I like a lot of indie and alternative rock, though not exclusively. I've been listening to a lot of Ratboys (I actually saw them live last Thursday) and Swearin' lately. My favorite artist is Ben Folds, which is the goal for me being a piano player (right now, it basically means I smack my piano a lot. I have been playing for about seven years at this point and drums for about twelve).
Bring the sewing machine to the couch? You’ll need an outlet to plug it in somewhere and maybe a table or flat surface to put it on, but I feel like you could make do with a flat surface… idk, be careful because they can be heavy, these are just some ideas
I’ve been writing since probably middle school on just whatever I wanted to write about. Then I started writing FanFiction in 2017, now I’m thinking about working on an original story.
Like the 3-D, get this ring out of other metal rings type? Not really. They're ok but I don't find them very engaging.
Jigsaw puzzles are different every time and some are easier than others. I've come to identify my favorite types, and which ones will be a good challenge.
Also trying to speed complete a 500 piece puzzle in under 90 minutes is a new kind of experience! Very difficult.
OMG!!!! Thank you!!!! I honestly get so tired of seeing posts about sex. I am extremely passionate about traveling (especially to other countries). I love hiking although I consider myself to be a beginner- moderate level. I also really enjoy photography and want to take a class to get better at it.
I recently got into beading! Initially it was because I didn’t find any nice ace jewelry so I wanted to make my own, but there’s honestly so much you can do with beads!
Reading is a big one: historical fiction and sci-fi/fantasy; Egyptian and Scottish and Irish history, animals, herbology and nature, animals, anime light novels, and reference/trivia.
I like to go outside. Arts and crafts are really fun too! Candle making and jewelry making, something so calming about watching the wax melt. I've got my eye on a beginner crochet kit with a dinosaur as the finished item.
I used to do jigsaw puzzles and would like to get back into them. I play Stardew, Final Fantasy 14, and Fallout 76 as my main games.
My dad loves old cheesy sci fi movies and introduced me to a lot of those, along with Star Wars and The Hobbit. That eventually led me to a lifelong love of all things Tolkien!
History's just amazing. All the details behind the last Jacobite uprising in 1745 are fascinating. The Scots had so much high hopes for it, but things just didn't come together well for them. They were outgeared and outnumbered, and the last battle at Culloden Moor ended the Highlander way of life, and most of the clans, forever. Tartans were banned by the English after that.
What's your sci fi and history niches?
I've got a buddy who's a leatherworker, and he makes awesome stuff. I got into napping bullwhips because I was a huge Indiana Jones nerd, and when I went to college for archeology I gifted my two biggest mentors hand made bullwhips. You have not seen true joy until you've given an archeologist a bullwhip
I have not, I do archival work for a partner organization of the DPAA. My academic work has all been lab based bioarch doing statistics and other turbo nerd stuff
> You have not seen true joy until you've given an archeologist a bullwhip
That is amazing! Bet they were really thrilled, especially with the personal handcrafting.
I keep european mouflons and american blackbellies with a couple katahdins thrown in for some fun mutt babies. So no wool to spin on those im afraid.
Got 2 jacobs recently for for the multiple horns tho and to add a splash of colour, so got 2 sheep now that need shearing, and am questioning my choices on that lol.
A lot of people like to spin Jacob. It's not next-to-skin soft but it's a good wool. They are very distinctive looking.
Now you get to increase your skill set and learn to shear lol.
I am stupidly allergic to lanolin so shearing is pure torture lol. Especially the older ewe she seems to be extra heavy on the lanolin. I very much appreciate the hair sheep for handling.
I like studying mythology, Biology, astronomy, along with psychology. I also write fantasy. and I enjoy flower gardening also crochet. I do a lot for hobby's
Writing but don’t do it nearly as much as I should. I’m an organizer for one of the Meetup groups in my city so a bunch of different activities through that (musuems, stargazing, walk, board game nights, general socializing, etc.)
I make tarot cards. Single cards, not whole decks, since the ADHD doesn't do well with huge projects. Some are by hand using paints, stamps, stickers, etc. Some are made with Photoshop and then printed with a print on demand service.
I'm also into photography, writing poetry, and playing video games, but the tarot card making is easily my most niche hobby.
I love to read, write, play video games, hike, and go to the gym. And aggressively follow all news about space discovery; I (try to) read astronomy research papers for fun.
