A4O Video Grab Bag: Canon vs Non-Canon...

so i just finished watching through the video grab bag perk we got yesterday, and it was revealed in the audition tapes that the story of the show was EXTREMELY different than it is in the actual show. you also learn a ton  of backstory about all of the characters’ relationships to each other. for example:

- portianna is actually a kind of toxic relationship for portia especially. arianna will go out, flirting w/ other girls in front of portia, and then call it “information gathering.” in the end of that scene, portia asks if she can also “information gather” and arianna doesn’t seem bothered by the idea and then they both say they would choose each other over other people.

-treville and rochefort have a long history w/ each other. owen has asked treville out multiple times and been turned down repeatedly and there was also an auto accident? and during a convo between owen and anton, he talks about how he can play her very easily, but anton points out that she can alos play him easily.

-rick, anton and rochefort’s whole plan was to destroy the greek system at the school and take the sigma for themselves.

-dorothy got kicked out of the legacy ball bc her grandmother wasn’t a sigma sister. the entire plot is based around finding evidence that grandma castlemore was a sigma sister and a good one. it is later revealed that she was a sigma sister, but only for six semesters and got kicked out for “unsisterly like conduct.” it’s just a big mess.

- small detail but it is confirmed that dorothy’s parents are divorced and her mother hated her grandmother with a burning passion.

-miller’s parents died when he was 10 and then he fell into depression.

-this isn’t a story change but it is an amazing fuck up from gwenlyn in episode 19 that needed to be giffed:

none of this is canon yet but if we can include next season it would be awesome!

All For One Rewatch

Episode 3: A Meeting of Minds

Well That was a whirlwind 

[a4oseries]

is there a different name we should call ariana now, or is he still going by ariana?

The creative team have not settled on Ariana’s chosen name so until it is announced we will continue to call him Ariana.

On Ariana Henries

Recently on social media, Xavier, the actor who plays Ariana Henries in All For One, came out as transgender, using he/him pronouns.  When the A4O Tumblr was asked if this would factor into Ariana’s character, they responded with a resounding yes.  If season 2 is made, Ariana will be confirmed as a trans man.

But here’s the thing.  Season 2 might not get made, and in that case, Ariana will never be in-text confirmed as trans.  You can argue about what’s canon and what’s not, but in the end, there are very few trans male characters in media these days, and the fact that the creators intend for Ariana to be a trans man, even if it’s never confirmed in-show, is very important.

Therefore, it seems only right that when discussing Ariana, we should refer to him with he/him pronouns, and refrain from calling Portiana a wlw relationship.  Representation of a trans character is very important for trans fans, and with so few trans male characters out there, Ariana being a trans man should be respected, whether season 2 is made or not.

So if you want to see more trans characters in media, donate to the All For One Season 2 Indiegogo!  And even if the show doesn’t get to continue, I hope we as a fandom can be respectful of Ariana’s gender.

Ariana’s heart eyes for Portia! Awww :) (srsly look at that lovely smile she’s giving Portia)

Please can we have Portiana back together? Pretty please @a4oseries ?

[a4oseries]

Since Angie recently came our as trans on Insta and now uses he/him pronouns and goes by Xavier, will his character get changed?

Yes, part of Ariana’s season two story will stem from exploring what it means for him to be a transman in a sorority.

Oh sure the good kind spying like, "Here, have some flowers, and a puppy and some spying".

Portia to Ariana at some point
