The Christmas Tag

 Hello! Since it's December now, I thought it'd be the perfect time to do this tag that I found on Loren's blog. 

-The Rules
-Thank the person who nominated you [I wasn't really nominated but thanks Loren!]
-add the picture in your blog
-Answer the ten questions
-Tag at least three other bloggers [I tag Quinley, Skye, and Hailey]
-Add a link to the original post [here's the link]
The Questions
What's your favorite thing about Christmas?
Probably the lights and decorations. I love decorating the Christmas tree and looking at all the pretty lights. Christmas movies are nice, too.
What's your favorite Christmas memory?
Taking a walk with my family and looking at all the Christmas lights in our neighborhood when I was maybe 7 or 8. Also, watching Home Alone for the first time when I was around the same age. And also posing with the Christmas decorations in store windows when I was a little older [maybe 10 or 11].
Are there special traditions your family has for Christmas?
-Watching Polar Express and eating junk food on Christmas Eve. 
-Decorating the tree the day after Thanksgiving
-Also, we used to listen to Christmas music on the way back home from Thanksgiving dinner, but we don't really travel for Thanksgiving anymore, so we don't really do that.
-I have my own tradition of reading by the Christmas tree.
What's on your Christmas wish list?
Books, art supplies [mostly Posca pens], a board game, merch from my favorite YouTuber, and a few toy-related things.
What's your favorite Christmas decoration? 
Probably the lights, but there are a few nice Christmas tree ornaments that I love, too. 
What's your favorite Christmas song? 
The Glee version of Baby It's Cold Outside. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and I'll Be Home for Christmas are also favorites of mine. 
Favorite Christmas movie?
So many! Die Hard, Home Alone and Elf are probably my top three. Also, most people may not consider it a Christmas movie, but I adore Edward Scissorhands. 
Where do you usually celebrate Christmas?
I usually celebrate Christmas twice. With my family at our house and with our extended family at my aunt's house. Our houses are within walking distance, so it doesn't involve a lot of traveling.
What does the ''Christmas spirit'' mean to you?
Kindness, generosity and just a general happy feeling.
Who, out of anybody in the world, would you want to spend Christmas with?
Probably my intimate family----my parents and siblings, plus maybe my closest friends. 
So, that's the tag. Let me know in the comments how you celebrate Christmas.

    Shut up and take my money is a gif I need to use XD
    Edward Scissorhands has always had such a hold on me my whole life it makes me way too excited when people also adore it. Although the smaug side of my brain is like I have dibs and then the slightly more rational side is like omygoodness someone else has found it and now I can talk their ear off XD

      Right? It can be used for so many situations.
      It's such a different movie, but in the best way possible and I adore it.

August Recap

Hi, again. Basically I’m going to start doing a recap of each month. It’s popular among the blogging community. So, let’s see how August went. Posts Made in August Yeah, so there were quite a few made in August. My favorites were all of the chapters of my fanfic, doing my Q&A and answering all the awesome questions Diamond gave me. My most popular post this month was the answers to my Q&A Books Read In August Yeah, so I actually only read one book this month. Ideally, I would have read more but I enjoyed this one. 5/5 stars. It was very exciting and intriguing. Now, if only I could find the next two books in the series…… Best and Worst Book Read This Month Like I said earlier I only read one book so that’s my favorite. Movies & TV Shows Watched This Month Great movie, good music, way better plot than the second one. There were still some inconsistencies but overall it was very good. 4.5/5 stars. Hilarious movie. I mean, it is a comedy so it’s n

The Fandom Tag

 So, um, long time no see, right? I really did mean to write more blog posts and I don't really have a good excuse besides ''whoops.'' I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to blogging and I've been busy with other projects *cough* binge-watching Criminal Minds. Buuuuuut I'm back now and what better way to come back than with a tag?  Yes, I know I do a lot of tags. Work with me here.  Especially a tag about one of my favorite things ever: fandoms!  The Questions What's the first fandom that you remember joining? Harry Potter! I don't like JK Rowling as a person (we don't support transphobia here, folks), but those books were my entire childhood. I read and re-read the books, watched all the movies, played Harry Potter with my siblings......all that good stuff. What's the newest fandom you've come to enjoy? Welllllll......lately I've been absolutely obsessed with Hazbin Hotel ! When I say obsessed, I mean obsessively listening

Six Books With LGBTQIA+ Characters That You Should Add to Your TBR

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, June is Pride Month, and yet I haven't done any posts on it yet. I have one that's about writing LGBTQIA+ characters well, but that's sort of long and involved, so I'm starting with this.  This isn't really in any specific order, and they vary in genre quite a bit, so some books may appeal to you, and some might not. OK, onto the actual post. Disclaimer: All summaries are taken from Goodreads.  #1: These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling Summary: Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg [read: non-witch], she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend [and fellow Elemental Witch], Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and
