a week with my notebooks | hobonichi x field notes (ep. 2) ✸ 

Oh and I forgot to mention, YOUR videos are also my comfort “show” :) I rewatch them multiple times a week

It’s interesting to see how you use your notebooks. Somehow this also inspires me to be a lot more organized.

I’m currently rewatching Hannibal (for the first time as diagnosed and out of the closet, it’s such a different experience), I think that’s a comfort show despite its darkness. Criminal Minds is definitely another, and probably my oldest and longest, comfort show. And recently Our Flag Means Death.

My top comfort movies are Howl’s Moving Castle and Pride & Prejudice. I find the music and scenery in these movies calming and could watch them every day if I wanted.

Doctor who is my comfort show, I was devastated when they took it off Netflix all those years ago but I have it back thanks to HBO!!!

one of my ultimate comfort shows is the netflix show Hilda!! the colour palette is so soft and i love how the houses are drawn! also the linework is a little rough and it makes it feel so charming ✨

Proving I stuck around til the end….I’m much older than most of your viewers, but I’m on the spectrum. Got diagnosed when I was 37 (53 now) and my two children are also on the spectrum. My comfort shows and movies are anything that Stephen King has produced himself and Friends and Frasier tv-series! You really make me think about stuff I haven’t before in terms how you feel and why you feel a certain way. Thank you for that! It keeps me alert and I use it in the way I relate to my children and others with autism. 🙏🏻

i had the worst week of my life. this video made me sat down and wrote my journals. I feel relaxed and a lot better now 😭 Thank you so much, you have no idea how much your videos comfort me

Elementary is definitely my biggest comfort show. I cycle through it, Bones, and Person of Interest (all american shows) almost constantly. Sometimes I also sprinkle in Castle (through season 6), and Criminal Minds. I'm all about the crime shows that become formulaic so I'm not left guessing. I also will find YT channels I adore and watch their videos over and over on a loop until I think in their voices and their aesthetics - especially journaling/planner creators. I also just want you to know that your commonplace book inspired me to add a writers notebook back into my journal system. I tried to keep my writing in my bullet journal and it never felt right. I'm in a bujo TN system and so I added a slightly smaller notebook in that will only be for creative/expressive writing and it's aesthetic in my system feels to me like your field notes. Thank you, for making your system work for you and inspiring others to be innovative in their own way.

My comfort show is Mushishi! It taught me a lot as a young person about accepting my disability and seeing myself as part of nature, not separate from it. But it's really my comfort show because the sound effects and atmosphere are so special. I get a lot of comfort from your videos like this one, thank you.

nightmare before christmas is probably my biggest comfort film, i love it so much

Sense and Sensibility, Little Women (the 90s version), Little Princess and The Secret Garden are my comfort films 🥰

this was such a calming, lovely video to watch! 💗 I'd say the 2 comfort movies I rewatch the most are Love, Rosie and You've Got Mail! I also find it comforting to watch favourite movies from my childhood e.g. The Princess Diaries 🥰

I find that 'low budget' yt channels to be the ones I prefer the most. I do love RU-vidrs who have official cameras and microphones or whatever but there's more sense of authenticity in the 'low budget' ones

My comfort shows are k-dramas; I rewatch Healer, Pinocchio and a couple more. And when it comes to movies I rewatch: Pride and Prejudice, Shang Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, and Tangled. When it comes to books the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series is my go to✨

the extended editions of lord of the rings are huge comfort movies for me but when i need something that's not 3+ hours long I go for school of rock or the princess diaries - and for tv it's new girl

This is such a gift :-) can't tell you how often I watch your videos while journaling, so this is like a comfy present for my journaling sessions! Thank you!

Your videos quickly became my comfort watches. Right now I'm cozied up on my sofa under a blanket, crocheting and drinking hot cocoa and I'm deeply soothed 💖

My favourite comfort films are all studio ghibli films! :) They are so peaceful and cosy and I like the lack of adults in most of them hahaha

love love love this one, both for the notebook content and the voiceover 😍 my comfort show has been and will always be gilmore girls - it just hits me so deep in my heart

dropped everything and ran to watch this when i got the notification 🙆🏻‍♀️ thank you for the effort you put into your videos, megan, they make my week 🤍

Over the Garden Wall is my all time favorite comfort show.

