the attic archives | ep. 42 ✸ reading, writing, ✨struggling✨

[@rolaru3349]

Hi Megan, I just wanted to finally comment. I'm 34 and there's no public health pathway in my country yet for Autism or ADHD diagnosis and I can't afford the private route but I love watching your videos and I think if things had been different and a bit better, my younger self might have been a lot like you and I mean that as a compliment. I hope that you are proud of yourself.

[@Ilne.N]

Regarding ideas for videos: do what you feel suits you best at the moment. The daily excerpts of walks, swans, Wednesday, seeing bookflips in stores and general clouds makes such calm content just by itself. Do not feel like it has to be "high value" or important topics. Your vibe of sharing small things is what makes me interested to watch and read/draw/write while listening and watching your content.

[@CrimsonKas]

I totally get how “weird times” are your baseline and how you constantly find yourself in a place of learning to accept it over and over again. I often think, “I just need to get over this weird bump in the road, then I can move on,” but months later, I’m still in that weird headspace and I have to remind myself that this is actually my normal. As for book recs, have you heard of Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand? It’s a short novella and is full of gothic atmosphere. It’s about a fictional band that goes to Wylding Hall to record an album, but one of their members goes missing in the house, never to be seen again. The book is about a documentary being made about the band and what had happened at Wylding Hall. It’s a fascinating and chilling book. It’s also very different. I think I want to reread it now. 😂 Anyway, it can be read in one sitting and is beautifully written.

[@levinia333]

I love the videos & just hearing you talk about anything.. it’s comforting and like chatting with a friend.

[@mlleariane6667]

About the "weird times to normal times" feeling, I have been feeling like I have a little bit more grasp on it when I track things everyday in my planners. Symptoms, mood... It feels like I have a little bit broader view of how my weird to normal ratio looks like and also it really helped me understand what was my normal.

[@mlleariane6667]

(I realize this make look like unsolicited advice and it's really not meant that way, this is more of a "i give a tidbit about myself to explain I relate to some extent" autistic comment, sorry)

[@kittea1804]

12:10 it is an incredibly normal thing to just take a walk without a dog. i'd be super interested to know why you think taking a walk is weird lmao

[@fiopiccolo14]

I think they just call it "rings" instead of ring binder in the planner community. So yeah, you're into rings now. 💍😄

[@dlmarsh1916]

😮 Is it really necessary to correct someone like this who shared, "I feel a little less like dying now that I've had some sleep"? Maybe show her some grace and skip over the lack of perfection. She didn't ask what the binder was called. But, maybe the correction of someone who is struggling (see video title) somehow made you feel better. Geez, can't people just be kind any more?

[@fiopiccolo14]

@@dlmarsh1916 errr.. did you watch the video? She was wondering what to call the new system she created. She didn’t like using the names ‘Filofax’ or ‘ring binder’.. I was just suggesting something. 😂

[@dlmarsh1916]

I did watch the video. She was obviously hurting and in a tentative place. She did not ask what to call the binder. She was merely explaining what she called it.. Did you listen to her video? It was a call for understanding, not correction. If you are okay with correcting someone in that place in life on such a meaningless point, so be it. I hope you find more understanding from others when you need it.

[@haileybee6352]

​@@dlmarsh1916 I sense some mild confusion here. You're heart is clearly in the right place, and I agree with you completely in saying she deserves grace and kindess-- everyone does. Which is why I want to take the time and just clear the air by saying @Fio Piccolo wasn't correcting her, but referring to when she said she didn't like calling the filofax a ring binder because it sounds like grade school, and wanted a fun thing to call it besides the brandname (mentioned at 7:20- 7:27). I honestly think all Fio was doing was suggesting a name to call it based on another common name for a ring binder. And rings is a cute name! I don't think there was any ill intention in their comments.

[@tj4234]

Never in my life have I heard it called a rings binder. Just ring binder.

