The Grim Hobbyist

Welcome to my channel, all you lovely Souls!
My name is Grim (or Leslye)! Here you will find all things dark and spooky, with the occasional lighter touch. While there will be plenty of book content on here, I also wanted to include my other interests. Such as: arts, crafts, fashion, makeup, movies, video games, board games, puzzles, etc. I want this to be a place where all my interests can come together on one singular platform, because I am in fact a major hobbyist.

I completely forgot to update people here about my situation, I apologize! If you follow me on Instagram, you know, this is just a quick summary.

I was already struggling with keeping up with my one a week video here anyways, but I'll be taking a hiatus again. I'll post videos when I have time to edit, but a medical scare has come knocking on my door. Nodules were found in my thyroid and they did a biopsy on them, one of them coming back malignant. They will be doing a full thyroidectomy to get rid of my thyroid and the malignant nodule they believe to be cancer. So, naturally, I'll be focusing on me and all of that, and probably won't have time to film or edit videos here. Same with streaming reading sprints.

I will of course be back after all is said and done, I actually filmed clips for a halloween hunting/haul video while out today for my doc appointment, just expect things to be posted late or sparse. Thank you for understanding!

I think I might just start doing monthly favorites and combining books, shows, movies, and other things for my month of favorites. Instead of two separate wrap up videos.

Also, at this point, should I even post my April reading wrap up, or scrap it?

Working on setting things up to stream on twitch tomorrow. Here's my little mascot! I'll be drawing emoji and stuff of them eventually

I was going to do my first stream today, but it's been cancelled.

I do my morning routine every day, and that includes my tarot. Whether you believe in it or not, my cards warned me not to do it. My stubbornness didn't heed the warning and I began setting up.

My webcam wouldn't work, my mic wouldn't work, my hair got tangled severely in my headphones, and as I was working on untangling it, I looked down to notice my mom has been repeatedly calling and texting me. I had my phone on silent to get ready to stream.

There has been a death in the family and I'm gutted right now. So the universe was preparing me for this... I still want to stream in the future, but not right now. I need to mourn. I have one video still scheduled to go out soonish, I was delayed in editing it, but then I think I'm going to take a break from social media for a bit.

Movie night tonight and it's my pick! I chose Frankenhooker, as it's a host pick for Old School April, which I've been doing all month.

Follow up to the streaming. I tried to look into multistreaming and it doesn't seem possible without paying for it, and I'm used to Twitch. So I think I might stream on Twitch and just upload the stream to Youtube, or at least highlights of the stream to Youtube. Unless someone has another option for me?