I love sitting down with a cup of coffee and your videos. They are my comfort show.

yayyy!!! :D i was looking forward to this all week ur little corner of the internet is becoming my favourite place to hang in these days so thank u for these warm and comforting videos! ⭐ ur efforts are very much appreciated :]

thank you for an extra long video this week, that was something special. I find your videos a comfort to me, something about quiet contemplation can make me feel centered but i also love law and order svu currently i'm slowly watching Wednesday on netflix and i have a couple of other shows that are to embarrassing to admit too. 🎨🦇

When you talked about stealing empty note books from school I screamed, I used to do the same thing. My teacher had this shelf filled with art and stationary supplies. I would always just stare at the shelf. Eventually I stoped cause they started catching on but all I wanted was to use her stickers and pens on the empty notebooks ✨

Hellboy (2004), What We Do In The Shadows (2015), Adventure Time, and Red Dwarf are my biggest comfort movies and shows. I'm also a sucker for the late 90's - early 2000's supernatural cheese, but these are the shows I can probably quote in my sleep lol

Thank you for making this type of videos. I'm facing a tough phase of my life and your content actually helps me relax.

My favorite comfort view is the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Total chef's-kiss. In the RU-vid world I watch you and Rachel Maksy for cozy viewing. I'm glad I found you, Megan!

This was great! Iloved watching the common place book in action! It was so much fun tallow the journaling in your hobonichi! The Qand AWas amazing!

over the garden wall, gravity falls are one of my fave comfort shows I reeeeaaally recommened them 😊🥰☁️🌼

Your videos are so comforting and aesthetic 🖤

The Lord of the Rings trilogy and soundtracks are my ultimate comforts - I have fallen asleep while sick and woken up to the “change disk” screen so many times; the Return of the King soundtrack will knock me out within the first few minutes, even if I was previously struggling to settle. Otherwise, it’s My Neighbor Totoro. I don’t do shows very well, so will otherwise watch your videos or I’ve started following some vlog channels from Korean cafes and Japanese/Korean daily life for making drinks, making food (mostly bento), and cleaning/organizing their apartments. 😹

This may sound cliché, but my comfort movies are the LOTR and the first and second The Hobbit movies - those are the first that come to mind that I watch when feeling down. Terry Pratchett movies also help. Still have a lot of series that need to tick out of my watching list - American Gods (first I want to read the book), Wednesday, Good Omens, Over the Garden Wall are my priorities now

I wish i could spend 5 hours in my journal! That sounds so nice! Something i need to work on is spending more time in it because I’ve realized it helps me! Thank you for the video Megan!! 😊

I really lovethis! You inspire me so much when it comes to memory keeping and journaling please continue this series 🧡

the good place, futurama, and the simpsons (up to season 10) are my comfort shows! thank you so much for this wonderful video, megan. it's such a delight and honour to catch up with you each week

Your journals are so lovely!

Loved it. My fave comfort films and shows for a long time: * 2005 Pride and Prejudice * 2008 Lost In Austen (mini series) * Queen on the damned! * Big Bang Theory And more recently *2021 Free Guy. I don't know why, but it makes me feel so good.

your videos are so interesting, i loved the q&a section! such a good video after a long week! :D

i super enjoy these little insights into your journalling process and gentle «journal with me» type vibes ❤ off the top of my head, my comfort films/series would have to be what we do in the shadows (mainly the film, though i love the series as well), the x-files, bob’s burgers, golden girls, the LOTR films…probably loads i can’t think of and after i’ve posted this i’ll be like GAH!!

