these are all serious

DO NOT come at me asking me why or how any of these are my special interests (the answer is that i don't know because i don't choose what i am interested in). i don't wanna hear it. this includes the characters

standard

• aesthetics
• character design
• colors and color palettes
• content rating systems
• dress up games
• fashion
• fidget/stim toys
• fonts
• food, especially cheese and most desserts
• gemstones/crystals/etc
• languages and linguistics
• logos/audiovisual identity stuff
• love nikki outfits (not shining nikki)
• magical girls
• malls
• names and naming conventions
• numismatics
• pokemon
• rare mental illnesses, genetic conditions, autoimmune conditions, etc
• sad/angsty stuff in fiction
• tvtropes

when the autism is too autistic and your special interest is just a character (not even the source. it's just them)

• dale from king of the hill
• faz from shortpacked
• mayaya from princess jellyfish
• mr. freeze from batman
• nomad from nomad of nowhere
• rgb from the property of hate
• rocky from lackadaisy
• rouxls kaard from deltarune
• sasha from psychonauts
• starscream from transformers

cannot tell whether special interest or just frequently reoccuring hyperfixation

• fractals
• marbles