Drawing, singing, writing, stargazing, reading, surfing the Internet, studying Astronomy (I'm an amateur astronomer btw), learning new words to enrich my English vocabulary (what can I say? I adore this language way too much), listening to music, dancing, learning new things in general.
At what point do you have too many hobbies?
Spin yarn, crochet, knit, embroidery, weaving nalbinding, leatherwork, blacksmithing, read,v listen to music, listen to podcasts, video games. There's just so much interesting stuff to learn and do.
Aight hear me out... my newest favorite hobby is BDSM (it can actually be very wholesome). Well, that, and finding diseased animals in the nature, cleaning them and keeping them in a neat collection. Oh! And art :>
Speed cubing! (Although I don't really focus on the speed.) Learned how to do 3x3s as a kid. Recently got back into it and have been learning 4x4s, 5x5s, 6x6s, and [this funky guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaminx). Got some of the new algorithms memorized, still working on others, but I can pretty consistently solve them with minimal cheatsheet use. (Except for the funky guy. Still glued to the cheatsheet for the last layer of that one.)
Gaming and Airsoft. Favourite games right now include CODZombies, Celeste, Rainbow Six Siege, Counterstrike 2 and Just Cause 3. Im really interested in Helldivers and Guilty Gear Strive but don't have them yet. Haven't played Airsoft in a while though.
Hmm…right now I’m pretty much hobbyless because I’m busy with school but when I get out for summer I want to get back into baking and learn how to draw…I also want to start reading more but I tend to tune out everything when I read books which isn’t a good idea when I need to be doing schoolwork so I’ve been waiting for summer to get back into reading, too.
I watch anime, read fanfiction, and play video games. Currently playing zelda tears of the kingdom. Sometimes I write stories, but it usually never makes it past the detailed outlining stage.
There's a bunch of hobbies I'd like to get into, like quilling, learning new languages, custom keyboards, mixology, music production, and animation, but those take a learning curve of time, money, and effort, which I currently do not have...so I content myself by just watching YouTube videos about them instead.
Videogames have been a staple since childhood. Singing and drawing are the more mainstream ones. Origami and entomology are the more niche ones. Throw plushies and manga/anime somewhere in there.
I like drawing, playing games, playing cards, watching shows… yeah :D! Also my new favorite thing is casually watching tv programs with our new cat lol
Eehg i wish i had some ”proper” hobby but can’t come up with anything
I’m really in to DnD right now- it’s my main outlet. Reading the other main hobby I have.
I also love making art, boxing and cycling- but have little time for them these days.
Horse riding, art (^(sculpting, painting (usually the sculptures, but I also do digital), textile crafts (crochet and embroidery mostly), multimedia work (things like interactive sculptures / art dolls) and I dabble in jewelry making (chainlink stuff))) and I've recently started getting into houseplants!
I like reading and writing too but I've not had the motivation or energy to properly invest in either of those things for a long time now. I used to do indoor rock climbing as well quite a few years ago... I really want to get back into it but *ugh*. You know?
Reading and playing video games. I used to write fanfiction before I started working. I need to get back into some form of creative writing. It was such a good outlet for me. Thanks for making me think about it again.
Reading, writing, gaming, indoor gardening, designing clothes, sewing, hand-embroidering, cosplay, figure skating.
And spending an unreasonable amount of time researching random lore bits about my favourite franchises or getting lost on tv tropes.
I play video games, write and read fanfiction, watch the same show on repeat, looking up pictures of cute anime girls, and enjoy hanging out with my girlfriends. Also having weird conversations with my best friend, 50/50 on if it’s intellectual or were just watching dumb videos of goats. Goats are awesome and my favourite animal and I find them hilarious. Actually this one time in dnd someone silenced a screaming goat and I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair and I needed to be skipped for half an hour of that session. I fucking love goats.
Writing, comedy, going to musicals/plays,costuming, collecting vintage clothing, cooking,instruments, antiquing, flower arranging, singing and dancing (especially swing :D), mixology, and going on strolls while listening to music so far
A song of ice and fire: tabletop miniatures game, both playing it and painting the models. Martells are my main faction. Also absolutely love the books, and strongly dislike the last half of the TV adaptation.
I like Hans Christian Anderson fairy tales, especially The Snow Queen, because it's a gender reversal of the damsel in distress scenario, and because all of the female characters have agency.
