Cross stitch fan art of the text based adventure game Zork. The opening lines of the game, "West of house. You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here." are stitched, followed by an input prompt. These lines surround a depiction of the house they describe.ALT
The same cross stitch, shown under low light. It is revealed that inside the image of the white house are glow in the dark letters which say "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue." These letters are invisible in full light.ALT
The same cross stitch, shown in the dark. All that can be seen are glow in the dark letters which say "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."ALT

This. Is my pride and joy. A gift for my dad, who played Zork with me when I was a kid, and with his dad when he was a kid. I designed this pattern myself and had a great time puzzling out how to hide the glow in the dark letters!

i actually don't think there's anything morally wrong with being a weirdo fandom autistic

like to clarify, i do believe that it's enriching to engage with a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction, and to have hobbies and interests that take you away from screens, but at the same time, if you're in a place where the only media you can engage with is naruto, and the only thing you read is the naruto manga, and the only music you listen to is from naruto amvs, and your only hobby is naruto cosplay? i don't think that makes you a bad person. like i'm not inherently morally superior to the autistic person who can't go five minutes without thinking about naruto, because my autism perseveration happens to work differently/be more "mature" and "intellectual"
