If this sounds like an oddly specific question, let me explain.

I was in a Taylor Swift group and was asked to use the "selfie introduction" section to introduce myself. The idea of "selfie equals authentic person" seems to be hardwired into cultural consciousness. Not only are there ways someone might be able to fool that notion (with it going both ways, with people who took all the steps often being considered inauthentic anyways), but there are other ways to verify oneself. At least ten in fact, when I look them up (that always seems to come up first). Have you used any of these? Have you used any other ones? What have you done that hinted at your authenticity in an unconventional way?

And why is there always such a hesitancy for crossovers?

I’ve been inspired to ask this because the 2020’s seem to be the culmination of sequel-mania. There’s a Harry Potter remake series coming out. There was a Pokémon anime sequel that just wrapped up. Lord of the Rings made a prequel series. There’s even a third Avatar series coming out soon (the sequel to Korra).

I would really like some crossovers once in a while. It’s always nice to see the official way in which two universes relate to each other. Yet there is always a high hesitancy when it comes to crossovers, and none of the biggest franchises (Harry Potter, Pokémon, Star Wars, etc.) ever engage in crossovers. Maybe this is my Rick and Morty brain talking, but all these big things going on right now with franchises has fueled my love of crossovers. Imagine, for example, the Avatar after Korra learning that the world of Avatar shares a spirit world with the world of Pokémon, or that Professor Oak replaced Professor Snape after he did.

There is so much potential, why the hesitancy? If you could push an idea, what would it be? How would you shoehorn it?

I have a soft spot for the topic of people who are dual faith. It's weird, you know. If you're an atheist, you get a thumbs up from me. If you're religious with one faith, you get a raised eyebrow from me. And if you are dual faith, you get two thumbs up from me. It just feels like you're more open-minded if you are more than one faith.
