People who try to tell me things are ‘not that deep’ fundamentally misunderstand me, I am not a fish desperately in search of the ocean, I am a magpie that roves the canons, searching for shiny things to put in my nest. Whether or not it actually is given deep narrative weight by canon itself is of secondary importance to the fact that it has the potential to be interesting, and thus, I covet it.
“It’s not that deep”
Maybe not originally, but the ground is soft and I’m ready to dig.
“The ground is soft and I’m ready to dig” is the best description of the fanfic attitude I’ve ever seen.
