Yes.

You can state things like, "Character A and Character B appeared in such and such an episode, had a conversation, and then fought with swords," but once you start inventing motivations and interior monologue to explain their actions you're going off-road.

[intrigueing]

I don't mind people inventing motivations and interior monologue to explain their actions at all. I love doing it and I love reading other people's takes, even (especially!) when no canon motivation or explanation is suggested. Just as long as it's clear that the person writing it *knows* it's speculation.

I think this is why my favorite meta is rarely "here is my argument and I will defend it" and I vastly prefer the "let me list a whole bunch of different factors at play and possible interpretations" style of meta. The former style works way better in fanfic than in meta.

[silverr]

Oh, I do the inventing thing too -- the more contradictory / retconned / inconsistent the canon the more challenging/fun it is to try to weave something that makes sense of it. ~

I also agree with you regarding meta: being able to mull over multiple takes is usually very enlightening.
