That Which Vexes Me

Despite my Marvel hyperfixation, I was able to completely ignore spoilers for Thunderbolts because I scrolled past them to look at the attached pictures of this actor.
Who is Sebastian Stan?
200
In 2023, this character, who I diagnosed with autism before I was diagnosed later that year, got her beginning after I watched a particularly in-spider-ing movie.
Who is Kira Cadence/Sunset Spider?
200
My favorite role in any show was no doubt this morally gray plastic surgeon with an... okay German accent.
Who is Dr. Hermina Einstein?
200
This favorite animal of mine is one I think we should treat more nicely than we do-- after all, one famous one even lost its leg defending our country!
What is a pigeon/dove?
200
My most obvious pet peeve is when people call me this instead of my full name, and then neither apologize nor correct themselves.
What is "Willow"?
400
Differing greatly from my usual hyperfixations, this first-person shooter developed by Valve has captured my attention since last October.
What is Team Fortress 2?
400
This one's fairly recent: I found this Marvel character so utterly charming that, for the first time in years, I made a character for the sole purpose of shipping with him.
Who is Nightcrawler?

This musical number containing my first solo also marks the second time I've died offstage in a CPA production.

I can't stand when people discriminate against this dog breed-- if anything, I'd say the rapper is scarier.
What is a Pit Bull?
600
This armored Kirby character, a favorite of mine and the best in the series, was also the most overpowered and broken character in a Super Smash Bros. game I have not played.
Who is Meta Knight?
600
In middle school, this character split off from her fanfiction roots and became my entirely original protagonist at the cost of being rude, confrontational, and unlikable for three years.
Who is Korrinia?
600
This authentic Japanese restaraunt is one I have tried and failed to take everyone to multiple times.
What is Sakura?
600
This recently released film, featuring the power of friendship in the unforgiving void of space, has the honor of being my favorite movie ever.
What is Project Hail Mary?
600
This musical genre used to be pretty good, but now, infuriatingly, it all sounds samey and generic. I even have a playlist which compiles "bearable" songs of this genre.
What is pop?
800
This fantasy book series, which I grew up on, has the honor of being my very first hyperfixation.
What is Harry Potter?
800
The 2019 fanfiction When Realms Collide, which contained hundreds of characters from across the gaming multiverse, was inspired by this crossover title, which released the previous year.

You may not have been there, but you had to have heard about it last summer when my dad fell through the ceiling chasing this animal.
What is a raccoon?
800
Multiple times, I have stated that I would date this hyper-specific color if it was a person.
What is Phthalo Green?
800
I don't usually get mad over standard pop culture fare, but I couldn't help but seethe at this actor's remark that "no one cares about [ballet or opera] anymore."
Who is Timothée Chalamet?
1000
This comedic anime is one I've loved since I knew what anime was thanks to its light tone and SUPER autistic-coded main character-- so much so that it's the only anime I've granted an entire Pinterest board.
What is The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.?
1000
In seventh grade, I got a two-page spread in the yearbook for writing a fanfiction about this video game series--despite the fact that the titular character was notably absent.
What is Sonic the Hedgehog?
1000
I recieved an Artsy award for using this art form to avoid breaking my bones when a ramp slipped out from under me on the stairs.
What is stage combat?
1000
This four-member Irish musical group is a favorite of mine that I recommend to anyone and everyone.
Who is Celtic Woman?
1000
This "mature" animated series has the humor of a middle schooler trying to be edgy, and it annoys me to no end that people still call it "indie" despite it being picked up by Amazon.
What is Hazbin Hotel?
