#I didn't mention anything regarding 'art' like painting or sculpting...that's because I don't have any preference

also baby sam what are your fav things <3 books, songs, arts, persons etc♡
Here are my favourite things:
-tea
-my cat
-myself
Alright. The thing is: I don't want to have 'favourite things'. So I prefer to give you a long list of random stuff that I enjoy without letting you know if I have any real favourite among them :) Yes, I'm boring
books
(Even if this list is essentially novels or essays, I read anything that falls between my hands. Sometimes it'll be novels, other times essays, mangas, history books, dictionaries, poetry, plays. I don't care.)
My answers may be disappointing, or you might consider me as a basic bitch but meh🤷🏻‍♀️
Circe, Madeline Miller
The Acotar series, Sarah J. Maas (yes, I'm a basic bitch. I discovered it 5 years ago and I still like a lot)
The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, V. E Schwab
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins Reid
Sorcières, La puissance invaincue des femmes, Mona Chollet (a feminist and essayist. Her book has been translated in English as In Defence of Witches: Why women are still on trial. Please, read it. Read her work.)
Ce que le Jour doit à la Nuit, Yasmina Khadra
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
I'm down for any Albert Camus books
I'm currently discovering Françoise d'Eaubonne and Mieko Kawakami's work and I enjoy it for now
Kuroshitsuji (I read and analysed the manga more than I studied for my high school diploma)
I want to read House of Leaves and Piranesi. Someday I will. I promise.
music
I'm always up to discover new stuff. So here goes a small list of random people/groups I listen to regularly.
Florence + The Machine, FKA twigs, The Amazing Devil, AURORA, Wardruna, Kalandra, Faun, Tamino, Evanescence, System of a Down, polnalyubvi, Hozier, Eluveitie, Marina, Melanie Martinez, Gojira, bôa, Maneskin... I'm a hoe for old darkwave metal band like Diary of Dreams or for pagan folk/metal bands. My soul leaves my body whenever I listen to dark, gothic, sad, passionate pagan songs
films/series/anime
I would love to tell you that I'm knowledgeable on cinema but I'm not. I'm shit and rewatch the same stuff all the time.
Mahoutsukai no Yome (one of my confort anime)
Hellsing (Ultimate) (never had the occasion to read the manga)
American Horror Story
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones (just started House of Dragons)
I don't have a favourite film. I just accumulate touching memories from what the cinema gives me: Good Will Hunting, Hana and Alice, Goliath, Baby Driver, Ookami Kodomo, Black Swan, Mariage Story, Talented Mr. Ripley, Porco Rosso, Chicago
The list could go on but it's not necessary. You can guess that I don't even have a genre preference.
persons
Hm...Florence Welch, Aurora, Clive Barker (have you ever watched one of his interview? This man is the chillest horror genius and I love him so much).
But to be honest, I don't think I have any role model. No one is truly my favourite. I just like someone's vibes and energy. The way they speak, how they dress, their ideas or the way they write. You get the idea.
But all in all, my favourite people are ✨️women✨️🥰