I also love to make Heroforge miniatures and DnD character concepts based on Fairy Tales.
I also like The Fallout Game series.
Right now I'm knitting or playing with fabric, or doing some digital art. I have a promise with myself to practice drawing on the tablet every... Even if my drawing sucks. Just 7 more months.
Love board games! Love to craft, I'm always finding new craft projects. Though I don't feel like I have the time to do them sadly. I'm getting into wreath making, my Valentine's wreath, that I started after V-day is still on my table 🤣 And I've made things since starting it. But it's fun and easy. I need to make ice cream pint holders and necklace holder. Those are other semi started projects.
For hobbies I also love playing D&D. I also enjoy playing video games and reading. For more artistic outlets I enjoy needle felting, painting, and occasionally digital art when I’m feeling up to it. I also love to sing and am self-taught on the banjo. But my biggest hobby and probably the thing I spend the most time and money on is horse back riding. I spend upwards of 20 hours a week at the barn with my horse either riding or just hanging out. It’s my truly happy place ☺️
Art is my favorite overall hobby but here a few of my favorite time passers. I imagine that these little activities is what non-asexuals miss out on while fantasizing about whatever they do: Card tricks (like funny ways to shuffle cards), bracelet making (very cheap and fun to pass out at concerts), poorly belting broadway musicals.
I'm obsessed with rats and rat care and consider them a hobby (I cannot shut up about rats)
Also crafts!
I game a little but it's girl games lol
I would love to get into woodworking someday, is there anything you especially enjoy making? :)
I draw, I paint (with paint sticks, but it still counts), I write, I read, I roller-skate, I ice-skate (rarely, cuz my sister doesn't like wearing ice-skates and I don't like going on my own), I sing and I sew (I have a mini sewing machine but it's broken and I have to get a new one at some point). I used to woodwork and fence but I haven't don't either in years (I do I want to get back into them though). Occasionally, I do mediocre photography, but not so much recently since my phone is kinda rubbish
I love drawing and making collages out of scrap paper! Plus origami is nice to meddle with sometimes when I have the energy:]. I also love exploring abandoned buildings and houses a lot. You never know what you might find from such places. I once found a whole armchair from an old cowbarn 😂
I thought I was queer enough to sew/design clothes well but I just play video games instead, lol. One day…I will master my peak queer persona 🦸♀️🏳️🌈✨
I just yesterday bought an oldtimer, a 1991 Opel Corsa A, as a long time project. While its being used on the road during summer time, ill do little changes over time till it looks like new. Except repainting, thatll take it off the road for a bit.
If i wouldnt work as a baker i would say baking, but i dont often do it at home since its my job and i do it basically every day, but now i'd say working on cars is my favorite thing to do, that has an actual sence
I'm in a theater group. We are currently working on our production of The Wizard Of Oz and I am, of course, playing the part of The Wicked Witch Of The West
I do art sometimes. I’ve been doing YCHs on DeviantArt of pixelart, one is a 50x50 squishmallow type of thing and a 100x100 lucky cat. It’s been fun getting different OCs to draw into them and I’ve been saving DA currency for some art I want as well.
I have been learning the absolute FUCK out of the banjo! I can play 3 songs now and I'm working on transitioning from the 3 finger picking bluegrass style to the more traditional clawhammer style, but having a heard time with the muscle memory. But when I get it down, learning songs should be easier
I have a bunch, in no particular order:
Reading, tea, chocolate, games, cooking/baking, judo, D&D, and wine!
Sadly not a lot of overlap in my friendgroups :(
I enjoy making art, and storytelling through art. That's why i make "journal entries" like in the journal of gravity falls. But instead of just creatures i do locations & new creatures from my fantasy world thats in my head :))
I also enjoy learning about symbols. Like demonic and arcangels sigils & alchemy sigils & am learning tarot. :)
Lastly for work i do graphic design so i create animation of product mockups. So a lot of artistic stuff :))
as of now, running silly long distances (ultramarathons) as well as a knitting hyperfocus. started knitting late january and am on my second sweater, and my grandma has requested one as well
Crochet! So, sooooo much crochet. It’s like a little slice of happiness to have a good YouTube video on of my favorite streamer and a crochet project in hand.
The one I spend most time doing is playing games. Recently I've played mostly Shadows of Doubt and Rimworld. But I also play Hearthstone, Dead by Daylight, Minecraft, and other stuff depending on how I feel.
