frankly i think the writers are painting themselves into a hole by constantly seeking to define what should be and what should not be "canon"
multiple canon approach is fine too, of course
on the adventure time wiki they have goddamn templates that denote like "this is an extended universe work" et cetera, for the comics and other materials
we should maybe try and focus less on what's hard and fast within some mundane continuity, perhaps
there can be more than one canon, it's always possible
I have always felt it is every fanfiction author's right to cherry-pick the canon based on the needs of the story. Especially if that canon comes to light after the story begins.
