Hey Pandas Do You Have An Odd Or Unexplainable Fascination For Specific Things?
Do you have a weird fascination for a specific thing and you don't know exactly why? (Pens, small tools, etc.) And as a result, you have a lot of them!
This post may include affiliate links.
I'm asking you yours.....might as well tell you mine! I have 3...
Zip ties (all sizes)!
Safety pins!
Itty bitty tools! (Tiny tools that are actually useable)
I don't know why but I love them. (I literally keep a package of small zip ties in my purse. And you wouldn't believe how many times they've came in handy!)
Crows! I love crows. I birdwatch but only crows. Crows rule
As a child ( until i was 14) i was obsessed with business cards.i would always take one whenever i saw them. I still do when they're pretty or i like the design. I have a whole box of them in my room.
I absolutely adore fancy pens too. I have about 30 of them right now, some with plushies on top, other food shaped, or with some sort of figurine. I also have 300+ metallic or glitter gel pens.
I wish I could have those pens but they mostly come in blue ink and my school requires black ink :(
Fossils, dead things, and carnivorous plants
An odd combination but all seemingly related
True crime. Anything related to true crime including movies, series, podcasts and books.
Somehow they are more terrifying than horror movies.
I don't know if this really counts but I've always had an odd fascination for maritime disasters. Titanic, Edmund Fitgerald and other make-up the majority of my known facts
🎵Every night in my dreams I see you I feeeeeel you That is how I know you go on🎵
I have a bizarre obsession with any disturbing things that happened in history or disturbing facts, I’m very morbid, I even make morbid jokes about my own mortality, I think I am going to die soon, maybe I will cause my own death, my fascination with morbid things makes me a weirdo, but I’m fine with it. Perhaps I will cause my death, but how? Maybe I should just hang myself?
I have no idea why I love reading about gruesome topics. Human sacrifices, plague pandemics, torture/execution techniques etc... it definitely makes random trivia exchanges with other people interesting. There's this kind of strange horror associated with this stuff... you get stuck in this weird paralysis where you want to close the book/tab but you also want to know more.
i absolutely love guitar picks. i've collected about 40 of them so far and hope to have a whole jar of them. i don't use them to play guitar lol i just like them.
My odd fascination is with death, it doesn’t make me sad, it makes me curious, and it’s one thing that is very much a mystery of our existence.
Jim Morrison was fascinated by death and madness - mostly death, and these themes are present in many Doors songs, and Jim’s spoken word poetry. Good dark stuff and great music, too
Right now I have fascination of overthinking because of which I have collection of anxiety 😔. Sorry for adding something sad to the list
Maybe try taking a break. Just for 5 minutes try meditating until you can only focus on what you’re meditating on. Maybe then you’ll feel a bit more calm for a while. It’s just a temporary solution that may help you when you need it. I believe in you, you’re doing just fine. I’m sure that by the end, you’ll as close as possible to the version you want yourself to be. Keep going, stay strong <3
Hmm... I go through phases. Lately it has been black and white photographs, waffles, and halloween (though I have always loved halloween).
Also, I find sleep paralysis extremely interesting. (I forgot to mention that)
I've always loved learning about the Titanic, I have no idea why it's always interested me, it just has.
One of my most favorite things is anything dragon related. I have multiple dragon figures, dragon dolls, dragon drawings, etc. I've always loved dragons, but my love for them became stronger when a friend of mine introduced me to Wings Of Fire a few years ago
Straight sticks!! The more like a wizard staff, the better. They’re so fun to pretend like they’re wands or swords or staves. I’m always on the lookout for a good stick.
I had a science fest at school the other week and we were given these pointers to point at diagrams and explain about them. I spent the entire time practising “wingardium leviosa” XD
In 2017,18 I grew some chillies. Then the pandemic hit in 2019 and I went out and collected pallets to build raised beds. 2022 I own an allotment and it’s now my hobby. I’m only 30, youngest person on the allotment
Absolutely love dogs and history. Combine them together too. I know a lot of dog history.
shiny things, colored lights and scented candles or something like that. I used to collect shiny stuff and some other random things and steal them sometimes when i was a kid. i kinda wanna do that again though
don't know why
It started out as my job in the Army, but I find chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons to be incredibly fascinating. It's just so cool how something so small can cause so much destruction...
I’m really fascinated with astronomy and my favourite topics of interest in astronomy are: blackholes, white dwarf+star binaries, neutron stars, exoplanets (my personal favourite one is J1407b), the heat death etc. It’s so interesting to learn more about them for me. Another thing I’m really fascinated with is sticker making. I’ve made several stickers of my OCs which my friends really love so on Monday, I’ll take some stickers and give out a few samples and maybe sell some of them too.
I wouldn’t say a fascination I’d say I buy them and idk why. FUNKO pops. I love to buy them and I still don’t kno why. I often ask myself that question and don’t have an answer lol. Like I buy comics to read them, games to play them, but FUNKO pops I just stare at em. But I still want to buy em lol.
Dictators, or authoritarian regimes in general. It's pretty weird, and I don't exactly know how to feel about it.
Sports and Music History. I love reading all the stories i can about musicians from the 1960’s and 70’s. I will start blogging about my faves in the near future.
Lately been reading up on 1950’s NFL teams, players, and coaches, including one old coach whose grandson was in The Grateful Dead
Superballs. The colorful bouncy kind that you get in coin op machines and they have a very unique smell (that I loooooove). I used to own thousands but I downsized to one small 25 cent machine where I display them in our home :)
My brother gets temporarily obsessed with random things:
-titanic
-anime
-world war ll
-fighter jets
-football
-basketball
-penguins
-sqishmallows
-marvel
-pokémon
-madden (video game)
Okay so this isnt a small thing but since all organisms share the same 20 amino acids and the same types of nitrogenous bases any organism can make and protein for example a plant could make a cow protein if it had the right genes. So scientists can transplant jellyfish genes into animals and they will glow. They have done it with pigs, kittens, monkeys, rats and as far as they can tell it has very little adverse effects. Oh and those GloFish u see at pet stores? Yup they have jellyfish bioluminescence genes in them. Its so cool! Science is fascinating. Also imagine going to a club and ur just glowing lol that would be sick.
Boxes and bags. IDK why. I’m also very fascinated by history, especially dark history.
Same with the boxes. They’re just so…nice. They hold stuff. I can’t explain it but you know what I mean 😂
Bill Cipher. I always wonder if he's real. And magic. Love love LOVE magic. Any kind.
My husband says I have an unhealthy obsession with man buns. :-D
Animal facts.
Idk, I just have a fascination with animals, especially those in the cat family.
Twins, I don't know why I find them so fascinating. Always wished I had one.
Anything soft or squishy, especially if it's cute. I've literally had to be dragged away from the Squishmallows by a friend because I really wanted one, but I needed the money I had a movie we were going to see.
anything tiny or mini. Like barbie accessories and things like that. They are so cute i love them so much!
