War never changes but canon sure will!
“Fallout TV show retconned New Vegas-“
Stop. Listen to me. Look me in the eyes. “Canon” isn’t real. I’m completely serious. It’s whatever you want it to be. This franchise is rooted in games where you literally choose what ending you want based on your actions. Please, please for the love of god tell me that this whole time some of you have not been deciding that in games with multiple endings there is actually one “real” ending and all the others are “not canon.” If you really want my opinion half the fun of this whole series is that EVERY SEQUENCE OF EVENTS IS EQUALLY “VALID.” It’s time to kill the Todd Howard in your head and realize that literally no one is stopping you from choosing what to believe is part of this series. Incorporate every game, including the ones that never got made and only exist as details on the wiki. Or don’t. Decide that only the first two games and New Vegas are real and pretend 3 & 4 don’t exist. Create a new timeline in your head where EVERYTHING happens BUT Fallout 3 and yet Fallout 4 still fucking happens. Incorporate the fan theories you like and disregard the ones you don’t. Add your headcanons. Just MAKE SHIT UP. It doesn’t fucking matter! And that’s beautiful!!!! War never changes but goddamn canon sure will, but only if you believe!!
#WHAT A LINE LADY RAZIEL TOO TRUE#literally tho#like there has been this shift in fandom where more and more people are clinging to canon#and clinging to the word of the creators and authors for permission and credibility#stop stop stop!!! kill the todd howard in your head indeed!!!#like okay Sam Lake even said regarding the Alan Wake/Control Franchises#this is what I was thinking when I wrote it but this is my canon and you have yours#you may see things that I didnt when i wrote it#nothing i say is anymore canon than what you see#And the irony of quoting a creator's perspective on their work to encourage having your own perspective is not lost on me#but its a great lens to view creation in! please dont give a rat's ass about 'what is and is not canon'#its yours to decide! you have the power as fans of the content!