[@ashmelville]

a reading suggestion I have is this really wholesome and so beautifully illustrated graphic novel series - the tea dragon books. My fav was the last one, “the tea dragon tapestry” The illustrations ( & novel in general ) help me when I’m needing some comfort. Also has some great representation! I hope this helps ! Or that you find some good books 🤍

[@ashdondondon]

I love just coming here and listening to whatever you want to talk about or whatever you’re fixated on. It’s soothing.

[@katerina.h3]

I think that was me that made the comment! 🥺💕 I’m so glad it was helpful! I’m also autistic and noticing how peoples sensory needs impact their behavior/how they try to fulfill those needs is part of my job, so it was an easy observation for me. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to translate that capability to myself and my own sensory needs, so maybe it’s similar with you and it’s just harder to recognize when it’s so internal. Your videos help me daily and I come back to them when I’m overwhelmed and struggling so I’m happy to give back and help some🥰

[@cranberrysauces]

hello! you probably will not see this after hours of editing and such, but I wish you well. you make me so happy when you post by the way you handle things and you make me feel better about my autism and other anxiety mannerisms :))

[@andreawallenberger2668]

"I don't know what's going on in my body and my brain, but something's conflicting and things are weird." it happens, for sure, and btw so well-said! u got this 🎯💡❤❤❤

[@Rose01bloom]

I want to thank you for recommending Tiimo a while ago, it's very helpful to me! The Shadow of the Wind is my eternal recommendation, part of a 4 book series that can be read in any order and they fit together in a very satisfying way like a puzzle. Gothic novel, very dramatic and sweeping and fun. I recommend starting with The Shadow of the Wind before moving on to the rest I relate to things being weird more often than not. Energy is fickle and having a disability means constantly adjusting to changing limitations.

[@emmahauck7795]

I just sat down to journal with you on in the background and I had to commonplace what you said about coming to terms with your disability over and over... that's a feeling I've had since I've embraced my Autism, and it's been so fuzzy and gnarled in my head that I couldn't name it, but you did so succinctly. You make me feel less unruly in my own brain. Thank you for your softness

[@elletallgren6497]

Megan, I am loving your videos. They are my weekly calm down and way to reset. So nothing different is needed, it is so nice as is. Some flip throughs and talking about CDs or cassettes are always nice if youre looking to do something alternative to the attic archives!

[@cherylgiles9658]

Never thought of it as coming to terms with disability over and over again…but it’s true. I run into my disability every day several times a day. That makes more sense than enduring it as my whole life. It puts my disability into life, instead of it being about life being a disability. It breaks things into parts instead of being the whole. So I can I embrace my work arounds in parts instead of coloring my whole life as a disability. I like that. It feels more positive and less overwhelming. Not autistic. Partially blind and kidney disease. Very much enjoy your channel.

[@beccagorham10]

Personally, I look forward to your videos every single week - they are so comforting and I actually love just listening to you chat about notebooks and cds and spooky stuff, and just looking at the beautiful stuff you create. Obviously if u feel weird do whatever makes you excited about making videos, but don’t feel like they aren’t interesting - I love them 🖤

[@deerlordxx]

Hiii,,I'm a chronic lurker but I finally decided I should comment just to tell you how much inspiration your videos have been giving me these last few months..I've been writing things down for as long as I can remember but this past year in college it has been really challenging for me to find a journal system that worked for me,,,your videos have been really helpful in giving me ideas on how to organize and have fun with my writings and ramblings,,and I can actually say that I'm loving journaling again !! ((which is big for me because the last few years it's felt more like a burden))...anyway just wanted to say I love your channel and I think you're amazing

[@Kdmud]

Hi Megan, I’m the one who asked about adding illustrations to your pages on Patreon. I am so happy to hear you have the digital stickers, so l’m a happy camper! 😊 I’m going to say this every time…you may be having a crisis about your “production” output. But, really, I wish you could see and feel just how much quality illustrations, incredible physical product, and beautiful content you have put out! I think everyone would say how much your creativity has touched our lives and how much we love your spooky gloomie world! I say keep going, do not think you are in any way boring!!! I love this direction and the next one you will take, and the one after that!😂🎉👻

[@asherwells401]

Question/video idea perhaps; tour of your vinyl, tapes and CDs, your favs/if theres a memory attatched to a group or song. I know you like Maneskin, did you discover them as a child or recently?

