Ascended Fanon	comment	This is when Fanon is promoted to canonicity; whether it's officially shown in a canonical work is another matter, as it may "only" reach the status of Word of God. This happens when the creators see some theory brought up by a fan, usually something that the creators haven't thought heavily about or planned beforehand, but rather than Joss it into oblivion, see no harm in officially accepting it as part of the work. This is much more common in fanfiction and Webcomics, which often aren't planned from the start. Small doujin companies are also (in)famous for this sort of thing, as their characters are designed and occasionally modified accordingly to appeal to their fanbase. However, this sort of thing can get creators in trouble if the person who came up with the fanon accuses them of plagiarism — one of the reasons why many companies forbid people working for them from reading unsolicited fan-ideas and fanfiction. Compare with I Knew It! (when the fan explanation happens to match the one planned all along), Ascended Fancast (when a fancast actually gets the role), Ascended Meme (when this happens to memes), Word of Dante (the creators didn't confirm it, but some other perceived authority popularized it), Canon Immigrant (when elements of an officially licensed non-canonical source find their way into the official canonicity), Official Fan-Submitted Content, Approval of God (when a creator likes a fan work/theory but doesn't make it canonical). When it's built into the story, it's SchrÃ¶dinger's Gun. You could argue this is the creators' decision to Throw It In!. When it happens as a result of a mistake or error (mostly in video games) it's an Ascended Glitch, and in the case of a translational error that fans like, a Good Bad Translation. Contrast Jossed (when fan theories are explicitly debunked by Word of God or canonical events), Beam Me Up, Scotty! (when a phrase that's well-known was never uttered in the canon). Inverse of Shrug of God (when the creator(s) refuses to give a concrete answer) and Outdated by Canon (when a later element or explanation in canon outright contradicts the popular fanon of the time). When this happens between fictional characters, it's a Sure, Let's Go with That. If a particular work has a long and continuous run, fanon may be promoted to canonicity because a Promoted Fanboy is now calling all the shots. Ascended Fan Nickname is a Sub-Trope where a Fan Nickname becomes an In-Series Nickname. Ascended House Rules is a related gaming trope, for cases where a fan House Rule later becomes an official rule of the game.

Ascended Fanon / int_1015579b	comment	While The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo only had 11 of the 13 ghosts from the Chest of Demons recaptured in the series' run due to no ghosts being recaptured in the first episode and the ship captain from "Ship of Ghouls" not being explicitly identified as one of the 13 ghosts, it was common speculation among fans that the ship captain from "Ship of Ghouls" counted as a ghost from the Chest of Demons. Tim Sheridan, the writer of the direct-to-DVD film Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost, stated in a tweet that he counted 12 ghosts being recaptured with "Ship of Ghouls" included, which suggests that the ship captain being one of the 13 ghosts is now canonical.

Ascended Fanon / int_10768369	comment	Sins Past reveals that at some point, Gwen Stacy slept with Norman Osborn, without revealing when or why. Fandom VIP J.R. "Madgoblin" Fettinger pored through his back issues and came up with his own theory: after Osborn had saved her father from the Kingpin, and when she was currently on the outs with Peter, maybe she had gone to thank him, and one thing led to another. After posting this theory on on his website, some of Marvel's writers found it and decided that it worked, so they canonized it.

Ascended Fanon / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: A viewer's Fan Art character, Me-Mow the tiny cat assassin, was introduced to the Land of Ooo in her own self-titled episode. Being the two oldest characters in the show, it was a fanon idea that Marceline and the Ice King had known each other in the past. Cue "I Remember You" where it's revealed they knew each other more than anyone guessed. The story was continued in "Simon and Marcy". Ever since "What Was Missing" the idea that Marceline and Bubblegum used to date swiftly became a fixture in the fandom. After years of the staff refusing to comment, Olivia Olsen, Marceline's voice actress, confirmed that this was the case. Not QUITE canonical, but Word of Saint Paul anyway. As of the finale, them being a couple has been officially canonized.

When his questioner asked if it meant that those characters were gay, he basically said "sure, why not" — he had never actually come up with a reason for it.

However, in adapting a purely audio medium as a graphic novel, the artist took many, many cues for their designs from those popular depictions, creating designs that practically mirrored them.

Ascended Fanon / int_1331990c	comment	Despite Puella Magi Madoka Magica only having the witch Charlotte appear for one episode as a Monster of the Week, onscreen for perhaps a minute tops to kill a main character before being killed herself, she is hugely popular in the fandom. She's often depicted in fanart alongside Mami Tomoe, the one she killed, and acted as a sort of Team Pet in many cases. The writers apparently took heed: cue Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion, and Charlotte, or Bebe as she was called in-movie, filled just that role. We even got to learn what she looked like before she witched out, too. It also looked at another popular thing that people take as fanon: Madoka and Homura reuniting, namely with Madoka returning to the real world. However, the writers showed just how horrifying that concept can become when the person in charge of the reuniting was so heartbroken with the former's absence in the first place that they'll ensure they will never leave again.

Ascended Fanon / int_13349140	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): Characters Dr. Starline, Surge the Tenrec, and Kit the Fennec are loosely based on glitched character palettes from the Genesis and 32X games that fans often treat as O.C. Stand-Ins—respectively, "Wechnia" from Knuckles Chaotix, "Ashura" from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and a blue Knuckles (that the game considers to be Tails) from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. One comic features a small brick house as a background detail that bears a strong resemblance to one from the fan game Sonic Robo Blast 2. This may very well have been intentional, as Aaron Hammerstrom, one of that issue's artists, had previously been active in the fan game's community. Sonic calling Amy "Ames" was a common Fanon, the comic makes it official.

Ascended Fanon / int_17fa5f0a	comment	Near the end of Deathly Hallows, a singing Peeves uses the name "Voldy" to refer to Voldemort. The fandom invented this dismissive name: Rowling said on her official site that she "thought it was very amusing when [she] found a chat room full of people calling him 'Voldy'." Examples of other terms that originated in fandom discussions, later to be adopted by Rowling herself and used in the last two books, include DADA (for Defense against the Dark Arts), the Trio (for Harry, Ron and Hermione) and the Marauders (for Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter; note that although their Marauder's Map is introduced by Rowling in Book Three, they were first collectively called "the Marauders" by the fans).

Ascended Fanon / int_18dab895	comment	In June 2020, a Disney Tsum Tsum-based (and released) side story of Lilo & Stitch spin-off manga Stitch & the Samurai finally established Leroy from Leroy & Stitch as being Experiment 629. In his original appearance, Leroy was only given a name, not a number. Disney tried to designate him as Experiment 628 in some Japanese and Disneyland Paris merchandise, but most fans did not accept this because the pod of an Experiment 628 appeared in Lilo & Stitch: The Series, while Leroy was newly created in his debut. As a result, fans established him as Experiment 629 instead for years before Stitch & the Samurai came along, including on fan wikis.

Ascended Fanon / int_1d45e6aa	comment	Gaia Online introduced a pair of Rich Bitch twins named the Von Helson Sisters to serve as rivals for the resident Megalomaniac during a storyline in 2005. Fans speculated that since the name "Von Helson" sounded a lot like "Van Helsing", coupled with the fact that the twins had an apparently dead father named Vladmir, about half the website jumped to the conclusion that they were actually Vampires. In 2007, Gaia rolled with this and used it both as an opportunity to fill in numerous plot holes, and a chance to play off the predominately female fanbase's Twilight obsession. (The massive Vampire Stake Fest that followed more than made up for that, though.)

This is followed by how The Path to Heaven is missing from Dio's diary, ultimately revealing it's because of Made In Heaven's collapse, and Pucci no longer exists. This is one interpretation of Stone Ocean's Reset Button Ending, since what happened to the rest of the cast was left unclear in the manga. The anime would then provide some clarity that adds up with this interpretation in its final credits sequence, which the fanfic predates by 5 years.

Subsequently, Agents not only establishes that he's alive, he's the lead character of the series, and ABC even borrowed the fandom's "#CoulsonLives" slogan as part of their advertising campaign. The film itself arguably laid the groundwork for the character's survival, however, so how much was planned in advance and how much is this trope is open to some debate. Before Season 2, a lot of comic fans have written fanfics that included the comic book character Mockingbird, often depicting her as good friends with Coulson. Once she appeared, everything checked out.

Ascended Fanon / int_27fa3723	comment	Be More Chill: In the initial Two River production in 2015, Michael's sexuality is left ambiguous. Because of that as well as the lack of a Two River bootleg allowing for more room for interpretation, many fans at the time headcanoned Michael as being gay, and often portrayed him as wearing an LGBT flag patch on his jacket. The LGBT flag patch was made official in the 2018 Off-Broadway run and the story hints more at him being gay now. Official productions from here on keep this, making it canonical. Fans came to the consensus that Rich used to have a lisp before his Squip made him work past it. This never received any nod in the Off-Broadway run, but it became canonical once it moved to Broadway - at the end of the show, once the Squip is gone forever, he has a lisp again.

