the natural order, baby

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.

Kozmotis chuckles as Mother Goose presents one of her typically delving questions. “As a matter of fact, we’ve worked in tandem over the millennia many times. No one is older or more immutable, after all. But, ah, she usually arrives after my work has concluded and peace descends. Not safety, mind, but peace.”

He twirls his scythe. It falls with a thhhhsssk into the fertile soil, deeply piercing the surface. He leans on the hilt.

“yup. I like to change it up every couple centuries.”

A woman, barefoot and quiet as a forest creature on the hunt, clad in head to toe green and black and perhaps, in certain strange ways, unnervingly familiar, approaches from a black corner of the woods. She smiles at a muscle feathering in the boogeyman’s jaw. “Relax.”

She wheels on Katherine like a tipsy dervish, co al black hair covered in sticks and tiny, tiny blossoms. She’s chewing something like one chews gum. is it gum? Don’t check.

I use no Generative AI to write for me.

I use no Generative AI to create images for me.

I do not wish to write with people who actively use Generative AI.

If you write with me, you won't ever have to fear any AI being used to doing my replies for you. I will not feed your writing to ChatGPT and the like, and I would appreciate it if you don't feed my writing to any kind of Generative AI either. You do not have my consent to do so.

She was many things but most of all, she was a mother.

She can be good.

Demonstrations are just one tool in a greater resistance movement.

If one is activated beyond the level of demonstrating only, that is good.

But not everyone is, and demonstrations are a way to further activate and onboard newcomers to a resistance movement.

There's a place for people who are a little more activated (not necessarily the most activated in a resistance movement who may be traveling or tending to higher level state or national organizing) to attend a local demonstration to pass the word to others about further local resistance efforts.

For example, I've found information online easily about national level organizing or resistance in other states and counties, but I actually don't know who is safe or actively involved in resistance or mutual aid in my immediate local area, so events that have local events within a larger movement can help us find our people.