[@Lisa_Flowers]

As someone who also has chronic health stuff (undiagnosed, because I don't have access to diagnosis but I know that SOMETHING is fucked) I also struggle to come to terms with the way it affects every facet of my life and how much more often I have 'weird' times than 'normal' times. Sometimes I catch myself saying I had a Hard Week and it's like...90% of my weeks are hard with like sprinkles of fleeting joy so really I just had a Week, and it's odd that I feel the need to distinguish that. I'm constantly trying seesawing between radical acceptance of my circumstances (so that I don't inevitably get upset with myself and my limited abilities) and choosing continued denial (because if this is really the way things are then what's the point and why am I even alive). A little dark, but that's just how i'm dealing with my 'horrors' right now lol

[@C.yamashita]

I love these videos. They're comforting. It's one of my treats.

[@clararouvier]

I dont know if you enjoy non fiction books, but I have read In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, and it really made a diference in the way I see art and life now. It's an essay about aesthetics, and its quite comforting in some way? I don't know how to explain it but I thought you might like it

[@MariPaiolla]

I really enjoy your videos Megan. I started using a ring binder 2 years ago and last year after watching the videos I made a layout similar to your hobonichi weeks to use on it. Now I'm happy to see that you changed to a ring binder too and is enjoying it too. I love to watch the new video on Mondays while I dink my morning coffee and set up my planner for the week. 😊

[@Chill-oh5tc]

Hi Megan! I love your videos. I look forward to you posting every Saturday. I’m neurodivergent and a chronic migraine sufferer too and a lot of the things you talk about in your vids are really relatable to me (like struggling with energy, you feel “weird” more often than “normal”, etc). Your vids are like a light in the dark sea of productivity, hustle culture, “that girl” vlogs lol. Since you asked for vid suggestions, what about a room tour? The areas you’ve shown on camera look really cool and I’d love to see the whole room (only if you’re comfortable showing it tho).

[@merpat]

please keep on doing what makes you feel good and content. as someone with (Au?)80HDs i found your videos quite helpful and inspiring in my own journey of trying to self care while functioning in this world. i have them playing while i try to do my own admin/planner things/self regulating. You are awesome and being yourself is enough for this community - whatever/at whatever rate you want to post we'll be here

[@sidneyn1366]

In regards to your request for video feedback. You're in luck as many of us love the routine and sameness of the attic archives. I do also love when you do the occasional topic specific video that follows your current focus or an autism topic. We're interested in you and what you're up to! So if you have a fun thing you wanna talk about or show us (current hyper fixations lol), make a video! Weather in an attic archive or as it's own standalone thing.

[@victoriahinton9869]

I love the out of season zine idea!!

[@beezarelee179]

Watching your videos got me into the idea of wanting to start documenting my life and writing more and taking pictures and random videos. I have an autoimmune disease and it causes brain fog and there are parts of my life I totally don’t remember because of it so anyway! After finding you and seeing how you do this it really inspired me. Long story long lol I get what you mean by the videos feeling repetitive for yourself but for myself and I’m sure others watching i love it. Lol your videos are so calming and they’re interesting and I like hearing your ideas and the books you’re reading and just things about your life. Maybe a video on your favorite bands? Books? Shows/movies? Or things you like to collect or your favorite type of stationary? Or just hobbies you’re really into and why you got into them?

