the attic archives | ep. 34 ✸ a week of drawing ghosts 🖍️

[@dani5165]

The secondhand excitement this gives me is so so nice ! I love how passionate you sound and i love listening to you talking about the Gloomies ! I can’t wait to see the next test prints!

[@MeganRhiannon]

oh im so glad!! thank you for watching! ❤‍🩹

[@bujomurphy]

I really do want "sorry, i'm having a weird week" merch. as much as it's a little joke on the channel, it would be so nice on like a tote or a sweater ❤️‍🩹

[@dianafrances6880]

The remark about worn notebooks becoming charming is so accurate

[@badpoetry33]

“who makes the rules? I do!” that’s right, Meghan!!! happy to see your channel growing by over 10k in just the past couple of weeks I’ve been following you… we are all drawn to and inspired by your realness and the way you do life and take care of yourself. you are grace and truth personified.

[@rockislander5857]

I stumbled across your channel, and I really love your Halloween vibe. It always makes me laugh to see your generation using things from my generation (X) for aesthetic purposes. I saw Nirvana in concert, owned original vinyl, and used to take photos with film canister cameras because that's all that actually existed. It makes me so happy that this stuff is making a comeback.

[@thegoatgirlcr]

Your ghost cards are fantastic! I'm amazed at how much time, attention, & care you put into all you do: your notebooks, art, & videos. Also, I LOVE the colors you chose for your new dot stickers!!! Thanks, as always, for sharing your journey & art with us🌞

[@flowers718]

Hii Megan , i have been struggling with depression for the past few months now and your videos are a great source of comfort for me , just wanted to say thankyou. Being on the autism spectrum is not always easy, your videos and the comments make me feel less lonely and accepted

[@sulmapalma8780]

I would really love to see you make an entire deck of gloomies. Having a stack of them that I could shuffle through and pull a card a day to carry in my notebook would be v nice I think.

[@JeannyMeyer]

I do the same with those big sheets of paper. I always have difficulties putting things in order so I just dump everything on a big sheet of paper and then connect things detective-style and lots of annotations. Also, out of sight out of mind, so they really remind me of what’s going on.

[@annikaognjana4224]

I didn't like the colors regular dot stickers come in either so I just bought a bunch of white ones, which are also quite cheap, and just color them with tombows or other markers. It is also great because I can just make proportionally more of the colors I use more frequently. It has worked really well for me. Love your videos❤

[@caitlinc2635]

I would love seeing a commonplace flip through and maybe just talking about some of the things you wrote down. I love these videos and I literally watch them on repeat because they bring me so much comfort

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

18:43 I’ve talked myself into economical things that I didn’t really like, similar to your primary color dots. It usually always leaves me feeling agitated and regretful, most especially when it’s for a creative or self expression project I’m invested in. My autistic brain wants what it wants! (Edit:) Thanks Thanks for being here, being so open and unedited!✨

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

37:08 Yes! I was happy to see that you bought the aesthetic dots that make You happy!!

[@ChantelleArts]

I love how genuine your videos feel ❤

[@mjllw2000]

The test prints of the gloomies look great. I really like the backs of the cards it ties it all together nicely.🖤

[@MeganRhiannon]

thank you!! appreciate the feedback on the backs of the cards! ❤‍🩹

[@untitled_paintings]

It’s so lovely to see you talk so excitedly about the gloomies project and I can’t wait to purchase the cards! It was really inspiring to hear you talk about them☁️

[@KnitsFromTheVoid]

I LOVE your field notes, such lovely little notebooks! I'm new on here so I would definitely appreciate a flip-through and re-cap. I did not know about them (Field Notes, the company) before, so in my mind now they have to sponsor you. You are right, looking used and battered makes them even cuter!

[@judreads]

Omg I get summer sad too. The heat and the constant light makes me go insane.

[@itsnemnem]

50k with Drac and a Cupcake? Absolutely!

[@lizzieblades]

If you’re still looking for suggestions for the back of the cards, I was thinking that maybe a slightly bigger Gloomie face would be cute, especially if it looks sad, because the sadness of them is cute and endearing. And then maybe just the word “Gloomies” in your handwriting (below the face). I think something really simple and straightforward like that would bring it together. Is there a “neutral” or “original” gloomie? I think it would be so cute if there was one that was designed to be “the original” (like when you think of Mickey Mouse and his outfit)…. and then all the other ones are a variation on the original (the birthday one, the sleepy one, etc…) Idk, I hope you don’t mind me suggesting things about artwork that is uniquely your own! No matter what details you tweak, they are going to turn out amazing! :)

[@taminalock7957]

I love the gloomies and I love hearing you get excited talking about them. The end of the video was beautiful and felt liberating. Thanks for the reminder to go outside 🌳

[@Rkive.wonderland]

I have summer SAD too and I don’t ever come across anyone else that does too. Everything you described is what I love about gloomy winter days. For 50k maybe, a day in the life of Wednesday? I think it would be cute 🥰

[@Ellie-lm6pz]

With 'if we were villains' it took me foreverrrr to actually get into it, cus the beginning is so slow. But once I got past the first few slow bits I couldn't put it down and finally finished it earlier this week. I loved it sooo much, so I'd say just keep with it!

