Tell me your hobbies!

[riftintime]

Over quarantine I got back into drawing, although I haven't in a while since I've been busy with school (I have winter break next week though >:) ). I've been playing dappervolk, chicken smoothie, and among us (+ watching streams on youtube/twitch) and reading. Most of the books I've read recently were for school, but I reread the percy jackson series and I'm currently trying to read the rest of rick riordan's books. I also got into a couple new musicals during quarantine :0

I've been a die-hard Pokemon fan since third grade, and it's been my longest-running special interest. I also love to draw (here's my DA!) and write songs. I play the ukulele and guitar but can't read music that well. I'm into worldbuilding (as you can tell from my signature) and linguistics. One interest that I've picked up in quarantine, which I'm now MAJORLY obsessed with, is the Lojban language...I'm in awe of how simple yet intricate its grammar is, and how beautiful its words sound!! Lojban now rivals Pokemon as my most invested interest right now. I just can't get enough of it. If any of y'all speak Lojban, or would like to learn, hit me up!

Drawing and writing. I haven't really drawn anything in about 15 years... life changes, family, and then online gaming pulled me away. It's a little depressing to know how much I loved it and just dropped it. So working on getting that back this year. I don't charge due to slow motivation and being easily distracted.

I have been a fish hobbyist for about 6 years now. I keep fresh water fish (different types), small shrimp, and lots of plants.

Life is busy, we all need our distractions.

I've recently gotten really into playing Webkinz. I'm obsessed with it. I'm also really into reading.

[kidd-cant-grow-up]

I have a lot of hobbies like watching tv, video games or making kandi but recently I'm mainly reading, writing and drawing I'm currently reading a horror book by my favorite author
Since I'm posting my writing and drawings on chicken smoothie it's gotten me to be motivated to do more

[KingSpinosaurus]

Drawing, fossil hunting, reading any psychology research, reading in general

[Catsplat18]

Reading, writing, birdwatching, insect collecting/pinning/framing, vulture culture, researching, and snowboarding (only one more month until I can do it again!!). I also consider myself a member of the herp and invert hobby, although I only have two reptiles and three species of arthropod at the moment. In the future, I would love to get into archery, taxidermy, cooking, horseback riding (too expensive right now), homesteading (not old enough yet), and of course get more pets.

I used to be really into drawing but I took such a long hiatus that I'm really unconfident now. I always used paper and pencil and did realistic sketches, which is extremely difficult to merge with colors and digital art, especially when you don't know how Procreate works. I feel very disheartened. I want to be able to make digital art that I'm proud of, but I don't even know where to start.

Hoo boy, where do I start? I'm big into video games, notably Minecraft, Core Keeper, and Don't Starve Together.

I love designing and working on my websites (linked in my sig!); I have a main personal site, a spin-off Halloween-centric site, and an Invader Zim site that I'm especially proud of.

I draw a little but I'm not very good; I do try to participate in art challenges from time to time to improve my skills. This year was my first Art Fight!

I have a ton of OCs (my toyhouse is in my sig as well lol). I both create my own and enjoy adopting neat designs I come across, and have quite a few of both. Developing their backstories, personalities, styles, and profiles is really a hobby unto itself! It's also about the closest I come to fiction writing anymore (I was once extremely prolific in fanfiction but I hit a writer's block one day years ago and it's never quite gone away since!).

I raise plants and various invertebrates, including isopods and 'sea monkeys' (brine shrimp)! I love terrariums and am planning to build one for one of my species of isopods. I have most of what I need, it's just a matter of actually doing it, lol. I also used to raise betta fish and would love to get back into that eventually (it's just so expensive to get everything to start it right!).

I collect a ton of stuff, including plushies (I love Squishmallows especially!!), rainbow anything, hedgehog stuff, stationary and stickers, and little glass vials filled with tiny souvenirs (i.e. beach sand, a bit of debris from a major storm, a tiny clay figure of an Easter bunny, etc.)--I keep these on a string so I don't lose them. Oh and digitally, I collect all manner of 'adopts' like the ones here, lol.

I have two YouTube channels, though both are inactive at the moment: my main is just my "whatever" channel where I throw like fandom stuff on. I might do gaming on it eventually. The second channel is Itty Bitty Beasties, and it's my hobby channel for my invertebrates. The intention with that one is to document my funky little pets, including Sea Monkey kits and any weird knock-off Sea Monkey kits I can find!

Oh, and I love baking (especially quick breads like zucchini or banana bread) and am learning to enjoy cooking actual meals as well! I'm overdue for making my chicken enchiladas, now I think of it.


Edit: Oh and feel free to strike up a conversation with me about literally any of this stuff, I love babbling about my passions!

... or making kandi ...

I've always wanted to get into making kandi but I never have gotten around to it. I love it a lot though!

.. I only have two reptiles and three species of arthropod at the moment. ...[/size]

Ooh, what species, if you don't mind my asking? I keep isopods, but I really want to also get into millipedes and jumping spiders. And I have a big fascination with itty bitty crustacean types as well (like brine shrimp, fairy shrimp, I want Thai micro crabs eventually, etc).