I love these videos so much. they are my ultimate comfort :") but some of my other favorite comfort films/tv are kiki's delivery service and over the garden wall ❤

My comfort movie is Tron: Legacy, and I've watched it like 8 times these past couple weeks, which isn't a lot, but considering I haven't watched a movie over and over like this in a few years, it sure is something to me, lol. My comfort show is, uhh, it's still Voltron: Legendary Defender............. Yeah. I've been a sci-fi person since the early days, My OG comfort movie, when I was like 5 was Star Wars: Phantom Menace, lol. (and A Bug's Life?) Also, uhh, your videos are a comfort series for me? I put them on over and over again. Thanks for the video!! It was a really good one

"Unofficial in the sense that I'll just make [these episodes] when I feel like it..." omg what a concept ty so so so much! 🙆‍♀️👏👏👏❤

I think I spend an hour in my books daily but I will take longer if I'm drawing or doodling or setting up new spreads in my bullet journal. I love the All Souls trilogy! I want to re-read the series it's definitely my favorite. One of my goals for this year is to pick up some old favorites and read my new books on my shelf. I'm trying to stop buying new books haha I absolutely loved the show as well. Love your videos! I started my day journaling along with it and I feel better 🤍✨

my favorite comfort show just has to be "pushing daisies"...I'm always sad that it was cut short, but it has such a place in my heart and it was sort of a formative experience for me growing up, watching it with my mom every tuesday night I think

Your videos have such a good, and cozy mood. I love them so much. Also I really love your notebook system. It actually seems so fun and I just want to try it too. Mine is just all over the place and feels meh a lot of the times, so

fav show/film probably doctor who and v for vendetta

So blessed to be bilingual and journal mostly in English because is a language my parents and family don't know so it feels more private, like a big separation from my surroundings, my own private thoughts that no one can access 💭💭💭

I know I might be repeating what other people have said, but your videos are definitely a big comfort for me. Also: How to train you Dragon. Only the first one, but I basically watch it daily to fall asleep or listen to the soundtrack while studying. It is just the best. I am a serial tv show rewatcher, but I have collected so many that it would be too much to list them all but right now Wednesday is a big comfort. Thank you for sharing your journey in your notebooks with us! Have a nice day and stay safe🌻

Megan, love this video so much! Love that your favorite paper is graph (the superior type!) and the little houses (as someone with similiar experiencies, i also have my little talisms). As for comfort shows, i keep coming back to the first season of russian doll (nathasha lyonne is so GOOD in it) and fleabag's second season. For when i truly just want to wach something very familiar, its spirited away and kikis delivery service, both parts of my childhood that truly conforts me

My favorite comfort media is animal docs. I love them. It's a special interest of mine. I also love Stardust, Princess Bride, Spirited Away, Howls Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke but I don't watch them nearly as much as I should. I'm dealing with burnout cuz I just don't care for myself autistically speaking. I'm in recovery now and your channel is helping me discover what it's like to be autistic and happy.

I love the All Souls Trilogy too! I think I read that she’s picked a title for the next book.

My favorite comfort film is the first Matrix movie - love it! Thanks for the Q&A. I've been a subscriber for a while and it was still so fun to hear, especially your illustration journey 😊

i really love bbc sherlock too unfortunately 😭😭 another comfort of mine is anime and manga - one of my favourite series is called "moriarty the patriot" and it's essentially sherlock but from moriarty's POV, its so good!!!

Just found your channel and I’m loving it. Such clam vibes :)

Hmmmm, I think the first how to train your dragon film has a very special warm fuzzy place in my heart

About the blank space in the left hand side of the hobonichi weeks, you can see the faint grid. I use that to align my writing.

to answer your question at the end, my fav comfort shows are studio ghibli movies, especially howl's moving castle, and the pokemon series. But for comfort i mostly watch cozy youtube channels like yours!

