tumblr you have fucked it up again.

kills me a little bit that hyperfixation has become a primarily fandom term bc even though it is true that most of my hyperfixations historically have been entertainment medias. i worry that the new cultural context around the word would make me sound a little deranged if i regularly referred to my interest in cold war american history as a hyperfixation even though Thats What It Is. i feel like it could sound like im writing cold war rpf when in fact i take it very seriously and a lot of my interest is fueled by how much it continues to impact american foreign and domestic policy to this day, often in ways that go unacknowledged. but like medically speaking i do not control the speed or frequency at which i go on tangents about this in everyday conversations with my family

WHAT THE FUCK IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE WHY DID SOMEONE REBLOG THIS
