People forget that the literal purpose of fandom is to explore a world and/or characters you love, beyond the limitations of canon. By trying to force fandom to be canon compliant, it literally destroys the point of fandom, to begin with.
And, also, can I mention that I have no clue where the line ends? Like, at what point does something go too far? Because I'm like 99% sure that the people who say this stuff exclusively do it to excuse harassment: like, these people supposedly care about canon compliance when you say "I ship [two characters, who are either not canonically together, not canonically possible, or both], and believe [character] is [queer/neurodivergent/etc.]", but when somebody goes "I made a coffee shop au, for a work that doesn't even have a singular coffee shop, in general, and in it, [character] mentions that their favorite food is [x], which isn't actually canon to the character" nobody gives a shit. Like, just say you hate the ship or headcanon and leave, please. You only care about canon compliance when you don't like what the other fan is doing.
i don't care if these characters have never interacted in canon. it's called fanfiction, not fanfact

You know, there was something almost magical about being an Undertale AU fan, in my opinion. Like, the Undertale AU fandom was, essentially, a highly informal SCP foundation or creepypasta-like fandom— it's, more than anything, a fan writing project. Its canon was literally whatever the fuck everybody collectively decided it was. It was fun to play around with, and see where it went. I mean, by nature of how "canon" was individually decided, the landscape was constantly changing and popular interpretation and tropes were often in flux.

I know this is meant to be emotional, with a side of funny, but my only thought is "Lmao, they both look so fucking shocked"
I had to draw this post by @barbaricjester because they need this hug

One of my favorite jokes to make is when I overhear something figurative, and jokingly take it literally... Except, the issue with that is that nobody fucking understands it. So, somebody will be like "It's raining cats and dogs" and I'll jokingly respond "Idk, I'm not seein' any dogs", and apparently I'm just fucking stupid for that.

I'm realizing that Stan is actually incredibly smart. Like in a Ford kind of way to some extent.
Like yes Stan's street smart and life smart but he's also got the smarts that Ford's praised for. Because he had rebuilt the portal and figured out his brother's notes and equations.
Like do you know how hard math is on Ford and Fiddleford's level of expertise??? How complicated and delicate it is????? Especially the kind that brings portals to life???? And Stan figured it out. Had taught himself to read and comprehend these difficult things. Difficult things that requires college degrees in science and mathematics.
And Stan did this on an incomplete high school grade level of academics.
That's fucking nuts. Sure it took 30 years but he learned it. By himself, can you imagine how frustrated he got, teaching himself Ford's educational level??? Using his mechanical skills of fixing his car to be up to par to Fiddleford's impressive craftsmanship????
And I can just see how Ford and Fiddleford react post apocalypse. Ford doing equations and science stuff and talking while Fiddleford listens and gives his input when Stan pipes up unintentionally and puts his hat into the ring. And it's mathematically sound?? And these two men are just blown away cuz what the actual hell?? Ford's immediately questioning Stan, wanting to hear his thoughts while Fiddleford watches impressed and Stan's mortified and a bit overwhelmed. Or Fiddleford working on something and Ford's watching him when Stan points out a better way to make a part work and Fidds is like omg thank you Stanley??? And Ford's looking at his little brother dumbfounded and itching to bomb him with questions and whatnot.
Stan never knows peace afterwards.

