do ya'll ever have a special interest/perma-fixation for soooo fuckn long that you forget it's technically a spin/fixation and don't even rlly think of it that way anymore??

no it's not homestuck

i've literally loved art and drawing since i could hold a fuckn crayon. i've been drawing my ENTIRE life, and I never stopped. I'm in art school now!!! I might NEVER stop. even when it wasn't bringing me as much joy I'm always doodling and I'm always looking at things through an artistic lense; "oh that would make a cool drawing!!!" "i love the colors on that thing!!" "i would never wear that but [x oc or x character] would look AMAZING in it!" "I should take a picture of that, just in case i need it for a future project!"

and I can talk for HOURS about my art, my artistic process, how i learn and what i've learned and what was good for my artistic growth from my first year of art school to when i was just coloring the fucking alphabet robots in kindergarten!

I can also talk for hours about film making and movies, which is another form of art. I pause movies and shows i'm watching with my dad to point out why a certain shot is interesting or how certain shots or lightings contribute to the tone or, if i know background knowledge, how a scene was made and how the sets were made and how much work was put into maybe like, a few seconds of what we're watching!!! I watch movies and, especially with horror, I'm constantly thinking abt how it was shot, the prop design, the costuming, if the effects were CGI or practical or both, how COOL the practical effects are or how REAL or even, tbh BAD the CGI looks.

I've always been interested in this but I consider filmmaking and horror movies and horror in general to be a definite special interest, where as with art, because it's just been so fucking long and consistent, i hesitate even mentioning it bcs it feels obvious to me.

i didn't mean to type this much whoops-

I can totally relate to this (I wouldn’t say I’m autistic since I haven’t gotten diagnosed yet but I may or may not be autistic. ecause getting to talk about it to doctors or getting a therapist is hard) but yeah I’ve always been into art ever since I could remember and it almost seems to be my whole personality. It does make me anxious if my only personality is just my art but pretty much all my interests come from loving art. I’m also in an art magnet high school so I’m kind of always surrounded by art. It makes me really happy and I’m going to stop here before it gets way too long

(Slight Cap warning!!)

I’ve had an obsession with danganronpa since legit 2019 crying its actually how I found my gf, so perhaps that’s why I’m still so obsessed with it??? Basically we used to joke around that we were irl saiouma (shuichi x kokichi) and eventually as months went by it became less of a “flirting bc of the saiouma thing” and “flirting bc we like each other” LOL

ignore that mini ramble abt my gf lol, anyways since we started dating she’s drifted in and out of it, ME ON THE OTHER HAND??? My ass has been for talking about it absolutely 24/7. I NEVER shut up about danganronpa, even with friends that have literally never even heard of it. Since then we’ve drifted from liking saiouma to liking kiirouma (kiibo x miu x kokichi) but me and her are still CONSTANTLY talking about it with our other friends. We could go on for literally hours and hours and hours about kiirouma, and hours and hours and hours abt our headcanons, rps we’ve done, etc.

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUBJECT THAT IM FIXATED ON RIGHT NOW, mine and my gf’s ocs. We’ve been making ocs together since around early 2021, and ever since we’ve been absolutely obsessed with them. It went from just making ocs and projecting things abt our relationship onto them, to literally making fully complex, overly confusing stories that don’t make sense to LITERALLY anybody but us LMAO and I’m totally fixated on their stories and absolutely everything about them right now. One character in specific I am absolutely in LOVE with right now is my character named kenai. i love him bc he’s absolutely hilarious and i have SO MUCH fun with him. he’s such a comfort character to me because instead of my other ocs, where i felt i had to fit into certain norms with ocs, i can just have fun with kenai. he’s weird af and i love him for it laughlaughlaugh