[@obscureghost27]

Always happy with your videos and look forward to them ! I think its interesting that you think your last couple of videos have been less interesting because watching your new journaling process has been so fun. It's also my first month in your Patreon community so I've been really enjoying the behind the scenes updates there too

[@catherinemauro]

It’s so funny you mentioned reading the cruel prince bc I was going to recommend it 😂 I’m currently doing my second read of the series bc I missed it after reading the stolen heir earlier this year. I haven’t read many fantasy books but this was the first series I read and the world is so good, I just love it so much. The hold this series has on me is ridiculous like I just cannot get enough of it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🤍

[@alsosmeli]

just read “tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow” and i loved it. Also currently reading the serpent and the wings of night which i think you’ll like, it’s basically a vampire tournament/romance lol 🩶

[@gabmatth]

i'm here for the realness lol, i watch because of it so i appreciate that your chats include disability talk also halloween is my favorite day so i wish every day was halloween, i'm here for it!

[@Cozyegg]

Love love love the everyday gloom idea!

[@czetalina]

your videos bring me so much peace I can't explain

[@mayakashisagan4025]

15:13 I love cari too

[@rj96141]

I’m so excited to see your zines when they come out! Thank you for talking about disability and how how it is having to relearn your normal all the time. It can be so exhausting. It’s really nice to hear some one else touch on it. ❣️

[@-lovecassy_333]

I don’t know if this book(s) would be up your alley, but a fantasy series I recently got and have been longing to read is Robin Hobbs first series: Farseer Trilogy. A lot of people love her books and rave about her character development and some characters are frustrating at times, but as they get older, you see their character development. I really love it and just haven’t had time to read it but once I’m done with my classes, I’m going to be stuck reading them. I hope this helps and just know we want you to be happy and safe, and your videos really help

[@lizzieblades]

I feel like I’m itching to have things to focus on, too. I keep blaming it on the transition to spring/summer. I also suffer from bipolar II disorder, so I get hypomanic and it makes my mind go above and beyond out of the blue. I hope your next projects provide some peace of mind!

[@My.Curiosities]

I read The spiderwick chronicles as a young adult and loved them. I was curious if her other series were as enjoyable, so now I'm really curious to read The cruel prince.

[@spectralrot]

to provide my perspective as a viewer, i return to your videos to see your creative process and to proverbially spend time with another person who shares my special interest of planners/commonplace books and is also chronically ill and disabled. although i learn lots from you, i don't come here for information, i come here for the immaculate vibes and body doubling with someone i relate to.

[@nadinebutler198]

You're doing fantastic, and all of this is so appreciated and wonderful.

[@_ladybird14]

Perfect timing, I wrote this comment before the video had reached the talking segment and now I just wanna say, this hits to my core, though I do know some source of my feeling weird and terrible but the part for always being weird and not have a not so great time almost turning into normal is just wow, words can't describe caz I felt that... Sending u energy. 🤍✨.

[@lizard7408]

I was so obsessed with my Spiderwick Chronicles field guide as a kid that I would sleep with it under my pillow 💀For book recommendations, Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo and Wilder Girls by Rory Power are some great spooky vibes

[@AshleyRebecca]

I love all the digital products! Absolutely so fantastic! Enjoy your ring planner!

[@darthvadis8448]

Maybe you have already read these since they are Sherlock Holmes books, but "The Classified dossier" series by Christan Klaver are really good! They are about Sherlock Holmes encountering fictional monsters such as Dracula or Dr jekyll and Mr Hyde. The greatest crossovers ever!❤

[@blackdrop8213]

I didn't have the spiderwick chronicle's field guide, BUT I did own a guide to pixie cultivation from the spiderwick chronickles (I think it only came out in Polish somehow?) and I took that book everywhere, including school and also got in trouble because of that

[@charmedvenuss]

Hey there! if you're into reading, there are readathons that happen in july that are halloween themed like Summerween that can totally justify the creation of out of season spooky things hehehehe

[@ashrambling]