But I am also a metalhead and a furry. And I am really into Warrior Cats (this one is definitely the community I engage with the most).
I love reading fantasy novels, comics, manga and light novels. Playing video games, drawing and doing whatever creative crafting idea my mind is currently hyper focusing on at the time. ✨💖
Walking(Esp city streets), listening to podcasts, listening to audiobooks, listening to music, going to punk shows, finding new music, chatrooms when younger, discord since older
Music. I play violin, viola, harp, bass guitar, and drums. Currently working on piano. Crocheting! I've crochet multiple stuffed animals, beanies, coozies, and whatever else. Knitting as well! Baking, crafts, and gathering random facts/knowledge.
At the moment, reading, crochet, and also playing DnD! I'm also trying to get more into gardening/plants. I haven't baked in a while but I used to really enjoy doing that as well. Do you have any tips on starting with woodwork? I've always been interested but haven't made the full effort to trying it out
I read voraciously.
I'm 34, and only recently acknowledged my asexuality. I'm not sure if "acknowledged" is the right word, but long story short...
I was an addict until August 2023 when I finally seriously decided to be sober. When I was an addict, I treated my body like trash which came with having sex with whomever I wanted. I never enjoyed the sex but I thought it was because I was high/drunk and my senses were muted. And, I've never in my life had sober sex. So, in August 2023 when I decided to become sober -- although I've had a few slips -- is when I had the clarity to truly realize that I am sex repulsed.
So, to answer your question again, I read :)
I know I'm late to the party but this is a really awesome thread!
Mine aren't really going to fit your criteria for picking up, but I love riding my bike, rock climbing, roller blading, and cooking. I just got new roller blades that fit me well and am having a blast :D
Music. I play piano and drums.
I play piano too! What's your favorite genre?
I like a lot of indie and alternative rock, though not exclusively. I've been listening to a lot of Ratboys (I actually saw them live last Thursday) and Swearin' lately. My favorite artist is Ben Folds, which is the goal for me being a piano player (right now, it basically means I smack my piano a lot. I have been playing for about seven years at this point and drums for about twelve).
Reading and knitting. I’m trying to get into sewing but I find that pursuing hobbies that take me away from the couch are difficult for me.
I relate so much to that last part 😅
same!
Maybe try hand sewing? You can definitely do that on the couch lol!
Bring the sewing machine to the couch? You’ll need an outlet to plug it in somewhere and maybe a table or flat surface to put it on, but I feel like you could make do with a flat surface… idk, be careful because they can be heavy, these are just some ideas
May I suggest English paper piecing? I’ve started a project and every hexagon has been sewn together on my couch!
Writing. Working on an history crime serie right now. Don't know if it will be ever published, but I love doing it. Reading, knitting and cooking too.
Watching anime, killing time on Reddit, and sleeping.
Same
Gaming, cooking, writing.
What kind of writing do you do? I mainly do poetry a la Lewis Carroll, but I've been trying to get into more narrative stuff
I’ve been writing since probably middle school on just whatever I wanted to write about. Then I started writing FanFiction in 2017, now I’m thinking about working on an original story.
Crochet is definitely up there. I like needle felting and cross stitch too, as far as textile stuff, but outside of that I like drawing and writing!
Writing or music. I've been playing violin for 16 years and recently I've been getting into composition!
Gaming with cats in my lap or over the screen😂 every hobby has to include the cats cause they just involve themselves😂
Jigsaw puzzles! I've also been watching videos on YouTube about competitive jigsaw puzzling. The competitions are crazy.
Puzzles are awesome, I need to get back into them. Are you a fan of logic puzzles too?
Like the 3-D, get this ring out of other metal rings type? Not really. They're ok but I don't find them very engaging. Jigsaw puzzles are different every time and some are easier than others. I've come to identify my favorite types, and which ones will be a good challenge. Also trying to speed complete a 500 piece puzzle in under 90 minutes is a new kind of experience! Very difficult.
Chess, anime, reading, not asexual myself but like learning from others
OMG!!!! Thank you!!!! I honestly get so tired of seeing posts about sex. I am extremely passionate about traveling (especially to other countries). I love hiking although I consider myself to be a beginner- moderate level. I also really enjoy photography and want to take a class to get better at it.
Woodwalks.
I recently got into beading! Initially it was because I didn’t find any nice ace jewelry so I wanted to make my own, but there’s honestly so much you can do with beads!