Ascended Fanon / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: Fans of the show took the show-wide colour-theme-naming and ran with it to produce shipping names based on each character's theme colour. In Volume 2, Ruby introduces tag-team combination attack moves, listing each pair involved in the relevant tactic by their shipping name, including Bumblebee (Yang (Yellow) and Blake (Black)) and Freezerburn (Weiss (white and uses Ice Powers) and Yang (Yellow and is associated with fire)). In Volume 3, Jaune unsuccessfully attempts to convince his team to use combination attacks that are also named after fandom pairing names, such as Arcos (Jaune and Pyrrha's surnames (Arc + "os" from Nikos)) and Flower Power (Ren, whose symbol is a flower, and Nora, who is based on Thor and therefore is the show's power-house fighter)). Volume 3 ends with Ruby, Jaune, Ren and Nora joining forces to travel across the continent of Anima together, searching for answers to who the villains are and what their plans are. In Huntsman Academies, students work and graduate together as a team of four, with a colour-themed team name that is bestowed by the headmaster. As the four students came from two different teams, the fandom debated what new team name they should have for the future Volume 4 and settled on two possible options, with associated pros and cons: Team JNRR (Junior) or Team RNJR (Ranger). The creators were already calling them Team RNJR during production, but they acknowledged the fandom debate in the first episode of Volume 4, which opened to Ren, Nora and Jaune arguing about whether to call themselves Team JNRR or RNJR. Team JNRR initially wins due to Nora and Jaune favouring it, until Jaune decides it doesn't work when spoken aloud, making Team RNJR the default. At the end of Volume 5, Ruby officially calls them Team RNJR. A Reddit Q&A held after the end of Volume 5 included a question about whether or not Qrow's weapon had a name. The creators admitted that the weapon didn't have a name until they spotted the fanon name "Harbinger"; they liked it enough to adopt it as the weapon's official name. Although the fanon name gained popularity due to crows being considered harbingers of misfortune and death, the creators only stated they adopted the name because they liked it.

Ascended Fanon / int_3717ea4a	comment	DC Animated Universe: The parody "Jingle bells, Batman smells" has been circulating since the 1970s. In 1992, the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Christmas With the Joker" had (who else?) The Joker singing the parody. And in Justice League, when the founding members (except Batman) agreed to be arrested because of an accident involving a giant laser, one of the officers asks where Batman is. The Flash says "Running late. The Batmobile, it lost a wheel. The Joker got away. That's what I heard." Also in Justice League, the entire flirting between Batman and Wonder Woman came because of a scene in Gorilla Grodd's introduction episode, in which Batman, believing Wonder Woman was crushed by rubble, started digging with his hands. After escaping by herself, she saw Batman's hands covered in dirt and gave him a gratitude kiss in the cheek. Batman blushed at this, and fans believed there was something between them. While it was not the case at the time, the writers liked the idea and put it into the show.

This is one of the mysteries of Eberron that the creator has said will never be given a canonical answer because it is meant to be left to the DM to decide what the truth is. However, possibly as a reference to this theory, the book Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft confirms that a small part of Cyre really was taken into the Ravenloft setting on the Day of Mourning.

Ascended Fanon / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Some of the Super Saiyan forms and names of the villains were fan nicknames. Perhaps most obvious was "Super Saiyan Blue" from Resurrection 'F', which is officially termed "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan." Fans decided that was too much of a mouthful. Later in Dragon Ball Super, Goku acknowledges the name length and "Super Saiyan Blue" is used officially from then on (though most official merchandise and video games still designate the form as SSGSS as opposed to SSB). Fanfiction gives Vegeta enough long-lost siblings to populate a galaxy (and then some). The 2008 special went ahead and ran with that premise, but Jossed all of the usual traits associated with them (with Tarble being a weakling instead of a Copycat Sue). From fan parody Dragon Ball Z Abridged to Dragon Ball Z Kai: Nappa hates the media. Freeza's race are widely known as "Frost Demons" among the fandom, due to the fact that all of the members seen have names related to cold temperatures. In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Cell refers to them using this name. From Dragon Ball Super's English dub, the Top God Zeno is referred to as "The Omni-King", a term first used by fansubbers as a rough translation of the title "Zen'O" (literally, "All-King"). Fans had long speculated that the reason Goten and Trunks were able to become Super Saiyans at such a young age was because their fathers had already achieved the transformation by the time the two were conceived. Akira Toriyama later declared in an interview that this is indeed the case, saying that there are "S-Cells" in a Saiyan's body that multiply greatly once a Saiyan has achieved Super Saiyan, and this gets passed on to their children. The more S-Cells a Saiyan has, the easier it is for them to make the jump to Super Saiyan. The color of Broly's hair and Battle Aura in his Legendary Super Saiyan form appears to be a case of this. The green tint seen is suggested to be a side effect of the slave crown Paragus placed on Broly in order to keep him in line, which was also seen with how his regular Super Saiyan form has blue/purple-tinted hair. Notably, Broly has the usual golden glow and hair near the end of The Legendary Super Saiyan and throughout the entirety of Second Coming. However, since most of Broly's subsequent appearances in Dragon Ball media used his original design, fans came to associate the green hair and aura with Broly's unique Super Saiyan transformation. Various What If? transformations in other media (such as Super Saiyan 3 Broly in Raging Blast), his Alternate Universe Distaff Counterpart Kale in Super, and Broly's own reintroduction to the series would all follow suit, with the latter having Broly first turn into a regular Super Saiyan but then gain the "usual" traits after powering up further. It should be noted, however, that both versions of Broly do possess naturally green ki, and Super's reimagining of the character has a Great Ape-based "Wrathful" form that also features a green Battle Aura.

Ascended Fanon / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: After The Film of the Book made "I shouldn't 'ave said that!" into Hagrid's catchphrase, it became one in the books as well. When it was brought to Rowling's attention that Marcus Flint seemed to have repeated a year, her response was "Either I made a mistake or he failed his exams and repeated a year. I think I prefer Marcus making the mistake."note Later editions of Philosopher's Stone fixed the error by identifying him as a fifth-year instead of a sixth-year. Near the end of Deathly Hallows, a singing Peeves uses the name "Voldy" to refer to Voldemort. The fandom invented this dismissive name: Rowling said on her official site that she "thought it was very amusing when [she] found a chat room full of people calling him 'Voldy'." Examples of other terms that originated in fandom discussions, later to be adopted by Rowling herself and used in the last two books, include DADA (for Defense against the Dark Arts), the Trio (for Harry, Ron and Hermione) and the Marauders (for Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter; note that although their Marauder's Map is introduced by Rowling in Book Three, they were first collectively called "the Marauders" by the fans). Lupin's facial scars, which are never described in the books, appeared in fanart before his appearance in the third movie.

She even made occasional appearances at her grave site and the Mode offices as part of a scheme to drive Bradford Meade insane and/or land him in jail. Thanks to rampant fan speculation, "The Masked Woman" was instead revealed to be Alexis Meade, presumed-dead son of Bradford and Claire, who faked his death and underwent a sex change after Bradford disowned him for wanting to be a woman. She came back to rub it in. To a lesser extent, Daniel's realization of his romantic feelings toward Betty in the series finale was a Shrug of God to very vocal shippers who had boycotted the show after creator Silvio Horta declared that Daniel and Betty would never be paired as a couple.

Ascended Fanon / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers: The tendency of the fandom to refer to the Power Coins by their totem animal rather than their color has absolutely no basis in the series itself, and its earliest known use was in the fanfics of Fandom VIP Joe Rovang. However, as this caused a great deal of confusion when discussing different sets of coins with the same color, his precedent was followed above the show's. This is particularly apparent when Disney's official site for PR used "Dragon Coin" for the Green Ranger's Power Coin, as Rov did, rather than "Dragonzord Coin" as the morphing call used in every episode featuring the Green Ranger would imply. As it only originated in obscure production documents from Saban Entertainment, Billy's surname of "Cranston" was known mostly by fans. When Disney later culled the knowledge of these fans to construct their official site, they just ran with it. This also led to the Ascended Fanon status of Jen and Katie's surnames from Power Rangers Time Force. In Power Rangers S.P.D., among the A-Squad members, only Charlie was actually named, so the fans made up names for the other four and the creators agreed, even though the names themselves were never mentioned on-screen. The evil-negating energy released by Zordon's sacrifice at the end of In Space was dubbed by fans "the Z-Wave". It wasn't until the 30th anniversary special Once and Always that it was referred to as such in canon.

