Friday DE: I recognize the council has made a decision...

[bjornwilde]

Is there some bit of canon or plot that you are ignoring as it is a stupid-assed decision?

Bonus question: I recently noticed my profile for a pup was woefully out of date and needed reworking. Post in with your pups and we'll review their profile and offer any suggestions we might have.

Most of Tess' comic canon. Brain merging and an AI? No, thank you.

Nothing for Kylo. Yet.

I'm mostly ignoring the Scorpio/Sikozu relationship, because ew.

Rose's canon series I'm bringing her in from is pretty short, so the only thing I'm not really taking into account is her dating a guy in his late 20s/early 30s.

Ahsoka Tano (jedi_interrupted ): I can't think of anything I am ignoring, although I am leaning towards giving her at least one romance post-CW and pre-SWR. I also mean to show her grief at Order 66 and Padme's death.

Sabine Wren (explosive_artist ): I am completely ignoring any hints of romance between Sabine and Ezra. Yes, Ezra has a blatant thing for her, in at least the first couple of seasons, but she has shown no interest. I am leaving them as more siblings than romances.

Sam Wilson (notapilot ): His wings were originally made by his niece and the new set is made by Jay. Stark doesn't have to make every neat toy in the MCU.

Ato Touji (doesitbotheryou ): Canon never shows him negotiating with his oni, they just bind it. I have a problem with the binding of anything that shows sentient awareness, and I don't care if the spirit is "evil". So I had Touji need to bargain or at least ask the spirit if it'd work with him.

Shinatose Izana (garde723 ): Canon decides they are female after their body shifts to present as more feminine. Since this completely erases an awesome nonbinary character, I am ignoring this. Izana will stay as a third gender, regardless of how they present. Later, another character changes gender to be with Izana, and yet that character never showed any signs of wanting to be that other gender, all to have a nice binary seeming romance. BLECK! Not happening. Not on my watch.

Danny Rand (touched_by_fire ): Oh man, so many problems with canon. I'm not ignoring, per se, but I am shifting the more problematic elements. Danny doesn't respect any one's boundaries, not just women. K'un Lun is a cross roads of many Asian cultures. And yes, he is suffering form PTSD and has anger issues, but will realize how much of an ass those things are making him and he will come around (although I need to wait until the end of present canon to do this).

Hank McCoy (no_more_hiding ) and Chance Falconer (leave_it_to ): I can't think of anything from canon I am ignoring.

I'm ignoring most of the video game side of Wilford's canon, but less because it's stupid and more because there's no cohesion to it (not that there's much on the live-action side, which probably gives an idea of how all over the place the games are). I'm kind of cherry picking little details from them as I need them, but the events themselves never took place, as far as I'm concerned. (Maybe. Jury's still out on the watermelon thing.)

I'm also largely ignoring the last couple of videos, even though one of them kind of confirmed an idea I've had for a while. The recent stuff has just gone above and beyond meta, and crashed straight through the fourth wall in a way I have no idea what to do with. Again, I'll probably keep some of the details that have come up, but there's nothing I can do with the actual content on the whole.

I think I've given this answer before, but I don't tend to get interested in canons that have chunks I think need ignoring. I think trying to incorporate all the weirdnesses and things that seem to be contradictions in a character is part of the fun! If that really can't be done because the writing is so fragmented/sloppy, it's probably not a canon I'll get attached to.

(Though it's worth noting that I don't read comics! Y'all are in a whole different world when it comes to this kind of stuff.)

[bjornwilde]

Comics are hard to deal with, as are any canons with more than one writer or team of writers playing in the sandbox. =)

[harryhotspur]

For sure!

I ignore the whole X being a teenage BDSM prostitute under the thumb of Zebra Daddy. Instead she's living on the street at the time, and other people she likes are under the thumb of Zebra Daddy, so she helps. (Joe Q, I hate you.)

Also X has aged a year for every year she's been in the bar, so she's 27 now, which also changes things, but the basic events I leave as-is.

Wonder Woman I pretty much stick to the framework of the DCU during volume 2, most particularly the stuff in Perez's run and Greg Rucka's. I take from vol 3 and further as it pleases me, but the bedrock of Wondy's universe is vol. 2.

That's . . . pretty much it in terms of ignoring things.

Days of Future Past is the one I have the biggest problem with and let's see, Charles asked Moira before making her forget and it wasn't everything. There's less time between the first two movies and I still don't like the serum though Charles' depression makes sense. Not all the other mutants die, that was too much and destroyed the little bit of diversity that had been there.

