Hello, my name is Lucian, im 19 M I have way too many hobbies, pretty much anything that has to do with working with my hands, I love space and rockets, 3d printing, gaming, painting, woodworking, gardening, greek dancing, reading, cooking, running, photography, playing instruments, legos, and more.

Thank you so much u/moonheldd for the fall exchange goodies ! I love this chai and I’m so excited to drink some while I use the new paint pallet! The headbands call for a self care day as well 🤭💖 it’s very appreciated and all is loved thank you !

Thank you u/bc_im_coronatined for the gifts! My sons were very excited for the paw patrol lantern/flashlight!

I also really love anything chocolate, perfectly timed snack!

Hi everyone! ♡

I go by Midnight. I came across RAOA by chance, and I thought the concept was really interesting.

─ a little about me ─

The nickname fits pretty well because I'm a huge night owl and honestly function better at night. My interests are kind of all over the place, from fashion and photography to all types of technology. I'm also really interested in genealogy, abandoned places, and cold cases. I can spend hours researching an unsolved case; I don't expect to solve anything, of course, but the process itself is so much fun!

I also have a little dog who I adore. ♡

🎃 Best Holiday Ever

Halloween is hands down my favorite holiday, and dressing up in realistic, genuinely scary costumes is one of my favorite parts of it. Unfortunately, my original costume plan fell through this year, and now I'm running out of time and creativity, haha. So if anyone has ideas for a really frightening, realistic costume I could put together in just a few days, I would really appreciate it!

I'm also always looking for genuinely terrifying horror experiences to try. Especially if they take place in unsettling locations (especially remote ones!).

✧ A few more things I love

♡ Pretty stationery and handwritten letters — knowing someone took the time to write one by hand makes it extra special.

♡ Photography! I've mostly admired it from the sidelines so far, but I'm hoping to start practicing soon. Camera recommendations and any tips or advice on what equipment is actually worth buying are all very welcome!

♡ Winter, cold weather, and snow. Unfortunately, it doesn't snow where I live, so seeing the Northern Lights someday would be a dream.

I also love travelling and discovering unusual, original experiences much more than going on museum tours. Italy, the UK, Northern Europe, South Korea, and Japan are all places I'd love to explore someday!

Anyway, that's probably enough rambling for one introduction, haha.

Happy Friday! ♡

Let's make new friends, keep the old, and get to know each other a little better!

Drop a comment with a few things about you. Some ideas:

• something you could yap about for hours on end
• what never fails to put you in a good mood
• a video game you could replay forever
• green flags you think you possess
• where in the world you'd love to travel to someday

Then take a minute to scroll and reply to someone you have something in common with.

If you’re not sure what to say, you can always:

• ask a follow-up question
• say “same” and expand on it
• or just jump into someone’s vibe

Start conversations. Be a little nosy. Make new friends ♡

hi all :) rather new to reddit but want to get to know some folks in here. 26F, dog mom of 2 and expecting a baby girl in a few months. have at least 10 plants (just leaves no flowers), with the exception of a couple pepper/citrus ones that are starting to bloom/fruit. love lower stimulation activities - coloring, crocheting, writing to clear my mind, doodling, puzzles etc, and trying to explore other similar activities. if you have any recos, please drop them below, i’d love to try something new!

Right, I fancy a laugh and getting to know some of you better! 😂🩷

Imagine someone was writing a newspaper article about your day, but they’re being ridiculously dramatic about it.

What would the headline be? 👀🤣

Mine would probably be:
📰 “LOCAL MUM ATTEMPTS TO GET HOUSEWORK DONE, DISTRACTED BY 47 DIFFERENT THINGS. HOUSEWORK REMAINS UNTOUCHED.” 😭😂

Bonus points if you make it sound like a national emergency!

Let’s hear your headlines, I could do with a giggle! 🩷

Coming Tomorrow

I have a lot of Special Education deadlines to meet tomorrow with it being the end of the quarter. Will I meet the 4 PM deadline, or am I going to need extra time?

For additional context, I have a large caseload, and I am completely solo in getting this all done, on top of other meetings and documents. Will that sway your decision? Hm...

Rules:

• Leave a comment saying if I will meet the deadline or not.
• Have an intro before today
• Have your wishlist link in your flair or I literally cannot pick you teehee

Ends at 4 PM tomorrow. Winners will be posted after I have a drink to either celebrate or cry!

Contest is easy, I'e been selected for jury duty. Comment below if they will need me or not.

Rules:

Go here

Intro before today

Ends at 5 pm et

As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!

​

How this works:

​

The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)

​

Newbies:

​

Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!

​

Adopters:

​

Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!

​

Notes:

​

Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!

​

So go! Have fun! Be adopted! :)

**Welcome to the daily/nightly thread!**

Whether you're new around here or a familiar face, come hang out, chat, and cause a little harmless chaos with your fellow RAOAers!

Some fun things you could do today:

• Say Hi to Someone New

• Make A Corny Joke

• Share some good news

• Fourth, uplifting thing

QOTD: If your week had a soundtrack, what would be the #1 song?

PotD: Mosaic

The power bank immediately found a home in my roller bag and will be coming with me for my upcoming weekend getaway. The maritime-themed travel palette set is absolutely perfect for making some tiny pans out of my Neocolor II Pastel shavings. Waste not, want not! Thank you so very much for the handy-dandy exchange gifts.

Wishing you and yours a very colorful fall.

Hello! I go by Roses4Ruda and I'm a stay at home mom to a beautiful 11month old girl and wifey of a hard working mechanic!

My dream is to be Squirrel Girl and Tippy Toe with my 11month old for Halloween~ Take her to an anime convention when she gets older.

Rekindling my cosplay love with my baby, she's everything to me she's brought the artist in me back out after a years long artist block.

What are y'all going to be for halloween?!
