I’d love to hear about people’s hyperfixations here.
I got back into Gunpla after a little while. I built a few kits from The Witch From Mercury, now I’m fully invested in GQuuuuuuX. I’ve increased my backlog of kits by a bit. Working on the MGSD Strike Freedom now, MG Sazabi Ver Ka is next.
And new new Beyblade X products from Takara Tomy just shipped.
God, my hobby is collecting more hobbies, and I’m so frustrated with myself for it.
Cool! I know nothing about these kits but building them sounds rewarding. How long do you spend on a kit, normally?
I got really into the Titanic when the submersible was in the news. My favourite facts were:
-
A big issue was that staff were used to putting lifeboats in the sea and people in the boats. These you put people in the lifeboats, then dropped the lifeboats 70 feet in the pitch black into water so cold you’d die in minutes. This slowed things down a lot, not all boats were used and the final one went out upside down.
-
The survivors were all put through a testimony days after going through this horrendously traumatic event. Not only is that traumatic and awful, but its horribly damaging to their memory and testimony.
-
Many survivors said how horrible it was seeing the greenish water gradually creeping up the deck. It was this sense of impending doom, and a really profound memory for them.
I have more but those were my favourites

What are yours?
Did I ever tell you the story of the War in Heavens? So there are these cancer patients and they are really angry about those wizard toads…
And then the sun got eaten…