I love how you use your notebooks. I have a journal that I write in regularly. It's mostly just text and not really free form. I would love to do that more but it also seems daunting to me to change the way I work in certain books, so I end up whit 4-6 different sketchbooks/journals in my bag. because I feel the need to categorise everything beforehand. But the idea of adding an other little book as a commonplace book sounds lovely 😊

The way you explained tracking your mood is so much better for me than what I’ve tried in the past using like a number scale. Thank you so much!! As soon as I heard that it clicked. I’ve always wanted to track my mood but could never figure it out 10:15

Some of my all-time favorite comfort shows are Grimm, Sleepy Hollow, The Librarians, and Warehouse 13, more on the supernaturally side and from the 2000s to early 2010s. Some people would say they're bad but they're near and dear to me

proving I’ve watched to the end, comfort show is new girl and comfort movies are skyfall, ratatouille, constantine and the grand budapest hotel. p.s. love your vids definitely a comfort watch!

My comfort show is Hilda. I love the art in it and all the beautifully illustrated little objects, and the ambiance and logic of the show is so unique and charming.

my fav comfort film would have to be the princess diaries!

Princess Mononoke brings me comfort when I watch it. The scenery, story and the music is amazing. It is also why I started archery as a kid. For comfort shows I like Laid back camp. It’s so chill and relaxing.

I love it when you upload!

I literally have not been able to stop watching Midnight Mass. Also Knives Out and Clue (which I have to watch back to back). As far as older stuff, I love watching Shrek, Under the Tuscan Sun and Saved!. Oh, and Vicar of Dibley. I also absolutely love HBOs Carnivale, which not enough people know about as far as I'm concerned.

time to binge all ur videos ive been saving ☕💝

I spend about 10-20 minutes in the morning. usually in my digital art journal but not always. It depends on my feelings and how awake I am. Then, I spend however long I need after work with a pen & paper journal. This is where I brain dump about the day & my feelings. What went well, what could have been better. I like doing it after work as it allows me to declutter the stress of the day. I can then move forward and be present in the evening with family, or be more creative in the evening as well. This takes about 30 minutes. Maybe longer, maybe shorter. I grew up watching various crime and documentary shows so I return back to them often. Studio Ghibili is a love I return back to often. I also enjoy watching RU-vid Videos. Oh! I forgot to mention -- your videos are amazing, just the way they are!

Current Special Interest comfort film is The Grand Budapest Hotel. The set is immaculate. The vibes are cozy And the humor is my kind of humor. Also there's murder. so that's always fun.

I really enjoyed the FAQ section of this video. It was really fun.

All souls fan here too 😍 so happy to hear someone talk about these books !

fleabag has gotta be my new comfort show lol

My fav comfort show is probably like Buffy or Gilmore Girls! For films, I always go back to 10 Things I Hate About You or Coraline!

that mulder and scully vinyl transported me right back to the late 90s. classic. also good welsh vibes.

good witch is one of my comfort shows, but mostly it is watching youtube videos like yours as a way of relaxing.

thank you for making these videos ❤❤ i recently found out i’m autistic and these help me regulate my emotions from the calming energy!! i’ve been journaling since 2019 and just got into sticker scrapbooking so i usually do that while i watch❤ sending love

My comfort film... i guess it's spirited away or howl's moving castle OR any other studio ghiblis,, i just love their vibe so much that i dont even know how many times i watched any of them in a year. And also, thank you Megan so much cuz through your videos i sit on my table and try to do something with my notebooks for hours with you and it's literally healing me. Especially nowadays we had a real big disaster in my country and everywhere i look i see another bad new, mentally im really not anywhere good for days. And I really needed some time for myself but couldn't make it and your videos& chats about yourself currently helping me a lot. So just wanted to thank you and its all, sorry for my weird english& really looking for your future videos with a huge interest 🤍

Sabrina with Harrison Ford is probably my top favorite comfort movie. That and A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger for sure. 😊 I appreciate your videos and continue to find them very comforting and encouraging through life's ups and downs.💚💚💚

woo! love these episodes. I think one of my comfort movies when I was younger was Beetlejuice, I could watch it over and over again.

