the problem with mainstream fictional media today is it is predominantly made for people who don't like fictional media all that much
#pandemic really killed normie hobbies 😪 why are some of you still watching tv go outside i promise you'll love it#lockdowns created a bigger market for stream bingeing and they're still trying to hang onto them!!

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.
#i was in an extremely abusive relationship that i only managed to escape from during lockdown#very grateful to the circle of people who helped me out in doing so#i had to come to terms that the person wasn't a good person at all#and that they isolated me from literally everyone#my current relationship is much much more healthier and brings me joy and growth every day#i was able to reconnect with old friends and hobbies and joys and even religion again#so don't worry i'm okay now the bad stuff is mostly in the past at this point#there are still plenty of old wounds and lies from that person that i have to fight every day#but things are objectively better now. i'm getting better now.#we're nearing year 2 of that fateful escape#here's to another year of doing cool shit again

#I've seen a lot of cacomixtles lately and that reminded me that during the first big lockdown i made a hobby#of spotting them through the window at night and i should do that again but idk if they would still come out bc now we have a dog#🐌

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
#hitman asks#im gonna be honest with you#i didn't find a new hobby as well#I'm oliva in this scenario but without the knitting#my mum was like 47 tho she was baking SO MUCH BREAD#and who are you on the hitman lockdown chart?? lol

I'm aro bc there is not a person on this earth that can make me feel what music makes me feel <- he is listening to music that is not miku for the first time in days
#i have 2 separate watch later playlists and one is specifically for voca music and i've been working through that one#to add to the miku lockdown playlist and also watch the numbers go down from ~1700 songs#finally listening to stuff i set aside bc i've already heard it and like it to consider snatching it up and. man. it feels like sunshine#the good kind not the horrific hellish kind outside right now hjdfdhjf#music... music good... i still feel like that bit from it's always sunny where they're asking mac(?) about hobbies#and he goes oh magnets! and they're like. like looking at magnets? collecting magnets? and he goes#oh just magnets :) i didn't know this was a special interest bc it feels so vague hjghdgjk#music makes every neuron in my brain light up simultaneously and i cannot believe not everyone lives like this#utterly INSANE that not everyone perceives music like ambrosia. like sweet nectar. what was i saying#shai speaks

Thinking about how expensive band merch is and quick psa, DIY shirts are fun to make!!! And DIY CDs are cheap as shit!!!
#the yapper yaps#everybody had a weird phase during lockdown where they completely obsessed over some niche hobby for a couple weeks#mine was diy shirts#bro they were so cool actaully#but i did discover acrylic paint does not stay (if you want it to)#also cds#its like five quid for a pack of blank cds#and TOTALLY LEGAL WAYS TO GATHER SONGS#is totally free

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)
#I have got to find a different hobby after this#something outdoors preferably#okay but also i did. do this once before#when I watched the entirety of both Brooklyn 99 AND parks and rec in under 3 weeks#but in my defense that was during lockdown and what else was I supposed to do???

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.
#taylor answers magical people#bucky was raging too but he didn't want to deal with having to constantly bail them out of jail#they did pick up a lot of hobbies during lockdown tho#steve got to focus on art#quinn started a twitch channel#bucky learned to cook and bake and they all gained a lot of weight

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
#Coronavirus#i picked up so many half assed hobbies during that initial lockdown in order to not lose my mind so now i just have a hobby box#painting has one out today but i did not account for drying time restlessness whoops#Ace's arting adventure#i hate that tag 😅 its so inaccurate but i like the alliteration so it stays#i could go for a lil mental health walk but its so sunny ill probably get a headache and theres no woods to shelter from the sun#its not an outside day i do need to socialise though i can tell its starting wear on me again#stupid internal health checks id like to understand less thanks

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 used to love makeup so much and I've received some great stuff#but I threw away all my brushes during a lockdown (they were ruined) so I've been doing everything w/ fingers for years now#i think because makeup is 'superficial' I'd neglected how much more fun creative hobbies/skills are with appropriate tools#like learning a real instrument instead of a toy one or painting with proper paint instead of craft... like yeah it's functional without#but it's not as rewarding or enjoyable sometimes

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
#“maybe I should change chandelier to ceiling lamp? no wait I'm writing about swords it's much more genre compliant that way”#hema#sword practice#just European things#living in castles swinging swords you know normal European stuff#too many hobbies#I guess I could get one of those simulators without a blade that smiths started making when there was an actual lockdown#but the last thing I need is more swords (rare lucid moment)

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: 
#remembering during lockdown#I spent a few days either writing or playing a miku rhythm game#and I woke up one day#and just couldn’t fucken move my hand#cuz my hand down to the wrist hurt so damn bad#maybe I should finally get some damn compression gloves before I pick up new hobbies
