hi! i actually know and am friends with the person whose take you’re discussing. ACOC has a very active fanbase and extensive fanmade lore, to the point where zines made about ACOC have made several thousand dollars. we are all very passionate about ACOC, and we’re allowed to mourn certain pieces of work that we’ve put a lot of time and passion and effort into that will inevitably be deemed definitively non-canon.

Legitimately, I do not know how you expected folks to take this statement:

so concerned about the worldbuilding in the acoc prequel actually. I hope they don't contradict any widely established pieces of fanlore 

You guys are expressly worried about the actual creators of this world contradicting your fanon.

And guys, you’re writing fanfic. It was always and will forever be non-canon. It’s canon to your version of this universe, but it will always be non-canon fanfiction to the actual canon of A Crown of Candy. You may have written things that coincidentally ended up lining up with Brennan’s worldbuilding but even then, it’s still non-canon.

The only people who decide what’s canon are the people involved in the creations of that universe and telling that story.

Even once The Ravening War airs and wraps, absolutely no one is stopping you from continuing to write in your AU version of canon. That’s the whole purpose of fanfic. Those works you spent time on will still be there.

But you can’t exactly act surprised when people find it incredibly silly that a bunch of folks are getting this broken up over their fanon getting contradicted by the actual canon of the story that Brennan & Mercer are telling.

“Mercer might contradict the fanon” is my new favorite entitled fandom take about The Ravening War.

Like, I didn’t think we’d actually have to sit some of y’all down and explain that fanon isn’t actually canon to the story’s universe. It’s just fan theories.

@distraughtlesbian replied to your post:

the drow term for albinos, can actually have fangs—they’re listed as a potential birth defect as szarkai have a higher chance of being born with deformities, along with things like hairlessness and gnarled/clawed hands—but they’re specified to be *small* fangs and of course astarion has noticeable TEEF, so you’d just have to roll the dice and hope mr. gandrel the gur has never met another fanged drow

This was so very informative! I didn’t realise that albino drow could have fangs. I think that would also be a persuasion roll to try to make. (Memo to self: have the gang try to pass him off as szarkai in Baldur’s Gate.) Thank you for the educational comment. :>

my god……..keradin/calroy carrot cake. your mind

okay I promise everyone that keraroy a) makes sense but b) understanding calmethar and kerapin is so crucial to understanding keraroy. it's a dynamic the way kerapin is a dynamic. it's NOT a ship but it IS very very funny. what if we were both having a breakdown in castle candy post coup bc we both killed someone important to our core identity and we are having separate breakdowns about it AND we both hated each other and we were both boys 😳

hey! i know you've mentioned before that you're in the process of learning cree, and i was wondering where it was that you were having lessons? i've been trying really hard to reconnect as best i can, but i live in a very white community with my white mother, so actually reconnecting has been, how do you say, A Bitch! anyway, my point is, i would really appreciate it if you could give me some pointers! thanks and have a good day!

I signed up for classes at a nearby university, but because of covid, we’re doing everything online. But I think there’s some other sites that offer it for free, of the sort of duolingo type (but not duolingo itself, I don’t think)? You’d just have to find them. I think my first point for you would to be to learn the sound system first. Find what dialect you wanna learn and are from (Plains Cree? Woods Cree? Atikamikw? Naskapi?) and then learn the sounds from that specific dialect, it’ll make pronouncing actual words a lot easier later. I think it wasn’t AS hard for me to learn the sound system even though I didn’t technically do that first because I’ve been surrounded by Cree speakers my whole life, I hear my Kohkum speak Cree regularly, so I have her for reference and for a guide if I’m having trouble. There’s language apps and sites that will have voice recordings for you to use for this exact purpose, so that’ll help, you just gotta find them!

Secondly, listen to people speak Cree, specifically your dialect should be good, but even then Cree sounds familiar even to different dialects, so it might still help. One thing I like listening to is Wapos Bay, a Cree tv show from APTN, which also has a Cree dubbed version! There’s entire episodes of Cree Wapos Bay, (there’s an episode example in the bolded link), and just hearing words and listening to how they say it, the speed, seeing if you can pick up words etc will help, it gets you more familiarized. So, 1. Learn the Sound system, 2. download a language app in your dialect just to have a dictionary on hand, and 3. listen to people speak Cree. That should get you started at least!
