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.

about 90% of fanfiction takes place in a utopia where men are thoughtful and unsure of their place in the world

fave dynamic is platonic but somethings weird with it (the weird part is an insanely deep level of devotion, trust and understanding, as well as narrative importance that is not typically allowed for platonic relationships in media, making the portrayal feel unique and queer in nature. typically best served as m+f)

There’s a quality that certain books/movies/TV shows have that leads me to say, “Yeah, I can see people making fanfiction of that.” It’s something to do, I think, with how tight the story is, how much feels open-ended or like it could be elaborated on.

Something like Breaking Bad, for example, has low squiggability (that’s what I’m calling this quality). It’s tightly written, the characters are consistent, there’s little left to interpolate or extrapolate. Obviously, people DO write fanfic of Breaking Bad, but it still has a low squiggability score. Whereas something like Supernatural has a high squiggability score. Fantasy and science fiction often have high squiggability scores. This suggests squiggability could also be related to worldbuilding and potential for people to borrow a premise or setting.

And sometimes you’ll read or watch something and you’ll say, “Ah, low squiggability,” and then you’ll open tumblr and find out that everyone else seem to think its squiggability was very high indeed.

I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

ai could simply never create a body of fanfictional work that is so revealing about the author that it borders on humiliating.

awesome that you can form a bond through gay sex which neither of you are engaging in, you're just both thinking about it really hard

updated opinion: uuuuuggghhhhh we're gonna have to work with them and they'll think they're right even tho it's bc we're helping vs actually knowing what are the limitations of their methods and that means they'll keep going like this

i was called out by another coworker lol

"[verm], you want people to acknowledge when you're right and they're wrong about a solution. it's an ego thing"

"it's not like--i don't have to have them do that, [coworker]. that's a personal gripe, and i'm really just after cohesion and understanding"

"lol well, for me it's an ego thing. 'i'm right, you're wrong'"

"...okay fine, it's an ego thing for me too" 😔

#working verm #yeah i speak all corporate-like and i don't like it per se but it has its uses #i also throw in casual vernacular too #but what i really hate is when engineering guys try to get all boys' club/frat bros type of speak and attitude #it portends carelessness and lack of rigor
