This is kind of a weird thing about me but when I first started reading fanfic, watching online videos, etc, I actually experienced serious mental distress over this Like if I read a story that just didn't make sense I would freak out and think there was something wrong with mehttps://twitter.com/iridienne/status/1271680158966005761 …
