Yeah, it's interesting to think about because I've certainly shipped things based on very, very little writerly confirmation that we're meant to see something there, but I do need that positive confirmation.
It's definitely not confined to shipping for me. I don't have a lot of interest in rewriting canon in general or in pushing the boundaries of canon too far out of line. I just . . . feel like boundaries keep things meaningful? For me it's pretty much always a choice between "I'm happy enough within canon" and "I'm not watching the show anymore."
