New media or announcements can dramatically change the context, meaning, or even the exact contents of a setting’s lore. The most dramatic example I can think of is Star Wars. While the third trilogy was in development, it was announced that the vast majority of the Star Wars expanded universe was no longer canon. This was huge as there was a LOT of media published using the Star Wars setting after the second trilogy was completed and all of it was no longer considered part of the official canon. They weren’t disavowed or anything, but they no longer were considered to have actually happened.

What’s more, they are all easily recognizable and their involvement in any story can make it stand out. It’s all fun and games until Arbiter Daos asks to see you. But there is something that should be avoided heavily and that’s integrating an NPC into your character’s story in such a way that they had an active role in your character’s life if not still do. No, I don’t mean metaphorically, I mean everything.

" (for example) memes reblogged by fans who insist (or imply) no one is allowed to ship them (and/or lame jokes about only boring straight people liking them as a pairing) is certainly an annoyance. Similarly applies to close friendships between two male or female characters. Just because you like them as in a romantic relationship does not mean everyone must. • Yes, one of my headcanons is that Levi doesn't have what a lot of people think he has canonly.

Maybe she was really problematic in ways I didn’t recognize back then (I was, what, fourteen? and unkissed in rural Tennessee). But as a kid reading Iron Man, I thought she was awesome. No superpowers, but she was fierce and rebellious and not evil and wore cool clothes and had a good sense of humor and liked to dance and, well. It seemed to me, at the time, like a relationship two adults might have, if one of the adults was a recovering alcoholic superhero and both had net worths in the quintillions. To further define these terms, let us look at an example from the Harry Potter universe.

If you do change a character, make sure you explain that this is a legitimate difference and not a mistake so people don’t try to helpfully correct you for the rest of your life. People like helping, especially when they love your character and want to make sure you know absolutely everything about them to make it as realistic as possible. Throughout the 2000s, particularly from the 2020s onwards, some fans noticed an increase in people using (insert term)-coded with greater frequency, sometimes as a means of implying a greater canonical validity than just a headcanon[1]. For example, instead of fans headcanoning a character as autistic, they were autistic-coded, and instead of a character being head-canoned as queer, they were queer-coded. In terms of a given literary series, "canon" describes a set of works that are collectively recognized by the community as having authenticity.

I very gently cut things together so that both canon and non-canon are true, and then whistle and look away whenever it comes up. People usually go for it, since I’m not breaking their suspension of disbelief. Make sure when you do this, you don’t mess up anyone else’s timeline. Give them reason to not remember it happening or for it not to have happened to them explicitly.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s Holmes stories, published in periodicals, encouraged analysis of the works as a canonical universe because they offered reliably consistent information about the characters across different episodic arcs. Gail Simone started the Women in Refrigerators site to highlight this precise issue, of horrible fates befalling characters who happen to be (1) in comics and (2) female. By the time I became aware of the WiR website, and the fact that this was an endemic issue in comics generally, I’d been out of collecting for half a decade, so I cheered from the sidelines, and offline. In fiction I’ve fought my own version of the good fight, by thinking very critically about murder, rape, and assault in my own work, and by reviewing manuscripts and encouraging fellow authors to think deeply as they deal with squicky stuff. Seeing "shout-out to close m/f friendships in media!

It’s important to distinguish between these vastly different corners of fandom because they aren’t all in conversation with one another — and when they are, they often approach the conversation very differently.

Please note, if you do happen to give it another solid shot, feel free to touch base with me, I'm always looking for players to delve into RP with, and I do mean always. Anyway those power-tripping 15 year olds are 25 years old now, post-shutdown. After making (and encountering) young heroines and villains with troubled past and times spent in juvie, I decided to flesh out the place and see if others wanted to add their stories to it.

Or options #3, which involves hacking and splicing what you know. Okay, so the first time remember they met was when they were older, but what if Zach had saved Cloud from bullies and neither of them knew it? We can fuck with things so that both are true.
