OP, let me know if you want to add a body and I will unlock it. Message me via Matrix at @backonmybs:matrix.org
It’s like a special interest that you memorize loads of data about. For me it’s fish and aquariums… I fucking love aquariums
Currently Brandon Sanderson audiobooks, but usually videogames
A fixation is something I am eager to interact with it a majority of the time, often to the exclusion of other stuff I need or want.
