What was your favorite topic of research you've done for an RP?
Bonus points if you link to/recommend any of the research materials.
EDIT:
Anything counts as long as you only looked into it, read it, found out it was a thing for an RP
My favorites were circus culture and fairytale motifs. They were so interesting I'm still really fascinated with both topics.
For circus culture, my favorites were this list of circus slang, and the book The Art of Clowning which is one of the most accidentally entertaining books I've ever read.
For fairytale motifs, Jon Solo on Youtube has a really fun series where he covers fairy tales (and it's where I first learned about the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Classification of Folk Tales) and the book Morphology of the Fairy Tale, which is dry but pretty interesting if you can summon the will to pick it up again.
