you are playing with an imaginary toy in an imaginary sandbox. fandom is all about having fun and letting your imagination run wild. canon is only a suggestion, not a rule. how much of canon you will follow, if any, is entirely up to you.

please stop trying to apply rules on hobbies and something that’s supposed to be your comfort place and a form of self-care.

“is it okay if I think this” “is it okay if I imagine that” it’s YOUR little world that you create for yourself and your own enjoyment. you literally do not need strangers’ opinions or permission when it comes to a hobby that doesn’t harm or affect anybody in real life. again, it’s YOUR imagination, YOUR world, YOUR creation. you have all the power and the freedom to:

headcanon whatever you want, however you want

ship whatever you want, however you want

write whatever you want, however you want

draw whatever you want, however you want

create whatever you want, however you want

reject whatever you want, however you want

as long as you’re not harming anybody in real life, how you have fun with fictional characters and your imagination is no one’s business but your own’s.

A normal, regulated adult human being is 100% able to tell the difference and understand complexity (no matter how the story is written, by the way). You are simply dysregulated and have the nerve to project your problems onto everyone and try to pretend like your immaturity and inability to understand anything beyond two-dimensional, 'safe' fiction is the status quo.

A story wherein the character(s) take joy in their dark topics, or where it isn't explicitly called out as bad, doesn't make the statement that it's okay irl, either by the way.

Are we really that fucking stupid as a species now that we need the big 'JUST SO YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT OKAY IRL DON'T DO THIS THIS IS BAD BAD BAD' sign on every piece of fiction and media that presents even just an OUNCE of challenging content? Are we so dumb and brainrotten that our morality can apparently flip on a dime just because a damn STORY didn't have a 'just so you know this is bad' disclaimer?? It truly seems so. What a bleak future this paints.