Hi Megan, I have been recommending the Mirror Visitor Quartet to a lot ofpeople by Christelle Dabos, it's translated from French, I believe. But the world building in the first one is incredible. Also, in response of offering things in your videos, like metaphorically, my brain is okay even if it was nothing but you vibing and doing your usual things on a week to week. I think for me it is nice to know people exist in a similar way I do, where every day isn't spent running around town doing errands or something but is a slow, quiet at times life. in terms of ideas, if you'd be willing to give a bookshelf tour (moreso the books themselves as opposed to a literal bookshelf) or a desk tour those would ake my organizing obsessed brain go brr. just some thoughts, much love to you and Miss Wednesday

[@Nutritionbypaolao]

I loved Anatomy it reminded of one of my favorite movies. Currently reading the second book!

[@florriefightingale5161]

Book recs: white is for witching- Helen oyeyemi, girls against god- Jenny hval

[@nyghtlie]

i just wanted to offer some help. i know how hard it is to resize and deal with planner stuff in procreate. i found that when you are resizing elements if you tap one of the dots on the four corners you can type in the exact measurements. also you can activate magnetize and snapping with you click the arrow and then tap the snapping option at the bottom of the screen. that paired with the guide grid should help, if you dont know about that already and would benefit from the assistance. i’ve learned a few things in the past couple of days and literally had a meltdown until i found those options. i hope this helps! of course, let yourself rest and cry it out to get that built up energy out.

[@julie_uk_]

Yeah, weird times are my normal times, im not sure I'm ok with it all, maybe gradually

[@kan-zee]

Lots of good work...keep it up...spreading your creative inspirations to the world.

[@monieksvideos]

Love the Halloween zine idea; really you!

[@bujomurphy]

I've been super into They Drown Our Daughters, it's a gothic paranormal thriller/horror but some major trigger warnings apply. I personally am very invested in it and having a great time but I understand it could be a hard read.

[@alexlamiaart]

I really love your videos, and I look forward to them every week. We have a lot in common, and I feel less alone when I watch your videos. Do what feels right to you. And for book recommendations, I highly recommend “The Witching Hour” by Anne Rice. I finished it a few weeks ago and am currently reading “Lasher”, which is the second book in the series. The Vampire Chronicles (also by Anne Rice) is an amazing series (and a special interest of mine), but you’ve probably read some of them.

[@soakhkwn1646]

Omg the Spiderwick Chronicals had a CHOKEHOLD on me as a kid lol. I’m an insanely slow reader (I’m not sure why, maybe dyslexia but no clue lol) and I read the whole thing in like a week which is unheard of for me. I didn’t realize that the Cruel Prince series was by the same author! I just rewatched the movie adaptation of Spiderwick for like the billionth time the other day! I’m definitely giving it a go after I finish The Hunger Games :D

[@milomilox2]

Hi Megan, I'm not sure if you've read this series, (or watched it as it was a TV show) but I would really recommend lockwood and co. It's a awesome spooky series, I really enjoyed it, there's a lot more positive aspects of the book I'm just not good with words- anyway yeah. Lockwood & co: very cool

[@Michelle-kw8dc]

About videos: I would love to know how you go about ideating and creating your rings inserts. Making our own inserts is super fun and satisfying, but I always wonder how I'm making the decisions about what needs to be in there to make the page the best it can be. I'd love to know more about how you make decisions about designing your inserts.

[@E-smok]

Looking forward to the zine especially as a big fan of spooky

[@Lisatheecologist]

have you read The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman? it's a fantasy about an interdemensional library and one of the librarians who has to collect books to balance the universe. it references tons of weird cultural things and one of the characters is based on Sherlock Holmes.

[@mjllw2000]

I would recommend Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots.

