain for you to starve until you kill yourselve." You swear the besides singing you never heard her voice say so many things in less than hours of difference. She is serious.

Still, you let her handle the ceremony the way she liked it as you got the priest and another kimono for her. For your surprise, not only the halls were decorated, but he would assist as well with his favorite Uppermoons. Nakime was not as pleased with their presence, but she wanted him there on this special night.

It went well to both of you and you started to stay with her at her domain, you kept doing gestures for her and helped in everything you could. She is happy with that.

Gyokko:

You ask Gyokko permission first, he only allows it because, of course you are enamored by him! Who in their sane mind wouldn't? If you want to show appreciation, then who is he to deny you? He will let you court him, but warning. One mistake and you're out.

When you asked him for the blessing, he looked at you for seconds as if you said both the most stupid yet interesting question one could ask. After a few seconds he decided that it wasn't his business and told you to do as you pleased. Gyokko was a bit offended by this but there wasn't anything anyone could do.

As for gifts, Gyokko likes art in general, so you could get him pieces or material for his pots. He appreciates it very much, since you show attention to his interests. "Oh, Y/N! You've got such a good taste! I may consider you as a husband later on, such a beautiful pigments, and you say they are foreign! I don't care if you stole them or buyed them, but I would love if you got me~" And to your surprise, his favorite art collection is actually the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji fron Hokusai. "Stamping is, in my humble opinion as an artist, crass. But still, the motive is beautiful and has a very nice display of perspective." You get him the 46 prints.

Gyokko is very picky with his food, he only ever eats people with soft and tender skin and flesh, healthy organs, a clean body and a a face that's at least easy on the eyes. "Appearances help the appetite!" he explained the last point. But to be honest all of these traits together are easier to fing in young women and children, and he prefers the last one. Gyokko hates children, with his soul. Another dead child instantly makes his day better, so he gets very happy if you get him some to eat.

He hates nicknames, but he likes to use them. He also starts making you pots and sharing his food for you before the year ends, enamored by your accommodating attitude towards him. He also loves when you touch and massage his body, specially his scales in his last form. He loves that he is able to relax with you. "Oh, darling. Who would have though a beauty like me could fall for someone like you... no offense."

The moment you ask for his hand he jumps at the chance to design his own wedding, not letting you choose anything but still expecting you to help. Still, in arts and decoration he got good taste, so uou trust his judgement. It was a big event he filled with his summounings, javing the sits full. He made his sadistic art of joining men in a pot with some priests, who were the ones who married you.

"I bet you are very happy to be married to me, dear husband. You've got very lucky. I hope you keep amusing me as always~" It's good, he is still the center of attention. But you are both ok like that, besides you also keep getting presents from him and starts teaching you how to make pots. Also got you a grand honeymoon in the Tokashiki Island with his pots, in the Aharen beach, so no complaining.

[Keep him away from the children, please.]

Bonus: Gifts for the child

Kaigaku is still new at being a demon, he likes to collect things that remind him to his human life. Don't misunderstand, he is proud of his new strength and the fact he survived the Upper Moon One after just becoming a slayer, but he didn't ask to become a demon, it was just that the options were dying or that. He likes specially peach seeds, nichirin blades and cheap haoris. As for meals, he likes to eat young people, hopefully weak and male.

The ghoul’s hobbies - HC

Rain

The packs gamer, he loves to just chill and play his games. He also likes reading and usually listens to a book when he’s playing.

Sometimes he also sits and draws. Swiss has a picture of the pack in his room that Rain drew. Sometimes he’ll even make little comic books, but no one except Phantom knows that though. He read one to Phantom once when he was getting overwhelmed and phantom loved it so much Rain gave it to him and now phantom begs Rain to read all of them.

Swiss

Swiss takes a lot of photos with his polaroid camera so he has so many photos lying around in his room, it’s getting out of hand. That’s why he started making little photo albums. He finds it so relaxing to sit and put together all memories and make it look all cute and homemade

He is currently working on an album each for Phantom and Aurora. Its gonna be about their first year topside and all adventures they went on and all new things they learned about and got to try

Dew

Dew is amazing at origami. He loves it. He made phantom a fairy light with origami bats. He made one for Cumulus with little clouds and attached little beads in strings so it looks like it’s raining colorful drops

He likes sitting with a stack of paper while watching a movie. He tries to make the characters from the movie. He’s watched everyone’s favorite movies and given them the characters.

Phantom

He is OBSESSED with legos. He has some cool sets because he’s a little collector but what he really loves is his massive box with random lego pieces, he loves letting his imagination run wild and come up with his own creations.

He is especially good at building action figures and then making little stop motion clips. He did one about Mountain and a little reindeer once and Mountain still has the little figures on his dresser. Phantom is now working on one special clip for each individual in the pack and a big one about the pack together.

Mountain

Apart from gardening he enjoys carving wood in different shapes. He makes a lot of toys because there is no right or wrong way to do it and Phantom loves them.

He made everyone’s name tag for the bedroom doors and every sign is shaped and painted and decorated do match the ghoul living behind the door.