Ascended Fanon / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: The MS Paint Adventures comics prior to Homestuck ran on user inputs, so the heavy influence of fan suggestions is a natural extension of that. Examples include: "Mutie", a Fan Nickname given to the mutant kitten Rose found, became the actual nickname that Rose later gave it (short for "Vodka Mutini".) Most of Grandpa Harley's collections, the Peregrine Mendicant's gender, Lord English being an Ultima Shout-Out and Dave being a redhead (the characters are drawn with black-and-white heads, even though their backgrounds and outfits are in color) were all fandom ideas originally. Hussie changed his mind on that last one, having said that logically Dave and Rose should have the same hair color. Since most fans don't agree with Rose being a redhead, they eventually mostly decided on either blonde or just blank white hair. Sometimes Dave gets strawberry blonde hair as a compromise. The name of Tavros's Lusus was confirmed to be "Tinkerbull", the Fan Nickname it had had all along, and the species of Karkat's Lusus in the post-Scratch universe is referred to as "crabdad", another Fan Nickname. The canonization of Gamzee having red feelings for Tavros, a Ho Yay Fan-Preferred Couple based on a single interaction. note Admittedly, that interaction was Gamzee suggesting to Tavros that they make out, but still... After the mysterious villain Lord English was finally revealed, someone made fanart of him in the style of a classic monster movie poster. Then Jake English was introduced, and the walls of his room were completely covered in movie posters—and that Lord English fanart was one of the posters. On his tumblr, Andrew Hussie (facetiously, we hope) declared that all fantrolls, ever, are now canonical. Many of the Dancestors are parodies of how the original trolls are written in fanfiction. On this post in the forum, Hussie suggested that the Troll Empress could have survived the Vast Glub. The very next post in response? "In before she's recruited by Lord English as well." About a year later, that's exactly what happened. It's even funnier when a later post on that page discusses this trope. While Hussie is very fond of taking interesting fan theories and canonizing them, he is still a Trolling Creator, and just because a theory becomes canonical that doesn't mean it's going to happen in a way anyone expects. Case in point: UU. By Act 6 Act 3, the theory that she wasn't actually a troll but just someone cosplaying was quite widespread, and no one was too surprised when it became canonical. What was surprising was the fact that she was revealed to not be a human, either, but a completely different species that was not revealed until that update. Well played, Hussie. The many sprites in the Ministrife were drawn by a fan with apparently pretty broad discretion, and so they included a number of nods to the fandom, particularly the canonization of the popular fanon that, under his helmet, Mituna has dandelion hair — thick, Messy Hair that covers his eyes. The popular fan adventure Promstuck contains a gag where Vriska shows John a spiral notebook containing her drawings, which she has Blingeed. John wonders how she was able to Blingee a spiral notebook. Much later on, in Homestuck, there is a scene where the Condesce gives Roxy a binder which is covered with gaudy animated gifs (some of them of the ICP), and Roxy wonders how she was 'able to get the clowns to dance'. One page of the comic showed Karkat drawn at a very low resolution in such a way that made it look to some like he was wearing a pair of pants that went all the way up to his chest. People thought that was hilarious and began drawing him in that same way. Flash forward to when we learn about Karkat's ancestor, who is described as wearing "Righteous Leggings." Another troll says that she made his pre-scratch dancestor Kankri a red sweater because she couldn't bare to look at his ridiculous pants any longer. One of the early oddities of the fandom was a popular joke going around that Shrek was Eridan's father. There was fan art of it everywhere. Eventually the fandom moved on to newer memes and completely forgot about it. Years later, in one of the most important flashes in the entire comic, at around the 10:58 mark, you can see a doomed Eridan riding on the shoulders of his loving lusus Shrek, eating cotton candy. This is also the only time Eridan smiles in canonicity. At one point early in Act 6, Jane is shown to be in possession of a Detective Pony book which her friend Dirk has humorously defaced, with only a couple pages shown to the reader. One enterprising fan took it upon themselves to write a full version of the story, which gained a substantial following and many imitators, in particular the signature "meme rant". Years later, the comic's official follow-up, Homestuck: Beyond Canon would officially make this version of the story canonical, with Terezi even directly quoting the iconic line "Remember Longcat, Jane?"

Obviously, he can't marry them both (though Dolph doesn't understand why not), and to make matters worse, Dolph is enamored of Nada and lukewarm towards Elektra, while Nada is indifferent to him but Elektra loves him with all her heart. Piers Anthony's originally planned resolution, which Magician Grey Murphy gives them as the official 'solution' to their problem, is that Dolph must marry Electra, divorce her the next day, and marry Nada (using various love potions to make things easier). However, a reader spotted a loophole in the prophecy — to "marry" someone can also mean to perform their wedding ceremony. After reading this fan's letter, Piers Anthony quickly rewrote the ending, and Dolph and Electra get to remain Happily Married. It would be remiss to mention Xanth Fanon and not mention the puns, which are a form of Ascended Fanon all of their own. Early in the series, a few puns worked their way into the stories. A few young readers sent in pun suggestions, which Piers Anthony included in the next novel in the series and mentioned the readers by name in the author notes. Now Xanth is known for being full of these puns, which have directly and completely shaped the world, taking it from a rather static fantasy world to something decidedly more, and Piers Anthony is now known for his ungodly huge (chapter-sized) author notes thanking every single reader for every single pun he uses. To the point where he has spent the last several books asking his readers to ease off. He's repeatedly said the books would be much easier to write if the readers stopped trying to help him.

The hipster vampire siblings got their too-obscure-to-pronounce names by popular consensus, and their insulting nicknames Ezra and Koenig from the least popular (and therefore most fashionable) suggestion.

Ascended Fanon / int_5db577ba	comment	The Dark Knight doesn't reveal The Joker's true origin, but that hasn't stopped fans from trying to Wild Mass Guess it. The most popular one is that he was formerly a soldier before turning to crime, which would explain his proficiency with military-grade weapons (most notably a rocket launcher) and his targeting of government bureacrats like Harvey Dent. This theory was mentioned in The Dark Night Manual, a promotional book released to promote The Dark Knight Rises, as a possible origin for the Joker.

Ascended Fanon / int_5fe76d21	comment	Venom: The five Life Foundation symbiotes that appeared in the various Venom miniseries in the '90s were never actually given names in the comics. Most were referred to simply by their host names while one, Donna Diego, was simply called the Female Symbiote. The Female Symbiote and another one got the names Scream and Lasher for a toy line while another symbiote in the line (though not from the comics) was called Riot; the other two had no names but were referred to by fans as Agony and Phage. Scream became canonical during a handbook released around the time of the Back in Black storyline in the mid-2000s while it wouldn't be until 2011's Carnage USA miniseries that officially gave the fan names to the other ones as well. When Flash Thompson gained a hold of the Venom symbiote, the fact that he was acting in a spy-like manner and a soldier would lead fans to call him "Agent Venom". When Flash joined the Secret Avengers, the name became canonical.

Ascended Fanon / int_64dd58b2	comment	Harry Potter: Because Lavender Brown was never given a proper description in the books, the fandom eventually decided that she was a blonde, buxom girl who was also a bit of a ditz—despite the fact that two different black actresses had played her prior to the Half-Blood Prince. The producers eventually cast Jessie Cave, who is blonde, buxom, and plays the character as ditzy as she possibly can. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has the Fan-Preferred Couple Neville/Luna get together. There is no romance between them in the books and Word of God says that they marry Hannah Abbot and Rolf Scamander, respectively. (According to Neville's actor, Matthew Lewis, although Neville and Luna do end up together, it's ultimately a fling and the two go on to marry their canonical partners, thus maintaining consistency with the books.) Using the mind-wiping spell "Obliviate" as a verb is really common in fan works. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, several characters use it as a verb.

Ascended Fanon / int_6ef778a2	comment	The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: Countless fanfiction stories from the 2010s (The End of the World, The Victors Project, Johanna Mason: They Will Never See Me Cry, We Must Be Killers, Cheating Death: Those That Lived, Checkmate (Anla'Shok), etc.) imagine that the mentors for the Hunger Games gather together in an official building to watch the Games and mingle with each other, even though it is never said in the original trilogy. This story has the mentors watching the Games together and working out of the same building. While the original trilogy never actually says when 1, 2, and 4 became Career districts, many fanfiction stories assume that they produced some of the first victors and either were Careers from the start or had a leg up at becoming Careers. This story mentions that 1 and 2 tend to have an advantage even at this early point in the Games, and the District 4 tributes in this story are part of a proto-Career alliance. Multiple fanfiction stories went with the idea that the Hunger Games originally had one low-tech arena that was used for the first several Games, and that is the case here. In the vast majority of The Hunger Games fanfics before this book, District 12's first victor was never around long enough to mentor Haymitch in the 3rd Quarter Quell, and Lucy flees into the wilderness within a year of her victory in this story as well.

