balsamandashYeah, it's super super late, I know. And I don't really expect anything. But I am doing the thing, because hey, why not. Moooost of this is free, because material things are weird right now. Some of it is "things no one is actually able to give me, BUT if you have words of advice, encouragement, or commiseration on the topic, consider this a request to share them".
Things That Cost Money:
> Gift cards are pretty much always appreciated. Practical ones: Walmart, Publix, does McDonalds do gift cards? if so that; selfish/indulgent ones: Starbucks, AMC, Amazon, Adiago, Etsy, Steam.
> Guitar Hero with a guitar controller (or Rock Band), for Wii. It is one of the few games I really, desperately want, and when I move, a wii is the only non-computer system I will have. (... Wii games in general appreciated but goddammit I just want guitar hero.)
> Tarot cards are always good, if you have decks lying around you don't want.
> Generally if there is a thing that screams "AUGUST MUST HAVE IT" to you, I will appreciate that....? Material things are weird.
Things That Don't:
> Make things for me and I will love you forever. Things based off things I've written (fannish or original), things that appeal to my fannish preferences or the things I like. Writing, icons, podfic, drawing, graphics, vids, fanmixes, filk, hell if you want to do meta on something for me, go for it. If you want some kind of idea what I like I can toss things at you but yeah, anything made specifically with me in mind makes me glee and wriggle.
> Tell me about your personal experience with deity/religion, with a heavy emphasis on "how you found your deity/pantheon/patron/whatever or how they found you". Send me an email, make a locked post, hell, make a public post; tell me in exact detail over paragraphs and pages, or tell me in five sentences. It's a thing I am thinking about a lot and hearing other people's stories helps in ways I can't articulate. (It does not matter to me what your religion/deity is. Tell me about your conversion to a strict monotheist religion or about your experiences finding your god in your pantheon, I am up for all of them.)
> Rec me music. Specifically, rec me artists/bands by giving me links to 2-3 good songs as a jumping off point, because that is the easiest way for me to get into something new.
>> Alternately, if you're a fan of The Mountain Goats or Doomtree, I am slowly consuming both these bands by song surfing; toss me your favorite? I am also slowly finding my way back to recent Broadway, so share any recs you've got for newer musicals? (...or older musicals, why not.)
> Rec me Steam games. I have Steam now and it's exciting, and I wouldn't mind getting other games. (I am pretty wide open and slowly feeling my way into games in general. Horror games are a bad idea, as I'm a chicken. Things I've played and enjoyed recently, to give you an idea: Portal, Her Story, Sunless Sea, Undertale [...barely begun but I started it], Dragon Age: Origins [ditto, though I'm still getting the hang of playing], FTL.)
>> Rec me Kongregate games, as I've been doing that while watching things. Types of things I've been playing as a start point: Papa's [X]aria series, Fairway Solitaire, Origami folding games, Infectonator, Snakes on a Cartesian Plane, You Find Yourself in a Room, Doodle God, Learn to Fly. Only real request is they be mutable.
> The courage to act on the desire to take pictures of my life/myself or record myself without feeling stupid and pointless.
>> The ability to initiate conversations without feeling stupid and like a leech.
> More sleep. So much more sleep.
