Rereading Physics of the Spin again. It encapsulates everything I try to make Ma understand.
Yes, I stay up late frequently. Yes, I probably won't get the dishes done soon cause Batman is fighting Man-Bat and I need to see what will happen even though I have seen this episode multiple times...
I have to understand things. The 'stupid fanfic' you keep dismissing is not stupid at all. I'm reading Sherlock kidfic right now? On AO3 alone there are over 50. 90% of it is crap but that leaves 5 really good ones. That doesn't even count ffn. 50 fanfics all on one subject and more is being created every day.
I need the stories. I just wish you could understand that.
