Like, to me, the kind of "taking yourself too seriously" I mean is getting really pissed off that other people questioned your research and angrily blustering that, as the bestselling famous author here, you have the right to define what words mean in your universe

It might be that a different idiom would work better when trying to describe this kind of thing, as “too seriously” implies a defect in the seriousness level. Whereas reacting badly to / blustering over the problem being mooted suggests a creator not being serious *enough.*
