 “When I was young, I was captivated by balloon creatures. It seemed magical that such delightful figures could emerge from a simple stretch of balloon.” In the town square, a festive party is in full swing. The balloon maker, a lively kelph with orange stripes, chats with you while handing out balloon animals to the younger mycenians, who hover around her in an excited swarm. “At a young age, I realized I had the power to create such wonders. It became my quest to master the art and share that joy with others.” The kelph’s creations ranged from simple balloon dogs to intricate, mind-bending masterpieces—phoenixes crafted from five different kinds of balloons with flickering flames, buzzing bumblebees with striped abdomens, squids with wriggling tentacles, and more. “Achieving a dream and surpassing your own expectations is an unparalleled feeling! Tell me, what’s something on your bucket list?” How it Works For this activity, create a bucket list-themed entry for either you or one of your characters. A bucket-list themed entry means that it pertains to experiences or achievements that you or your character hope to achieve during your/their lifetime. There are various ways this could be covered; here are a couple of potential ideas:
Feel free to get creative and have fun with this activity, it just needs to have something to do with bucket lists!

I had a bucket list written down from high school and it was really fun taking a look at that and seeing what things I’ve accomplished! :D About half of these (mixed into both lists) are pulled directly from that first list, because I have always been Like This.
go to space (I can dream <3)
visit Germany and Japan

TW language Genna’s first answer was, “I could use a couple five gallons. With lids.” “No that’s—wait, why do you need buckets?” Trish squinted at her, baffled. They weren’t even in the same time zone as home? Genna just stared back at her, unflapped. “A project,” she said, which really narrowed things down. Trish kept staring. Genna pulled a lollipop out of thin air and stuck it in her mouth, wrapper still on. She crunched down, then extracted the shattered pop, still snug in its casing, and held it out. Trish tried very hard to produce question marks on her face, the better to convey how bat shit insane Genna was being (as usual). Genna shook the pop at her so Trish sighed and accepted it. Whatever, who wants to know about Genna’s ominous plans anyway. “Anyway, not like that. I mean like, a bucket list,” Trish said, pausing to dump the pieces of lollipop in her mouth, crunching them noisily as she continued. “It’s like, things you wanna do before you kick the bucket, yknow?” “Ohhh,” Genna dragged out. She pulled out another lollipop, but this time she unwrapped it before putting it in her mouth. Trish wondered where she got the lollipops. They were about fifty miles from anything like civilization, and they had packed light. Did she just…stuff her pockets with lollipops? They’d been out here for two weeks and she’d pulled out at least four a day. At least she was sharing but come on. Genna said nothing else, just chewing lightly on her candy, staring away in silence. “So what’s on your bucket list!” Trish shoved her, baring her teeth when Genna barely even shifted. Genna’s snickering turned into a brief shoving match until Genna simply pinned and sat on her, leaving Trish face down. “Retirement,” Genna answered and pulled out a third fucking pop. “Ughh that doesn’t count! That’s boring!!” Trish whined and thrashed like a kid in a tantrum. “What do you wanna do once you retire!!” “Nap,” Genna said immediately. “Go back to Hawaii. Stab my dad maybe, that just sounds fun.” “Don’t stab your dad, your sister would probably be upset,” Trish said, mostly automatically. She’d only met Hasa twice and he was….tolerable. Nice enough probably. “She wouldn’t even notice,” Genna dismissed. “Even Phil’s mom wouldn’t mind. He deserves a good stabbing and everyone knows it. Especially Hasa.” “Okay well that’s one thing,” Trish decided this wasn’t her problem. “What else?” “The fuck you mean what else? That was at least three things already bitch, what more do you want!?” Genna kicked her while she was down like a good friend, Trish grunting at the impact to her kidneys. Bitch. “Gimme something here come on!!! Why are you so boring!!!” Trish thrashed and wailed, finally throwing Genna off so she could more effectively tantrum. “What the hell’s on yours then!! Of course I’m boring i literally just want naps, you know this!!” Genna yelled back, grumpily reclaiming her actual seat (a log that was honestly not as comfortable as just sitting in Trish). And then Trish spent six hours extoling the virtues of her wife, children, and idyllic picket fence life. Genna stopped listening about twenty minutes in, tuned back in at the three hour mark, tuned back out, and then at the six hour mark she simply picked Trish up and hurled her into the sea.

Hey, I’m genuinely going to be honest and (moderately) practical. This is a really charming idea and I think I’ve needed to set down some personal goals and actually have them in writing rather than floating around in my head. Of course, these are more short term than life-long goals, but they’re not something I can just accomplish overnight. I’m not the best example of someone who has huge ideas for things years down the road, but I hope this list will still fit the bill! ▸ Actually commit to a long drawing challenge! (Even if I can’t do one drawing/day, I can queue the art and still have a “new” drawing for an entire month)

She’s seen this place in memories before, shared during long nights on campaign. False-history tugs her towards the bench below a tall and twisting maple, leaves already frost-touched red. Kailera follows her, and they sit together, not quite touching, but the distance a companionable one. She watches fallen leaves spin across the water, and the shadows of fish darting beneath the surface. Excerpted from here, which is the actual rest of my entry haha. (It ended up being character-significant enough that I wanted it in my musings thread.) It’s about the nameless protagonist fulfilling a promise to her friend (very loosely implied to be something she needs to do before her death).
