The one thing about modern fandom I don't understand, not like I'm very old but I was aware of the old fandom culture, is how canonicity and validation of one's headcanons are always in the forefront instead of playing in the sandbox?
I witnessed it in RWBY, as toxic as that community is.
I witnessed that in Steven Universe.
I witnessed that in Voltron.
I witnessed that in the freaking MCU
I witnessed that in the freaking DCEU
I witnessed it in a lot of fandoms
and now I'm witnessing it in 9-1-1
Is there an award that I'm not aware of whether who gets their headcanons becoming canon?
I get about having narrative theories being proven true, as that is a testament to people putting pieces together, and guessing what the incomplete picture is about.
Is this it? Are we conflating narrative and character theories with shipping fodder? Over which character is going to end up with who?

Shiro sketches
[Image description: a slightly sepia-toned sketch page of Shiro from Voltron. There are four drawings, all bust up, two including his arms. Two drawings are bigger: one of Shiro from a slight angle above him as he leans forward a bit with a serious expression, wearing his usual outfit from the show. The other bigger drawing is Shiro with his arms crossed and a slightly annoyed pout, again wearing his usual outfit. In the two smaller drawings, he's wearing a T-shirt and looks younger, without the white streak in his hair. In one he's shrugging with his eyes closed innocently, and in the other he's leaning forward on a flat unseen surface onto his arms with a smug grin. At the top of the page his name has been written in large letters, and the 'o' has been replaced with a lion's head. /End description]

i hate it when they're so obviously in love with another character but they are so fucking blind to it. they will literally describe the guy as the sun, beautiful, life itself, and then three sentences later call them 'bro'. other character is like 'they will never love me'. my dude shut the fuck up there is a fine line between obliviousness and self deprecation and you walk that fucking line like a tightrope walker. the closet is glass but you're fucking facing the wall. dumb fuck. fucking break the glass. 'what are we' IDIOTS YOU'RE BOTH IDIOTS

Draft art model AU anyway, and see if it draws any wild plots out from hiding. I hear they're usually attracted to the scent of drafts and random frameworks, this time of year.
i have been kicking it around in my mind a bit... some silly bs i thought of for it
