i was watching one of my favorite content creator ( SomeOne PM ??? the undertale person ) and saw their identity v video when i was little and i think was around 2019ish , i got curious and checked it out for myself.. in the end i got so invested in it and i still am today
funnily enough i got into the beatles because of my ex-boyfriend. i used to not like them at all, actually! not just because the internet always made fun of them and i wanted to follow that, but also because of a classmate of ours i didn't like. and then i listened to them for the first time and realized they weren't so bad.
explaining homestuck is much easier though. i already knew about hs before but i never really cared about it. then a youtuber i like made an fnf mod depicting one of the various moments there [if you know what i'm talking about, no you don't /j] and only then i considered checking it out.
my favorite interest is actually coquette / nymphet fashion and aesthetics and I found out about it through Tumblr in like 2019
I was at my grandmas house in like 2018 with nothing to do so I scrolled through the cartoon network channel and found unikitty so I watched all of it, really liked it, then watched it on hulu from like 2018-2020. HOORAY.
i have like 4 interests i'd consider my favorites atm so...
ummm hsr was just because it was a new hoyoverse game and it looked fun. i assumed i was gonna play it for a week and then stop but. that did not happen!
bsd was because my best friend recommended it to me because it seemed like something i would like, and that i would probably like dazai... he was right unsurprisingly! took me a long time to finish the anime though (i suck at watching new shows for some reason π)
persona 5 was because of rtgame's persona 5 royal playthrough... i was hooked so quickly during the kamoshida arc and i wanted to check it out for myself LOL
and fortnite was because one of my other friends was super obsessed with it... we wanted more stuff to play together so i was willing to give it a try! i played a fair amount during wilds (chapter 4 - season 3) and a bit before that, but i only got super obsessed during last resort (chapter 4 - season 4, aka the season with kado...)
when i was watching episode 9 of bsd the sexual tension between dazai and chuuya was actually insane and they instantly became my favorite ship ever
woke up one day really liking toxic doomed yaoi
My caretakers thought it was a good idea to let a toddler watch horror movies. It's my entire personality now.
I discovered Osomatsu-san over a wattpad fanfic ( lemon sadly ) and the character I read about was Ichimatsu π
My favourite character out of the whole franchise is Osomatsu ( i have a whole 'shrine'/shelf dedicated to him )
I discovered Genshin way before I got into it. My friends played it and were really hype about it. I only started playing recently when my partner started playing, and now two red-haired men have me on a chokehold.
My dad recommended it to me sometime in November or December of 2023 even though he hadn't read it himself because I had asked him for recommendations and he had heard that it's good. Well dad it's good, very good, so good in fact that I've been hyperfixated on for almost a year, thanks dad
Supernatural/Ghosts: My Oma/Granny put on a ton of ghost hunting shows in the background when I was 5, 6 or 7. That lead into other related interests.
TLoZ franchise: Got introduced to Zelda: The Wind Waker at 8 yrs old. It increased in intensity once I saw a trailer for Majora's Mask 3D, and I learned more about the other games.
Splatoon: Saw a trailer for it in 2014, immediately latched on to it.
Bonus (Coroika): I once bought the first Splatoon Manga Vol. without realizing how big of deal the manga series would be to me years later, but I really did like Rider, Army and Aloha from it. Team Blue was just so out of pocket at times though, I laughed way too much back then TuT
too many favorite interests :skull:
Last December I went to my local mall, and noticed they were opening a vinyl & CD store so when it opened i went in [with my brother and dad] as we were all looking around i was looking through some of the vinyls there and picked up one [three cheers for sweet revenge] and asked my brother "are they good?" and he said yeah so I started listening to them ππ»
First my favorite interest is psychology, but it was so random, I was just in class talking about mental health and stuff and I went to home and just started liking psychology π€ͺ
