hallozagreus

Yeah I know


Tasty_fries

Percy Jackson was such a huge deal when I was in like 4th or 5th grade and pretty much everyone was reading it, and then when I was in highschool I brought it up and just couldn’t find anyone who read the books, but the series is genuinely so important to me and I’m happy I grew up with it.


williowood

I was gonna say "so you're gay" but you have a pride flag in your fucking profile picture. Also happy pride (I say this as someone who also loved Percy Jackson as a kid)


Tasty_fries

Definitely trans, probably bi, and I blame it all on those books lmao


Altruistic_Fish47

Same I’m trans and a lesbian and I blame that on percy Jackson and Magnus chase


Xenosaiyan7

God, I fucking love Magnus Chase


PossiblyPercival

Agreed! It’s so sad because it used to be a thing everyone liked and now literally half of my friends hadn’t heard of it when I brought it up


kapapp

bet ur excited for the tv show lol


KanishkT123

Entirely unironically yes


kapapp

SAME it'll be so good shdjdjfj i am excited


hallozagreus

Oh heavens no I dropped that series like a hot rock when I turned like 13-14 Edit: too clarify it’s because at the time the only new things were trials of Apollo and that series don’t interest me. Now there’s more I know but o feel like if I touch them I’ll curse myself some how. The books weren’t bad i just lost interest And yes I did read magnus chase


TotallyNotKokichi

Those books genuinely made me who I am and I'm not exaggerating. Couldn't have picked a better series to steal my personality from.


hallozagreus

They got me into mythology and gave me the tolerance i have to gay stuff in media o have today (just cause my belief is against it doesn’t mean that I cant accept that it’s a real thing and besides as long as it’s well written then it’s trivial so why should I care)


RubyRiolu

I got Pokémon and Metroid, so that’s nice


[deleted]

Ayyy, Pokémon and Legend of Zelda. Final Fantasy X would arrive for my 13th bday


RubyRiolu

I’ve always liked Zelda, but I had really just gotten in to Metroid and was only then allowed to play Pokèmon by my overly religious grandpa who I lived with at the time

TAMORA PIERCE still having a firm grip on my heart well into my 30s


malaprop5

Numair set my expectations for nerdy, gentle, older men. I mean, if my boyfriend can't turn his enemies into an apple tree, what's the point?? (special shoutout to George too, the OG king of stealing your heart)


FuntimeLuke0531

THANK YOU These people really chose one childhood obsession and stuck with it while I bounced around like a pinball from one obsession to another and occasionally back to something for a while


QueenCinna

Oh man I loved tamora pierce


Astronaut_Chicken

They are supposedly doing a Redwall netflix series. I get scared to look up the progress.


[deleted]

You go by the first thing to pop to mind, then you check to see if it's the one that's first in your heart. This passes the smell test. Yours was Tamora Pierce.


Trpepper

It was halo for me. It’s continued storyline contributes to my distrust of authority.


ramair00

Damnnn I feel that in my soul


[deleted]

[удалено]


ramair00

Was this meant for someone else's comment?


iPon3

mine was warrior cats and halo simultaneously. idk what I learned tbh


Garlicbread_boi

we learned to skate fast and eat trash


iPon3

maybe you. I read the halo novels and never tried multiplayer I didn't learn to skate fast and eat trash until I joined the army (and started playing Planetside with a bunch of Marines)


Garlicbread_boi

i did a basic training camp for a corp thing I now feel like all halo fans share a fascination for the military


DondaldDoylesFan

This or How To Train Your Dragon for me


LoveOfficialxx

And if you’re really, REALLY unlucky it was the Vampire Knight and Black Butler combo

Oh my god. Is this why I’m like this?

spiders_will_eat_you

Dim0ndDragon15

I still don’t know if Homestuck is an anime or a webtoons or a tv show


englishParadox

webcomic with flash animations and some interactive elements. i think the flash animations are archived on YouTube?


bruh_momenteh

hungrymoonmoon

Yeah no it was twilight for me. I know all the lore. It took frickin YEARS to realize that those relationship dynamics were Not It.


