Got a special interest you want to talk about but don’t think it needs a whole post? Put it here!
I’ll start by posting my current special interest. It’s a person, sort of, which I’ve only had happen a handful of times. Are special interests that are people not the strangest feeling?
Anyway, it’s Viidith22 on YouTube. Horror story narrations. I have loved horror stories since I was a kid and somehow missed the creepypasta phase when it started because I was mostly in true crime communities instead. I went through a lot of narrators and found I was kind of picky. He did a collaboration with another YouTuber who does true stories as well and that’s how I found him.
His voice is unique, in a good way. It’s just right so I can enjoy the story without being pulled out of it by quirks of the narrator, which can be nice in some instances but not all. He has short videos as well as longer ones.
Some of his series are On the Trail of the Vampyre, The Devil’s Due, and The Threshold of Evil.
My favorite story is The Cabin of the Harvest Moon.
Also, he has bloopers videos, and he does gaming nights with chats so you get to see his personality bloom. He’s smart and funny! He has a Patreon as well, which is where that actually talking to the person problem lies. I subscribe to his patreon, and you can talk to the creator that way. I’m sure I annoy the heck out of him, but he’s very nice to me. I told him about the fediverse because who knows what people know.
He said I could talk about him, as I asked if it was okay for me to post about him places, and he said I could. So this is what you get lol
Please check him out if you have time. Most of the narrators I listen to have over 200k to 1.5 million subscribers. He is growing, and has 75k subscribers. Over 700 videos. He is so good!
Thanks for reading!
I love horror stories, and I will definitely be checking him out, thank you for sharing. I’m actually home alone for the week, and I’m debating whether it’s a great or terrible idea to wait until it’s dark and listen to your fave story. We’ll see which wolf wins.
Knitting has been a special interest for years. I tend to find a specific thing, and make lots of them, before moving on to the next thing. The last one was hats. All different kinds, different types of knitting, and fancy patterns after I started learning fair isle. Now, it’s socks. I’d never knit a sock before until the one I finished yesterday, but there will soon be so very many socks. I don’t even like wearing knitted socks because I hate the texture under my feet. Strange thing for me to fixate on!
My special interest at the moment is racing. As a family, my brother dad and I built a racecar with a lot of help from other family and friends. It’s so much fun. We come from a long line of racers.
My mini special interest has been making a photo wall in the car hauler of all the old legacy pics of my grandparents and my uncle’s and stuff.
My wife discovered that reading was her special interest after I pointed out that reading 600 books in a year wasn’t normal.
That’s my parters special interest too! They mentioned a few times that they weren’t the type of autistic that had a special interest and/or was good at any one thing. And I was like, you really dont know do you? I’ve heard them giggle about people ‘bragging’ they had read 65-100 novels that year. Which to the average person I agree is a ton, but I am sure 600 isn’t even an exaggeration about your wife because I wouldn’t put it past my partner for doing so!
Animals and art! Occasionally I get super hyper focused on one kind of creature or technique, but my fav changes constantly. Except for my cats, they are top bois 100% of the time
