What comforts you?

[Ghost_Queen]

I been doing some research about things people find comforting when they are feeling down or wanting to just quit.

For me, is my mom's last gift which is her shirt. She gave it to me when I was packing my suitcase and whenever I miss her or I don't know what to do I hold it in my hands and I talk to it like its her.

I want one of my characters to have a thing that brings them comfort, so please share with us what's yours and why. Please be respectful when responding!

Recently, I've been watching the Shrek movies after not watching them in years. I was feeling a bit down about a week ago and after watching Shrek 2 which is my favorite of all of them, I felt so much better. Watching childhood movies as a destraction from real world crap and more so with my family really helped. I even started letting it play in the background while drawing.

Annie’s shells and white cheddar Mac and cheese! It’s so freaking delicious!

I mean just cheese in general is my ultimate comfort food.

My earbuds. I have come to learn that I'm autistic and having pressure on my ears is really comforting, especially when I'm in loud situations. I don't feel comfortable not having earbuds with me.

Honestly, I’m probably the most outdated person in terms of personal taste, but the little purple lunchbox has always been one of greatest comforts:

I have several things that give me comfort when I'm feeling down

Being in bed with a weighted blanket, listening to music.

Mantecol and Dulce de Leche with brownies ice cream

The purr of my cats

Re-watching Tiger & Bunny

Re-watching Kamen Rider Den-O

My boyfriend's pizza

Playing a childhood game with an emulator or my PS2

I always have to add Scooby Doo, Hogan's Heroes, and my two favorite pillows. I don't like the sensation of sleeping with a stuffed animal so my pillows are like my stuffed animals. I sleep in a pile of pillows but I'm always holding one of my special pillows.

This is a great question... I feel like like I don't have enough comforting things in my life. No wonder I'm always so stressed.. I guess it would be walking outside in nature and just actually paying attention to my surroundings with no agenda, no rush to get somewhere.. Just taking in nature and observing the world.

Yesssss, there were so many good games on the gamecube. Also... remember memory cards? I lived in constant fear that all my save files would mysterious get corrupted. Lol..

I like to cuddle with my pets to relax! When things get too overwhelming, it's always nice to have a furry friend to play with I also like to watch or read some feel-good content, be it a movie, series, or book. It's even better when I can have something to snack on, but when budget's tight, you make do

[Ghost_Queen]

Watching old cartoons sure does brings comfort. I refuse to watch Shrek in English I will forever watch it in Spanish

[Ghost_Queen]

Cheese is just the best, it goes with almost everything! My nephew puts ketchup in his Mac and cheese

[Ghost_Queen]

In some way I understand, sometimes we just need that pressure and to drown out the noise.

[Ghost_Queen]

Yes, it's the best! I remember telling my brother to tell his friend to bring it with him whenever he came over so I could play Mario Sunshine is and still is my favorite Mario game, what's yours?

[Ghost_Queen]

Animals are the best comfort! If I wasn't allergic and my brother liked cats I would have one. What's their name?

[Ghost_Queen]

I'm a stuffed animal type of girl, I have 12 and I comfortably sleep with all of them in my bed I was watching Scooby-Doo with my nephew in the morning and he liked it

[Ghost_Queen]

I love taking walks! But it gets so hot around this time of year that if you don't wear light clothes and sunscreen you are done for. Oh yes those memory cards, I remember telling my brother to burn them because Ben drowned was inside them

[VibrantFox]

aside from my dog i've come to find more comfort in places than people so even tho i haven't been in more than a while there's still something especially soothing to me about the ocean. if anything it reflect a lot when i'm gaming coz i'm usually finding myself drawn to seaside locations if there are any and staying there otherwise it's hunting down decent ambiance videos with recordings of it

[Ghost_Queen]

Fluffy friends and a good movie or TV show sounds like the perfect way to spend some time.

[AmazementComics]

Oh my God yes! It used to be a struggle for me. But I bought a memory card off eBay that stores 2053 blocks of data. It’s made my gaming experience so much easier.

@Ghost_Queen

I actually 100% completed Mario Sunshine. Fantastic game, but also very underrated. I would say my favorite game is Mario Kart: Double Dash.

[Ghost_Queen]

OMG yes the ocean is so pretty too bad I'm scared of it but yes I understand. It's so calming