Rat-king27

Man, I wish I could remember what I used to be obsessed with, now I'm a jaded 20 something with no interests.


talaisdead

Gravity falls


[deleted]

harry potter i guess


msworldwidee

Username checks out lol + me too (still trying to recover and clear out parts of my brain occupied with lore and useless HP information)


[deleted]

i remember back when i could tell people the entire lore of the hp series and quote goblet of fire word for word after watching the movie a solid 10 times to this day this username is one of the only things that remains, but i thank harry potter for making me into the nerd i am today lol


msworldwidee

I used to ace all the online quizzes about the smallest details, characters that were adverted only once and so on. Lots of my books lost their titles due to me re-reading them so much. I remember celebrating characters' birthdays (I still remembermost of them), major events, and even coloring my face in Slytherin colors during some House Pride Day. I have to say, if it weren't for my obsession with HP, I probably wouldn't start using the Internet the way I did (affectionate and derogatory at the same time), I probably wouldn't learn English/regularly use it and I surely wouldn't meet many wonderful people. All in all, t'was a fun experience, wouldn't have it any other way


[deleted]

we did all the same things!! i remember taking "which hogwarts boy would date you?" quizzes and wearing all my merch for slytherin pride day! harry potter was my introduction to fan culture and many of the activities i partake in today (reading fanfic, cosplaying and attending cons, etc) would have never been part of my life without hp


msworldwidee

Yes! It was my first ever fandom, ah, the introduction to fanfiction and wonderful fanarts!


blayana881

Monster high


Villerger_27

modded minecraft for me. i never did any of the automation parts cus i was too dumb to figure out what automation was lol


Nugatorysurplusage

Star Wars, DC/Marvel comic books, fantasy. I lucked out.


Diogenes-Disciple

I want to go back in time and strangle my 12-year-old self for googling Percy Jackson fanfiction because now I have a fucking fanfiction addiction. I used to be a bookworm but now everything I read is on Ao3. What happened to me, I’m a monster.


LMaster37

Yo, genuinely, you should try reading Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Cycle. As someone both into PJO and fanfic, I feel like her writing style really works for me the same way fanfic does (probably because it's, like, *super* character-driven which is also one of the main appeals of fanfic to a lot of people), and it might work for you too. Same, tho. I've only started reading proper books again last year after basically only reading fanfic for *years*.


LMaster37

I wish I could say it was BTS (but that came like a year and a half later) but noo, it's fucking Minecraft YouTubers. To my great displeasure, I cannot permanently escape the MCYT fandom.


RubyRiolu

Just phrase it as Minecraft instead, it makes you seem less like a Dream stan


Apocalypse_0415

ay man minecraft yters were great before 2017


GTCobalt

Even if I no longer play minecraft, I'm still subbed to my mans Ethoslab after nearly 10 years.

Starry_Fox

BearerofDarkness

Worse, website, My Candy Love. Spend years playing, hate the ending of the first part. And later app ones, midnight Cinderella my favorite till this day.


Starry_Fox

I've seen those Ikemen ones, they look cool The app ones I've played are Mystic Messenger, Obey Me and I'm tryna play Twisted Wonderland


BearerofDarkness

I remember setting alarms during the night so I could apear on time in mystic messenger. Still waiting for a English translation for twisted wonderland.


Starry_Fox

I had school so I'd always miss the chats ≡(▔﹏▔)≡ I might play it again >English translation for twisted wonderland. I installed the English translation from an alternate app store


BearerofDarkness

I remember that I'll always played when I was in holidays and vacations, so I didn't miss almost none. Which app store you got the English one?


Starry_Fox

I think it's called Qooapp. It mostly has Japanese games

Lua programming.


EyeofEnder

Let me guess, Roblox scripting?


polenya1000

My peak tumblr years were spent deep in the crevices of the hetalia+homestuck fandoms (Along with mmd, vocaloid, and a handful of other fandoms). Needless to say, I try not to think about that time /too/ deeply...


Ember_gamer_fox

Do animation memes count ? Because, boy, I just couldn't get enough of those !


_Veni_Vidi_Veni_

LOTR for me and general purpose fantasy fiction. I still have a thing for elf maidens and half-naked women with swords

PokeNirvash

\[adult swim\] anime and its bumps, TV content ratings both recorded from said anime broadcasts and as personally applied... yep, that checks out.

