FWIW it’s far from my main interest or anything. It’s just a mood I get into every so often. I doubt it’s something that really shows in my personality, but whenever it comes up I definitely am more interested in tragic news than anyone I know.
I just remembered something that makes me think it runs in my family. My dumbass step brother shot himself through the hand while playing with a gun, and when my mom was telling me about it she excitedly said “you wanna see the bullet hole? :D” and I was like “fuck yeah I do” lmao. It’s not exactly tragic but kinda still morbid to some degree

Yours is the best take.
My guilty pleasure is the Air Crash Investigation series, or more recently Mentour Pilot on YouTube. It scratches both itches in my brain – the logic / engineer side, and the morbid curiosity & fascination with disaster.
The Roy thing is maybe pushing a little into weird. But if this sort of thing wasn’t normal then there wouldn’t be whole shows, subreddits, etc dedicated to disasters.

Thanks for the recommendations ;3
That’s good to know lol. And tbf it is probably a shortsighted desire considering the potential psychological damage.
It’s just that the nightmares I’ve had where I’m facing inevitable death have been super interesting to me in retrospect, so I figure something akin to Roy would just be that but I have full control over my mind and body.