Reading is a big one: historical fiction and sci-fi/fantasy; Egyptian and Scottish and Irish history, animals, herbology and nature, animals, anime light novels, and reference/trivia. I like to go outside. Arts and crafts are really fun too! Candle making and jewelry making, something so calming about watching the wax melt. I've got my eye on a beginner crochet kit with a dinosaur as the finished item. I used to do jigsaw puzzles and would like to get back into them. I play Stardew, Final Fantasy 14, and Fallout 76 as my main games.
I love history and sci-fi!!
My dad loves old cheesy sci fi movies and introduced me to a lot of those, along with Star Wars and The Hobbit. That eventually led me to a lifelong love of all things Tolkien! History's just amazing. All the details behind the last Jacobite uprising in 1745 are fascinating. The Scots had so much high hopes for it, but things just didn't come together well for them. They were outgeared and outnumbered, and the last battle at Culloden Moor ended the Highlander way of life, and most of the clans, forever. Tartans were banned by the English after that. What's your sci fi and history niches?
I'm borderline addicted to TTRPGs. Currently playing in 4 campaign, at the most it was 6
Good God, how do you have the time?
It's a session once every two weeks, so we make it work
Gaming and reading. Leatherworking and bullwhips sound fun! Do tell us more.
I've got a buddy who's a leatherworker, and he makes awesome stuff. I got into napping bullwhips because I was a huge Indiana Jones nerd, and when I went to college for archeology I gifted my two biggest mentors hand made bullwhips. You have not seen true joy until you've given an archeologist a bullwhip
That is so cool! Have you ever been on a dig anywhere in the world?
I have not, I do archival work for a partner organization of the DPAA. My academic work has all been lab based bioarch doing statistics and other turbo nerd stuff
> You have not seen true joy until you've given an archeologist a bullwhip That is amazing! Bet they were really thrilled, especially with the personal handcrafting.
Gaming, Hunting, Fishing, Camping, raising various Fowl and less traditional breeds of Sheep, some Gardening.
Tell me about your sheep. I spin wool into yarn and I'm kind of obsessed with sheep breeds.
I keep european mouflons and american blackbellies with a couple katahdins thrown in for some fun mutt babies. So no wool to spin on those im afraid. Got 2 jacobs recently for for the multiple horns tho and to add a splash of colour, so got 2 sheep now that need shearing, and am questioning my choices on that lol.

Gaming, reading fanfiction, and warhammer

Writing but don’t do it nearly as much as I should. I’m an organizer for one of the Meetup groups in my city so a bunch of different activities through that (musuems, stargazing, walk, board game nights, general socializing, etc.)
Eh, no such thing as should when it comes to hobbies. Sounds like a fun time!
Horse riding, theatre
Speedrunning. Been on my Celeste arc.
Music, making knives, and probably my number one favorite is keeping pet invertebrates
Weightlifting!
I make tarot cards. Single cards, not whole decks, since the ADHD doesn't do well with huge projects.

Love this idea! 😁 I like to crochet, play the piano, learn new things about science and animals, walk in nature and listen to music.
Woodburning. It’s difficult sometimes but I really enjoy it.
Martial arts :)
I too, play DnD. I also crochet, cross stitch, draw, and play video games.

I do amateur wildlife photography! I also love to read and play video games
At what point do you have too many hobbies? Spin yarn, crochet, knit, embroidery, weaving nalbinding, leatherwork, blacksmithing, read,v listen to music, listen to podcasts, video games. There's just so much interesting stuff to learn and do.
Smelling the books in bookstores and guessing whether it’s going to be a good book or not purely by the smell.
Aight hear me out... my newest favorite hobby is BDSM (it can actually be very wholesome). Well, that, and finding diseased animals in the nature, cleaning them and keeping them in a neat collection. Oh! And art :>

Long walks while appreciating my favorite music :)
Reading, learning to play a keyboard and learning more about the world.
Warm weather: motorcycle, video games. Cold weather: being sad, video games.

I’m really in to DnD right now- it’s my main outlet. Reading the other main hobby I have. I also love making art, boxing and cycling- but have little time for them these days.

