My favourite thing right now is Ciaphas Cain. I started listening to the books on audible a few months ago and I absolutely love how witty they are. Jurgen is my favourite character. The loyalty and friendship these men show to eachother makes my heart light and Cains frustration that history repeatedly leaves out Jurgens contributions is my favourite example of how Cain isn't the self-serving person he insists he is (even to himself)

If you want to just talk about something that makes you happy but no one wants to listen to then this thread is for you. I will read them all. (I may not reply to them all depending on if I have something to say/ask) but I am Listening!

my absolute favorite thing is the Touhou Project game series, and my favorite part is probably the world/worldbuilding of Gensokyo. If 'world' includes characters then yeah that's my favorite part.

My favorite thing is divination with cards

Why? Because I feel that whenever I'm coherent enough to actually read them properly, they're pretty useful tools for sharpening my intuition by focusing on archetypes that can apply to every aspect of human life . Plus there's a deep history with all cards from poker cards to tarot cards that makes them fascinating.

My other fav thing is The Golden Girls. I love it because those four women were like the grandmothers I wish I had and because they made being a senior citizen look cool. Also the show was very progressive for the 80's but never in a forceful way like shows are today. They mixed a perfect blend of humor and compassion with serious topics like Homosexuality, Women's Rights, Age Descrimination, Racism, Homelessness, AIDS, etc. I really can't think of many subjects they didn't cover.
