//We Have an Otabek!//

//In case you just missed my having Yuri respond to the intro post, there's a new Otabek in our RP - @oap-rp! Feel free to go and send them asks!

There are a few minor changes to my blog canon:

The polyamory thing never happened, and has been retconned.

The sexual assaut has also been retconned, and never happened.

Otabek never announced his retirement.

I have been removing mentions that I've seen of the first two in my blog, but my blog is several years old now, so that will be hard to do it, so please disregard any mentions you see of either of those things, please and thank you.

As for the third one, I have changed the news article involving last season's Worlds and the scores announcement post, and reblogged the updated versions.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.//

I’m just not sure you all realize how hilarious it all is. I see some people who don’t think it’s funny. How can you not think it’s funny? I don’t get it.

“John Romita's design illustrations for the 1953-1954 revival of Captain America featuring Cap, Bucky and the Red Skull”

So, this is the Cap that wasn’t Steve, who was a Capsicle at the time. Early retconning.

Have you ever retconned your OC's story or situation? What inspired this? Did you just fancy a change? Or were you bored with them as they were? Or did you regret your decisions on first creating them?

I'm racking my brain, but... I rarely retcon much of anything, even when it comes to situations involving other RPers who've hurt me. It's just too jarring for me to say that something I know happened...didn't happen, when I know it did, and I spent those hours RPing it, etc. I feel like the closest I have really come to retconning is with @vulpes-ferus - however, even that's not truly a 'retcon'. Originally, the character was a red-haired Viera who was from the First, and once upon a time had to make a deal with pixies, and so she was...essentially considered one of them. However! Someone was playing her sister, and A) Never once RPd with me, and B) Did some...deeply troubling RP on the sister character that I don't even feel comfortable talking about, but would affect my character as well (She would not have approved at all, it was vile). So ultimately I just washed my hands of the RP and the character and made her a different character with very similar themes around being a nature-magic-based-shapeshifting-trickster. So now she's a nogistune/yokai, rather than a true fae... and a fox-woman instead of a rabbit-woman, but has many similar themes.

Anyways, here's a couple shots of her when she was Aoibheal!

I grew up in the retcon mines of old science fiction you can not pay me to be pissed off about retconning. Oh did someone change a minute not all that important detail of a previous game/movie/tv show? Oh it ruined the whole franchise for you? You gonna cry about it? Should I get you a puffs plus with lotion?

…does this also mean that, in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, Leia saying stuff like "You're not a Jedi" is because Obi-Wan himself wasn't sure of that anymore? o.o (comment courtesy of @novelmonger)

lmaoooo i'm sorry this is just bananas… the absolute WORLD of difference between "you're short", "you smell", and "you escaped your childhood in chains only to sell your soul to the devil; now he lets others parade you around like the muzzled, inhuman thing you are" (comment courtesy of @celestialily)

.

#leia uses the force to insult people makes complete sense and greatly adds to the canon (tags courtesy of @aspiringwarriorlibrarian)

in light of Leia's Force-insight abilities, I propose that the reason Han was so offended by Leia calling him a 'scruffy-looking nerf-herder' was because this was her pulling directly on his own self-image issues and doubts

When I started to question my gender identity, I had to question everything. The entire story of me, which I'd been writing my whole life, now turned out to be severely flawed, or at least to have had an extremely unreliable narrator. And so my story was going to need some serious retconning.

Jokes about Biden now being legally allowed to drone strike Donald Trump are funny, but obviously such a blatant act of assassination would inspire retaliatory political violence and further destabilize the country. He should have Trump killed in secret, and make it look like an accident. That’s what the CIA is for!

What if she never wore the stupid tube top and borrowed pieces of clone armor instead.. I think that would be cool
