Birthday Rec Party

[forestofglory]

It's my birthday so I thought I'd host a rec party. I love both giving and receiving recs! It's fun to tell people about things I love and it's fun to discover new things that other people love.

So in the comments either recommend something you think I'd like or ask for a rec. Or both, both is good too.

You can rec or ask for recs of books, short fiction, fanfic, vids, music, meta, manga, recipes or anything else that comes to mind.

I'm always interested in cool ecological worldbuiling; fiction with lots of food; architectural and urban planning themes; and stories about moms. However don’t feel limited by this list I’m happy to hear about all kinds of things you like. Please do warn for dead moms and children in peril. If you want to see what I've been into recently you can check out my media roundup tag.

Happy recing!

Happy birthday!

I don't know if K-pop or mashups are your thing, but someone just told me about this U-Kiss vs. SHINee vs. Super Junior vs. Nirvana mashup and I am living for it. If mashups and/or K-pop aren't your jam, let me know what kind of music you do like and I'll see if I can figure out something else that might appeal.

That was super fun! I'm currently trying to figure out what my musical taste even is. I have a auditory processing disorder and I didn't listen to music for a long time. But recently I've become friends with other people with auditory processing problems who really like music and that's made me want to explore it more, and I've started making more time for it.

Oh, how fun that you're getting to explore music again! I have wide-ranging tastes so I'm happy to send stuff your way if/when you can give me examples of the sorts of thing that doesn't make your auditory processing freak out.

Thank you! I tend to do better with songs with not too much going on at once. But I've learned that lots of people, even people with normal auditory processing skills look up the lyrics, and I've found that can really help. Also I've been enjoying vids a lot because it helps give me some more context for songs.