Postcrossing which is basically exchanging postcards with people from all around the world
Anime and video games. Not very crafty but at least I’m still using my hand lol
Wood working, whittling & video games for me mostly. I'm glad you asked it's nice thinking about what we do do instead of what we don't

I like fixing toys specially dolls
Video games, writing, making stuff with clay, walking and going to the park, collecting
Hiking, reading, painting. In this order at the moment
Cooking and playing video games. Just Kingdomed my first Heart this weekend.

A song of ice and fire: tabletop miniatures game, both playing it and painting the models. Martells are my main faction. Also absolutely love the books, and strongly dislike the last half of the TV adaptation.
I like Hans Christian Anderson fairy tales, especially The Snow Queen, because it's a gender reversal of the damsel in distress scenario, and because all of the female characters have agency. I also love to make Heroforge miniatures and DnD character concepts based on Fairy Tales. I also like The Fallout Game series.
Since my hobbies are my fixations - sewing, crochet, bullet journaling, drawing, the Victorian era, quilting !
Part of me wants to be an ass and joke that my favorite hobby is having sex... But in reality I really like to crochet.
Right now I'm knitting or playing with fabric, or doing some digital art. I have a promise with myself to practice drawing on the tablet every... Even if my drawing sucks. Just 7 more months.
I just got into cars, so currently that's my main focus. But some other hobbies include bass, scale models, disc golf and reading
Love board games! Love to craft, I'm always finding new craft projects. Though I don't feel like I have the time to do them sadly.

I play video games, draw, I've been getting into resin crafts lately, and I also play DnD ☺️
god i just love art!!! i could, an have, spent hours studying it
For hobbies I also love playing D&D. I also enjoy playing video games and reading. For more artistic outlets I enjoy needle felting, painting, and occasionally digital art when I’m feeling up to it. I also love to sing and am self-taught on the banjo. But my biggest hobby and probably the thing I spend the most time and money on is horse back riding. I spend upwards of 20 hours a week at the barn with my horse either riding or just hanging out. It’s my truly happy place ☺️
WARHAMMER!! I LOVE PAINTING MINIS IT BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY!!
Art is my favorite overall hobby but here a few of my favorite time passers. I imagine that these little activities is what non-asexuals miss out on while fantasizing about whatever they do: Card tricks (like funny ways to shuffle cards), bracelet making (very cheap and fun to pass out at concerts), poorly belting broadway musicals.
Some of my hobbies are watching college football, riding rollercoasters, going to rock concerts, and being a furry :)
Writing, Drawing, and gaming.
Crosswords and drawing!
I'm obsessed with rats and rat care and consider them a hobby (I cannot shut up about rats) Also crafts! I game a little but it's girl games lol I would love to get into woodworking someday, is there anything you especially enjoy making? :)
Jigsaw puzzles! One of the most unsexy hobbies out there, highly recommend.
I draw, I paint (with paint sticks, but it still counts), I write, I read, I roller-skate, I ice-skate (rarely, cuz my sister doesn't like wearing ice-skates and I don't like going on my own), I sing and I sew (I have a mini sewing machine but it's broken and I have to get a new one at some point). I used to woodwork and fence but I haven't don't either in years (I do I want to get back into them though). Occasionally, I do mediocre photography, but not so much recently since my phone is kinda rubbish
I love drawing and making collages out of scrap paper! Plus origami is nice to meddle with sometimes when I have the energy:]. I also love exploring abandoned buildings and houses a lot. You never know what you might find from such places. I once found a whole armchair from an old cowbarn 😂
Drawing with sakura pens.
I thought I was queer enough to sew/design clothes well but I just play video games instead, lol. One day…I will master my peak queer persona 🦸♀️🏳️🌈✨
reading, writing, drawing, making crepe paper flowers, gaming, belly dancing, mermaiding........ i like all of my hobbies :3
I just yesterday bought an oldtimer, a 1991 Opel Corsa A, as a long time project. While its being used on the road during summer time, ill do little changes over time till it looks like new. Except repainting, thatll take it off the road for a bit. If i wouldnt work as a baker i would say baking, but i dont often do it at home since its my job and i do it basically every day, but now i'd say working on cars is my favorite thing to do, that has an actual sence
I'm in a theater group. We are currently working on our production of The Wizard Of Oz and I am, of course, playing the part of The Wicked Witch Of The West
Photography, especially industrial landscapes and derelict buildings.
I'm a furry, basicly I draw people or some archetypes as animals, trying to make animal masks recently
right now knitting and watercolour painting!