Ascended Fanon / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: Jack O'Neill and Samantha Carter were originally not intended to have romantic feelings for each other. Only when the fans began the Jack/Sam ship did the show writers realize that, indeed, the chemistry was there, and began working this into their story. Whether or not it was actually to the benefit of said story, though, is another question. The well-known, but largely insignificant, character of Walter Heriman got his name through a combination of this and Throw It In!. He originally had no name at all in the script and was never addressed by name on screen, but in an early episode when General Hammond referred to him as "Airman" (a member of the Air Force) fans misheard it as Heriman and took it to be his last name, the writers caught on and it soon became official. His first name came courtesy of Richard Dean Anderson throwing it in as an ad-lib in the middle of a shoot, someone on the set said "uh, that's not his name" to which Anderson replied "it is now" and so it came to be. Was there any Radar O'Reilly connection? There was a strong vibe there... (It's also unclear from canonicity if his first or last name should be Walter, since you'd expect a General not to call a very junior aide by his given name.)

Ascended Fanon / int_70da6e51	comment	In the Goosebumps "Night of the Living Dummy" sub-series, Slappy the Demonic Dummy is brought to life by reciting the incantation "Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molonu Karrano." In the TV series adaptation of the book "Night of the Living Dummy II" (aired in 1996), Slappy taunts the protagonist by telling her, "You read the magic words. Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molonu Karrano. You and I are one now." There's nothing in context indicating the last sentence was meant to be an English translation of the preceding one, and no episode, book, Word of God, etc. ever confirmed it was supposed to be, but whether due to a sincere misreading of the line or an intentional Sure, Let's Go with That, the fandom decided that the incantation literally means "You and I are one now" in a fictional language. The first official material ever to state the incantation means "You and I are one now" was a promotional booklet released for the film adaptation in 2015 (where Slappy says it to the reader).

Ascended Fanon / int_7ab10627	comment	The Klingons' gaining forehead ridges between the original series and the movies and later series has long been a subject of fan speculation. In a question and answer session at a Star Trek convention just after Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released, James Doohan (Scotty) joked that the ridges were from all the tribbles he beamed to the Klingon ship in The Trouble with Tribbles. In the Deep Space 9 Time Travel episode "Trials and Tribble-Ations", two popular fan theories, including the tribble theory, are brought up by two non-Klingon characters, but are told by Worf that Klingons don't discuss the situation with outsiders. Odo seems to accept the tribble theory, joking about the great tribble hunt.. Eventually, the prequel series Enterprise, which had ridged Klingons, had to tackle not just the "how'd Klingons get ridges?" question, but "how'd Klingons lose their ridges and then get them back?" A multi-part episode shows it happening in a way that actually incorporates both theories. Another Fanon theory, which hasn't been endorsed by the powers that be yet, is that they underwent cosmetic surgery in between TOS and DS9. The real reason, which is not hidden, was the low budget of the original series, which was not intended to be so big. They seemed to have shot themselves in the foot by having Kor, Kang, and Koloth from the original series show up in Deep Space Nine as modern Klingons but the novel "Rules of Engagement" explained that away: the genetic engineering had been reversed. That and the in-series canon explains why the Enterprise Klingons do not look more like the TOS Klingons. This is probably why the deleted scenes from the Star Trek (2009) film show Klingons on Rura Penthe wearing masks. However, ridged Klingons do appear onscreen in Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but smooth-faced ones don't, so the whole thing has basically become a Continuity Snarl at this point.

Ascended Fanon / int_7de8951a	comment	Traveller has, through its multi-decade run, collected a wide variety of officially published interesting places to visit, distributed over a span of space that takes years to cross even with the fastest ships in the setting. Travellermap started as an unofficial compilation of all these places. As of Mongoose Publishing's second edition, specifically the Great Rift books, this is not only canonical, but a thing that actually exists in-universe: a "widely distributed" "astronavigational database" written for travellers (read: for Player Characters) by the Travellers' Aid Society. The (less canonical) edges of the map are still being explored, so naturally they are updated over time. All discrepancies are explained: scientific anomalies (especially in areas with no habitable planets) are left off because that is not the target audience for the map, military secrets are not available to the mappers, conflicts with prior published charts are things the mappers are no longer sure were there in the first place, and so on.

Decide for yourself whether this was simply the most obvious fix, or whether the legion of forum threads and fix-it fanfics using this exact scenario during the intervening years of her death inspired DC. There was a lot of controversy and in-fighting (some of it racial in nature) in the Batgirl fandom when Cassandra Cain (an Asian-American) was replaced by Stephanie Brown (a white blonde), and again when Steph was replaced herself when the original Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, returned. A common compromise in fan works was to feature all three Batgirls in a sort of "Batgirl Inc." or "Team Batgirl" grouping, and DC eventually instituted a similar idea with the League of Batgirls in the Future's End tie-in to Gail Simone's Batgirl (2011) run. The idea finally became canon in current continuity in the 2022 Batgirls series, which stars all three.

Ascended Fanon / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: The Klingons' gaining forehead ridges between the original series and the movies and later series has long been a subject of fan speculation. In a question and answer session at a Star Trek convention just after Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released, James Doohan (Scotty) joked that the ridges were from all the tribbles he beamed to the Klingon ship in The Trouble with Tribbles. In the Deep Space 9 Time Travel episode "Trials and Tribble-Ations", two popular fan theories, including the tribble theory, are brought up by two non-Klingon characters, but are told by Worf that Klingons don't discuss the situation with outsiders. Odo seems to accept the tribble theory, joking about the great tribble hunt.. Eventually, the prequel series Enterprise, which had ridged Klingons, had to tackle not just the "how'd Klingons get ridges?" question, but "how'd Klingons lose their ridges and then get them back?" A multi-part episode shows it happening in a way that actually incorporates both theories. Another Fanon theory, which hasn't been endorsed by the powers that be yet, is that they underwent cosmetic surgery in between TOS and DS9. The real reason, which is not hidden, was the low budget of the original series, which was not intended to be so big. They seemed to have shot themselves in the foot by having Kor, Kang, and Koloth from the original series show up in Deep Space Nine as modern Klingons but the novel "Rules of Engagement" explained that away: the genetic engineering had been reversed. That and the in-series canon explains why the Enterprise Klingons do not look more like the TOS Klingons. This is probably why the deleted scenes from the Star Trek (2009) film show Klingons on Rura Penthe wearing masks. However, ridged Klingons do appear onscreen in Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but smooth-faced ones don't, so the whole thing has basically become a Continuity Snarl at this point. "Future Guy"'s name in Star Trek: Enterprise came from fans on the internet, and eventually the producers of Enterprise used it as the character's actual name in the script. In the pilot episode of Star Trek: Picard, a Betazoid logo created by a fan for the 2007 fan-work called "Birth of the Federation 2" showed up on a Betazoid trophy in Picard's storage, thus becoming canonical. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: "Strange New Worlds": Spock and T'Pring confirm something that the Expanded Universe and fanon have gone back-and-forth on for quite a while: Vulcans are still perfectly capable of having sex even when not in pon farr (based on official dates, Spock is likely scheduled for his next cycle sometime in season 3). "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow": While Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home established that Kirk was from Iowa, it didn't give an exact birthplace. The city of Riverside declared itself as such (with approval from Gene Roddenberry himself), but this episode is when it's officially confirmed. The idea that the conflicting dates of various Star Trek historical events, like the Eugenics Wars, aren't just Series Continuity Errors but were caused by time travelers screwing things up has been around in fanon for many years before this episode.

To make up for that Morrison makes them both materialize out of thin air and attack Animal Man, while he is thanking everybody he worked with on the series. He also mentioned that Buddy is what writers wants him to be, so if they'll decide to make him eat meat, he will. Next writer on the series decided to play with that and wrote a story where Buddy copies the abilities of a lion, is overcome by its instincts and tries to eat a gazelle.

Ascended Fanon / int_885e1bec	comment	Several small aspects of the Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality revised canon were proposed by posters to the author's blog; for instance, the distribution of Stable Time Loop-inducing Time Machines to students in order to deal with their class schedules is, canonically, due to wizards looking at the hard problem of writing a conflict-minimizing schedule given classes and requesting students and brute-forcing it with magic. Yudkowsky establishes early on that wizarding math basically stops at trigonometry. Presumably, you have a lot less incentive to learning how to work within the laws of the causality when you can just ignore them.

But fans, being fans, latched on to this character (played by Bret MacKenzie of Flight of the Conchords fame) and formed stories and relationships around him, bestowing upon him the name "Figwit" (an acronym for "Frodo is great... who is that?!"). So big was his fanbase that he was brought back for The Return of the King, actually given a couple of lines, and—though officially credited as "Elf Escort" — is called "Figwit" in the filmmakers' DVD commentary. Canonization was complete when MacKenzie's character appeared in The Hobbit, this time named onscreen as Lindir ("the singer").