Cirrus

Cirrus makes stuff out of clay. She makes little mini foods. She has made like every single food in the whole world. Since there so small they are everywhere, in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom, even in papa’s office

She also likes making pots and bowls that Aurora can paint

Aurora

She loves to paint and make jewelry. She paints Cirrus’s works because Cirrus doesn’t really like painting. And she uses them to store all her jewelry stuff.

She loves making friendship bracelets out of pearls. Swiss of course has his wrists covered in bracelets that Aurora made

She also makes ear rings out of random things that she finds. Like she did one pair with the keys from a computer.

Cumulus

She likes to use her hands, like crocheting or sewing. Everyone in the pack has at least one stuffy that she made specifically for them.

She’s also amazing at baking. She puts all her love into her baking, the whole pack runs to the kitchen as soon as they hear the oven open.

Sorry to bother you again but have you done origami? If you haven't I'd love to see some origami from you!

Hi there! Yeah, it's alright. I like receiving asks/messages, tough it often takes a lot of time for me to reply. (Sorry for that.)

I already made some Origami, and I want to share once I feel able or motivated to photograph them.

(I find photographing Origami crafts veeery difficult.)

I made some modular Origami, and I also created a Shishabo cube with 12 irregular tetrahedron modules that a friend has shown me. (My friend created those modules, and we sometimes/often do Origami together.)

- - -- ---

My recent Origami craft was this stacked flower petal thingy

(It is an art object. But it can also be used as tiny sorting box for stuff like earrings, piercing jewelry or tiny crafting utensils.)

Top view:

(I added a hook made from wire. )

Bottom view:

(with a bead and wire at the center)

Three layers: (plus I attached two tiny red leather möbius strips, a blue origami link that my friend has given me and a tiny glass klein bottle below.)

Attached to furtherly add a second layer:

(white and pretty neon colors)

These are other "flower petal boxes" I made:

Making the modules is fun. I can also do it blindly. (Helpful if my eyes are very tired but I want a calmful activity to do.)

- - -- --- -----

I want to share some other origami soon. (I will tag it as "origami". )

Sidequest: The Viper Pit [snippet]

Batfamily Week 2023 day 5: Fantasy AU | Friendship/Team Bonding | “There’s more of you?!”

Summary

Duke buys a d20 from a mysterious pop-up shop, transforming an ordinary homebrew campaign into the beginning of We Are Robin’s next adventure.

Where were they?!

Panic filled Duke as he dismantled the couch cushions for the third time searching for his Wizards and Warlocks dice. His friends were gonna be here any minute and without the dice, there wouldn’t be a game and he would’ve spent eighteen hours writing his campaign for nothing.

He found another batarang under the sink, but no dice. Groaning, he tossed it onto the small pile accumulating in the hall.

Was it time to throw in the towel? He checked his watch. He couldn’t ask Bruce ‘cause he was out with Selina, or his siblings because they were busy, or even Alfred since he was out for the day. Too bad he wasn’t a Flash, otherwise he could sneakily buy some more time. And his only Flash friend (more like acquaintance) was Ace West, the Rube Goldberg of unintended consequences.

Duke texted his friends that he might be late and told them where the spare key was before hopping on his bike, the GPS pinpointing every game store in Bristol

…which were all closed, because it was almost 7:30.

In hindsight, he should’ve looked up their hours first. Then maybe he wouldn’t be screaming the fuck-word into a blue postal box after his fifth stop.

Did Wayne Enterprises have fifteen-minute delivery? Did they even have a gaming subdivision?

He briefly registered a text from Riko telling him they were there and that Dre would eat his food if he didn’t show. Sighing, Duke hopped on his bike and ran through his other options as he made his way back. Maybe he could fold origami ones? But that would take forever.

At one of the red lights, he spotted a cardboard sign pointing toward a garage sale. Furniture. Clothes. Games.

Everyone honked when he cut across two lanes. He shouted a quick apology and turned into a narrow alleyway with empty trash cans and shuttered windows. For a second, he thought he was in the wrong place, but another sign in the same font pointed to a slightly subterranean door with metal bars over the tiny window.

Was he about to enter a murder dungeon? For board game dice?

Sure, why not. Worst case scenario, Jason bakes him a Welcome To The Dead Robins Club cake.

The door swung open before he even knocked. He looked around for a motion sensor, but the place looked like the 1800s. A single bell rang as he stepped in.

“Hello? I’m here for the garage sale. Though this isn’t much of a garage.”

Walking through the maze of dimly lit shelves felt like writing in cursive for the first time. There were no signs or placards telling him where things were and nothing was grouped together. He found books with worn spines next to colorful glass orbs. An animal skull hung from the same rack as long robes and Renaissance-style dresses. He counted no less than a dozen candelabras scattered about. A cracked mirror stood against the wall. Wind chimes dangled from the ceiling, brushing the top of his head. Oh, and look, more orbs . Plus the dust itched his nose.

He pushed a jewelry box aside to look into the next aisle.

Suddenly: eyes.

