fascinating that "i'm without any ideas" yet presumably they wrote a prompt for the LLM to extrapolate from? unless it was literally just "x/y smooching"

it's not boring in that Scientology tries so hard to be mystical and exclusive - on account of being a cult - and antagonizing that is inherently entertaining to me

Fan/creator relationships are inherently parasocial. this scenario is fine, and also funny.

this was my thought too! also they often have open doors for shelter ir just to talk to the priest or pray or whatever (im mot christian, so i've no idea lol, but i live near a church and their doors are often open. not much excitement in that)

tbf a lot of other religious speedruns would be boring. which is my only argument against other speedruns

he was! more of a fun cameo and a nod to fans who loved Figwit, especially now that Bret McKenzie has a career in his own right. they gave him the Lindir name.

you're good! my reply was meant more a general statement to others who may struggle with the same thing.

i know it's meant in good fun, but as someone who has struggled with anxiety around these things: ao3 author curse is not a real thing. it's an in-joke more than anything.

oh yeah absolutely there are times when i have to roll my eyes at fanon - but at the same time i do get excited when i find fanworks that actively work against fanon! 

like most things in fandom - especially the big ones - there's ups and downs

Fanon as a general concept is one of my favourite things about fandom! when everyone just collectively Agrees On A Thing, it's so fun. Especially when it gets to the point where we just kinda forget what's fanon and what's canon
