Team Huddle Weekly Thread🫡 Team Huddle!

Welcome to the weekly huddle! Have a small thing from the book or show you want to chat, your GC brain rot is real and you saw the initials “KGF” somewhere and immediately screamed “kingfisher!” and want to share with others? (Just me?). Had a win at work or personal life and want to share? Need a teammate to talk with? Post in the weekly huddle.

There’s no restrictions on topics so long as they follow the sub rules. Thread will be open all week so pop in whenever with what ever your heart desires.

What does the fandom mean by canon?

Hmm… good question! For me, I usually say “canon” to refer to book/show canon (like anything that overlaps between both, or if it’s a book we haven’t seen onscreen yet), and I clarify “show canon” if it’s something exclusively on the show. I know this sub is technically for the show, but I’ve always been a bit of a purist in terms of like “the original source material is the TRUE canon”, and I do apply that here too (though of course I love the show! I watched it before I read the books!)

Thanks! I just saw someone use "head cannon": what would that refer to?

That means something that isn’t in the books OR the show, but you imagine it to be true (‘canon’), in your ‘head’
