My hobby is watching sports specifically baseball. I love the players. It’s the way certain players carry themselves, the energy they bring to the field, and how they hype up the fans. That combination of talent and personality is what really pulled me in and made me enjoy following the game more closely
@derrick2 Sports really do have their own charm! I love that you have something you enjoy spending time on 💖

Mine is animation! I remember watching Disney cartoons growing up, but it wasn't until my Auntie brought me to see The Lion King on a gigantic projector screen at our local theater that I really learned to love it! I remember watching lots of different kinds of stuff: Aeon Flux, The Head and Liquid Television on MTV; anime on SyFy and later Cartoon Network.
I prefer anime, but I love all sorts of animation. Seeing the way that animators capture certain movements, or the complexity of a fight scene is just amazing!
@HappySpecter (I have recommendations if anyone is interested) 🤷♀️
@HappySpecter That's awesome 💖 I really admire all the time and creativity animators put into their art.
Do share your recommandations :D I'm interested!
As far as anime goes:
Belle - SOOOO gorgeous, and a great story about a girl finding her voice in a VR game
Your Name - A boy and a girl from different time periods swap bodies occasionally. Funny, sweet, and full of heart!
Cowboy Bebop - A group of bounty hunters learn about themselves while...hunting bounties lol. A classic, honestly, with a lot of cues from American culture which makes it very accessible.
With regards to Western animation, I'm a little out of touch, but some ones I really love are "The Breadwinner" (a girl in the Middle East starts dressing like a boy to make money for her family), "Song of the Sea" (a story involving a Selkie from Irish mythology) and "Sarah & Duck" (a British show about a girl and her Duck friend learning about the world). I should throw "Persepolis" in there too, though I've only read the graphic novel at present.
Because of my kids I have fallen in love with modern cartoons too, like "Bluey" and "Octonauts". There are quite a few good ones now (that even parents could enjoy)!
@HappySpecter I've seen "Your Name" loved it! I'll have to check out the others. The animation styles look really cool.
I've watched Bluey too 💙 Thanks for sharing this recommendations!

I take inspiration from anime to draw
@MackaylaMurphree That's cool 💖 Which one do you like the most?
@magnanimousPeace2500 both great hobbies ^-^ What's your signature dish? 💖
@magnanimousPeace2500 nice ^-^
Drawing I love drawing at first I was doing it to feel like I'm good and I was drawing anything mom tell me or my friends tell me to feel like I'm so good and I was feeling happy after them tell me this is so cool But I stopped this and started drawing what I wanted and drawing my feelings even if others saw them as ugly.
@willingLime7204 that's awesome 💖
