The Headcanon Heap

Bible au introductions! I’ve needed to make something for this au for awhile now starting with some formal introductions. It’s small but it’s something , with that I’ll be drawing more for this au in the future.

No, I totally understand what you mean! I wish I was in a better position to answer this, but I'm gonna try my best :,) I'm not suuuuper sure if any of this contributed but might as well take a guess.

Before joining the ML fandom, a lot of the stuff I sought out on the internet was what I'd call "lowbrow literary analysis". This is not to imply anything I'm about to recommend is poor quality, just that it's more accessible than shit like published books or academic journals. I think in order to analyze characters in terms of their meta, you have to understand the mechanics of writing, and you learn to piece together its mechanics really well when you figure out a million different ways to do it wrong. 

KrimsonRogue, Jenny Nicholson, Dominic Noble, and Lindsay Ellis are all good places to start. I'd particularly recommend Lindsay's video on Bright and then Krimson's vidoes on all of Onision's shitty shitty work plus Empress Theresa. 

Additionally, familiarizing yourself with the media tropes that are out there can help you identify them when they show up in other places. OSP has a series on Trope Talk discussing them, and if you just want a massive encyclopedia on every trope ever TvTropes is the website to thank. 

As for more highbrow stuff, my introduction to the topic was through the book How To Read Literature Like A Professor, by Thomas C. Foster. I think this is a great book because it goes into some really easy-to-grasp examples of what certain elements might mean in the context of a story (weather, showing characters eating a meal, etc etc). Then for another books on writing that I own/would recommend, there's The Art of Fiction by John Gardner—Gardner goes into more detail in terms of literary theories, metafiction etc, and while his is more dense than Foster's it can get a bit more technical with it since the book is marketed to writers.
