fantastic. i love it. i posted this after my wife said it yesterday and as i was doing it i was like "this can't be an original thought. as soon as i hit post someone's going to say 'you stole this from a tweet from 2014' and i'll say 'no, i stole it from my beautiful wife.'"

It's so fucking crazy that the Star Trek episode where you first see Spock do the Vulcan salute that would become emblematic of the entire franchise, and the first time you hear him say "live long and prosper," is also the one where he has to return to his home planet to Fuck Or Die but then gets manipulated into a pro wrestling match with Kirk that apparently serves the same function as the fuck option and totally cures him. And this aired as the season two premiere! It was the first time audiences saw Chekov! And it's the one with top surgery Kirk. It truly has it all. Greatest TV episode ever made.

It's a proud B-movie nerd moment when you can recognize the stock music from Giant Spider Invasion in the Doris Wishman penis transplant movie.

hi this drives me crazy

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.

these are all different words with different meanings.

Also! Terms that are related to this, but are mostly used on TV Tropes:

* Word of God: The author made a remark about the work's lore that isn't in the book. Can generally be considered canon unless something in the text refutes it.

* Word of St. Paul: An editor or voice actor or actor has made a remark about the work or a character therein that they believe to be factual. Can also be considered canon unless contradicted by the text or Word of God.

* All There In The Manual: supplementary materials give information on the lore. This can fall under either of the above categories if a person relevant to those worked on them.

* Word of Danté: The fans are the only source of this idea, but nothing contradicts it, nostly because the above does not exist for the work in question. Is very similar to "fanon."

My nitpicky issue with the "can be considered canon" thing is that it muddies the waters for discussing what is actually in the work itself and what isn't. If it's not in the work itself and I wouldn't know about it unless I follow the creator on social-media-site-du-jour then I don't think it should be considered canon, actually. It's Word of God, but it's not canon.

my relationship to art is obviously that i believe in the independence of a work and that a text and its meaning can essentially belong to the audience, you are producing meaning, and with that point it is dota. then it is a conversation of how grounded and coherent it is of all that is there in the text. i also think there can always be a degree of critical thinking and self-awareness here of “my interpretation, while ultimately not ungrounded, might not be what the intent was and what is actually being done if i take into consideration a lot of the actual text, or even the expressed intent of the author who is making choices and creating this text.” that is the thing about killing the author too, they were still the one creating something, it is a product of their deliberate choices, and as a result a lot of what is in a text often ends up inseparable from intent to me if u think about it logically (this also depends on the author’s ability then). but anyway, complex art should trust me to be able to think for myself and have my own relationship to it, and even leave a lot of space for differing grounded interpretations of something. i actually like authors who, as a hard rule, refuse to say their own thoughts and by extension how their work should be interpreted. but, ultimately, there r degrees here lol and some readings r just objectively wrong about things that are in the text, rendering it ungrounded and so deeply flawed. this is bound to make a perspective inconsistent, and it is possible for something to be an incoherent analysis of what is there. i do think “media illiterate” is an overused not very meaningful or productive concept, but i understand ppl desiring to label what they encounter as that i suppose

Dracula season... it beckons......

(Alts and dress ref ⬇)

[general-sleepy]

Mina Harker, a black woman with curly brown hair in an updo and gray eyes, wears a long-sleeved, high-necked black Victorian dress with a line of silver buttons up to her white collar. She looks up and off to the side with a mild expression. Behind her are waves fading into a gray sky.

Below are two similar variations of Mina in the same dress. Then, there is a Victorian-era photo of a black woman sitting and wearing the same dress. END ID]

Clearly frustrated by the third disheartening rampage on their town this week, a band of perturbed, torch-wielding villagers gathered at the gates of Dr. Benedikte Cojocaru’s castle Monday to confront the monster that had left a trail of inappropriate destruction and chaos, in hopes of communicating how let down they all felt by his murderous actions, sources said.

“What were you thinking?” respected village elder Petar Grul said. “You’ve been out all night, doing God knows what, while we cower in our homes unable to sleep. Frankly, we’re at the end of our rope here.”
