I stumbled upon a canon on sylvia's site and it gave me a term for something I lacked my own better term for - the tidbits and things that shaped me over the past decades.
Collecting bits and pieces from all over the place

Parasite
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri
Sleep Token
Lorna Shore
Rammstein
Relevant for context, but still unforgiven, especially Till Lindemann personally.
Giselle, specifically all of Act II
Swan Lake Act IV
I love all the various endings, yet the 'correct' ending for me includes Sigfried and Odette dying, freeing all the swans and being together in the afterlife.
The entire second act of the Nutcracker
but very specifically the Sugar Plum Fairy & Cavalier Grand Pas de Deux and the Waltz of the Snowflakes. For a more classical take, see the Royal Opera House Version, and for modern Post:Ballet.
Alexander Ekman
"Play" specifially
Ballet of Hong Kong
Disco Elysium
"I'm so fucking normal right now"
Amor Fati
You can and should imagine me happy, rolling my stone up that hill.
People are way bigger on the inside
(certainly way bigger than our mental model of them.)
