Oh fully. To me, fiction is like Barbies. They have their own canon lore that is nice but it's not a deterrent for me to create my own wild shit (and enjoy other's wild shit! It's so fun!) that I can mold to my very whim. Transformative works are the height of creativity for me because you take

Something out of nothing, and build entire universes from it. I love original fiction, but there's something about fanworks that I connect to very deeply because it really is like sharing your Barbies with a trusted friend. Or hundreds of trusted friends.

mhmm, it's an immensely satisfying creative activity that we can enjoy as a community

with fic, im taking the most delusional, tenuous threads & crumbs between characters & finding touchpoints (or inventing them) to create a compelling love story or codependent friendship & filling a gap by the source material & manipulating it to suit my personal needs, leaving canon in the dust ok?

this is the exact reason i LOVE rare pairs

heyjude19.bsky.social•8 days ago

ooooh yes, nothing like a good rare pair fic to make me re-evaluate all my prior head canons of a character

Truly! With a couple of exceptions, I wouldn't ship what I do ship if it was canon. Like leave me to build my ships with thread and sticks.

for real! i keep accidentally seeing discourse like 'this ship would NEVER happen, can't believe ppl read this' or the opposite argument 'this should have been canon because xyz...'
no! im having so much fun w/ my non-canon pairs! let me give that character only mentioned by name a full on arc!
