Being autistic is fun because on one hand if you so much as mention The Legend of Zelda you won't be able to shut up, as in once I was at an archery range with my friend and his family, saw a kid with a Zelda shirt and complimented it. The kid and I were joking about if I'm a real fan and he (jokingly) asked me to name every enemy, and about ten minutes later my friend and his dad practically had to force me to stop talking because I was still going about enemies and occasionally devolving into a small mini rant that is also Zelda themed. But also despite being more than happy to talk about keese and the non canon Zelda games, my most recent mini obsession is two specific old oil paintings, that being Saturn Devouring His Son, and Ivan The Terrible and His Son. You cannot mention these paintings to me because I won't shut up. I had my mom buy me a shirt with the Ivan The Terrible Painting on it. Saturn Devouring His Son is my phone lock screen. I started teaching myself oil painting so I could do artwork similar to them both. Also I have redrawn Ivan The Terrible and his son four separate times in the last six/seven months as Link and Zelda from BOTW. Same drawing, only difference being that I'm getting better and more detailed at it each time
