The Hyperfixations Thread

[☣Uzi Doorman!☣]

Queer History (Specifically the Lesbian Separation of 1950) is one of my special interests and probably the only useful one-

Besides that I LOVE Object shows, Murder Drones and Dandy's World!

I used to be fixated on Regretevator too but sadly the creator is a piece of crud so I don't play it as much anymore

So far my main hyperfixation is The Denpa Men. A new game came out this year and I’ve been playing it a lot. Another fixation I have is Voidpets and I want to be able to make OCs out of both games.

currently - baldur's gate 3!!! i got it last year a few weeks after release, was absolutely OBSESSED for months, and over the last year and a half the fixation has waned and flared back up!

coming back to this to say it has very rapidly become arcane after watching the end of season 2 a few days ago. i am gnawing at the bars of my enclosure for someone to talk to over this show T_T

[kleptic.skeptics]

Roblox games (5 in specific), collecting my WL on here, mini brand collecting, The Good Place, drawing my OCs, and working on window at work.. which is such a weird phenomenon

i've been REALLY into webfishing in the last few weeks. also i can feel the chicken smoothie obsession taking hold as it does once every few months-years.

I have been on a literary analysis kick over the last several weeks. Reading and writing in-depth essays about some of my favorite novels, listening to video essays deconstructing Harry Potter, etc. One of my favorite books to analyze has been Watership Down, a book that I first read all the way back in middle school and have remained deeply in love with ever since.

currently my biggest, and longest special interest of 3 years is the band Depeche Mode! i know basically everything there is to know about them and it's a bit concerning how many hours i've dedicated to them lol. they've been my top artist for 3 years on wrapped, too! really love them. everyone needs to hear them before they die

[angst]

omg my favorite question ever lol

current hypserfixations include:

- deciding a place to move to/live potentially, including researching intentional communities, home ownership, climate resiliency, etc. also getting really into understanding natural (and unnatural) disasters. i LOVE to plan and scheme. i feel like I know a lot about how climate change is going to impact the US now lmao!

- chickensmoothie! always! CS only became a hyperfixation for me about 2 December 18ths ago (so 2 years) when I pulled the latest UR the UR rainbow/holo dog. I was suddenly thrown back into the trading game and have been super into it ever since!

- mental health, especially of youth and families. it's the field I work in. and how to use a disability justice lens to advocate for kids rights in schools to have proper accommodations and support for their disabilities.

- love pokemon, ofc. long time fan.

- SURVIVOR. my FAVORITE show. omg. omg. omg.

- radical politics always!

my partner is autistic and these are literally their hyperfixations lol! like to a T! same timeline, BG3, waned, now back up again, now arcane haha. i love it

Right now it's Jujutsu Kaisen. I'm also watching Demon Slayer but I wouldn't say it's a hyperfixation by any means. The JJK brain rot, however, is very real.

STILL JJK but also dog genetics??

HAHAHA I feel this so hard, I got SUPER into snake genetics for awhile and had like 5 snakes!!! i thought I was going to end up as snake breeder when I was in HS hahaha. it's real! super interesting stuff!
