✨💖Positivity chain! List 5 to 10 things that make you smile and explain why! Then send this to others to let them know they make you smile✨💖

Thank you @softest-punk for sending me this ask. It made me feel warm and fuzzy. Let's see:

Dogs. Do I really need to explain why? They're dogs. They're the best. Especially the ones that let you pet them. I went to church yesterday after loooong absence. There was a dog (with his owner) sitting in a row behind me. He was a French Bulldog by the name Bear. I got to pet him. Never before had I received such a clear welcome back sign.

Libraries and bookshops. They are spaces full of books. Books I can pick up and look at and take with me if I so wish. I do love the fact that I can discover completely new things just picking a shelf at random and seeing what's there. The last time I wandered into a secondhand bookshop I found Shakespeare's Hamlet First Quarto 1603 Facsimiles. The bookseller sold it to me for 7 quid!

My friends. Both irl and online. Those people are in my life because they are awesome one way or another. Just thinking about them makes me smile. They're smart, creative, passionate, inquisitive, sometimes annoying, more often than not up for a laugh and always, always inspiring.

The moment before the performance starts. When the lights go down and the audience quietens in preparation to be transported. There's an ancient magic in that moment of stillness where we are waiting for the story to begin and anything, anything can happen.

Perfect seasonal days. It doesn't matter which season it is. I will take a snowy -20C winter's day and will enjoy it just as much as a sunny blue skied seemingly never-ending hot August afternoon.

Receiving old fashioned handwritten letters. Admittedly it has been a while. But is there anything better? Particularly in these times of instant digital communication. It's knowing that someone values you enough to go into all the effort of buying envelopes, sitting down to write and then actually going to the post office to post it. Can there be a bigger joy?

Lit candles in the evening. They make everything look more cozy, more mysterious, sort of hazy and with a hint of danger. I love the various smells they have. I love the memories they bring of childhood games where we would tell ghosts stories by candlelight or try to summon spirits.

Different colour pens. Especially if they have glitter in them. I bought a set of those on a whim and now my journal has random words in glittery purple and glittery orange. A little callback to a simple childish joy.

Making risotto. I love the whole process of standing over the pot and stirring for half an hour. I know most people find it boring. I find it meditative. Especially if there's a glass of wine and a good album playing in the background. I found Arctic Monkey's Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino works particularly well in this scenario.

Andrew Scott. Look, the man radiates joy. He's playful and ready to laugh at any moment. His acting talent is astonishing. He's not afraid to bring fashion to red carpets. He's thoughtful and sweet. He has the most gorgeous smile. What can I say, he makes me smile every time I see a photo of him.

I watched Gladiator II yesterday and now I need Vergil. All I wanted was to enjoy pretty men in skirts.

Took this photo yesterday while possessed by the spirit of one of my 18thC ancestors who viewed the possibility of purchasing THREE nutmegs for loose change with breathless awe

not to quote rent at you like the millennial queer i am, but the opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation.

make art. make music. make literature. make poetry. make clothing. make a birdhouse. make a meal. make a little guy. make a journey. make friendships. make community. make connections. make someone smile. make someone laugh. make someone burn bright with the assurance that they are loved. make a home.

your job on this earth is to care for yourself and be a blessing to those around you. we create a better world right here, where we stand, starting with us.

when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all

I saw this on Art Deco perfume bottle from Czechia from the 30th and needed to share it with you. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Oh it IS gorgeous! Czech Art Deco glass is broadly excellent stuff but WHAT an example, look at the tiny spider. I am in love with it, thank you for sharing!!

Ha a lélek vándorlásában hiszünk, el kell fogadnunk hogy ha zenészek voltunk, zenészek maradunk akkor is, ha négy lábbal újraszületünk..

I think you're looking for Run Away (But We're Running in Circles) by @five-and-dimes If not you should go and read it anyway as it's great.

this might be quite a hard question because it’s like.. the crux of every dreamling fic ever but i’m trying to find one i read awhile ago about how dream believes no one truly loves him for himself. i think it had hob and death trying to prove it to him in different ways? it’s driving me insane, does it ring any bells?

It, as you suggest, rings a huge number of bells which I think may be a problem here but let's throw it open and see if anyone can name the specific fic you're looking for!
