I think 90% of conspiracy theorists would be a lot happier if they just bit the bullet and got into creative writing
Can confirm
it’s like that post about “if you get a working dog and don’t give it a job it will give itself a job and that job will be disassembling your couch”
if I did not have creative writing (including a very generous helping of fanfiction and headcanon-building, and an avoirdupois shit ton of puns) the part of my brain now known as the “Pattern Recognizer” would either have discovered a unified theory of everything, or be building a conspiracy-theorist cult by now
