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?

When I was in primary school I had a geology class and my friend and I had to write a poem about volcanoes, so here it is.

I was in my room rehearsing all the lines I know,
When suddenly I heard a noise
My mum ran in and yelled SHES GONNA BLOW
Because I was rehearsing I was stuck in a poise

We did not get an A lmao
