Small panic attack

... When I say I have Aspergers/am an Aspie, do you believe me?

Sorry. I've been watching some conversations in various places (not joining in, learned that lesson a while back), and it's just ...

Misdiagnosed. Overdiagnosed. Fake. Excuse for being an asshole. Not real. The whole thing isn't real, and even if it was, you wouldn't have it. Anyone who says they do is lying.

And I wouldn't ... It's just that I was diagnosed late, only about two years ago, in my last year in college, and even in RL, there's no help available outside of the colleges themselves unless you're diagnosed as a kid, you've got to actually go to the capital city to get someone who deals with adult Aspies, and how the fuck should I know, okay? How the fuck am I supposed to know what's real and what's not?

But that's a different thing, never mind, I just mean that I can't say anything with any authority, I can't answer anything regarding misdiagnosed or overdiagnosed or not real in the first place, because how would I know? If you're asking me to judge the veracity of what a psychiatrist said, I don't know, I can't tell you.

I just ... I don't know how to do this. I didn't know you weren't supposed to say it, and I don't think I've said it much outside my journal? I'm not lying, at least not knowingly (in the sense of actually having a diagnosis, anyway). I ... I don't think I've used it as an excuse for being horrible, but if I have, I'm sorry. It's not an excuse for hurting someone, never that, and if I've used it as such, I apologise (and, you know, tell me, you're allowed to tell me, you can absolutely tell me to back the hell off and shut up, yes, please?).

And I don't even know why I'm panicking, I just ...

I'm not lying to you. Not knowingly. And I apologise if I've hurt people.

Crossover Thoughts and Meme

I was idly thinking about Highlander/Dresden Files crossovers, since apparently I'm in the mood to cross Methos into the Dresden Files universe. I've done Methos meets Michael Carpenter, Methos and The Archive across the aeons, and now Methos trolling the White Council, and I was idly wondering who else I'd like to see him encounter in the DF 'verse. *grins faintly*

The first two thoughts that popped into my head were him meeting:
a) Butters, because Methos dealing with Butters' resigned "For gods sake, I've had enough damned necromancy, can't you people pick a different morgue?" would be hilarious, and they could probably have some interesting discussions on medicine for the fantastic
and b) Murphy and Kincaid, because Methos on holiday in Hawaii finding himself in the middle of whatever made a romantic getaway between Murph and the Hellhould 'interesting' would, again, be damned funny (and kinda awesome).

The one I wouldn't want him to meet is Morgan, because that would end badly for him. Morgan is his equal in combat pragmatism (the man nuked a skinwalker when it became apparent that he couldn't beat it the old-fashioned way), his superior in power and range (got within yards of the Red King, was willing and possibly able to take on a zombie T-rex), and has exactly the kind of rigid morality to make any honest interaction between them fraught with danger. Of course, Methos could always lie to him, but generally speaking Morgan is exactly the kind of trouble Methos goes out of his way to avoid borrowing.

But, anyway! While I'm busy thinking of crossover encounters, why not a quick meme:

Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.
