Yk actually I think we as a fandom need to stop separating things by “canon” vs “fanon” and instead describe it more like … dark . Vs not dark. Or smth of similar nature. Cuz some of the “canon” stuff is cool, made for horror purposes, super interesting and I enjoy it a lot, but it is simply not canon and that’s ok !!!!!! (I don’t actually think anyone needs to stop doing anything it’s not that deep)

#example being like.. some people interpret Toby chewing his hands as him being a cannibal which is a super cool interpretation and I like i #but I see someone people take it as ‘oh this is a DEEPER analysis of his character therefore CANON’#but that’s only because it’s an even darker take on something #and darker in this fandom is automatically associated with canon and ‘more realistic’#but Toby used to be a canonically goofy ass teenager with a girlfriend he loved very deeply #yk what I mean ?#regardless I love all the work in this fandom dark or not !!!!!!! I just get bothered by ppl having like a complex abt canon vs not canon #chatterbox #love u guys #sory I keep harping on about this it just like LMFAO IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN #IT DEEPLY IRKS ME WHEN PPL HAVE SUPERIORITY COMPLEXES AND BELITTLE OTHERS OVER SILLY ENJOYMENT #reminds me of cringe culture at its peak LOL #also let me further clarify that fanon stuff like twink Masky is bad . like objectively #not everything fanon is sunshine and rainbows #and there are many weird and gross aspects of fanon too
