What stuff are you into the most? For writing but also for you irl

let me see let me see... the one thing i can confidently say is that my stories will always be modernist, very psychology driven, probably with emotionally complex characters and loooots of trauma. i've said this before i think but i love exploring stigmatized or taboo mental illnesses and undiagnosed / undiagnos*able* (rare or specific) conditions because i think it's a fun way to enrich texts. more specifically i like exploring these kinds of topics in sex. i know it might not seem like it but all the smut i've ever written (except maybe my one shot a deal is a deal) i've written solely for plot purposes and specifically to play around with different dynamics, actions and reactions, the influence of different natures/nurtures / mental illnesses / conditions / habits on these. so on and so forth. i guess that's my main interest in writing and also irl! i briefly considered studying psychology because it's one of the topics that interests me the most, along with behavioral sciences and psychiatry.

currently another somewhat related fixation of mine is film analysis, i enjoy studying and discovering how mise en scène appeals to the audience, what kind of staging decisions are made to create a certain effect or reaction, etc. once again, circling back to the psychology of audiovisual media.

what else... i'm a music person definitely! i play lots of instruments. i enjoy wearing noise cancelling airpods, putting on music, closing my eyes, and paying very close attention to whatever i'm listening to. it's an amazing sensory experience. i don't get tired of replaying the same songs over and over because listening so closely to them leads me to discover new details every time and it never gets boring. in addition to that i also focus on decomposition of layers, so i basically zero in on every specific sound and instrument i can hear in the track, pull it apart in my brain, identify it, and then uniquely listen to it unfold throughout the song. it's incredible discovering stuff you didn't even know was there! small things that add so much to a song without being conspicuous. i myself have very specific types of sounds that scratch my brain just right, for example any kind of plucking, especially deeper pizzicato notes in violin / cello. that along with background orchestras, saxophone riffs, and background vocals. god i love background vocals!!! my favorite are basslines and drones, which are basically the lower harmonies to the original melody. and harmonic stacks are also amazing. it's part of the reason why i love billie eilish songs so much — her music is very detail heavy and really appeals to my raging need to overanalyze everything kdjdkjs.

aside from that... hm. i guess this is gonna sound weird but school is a major source of interest for me. i like studying. i like having my routines and learning things, and i like how rewarding it is to learn everything i need to know and receiving compensation for it. not studying for tests or not knowing absolutely everything i need to know is incredibly stressful for me. yeah i'm one of those annoying people that constantly claims not to know anything a day before the exam and that is certain they'll fail and then gets straight As on all my tests, i'll admit it. but studying and having a routine helps me keep myself motivated, active, productive, and fulfilled. i like training my brain and i like being considered advanced or above average in things that are not typical of my age (no bragging intended).

hand in hand with that, i enjoy literary analysis a lot. i'm taking english and spanish language and literature cambridge exams and i find that studying semiology and later on writing analytical essays with my own interpretation of different themes and features of a story is. quite fun.

anyways i think i digressed from the question a bit so i apologize for rambling. i hope this answers your question. i believe i don't have any definite interests that i can mention by name, i definitely have temporary fixations but i'm not defined by distinct areas of interests, it's more of a general globe of things that are somewhat related so i tried my best at explaining djksjdjd hope it helps
