Yes, I totally get that. In TV/book canon, there is a set text and authorial/actor/director intentions all over it in a very explicit way - you can disagree with it and argue with it and critique it, but it is a finite thing.

But in RPF we are deciding what bits of canon to take and leave, and we are making decisions about what parts of characterisation are performative/fanservice/stage persona and what is behind the scenes/off-stage persona/unrehearsed, and it's all SO SO INTERESTING and there's so much room for interpretation.
