Falling in love, again, with more OCs 🤷🏼

Yesterday my wife saw the color-coded post-it note tabs in one of my Fantastic Beast companion books and was like, “Can you make your next hyperfixation or special interest housekeeping?” and at first I almost walloped her, because rude, and then she quickly explained, “I’m just saying, in a perfect world where we could funnel your ridiculous ability to obtain and organize massive amounts of information into exactly what we needed, our house would be immaculate” and I was like “yes ma’am, and unfortunately they’re disorders for a reason”

We both had a good laugh. I then posted a fic I’d been working on, confident I’d be able to switch my brain back to another longtime interest (my research) after getting the current FB plot bunny out of my head…

And yet, less than 24 hours later, I’ve started another one. This is exhausting. Make it stop lmao. But 1969 Newt & his 18-year-old son are extremely humorous to me, so whatever

#brb locking my phone & signing out of google so I can continue to not fail out of school #lmao #I’m so close to this phd but the process is excruciating simply horrific #uefb rambles #my stuff #fic: incomplete understanding #newt scamander #oc ch: janus herschel goldstein scamander #fantastic beasts fanfic #this is just the autistic Scamander duo really #the whole premise of this fic is a bit of projection #as I am a person with interest in animals & nature who ended up studying and working with humans their whole life - bc they’re confounding #Janus develops a special interest in anthropology and human relationships as a kid #and he sort of develops that into a career — he’s a master at finding the patterns in human behavior & body language #whereas newts strength is doing that with creatures #they sort of end up travelling together a bit during his teen years & young adulthood — Newt studies creatures- Jan studies people & politic #I imagine they’d team up eventually & this is the first time I imagine it really explicitly happening #newts hitting a wall with a training program at a dragon reserve #he can’t connect to the handlers - can’t make his words match the things his body is doing - can’t figure out #how to explain it - because he’s never actually observed himself & what makes his own body language around dragons different than others #Janus sees something Newt can’t — sees the disconnect between the words and what he’s actually doing - sees what the handlers are missing #so they start a study together & come up with a solution #which is really just pretty precious if you ask me #not that you did #my god that was a long ramble #uefb rambles in the tags
