    What are you reading?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Currently reading Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett. I finished reading Soul Music this week so this one is up next since I'm reading the Discword books in the order they were published. I also just finished Debate Kids at the End of the World by Alex Nonymous which I read in two afternoons. Mostly I've been reading Discword books recently with the occasional short queer YA novel in between so I don't get tired of reading the same style all the time. Because as much as I enjoy Terry Pratchett 's writing style there's over 40 of these books and I'm three books shy of being halfway through so I'm trying to make sure there is at least a little bit of variety in there. 

    My favorite book just in general is Good Omens which I love for far too many reasons to list here.

    As for genres, I always like a good mystery of pretty much any variety. I tend to read a lot of queer YA novels because they're fun and I like seeing how much more representation is in books these days and they're like the book equivalent of a comfort food to me especially if they're short enough to get through in a day and I've just finished reading something heavier. I also think a lot of stuff with scifi or fantasy elements is really neat. Sometimes I like horror too but I tend to be kind of picky when it comes to that.

    thats fine

    honestly dont worry about necroposting. The site has a function which locks off replies on really (really really) old threads so that bit doesnt matter. as for new threads, go ahead and make them. Most people arent going to trawl through all the old topics to find stuff like this so honestly, putting up a new one which goes to the top of the category is great and tends to get more new responses. 

    It really doesnt matter if a couple of things are roughly the same.

    Oh okay, thanks for letting me know!

    Nita Sanchez and Kovit Sangwaraporn — Market of Monsters by Rebecca Schaeffer— aroace — queerplatonic partners in crime conquering a semi-magical black market

    Morgan Hault — The Great Library by Rachel Caine — aromantic — she and the main character play out a Standard YA Romantic SubplotTM then realize “oh crap… we’re in a Standard YA Romantic SubplotTM“ and just stay best friends instead (it’s hilarious)

    Emma Robledo — Sidekick Squad by C. B. Lee — aroace — superhero without powers who is smarter than all the other protagonists

    Vanja Ros and Emeric Conrad — Little Thieves by Margaret Owen — demiromantic demisexual — a thief and a “sanctimonious coatrack” detective-ing, making friends, and dealing with that one time Vanja accidentally started a cult

    Sal Vidon — Sal and Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos Hernandez — aromantic — I’m just living for the line “If you were any more aro, I’d shoot you out of a bow.”

    Glain Wathen — The Great Library by Rachel Caine — aroace — token badass leading an army to overthrow the dystopian Library of Alexandria

    Adair — Market of Monsters by Rebecca Schaeffer — aromantic — ice cream-loving kelpie who jokes about his murder basement

    I will definitely be checking some of these out they sound awesome!

    do aromantic people watch/read romance media?

    Yeah totally.

    At the last a-spec meetup I went to, after Heartstopper came up in conversation because of the new season we actually spend around and hour talking about romance media and afterwards shipping and fanfics and at least three of the people at the table who talked about liking that stuff where aromantic (there was also a group of new people there and i don't know how all of them identify so it might have been more) so yeah there definitely are aros who do like romance media. 

    But I should also mention that four people ditched us to go play Uno because the topic wasn't all that interesting to them.

    You can either depict the movie/show title literally or you can summarize the plot in some way. As long as it's recognizable and isn't a spoiler for those who haven't seen it anything is okay

    To start things off here's a movie:

    And a show:

    Do you (and anyone else) hate the feeling of not having a current hyperfixation? I do bc it just makes me feel kind of lost. And then I'm going through my list of things in my head that I like, and none of them seem interesting atm, and I just have a few days where I don't really do anything because nothing interests me. And I'm tired bc I just spent a bunch of energy burning through a hyperfixation, and it's hard to get started again.

    I do feel a bit off and restless during those times and am always on the lookout for a cool new thing but usually I just end up focusing on my special interests instead during those periods of time

    Since I saw a lot of fellow autistic people and ADHDers in this thread: I want to hear about you guys' hyperfixations/special interests.

    What's cool stuff that makes your brain go brrr?

    With special interests for me it's Fiction Podcasts, B.O.B. TTRPGs, Good Omens in all it's forms (the book is my favorite though), art in general and things that blend genres specifically? I know thats kinda vague but it is a topic I can talk about for ages and am low-key obsessed with and last but not least: Homestuck. I'm serious that webcomic permanently lives in my brain.

    My last hyperfixation which was FRUiTS magazine and generally a lot of fashion and fashion history related stuff is kinda in the process of dying down so I think right now I don't have a current hyperfixation
