is it “autistic person” or “person with autism”?

im autistic, i prefer autistic person

im autistic, i prefer person with autism

i’m alistic(non autistic), i say person with autism

i’m alistic, i say autistic person

i was just in an argument about person first vs identity first language and they said “there’s no census that proves disabled people prefer disabled over persons with disabilities” so here you go

Reina del Cid is one of my favorite musicians. Her YouTube has some amazing covers.

But this Star Trek engineering rap is just delightful.

a thing about fanfiction is a lot of it isn’t fanfiction based on the source material it’s fanfiction based on fandom based on the source material and it ends up just being….off

it’s like a long chain of someone’s interpretation of other peoples interpretations of that character instead of the actual character

But this isn’t a “thing” about fanfiction. Every tv show or book movie about a profession or a historical figure or whatnot runs into the same problem. Namely, that writers often will first look to what’s been written before, rather than what happened before. For a TV show like Ted Lasso, they look at romcoms and sports movies and British office comedies rather than doing in-depth interviews with football players and spending time embedded with football teams. Most fantasy novels and shows and movies draw more directly from Tolkien than from historical myths and folktales. Marvel movies are essentially ouroboroses (ouroborosi?) at this point.

It’s not fanfiction that has this “thing,” it’s literature itself; it’s telling the stories about stories about stories. And yes, that does result in some telephone-game-style misunderstandings of the “canon;” I remember in the Stargate Atlantis fandom, for example, this common fanfic trope of John Sheppard hanging out in the science labs to help with Atlantean tech when he doesn’t ever do that on the show. But again, it’s not unique to fanfic, it’s endemic to all writing. Arthur Conan Doyle never wrote Sherlock Holmes wearing a deerstalker; Julius Caesar never said “et tu Brute;” shock paddles aren’t used nearly as often in the real world as they are on TV.

We listen to stories about stories about stories all the time, and we in turn tell stories to suit ourselves.

I actually kind of love this? Because it means that the stories all live together in our minds as a kind of story soup where everything simmers together, sharing and taking on flavors. Doesn’t matter where an element came from - canon or another fan’s work - if it’s in the soup, it’s part of the story now.

Yes. The OP might as well be saying isn’t it funny how fanfic works the same as all other literature. Taking someone else’s story and making your own version of it is how humans have worked since we came up with stories.

(Also honestly I think it’s kind of amazing and shows the innate creativity of any kind of storytelling, even when it’s ostensibly based on XYZ media. Like the fact A/B/O doesn’t really come from a canon source, but is now a Thing™ with its own rules and tropes, or the number of Sentinel AUs in various fandoms that use tropes and rules established within the Sentinel fandom, that are not for the most part in the Sentinel canon. It’s pretty wonderful tbh.)

Humans tell stories, and both the story and the storyteller are changed in the telling. Fanfic is no different from other literature in this regard. And I think that’s pretty wonderful, actually.
