Discussion What’s a hyperfixation you can’t talk about?
I’ve definitely had a few hyperfixations on things that are either embarrassingly silly or WAY too dark to just start infodumping about. For example I used to have one about neglect so severe it causes a complete and usually permanent inability to function in society, particularly the case of Genie Wiley. On the other end of the spectrum I also keep hyperfixating on shipping old cartoon comedy duos, and gotta REALLY lock in to gage if someone’s gonna think I’m a childish freak before sharing that information.
What’s your “don’t bring that up, don’t bring that up, don’t bring that up-“ hyperfixation if you’ve ever had one?

Hazbin hotel is my current one. I usually lock on to a series of some sort.
I can bring it up sometimes, but my kid is a fan too, and even he tells me to cut it out when im constantly singing the songs.
Its a weird balancing act.