I wish there was more Danganronpa fics where the protagonist was murdered. Like... It just feels weird that there aren't more, especially considering the (both platonic or romantic) relationship angst that could originate from that! And I think it's the most natural progression once you take away the protagonist's plot armor: The class trials are usually lead by the same few people, who guide the others to the right answer. If your motive is to escape with your life, especially if it's late in the game and you get desperate, like Iruma did, it makes perfect sense to target the "class trial leaders", which includes the protagonist.
This is especially prominent in v3! The class trial is typically held up by both Ōma and Saihara. They're not the only ones, but they're certainly big players in the trials they take part in. Hell, even Shirogane fully relied on Saihara's deductions for the sixth trial! Because she didn't even know what was going on, as a result of the deactivated cameras! So, if your motive was purely to escape, it would make perfect sense to target Saihara. I know why they don't do it canon— They can't kill their second protagonist. I know why each of the canon characters didn't directly try murdering Saihara, with their own hands, (Akamatsu was after the mastermind, Tōjō went after convenience (and probably didn't even know Saihara would end up being such a major player, overall), Saihara wasn't even on Shingūji's murder radar, Iruma considered Ōma the bigger threat, and Gokuhara was guided by Ōma), but.. that doesn't mean you can't explore it in fanon!
Like.. think of the relationship angst! It doesn't matter if it's best friends, or lovers, or crushes, or queerplatonic partners! Like... Unless you're doing a complete canon rewrite, it's probably best for just a one shot, but it's still potential that I've never seen anybody even remotely try to execute! It's wasted potential!

All I'm seeing is... Dipper and Mabel, having been kidnapped, are now highly traumatized, being treated almost like cattle (if the symbols on the neck are anything to go by) and either dealing with crazed scientists or the occult, if not both. Meanwhile, the grunkles, who are big names in the criminal sphere, are kicking ass and taking names, in an attempt to find and save the twins. Maybe the twins were chosen specifically because of their ties with the grunkles, too. Especially if they were taken by a cult surrounding Bill.
Idk what au im cooking.. but Im cooking..

As somebody raised independently from religion... To the point I don't really know how any of it works... May I ask something?
What are the rules and limitations of holy water? Like... Hear me out.
Okay, so... Supposedly, depending on your sect of Christian, or any other religion that may have this concept, if a priest were to bless some water, it can be used for baptisms and, maybe even, protection against evil beings, right?
So... Following that line of thought, why can't a priest bless an entire lake? Or the ocean? If you're worried about demons, and saving people's souls, just bless as much water as we can! Then even the rain would be toxic to evil!
Or would that require more than just one priest? Which implies that there is a maximum volume of water a singular priest can bless, and, if so, what is that volume per priest? Or is it not volume-based, but 'radius around the priest'-based? Like.... There's a radius around the priest that they can bless, or the blessed water has to stay within this radius?
Is there a time limit? Is there a 'holy half-life'?Like... Does the 'blessing' work like a nuclear substance, where its holiness decreases over time? Is that why we can't just bless a lake and ocean, just to get holy rain?
Also, can priests bless ice or water vapor? It's just different forms of water, but I never hear anybody talking about holy ice! If a priest participates in a snowball fight, can he throw holy snowballs by blessing the snow? (That would actually be a pretty fun free video game idea. You play as a priest going around throwing holy snowballs at demons or people who didn't get baptisms. During boss fights, you can even get chunks of holy ice to chuck at demons, or use as an improvised blunt object. Maybe you could even add holy water balloons and, for boss fights, holy buckets of water!)
Also, if holy water is used during baptisms, and such, then can you force baptisms? Like... by throwing holy water balloons. Consent isn't really a factor to consider here, because babies or toddlers, or whatever, can't give consent, and, afaik, it's done on them, right? Which implies that you theoretically could. Or does it need to be a straight up bath, which makes it difficult to force a baptisms, and implies that there is a minimum amount of holy water that works for a baptism. Is that proportional to human size or weight? Again, if so, could you force a baptism by blessing a whole ass lake, so anybody who swims in it is unknowingly baptized?

Me, making food for myself: "Eh... It's fine. Sure the bottom is literally charcoal, but it's fine." (Feel slightly bad, but that's to be expected.)
Me, making food for other people: "Everything has to be perfect and I have no skill!" (Beating myself up because I accidentally made an egg roll while trying to flip an egg.)

Guard: "You're not authorized to be here."
Me: "Oh, don't worry. I'm actually related to the owner!"
