there needs to be a term for 'this is unsalvageable by watsonian means, i'm retconning it, i give up,' but i can't decide whether to call it a watsonian burial or a doylist burial
i'm leaning watsonian burial, but i can't articulate why and i would like to do so before i make the decision
highpotinnoose: that might well be it! plus watsonian burial rolls off the tongue better, which is a shame since after more thought i think doylist burial is probably more accurate 😔 watsonian implies using watsonian approach to declare that bit of canon dead, when watsonian framing what's being abandoned because doylist approach is the only way to fix it
the input is much appreciated! helped me narrow it down, thank you ✨️
