As you might've seen from my story posts, I'm very As you might've seen from my story posts, I'm very excited about the Lockwood and Co. TV series! I watched the first 2 episodes with my family and a friend yesterday, setting up the living room with green photography lights ('ghost lamps'), the 'thinking cloth', tea and donuts😁

It's 8 years since I read the first book and it became my favourite book series. To finally see it come to life on-screen yesterday was such a thrill and comfort at the same time. The books encompass those two feelings for me, as they balance spooky and cosy (which you can probably tell from my account is a combination I resonate with!). So, I did this little setup last week to capture that amidst my anticipation of the show. I made the skull-jar last year with green fairy-lights, cotton wool and a Halloween decoration, in a jar I found at a garden centre! He looks pretty ghostly in real-life😆

So far, I love how much the show is sticking to the books and enhancing some aspects! The portrayals of the characters are better than I could have hoped for. I was hoping it might be a bit spookier, taking longer to build suspense in the ghost scenes, but I'd rather it be less scary than the books than increased to horror-level😅
I'm so excited to watch more this evening, savouring each scene as I don't want the 8 episodes to be over!

Sorry to keep rambling about it🤭 Thank you to those who have shown such interest and are telling me their thoughts as they watch, even if they have mixed feelings. That's making my heart so happy!🥺 These three are my ultimate comfort characters, and stepping into that world, in whatever form, feels like home to me.

Is there an adaptation of a favourite book of yours that you adore? I'd love to hear about it!✨
Over the past few days, I've been reminded of the Over the past few days, I've been reminded of the sanctuary of this community. Instagram sometimes feels like an empty place, occasionally even a heartless one. We can feel like our art gets engulfed into a void, our hope with it - but here's the thing: if you post here and share your world... YOU are the heart. 

I've been thinking carefully about how I want to inhabit this space this year - not just my 'aesthetic' but how I use it. The nature of the app's workings can make it exhausting sometimes, but I'd like to suggest a shift of focus from the 'consuming' of content to the 'embracing' of content. Recently, as I was going back through old posts of mine and visiting the pages of others, I let the framework of Instagram fall away and just looked at the art. I marvelled at the photos of some of my favourite accounts and felt a reverence for the fact they took the time to share that.

Before Bookstagram, I'd never known what it was like to be surrounded by like-minded people who appreciate art deeply, who are passionate about writing and photography, who love finding vintage things and quoting movies and being inspired by fictional characters. I didn't know others who enjoyed the specifics of grammar and who felt like old souls. I never imagined I'd have friends who would write me letters that were as many pages long as the ones I like to write, who would dance with me randomly or send me a gift just because. Yet here, I've found that. So I'd like to remember this when I interact in this space. It's not "Instagram"; it's a meeting-place of kindred spirits. When you've found those accounts that make you feel at home, cosy and safe - tend to those and surround yourself with them. Then Instagram might just feel like the community you want it to be again.

Seeing your photos and reading your words enriches my life more than I can express, and when I see clusters of that wonder in the same place...magic happens. You and your art are important here - keep doing it and sharing it.

As the beginning of this year has felt like a warm hug for me because of that, I'm sending a warm hug to all of you❤️
This time last year I set an 'intention goal' for This time last year I set an 'intention goal' for 2022, choosing the phrase "quality over quantity", to focus on value and depth. Aside from having to read a lot in a short time for uni (breadth rather than depth), I definitely feel that this year was one of quality and depth; contemplation and warmth - in friendships, in family and in the things I was doing.

📝My goals for next year include being more organised with projects and uni work, trying to schedule and balance them better, instead of spending too long on one and running out of time for the rest.
🎨I'd like to set more time aside for writing and art. I hardly painted this year and I've missed it.
📷When it comes to Instagram, I've enjoyed the posts I did this year, being less critical of them - but I'd like to continue that even more in 2023. I hope to focus on community and connection over whatever this app is doing nowadays😂 - looking to the small but important things, as opposed to the big commercial ones.

So, that speaks to my 'intention goal' for 2023: Moments

Moments over materials,
Moments in messiness
Moments of meaning

It's cliché, but life is made up of moments - so if we can find meaning in each moment, we have a meaningful life.

