I had made a goblin* in my story the son of a troll breeder.
When I set a troll tobe tied up, he's the one who did it.

*It makes sense in context.

[Nyxalinth]

I like the little oddities that crop up in history. Once the fort liason was a *goblin*.

I also love it when the cravans and even enemies have items bearing images of my artifacts on them.

And fluffy wamblers!

Little things? For some reason, I "like bugbats for their swarming flight," so I'm basically obsessed with capturing a bunch, taming them, and breeding a MASSIVE ARMY OF BUGBATS SO BIG THAT THEY VAPORIZE EVERYTHING THAT COMES NEAR THE FORT.

Think about it! Imagine a 100 z-level tall above-ground castle cast entirely out of obsidian with a shit-ton of bugbats flying around. It would be just like Dracula's castle!

(I could just use eagles but nooooooooo it has to be bugbats! I don't know why either, I'm a strange dorf indeed.)

Also: Other little things... I like how just about anything is possible in DF. When I read about the fort that set up an artificial bay to harvest mer-people with the creative use of pumps and traps... I was just like, "Wow, holy crap this is cool!"

Bugbats are probably so appealing because even when DF will be fully unbugged, they will still be BUGbats.

I laughed when I saw one of my dwarves liked "lamprays for their beauty."  I also enjoy it whenever one of them animates their hands for whatever reason, or the one who "screams when surprised."

I like that my miner, who is frail, prone to sickness, completely lacking in a sense of humor, cries easily, gets winded often and is susceptible to disease, DOES HER JOB ANYWAY, even when PREGNANT.

"Fond of drink and industry" indeed.

This right here.

This is dwarves. This is dwarves all over.

Edit: mixed up threads again:

Finding a civilization with an awesome name. Just listen to the ones from a newly genned world: The Tower of Genius, The Chamber of Fellowship, The Immortal Seals, The Mountain of Ravens, The Labyrintine Tomb, The Divine Metal...

My awesomely-skilled clothier made a vest, and adorned it with a picture of the artifact toga they made.
Vain much?! I'm gonna trade it. It's like an advertisement or something.

[Halnoth]

Fairy and unicorn blood, I don't know why but anytime I see either on the ground a laugh a little.

[Yoink]

My militia commander and his eight beloved pets... Who mill around him constantly, get in the way, and crap everywhere.

[Robert]

My favorite thing is the engravings. I recently executed a goblin general via spike pit impalement, and now I have about 20 engravings of a goblin being impaled.

[Yoink]

Oh yeah! Engravings are awesome, both when they're of an event I fondly remember, or when they're of some historical event from before my fort started.
Also, I was trading recently, and the caravan, which had only visited my fort once before, was selling tonnes of items bearing engravings of my artifact, 'Craftsystems' the red rope reed toga. I was delighted.

[Rastaan]

I like it when I find out that all the cheap cages I just bought are full of turtles.

[WrathNail]

When an undetected goblin thief steps into a weapon trap and bits fly off.

When a hunter makes a succesful kill.

When I finally manage to bring magma up 150 z-levels and watch as it flows into a pre-designed channel or trap.

In short, when things go...
