I LOVE supplemental canon. Lore books, artbooks, world bibles, I eat that shit up like candy, and if I'm really into a particular canon, it's a given that I'm going to own all of the stuff like that that exists for it.

But nothing makes me angrier than when the creators drop some important character information in the supplemental canon rather than putting it in the canon itself. I shouldn't have to consume a separate piece of media to be able to have a full perspective on the characters or the world! Fun trivia is one thing, a fact that completely changes your understanding of a character is something very different.

If it matters, put it in the main canon! :(

I witnessed some kerfluffle recently where an artist announced an added bonus for a patreon smut BL fancomic. The issue was that the top/bottom dynamic (for this single bonus, mind, not the entire comic) was the opposite of what the comic was originally tagged as (so B/A instead of the tagged A/B). And several people completely LOST THEIR SHIT about it. And while I can understand that if it's on Patreon and you pay for it, it's not an ideal situation but damn, it's a BONUS chapter. You'll live.

And some comments went all "it's not just about who tops but the character dynamic/characterisation is suuuper different for A/B than B/A" and seriously? If the characterisation changes so drastically based on who takes it up the ass, that sounds like you REALLY need to examine some weird underlying prejudices you might be having.

The closest I've ever come to cosplaying is pretending to be Carrie Bradshaw every time I visit New York City

I fear that I'm beginning to find Vox/Vincent Whitman hot And I don't know how I feel about that

B!S: I blame the MurderMedia (human Vox/human Alastor) art

I know no one really cares about the droids, even less C-3PO. But I really like the comic that explains his red arm, And I wish we got to see more of that C-3PO.
He's normally only there for comedy, so it's understandable, but there was a genuine opportunity to have him have sort of a character growth, where without R2, he has to wise up and be more proactive.

Obsessiveness amnd enthusiasm do not equal Fandom.

But I'm happy you enjoy your fancy cup.

Nope. The characterization can be different.

This isn't real life, where it would be absolutely absurd to say that I can tell someone's bedroom habits just by meeting them. Fiction, if it's any good, has to abide by certain rules of narrative structure, continuous thematic elements, and characterization that we get to delve in deeper than any actual person we will ever meet. All of those things means that we do get insight into what their character is/will be like in the bedroom and if it doesn't flow with the narrative and the thematic elements, it's bad characterization.

No argument from me, OP. You're right and you should say it.

This all may be true of this particular unnamed ship, don't know what it is, can't say

Broadly implying every ship's characters and dynamics should or would remain exactly the same if flipflopped, or else you're some sort of bigot (?), is going too far in the other direction though. Characters, just like real people, can have explicitly stated preferences and aversions and interests and these ARE character traits

Of course that doesn't mean the character is incapable of physically doing something else, but the dynamic of someone doing something they're into, and doing something they're not into is very much not the same dynamic. Unless their preferences have magically changed

I agree! Important things should be in the mainline canon 100% of the time.

(Anonymous) 2026-02-10 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely this. The extras should be just that, extra. Not Half The Plot or The Stuff That Makes It All Make Sense.

What, do people have to write smutty fics about Stanley cups for it to count?

('Cause seriously, obsessiveness and enthusiasm is fandom's breath and bread.)