Originally, that was simply put in because the writer was thinking of ways that one could fight while handcuffed to their opponent. But then some fans pointed out that it looked like capoeira, and eventually in Another Note, it became canonical that L has some knowledge of that particular martial art. Though the canonical status of Another Note is hotly debated. It's mentioned in the manga reference How To Read, but isn't by the original mangaka, and several things in it appear to either be outrageously untrue (such as the third World War having happened in a world mostly similar to our own) or otherwise clearly inconsistent with the anime and manga canons.

Even after his name was revealed as Tom, press releases continued calling him Mr. Friendly. At Comic-Con 2010, the writers just shrugged their shoulders and gave the character's official full name as "Tom Friendly". Another instance also involves Tom: at one point he mentioned that Kate, the show's most desired woman, was "not his type". Immediately fans began a running joke that he was gay. The actor heard about it and liked it, and started playing Tom that way (albeit subtly). Eventually the writers put it in the script.

Ascended Fanon / int_8d81bb26	comment	On NCIS, fans were absolutely floored when the writers decided to take two or three of the most popular Fandom Specific Plots in the Tiva fandom and make them canon in the season 13 finale. In season 11, Tony and Ziva have a vague Relationship Upgrade after she leaves NCIS and returns to Israel, where he tracks her down but she declines to return to the US with him. Following that, the most predominent fanfiction trend involved Ziva finding out she was pregnant with Tony's child after he left, usually a daughter, named Tali after her deceased sister. This trend was so common it was almost considered cliche. In "Family First," that is exactly what happens, right down to the secret child being a girl named Tali. The response from the fandom was half "wow, I can't believe they went there" and half "hey, I've read this fic."

Instead of simply waiting until the next day before setting off, Superman uses a defective time-bubble belonging to the Legion.

The question was answered in the letter column of Superman (Volume 1) #158, two issues later. A reader by the name of E. Nelson Bridwell —who would later become editor of several Superman books — suggested an explanation, and editor Mort Weisinger instantly declared it canonical:

As another player's little sister (and being much younger than the rest of the group), nobody really wants to squash her creativity so they let her do some world-building — for example, the entire Gungan race, their bubble-city home, and the two-headed podrace announcer. Generally, if something just plain weird happened in the movies, it's probably Sally's idea in D&D. This page shows where the midi-chlorians came from, and then it's Jim's turn. The fanfic Vermilion Coyote has Sally playing Kylo Ren, in an AU story in which Kylo Ren didn't turn to the Dark Side.

Ascended Fanon / int_a609791a	comment	In the original Scooby-Doo there was no evidence supporting anything but typical friendship between cast members, but this didn't stop the wide portrayals of certain characters as Implied Love Interests, mainly Fred and Daphne in the late 60s and early 70s, and then in contrast between Daphne and Shaggy in the 80s. But at no point was any of the franchise really presenting love interests until Shaggy's tussles in the Superstars 10 films. From then on the general stance became Will They or Won't They?, and by Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated such relationship hints became a part of the plot.

Ascended Fanon / int_a825da3e	comment	Magic: The Gathering: MTG had an entire wing of its design inspired by this. Early on, players came up with the idea of "Limited," a way to play where each player brought a small amount of unopened booster packs instead of a deck. Each player would build a deck that 2/3 the normal size out of these cards and then play each other. This proved to be so popular that sets began to be designed with Limited in mind starting with 1996's Mirage expansion. Limited is now divided into multiple formats and is a part of nearly every major tournament. In fact, most new collectible card games include some form of Limited straight from the get-go. Similarly, the format/alternate game type known as EDH/Commander. Originally invented by Judges waiting for events to get started, the game is notable for its extra rules, both in deck constructionnote 99 cards + 1 "commander" that starts the game in a separate zone and not your library. With the exception of a small banlist, any card ever printed is legal to use in and EDH deck. Also, no card in the 99 can have a colored mana symbol that the commander doesn't have; a commander that's Blue/black/red can have any combination of those three colors and colorless cards, but none that have white or green, and in game play note Starting life total is 40 and you can cast your commander from your command zone. Whenever he dies or is sent to anther zone,you can return it to the command zone to cast him again, but each time you do, he costs a cumulative 2 more mana. Also, there's a new win condition: If any commander deals 21 or more combat damage to a player, they immediately lose the game., as well as its focus on multiplayer; games with 4-6 players are common. It's since exploded in popularitynote It's also spawned two similar formats in Brawl (60 cards, 30 life (25 in 1v1), any legendary or planeswalker can lead the deck, but only Standard legal cards can be in the deck) and Oathbreaker (60 cards, 20 life, any planeswalker + one 'signature spell' that can be any instant or sorcery (banlist notwithstanding) and has the same cumulative cost, but can only be cast when the commander is in play.) to the point that it's theorized that it's the most played format in the entire game.

Chandler McCann being Lincoln's personal bully was something that was mostly restricted to earlier fics. The character first appeared in "The Waiting Game", and for a long time that was his only major episode. While the episode depicted him as just a generic jerk and freeloader, lots of fanfic writers subjected him to the Ron the Death Eater treatment and turned him into a full blown bully who has it out for Lincoln personally. This combined with a failed attempt to redeem the character in Season 3's "Jeers for Fears" led to the writers following suit and actually making Chandler a bully to Lincoln, starting with Season 5's "Schooled". Ronnie Anne and Lincoln have become a popular ship in the fandom, with fans using the Portmanteau Couple Name "Ronniecoln". In The Casagrandes Movie, Ronnie Anne has a playlist on her phone titled "Ronniecoln".

Ascended Fanon / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: While the term "warg" (a noun meaning "one who can psychically control animals") is used throughout the books, the act of doing so is consistently called "slipping your skin" or "entering" the animal. The verb form, "warging", was a common shorthand in the fandom for years before it finally showed up on the HBO series. A Storm of Swords and A Dance with Dragons feature a mysterious character named Coldhands, an undead Wight who has somehow retained his free will. Many fans believed him to be none other than Benjen Stark, a member of the Night's Watch who disappeared early in the story. Author George R. R. Martin eventually Jossed this, but the character's debut in the TV series makes it clear that â€” at least in the show continuity â€” the two are one and the same. The survival of Sandor Clegane. In the novels there's a hooded gravedigger at a monastery that fans believe is Sandor. The idea that the Targaryens are naturally Immune to Fire due to their Valyrian ancestry (making Daenerys' statement "Fire cannot kill a dragon" literal rather than metaphorical) was a popular bit of fanon for many years before the show came out, despite George R. R. Martin stating that it wasn't true: while Dany does survive the blaze that awakens her dragons, that was only intended to be a one-time deal (she was protected by the magic that awoke them). Nonetheless, Game of Thrones makes it canon: in the show's continuity, Dany apparently is impervious to fire, as seen when she survives the burning of the Temple of the Dosh Khaleen in Season 6.

Ascended Fanon / int_b31b332f	comment	Transformers Film Series: In Transformers (2007), a very common fan theory was that Starscream was among the F-22s that fire on Megatron in the climax. The producers haven't said definitely that it's canonical, but their stance so far has been "Sure, why not?" The tie-in comic The Reign of Starscream acknowledged this by having Starscream consider it, but decide not to. In the sequel, after Megatron is revived with the help of Scalpel, he accuses Starscream of this while beating him with his own severed arm. Starscream responds in a way that leaves it uncertain. When one of the writers was answering fans' questions in a forum topic on the movie's website, he was asked how Bumblebee was suddenly able to speak at the end of the movie. His answer was that the healing laser Ratchet used earlier in the movie had repaired Bumblebee's vocal processor. When another fan suggested that Bumblebee was healed by the AllSpark, which was clearly shown to heal another damaged Transformer earlier in the movie, the writer admitted that this explanation made more sense than his answer. A lot of fanfics center on the idea that Bumblebee was raised by the Autobots with Optimus himself usually being his central parental figure. In Transformers: Age of Extinction, Optimus confirms he raised Bumblebee when discussing moody teens with Cade.

Ascended Fanon / int_b3708359	comment	Solo officially canonizes a popular fan theory about Han Solo's famous Kessel Run. For years, seemingly every Star Wars fan had their own favorite explanation for why Han bragged about making the Kessel Run "in less than twelve parsecs" in A New Hope, since a parsec is a unit of distance rather than time. Some believed that it was an intentional error, meant to demonstrate that Han was just talking out of his ass; others believed that he was surreptitiously testing Luke and Obi-Wan's knowledge of space travel, and wanted to see if they would correct him; others believed that he was bragging about the Millennium Falcon's navigational capabilities, referring to the specific route that he took through the Kessel system that only a fast ship would be able to make safelynote This explanation was previously made Expanded Universe-canonical in The Han Solo Trilogy. The last explanation was incorporated into the film as a major plot point: Han once took a particularly dangerous shortcut through the Maw Cluster while smuggling valuable cargo from Kessel, allowing him to complete the run in a much shorter distance than normal. It also incorporates the "talking out of his ass" theory by Han insisting to skeptical onlookers that it's twelve parsecs "if you round down".

