I do not wish you much happiness — it would bore you; I do not wish you trouble either; but, following the people's philosophy, I will simply repeat: 'Live more' and try somehow not to be too bored...

Things to do when your bored (little edition)
Hi guys it’s sprig here I have a jar that I use when I bored (it’s mainly used when I’m not regressed). Today Arkie asked me to look through the jar and find things that littles could do. Then they asked me to share it with you guys so here it is.
Watch funny YouTube videos (with your CG or your stuffies)
Play a board game with your CG or little friends (My favourite is pictureka)
Have a bubble bath (with bath toys if you have any)
Make paper boats, paper aeroplanes, paper chains or paper snowflakes
Play some age appropriate video games (I like animal crossing and slime rancher)
Do some colouring
Plan your very own business
Make a collage
Take silly selfies (photo booth is a good app for this)
Write a story
Draw an animal (real or made up)
Read an age appropriate book (my favourite is starpuff)
Watch an age appropriate movie (my favourite is my little pony: the movie)
Junk modelling (make models out of recycling)
Go for a walk with your CG or a stuffy
Have a teddy bear picnic
Make a pillow and blanket fort
Learn how to make scoobies
Design your very own poster
Draw your dream house or playroom
Go outside and do a scavenger hunt

Humans and Boredom I
Humans love games. There is almost nothing they won't turn into a game or competition. Nothing.
On our permanent embassy station, one day we noticed some repeating but indiscernible kinetic activity around one of Saturn's moons. Two research stations were exhibiting this odd energy discharge interchangeably. Thinking it would be inappropriate to pry further without permission, we asked, and later added their answer to the ever growing list of concerning behavior:
"We're playing Tic Tac Toe during our off time. Sample analysis and exotic material delivery is taking for-e-ver, so we figured we may as well get some manual practice with our new kinetic beam rays.
The operators on our neighboring station, Gliding Rhubarb, are in a similar spot, so we naturally decided to have a little competition.
In turn we pick out a small enough rock from Saturn's rings and fling it into a suborbital trajectory at the moon Tethys so it crashes in a predetermined 3x3 grid. If you miss, or hit an already marked spot, you auto-lose and buy everyone's drinks during the next movie night.
We started with a 9 square kilometer grid, but it turns out these beams are real accurate even without computer assistance, so we've narrowed it down to a 30x30m grid. I think we could go smaller, but there are a few kinks in these beam that' we're compiling a bug report on, plus it gets real difficult to pick out things less than 20cm across when you're a few thousand km away.
We're thinking of adding an extra rule where you can try to knock out a rock that's already been sent out with one that is at least ten times smaller, but that's for the next set. Currently we're on a best of 7, 0-2 our advantage, but their next shift operator is pretty good. Our internal clocks are off-sync, so I'll be up against her for the first two hours.
Ah snap, they just got it in! Sorry, I gotta focus. See you around!"

If sleep represents the high point of bodily relaxation, deep boredom is the peak of mental relaxation. A purely hectic rush produces nothing new. It reproduces and accelerates what is already available.

Shtity SPIDERVERSE headcanons:
1. Miguel rarely blinks. When he does he frog blinks. He also takes saint Patrick’s day way too seriously
2. Jessica is one of those people who owns a YT channel dedicated to driving through crosswalks and yelling at pedestrians
3. For the longest time Hobie was disturbed and clueless as to why numerous people within Spider Society kept on stopping to stare blankly at him without moving until he realized they’re just trying to read his newspaper patterns
4. Sometimes people hack into Miguel’s suit and play memes or lets play videos while he’s trying to hold serious discussions
5. Pavitr often posts gym workout edits of himself and flexing in the middle of a Walmart shopping isle with cheesy inspirational quotes
6. Because of their spider DNA almost everyone has interest in knitting/croqueting and feel the need to rearrange everything every now and then for no reason
7. Miles learned how to speak spider and at some nights when he can’t sleep or feels lonely he’ll talk to the spiders that live in his bedroom
8. Gwen does white dad stuff like standing on the front porch with a drink in her hand and going “the sky’s looking a little yellow” during a tornado warning
9. Miguel and Gabriel loved searching for and playing super old games when they were little. They were both very much obsessed with Sims and Spore.
10. LYLA is very much self aware but out of fear of being shut down she pretends not to be. She feels very alone because of this.
11. Sometimes when Miles 1610 and Miles 42 are bored they swap clothes and switch places and wait to see how long it takes before their parents realize they got the wrong sons in their houses.
