Darren

General

I'm extremely stereotypically "nerdy", and my interests reflect such. Primarily being Tech, Coding, Sci-Fi & Fantasy. TTRPGs, specifically D&D and V:TM as well as other games in that vein that are heavier in the RPG aspect.

I like Cameras, Photography, Cinematography and Video Production, Video Editing. Movies are an extremely big interest of mine, as well as media in general and art, in all of its forms. Horror, Drama and Art-House films.

Also interested in Body Modification, Tattoos as well as Piercings, which I currently have 3 of. Jewelery, Fashion and Self-Expression are big parts of me.

Preservation, Sustainability, Second-Hand, Thrifting, Antiques & Ephemera, Upcycling. Nature, Ecology. History, Anthropology, Humans & Civilization. Indigenous, Disability & Queer Rights. Politics, primarily left-wing political theory, Feminism, Communism & Socialism. Sociology, Neurology, Philosophy, Psychology, Theology.

The Rock-afire Explosion & Munch's Make Believe Band (and Related Animatronic Bands), Puppets, Alternate Reality Games, Digital Horror, Collecting & Collectables, Trinkets, Winnie The Pooh, Peanuts, Moominvalley, Miffy (Nijntje), Sanrio, Universal Monsters, Critical Role, Dimension 20. People-Watching, Wildlife-Viewing. Professional Wrestling, mainly Stardom, AEW & Indie Wrestling. I mainly like Womens Wrestling, Deathmatch Wrestling & Hardcore Wrestling.

I'm a self-shipper & self-inserter, though I don't take either seriously myself and am completely fine sharing my "Fictional Others". I also don't participate heavily in the self-shipping community, though I have no upset with anyone that does or is a self-shipper. Not a therian or furry (though, I suppose the latter is up to debate?) but I do use and heavily enjoy animal and inhuman terms. Objectum (and POSIC), though mostly platonic, queer-platonic or familial, and with private objects. I am perfectly fine with interacting with any of these people, regardless of differences and welcome everyone! The only people I wish not to interact with are Self-Harm/ED encouragement posters or people belonging to the True Crime Community. I like True Crime but am deeply oppossed to the fetishization and idolization of people who commit these actions, or the idea of a "fandom" around them.

I also like World-Building, Writing, Reading & Languages. Primarily interested in Pidgin Languages, Algospeak & Netspeak, Constructed Languages and Indigenous Languages.

Music

Pretentious shit you'd hear playing on a college radio. No, but really I like all music (and love radio stations, though mostly college radio). Anti-gatekeeping and love to share lesser-known bands. I also love to find local bands from the ATL area. I listen to a wide amount of artists, genres and different kinds of music, rather than sticking with one or two.

Television

I mostly watch dramas and horror. Animation. Children's Television. Most of the TV fandoms I'm in are for kid/family-friendly media. Huge fan of SpongeBob Squarepants and it's related media.

Television is one of the forms of media where I will obsessively rewatch shows rather than seeking new shows or content. I have extreme pathological demand avoidance and despite wanting to branch out and watch new content this effects me heavily. I always appreciate recommendations for shows, but please do not get upset if I don't end up watching them.

Twin Peaks, The Pitt, Gen V, Yellowjackets, Stranger Things, Mindhunter, Queen's Gambit, Interview with the Vampire, Criminal Minds, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones & House of the Dragon. Daria, King of The Hill, Smiling Friends, The Great North, Bob's Burgers, Haunted Hotel.

Currently delving into the works of Osamu Dazai, particularly reading Schoolgirl (1939) at the moment.
