My personal canon

I stumbled upon a canon on sylvia's site and it gave me a term for something I lacked my own better term for.

Collecting bits and pieces from all over the place

Last updated 2026-07-29

Films

• Parasite

• Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri

Music

• Sleep Token

• Lorna Shore

• Rammstein

  Relevant for context, but still unforgiven.

Ballet

• Giselle, specifically all of Act II

• Swan Lake Act IV

  I love all the various endings, yet the 'correct' ending for me includes Sigfried and Odette dying, freeing all the swans and being together in the afterlife.

• Alexander Ekman

  "Play" specifially

• Ballet of Hong Kong

Games

• Disco Elysium

  "I'm so fucking normal right now"

Ideas & Concepts

• Amor Fati

  You can and should imagine me happy, rolling my stone up that hill.

• People are way bigger on the inside

  (certainly way bigger than our mental model of them.)

• Every model is false, but some models are useful

  common aphorism in statistics, applies to a lot.