"Madgoblin" Fettinger pored through his back issues and came up with his own theory: after Osborn had saved her father from the Kingpin, and when she was currently on the outs with Peter, maybe she had gone to thank him, and one thing led to another. After posting this theory on on his website, some of Marvel's writers found it and decided that it worked, so they canonized it. When Spider-Verse was revealed, one of the things they showed off was a picture of an AU Gwen Stacy in her own Spider gear. Fans referred to her as "Spider-Gwen" to differentiate her from all of the other Spider-Women. When it was announced that she'd get her own series, Spider-Gwen ended up being the title. note The character herself goes by either Spider-Woman or Ghost-Spider, however.

The argument goes that the Xenomorph is simply too powerful a predator to have evolved naturally, and there is no ecosystem that could have supported it. Since there was a ship with a bunch of Xenomorph eggs on it, which appeared to have been crewed by a completely different species, the theory went that the pilots of the ship (the so-called Space Jockeys) created the Xenomorphs as a biological weapon to use on their enemies. The ship crashed and the crew was killed when one of the Xenomorphs got loose. Many years later, Prometheus confirmed most of this.

Ascended Fanon / int_b9b58c14	comment	Because Ruby Quest was an interactive story on 4chan, anybody could post anything in the thread. The author, Weaver, tooks several bizzare suggestions seriously, including putting a severed hand up a pneumatic tube — "there it goes..." and blending several other body parts into a GODAWFUL SMOOTHIE. (This last one may be what pushed Red over the edge.) Besides the inevitable trolls, there were quite a few pieces of original fanart. The author included several visual items, including a sort of trident spear tied to a longer handle broken off something else, carried by Ace, as well as the visual design of the mutated doctor Filbert.

Ascended Fanon / int_bc1dc95a	comment	Pirates of the Caribbean: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End featured one of these when Keith Richards was written into the film as Captain Teague, Keeper of the Code and Jack Sparrow's father after, as Terry Rossio put it, "the world collectively woke up one day and decided that Keith Richards was going to be in these films." This was likely due to Johnny Depp discussing it in interviews, since Richards was an influence on Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow. In the same film, Barbossa's first name is "Hector", an idea that was worked out privately with Depp and Rush while filming Curse of the Black Pearl, and caught on with fans after Depp mentioned it in the DVD commentary. Lt. Theodore Groves, played by Greg Ellis, was just "Groves" in the first movie, but fans took a shine to him and gave him a first name and a backstory, much to the actor's surprise and delight, and the creators were onboard.

Ascended Fanon / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Some of the results of the major Games Worskshop tournaments dictate canonical events. This is part of the explanation behind the results of the Tyranid invasion of Macragge. In the Eye of Terror campaign, three Disorder players advised other players where best to attack. They called themselves the Triad. The next campaign newsletter detailed the lore of what happened, especially the Galactic Conqueror... and his advisors, the "mysterious group known only as the Triad." Another fan, on the Tau Empire Third Stage Expansion front, posted messages as "Sa'Caea Sally", a human sympathizer urging the citizens of the Imperium to join the Tau. This also got a mention in the newsletter, and in the 4th Edition Codex. There was also one particular Order player, Canoness Astra, who had a Sisters of Battle army that coordinated the defense for one of the sectors of the war and got special mention in the game newsletters and in the summary at the end of the war. During a campaign the Orks were expected to try to hinder the Tau expansion. Unfortunately for the Imperium the Ork players were unhappy about being shafted like that, and instead banded together to start the 'Green Kroosade' which wound up with them sacking an Imperial Forge World. 'The Green Kroosade' was mentioned in name in official articles after the Eye of Terror. In the Medusa V campaign, Dark Eldar leader No'Akei (herself an Ascended Extra from a White Dwarf battle report) suffered a Bolivian Army Ending in the campaign wrap up, specifically because so many of the Dark Eldar players had wanted to betray her. Similarly, the Obelisks of Galahar that became central to the Craftworld Eldar objective were originally the creation of a player called Sabbad. Also, no fewer than 3 fan craftworlds (Tyriande, Vassiera, and Reia-Hal) were promoted to canonicity in the campaign summary. There are multiple (probable) references to the fanfic Love Can Bloom in one of the Dark Heresy sourcebooks. Among others: LIIVI, the Vindicare Assassin, speaking a quote straight out of the Dawn of War game, and one of the chapters depicts a Vindicare stalking an Eldar Farseer. Another fan-made character, adept Castus Grendel of The Guy Who Cried Grendel (originally a character in somebody's Dark Heresy game who, despite having no combat skills, managed with some lucky rolls to defeat several Daemons, an Ork warboss and assorted other big nasties) is referenced◊ in one of the sourcebooks. And another one: Fan character Alice Boone of The Ragged Edges was a low-grade psyker who was saved from sacrifice at the Golden Throne by her status as a governor's daughter, and was transferred into the Ordo Xenos. A sourcebook mentions a piece of Imperial folklore that follows this word for word, and features a quote on the same page from "The Boons of St. Alys." Commissar Dan is apparently canonized and still ordering his soldiers to make frontline charges with Basilisks in the Only War sourcebook; though his infamous "charge, you pig-fuckers" battlecry is tragically cut short.

The fandom-wide portrayal of Husk purring like a cat becomes canonized in the show's BDSM club scene in the third episode.

Ascended Fanon / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer In the Storm of Chaos campaign, the members of an Orc fansite and forum (Da Warpath) were getting increasingly annoyed (and increasingly vocal) about being sidelined in the campaign background. Some members were also writing background pieces and fan rules, such as DEMOLISHER, one of the Orc Warbosses, falling off a bridge on his boar and the use of the Squigcannon of Gork. Then some of the later campaign newsletters came out, with references to an Orc Warboss falling off a bridge on a boar and squig-firing cannon... And the campaign ended up with the Orcs ultimately winning. An edition update made the "rolling double 1s on a Leadership test means an automatic pass, regardless of modifiers" house rule an official rule, and White Dwarf magazine explicitly stated this was because the house rule was so common most players assumed it was official anyway. (It had always been a rule in Warhammer 40,000.)

