I really don't know what to say about myself so I made a box with basic information, but I'll try to talk about my interests below.
Let's say my biggest goal is to direct a movie someday and all my efforts in life revolve around this ultimate desire. Like, I can pretty much die in peace after making one lol. Movies have always been my biggest super interest in life, and even though I don't watch much of it very often these days, I'm still deeply drawn to them.
Philosophy (in its entirety, not just Western philosophy) is something that quite guides my life, it gives a little spice, but as I'm striving to improve in the exact sciences (not all of them to be honest, my desire is to understand math better and deeply), I'm going for a Kierkegaardian approach in life and letting all other philosophers rest in peace for now. But in the future I will definitely come back to annoy my dear Wittgenstein. The interest in mathematics is due to the fact that I intend to study computer engineering. Computers are my biggest interest these days and I'm more attracted to the hardware part than the software one, but I still love both. I'm very stubborn with the things I want (for better or for worse lol), so I know I'll make it no matter how long it takes. Another thing that attracts me is studying languages, at the moment I'm learning Mandarin practically at baby steps, but it's really fun because I adore this language. Italian could be the next on the list, but I'm still not sure because I also keep latin, german, japanese, greek, arabic and russian very close to my heart.
As for some media I consume, I think it's better to separate them into topics, so here we go:
•Video games: I'm not very good at them, like, the atmosphere of Bloodborne and Dark Souls and everything is something that attracts me tremendously, but damn if I'm not bad at them lol I think I could play Elden Ring, but just using stealth all the time lmao. Thank God at least I managed to play the Yakuza series decently (despite being terrible at karaoke and dancing), I'm still at the beginning, but what can I say, I don't think there is a character I can relate to more than Majima in Yakuza 0 and the amount of love I have for him can only be compared to my feelings for Vampire Hunter D, Columbo, and tachikomas. In my pre-teens I was a big Age of Empires player and I want to play again in the future, I also liked AQW lmao it was really fun, I think I had two accounts, always playing on the side of evil and being rogue. Hylics is my favorite game, I wish I could live in that oniric world;
•Music: I know it's cliche for someone to say they're addicted to it, but it really is the case with me and synesthesia makes me have some pretty dope experiences. I would say there are two albums that marked phases of my life and they were The Wall by Pink Floyd and Freak Show by Silverchair, I feel Madonna's Ray of Light is being the third, I never imagined she would touch my soul the way she did when I heard this one. Aesthetically I would say I Monster's Neveroddoreven reflects a lot of who I am as well as my current favorite band Versailles. Plus I like to explore and listen to new things regardless of the music genre, which helps keep the feeling fresh and I love getting recommendations too.
•Readings: I think I don't need to talk about mangas (or animes) I consume because the link to MAL is on the side. I haven't read comics in a while, but I like to think of myself as the #1 Wonder Woman fan and a huge Batman fan (Bane is Batman's biggest villain because of his origins, he should have died and never appeared in the comics again after such a good creation, I rest my case). I also really enjoyed Deadpool in my pre-teens. As for books, I love reading the classics and I love gothic and vampire literature. I believe more in quality than quantity, so I go slow with my readings (I'm currently doing this with The Count of Monte Cristo), for me it's much more important to absorb everything I can from what I'm reading than to read 10 books in a month, but after all, this motto is not restricted to books;
•Movies and series: well, I could say nothing about cinema since the letterboxd link is also here, but I'm a big fan of action movies and when done well they are the most beautiful thing in the world, nothing hits better than the dialectic of combat. I just love watching films from all over the world and feeling the variation in time treatment from culture to culture and language to language, I am very interested in the time textures of Indian cinema and one day I can talk about it when I have more knowledge. And yes, hollywood sucks, they don't care at all about movies nor their history and preservation, excluding dear Scorsese of course. As for series, it's very difficult for me to see anything these days, I need something that really attracts me to it, I'm watching Columbo very slowly now and that's it. But I already saw many series years ago. My favorite ones are Penny Dreadful (I ignore the third season), Hannibal and Mad Men. And I still want to watch The Sopranos, The Leftovers and Breaking Bad as well as finish The Wire and Mr Robot.
To finish, I'll be a little more personal: More and more I try to take life at my own pace (which in no way means that I'm lazy), so more and more I also stay apart of what other people consider success in life and other discussions of this kind. Naturally sometimes it affects me as all these values are exposed throughout the core web, but I make an effort not to let myself sink in these perceptions as it not the way I want to lead my life. Basically I'm trying to live in a 'Sky Fits Heaven' way. I was never very good socially either in real life or on the internet. I'm much better now having been beaten a lot and learning from my mistakes and embarrassments, but I still feel awkward most of the time out of my comfort zone and I really don't know how most people manage to socialize. I always keep my stuff a little or a lot private, but I know it won't last forever, as the doctor says in Persona: "Reality is bloody-minded. Your hiding place is not watertight. Life seeps into everything." So this site is a way to break my shell too.