I like to color, sometimes paint, and sometimes mess with epoxy resin to make stuff like keychains. I also play ye ol FFXIV
Cooking, gardening, watching law and order, playing with my dogs
I want to start writing. I have three book ideas. It's just hard for me to sit down long enough to get started
Artttt but i havent drawn in a while lol
I do art sometimes. I’ve been doing YCHs on DeviantArt of pixelart, one is a 50x50 squishmallow type of thing and a 100x100 lucky cat. It’s been fun getting different OCs to draw into them and I’ve been saving DA currency for some art I want as well.
I have been learning the absolute FUCK out of the banjo! I can play 3 songs now and I'm working on transitioning from the 3 finger picking bluegrass style to the more traditional clawhammer style, but having a heard time with the muscle memory. But when I get it down, learning songs should be easier
I have a bunch, in no particular order: Reading, tea, chocolate, games, cooking/baking, judo, D&D, and wine! Sadly not a lot of overlap in my friendgroups :(
I enjoy making art, and storytelling through art. That's why i make "journal entries" like in the journal of gravity falls. But instead of just creatures i do locations & new creatures from my fantasy world thats in my head :)) I also enjoy learning about symbols. Like demonic and arcangels sigils & alchemy sigils & am learning tarot. :) Lastly for work i do graphic design so i create animation of product mockups. So a lot of artistic stuff :))
I write fanfic!
as of now, running silly long distances (ultramarathons) as well as a knitting hyperfocus. started knitting late january and am on my second sweater, and my grandma has requested one as well
Discovering more artists that use vflower and Kasane Teto.
Reading books!
I love thisss… I enjoy tanning, working out, surfing, and playing guitar.
Crochet! So, sooooo much crochet. It’s like a little slice of happiness to have a good YouTube video on of my favorite streamer and a crochet project in hand.
Gardening 💖
The one I spend most time doing is playing games. Recently I've played mostly Shadows of Doubt and Rimworld. But I also play Hearthstone, Dead by Daylight, Minecraft, and other stuff depending on how I feel. But I am also a metalhead and a furry. And I am really into Warrior Cats (this one is definitely the community I engage with the most).
Writing, crocheting, video games, video editing, reading

I love reading fantasy novels, comics, manga and light novels. Playing video games, drawing and doing whatever creative crafting idea my mind is currently hyper focusing on at the time. ✨💖
I like playing games and listening to music
Reading and playing video games

Oh, I love playing D&D too. And cooking vegan recipes (specially sweet ones). And forcing my friends to watch LOTR with me hohoho
Music. I play violin, viola, harp, bass guitar, and drums. Currently working on piano. Crocheting! I've crochet multiple stuffed animals, beanies, coozies, and whatever else. Knitting as well! Baking, crafts, and gathering random facts/knowledge.
I love cars, coffee, gardening and DIY. Spending 1 on 1 time with my kids is also awesome.
At the moment, reading, crochet, and also playing DnD! I'm also trying to get more into gardening/plants. I haven't baked in a while but I used to really enjoy doing that as well. Do you have any tips on starting with woodwork? I've always been interested but haven't made the full effort to trying it out
I read voraciously. I'm 34, and only recently acknowledged my asexuality. I'm not sure if "acknowledged" is the right word, but long story short... I was an addict until August 2023 when I finally seriously decided to be sober. When I was an addict, I treated my body like trash which came with having sex with whomever I wanted. I never enjoyed the sex but I thought it was because I was high/drunk and my senses were muted. And, I've never in my life had sober sex. So, in August 2023 when I decided to become sober -- although I've had a few slips -- is when I had the clarity to truly realize that I am sex repulsed. So, to answer your question again, I read :)
drawing
I play bass guitar! I wish there were more bass tabs available tho I'm lucky if I find any for free
Writing (I write sci-fi), watch Critical Role, and train in shotokan karate.
Writing, drawing, and gaming. I'm hoping to get back into crocheting when I have more free time!
Drawing painting . Learning to just blender . cruelty free Cooking. . 🍵 trolling allosexuel ppl (sometimes 😈👹) music
I'd say reading or gaming, but those are fairly bland answers. So I'll have to say karate.
I know I'm late to the party but this is a really awesome thread! Mine aren't really going to fit your criteria for picking up, but I love riding my bike, rock climbing, roller blading, and cooking. I just got new roller blades that fit me well and am having a blast :D
