I love how in the Lego Movie universe Batman fumbled a transfem with dyed hair and great fashion who could easily kill him and he then got in a situationship with the fucking Joker
This becomes funnier if you (like I) conceptualize the Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie as taking place in the span of a week because it means that Batman witnessed the destruction of half of a dimension, saw the world almost become a frozen hellscape, helped take down a capitalist authoritarian, broke up with his girlfriend so she could date the most earnest yet lame person alive, took out his entire rogues gallery, broke up with the Joker, accidentally adopted a small child, went into a depressive episode, stole from Superman, got arrested, got broken up with by the Joker, went to bisexually lit space jail, teamed up with his entire rogues gallery, and got back together with the Joker in the span of a week
i just saw the tag “canon complicit” instead of “canon compliant” and im laughing its like “canon is a criminal act that i unfortunately support with this fic”
The Three Grades:
Canon Compliant: “This fic goes along with canon.” (Because I like it? Because I’m too tired to disagree by writing my own fic? Who knows? The author may or may not tell us.)
Canon Compatible: “Listen, I know it ISN’T canon, but think of it as Microsoft Office for Mac, it’s COMPATIBLE with canon, and that counts.”
Canon Complicit: “I have not died a hero, so I have become an accessory to the Villainy of Canon.”
Canon Compatible is a great term for when your fic is Probably Not What Tolkien Would Have Wanted but it doesn’t really contradict anything in canon either
Please please please please please put paragraph breaks between each new line of dialogue. I physically cannot get through your fic if it’s all in one giant paragraph. And use commas, PLEASE.
