Fandom is your playground and canon can be freely disregarded whenever you want.

I love using fictional characters to explore all kinds of things, gender and romance, and sexuality, and pain and torture and hate, and mental illness and all the blurry lines between all of those.

People in fandom who are ‘canon purists’ and only like to think about or talk about what they believe is actually in or will be in the narrative confuse me, and I feel like they’re limiting themselves.
