"And At Last, Smitten By The Ineffable Love As By A Sting, And, Like The Seraphim, Filled With The Godhead,

"And at last, smitten by the ineffable love as by a sting, and, like the Seraphim, filled with the godhead, we shall be, no longer ourselves, but the very One who made us." - Oration on the Dignity of Man, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, 1486

Not the presenter in the lecture I was in today asking us "well you all know Jane Austen?"

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

fanfiction.net for Fanfic Advertised As Such.

Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew (nancy drew books for young readers, however, is advertised as A Spinoff, but I think it counts as fanfic. So probably that. Oh, or the ghostwritten Boxcar Children books.

These may lack the element of Being In Fandom Culture, but they are Works Based On Some Other Works.

Every time I see this question come up in a poll, the answers are always so very obviously by a very young fan. So we’re going to try this.