I so often feel like I'm 'catching up with myself', but I also try to enjoy the moment even if it's one where I'm halfway through something. This year, that was often *being ill*, so I missed time - but that's okay; there's next year. We're always halfway through SOMETHING - that's life! It's the substance that keeps our day-to-day ticking over. But instead of thinking 'after I've done this, THEN I'll be sorted', I'd like to embrace the messiness and really enjoy the steps of a process over focusing on the end goal.
It makes me think of a Hook quote from Once Upon A Time, where he says "There is always a crisis. Perhaps you should consider living your life during them, otherwise you might miss it."

So, I hope 2023 brings you good moments alongside all the messiness that can come with life; moments of calm, moments of meaning, moments of excitement, contentment and peace. 

Farewell 2022! Here's to the next one🕯️

What is your 'intention goal' for 2023?💕

I know experiences of this day vary greatly, as all have different circumstances and associations with the season. However, if you celebrate, I wish you a fun and festive day filled with the magic of childhood. I've felt that today; eating chocolate before breakfast, staying in my pyjamas all day, and rewatching 'Mickey Mouse's Once Upon A Christmas'.
If you don't celebrate, or if the celebrations look a little different for you, I wish you warmth and comfort and the gentle hope of a new year to come.

We're about to have our Christmas dinner, then watch a festive film✨

Winter wishes, Enchanted folk☃️

How have you spent the day?☕🎄🕯️
Posting even though it's late in the evening, beca Posting even though it's late in the evening, because I still enjoy the creative moment of putting a photo and caption together, regardless of the changing landscape around us here. I've always loved how it marks an instant of time, and I can usually remember how I was feeling and what was going on at the time I posted each photo. They're like stepping stones in a memory map.

With the end of the year drawing near, I always like to reflect a little.
I've just been looking back at my feed and seeing which posts were my favourite; gathering inspiration from them for next year, and reminiscing on the time that has passed. It feels like I've been on here a long time, but really it's just over 2 years, and I feel like so many positive things have come of being in this community. 

Sometimes we can be critical of ourselves, but when we look back and see how far we've come, we see how valuable each of those steps was. I still cringe at reading back my own words sometimes, or raise an eyebrow at the colours I chose for an edit - but ultimately, I'm glad I did it anyway, because now I can look back and be inspired by my past creativity.

Wishing you a cosy Christmas Eve tomorrow💕🎄

I've been wanting to create in video format for a while - imagining cosy settings and stories and visuals I could put together. Finally, I've made an 8-minute narrated video and it's a kind of recap of October and November, along with ponderings about life, art and writing.

I'm savouring these days of cosy Christmas lights, I'm savouring these days of cosy Christmas lights, sweet marshmallows in hot chocolate, writing at sunset, enthused creative discussions, sketching with half-worn pencils, hugs in knitted jumpers, and reading friends' enchanted words into the frosty moonlit evenings.

Bright creativity has seized me this week, as though in a bid to progress with as many projects as possible before the end of the year. It helps that uni has finished for the semester, although I have 3 pieces of coursework I'm working on for January. Other than that, I've been enjoying the flurry of happenings that approaching Christmas brings, and looking forward to the festivities!

I wish you all cosiness, fulfilment and joy this season🎄

What are some cosy things that you've been enjoying recently? How are you finding December so far?💕
If you've also been watching Wednesday, you'll be If you've also been watching Wednesday, you'll be familiar with this dance scene🦇 Naturally, I had to have a go at recreating it. The fact it's set at a ball was rather fitting, as when I watched episode 4 I was attending a winter ball the next day! 

So, yesterday evening before my friends and I got ready, I watched through the clip and tried following along a handful of times until I had it pretty much memorised, so here you go😂 We only had time for 2 takes before I had to change into my outfit for the ball (a black skirt and top with black boots, obviously), so this is the second take. I missed a couple of bits (like a cool spin she does) and got the wrong side a few times, which is why I've flipped the picture in places to match up, trying to mirror the camera angles as well.

It's a fun little routine! It felt strange keeping such a neutral expression throughout, but Jenna does that so well. I love how much gumption she gives it. If I did it again I'd be freer with some of the movements - and maybe dress up like she is! Anyway, here's an authentic snapshot of me procrastinating getting ready by dancing. (Thanks Grace for filming, Danny for the 'studio', and both of you for putting up with this without questioning it😂❤️)

🌳What are we when we're no longer what we are? 🌳What are we when we're no longer what we are?

