Late medieval period and the renaissance. General history of humanity, from stone age to modernity. Storytelling. Building lore-rich worlds. Digital drawing. Tabletop roleplaying games. Reading books of all genres. Romance and fairytale motives. Sexuality and eroticism. Taking in art in all of its forms.special place in my heart
Kingdom Come Deliverance I&II.- raw and authentic storytelling,
- award-worthy cinematic cutscenes,
- vast realistic lands to explore,
- unforgiving difficulty level,
- a beautifully told coming-of-age tale, dealing with themes of loss, vengeance, friendship and love.
Merlin.
- stellar first season, unintentionally very queer,
- a vibrant array of characters and their brilliant actors,
- yet another coming-of-age story, about fighting against a self-fulfilling prophecy and losing your innocence along the way,
- the relationship between Merlin and Arthur which makes me want to rip my hair out.
The Earthsea trilogy.
- decentered European middle ages from the fantasy genre,
- possibly invented the specialised schools of magic as we know them today,
- deals with the difficult theme of death and the fear of it with so much grace,
- not afraid of giving its main character flaws that make you hate him at times and make him feel so human.
Disco Elysium.
- absolutely unique atmosphere,
- clever sociopolitical commentary,
- makes you experience nostalgia for people who never existed and events that never took place,
- eccentric characters who feel almost tangible,
- elements of the paranormal which should feel out of place but don't.
