Join me in my palace of delusions, friend!

Tumblr's probably going to nix the quality, so click for a clearer image.

The composition of this took me forever

Below the cut is a little ramble about my love for the fandom and how I got here in the first place

well well well i thought youd never ask dear anon >:D

ngl dont even know where to begin loll

hmm lets see...

(a lot of these headcanons were made b4 ava 12 and 13 and so mostly go over his past bc in canon his backstory is so damn shrouded in mystery)

i have a hc that Chosen keeps his hair long as a symbol of how long hes been free from alan as he only managed to freely grow it out after he escaped (and dark defo helped chosen maintain his hair after it started to grow out a bunch) :D

1) Thank you, seriously. Those are fun and being included shows that my followers care enough to want to learn more about me.

There is a deeply toxic trend happening across YouTube, X, and other platforms where fans who stick to the actual canon genders and pronouns of Alan Becker's characters are being targeted, harassed, and aggressively antagonized.

I want to preface this by saying that everyone I have personally interacted with in this fandom so far has been wonderful. I haven't personally dealt with this toxicity, but I keep seeing it happen to other fans in comment sections It has reached a point where people are starting fights in the comments section the second someone uses correct, official pronouns.

Let's lay down the absolute, indisputable facts of the series so there is zero room for argument:

The Main Cast are Male: Alan Becker and the crew consistently, permanently refer to the Color Gang (The Second Coming, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green), The Chosen One, and The Dark Lord as he/him.

The Lore Backs It Up: Characters are explicitly named King Orange and Lord. In the latest AvM Alan made a comment stating Purple is a male, he then deleted it. Not to mention in Alan's other channel Alan Becker Clips he constantly referred to the characters with canon pronouns, DJ also referred to them with their canon pronouns.

The Exceptions are Specific: The only canonically female characters are clearly established, such as Orchid (Purple's mother) and Mitsi, and recently The Conductor.

These are Alan's characters. He created them, he wrote them, and he owns the rights to their canon identities. Discarding the creator's explicit words and claiming you "don't trust his statements" isn't a valid critical take —yes I've actually seen someone say that, and with all the pride too and NO ONE actually stood up to that— it is just straight up disrespect to the person whose art you are supposedly here to celebrate. You do not get to dictate a universe over the person who built it.

Let's clear up the inevitable deflection before anyone tries it:

This is not about homophobia, transphobia, or being anti-queer headcanons. Do not hide behind social justice buzzwords to justify being toxic. Fandom has always allowed for creative liberties, Alternate Universes (AUs), and personal headcanons. If you want to headcanon a character as female, non-binary, or anything else for your own art and stories, go for it. No one is stopping you.

But there is a massive, unacceptable line between enjoying your own headcanon and forcing it onto other people.

When someone watches the show, hears Alan use "he/him" and writes a comment using those exact same canon pronouns, they are doing nothing wrong. Attacking them, correcting them with your personal HCs, or acting like they are doing something offensive for simply watching the show as written is completely unhinged behavior.

Your headcanon is a fanmade modification. Canon is the original thing. You can play with your modifications all you want, but you have absolutely no right to harass the people who prefer the original. Stop turning comment sections into a battlefield just because reality doesn't match your personal fanfiction.

You actually pointed a couple of things that I haven't made clearer!

Yes, the creators are giving us something, for FREE!, they genuinely put effort into this thing!. They gathered enough courage to share it with the world!

They can do whatever they want, it's their show!, their characters!, their lore!, if anyone has the most rights to do anything or say anything about their own creations, it's them!

And people somehow forget (or simply ignore) that saying something like that to creators —any kind of creators— can hurt them!

You don't like it?, leave it!, other people enjoy it!, so why ruin the fun for everyone?

And I'll say it again, telling a creator from ANY kind, that you don't trust/respect/acknowledge their own things/thoughts/characters/characteristics/traits of their own characters/lore/story is straight up disrespectful!!!

Aren't they the ones who made it?, aren't they the ones giving it to you to enjoy?.

Keep your toxicity to yourself!, people don't deserve to be hated, disregarded, and disrespected because of your fantasies!

Let them cook!

I think sometimes people get confused on how genuine criticism works. They think saying they don’t like something or calling people bad things is criticism but it’s not. Constructive criticism seeks an improvement and it’s offered ASSERTIVELY! You can’t insult someone to make them change!
