What are your special interests?

Hello!!! I’m just curious what other people’s special interests or hyperfixations are :) I have so many!! Currently I’m really into the geology of yellowstone (just started reading the book i had bought when I went on a roadtrip to yellowstone a year and a half ago!!), and I looove biology, chemistry, space science, and engineering. Anyone share these? what other ones do you guys love?

My special interests and hyper fixations like to overlap and duke it out over topics, so sometimes it’s hard to depict the difference, but I’m super into psychology(particularly abnormal psychology, qnd diagnosing people), queer history, aaaaaand Minecraft Youtubers. :’ The fact that this community doesn’t shame each other for the special interests, even when it’s something that society would deem “childish” really makes me feel welcome. With a lot of neurotypicals it’s like, dammit, let me talk about my silly little Minecraft boys without wondering why a college student loves it so much.

Prehistory, psychology, genetics and anything related to it, as well as Celtic history and mythology. I'm trying to get back into my childhood dinosaur hyperfixation. I'm not sure if it's a hyperfixation or special interest, but I LOVE zombie things even if I get scared easily lol. I'm also an artist :)

As a collective our SpIn is dinosaurs, multiple facets of psychology, slime, Adventure Time, and kind of nature in general. Our major SpIns that are largely alter specific are Wolves, blue hole(s) (our local one mainly but kind of in general), Rats, gardening, dogs, ADHD, sharks, and transgender healthcare.
