I am critical of what I consume. I do not endorse anything that is shown in my interests. What I like in fiction does not reflect or represent my views in the outside world.
Bolded = what is spoken about most often by my collective.
Vidya: Dead by Daylight (massive lore enthusiast, I recently began playing again after avoiding it), Identity V, Cry of Fear/Afraid of Monsters, TCOAAL, Degrees of Lewdity, Roblox (Regretevator and Forsaken), Diabolik Lovers (HDB + MB), Undertale & Deltarune, Danganronpa (All), YTTD, specific visual novels…, Life is Strange (2015+BtS & LiS2 are my favorites. I despise LiS3, Wavelengths and Double Exposure.. +whatever they’re making now) & all of Gatobob’s games (personal favs are TPoF, BtD2 & YKMET: Strade).
Please feel free to ask about any other games you think I might be into, chances are I’ve heard of it (or I like it). I love video games. What’s listed above is what’s significant to me.
(web)Comics/Books: Scott Pilgrim + film, Colorless, Homestuck, Ranfren, Nine Stones, Secret Alliance, Inside Voices, Warrior Cats, Percy Jackson series + graphic novels, Mysterious Skin + film, Ringu trilogy (Rest in Paradise, Koji Suzuki),The Mortal Instruments+graphic novels (currently getting into, listed because it’s special to my partner and.. me!).
Miscellaneous: Lots of Music (the good, the bad and the unlistenable), Film+TV, Marine Life & Animals, Furry Fandom & Fursuit Making, YaoiYuri/BLGL Media, Adult Cartoons, Animation, Archived/Old Websites & Web, Real Person Fiction, ARGs, Creepypasta/Slenderverse, Eroguro/Guro, Media Analysis, Vulture Culture & Preservation of Bones, Roadkill (+ I am an amateur roadkill photographer), Internet Mysteries & Online Rabbit-Holes, Old Tech, Lost Media Hunting, Lost-Found Footage & Homemade Videos + Movies, Video Editing, Photography.. The Arts In General, Haunting/SFX Horror+Costume Making, Halloween, Occultism, Spirituality &others..
AniManga: BSD (Please fucking free me from my chamber), Durarara, Naruto, Hetalia, RWBY, Yu-Gi-Oh(+TCG), Tokyo Ghoul, Pokémon(+TCG), Kuroshitsuji, Death Note, Alice in Borderland (+live action), Litchi Hikari Club (+movie&stage play), Diabolik Lovers (I prefer the games, but I love #mygarbage).
… Again, I love animanga and I’ve heard of/like a lot of animanga but these are just what matter to me the most.
My main special interests are things I revert back to without fault. It has been, and always will be horror. Specifically: internet horror (Slenderverse, Creepypasta & ARGs), horror games (Gatobob’s games, CoF & DbD) and some horror films (ask!). Horror is my lifelong special interest, it is restrictive and all consuming for me. I try to find it in everything. My favorite horror genres are death games (best), torture porn, psychosexual, supernatural/the occult & lost-found footage. My special interests always fall under these categories one way or another and yes, these themes extend to animangames.
My special interests are crucial to me and are formative to my development as both a person and my system. I take great comfort and sanctuary in them. To me they are not just something I consume. It’s far more personal than consumption. They are apart of me (and those in my brain)! My spins are very far from casual and I get intense about them. My hyperfixations also function similarly and my passive interests can turn into hyperfixations for long periods episodically.
- I collect CDs, DVDs, (I would like to collect VHS & cassette in the future) books turned into film productions & horror memorabilia. My collection is small but ever-growing. I get most/if not all my merchandise and books secondhand.
Closing Notes :
This is not a full comprehensive list of everything I like or every single media I’ve ever been into. But rather my core interests and what has always stuck with me. I like many things but I wanted this list to be as genuine as possible.
Please do not compete with me over my special interests and regular interests. It really hurts my feelings and I dislike it when people brag about if they’ve liked something longer than me, or attempt to one-up me. I think it’s childish and your insecurity is louder and more obvious than you think.
