Welcome to Downal Wyth Bluddy Clichés!

What is Downal Wyth Bluddy Clichés, you ask?

That... is a Most Excellent question!  (^__^)

Well... perhaps you've noticed that (in any fandom) certain aspects of a character or plot devices become "fanon" or staples.  Here, I challenge fans (myself included!) to go back to the movie, watch it upside down and under water and from back-to-front, all the while wearing your grandpa's reading glasses, and see what contrariwise ideas occur!

For instance: Do the Hatter or Thackery or Mally ever say they like drinking tea?
*thinks... thinks... thinks...*
Hmm... no.  I don't believe they do!  (And yet we often assume it's true!)

So, let's reconsider some of these fanon bits and see what sorts of crazy, mad, wonderful ideas result!

REMEMBER: The goal of Downal Wyth Bluddy Clichés is NOT to write Out-of-Character pieces.  The GOAL is to take a good, hard look at the canon and come up with something new, interesting, and thought-provoking!
