Being able to make friends with people all over the world who like the
same T.V shows and films as me has also been a great distraction having people
to get excited about is always fun even being in small ransoms and doing it
alone is also great fun. Being
housebound means you don’t get a lot, you have little fun see the same people
day in day out to be able to have excitement over something even something
small like a TV show getting picked up or getting another season or films
getting released becomes a massive deal.
My faverouite thing to do right now is to try to watch films before there sequels
come out, read or listen to books before watching their films. Its given me a
massive reading/listening list but that excites me more than anything.
I got to the point of not being
able to write but I found I could make art.
I started with actual posters then moved on to try to create my own
posters which gave me a lot of joy as well as also giving me something to do,
its also something I would like to take further if I ever get the chance. I’ve
also done quite a lot of lyric video editing again not only giving me something
to do but I really enjoy doing it. I’m also hoping to take that further,Iv’e
done all this alone and off my own back experimenting with different things to
see what works. I know what works now
but its very simple so I would like to make it more complicated and make them
more interesting as some of them are
quite boring to watch so with my next ones I plan to do more experimenting and
see if I can better myself in any way.
it’s not just the films & T.V its the people in them or who work on
them, I have tons of idols all for different reasons, the internet gives you power to watch interviews
& find out things that you wouldn’t have been able to do years ago.
Watching Celebrities live videos or youtube videos allows you to get to
know them & it also gives you the power to be able to have your art noticed
by the people playing your favourite characters
I did Dressember in December, one of my posts was a picture of me
playing tennis the caption being “ dressember day 11 this is probably 1 of the
best dressember photos I have, I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome which leaves me wheelchair bound most of the
time so being able to play bat & ball was a really big deal for me” I
didn’t want to make it to long because I felt like I didn’t really need to and
no one really wants to read a massive assay on my life whilst scrolling through
IG.
My post was then commented on by 1 of the organisers and re posted on
the Dressember their caption on the
repost was “Out inspiration today comes from @blue.ayed.swan_ for how she is
using the dressember style challenge to prove to herself that you can do
anything in a dress” this will always stick out to me because I was really
scared of posting about my illness on my fan account I’m not sure why probably
mostly because its a fan account but this made me feel so much better about
myself just the fact that people who didn’t even know me seemed to partly
understand me & how hard I was trying.
Part of my story was also posted on the Swan princess website in on of
there blogs talking about all the art and lyric videos I was making, this gave
me a lot of confidence that I didn’t have before ,encouraged me to keep going
and gave me a sense of pride that I really didn’t have before. I struggle with
confidence a great deal but this really did boost me up
When anyone comments on any of my edits it gives me such a boost, just
to feel people are enjoying them means the world especially when they have
taken a really long time to make.
I’m completely obsessed with fairytales/fantasy stories which hasn’t
helped a great deal in one way but in another its been such a blessing. I began
to watch Once upon a time about a year and a half ago, its made me laugh &
cry so much but given me so much hope for my own life. Especially the character
of Emma, Emma lives half her life alone with hardly anyone around her Henry
finds her then brings her to Storybrooke where she finds her family but also
realizes she’s a hero which is something she struggles to except. At the start
of the show Emma has no confidence at all but she starts to believe in
herself by the end of series 6 she’s
married pregnant and she knows who she is and has finally stopped being scared
of it. Another once character who is one of my favourite’s is Regina/the evil
queen . Regina finds a way to except and make up for her past mistakes
I mostly watch Children’s T.V including Hetty Feather, The worst Witch,
the dumping ground and various others when they happen to be on being ill has
made me more emotional as a person I also now get stressed a lot more easily so
the only half dramatic shows I can watch are ones made for children as I can
cope with the drama elements and they don’t effect me to much if at all. I also
love watching anything with Dominic Littlewood that man has been through this
journey with me yet we haven’t ever met his shows have kept me sane and weirdly
given me a education even if its not the curriculum. Its still been learning.
At Christmas I watched a lot of cooking shows or factory shows showing you how
things are made which I also really loved. I also watched every series of
Miranda which I really enjoyed.
Lately I’ve been trying to watch all the old classic Disney films, I
watched a documentary on Walt Disney and it was interesting hearing about all
the old stuff that I don’t really remember because I watched them so young,
this makes resting (the thing I hate most) interesting. Most of them are so
clever to their time especially Mary
Poppins with the animation within the real images, it wasn’t the greatest
animation but for that time it was pretty amazing.
I spend hours listening to T.V and film sountracks,they make me so
happy and just music in general I tend to listen to the same things over and
over but I really love 5SOS and they make me laugh so much which makes me
forget everything that’s going on.
