1. Something your favorite character would like
If I had to pick a favorite YOI character, it would probably be Yuuri, but I'm not sure what he'd think of what I've done with the laces of my skates:

I do headcanon that he secretly wants to customize his skates like Victor has but hasn't yet felt able to do so, so maybe he'd think it was nice that I've done something to mine, even if it's just swapping the laces.
2. Something that makes you laugh
The nameless figure skating photobomber of 1913:
3. A fandom place you would like to visit
There's an envelope in the top drawer of my desk, postmarked from Canada, full of our tickets to Worlds :)
4. A fandom creator (pro or not) you'd like to meet & 5. Something you find comforting
I loved the Bartimaeus series growing up, and I also enjoyed Stroud's Lockwood series. Part of it was the worldbuilding, a big part of it for the Bartimaeus series was Bart's personality, and part of it was also the writing style, which I think had an early influence on me. So if he ever comes to visit on this side of the pond again, I'd love to go to a book signing. Although my original books are back home, and all I have with me are my Japanese copies, so that would be a bit interesting lol. Unfortunately, they have less lovely covers than the English version of the series - all of them are a plain color plus small illustrations like this one on the side of the box set:

And posing on top of the box set, these two stuffed yaks my mom got for me for my birthday, which are made by Tibetan women in Dharamsala, are very cozy to pet since they're made with wool. They've been especially nice to have around these last few days when we've had a decent bit of snow. All of it is going to be melting overnight/tomorrow, but if we get any more, maybe I should try taking some pictures of them in the snow for more practice with my camera.