Ascended Fanon / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: A DJ unicorn was on screen for a total of five seconds in the episode "Suited for Success". She became popular with the fanbase all the same. A meme circulated of making YouTube videos with her head-bobbing looped over various house, techno and electronic music tracks, calling her "DJ-P0N3" (in reference to deadmau5). The Hub's extended "Equestria Girls" trailer, a rewrite of Katy Perry's "California Girls", addressed the pony as DJ-P0N3, pronouncing it 'pone-three' to prove the reference. The song also used the Fan Community Nickname "brony" to refer to older male fans of the show. DJ-PON3 later made it into the toy line (and eventually, the show itself) under this name. In "Over a Barrel", Fluttershy mentions how she'd like to be a tree, which became a meme. In the Season 2 episode "Hurricane Fluttershy", she tries to get out of going to the big pegasus meeting by disguising herself as a tree. A gray background pony with a blonde mane had her eyes crossed and her face scrunched up in one scene of the pilot.note Word of Dante has said that it was a bored animator who made the character look this way. Apparently, this pony's face was supposed to have been blocked by another pony in front of her, but that pony was removed from the background in the final shot, thus exposing the odd face to the camera. Fans quickly noticed and nicknamed this pony "Derpy Hooves". She quickly started getting scripted appearances, complete with crossed eyes. In the second season episode "The Last Roundup", both her name and the fanon personality (a klutzy but friendly mare) were briefly made canonical. She was made into a "Fashion Style"-sized toy as a 2012 San Diego Comic Con-exclusive, her box decorated with muffins (an obsessive fixation on muffins being one of the most pervasive aspects of her fanon personality). She also made it into the second Fan Favorites set of normal-sized toys, with her name replaced by a muffin symbol. She's seen wearing a bag with a muffin clip on it when shopping in "Putting Your Hoof Down", then showed up twice in Equestria Girls both times holding a muffin. Also, while the comics had referenced it, it wasn't until "To Where And Back Again, Part 1" that show confirmed her job as a mailmare. At this point, the only part of her fanon characterization to not make it into the show is her being the mother of Dinky, a background filly with a similar color scheme. One of the background ponies with a lyre cutie mark was dubbed "Lyra" by the fans. When the fourth wave of blind bag toys were released, the pony with the same coloration and cutie mark was officially named "Heartstrings". The fans compromised by making "Heartstrings" her surname, and when the fifth wave of blind bag toys rolled around, the character was officially referred to as "Lyra Heartstrings". Lyra and another background pony, Bon Bon (or "Sweetie Drops", once trademark loss required that the name, seen in her earlier merchandise, be changed — though not the Gameloft game, strangely), were frequently paired together in crowd shots due to how their color schemes matched up, leading the fans to believe that the two are either inseparable best friends or romantic partners. So influential was this fan-interpretation that the Lyra/Bon Bon pairing is the most widely accepted ship of the entire show by a long shot). The famous 2011 Comic Con poster intentionally placed the two next to each other as a nod to this (and next year's Season 2 poster did likewise), and in Season 2 they were allotted their own Funny Background Events in "Secret of My Excess" and "Putting Your Hoof Down". Furthermore, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls â€“ Rainbow Rocks has their human counterparts performing a duet in the Battle of the Bands. The Lower-Deck Episode shows them as inseparable best friends with a ton of Ship Tease, and a few episodes since have also given them Ship Tease moments that are much more blatant than the subtler ones from season three. Finally, in the episode "The Big Mac Question," the two of them engage in a simultaneous marriage proposal in a Meaningful Background Event, giving the two of them a Relationship Upgrade and making them into a canonical Official Couple. A similar case to Lyra's aforementioned renaming happened to minor antagonist Trixie. One of the blind bag glitter ponies bearing Trixie's color scheme and cutie mark was named "Lulamoon", presumably because the name Trixie couldn't be trademarked. Fans took it as either a last name or a stage name. The fifth wave of blind bags went with the former. The official pony trading cards refer to the mayor of Ponyville as "Mayor Mare", a Fan Nickname that had been used by the fans since the character's introduction. On the same card as Mayor Mare, the David Tennant-esque pony referred to by fans as Doctor Whooves was given a name and background that tied into the fanon circulating around him: Time Turner, Ponyville's official timekeeper, responsible for maintaining the town clocks, running the timer for competitions, and all other things "timey-wimey".note (Yes, that last part is an explicit Doctor Who Shout-Out, and they actually put it on the card.) And then in the official IDW comic book, he found his fob watch and got his memories back. He was later officially named Dr. Hooves (as with Trixie, the omission of the W at the beginning was almost certainly due to copyright/trademark anxiety), and played with the view that he's The Doctor regenerated as a pony (heck, they were even going to have David Tennant voice him). For what it's worth, given there was a point about it before the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special shown in theaters, the BBC are totally fine with it. Speaking of the cards, they also put fan-favorite pairing (platonic or otherwise) Octavia and Vinyl Scratch/DJ-PON3 on one, despite the two never sharing an episode prior to "Bloom and Gloom" (and that was All Just a Dream). As with Lyra and Bon Bon, Tavi and DJ get a major nod to their fan relationship in "Slice of Life": they live together, and their house is painted and decorated one way on one side and quite differently on the other, divided right down the middle in a way that brings to mind the This Is My Side arguments seen in many a cartoon (hinting at a clash between their styles, though we don't see it in the same way as they do fanfics — in fact, Octavia asks Vinyl to help spice up her version of the wedding march.) One of the more bizarre examples of a Fan Nickname being made official was a sea serpent from the two-part pilot given the non-sequitur name "Steven Magnet" for his toy figure. The name originally came from, of all things, a screenshot of the character with the YouTube Automatic Caption "steven magnet" below him (YouTube captions tend to be hilariously wrong and nonsensical at times). Fan-art often portrayed Wonderbolt stallion Soarin as having exact same cutie mark as he does with his flight suit on. This eventually became canonical in the Season 2 finale where he can briefly be seen without it. However, he receives a new cutie mark in Season 4. The Artifact of Doom from Season 3's "Magic Duel" is called the "Alicorn Amulet", referencing the fan name for Winged Unicorns like Celestia and Luna. This was later confirmed by the Season 3 finale, which uses the term "alicorn" to refer to such winged unicorns. "Sleepless in Ponyville" rendered two long-standing fan theories canonical: the first being that Scootaloo views Rainbow Dash as a big sister figure, and the second being that Luna is a Dream Walker who protects people from nightmares. Fans had repeatedly commented on how young pegasus pony Scootaloo never flies on-screen, some wondering if she could at all. In second-season episode "Ponyville Confidential", a nod was made to this where she frantically flaps her wings while falling out of a tree, but still lands in the mud. Eventually, "Sleepless in Ponyville" shows her in real danger due to not being able to fly. Yet it was left ambiguous whether there was anything medically wrong with her wings, or whether she was just having trouble learning to fly (Lauren Faust once responded to a fan's inquiry stating that Scootaloo "hadn't figured it out yet". This did not, however, stop a good number of fans from holding her up as a role model for people with disabilities. The fourth-season episode "Flight to the Finish" used her for what appeared to be a disability-related Aesopnote Rainbow Dash taught her that even though she can't fly, she's still special in other ways, but explicitly left it open as to whether she'd eventually fly. Five seasons later, "Growing Up is Hard to Do" showed her adult body with foal-size wings. A few days after it first aired, one of the staff confirmed that that was indeed meant to indicate an actual disability, but included the line "Fans are welcome to interpret things how they like." note Given that Bulk Biceps can fly despite having even smaller wings, Scootaloo's situation is still technically open to interpretation. In the Season 3 premiere, the villain King Sombra has shown the ability to spread his corrupting influence through severed fragments of his horn. When he was destroyed by the Crystal Heart, his horn could be seen flying out of the detonation, giving rise to the popular speculation that he could regenerate his body from his horn despite claims by Word of God that Sombra was Killed Off for Real. His official trading card has come out mentions that his horn's survival could lead to the possibility of an eventual return from him. King Sombra did eventually return in the Season 9 premiere, but it had nothing to do with his horn. Even then, he was vaporized completely after his resurrection, meaning Sombra is Deader than Dead now. "Castle Mane-ia" introduces the idea of a Pony of Shadows formed from remnants of Nightmare Moon when she was banished to the moon. The origin is different, but this is very similar to the notion of the "Blessing" and the creation of Nyx in Past Sins. "Twilight's Kingdom, Part 1": Tirac's name is changed to Tirek, a common fanmade spelling. Ever since it was first mentioned in "It's About Time", Tartarus became subject to fanfics about one (if not all) of the monsters imprisoned there breaking free. In this episode, our villain does just that. "Alicorn Princess Discord". Thanks, M.A. Larson! Earth Ponies being stronger than the other two tribes was a piece of fanon so common that it was near-universally accepted. There had always been things such as only earth ponies plowing snow in "Winter Wrap Up", or Cheerilee and Ms. Peachbottom's epic Juggernaut moments in "Hearts and Hooves Day" and "Games Ponies Play", respectively, and Big Mac and Maud's Running Gag of insane Super-Strength. Celestia confirms this as canonical when she mentions that "without their strength" (drained by Tirek) they would not be able to tend the land. Several fan works portrayed Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch/DJ-PON3 as roommates. The Lower-Deck Episode "Slice of Life" made that official by showing them sharing the same house. Also, it established that Octavia speaks with a British accent. In the episode "Scare Master", Fluttershy has pony versions of various anime characters hanging from her ceiling, leading to some fans thinking she's an anime fan. A trading card makes reference to this, even mentioning a few other well known anime characters as well. An issue in the official MLP comic series even depicts her as an artist with a booth at an anime convention. One of the most direct examples would have to be "Keep Calm and Flutter On", whose basic premise was created by one of the fans, who then worked with Meghan on the script. Fans had mused over the possibility that not all of the Pinkie clones from "Too Many Pinkie Pies" were found. When Pinkie alludes to this episode in "The Saddle Row Review", we see one of the clones looking over her shoulder. The seventeenth wave of blind bags in 2016 finally made the fan nickname "Cloud Kicker" official for the blonde-maned lavender pegasus. The changelings being true bug ponies with a hive, being born as grubs, etc. All made canonical via Thorax's flashback in "The Times They Are A Changeling" and delved deeper into during the finale, "To Where and Back Again (Part 2)" Hippogriff Original Characters and shippings between ponies and griffons are reasonably common in the fandom. Hippogriffs were formally introduced in My Little Pony: The Movie (2017), and hippogriff characters were introduced to the show proper in season eight. (They clearly aren't what you get when a pony and a griffon love each other very much, though.) Similarly, Kirin are now a thing, though they're not dragon/pony offspring. Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich is a popular ship because of their similarities and excellent chemistry. The Distant Finale "The Last Problem" reveals that they got married and had a son together. Fanfictions and fanart often gave Celestia an evil alter ego similar to Nightmare Moon. The name of this character varies, but popular versions include Nightmare Sun or something involving "Daybreak." The season 7 episode "A Royal Problem" had Celestia encounter Daybreaker in a nightmare scape. Many fanfics featured the G1 villain Grogar in varying capacities. Come Season 9, and we learn that Grogar does exist in the G4 continuity, although the version we see turns out to be Discord in disguise as part of a False Flag Operation, meaning the real Grogar is likely still out there somewhere.

