You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Food: Sushi, crême brulée, medium-rare steak in a cognac sauce, weird ice cream in flavours like African violet and nutmeg.
Music: Post-punk, noise and noise-rock, pretty yet harmonically complex piano music, fuzzy indie pop music with really nice guitar hooks.
Books: Understated fin-de-siècle supernatural horror, fractured yet highly expressive prose, good use of obscure words, post-modern genre-butchery, general low-key creepiness.
Film: Scenery porn, surreal plot digressions, David Lynch, Wes Anderson's dialogue, those moments in Hayao Miyazaki films that make you want to cry in a happy way.
Other: Attractively androgynous people with really pretty eyes.
^ Should have added visual art, but basically what Inane/Frictional said, plus "the abstract end of surrealism," "a careful sense of lighting" and "good texture."
Also, Victorian-era wallpaper patterns, cute animals, echo effects, intentional use of unmoving animated patterns and the works of Edward Gorey.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Fun with bullet points!
Food: pizza, french fries, Tex-Mex, and Chinese Asian buffets to varying degrees
Video Games: monster battling, especially Pokémon
Music: most video game music, especially if the mood exciting and/or happy (rock and metal-inspired tunes usually evoke this reaction)
In General: reptiles, dragons (more so if they're on the "good guy" side)
