#lockdown hobbies

[shesnake]

the problem with mainstream fictional media today is it is predominantly made for people who don't like fictional media all that much

lately i've been looking back a lot on how college was a traumatising time in my life, but there were some genuinely wonderful people there who inspired me constantly and taught me newer perspectives and ideas i would have never been able to discover outside of my bubble

i never had the chance to learn enough or hang out much with them due to my unfortunate situation at the time. isolation made me distrustful and paranoid, not to mention how i turned easily exhausted in social situations. i see these people in better places now and i'm so incredibly happy for them, but it also gave me reflection on the things that were stolen from me during those formative years.

i can only hope to move forward in better ways and remind myself it's never too late to build something out of myself. one day i'll catch up.

Hitman question time! Which lockdown hobby did the Hitmanfam take up and who still does theirs to this day?

Ohhh another ask and such a banger! Damn it's a hard question again 💦

I think 47 (somehow the easiest right now) has discovered baking for himself. We see an option in the safehouse with lots and lots of bread - so much bread that I wondered if he doesn't supply a bakery on the side. I also think he has kept the hobby (maybe he just loooooves bread ❤️)

I think Diana used the time to do something more for herself. Finally read the books that were usually just lying around gathering dust. Using the bath additive that had actually expired a year ago but smelled so good but never got used. Catch up on a few series that are now 10 years old but have been recommended to her so often. Maybe there was even a (online) watch date here and there with 47, because he probably had a lot of series to catch up on too. But unlike 47, she kept her self-care to a minimum after covid. Not because she doesn't want to continue, but because everyday life has taken her back.

Probably not much has changed for Olivia, lmao She's a hacker, she hardly ever left the house anyway; she was probably more annoyed that so many people are now permanently online as well. Maybe she has discovered knitting for herself eventually. Or crocheting. So that she can make her own things. But I'm sure she would have learned to do that at some point regardless of the lockdown (“those Etsy products are so cute, but surely I can make them myself!”)

Lucas is soooo hard to judge. It sounds harsh, but I don't think the man has any hobbies 💔 Buying guns, trading guns, cleaning guns. Researching on the internet, reading bad news, smoking a lot, passing out in between and calling it sleep, working out and when he's bored and the intrusive thoughts come back, drinking alcohol. But I think AFTER Providence he will find himself. And I think he would meditate. Find inner peace. It doesn't always work, but it helps him to organize himself. He would certainly keep that up after lockdown. Even if it's not always easy to do it in everyday life.

But what do you think??? It's such an interesting question!

Although tbh they probably didn't stay in lockdown lol - I can well imagine how 47 still went out every day wearing a mask Or Covid won't just hit him like it does to normal people, he's a super human after all

starting to feel like i need a schedule for my hobbies

[hecckyeah]

Soooooooooo

This is not my proudest moment ever.

I started watching the rookie exactly 10 days ago (sep 10th) and i just finished s5e2 today.

That’s an average of 7.8 episodes per day, and with each ep at 40 minutes, that’s

*drum roll*

5.2 hours

FIVE AND ONE QUARTER HOURS PER DAY

of the rookie

I am

Unwell

I think my brain is oozing out my eyeballs. (Worth it)

[todorokies]

glock to ur head, you and geto selfship thoughts GO‼️

AAAHHHH OKAYYY SO during the lockdown we quarantined together and one day we were soooo bored out of our minds so we decided to adopt a cat !!! ( specifically a black cat )

i always joke around saying how the cat and him are basically twins and he’d get soo pouty and lowkey mad abt it omg 😭 ALSOOO we made a lil book club with each other in quarantine and we’re still committed to it !!! sometimes he’ll read me a few pages of a literature book he recently started reading and lordddd his voice is sooo soft and dreamy i’ll immediately fall asleep on his shoulder

absolutely cannot get into the world of crocheting/knitting throws or blankets right now. but a Vision came to me

long time listener first time caller but I would love to hear how the trio handled COVID after living through the outcome of the last pandemic in the 20s.

The Spanish Flu hit hard in 1918 and 1919. It lingered a little bit in 1920, but my research says it wasn't much of an impact. So, Bucky was born in March 1917, Steve in July 1918, and Quinn in November 1920. (I did find out that there was a serious problem with pregnant women catching this Influenza variant and their children were born with a lot of health issues so who has a new headcanon that Sarah Rogers was a survivor of the flu!)

With that said, the trio's parents all remember. This was around the time that Quinn's pa, Benny, was just getting to Kentucky and he remembers the chaos. Gravediggers were getting sick and dying so fast that the military had to bury bodies. Cars and horse-drawn carts were just heaped with bodies. That's only in Kentucky. There's no imagining what New York was like during this time.

That said, you best believe that Quinn (a doctor) and Steve (a chronically ill man who lived during a time when people were hot for eugenics) were put under house arrest by Bucky because they wanted to have "words" with anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

Just because I've finished the assignment doesn't mean I don't still feel agitated and restless like I'm supposed to be doing something. But when no distraction is working it's at the point that I dig into the pandemic hobby box

Just bought 37 makeup brushes for £7.07 (19p/brush) on ebay. Literally all the brushes I could need, for the price of a couple pints in a pub. So chuffed. Drugstore prices could never.

I picked up one of my swords again after ages and swung it around a bit and only hit the chandelier twice... and gods it felt GREAT. now I just have to either move stuff around in my apartment or go outside after dark so I can practice again without destroying any furniture

[area51-escapee]

Me: I should take up printmaking! I should learn to crochet! I should draw more!

My hands that always without fail ache after doing any activity, sometimes including even just a few hours of work at my actual job:
