will also say that i've been in fandoms on the other side of the "popular fanon characterization of ur fave is so ooc" frustration so it is always a struggle that has my sympathies, but 1) sometimes popular fandom opinion isn't wrong and 2) even if it is wrong, so what? people are still gonna have it. i can't control 'em. they can't control me. i made an easily blacklistable tag, i acknowledge it's my opinion (and when canon aligns with it, which i'm allowed to do), and it accordingly informs my interpretations - which may & can be & at this point just are fundamentally different than your own and have been for quite some time. my job is done. your annoyance is not my problem and your annoyance is not my fault