[@atr0phaneura726]

I say YES to the Halloween zine in May ❤

[@julie_uk_]

Name for your filofax system: Bound Collectives, Keep It Here, Common Place Space

[@lithyena]

Some book recommendations: • rolling in the deep by mira grant • the wicked deep by shea ernshaw • legends and lattes by travis baldree • nightstrider by sophia slade • silver in the wood by emily tesh Also, thank you for your videos and being open about your struggles as an autistic person. As a fellow autistic I really admire it and makes me not feel so alone

[@sophiahodgson85]

My book recommendations: I loved Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse and now the second book called Fevered Star is out & I’m enjoying the second book too

[@finchwell]

I hope no one else has recommended this yet, I haven’t seen it in the comments, but have you read Mexican Gothic? I finished it recently and am obsessed with the spookiness and pacing. I really love you videos and am so happy to have found your content since I also am autistic and love planners. Thank you ❤

[@angeldevil73]

hi! a quick reading suggestion because im desperately trying to get everyone on this train: you should read the locked tomb series! it starts with gideon the ninth, and is chock full of necromancy and witticisms and it's a real twist of a joy to ride! :) its my Special Interest right now :)

[@gazingstars_]

hi megan 💙have you read the raven cycle series? it's an older YA series but it's one of my all-time favorites - lots of paranormal/fantasy elements, spooky vibes, and the best found family trope in my opinion! i think you might like it ~

[@sadielo98]

I love your videos how they are. Interesting and relaxing. 💗

[@isabellaj3499]

a reading rec - the earthsea trilogy!! the second book esp. has gothic energy (i read that one first lol )

[@NoodlePoodle1234]

Just wanted to kindly let you know coffee can create tremors and heighten anxiety. I used to drink coffee but I had to stop. It was horrible stopping but I’d never go back. I do still drink tea, it’s a gentler caffeine. I hope this helps 🖤

[@BlueRaven13]

Could you do a music collection? I would really like to see what Cd's, cassettes and Vinyls you have :)

[@paris-tuatea]

halloween is a year round celebration for me so i love and support your halloween zine dreams~~ for my book rec, have you ever tried the welcome to night vale series? it's a podcast series with like 3 or 4 books set in the same universe and it's very spooky and silly and philosophical in a way. i had a weird day just like yours not long ago and i did the same thing you did - rediscover a childhood special interest - i read some old deltora and power of five books and had a great time, also thank you for reminding me about my spiderwick chronicles phase - i have to go and find my field guide now 😊 oh also i'm not getting bored at all of your videos i look forward to them every week - if you want to mix it up a bit maybe it would be fun to see your bookshelves and music collection? it seems like you have good taste and i could get some recs from you

[@tungstensmum1491]

I just read Weyward by Amelia Hart. It just released in April so you’ve probably not read it. It’s following a family of nature-based “witches” through the generations, and one of the storylines in particular is quite gothic feeling, so I think this would hit all your vibes. I don’t always enjoy typical witch books (cauldrons and casting spells) and this book’s approach to witches in our world was refreshing and just very well done.

[@tungstensmum1491]

Also - I totally get what you’re saying about constantly coming to terms with your illness/disability. I’m almost 40 and by now I feel like I should have a better handle on what I need to do to not fall apart every few months/weeks. But I keep thinking I can push my limits.

[@pierceharte]

I’d love to hear about the ways you read: do you prefer the tactility of physical books or do you also read via ebooks or audiobooks? Do you rent the books more often/check out from the library or prefer to purchase?