It's so great to watch/listen to your videos and great to know that posting here on RU-vid is bringing you income and allows not to be stuck in 9-to-5 environment! My comfort show lately has been "Alf" series - watching here on RU-vid

I loved that you said you're a mood creator - I'm also a mood creator - sometimes I feel like drawing, coloring, collaging, etc. 😊

My fav comfort show is the HP movies or LOTR movies. I watch them on repeat. I like knowing the end of the story. 🤍✨

thank you so much for making this video! it was such a comfort while I wind down for the night. my favourite/comfort show has to be Dickinson (2019)!! the show is just so carefree, comedic and casually dramatic LOL. and the vibes are cottage core too which is such a perfect mix for me. while comfort movie has to be the School for Good and Evil from Netflix and The Edge of Seventeen (2016)!!

Absolutely love these videos so much! My comfort show is Pushing Daisies, and my comfort movies are The Fall (2006), A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Breakfast Club ^_^

My comfort shows/films are so cliche I worry they verge on cringe! The LOTR films are a big comfort watch for me. I also watch BBC Sherlock a lot, I can relate to what you mean it is far, far from perfect, but it got me through a bad time, so I will always be attached. I am fascinated by Victorian Gothic, and Ripper Street and Penny Dreadful ( only the first two seasons) are big comfort shows for me. The aesthetic of Penny Dreadful is just so beautiful to.

Favourite comfort films: Little Women (the winona Ryder version) The Secret Garden (the 90s one) and comfort books : Anne of Green Gables, The Wind in the Willows and Jane Eyre

Love this series of a week with your notebooks, it's so satisfying to watch!

I love these videos!! My comfort show is definitely gilmore girls (basic but great)

Bob's Burgers, criminal minds, and gravity falls are some of the shows I come back to the most. I don't really have comfort movies as much as I do shows, I do rewatch holiday movies like Home Alone during holiday season. I would say other than that Harry Potter movies are a must especially during the second half of the year. There’s something so cozy about rewatching them start autumn... I guess that’s what might make them comfort movies 😂 But also I love Halloween/spooky movies animated or not. Those vibes are just my absolute favorite 💗

I'm always so happy to watch your videos

My comfort show is definitely Xena: Warrior Princess. I really love "not so well done" fantasy shows. Merlin is another good one, or Legend of the Seeker. And for movies, it's The Labyrinth ; Except that one is an absolute masterpiece ✨️

I really enjoy this kind of videos. I usually watch them early morning on the weekends, unless I have time right when you post them. So it is always cuddled in bed with my cat or with a cup of coffee or tea. I also spend about 20 minutes to 1 hour on my book, mostly because I journal about my day or do some common-placing, depending on how I’m feeling. I really don’t do it every day, sometimes I really don’t feel it. Is more important for me that my time with my books is nice and sweet rather than a chore. However, there have been a couple times when I have spent a few hours on my book, not very good days. I feel the struggle about getting a job when you are neurodivergent. I do have a regular job, but the harm past jobs have done has not gone unnoticed. I feel like forcing myself to “fit” did me wrong, BUT it also game skills so… it was worth it I guess. However, I do not wish it to anyone and if you can choose a different path do it, just do it. I forgot. Pride and Prejudice 2005 and Dracula with Winona Rider. Those movies make me so happy. Two different things but that’s a good representation of me 😅

my favourite comfort shows/films are AHS coven, the craft, spirited away, chilling adventures ofsabrina &enola Holmes

my ultimate comfort show since 2003 was the oc,,, until my friend had me watch nbc hannibal last year resulting in the dethroning of a nearly two decade long reign. still reeling from that change in constant tbh. i really enjoy your talking segments! thanks for the comfy video~

my favorite comfort movie is spotlight (2015) lol, it is definitely not a lighthearted movie but the characters are so comforting to me for some reason. i also love the big short and clue (1985)

I had a traumatic childhood as well, and also really just want some day to have my own family + safe home. I've noticed myself in the last few years being drawn to the house doodle too. Target (in the US) sells lots of little simple ceramic home trinkets through out the year and I've collected a few. I love your channel + I really resonated with what you said in your post 💕 thank you for sharing with us 🥺

Any Jane Austen related film/show is my absolute comfort..but your videos are right along there as well :)

I love how you openly admit the school notebooks. The stationery cupboard was the best place!
