I don’t exactly feel I’m the “number one fan” of these things, especially publicly, but I guess in the back of my mind I do. I think this comes from the neurodivergent attachment I have to myninterests in the way we both intermingle and they become part of my being just as much as my thoughts and preferences are. I don’t think all my opinions are right and I don’t think it’s my place to claim “number one fan”-ship but I still think that, a. Lot of the time, people don’t understand things or characters like me, especially characters. I’m open to criticism and I get it sometimes! I enjoy debates and I actually usually start them on my own. Only with people I know or in like a discord server idk… but yesterday I was the defendant of Ivan in ALNST which makes me sound how I don’t want to, but I have a firm belief that all ALNST ships are toxic in the main story of ALNST and it bothers me when you can accept one and not the other. I think that for characters specifically it really depends because if I see they relate to said character too I get so unbelievably hurt and angry. It’s not something I can help. I try not to! But most of the characters I kin they are part of my soul, and the way I am and who I am have been influenced by them. So someone else trying to say they understand them “like I do” is just an insult to me. But overall I tend to be open minded! I’m not the number one ALNST fan and will never claim to be, but I do think that for most of my kins, nobody gets them like I do…