(Prompted by this line from my book draft, in the picture)

A sort of sprawling question this, but do you consider our life-force to be in the body, the mind, the heart...anywhere at all? Is that 'aliveness', the "spark of being" as Mary Shelley called it in Frankenstein, the same thing as our personhood, our soul - or are they stored in different places?

I find it interesting that the classic line for when Frankenstein's monster awakens is "It's alive!" - making the creature both an 'it' (like an inanimate/inhuman object), but also 'alive' (because it's moving?) What makes a creation 'alive'?

For a uni project I did recently on Victorian fears, I was reading about Materialism (the belief that the body is just what it is with no separate soul), Dualism (that the body and soul are 2 separate entities) and Vitalism (that there is a 'vital spark' which means we're alive, which some view as part of/the same as the soul).

I'm not sure that I believe our soul stays behind after death, but I do see the soul as being a disembodied combination of our mind, feelings and personhood that I visualise as a sort of grey-matter energy floating around our torso. I see the spark of life as a glowing white energy at the top of our head, the mind (thought) as a blue glow in our brain, the heart (feeling) as a red glow in our chest, and the gut (instinct) as a yellow glow in our lower abdomen. Then the concept of 'spirit' is the whole body aglow with ivory light. It's an abstract image and I'm not sure why I picture it like that when I'm thinking about the different localisations, but there you go! Maybe it's influenced by images of the chakras in meditation?

If it sounds crazy, feel free to just nod and scroll by😂 But if you have your own ways of visualising this too, or different beliefs and ideas, please do share them if you'd like to! I'd love to hear your take.

Are you more of a Halloween or Christmas person?

Christmas will always be so magical and special to me, but Halloween is my favourite by a fraction - I just love the atmosphere and mystery of it. Bizarrely, I still haven't seen The Nightmare Before Christmas even though I know some of the songs well. I'm thinking it's a perfect watch for this time in between the holidays.

November is always a bit of a limbo time, while the Christmas celebrations brew. For those in the US, Thanksgiving probably helps bridge that gap! I'm starting to feel the festive atmosphere now, so I'll probably be ready for Christmassy things in a week or so. In the meantime, I'm going to bask in spookiness a little longer.

Do you start Christmas as early as possible, or keep Halloween going for as long as you can? Or perhaps you don't celebrate either?

I'm definitely a 'Halloween-through-November' person. If I started Christmas stuff too early I'd be sick of it before halfway through December😂
Some Pinterest-esque aesthetics for you✨ (say th Some Pinterest-esque aesthetics for you✨ (say that five times fast😂)

I was tagged by @chronicles.of.a.bookworm and @the_sick_rose_ for this fun idea!

1) My Instagram
2) My aesthetic
3) Favourite colour
4) Outfits
5) Bonus aesthetic

I have quite a few favourite aesthetic styles so I find it a bit tricky to condense them all into one, but this was fun to do! On Pinterest I've got a board full of sections with really specific nuances of aesthetics like "Vintage Woodland Explorer" or "Victorian Gothic Vampire", and it was interesting how I ended up saving most of these from a few particular sections! The ones most involved in my aesthetic are:

"Gothic Fairytale"
"Victorian Farm Witch"
"Witchy Academia"
"Fairytale Fantasy"

Would you say your aesthetic overlaps with any of those? Which most strongly?

I've tagged a few, but any and all consider this permission to do the challenge! I'd love to see your iterations🕯️

What would your peculiarity be? - Super-strength What would your peculiarity be?

- Super-strength
- Invisibility (at will)
- Ability to float (and breathe underwater)
- Emit flames from your hands
- Transform into a falcon
- See the monsters

I think I'd pick transforming into a falcon at will, so long as it wasn't too painful and I could be sure to stay away from cats and suchlike!

Miss Peregrine's Home is one of my favourite films - it's so comforting to me despite (and probably because of) being spooky. Is there comfort in strangeness?

I've always enjoyed stories where the characters have their own strangeness but are accepted into a found-family, a school or society - things like X-Men, The Umbrella Academy, The Avengers, The School for Good and Evil, Nevermoor, Lockwood & Co.

I'm looking forward to watching 'Wednesday' soon, as it seems to fit into that category.
