I listened to a podcast about why having special interest is so important to generate your own personality and to be human and i want to talk about microfixations specially art related ones (music, books, movies, art pieces, video games even..)

I think out there there's the perfect piece (or pieces) of art for everyone and not all people have the fortune to find it. by perfect piece i talk about any piece of media that resonates with you in a deeper level than any other art piece has resonated with you. For me that would be Twin Peaks, i haven't even finished it (im on the third season) but i never felt the interest i'm feeling with this show with anything else, i could talk about it for hours. It has also happened to me with the Hunger games, i think is a contemporary classic, i even made my final highschool project about the representation of dystopia in fiction and the real world with the hunger games as my main piece of reference.

what are your microfixations?

So…. I saw on booktok my favorite author has mentioned Israel in a minor character in this novel? And it’s just a neutral non important character? Is this true? I don’t have context as I don’t have an arc. It’s allegedly ~75% into the novel. Is this character later mentioned again or do we truly just have that one blurb and have our anti-colonialism queen normalizing Israel??? 😭😭😭😭

Edit to add: I am staunchly anti-Zionist. I am NOT antisemitic. I am not immune to being uninformed but would love to take any measure to eliminate any bias that I can.
