#fandom truths

Honestly, I think the biggest problem with crossovers is that different canons have different base competency levels, and (unless the point of the fic is “I just want to drop [Character from Fandom A] into here so they can fix everything wrong with [Fandom B canon]”), the two canons just end up clashing.

It’s not even differences in tone, or the close-enough-the-differences-don’t-work worldbuilding (it’s much easier to, say, drop an angel into a world with no angel-canon, because you don’t have like - mutually incompatible backstories and ideas of hell or how it works). Discworld, for example, is a comedy, but it’s got a very high level of competence. Merging it with, say, Game of Thrones (much, much lower base level of comptence) is definitely possible, but takes a lot more work than merging it with, oh, Leverage or Prodigal Son or GBBO - where, just as with Discworld, a lot of people generarally know what they’re doing, and can (when push comes to shove), do it well.

(Unless you want the fic where Granny or Vetinai wander into King’s Landing and go nope not having this, no Iron throne for any of you until you actually act like you can handle it.)

Me: so this is you guys, *flips page* and here's our dog *flips page* um... That's- that's just, you know...

Me: *frantically flips through fan art* just, uh, this is- you don't wanna- I've got some normal, I mean, better, ones in the back, I think.

Grandma: why are all the boys holding hands?

Canto 6 is so amazing and peak and has so many characters with subtle but unique writing. There’s no way you can praise a canto without including the other people in the cast!!!!!!

Not to mention 99% of those people also just completely forget that Catherine is very mentally unstable and also a shitty person and not the innocent could-do-no-wrong person they make her out to be

I‘m totally fine with people interpreting or liking characters their own way but please please please look deeper into the story of canto 6 aside from heathcathy content because it‘s actually such a gem

I love canto 6