Ascended Fanon / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Season 6B theory first came into wide circulation via the nonfiction book The Discontinuity Guide, written by fans-turned-pros Paul Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping; the BBC would later adapt this into an episode guide on their official website. The theory argues that the Second Doctor continued adventuring in some capacity after he was captured by the Time Lords but before he regenerated at the end of Season 6. The theory was used to plug up continuity holes in some multi-Doctor stories, and has been used in Expanded Universe stories such as the Past Doctor Adventures novel World Game by Terrance Dicks, which takes place entirely during this phase of the Doctor's life. Eve Myles' characters Gwyneth and Gwen Cooper were originally meant not to have any relationship to one another, but fans continued to speculate about it. The Series 4 finale briefly "explains" the resemblance as "spatial-genetic multiplicity": in layman's terms, the Cardiff Rift copied Gwyneth's appearance onto Gwen.) "The Doctor's Wife" confirms three whopping big theories that had been around for decades. Yes, Time Lords can change sex when they regenerate. Yes, the TARDIS' unreliability in taking the Doctor where he wants to go is deliberate on its part. And finally, yes, Doctor/TARDIS is canonical. Thank you, Neil Gaiman. Part of a "The Reason You Suck" Speech in "A Good Man Goes to War" sees then-current executive producer Steven Moffat saying "Sure, why not?" to his past 90s fan self. Moffat had earlier ascended into canonicity, in "The Girl in the Fireplace", his theory that the reason why the Doctor refuses to give his true name to anyone, even to his companions, the people he loves and trusts most in the whole universe, is because there is a dark secret behind it that he can never share. This later became a plotline at the end of Series 6, when it's revealed that the reason the Silence are so eager to kill the Doctor is to prevent the Question being answered; the oldest Question in the universe, hidden in plain sight... "Doctor Who?!". In "Asylum of the Daleks", Moffat incorporated a full-size model Dalek that Russell T Davies had made as a fan, thus bringing it into the canon. Ever since "Blink", fans have wondered if a Weeping Angel would be frozen if it saw its own reflection in a mirror. Six years later, a vignette in "The Time of the Doctor" confirmed the theory. "Flatline": After much speculation by fans and conflicting claims during previous eras, the Doctor explicitly states that the TARDIS can adjust the effective mass of its materialised casing, and that it doesn't weigh the same as all of its internal contents (agreeing with fan arguments that, if it did, it would crack the crust of the planet). The Thirteenth Doctor confirmed a longstanding fanon theory that the Doctor could regenerate into a woman. It was of course established prior with Missy and Kenossium that Time Lords can regenerate into Time Ladies, but Twelve regenerating into Thirteen finally confirmed it. Fans were shipping the Thirteenth Doctor and her companion Yasmin "Yaz" Khan. Yaz admitted her feelings in Eve of the Daleks, and the following month at the Gallifrey One convention, it was revealed that this wasn't the original plan, but they went with it after Jodie Whittaker told showrunner Chris Chibnall about the popularity of the ship. The "support group" scene at the end of "The Power of the Doctor" canonises the very common fanon that most or all of the Doctor's former "contemporary Earth" companions are quietly in touch with one another.

When he heard about the theory, Dave Filoni took a liking to it — and at Celebration 2017, designs for a new outfit Rex was getting in season 4 were revealed that bore a strong resemblance to the clothing of that rebel soldier... However, they ultimately didn't go through with it. The episode "Empire Day" establishes that the Imperial March is the Empire's national anthem.

The writers took note in a 2015 episode where they poke fun at yaoi fangirls and have the kids complain about the ship. And then they canonized the couple. "Carol" was a popular fanon name for Kenny's mom, as it had been used for several other moms before they each got a Sudden Name Change. South Park: The Fractured but Whole makes this official. An odd one. Early on, some fans thought that the class' one black kid was named "Tolkien," not realizing that the joke was him being a minority named Token. "The Big Fix" reveals that his name is Tolkien, any cases where it was pronounced or spelled differently was an In-Universe mistake by the other characters, and anybody who actually thought the black kid's name would be "Token" is a racist piece of shit.

A common compromise in fan works was to feature all three Batgirls in a sort of "Batgirl Inc." or "Team Batgirl" grouping, and DC eventually instituted a similar idea with the League of Batgirls in the Future's End tie-in to Gail Simone's Batgirl (2011) run. The idea finally became canon in current continuity in the 2022 Batgirls series, which stars all three.

Ascended Fanon / int_e23ff2b1	comment	In Masters of the Universe the race of the pre-accident Skeletor blue elf Keldor is known as "Gar" and has been officially referenced as such in the Classics toyline bios. This is because in the 2002 MYP Cartoon series there is an island called Anwat Gar. This is a clever play on the name of the Asian city of Angor Wat. The only resident of Anwat Gar is Sy Klone, a character based on the vintage toy that happens to have a blue face. So it is reasoned by the fans that Sy Klone must be a blue elf (by virtue of his skin color) like Keldor. And wouldn't "Gar" be an obvious name for the race, since it could be reasoned that Anwat Gar sounds kinda like it could be a foreign term for "City of Gar" or something like that? After years of common usage by fans on fansites, etc, Mattel decided "sure, why not?" This extends to the point that the modern DC comic series depicts Gar military uniforms looking almost identical to Sy-Klone's outfit.

During the course of the show, Dawn's middle name was never revealed. An early Buffy fanfic writer decided that her middle name was "Marie", and this "fact" quickly spread to the point that most Buffy stories out there that mentions Dawn's middle name at all has it be "Marie." During a Q&A, one fan asked Joss Whedon if it was true that Dawn's middle name was "Marie" and he sort of shrugged and said, "Sure, we'll go with that. Dawn Marie Summers."

He flirted back. It is now pretty much canonical that Barricade likes chicks.

And then the series gives its own little twist: Hooded Justice was actually a bisexual Black police officer named William Reeves, who concealed his ethnicity using the hood and makeup during his superhero career and then just abandoned the hood and makeup when he retired, allowing him to live anonymously for decades.

The first three were Master Rule, Master Rule 2, and Master Rule 3. The next two were the New Master Rule and Master Rule Revision April 2020 — but, for convenience sake, the Oddly Named Sequels are simply called Master Rules 4 and 5. Then, in the lead up to the latter, official side events official referred to it as Master Rule 5.

Fans referred to her as "Spider-Gwen" to differentiate her from all of the other Spider-Women.

(a reference to Art Carney). A child fan of the show missed the reference and sent Best Brains a drawing of the cast labelling Crow as "Art" under the impression that that was his actual name. The letter was shown on the show, and ever since Crow was occasionally called "Art" (usually by Pearl Forrester) as a Running Gag. This even ended up being ascended into another show. In the series Other Space, Joel Hodgson plays Zalian Fletcher, ship's engineer, and Trace Beaulieu, original voice of Crow, voices Zalian's robot pal, named A.R.T.

Ascended Fanon / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: The Predacons' ship in Beast Wars was unnamed, but Terrorsaur once told Cheetor "Welcome to The Dark Side" when he ended up on the ship. Though he was just being theatric, fan use of the name led to the name being used for the BotCon 2006 (convention run by the officially Hasbro-licensed fan club) exclusive toys and the accompanying comic book (as Darksyde), and thus the official name. Rhinox's chainguns, most famously used in the first season episode Chain of Command. The unofficial name given to them by the fandom was "Chainguns O' DOOM" and the phrase eventually appeared on Rhinox's bio cards in later toy releases. For Transformers: Animated, Marty Isenberg liked the Fan Nickname for Lugnut's exploding-rocket-fist-thing ("Punch of Kill Everything") so much he had the name used in the fourth issue of the comics. Supposedly, he tried to use it in the show, but Never Say "Die" reared its ugly head, and no other word really worked there (with the possible exception of "Krush") to make it abbreviate to POKE. The POKE appears again, with its proper name and everything, in Transformers: War for Cybertron; a special move damage upgrade for the Soldier class is called "POKE Alpha", and one of the Leader class's killstreak rewards is the "POKE 2.0", a temporary one-hit-kill melee attack that, when equipped, will prompt the announcer to say, "Punch of Kill Everything equipped!". Many fan terms from Transformers: Generation 1 became officially canonical over the years. The term "Seekers" for the Decepticon jets (taken from of all things, a toy flyer from 1984), "gestalt" as a catch-all term for combiners (much better than their at-the-time only canonical name from the comics, "fusilateral quintocombiners") and the concept of subspace to explain size changes, suddenly appearing weapons and trailers, etc. have all popped up in official stories. In Transformers: Prime, Breakdown and Knock Out were shipped together a whole bunch after their debut. They never managed to get together in the show but appeared as a couple in The Transformers: Windblade. Another Transformers: Prime example, "Steve/ST3V3 The Vehicon" was a nickname given to particularly unlucky vehicons across the course of the show. In the comics for Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), a vehicon by this name makes an appearance, it being explained he suffered cranial damage which made him forget his numerical assignment and he found the name "Steve" on a bilboard. It had a pleasing tone.
