(Anonymous) 2024-05-20 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)Mine used to be reading fic, but I've been without a fandom now and it just doesn't hit right reading random fic. I need that character connection for it to work I guess.

Re: Comfort
(Anonymous) 2024-05-20 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)The LOTR movies if I have the time, everything about them soothes me like little else does. And a few Disney movies that hit the right spot, Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, Enchanted, and some more I can't remember off the top of my head right now.
I don't often re-read books if I want something comforting as I don't tend to have the brain-space for reading, but I will grab the Theif of Time sometimes.

(Anonymous) 2024-05-20 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)Also I tend to go through cycles of re-listening to music I've been into depending on what kind of 'low' I'm feeling: Like my random Musical numbers playlist, a playlist of anime theme songs/tunes I've had since 2005, Evanescene/Linkin Park or very recently I had been fixated on Steam Powered Giraffe's first few albums (Favorite is still Vice Quadrant part 1 & 2).

Books: Tamora Pierce's Keladry books. Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books (though that has it's own scale because some of them are godawful and some are excellent and most are thoroughly mediocre in a way that appeals to my nostalgia as the preteen who started off reading Talia's Arrows trilogy).
Games: Harvest Moon games, back when they were Harvest Moon and not Story of Seasons. Friends of Mineral Town remains my fav. version and I still have it on PS1.

(Anonymous) 2024-05-20 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)I just recently decided to reread the Tortall books in order. I was surprised at how much of a struggle some of Alanna's books were to get through, reminded myself how much I hate the last of Daine's books, but damn if Kel doesn't 110% hold up and fill me with joy and satisfaction.
Have you read the latest Valdemar books? The ones about the forming of Valdemar? I haven't yet but I heard they were good, not like some of the lackluster later books.
Re: Comfort
(Anonymous) 2024-05-21 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)I really like the first Daine book but the rest of the series is kind of meh to me. The first is great though. The Alanna ones are fun but also ROUGH so I reread them only when I'm in the mood for nostalgia rather than actual good writing. Kel's books are peak excellence though and I reread them frequently!
I have read the first two of the founding of Valdemar books. I enjoyed the first one but the second one has dethroned the Silver Gryphon as my personal worst of the books she's written ever. I have the third one but I haven't started it yet because the second one was such a terrible disappointment to me.

Sometimes movies, but usually tv. LOTR, Star Wars, MCU, How to Train Your Dragon mostly for movies. If I really have the time and am in a really bad place, especially LOTR.
I used to read a lot more than I do now. I guess because I read so much for work. Fun reading is less of a thing unless I'm on vacation.
