Any new source of inspiration (e.g. songs, books, films, or any media) you’ve encountered for your WIPs recently?

I reread Otto Rank's The Doppelganger recently, in addition to checking out the earlier issues of The International Journal of Psychoanalysis and the translates meeting notes from the Wednesday Psychological Society. I suppose this is research more than it's inspiration. But it's all really fascinating to see these early European theories about psychology, regardless of how accurate they actually are. I'm using all this information for my Albedorian twincest doppelganger erotic thriller period drama fic, which seems to gain new adjectives every time I introduce it.

Also, I listened to mostly Brian Eno while writing this last fic, the Freminet/Lyney one. And after rewatching Mandy (2018) and relistening to its fantastic soundtrack by the late Johann Jóhannsson, I was reminded of how excited I am to work on the gore horror Chiluc fic.