[@shannonbuck1704]

I enjoyed Steven King’s ‘Fairy Tale’ quite a lot 🤍

[@monieksvideos]

Love the library cards; I might copy that idea. Ps only for personal use only of course

[@jennywren8614]

I've just finished reading Katherine Arden's 'Small Spaces Quartet', a middle grade series which def has some Goosebumps/Point Horror vibes and spooked me quite a lot! 😂 Def recommend. Thanks for the lovely vid as always ❤

[@benswololives9161]

I noticed some pages have writing as well as text! Do you sometimes type out your entries and print them? I want to start journalling but sometimes my chronic issues make me so tired I don't have the energy to write stuff out. But I like the idea of analog journalling and switching between handwritten/text. Though I feel like having the option to type entries out would help me stay more consistent 🤔

[@tamzinlittle5295]

The out of season zine sounds good 👻

[@mosaic2476]

completely relate to the weird feelings i think i was going to say something but my brain and body is tv static so i'll leave it at that

[@meganmacdonald1137]

the wolf and the huntsman by Ava Reid or the witches of New York by ami McKay

[@emilypantaleo]

Hi Megan, I’m sorry you’re in the horrors. I hope you have something as comforting as these videos are! ❤️ In terms of books, have you read The Once and Future Witches? It has a bit of that gothic undertone so you might enjoy. The Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy is a good read as well, especially the first book. Another favourite of mine is The Bone Witch Trilogy. The first book is heavy on the world building so it might be a bit slow, but it was a good time if you enjoy the witchy vibe. Oh, and this could be a hit or miss, have you read the Morganvile Vampire series? It’s a fun time, I know you were into those campy vampire books awhile back and this might scratch the same itch. I hope you feel a little bit more better soon!

[@kalasimsy2966]

i think you might like "piranesi" by samantha clarke, but its a kind of not much happens, only vibes book, also "rebecca" by daphne du maurier, "marina" by carlos luiz zafon and also the "Tunnels" series, but that last one is kind of for younger teens i would say, so idk if you are into that kind of books

[@BeccaBlasphemous]

I’ve always know these kind of books as 6ring binders or 6 ring journals if that helps

[@amywoolsey6591]

OMG Wednesdays 'lil look into the camera ❤❤❤❤

[@MaccAbbott]

Book recco!!! Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson, if you haven’t already read it Megan/ anyone in the comments, I highly recommend!!! There’s also some Sherlock Holmes references in it. it’s a really cozy murder mystery, dark academia, fun time with characters that I resonated a lot with. There’s 3 books in the series,I’ve on,y read the first but am about to start the second!

[@ladyindigo9835]

Your videos are spectacular! Now I love seeng you fill out your new planner! It is o beautiful! I can hardly wait to buy the printable! the gloomiest are great! It is always time to plan for next Halloween! A ne wzine would be great!

[@nikab9086]

abt your videos i don't mind seeeing similar stuff every week since i enjoy the routine of it but if u feel the need to switch up a bit that's great too :3 wouldn/'t mind seeing more q&a if u have enough questions coming or just more autism centric videos eventually if you ever want to would love to hear you talk abt your favourite books/shows/movies

[@akaFabulous]

If you like gothic, have you read Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia? The gothic atmosphere in that book is excellent!!

[@amalieprilucikova3820]

Not sure if this is good and valuable book recs but when it comes to YA that you perhaps might like, I guess I would say Lock & Mori by Heather W. Petty or the Gilda Joyce book series by Jennifer Allison. Idk why I have these on my mind, they just used to be my favorite YA books, sorry if it's useless 😅

[@Ednamode9929]

Hey, have you read any books by Kate Mosse? Have you managed to find more dot index stickers? Will you be restocking your physical shop items anytime soon?

[@AIiceMarie]

The Sin Eater and House of Hollow are both really good and kinda gothic (house of hollow is like semi-horror but withut being scary, it's like unsetlling; the sin eater is set in like 'old times' i guess (?) and is beautiful and haunting. Sorry if you've already read them and this is useless haha

[@Ariel_is_a_dreamer]

Book rec: Nevermoor: The trials of Morrigan Crow? I recommend this to everyone cuz it's my fav comfort read lol. It's a fantasy series about a little girl who is cursed and expecting to d1e at 11 years old, but instead she gets taken to a magical city called Nevermoor. It has found family and the protagonist is a gothic queen. There's halloween vibes at some point too.

[@raindropsandtulips3526]
