I am honestly dreading you getting spoilers of Death&Rebirth because that was a huge lore dump for us when it came out a while ago, and just yesterday I read a reddit post where the user went "I'm not tagging D&R as a spoiler anymore because we've all played it by now"
thankfully i haven't heard a single thing about D&R from anywhere - either through avoidance (saw the title, kept moving) or just lucky with things coming up on my feed. helps that i'm not actually following that many meta lore people (like, none! other than you and you don't seem to post much about it on tumblr that i've seen) and just a few people that post fanart so my LaDS social feed is small and fairly well contained, and I've mostly given up on reddit.
"(some of which i wish would die or a fire or at least stop being so prominent)"
You can't just say that and not elaborate!
well, it's not so much heavily-inserted fanon, i guess, now that i sit here and ruminate without any coffee to hand. just some of the tropes and random things that seems to have spread virally through the fiction - like Caleb always stealing/using MC's panties. that is obviously not canon but it feels like a solid three quarters of the fiction for Caleb has that bedrock assumption that he does. i do not approve.
i have a ton of OTHER pet peeves about the fiction but that drags a little too closely to making fun of other people's earnest efforts. but lord a'mercy, there are some very common phrases and words that just get overused and i just wish they would go away. the next time somebody uses the word "plush" to describe anything other than a small, stuffed toy, i will cut a bitch.