[@Sarah-bu9qm]

Your gloomies test prints are soooo cute. I love them. Continue to stay true to you! I’m sooo happy I found your channel.

[@brandimullins3627]

I can’t tell you enough how much you have inspired my with my notebooks and even with my life!!! I’m 40 and a mom and you are just the highlight of my you tube week!!!!❤

[@a.morujo6073]

the title should've been a(nother) week of drawing ghosts 😂 love spending my saturday morning with you as always!!

[@MeganRhiannon]

very good point 😭

[@Shogun-c87]

Another nice video. I was shocked at the price of that oasis album! There were some clips where you were speaking quickly and you were almost breathlessly excited. It was really cool to see you so excited about something. Love Gloomies as a name too. Diggin the longer hair. Have a good week Megan.

[@CrimsonKas]

I am beyond excited for the gloomies cards! I really want whatever bundle the sleep one comes in (I have narcolepsy, so I’m always sleepy). You also make me want to switch from my Hobonichi notebook to a Field Notes. I’m determined to finish my Hobonichi notebook, though, because they’re so expensive and I don’t want to waste a beautiful notebook. Thanks for all the inspiration! Your excitement is contagious!

[@nathaanatos]

the gloomies are so cute, and im so excited for when they're released! i can already see myself attempting to get all the ones you decided to print, aha. You're videos are as lovely as always, and you've inspired me to get back into my own "book time" which has been really nice and calming. best vibes overall

[@georgia2510]

I mean this as a compliment, your videos never make me feel overstimulated❤

[@contrapasso]

Megan, thank you so much for your videos. I found the autistic January sucks video last week and have been watching all your older content since. It’s so calming. I’ve been so sick and struggling (I’m bipolar) for months and I’m moving next week, so I really needed something to facilitate quiet moments of rest. Your videos have been a lifesaver in that regard. And you got me to start commonplacing, which I’m loving so far. Thank you ❤️‍🩹

[@Cozyegg]

I get SAD in the summer months too. Glad to hear I’m not alone.

[@victorianwhovian]

this has made me feel happy, i have very recently lost my beloved pet budgie, archie, and i haven’t quite accepted his death. anyway these calm videos never fail to make me smile

[@julianas8201]

i love the gloom so much. Where i live we have to have AC'S on constantly in the summer and its so overstimulating that i can barely think and i get so depressed and overwhelmed

[@MarmiJournals]

Journalling with these videos make me feel so calm and lovely. thank you so much

[@usertams]

i genuinely enjoy all of your videos and this was no exception

[@asiasias]

I’ve recently realized that when I don’t go for things that I actually want and look for economical options, I end up wasting almost the equal amount of money trying out different economical products so from now on I’ll just start buying things that I truly want, not waste product and also save myself the time and effort :)

[@ALovelyJaunt]

Great video as always! You motivate me to get out my journal.

[@Untitled_Coffee_Art]

I really like the Hellebore magazine, I had them all shipped over each release and their Occult Britain travel/history book. I'm always on the fence on Tillie Walden's tarot deck, the colors are so bright lol.

[@sophiaisabelle01]

We wish you all the best, Rhiannon. Keep up the good work in everything you do in your life.

[@LPPLPPpls]

I would really love a video about all the reading books that you loved to read!! Always good to have good book recommendations. X

[@ohtrouxa5861]

youre my new favorite youtuber

[@septemtriofilia]

I love your channel and videos so much! Thank you so much to be such a safe place - Greetings from France ♡

[@SmartiChronicles]

Here I thought I was the only one who like winter and get summer sad instead.. we are rare 😅

[@0auracat0]

Loved this episode. Thank you so much for the upload Now have a routine journalling myself and am considering getting mini field note books of my own aha

[@Ali-sx1rg]

ahhhh a summer sad sister 💖The heat makes me feel miserable and I even lose my appetite during summer

[@kirithornalley6123]

The tote bags are coming back!!!!

[@HeyItsTra]

I doubt you'll see this but about the test print text.... part of you "brand" is small text. I think it's perfect. I can read it just fine and I'm an old lady. LOL I love them

[@lilonishi]

Loved this so much! i deffo feel like i need to get my hands on some of the Hellebore magazines because they look so freaking cool! cant wait for the shop update either 🥰

[@zephyr4704]

Maybe add the outline of the index card on the back? That might be why the back feels a lil off

[@Nxox_]

This is such a wonderful video, I have been extremely stressed from exams (literally had a test everyday from tuesday to friday, I am tiireeed) and this video alongside some green tea was so relaxing :) Thankyou Megan !

[@britishrocketeer]

I love the Dracula idea, I hope you end up doing it!

