Currently trying to recall all my past and ongoing media hyper fixations (minus music as if I even attempt to list all the songs and artists that I have become obsessed with I will be driven even madder than I already am). As of now, the number has reached twenty-one, ten being dead and five being fleeting or 'I would if I coulds.' I say as of now because, as crazy as this sounds, I often completely forget something I have been/am feverishly consumed and obsessed by. All in all, considering my age, my forgetfulness and the fact that this list doesn't include music, animals, people, communities, ships, hobbies/activities, certain characters, celebrities, influencers, book ideas, clothes/styles and probably a lot more that I have neglected to remember, I think my obsessive brain has done pretty well for itself. Here is the (incomplete) list below:
Ongoing (Italics are under the ALWAYS & FOREVER subcategory) - Good Omens, The Magnus Archives, Sherlock BBC, Wings of Fire, Hamilton, Hazbin Hotel
Fleeting/I Would If I Could (Remembered with fondness and love) - House MD, What We Do In The Shadows, Jojo Rabbit, The Marvel Universe, Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun
Dead (But incredibly capable of revival in the form of new content/rewatching) - Ok Ko Let's Be Heroes, Our Flag Means Death, Helluva Boss, Demon Slayer KNY
Dead And Buried - Countryhumans (don't judge me, I was young), The Inheritance Cycle, Harry Potter, Crime Show, Spy X Family, Buddy Daddies
And there you have it. There's more, of course, just give me time to remember them... Perhaps one day I'll have created a full and extensive list of ALL my hyper fixations, not just my media ones, although I highly doubt it. For science, obviously. I think it would be interesting to see what my soul is capable of becoming emotionally attached to.

I only have 2 books left in the Throne of Glass series and I'm dying to read them but I have so much stuff to do for school I might actually burst out of my skin at any given moment. Worst part is, I think I would've kept on reading had it not been for the fact that I have books to read for class, and if given the choice between ToG and "Image Manipulation in Contemporary Art", I'd hesitate, pick up the theoretical essay, read a page, take notes, simmer with the unspoken energy of a thousand bright-burning stars about to supernova, and pick up ToG again. Speaking from experience here.

you spent hours in libraries and in art supply stores trying to absorb the artist tips from books your parents didn't want to buy you. on each page of every "how to draw" is a version of the same four things: this is how you shade a sphere. this is how you shade a cone.
this is what a man looks like. he is hard and angular and jutting. his chest narrows a triangle down to his sharp hip and long legs. his jawbone is a square. he is powerful, imposing, his hands are big and meaty. he is a leader.
this is what a woman looks like. she is soft and her hands tuck her long hair back behind a delicate ear. she is big-eyed and round (but not too round, she is skinny, here is the faint sketch of her abs showing), she is smaller and lighter and pretty. she has thick black lashes and her tits do not come with a massive ribcage to offset the weight we put on her - she has curves, but they are impossibly slim without giving her backache trouble. there is a large red hourglass outlined on top of her figure, the way there is a triangle outlined on top of the man. her face is a heart-shape, and her lips are pouting.
here is how you draw the woman and the man together. the man should be in action shots. the woman's ass should be in action shots. she should fit against the man to compliment his negative space - she should slot into his shadow so when they hug, they become one uniform space. here is how all the other artists have done it, see how good it looks when the man (angles, fire, passion, action) and the woman (roundness, water, emotion, supplication) complement each other? he begins the sentence, she is his ending.
do you want to kiss another girl? that is round-to-round. that is fitting the wire into the wrong socket! how would the faces look together? a single silhouette you sketch and then hide, scribbling over it.
do you want to look like a girl? by sheer genetic happenstance, you absolutely don't look like that, and you never have. you don't look like a man, either, though, do you. you don't feel like you truly belong to either gender, but there is not a "neutral/fluid" drawing in the book. there is male (triangle) or female (hourglass).
but you have a square jaw and square hands and "masculine" proportions. but you have curves and roundness and full lips and "feminine" features. someone online says, definitively, that any form of gender noncompliance is "a mental illness." this comment has over one thousand likes from people who agree.
here is how you shade a square. none of the clothes at the store look good on you, you always somehow feel like you're wearing a weird kind of costume. here is how you shade a sphere. your friend's mother calls the school because she's horrified you're in the same changing room. here is the neutral body figure: it is a wooden man. technically the wooden man is genderless, but that is because masculinity is the default, and everyone calls the figure "a wooden man." you must be small and posable and skinny and featureless, then you can be masculine enough to not have gender.
here is how to draw a person. begin with some shapes. choose the right shapes to get that person's gender correct. do not kiss her. shade in short, sharp lines.
when she laughs, look away.

"Rinderle is the first known public school teacher to be fired under Georgia’s trio of censorship laws passed in 2022. They are the Protect Students’ Rights Act, commonly known as the “divisive concepts” law; a “Parents’ Bill of Rights;” and one known as the “harmful to minors law,” which allows for the removal or restriction of materials parents deem “pornographic” or otherwise harmful. Together, the laws censor class discussion, give parents the right to refuse instruction they disagree with and ban “offensive” reading materials from school libraries.
If Rinderle’s experience is any indication, she will not be the last to be terminated, advocates say."
"To this day, the district has never answered Rinderle’s main question: What exactly does “divisive concepts” mean?"
