What makes you happy?

[LeoDormouse]

Hello !
I upload every day a drawing about what makes my characters happy ( if you want to check it, it's there, https://tapas.io/series/I-am-happy-when, but by all means do not feel obliged to check it to answer), and today the inspiration is lacking. I have about 6 hours left before uploading the next drawing, so please, share all your ideas ! Or one or two, as you wish.

When someone gives me a genuine grin.
When it rains outside and I'm under a blanket.
When chocolate.
When my baby giggles.
When it's friday evening.
When there's a storm outside.
When my fountain pen gives that pefect, juicy, crisp line and the ink quickly gets soaked up by the paper.
When the sea waves rolls back on a pebble beach.
When my dog runs freely.

Thank you ! These will be used, with maybe a few changes as none of the characters currently used have a baby of their own

[saerel]

I guess it also works with stolen babies.

Here are some little things that work for me:

• Dogs playing
• Listen to a song I haven't heard in ages
• A smell that reminds me of something but I'm not sure what
• Finally cleaning my glasses and see the world in HD once more
• Learn something new

That's what comes to my mind, hope it helps

Being told I'm cute by friends when I'm just being myself makes me really happy.
Seeing tiny fluffy birds in out door restaurants, and anytime said bird lands anywhere near me
Kitty rubs
Kitties that show you their belly for bell rubs (when it is not a trap)
When a friend lets me talk for a really long time about something inane but they stay engaged in the conversation anyway (usually detailed recounts of movie, sometimes movies I haven't actually seen)
Friends putting their head on my shoulder
Friends letting me hold the strap of their purse when we're going through a crowd, because crowds make me uncomfortable, and I get anxious about loosing track of them

I tried to think of kind of specific examples over generic ones? I hope that's still helpful.

There's many things that make me happy tbh:

• When something I ordered arrives!
• When I see art of my favorite creators
• Nostalgic things. Like playing old games again or seeing old toys that I used to love.
• When someone has a cute sneeze or laugh, I can't help but feel happy about it.
• Taking the train when the weather is nice
• Eating pizza with all my classmates (we have a Domino's next to our school, and they often have deals for students haha)
• When I finish a big group project
