i unconsciously changed the way i pop my fingers bc of characters in tokyo ghoul

I had a phobia of centipedes for awhile thanks to Tokyo Ghoul.
I think my bias towards curly blonde hair comes from my childhood crush on Septimus Heap.
But like, pretty much my entire worldview arose from the books I read as a child, starting around age seven. I would have turned out very different if it weren’t for that Warriors manga I picked up at the book fair.

i haven't played fallout 4 at all recently, but i started saying "outstanding" to make fun of paladin danse, and now i just... say it whenever, usually sarcastically

[quote name="Svecounia72" date="2020-08-01 10:06:05" ] I've been playing Pokemon since I was a tiny kid, so the type advantages have been seared into my brain. [/quote] This! Pokemon's typing system makes so much sense to me, why don't all elemental-based games follow the same logic? I got into the Magnus Archives a few months ago, and now I tend to associate everyday things with the 14 fear entities. Can't find something that I swear I just saw a second ago? Must be the Spiral messing with me. I saw a video of an apartment way up in a high-rise during a thunderstorm, and my first thought was that a Vast avatar would definitely live there. The pandemic is definitely the work of the Corruption, or maybe some Corruption avatar trying to complete a ritual. (Maybe that's a bit insensitive, but I guess I'm using humor and fandoms as a way to cope with everything going on rn lol)

while not directly related to a fandom, a danganronpa-related video has gotten me saying "fantastic" for nearly a year now.

i tend to imitate character poses/actions, ESPECIALLY those of ace attorney characters, without really thinking about it now. most notably: putting my hand on my chin, and running my pointer finger across my jaw when thinking, slamming my hand or fist on the nearest surface when making a point, and/or automatically correcting "hold on" to "hold it!"
can you tell what i've been playing recently?

EDIT: I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES?
-i sometimes go to "lean on" a sheathed sword at my hip when i'm just standing idle... despite not owning a sword so i just look stupid for a few seconds before i correct it. like this
-the number 9 makes me go feral
-shouting "where is your proof/evidence?!" when in a heated argument

I am not proud of it but I picked up DIO's laughter.

-After playing Xenoblade I starting using "I'm really feeling it!" ironically and now I can't stop. I also say "YER DUN" and "THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME?" when fighting enemies, no matter the game. "Don't get cocky you little sh-t!" gets peppered in there too.

-Thanks to Fire Emblem I'll sometimes say "Gods!" instead of "oh my god!"

-I can't hear the word "bass" (the fish) without instinctively thinking of an Animal Crossing pun.

-Sometimes I'll see weird rock formations or a tree all by it's lonesome and I'll think ooh, I bet there's a Korok there.

-I quote The Office (US) all. the. time. I can make an office reference on just about any topic, it feels.

[s]I swear I’m gonna call someone a “cool dude” one day...[/s] I also have the type matchup stuff deeply embedded in my mind, and I also get weirded out when the matchups are different for a different franchise, such as electricity being weak to water in Kirby Star Allies.

I’m in love with Herobrine

I think I have more of these than I'm letting on but they're not immediately coming to mind so...

- Firefly is definitely the reason I enjoy swearing in other languages so much (I still can't swear in Chinese but ssshhhh)
- As an enormous Legend of Spyro fan, I watched the LoS DotD parody online more than once, and I still quote it all. The. Time.
- I'm sure Mass Effect is responsible for more than just these, but I sign off emails with "Keelah Se'lai" a lot, and I always tell people that when flying cars exist I want them to look like oversized mittens
