Thinking about the fact that Sabine has been having nightmares in which she replays what happened the day Ezra's dissapeared. Imagine they found Ezra and the first night after that Sabine starts having the usual nightmares, but this time she can just get up and confirm Ezra's there, safe, not in an unknown place but with her, and that ends up being her first night without nightmares in the last ten years.

Donna would love Missouri (which sounds suspiciously like misery)--it's desperate for love, sad, and wet.

"you are the one bright light in kirkwall" says the guy who, at great risk to his own safety and freedom (and probably health), runs an illegal free clinic for the poor and refugees which people are literally told to find by "looking for the lit lantern" I'm so ill. he doesn't even see his own light.

edwin is stronger than me because if I was dragged back to hell after spending nearly a century there and the boy I have a crush on came for me without hesitation, saw my darkest moments and offered me his hand, held me as I confessed my love to him, compared us to orpheus and eurydice, and I had to act like nothing happened... I'd lose my shit.

the idea of an evil Stan au where Ford becomes Stan's indentured servant after Stan breaks and makes a deal with Cipher to keep his brother in line and under him where he "belongs" because he couldn't take it anymore and ending with Ford, who had his self worth beaten into the dirt throughout this experience and wholeheartedly believed he deserved the treatment, eventually learning that he didn't choose for Stan to make these decisions to hurt him worse than he ever did to him and that sometimes family isn't everything if they're abusing you, even if, no especially if the abuse is to 'get back at you' for previous treatment, sounds like it absolutely fucks.

until you realize that in reality, a large part of the fandom will look at it as if Ford actually did deserve to be lowered to being Stan's beck and call and praise Stan for taking initiative and fighting fire with even worse fire, and then you sink into the void because it really sounds cool but you don't want to deal with the fandom misinterpreting everything.

It's the two window kisses for me. It's the fact that when Alex and Henry kiss in front of the window in Paris, they're allowing themselves to see each other completely for the first time and when Alex and Henry kiss in Buckingham Palace in front of the crowds that have gathered in support for Henry - in support of them and their love - they're allowing the world (and Henry's family too!) to see them completely for the first time.

"stop making [media] your whole personality"

ah... okay. yes. so.

first off:

there's this neurodivergent thing, where you use an interest as a filter for processing the world.

for some people that is called a "special interest," for others with different needs it is more of a "hyperfixation;" there are far more variations than i (or the field of psychology) know how to describe now. if you want to understand the difference there are people who can explain those variations better than me. but i can tell you what it feels like.

you discover something.

it doesn't matter what it is; you find something that speaks to you, something you can connect to, and it becomes a bubble of safe habitat from which you can rest from and explore and connect to all the other parts of this strange chaotic world.

a source of joy. a source of illumination.

it's like you're a person who has lived all their life in dark caves and you find something that glows.

these interests can be anything.

(literally anything; i personally derive meanings that you could never imagine from ✨ drainage ditches. ✨)

but very often, they are stories. tv shows, books, movies, comics, songs, podcasts, minecraft improv streams, cartoons, web serials, whatever

these things are:

tangible. you can hold them in your hands, replay them, turn on the subtitles, take screenshots, read the sheet music

and yet

real. they form a genuine connection from your (isolated, untranslatable) internal world to other (formerly unknowable) people and the rest of the universe

they create meaningfulness

and they exist because humans find these incredibly effective soul-deep ways of communicating to one another.

now, appreciating stories, that's not a neurodivergent thing. that's a human thing.

the point of relevance here is that experiencing an extreme love for stories is a neurodivergent thing.

it's a very common neurodivergent trait which often gets mocked, portrayed as childish, and used as a pretext for infantilization and bullying.

(and it is also a trait of young people in general, to take stories very seriously in a way that looks silly to adults, and that is something that many people (regardless of age) try to bully out of each other.

what good is that doing anyone?)

"stop making [x] your whole personality"

listen, you. get down off that goddamn embankment and climb down into this ditch with me. dip your toes in this oily water. watch the stars and city lights ripple into constellations you've never seen

now look me in the eye

you need to understand that no matter what lowbrow, cringey, problematic or otherwise not-to-your-tastes drivel you might be complaining about today,

you are talking about the phenomenon of creativity

you are talking about a transcendent catalyst of human emotion

and yes that includes the overmilked disney franchises, it includes the formulaic shippy fanfictions, it includes whatever brightly-colored cartoon this website is obsessed with this year (and will be having incredibly dramatic meltdowns over next year), it includes the cheesy action movies and the fanservicey anime and the badly-designed video games and the milquetoast tiktok "literature", it includes the indistinguishable scribbles of some random five-year-old and/or famous fine artist and/or precocious elephant

i get it. you care about real life and touching grass and shit. you have taste. just take the stilts off your horse for a second, okay?

i know you're probably sick of "let people like things" discourse

i would just like for you to stop for a second and take a deep breath, and let the stench of whatever is in this mud puddle wash over you (yeah i know, ew, but you'll be fine) and consider

what is so bad about having a cringey personality, anyway?

and maybe you will think better of making "stop making [some silly moment in the universe] your personality" into your personality and maybe you will come off as a little bit less of a snob/ableist/ass and maybe you will have a slightly better outlook on life among humans.

that's all. yeah you can get out of the gutter now. thank you for coming to my ted talk—

ooh wait, look, a bottle cap

You know what? Nevermind. Stop leaving comments on my fic. I don't want comments saying "I wanted you to do this/I thought you'd do that" or ones I can't tell if you're mocking me or not. Stop it. Grow up and learn to treat writers as human beings who are pouring their blood sweat and tears into a story that they're LETTING you read for FREE because they wanted to share a story they were having fun telling. Well, I'm not having fun anymore and I am 🤏this close to just stopping writing the story. And that makes me mad because I was having fun. We were in a mutualistic relationship where I was writing a story I enjoyed and people were also really enjoying it! Now I'm just feeling used.

Okay but I think we can all agree that the Fourth Doctor and Dale Cooper would be besties, right?

Like... idk, the energy of a man who is tasked with investigating the murder of a young woman and the potential links between that killing and supernatural forces, going into that investigation with the mindset of "These are real people with real lives and emotions that were touched by this girl's murder and I should not only be sensitive to that, but try to understand these people and their lives", and then inevitably getting caught up in the personal lives of these people, only to be reminded VERY quickly that there is, in fact, an investigation going on and lives at stake.....

Combined with this energy?

They'd be besties definitely. That's why Twin Peaks couldn't happen in 1975 (beyond the fact that David Lynch would have been not quite 30 years old and yet to release his first film, Eraserhead, which would come out in 1977). Dale Cooper and Four's combined autistic swag and general whimsy for the known universe would have made them unstoppable. Four and Dale together would have located the murderer, the Black Lodge, and Bob, done away with them or imprisoned them in an interdimensional vortex somewhere, and still make it back to UNIT for tea with the Brigadier and Sarah Jane AND the Log Lady within four episodes.

The problem of course is that Classic Who was NOT made with the deeper intricacies of familial trauma and sexual assault in mind, so trying to picture Tom Baker recieving the autopsy report/medical records of Laura Palmer becomes, tonally, a little like the Cancer episode of Home Improvement airing riiight before Dana Carvey's comedy sketch show.
