Re: "Fanon" that surprised you by turning out to actually be canon

[ibbity]

Putting mine here so as not to be a big wall o' text in the "head" comment.

I like Les Miserables. I haven't seen the show, or any of the screen adaptations, but I like the songs (I listen to both the original London cast recording and the original Broadway cast recording.) I liked the story behind the songs. Recently decided to see what the fandom was like, and discovered that everyone and their dog was quite convinced that Grantaire was extremely gay for Enjolras and possibly vice versa. I was like "lol shippers gonna ship" and didn't think anything of it.
Then I decided to go back and read the book again; had been a while and I didn't remember most of the details because it's approximately 100,000,000,000 pages long.

I'm in the habit of reading older books, and have a passing familiarity with the classics (as in, Greek/Roman philosophy, mythology etc) both because I'm a historian and because you kinda have to to get a lot of allusions/references in older books. So I'm quite conversant with 19th century literary conventions, including how they tended to handle sexuality. And yeah, there is HELLA subtext in Hugo's depiction of Enjolras and Grantaire. By the standards of the day, it's...not subtle. It's not a huge plot point, but it's kinda difficult to ignore, especially if you understand all the classical allusions (if the nod to Plato's Phaedrus was intentional, it's a very blatant one.) So I apologize to the Les Mis fandom for assuming that they were creating this ship out of thin air, but in my defense, this is to my knowledge the only time I've ever been wrong about "shippers gonna ship" versus "the slashiness is legitimately canon."
