HELLO :) IS THIS CORRECT? "What you only need to know is that I'm fascinated with anything that is cute and vintage" should i use "are" because im talking about two things or "is" is okay?
"All you need to know is that I'm fascinated with anything that is cute and vintage" sounds more natural, but in answer to your question, "is" is fine.
(You're actually talking about only one thing: the fact that I'm fascinated with anything that is cute and vintage.)
