So you're telling me Bill Cipher is canonically from the same dimension Sue Ellen created in the Arthur episode where Neil Gaiman was in her falafel?

Happy New Year! With all the buzz around the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, I thought I'd take the time to delve into Rick Riordan's oft-forgotten stepchild: The 39 Clues, which is getting a Netflix show thanks to... Me! Don't believe a word I say? I promise, my sources are cited!

Out of curiosity, were you on FFN while the original 10 39C books came out?

I was not! I started reading fics probably around 2013-2014 (for ROTG mainly) 🙊

Thanks for this; listen, I’m a TCW girlie, I’m first and foremost familiar with the fact that sometimes, soldiers in these stories die, and there’s nothing anybody can do to bring them back. If Tech died and they wanted to treat that with the seriousness that they did with every other character who’s had a tragic death, I wouldn’t be HAPPY, but I wouldn’t be as pissed about it as I am right now!

Okay, this is likely the only thing I'll post on the Bad Batch finale situation:

Tech fans, I would like you to stop calling yourselves "delusional." (Or delulu, or any variant.) I would sincerely ask others to stop as well.

It is both ableist and quite literally inaccurate from a storycraft standpoint.

(Especially because we're talking about a likely neurodivergent character and definitely many neurodivergent fans.)

You weren't. We weren't. The signs were there. The foreshadowing (falling into clouds, the goggles, CX2's Everything) was real and consistent and *intentional.* You are not delusional for LOGICALLY FOLLOWING writing convention patterns and leading where the writing is directing you. (If there's something the majority of autistic story-enthusiasts are good at, it's logical storycraft and pattern recognition, both in creating and consuming! We know how to follow basic steps!)

They can say "oh it was just a red herring", and that is Technically (ha) true, but it is one of the most blatant and frankly cruelly marketed ones, that smacks of stringing fan emotions along to keep us watching when they know many would stop watching if they knew what lay ahead. (Using a basically-confirmed-autistic character's death for shock value and little else, and then using the ambiguity of Is He Really Dead Or Is He This Extremely Similar Looking Guy We Brought in Right After' to keep churning up social media buzz. I might have.)

You were not delusional to have hope - that's what Star Wars is about.

You are not delusional to think this is wrong, a writing fumble, or simply them yanking the football away when *it was there all along.* The road signs were clear, they were just... lying, for lack of a better term.

You're not wrong for being upset about this, the latest in a long history of autistic characters treated as plot devices and catalysts for neurotypical characters' development rather than their own, and fans taken advantage of.

Please treat yourselves better. And if you're on the outside, or neurotypical, please treat us better. I promise, we have actual reasons for feeling pain right now, and delusions are not at all among them.

Thank you.
