I’m very much interested in the history and culture that surrounds ‘madness,’ I think how society has consistently treated mentally ill folk (especially afab people) is strange.
My 5 vanilla topics I could go on about are:
1. Books: I adore literature.
2. Death & disease: I think death and disease are both extremely interesting topics.
3. Music: I adore every genre.
4. Art: Modernist art >>
5. History: I love discussing historical periods.
My 5 vanilla topics I could go on about are:
1. Plants, trees, moss, fungi🍄
2. DIY projects I never finish 🔨
3. Death - I want to work in funeral care one day ⚰️
4. Animal anatomy & phycology - My favourite subject is horses 🐴
5. Politics - No tories! No Terfs! No swerfs!
I love researching the different archetypes and tropes that surround mad women within literature, ‘the mad woman in the attic,’ or ‘the tragic mulatto’ or ‘the bed bound woman that was prescribed a rest cure,’ I think the concept itself is fascinating
Especially when it comes to afab / amab writers; the way afab writers address madness it’s internal, very personal but I’ve noticed (at least in the literature I read) a lot of amab writers romanticise madness (just how Andre Breton does in Nadja) a beautiful type of suffering
Why are clients so surprised when you say you play video games??? Babes, my mother taught me how to play Streets of Rage on Sega Megadrive when I was 3 years old.

I think female hysteria is such an interesting concept in the history of medicine and literature ! I will say unstable femmes written by femmes is my favourite genre bc I relate <3

There’s definitely a lot of romanticism within melancholy but in terms of romance I’d say the relationship between Septimus and Rezia in Mrs Dalloway but it ends so tragically💔
I also just love researching madness in the field of medicine, how it’s been dealt with from the prehistoric age all the way up to the 21st century. Medical humanities is very important imo :)
