And maybe I'm just ancient, but since when has fandom ever been about validating canon? Canon is incidental to fandom output. It is, at best, a guideline. You can stick to it, or you can go so far off the beaten path that you fall off the edge of the world and wind up in a new one where the map has words like "here be dragons" stamped in the upper corner.

Fandom is about exploration beyond the canon. It can look like canon, talk like canon, and sometimes even emulate it so perfectly you'd swear you've found the author's secret account, but it doesn't have to.

This scene from Chapter 6 made me feel all fluffy & I had to try my hand at it. Idk if they look any different from how I usually draw them but I had fun lol.

It’s been raining a lot lately where I live so I drew some yoi fanart based off of this rainy day fic by @amberstarfight called The Hot Bun Bakery and Cafe

Round Two:

All right, kid, here’s the deal. At any given time there are around 1500 aliens on the planet most of them right here in Manhattan. And most of them are decent enough. They’re just trying to make a living.

“Ladies, gentlemen, and other distinguished guests” <- inclusive but far, far too formal