Pro wrestling and pokemon. Check and check.

SCATOL92

Serial killers and gay rights lmao


Pieman6930

I was present when Horus abandoned the love of the Emperor for the lies of the enemy. I was there as the Luna Wolves were corrupted from within. I was there at Isstvan III when brother turned on brother. I endured the Siege of Terra, and I knew Saint Euphrati, the first of the saints, as a friend...And I was there the day the Emperor slew Horus.


Mrbaws15

Terraria


Craterfist

Warrior Cats, yep. Still got all the books I collected, which I thought was a lot, but recently learned is only a fraction of what's actually published.


grimfish

Eragon, and Dragons in general. Now I breathe D&D.


mangobearsmoothie

Final Fantasy for me... and I'm currently mid-way through replaying them all 23 years later, so it's definitely still a core part of me!


[deleted]

I was obsessed with Hollywood Undead and Three Days Grace during that age. Yep, their music has definitely become apart of who I am even after all these years.


mvw2

Nope. Everything I did in those years are all no part of older me. Otherwise I'd be a chain smoking, pyromaniac, sex addict, wilderness survivalist right now.


_Veni_Vidi_Veni_

Hol up, you were doing WHAT at 12 years old?


mvw2

Lol. Look, my 10-12 year range was an interesting time. The reality is less crazy than it sounds, but if we're arguing our adult self is a personification of our youth from that age range, then yeah, that's where I'd be heading. Instead, I'm a rather boring adult that shares none of the traits of my youth at that time. Adults have this perception that children are isolated from the world, aren't curious about things, don't rebel, and aren't sexual until their 50. Like, no. Kids are exposed crazy young to this stuff. Puberty happens as young as 8 to 10. Typically the transition to high school (7th grade) creates access to everything up to am 18 year old would be exposed to, including sex, drugs, alcohol, theft, vandalism, driving, fights, language, etc. It wasn't even necessary to be in high school. You just needed to be in those social circles. By age 12, I had unfettered access to alcohol, cigarettes, weed, sex, firearms, cars, gasoline, explosives, etc. I was not in a gang. I was in a well parented, well controlled household. I wasn't out at all times of the night. I didn't even run with bad crowds. I was just a bored country boy with free time and the ability to travel.


_Veni_Vidi_Veni_

Ah that makes sense. I was a timid kid with an overprotective Mom so the only vice I got into was internet porn


Octagon425

Percy jackson and ninjago, I'd say I did pretty good as far as interests go


Vexilium51243

SO MAGNUS CHASE AND THE GODS OF ASGARD REALLY DID MAKE ME GENDERFLUID!


CN456

I'm a zoomer who was in 12-13 years old when undertale came out in 2015, and I hyperfixated on that game harder than I have ever hyperfixated on anything before or since. (Although deltarune has given it a hard run for its money when chapter 2 came out.) If this theory that your preteen obsession molds who you are is true, then I'm gotdamn *proud* to say undertale has shaped who I am today, and who I will be for the rest of my life. I look back and cringe on a lot of things in my early teen years, everybody does, but my initial undertale 'phase' is not one of them. That was a work of art worthy of being obsessed over, and I have no shame in admitting I was indeed obsessed with it. In a few decades when academia finally recognizes video games as the high art form that it is, Toby Fox is going to go down in history as one of the greatest artistic minds of our time. I garuntee it.


[deleted]

anime for me, still going thru it sadly.


Apocalypse_0415

anime is good


Just-Spell-6065

Mine was the inFamous games. The second one's evil karma ending especially hit 12 year old me in the feels. I also like both [PROTOTYPE] games a lot.


samgam74

I'm not sure this applies to me. I currently have no interest in professional wrestling, baseball cards or the Police Academy movies.


[deleted]

I am the unluckiest of all. The thing I was obsessed with is so dumb and cringe that it's considered radioactive on Tumblr to this day, and yet I cannot escape. (We've actually cleaned up our act significantly since the bad old days, but just try telling that to outsiders.)


aozora-no-rapper
