you are well known for being a mastermind of toh fic but what're your other favourite shows/media in general? and if nothing else is interesting rn that's okay too!

ooh let me think... i like lots of things but often tend to forget stuff i don't have an intense, enduring interest in.

so lately i've been very into the Locked Tomb series. i also really love the Murderbot series. i've read two good stand-alone gothic horror novels recently, Mexican Gothic and Leech. i'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett and have read a ton of his books. also regrettably a fan of Stephen King. ASOIAF too, i'm still waiting on The Winds of Winter, and i have OPINIONS about Emmy-award winning television series Game of Thrones (derogatory.)

as far as shows go... cartoons-wise, i've watched some Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and really liked it! i was in Gravity Falls fandom for a bit of time right after the show ended too. i have an enduring love for my personal favorite shitty copaganda show, White Collar. i still miss The Get-Down every day. i loved Breaking Bad and started Better Call Saul and loved it but haven't continued because it's just very heavy, every episode takes a while to digest. i had a huge anime phase as a kid and teenager so i was very into Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, and FMA - those are probably my personal big three. i've been watching original flavor Trigun recently and i'm almost done and like it a lot! Wolfwood and Vash and Knives are all soooo molested holy shit.

i was in The Magnus Archives fandom before i got into TOH, but i don't really listen to many other podcasts.

i also really like video games! i tend to collect and never finish them, but i've played a bit of a lot of them. right now i'm playing My Time At Portia, Disco Elysium, and the Steam release of Dwarf Fortress, a game i've been poking at since the 20teens, back when you had to download tilesets yourself if you didn't want ASCII graphics. Sid Meier's Civilization series is a favorite; i started playing 5 and have been absolutely obsessed with 6 since it came out, although i have yet to actually finish a game, lmao. i think i have over 1k hours in 6 in steam. Humankind is also a very good Civ-like 4x. Masters of Orion is an old-school scifi 4x that i love. i also really like Blizzard's Diablo series, 2 and 3, but i can't play 3 because my computer always thinks the Blizzard launcher is spyware and freaks out when i try to install it. :o( sad about that. Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale and Long Live The Queen are also very fun ones. a friend got me to try out Morrowind but i keep forgetting to keep up with it. i have also played Pokemon since the first generation came out on gameboy color (my first was Blue version) and my fave generation is Ruby and Sapphire! i have a playthrough of White version currently on hold right before i challenge the Elite Four.

as far as consoles go, the Switch is the most recent one i have. i played The World Ends With You on DS and loved it, also an enduring obsession, so when TWEWY 2 came out i snapped that shit up so fast, but i haven't finished it yet either. ACNH, of course. before it broke my ps2 was my favorite console - i loved the .hack games and have played all of them except number 4. loved the Fatal Frame games, played but never finished Persona 3. one of my favorite weird little games is this one called Baroque where you have to go down this tower and it's kind of a roguelike? never finished that one but it was cool.

also, i like some webcomics! i was into Homestuck during its heyday, and right now my favorite one is called Unsounded, which i would recommend for people who like dark stuff, gorgeously rendered gore, political machinations, and complex characters who are often shitty people.

and uhhh... that's all i can really think of off the top of my head!