Moist and Spike don't marry but have a comfortable friends with benefits relationship. I kind of ignore a lot of Raising Steam, Moist is weirdly Vimeslike and doesn't read like himself in it.

Those are really my big ones. I mean there are it'd be nice if everyone didn't die in Rogue One but the dying makes sense and fandom is full of everyone lives fics. I've even wrote one that might get a sequel and AUs, oh the AUs where there's time to build that found family and give the ships time to be in love.

I'd love it if Jane and Tom ended up together but history says no and again fanfic is there to help.

The newest Old Kingdom actually made me really happy by how it gave more of Sameth and it seemed like Nix got a better handle on his character.

Most of what I do in terms of my RP and fanfic writing is filling in gaps and extending out, X-Men is really the only one where I go, no, those are stupid choices.

[no_more_hiding]

When we decide to take on Days of Future Past I think we should definitely go AU. Certain events need to be there, like the attempted assassination, but I think we can do a better job of what happens with the school, and the serum.

I also liek the idea of doing less of a time jump. Maybe 5-6 years?

I am ignoring the recent Swamp Thing-Batman team up. Tom King used an older approach to Alec than I do. And he doesn't get Batman at all.

Well, there is a bit of recent canon that I have been ignoring that implies that Amascut and Icthlarin aren't really the daughter and son of Tumeken and Elidinis. Rather, they are just "pets" - a cat and a dog that they elevated to demi-godhood, much like Tumeken raised Het, Crondis, Apmeken, and Scabaras to semi-godhood without Elidinis' participation. And supposedly that means that if Amascut gets her divinity taken away she reverts to being a cat?

(And in a slow, painfully embarrasing way reminiscent of dementia, if what happened to her brother is any indication) (don't worry, he got better, but not before being mocked for being a dog, and it wasn't even Amascut doing the mocking! I think she would have been to horrified that it might happen to her next. Or again D: )

But I dunno, I might change my opinions on that bit of canon based on what comes in the future. I mean, the idea that Het, Crondis, Apmeken, and Scabaras are pieces of Tumeken's ba (a bit like if they were horcruxes) is pretty neat and has all sorts of odd implications about Amascut, but it was attached to a bit of canon that makes her sound like major brat throwing a tantrum if she actually is Tumeken's daughter. We'll see if that bit of canon is fun enough to play with.

[death_gone_mad]

She's still a brat whether or not she is "adopted", but she's less of a brat if she is.

[childofrebellion]

I completely agree on all of this.

[notallofus]

In the first season of Rebels they really try to shoehorn Kanan in as the "leader" of the Ghost crew, even though it doesn't really make sense given that Hera's the ship's captain and she and Chopper were its original crew members, she's the one in contact with "Fulcrum," and... just in general if one of them were going to be said leader, Hera's just a better fit. The latter seasons seemed to recognize this and Hera has that role as much as it exists (the crew makes decisions as a group a lot of the time anyway, so, but when orders are being given Hera's the one doing it), but for us it was hard to make sense out of some things from the first season (and things like Kanan being "Specter-1" for instance - Hera was there first? It's her ship???). It seems like there was just an assumption of "male human Jedi = leader."

But granted, we didn't ignore it, just made up a non-canon reason for it.

Extremely belatedly: Until or unless we get a Padme, I am AUing one thing in Star Wars, which is basically the end of RotS:

1) Yeah, Palpatine and Vader assume Padme's dead.
2) OMFG no she doesn't lose the will to live and just expire like that, so done.
3) OTOH, she has some very non-trivial injuries, post-partum, PTSD, and oh yeah, lung damage from a frickin' volcano planet.
4) So she needs actual medical care. So pretty much she ends up quietly to everyone else posing as Leia's nanny, actually being there the first three or four years, before whatever disease/unfixable problem as a result of did I mention volcano planet kills her. This handily fixes the problem in RotJ of Leia thinking she remembers her mom, and I would 100% rather be faithful to that than the apocrypha.

Also, it doesn't stop the fake hologram from the funeral, and everyone still thinks she's dead, so it doesn't disturb the outside world. Just makes closer internal sense.

(Anakin will never actually know any different. He probably deserves that anyway.)

[bjornwilde]

Draws hearts all over this canon.

[bjornwilde]

I love how you guys have "fixed" this bit. I always watched and assumed that Kanan was field commander while Hera ran the team. Sort of like with Xavier and Scott, but with a clearer chain of command.