Note

A skull faced wolf leaves a box of mix matched jewelry, origami, lighters, keys, and other shiny things on Harley's window. [Were werewolf doesn't know how to cheer people up. So he gives Shinies.]

*when I wake up, I notice the little trinkets. I immediately know who they are from. I love them, they make me feel at peace.*

Origami

I signed up for the origami workshop within this workshop we learned how to make a masu box and then a lid. We were taught how to change the size of the box while still using the same size paper. We then divided into teams and were given the task of creating a functional box to hold three biscuits in. The box had to be sustainable with as little waste as possible and protect the biscuits from damage. My group achieved this by putting on masu box inside another then placing shredded paper inside. The shredded paper acted as a very effective protective layer and also a functional use for a waste product. We then placed two lids over the box and decorated them with markers. Each group explained Their design to the rest and then the boxes were dropped from a height to test their functionality to assess if the biscuits remained intact after falling. Our protective layer of shredded paper meant that our biscuits didn't break. I found this concept of using a paper box to protect something very interesting as paper is not usually the material we think of when it comes to keeping something safe from breaking or being stolen. Due to my project looking at valuable objects I thought it would be interesting to make a safe out of paper in the same way you would have safe for valuable antiques, jewelry or artwork.

I've gotten asked by friends what I do offline, since I intentionally limit my screen time. It's easy for me to say I devote a lot of time to creative and meditative activities, but that's probably too vague. So I compiled a very short list of the top activities I like doing daily or every weekend. Many of these I was either trained in or dabbled in out of boredom. Remember, I existed waaay before the internet, so I needed to do something with my time. Heh...

God I've lived too long.

Writing: I write nearly every day for various reasons. Either basic journaling, keeping track of budgets, keeping a commonplace book, writing poetry, listing favorite books and what I think of them, travel journaling, lectio divina, testing out art supplies, cataloging my gem and mineral finds, and mood tracking. Because of this I have so many little notebooks and journals everywhere. Sure I could use a phone or word processor, but it's such a deeply rooted habit for me, plus I really enjoy the tactile feel of paper and pen.

Making tea and bath supplies: I use a lot of herbs for my basic health needs, a skill picked up from my grandmother. I like making rosewater and herb steams for my face, distilling oils from roses, brewing hibiscus into a concentrate for flavoring sparkling water, anddrying lavender for sachets. Herbal healing salves made from herbs and beeswax are a staple in my emergency kit when outdoors. I can make my own soaps as well, tailored to my skin's needs.

Making and mixing ink: Because I do write a lot, naturally I'm drawn to pretty inks. For mundane tings, a simple gel pen will do, but for special thing I go for my glass pens, but there's a satisfaction of making custom colors and even adding scents to them. I have a book filled with ink formulas to recreate my favorite blends.

Drying flowers: During the warmer season I love bunching up sweet smelling flowers, like honeysuckle, lavender, and greenthread, to hang in my room. The added bonus is that the flowers once dried, make a great tea. I also love pressing flowers to use on cards, in scrapbooking, or put between glass to make suncatcaters.

Making incense: Naturally since I work with herbs, I also love making incense. I like using hard sap I've collected from pine trees, but also sweet grass, juniper, star anise, cedar, ect. I powder them, add a binder, and either press them into a cone or pellet. Apart from burning them, I like to put them in small cloth bags to scent a drawer or in a box with stationery or even fabric pieces.

Grinding pigments and binders: There's a certain therapeutic process in grinding paint pigment to turn into paint or pastels, along with any binders like gum arabic and limestone. I tend to do this during the winter, when I'm snowed in. In the summer I'll have lots of material to use in dyes, inks, paints, soft or oil pastels, and even colored beeswax for encaustic art and crayons.

Sewing practical items: If a bedsheet is worn or stained, I'll repurpose it into handkerchiefs, napkins, and small bags for jewelry or other tiny things. Old jeans get turned into kitchen cleaning cloths. Its a treat to use fabric that I've put in a box with incense, I can make pincushions and coasters while smelling pine or rose petals. Related to this is tatting, a type of lace-making.

Leather work: Related to the above, I like working with leather to make practical long lasting outdoor gear, such as bags for my binoculars, a roll up kit for my chisels, as well as a secure case for my gem loupes. I've also made a journal cover out of leather, it uses an elastic in the center so I can switch out booklets when they're filled up or need to be moved around.

Jewelry: Basically beaded chokers and bracelets, macrame, and kumihimo. I like making them while listening to music or having a movie on in the background.

Mosaic: Mostly a summer activity, I have a lot of shells, glass, gems, and broken ceramic to create mosaics.

Other stuff I've experimented in: Origami, woodburning, glass etching, bonseki, soap making, cross stitch, embroidery, basket weaving, sun printing, henna, quilling, mushroom growing, terrariums, cultivating dinoflagellates (blue tide), growing crystals, gourd art, ceramics, clay and rock sculpture, calligraphy, stamp carving. Pretty sure there's stuff I've forgotten.

#Things I do when not online #A lot of it I cycle through based on interest or desire #I'll go through a whole week doing nothing but origami #Then start doing pottery #Then start making temari or something