[@joyofstationery]

oh my goodness, the test prints of your gloomies look amazing! I love the design, both of the front and the back, and it's so exciting to see them

[@Sam.v726]

I’m so excited for the gloomies drop! Also overcast weather for life. Thanks for another bomb video

[@abouncyfrog]

Omg I loooove your Frankenstein! I have the same one from NECA, but he is the black and white version! He is currently standing on my bookshelf and holding his daisies ❤

[@TheMuseTree]

My hobbies also come in waves but also phases for me. It can get a bit weird in regards to completing things like books, shows, games, projects and etc etc

[@allyson.m]

I also get the summer SADs! My therapist said it’s called RSAD - reversed seasonal affective disorder lol. I hate summer so much, I live in Arizona so it gets well over 110 degrees Fahrenheit here in the daytime so I feel like a shriveled up slug, like I just can’t do anything. But I thrive in the winter (well, thrive as much as a depressed ND unemployed adult can)

[@victoriahinton9869]

Ahhh so excited for the shop opening!!!! And right in time for my bday!

[@thatonecordelia]

I'm in the process of hopping in and out of this video so it's taking me a long time to watch, but! That's unrelated. I just wanted to say for the autistic books, if my comment doesn't get lost (and also if someone else hasn't mentioned this already); have you thought of setting up a pre-order system? So instead of getting them printed and having to cover the upfront costs, you can get pre-orders and print out however many of those plus maybe a little extra to stock with the pre-order money. Anyway onto the rest of the video I go.

[@thatonecordelia]

Finally finally finished it at 12:30am on a Monday oop. I'm so so excited, beyond excited for the gloomies! I've loved watching you post them on Tumblr so often recently. They give me so much comfort, it's hard to explain. They're like little friends who are there to support you every step of the way. Re: designs on the back. I think it'd be pretty fun to categorize them into sets and have different design additions on the backs of each set (like the dice for luck (or a clover, or anything else) orrr little footsteps for gloomies related for going outside or doing brave things or something!). I might just be a nerd but the idea of having neat little categories of friends is very exciting haha

[@wellergurl]

Ummm YASSSS... COME ON NOW FIELD NOTES, PLEASE SPONSER THIS GIRL! IT'S TIME. ❤️👍💯

[@loganc6818]

I love the gloomies so so much!

[@juliagarcia8212]

i've missed you so much, i'm always like waiting for you to post even if it is been like a day since the last video.

[@Seolhwaneul]

I honestly wouldn’t mind if you film even tho it’s dark ngl 😂 it gives your videos much more character and would really reinforce your brand hehe. I’d watch your videos no matter how dark it is lmao Also, I am oBSESSED with your wall ugh your aesthetic is just so *chef’s kiss*

[@theminnesotawitch]

18:09 Zig clean color dot markers! You can get plenty of colors (they sell in packs and in singles) and long term it would be cheaper! 😊

[@addisonroux4417]

I saw the Hellebore magazines, in particular that there was an article about Dorian Gray and I had to buy it immediately! No stockists where I live, so I got it direct from their website. £7.25 and £1.90 postage, fantastic value! They have an amazing tote bag that I really wanted too, but it's sold out!

[@lock28mori23]

Thank you for another video🤗

[@Tyler-Bayleaf]

"i said i wouldnt order stationery yet bc i didnt need to-- but i did" literally same lmao 😂

[@rosagapi]

14:02 beautiful design

[@rosagapi]

@meganrhiannon1 please stop this scam! We already know you are an impersonator/impostor!!!! Shame on you

[@lenapgl]

what about doing pre-orders for the zines? then you can have the exact quantities and the money ready to print

[@raining-tulips]

Soooo interested in adding these to my tarot / oracle / affirmation card collection 🥰🥺

[@tired_squirb]

Your videos put me in such a good headspace•

[@MeganRhiannon]

im glad, thank you 🥺

[@canzonimurinni5290]

i loved this video so much🥹

[@paulathevalley]

I love the gloomies so much. Everything you said about the gloomy weather: hard agree. I am right there with you. Maybe a seance for 50k? 😅 maybe a field trip with the gloomies? Did I mention I love the gloomies?

[@wegotthepower]

i just love your videos! thank you so much for sharing ❤✨ i’m totally overwhelmed today from work this week so this video came just in the right time ✨ it took me some time to watch it all since my concentration is kind of non existent atm (although i wanted to watch it all in one go), but yeah. just wanted to tell you that i’m very inspired by you, so thank you again ✨🙏🏼

[@dunkelgefunkel]

Have you read ‚Piranesi‘ by Susanna Clarke? Your Notebooks remind me of this Book 🥰

[@foreverlucky75]

Can you do a book recommendation? Something like your top 10 for 2022 or something?

[@offline._archive]

Omg i love that skeleton figure on your desk! May i know where you get him from?

[@bnnfphotographer8252]

Hi Megan ! Your videos are my little Sunday morning rituals, it’s always nice to hang out with you ❤ I was wondering if it’s possible for you to share your sketchbook « paper » (the scanned one). I’m looking for one since a long time but I can’t find on that suit me … thank you and have a beautiful day ✨

[@dayinletters]

I want you to get the Dracula for 50k!

[@donkeylover20002]

I love when you don’t put music over some of this, it’s such a break for my brain

[@itsnemnem]

What if you printed them like playing cards?

[@lenapgl]

treat yourself for 50k!! Sam needs Dads, enable yourself all you want :)

how yellow are the graphs in fieldnotes? online it looks very yellow, but in your vids it looks like a gray yellow.
