What's the one topic/ person/ era you've always been fascinated in?

For me it's Robert Kennedy/ The Cuban Missile Crisis. The 60s were just a fascinating time.

I have a thing for the early 60s myself -- that weird moment where fashion and culture and politics hadn't quite switched over to hippies and Vietnam yet. All came crashing down when JFK died.

For era, World War II. Have always been really interested in it. If I had to choose a person, Oskar Schindler.

The supernatural. Not just the monsters, themselves, but all of folklore and folk magic.

I've always had a thing for the French Revolution and I could ramble on about it for hours. I also find unfortunate queens, like Anne Boleyn and Marie Antoinette, extremely fascinating.

Uh like a million things. If I had to choose one, I guess revolutions - for whatever reason, I've just always been really interested in the process and the history of revolutions. I think it's that there's something dramatic about them, and they can represent such a rapid process of change.

I have a morbid fascination with Jack the Ripper.

A lot of different science topics, with anatomy and physiology being the most long-standing. My aunt read her anatomy books from nursing school with me when I was tiny. Then there's just biology in general. And space!

I also like unexplained mysteries/aliens/crypids/etc., even though I don't believe in them.

I've loved the early and mid 90s ever since it was the early and mid 90s.

The Cottingley Fairies. Two young girls messed with some cameras and paper dolls and convinced Arthur Conan Doyle that fairies existed. I'm still waiting for a quality movie on it.

I've always had a thing for Greek/Roman mythology, and I ended up getting really interested in Roman culture.

Film censorship in the 40s and 50s, specifically how drastically it changed between WWII and the early Cold War.

UFOs. Ghosts. Urban legends. Folklore. Magic & mythology. Religions.

I don't necessarily believe in any of that stuff, but I've always found the possibility of it to be really fascinating. As well as how urban legends & folktales are products of the people and cultures who tell them.
UFOs are especially interesting because they're a very American thing.

And because UFOs are so recent, you can see the birth of their mythology, and their growth and change as the myth comes into contact with different cultures. Fascinating stuff!

Ancient Egypt and Greece. The Victorian era. And the stories/mythologies/folklore in religions and different countries.

The Cuban Missile Crisis as well, an JFK's death.

Also, Caesar, the last days of the Roman Republic, the Second Triumvirate, Antony & Cleopatra, etc.

And recently, the War of the Roses and Richard III.

I'm going to be CHILEAN LEFTIST CLICHÉ as fuck, but the era of the Unidad Popular is fascinating to me. First democratically elected socialist president in the whole wide world? Amazing.

We could've had it aaaaaaall~ :'(

I was very much into Ancient Egypt when I was younger. Still find that whole civilzation fascinating, so I was so happy that I finally got to visit a few years ago!

The Titanic.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-03 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
It's always sort of fascinated me - one reason I really wanted to see Cameron's movie when it came out was because I heard that effects were amazing. But the whole story has always intrigued me - so many short-sighted decisions contributed to a such a huge loss of life.

Rabbits. Everything about them. At this point I know more about rabbits than many vets (which is not difficult, because rabbits are still thought of as "exotics" and most vets aren't properly trained to care for them).

Synaesthesia. It is just such an interesting phenomena! I wrote a research paper in college about it and had no idea what I was getting into...I read sooooo many papers about neurology that went waaay over my head. That feeling of "I know all of these words by themselves, but combined like this I have no idea what's going on..."

For era, definately the future, if that counts. There's so many ways that the world can change, for good or bad, and best part is that hopefully I'll get to see it. (Like robots. Goddamn am I waiting for my robots.)

For past eras, 1920s. Great design, great fashion, heaps of social change, bootlegging, emergence of new music styles, and just general awesomeness. It doesn't help that there's a lot of great works set in this era too.

I was a Tier 1 Weeaboo for the longest time, so I know an embarrassing amount about Japanese history and have always been fascinated with it. Not, however, the Middle Ages/Samurai era with katanas and ninjas and whatnot, nor the War Era, but the Heian period of nobility before that, and the Meiji/Taisho period after that. I find those much more interesting.

Nuclear stuff and the Cold War. Aspects I've been randomly fascinated by are the nuclear tests, particularly the Nevada ones (the ones in Australia mostly just make me furious for how they DIDN'T TELL some of the Aboriginal groups in the area that they were using nukes, what the fuck), Cold War propaganda of the 50s (Duck and Cover!), all the stuff around 1983 (like Able Archer and the Petrov incident), Protect & Survive, which is absolutely chilling, Chernobyl and the current state of the area, especially Pripyat, and, more recently, Fukushima. And Children of the Dust is one of my favourite books. (Also read When The Wind Blows, but I find it absolutely heartbreaking.) Also, radioactive minerals! My grandmother has some torbernite. I kinda want to take a geiger counter to it.

It's extremely morbid and I absolutely do not support the use of nuclear weapons, and am severely iffy even on nuclear power plants (even barring accidents like Fukushima, uranium mining and nuclear waste disposal is a huuuge problem), but for some reason I find it fascinating? It might be the combination of physics and dystopic/apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic themes...
