Let's make some shit up!
Know what's fun to talk about in RP? Imaginary canons.
Know what we need more of? Imaginary canons.
There was a similar post to this a few months back, but that was specifically for expy versions of represented canons. Let's use this post to come up with some TV shows, games, movies and books to namedrop in conversations! Also, assemble fake canons that have been referenced in the past.
Here's all the established ones I know of from previous posts:
Adamgelion, a 90s mecha anime full of weird freudian themes and meaningless Christian symbolism. Has a huge, eccentric fanbase.
Agents of S.W.O.R.D, a new tie-in series to a recent line of comic book superhero movies called The Revengers.
Annie Lewis and the Aesir, a popular recent book series about a girl who learns that she's the daughter of Thor.
Baking Bad, a comedy series about a home ec teacher who is diagnosed with cancer and starts baking pot brownies.
The Big-Toe, a mecha anime with heavy noir trappings and weird psychological elements that nobody really understands.
Card Fight!, an anime about card games and mind crushing and possibly motorycles that made a shitload of money.
Child Champs, a popular superhero cartoon aimed at a younger audience, which some fans of Z-Team look down on with scorn. Spawned a sequel series Child Champs Commence.
Courageous Lord Roarmachine, another mecha anime released shortly after Adamgelion, but instead of ponderous symbolism it has explosions and hot-blooded shouting and enormous toy sales.
Dark Alteration, a series of sci-fi third-person shooter video games from a few years back with an extremely controversial ending.
Data Dingos Story: Icon Handler, a pair of post-apocalyptic RPGs about how much Heaven sucks.
Days of our Goodbyes, the long and terrible soap opera to end all long and terrible soap operas. It is mainly notable for starring confirmed acting superstar Octavia Serket in the unforgettable non-speaking role of Girl.
Detergent, a long-running action anime about a blue-haired boy who gains supernatural powers and fights vampires.
Dollmansion, a sci-fi TV series from a few years ago.
Dominion Souls, a video game series about a boy with a destiny of fighting the soulless, and also crossovers.
The Dwarfling, a prequel to Saturn's Lord written by the author's cousin.
Fable of Helga, a hugely popular fantasy game series about a red-clad young hero named Chain who rescues a princess named Helga over and over and over again.
Formshifters, a TV series from the nineties about teenagers who turn into animals that was held back by a shoestring budget.
Galaxy Quest, an adored sci-fi TV show from the 60s about space explorers in an adventure-packed universe. Spawned a continuation much later called Galaxy Quest: The Journey Continues.
Gekiganger III, a 70s super robot anime that spawned a great deal of spinoffs over the years.
Gendum, an anime meta-series about teenagers piloting giant robots in space. The original had a lot of political themes, and some of the later series like Gendum XX went more into superhero team territory.
Go-Bots, a rival cartoon to Shiftchangers that has endured into the present.
Harmony Dolphin, a kids' show about talking dolphins written to sell bath toys. Unexpectedly gained a cult following among adult males, who call themselves Brofins.
Homebound, a massive and experimental multimedia project slash webcomic about kids playing videogames and saving the world. Got weird when they introduced 48 magical girl squid aliens at once.
Heroines, a TV series about women with mysterious powers that was tragically cut short of its full potential by the Writer's Strike.
Identity, a series of RPGs about teenagers and friendship and saving the world.
The Inconcievables, an animated superhero movie by Xipar studios about a family of supers and a disgruntled fanboy supervillain.
Inspector Spacetime, a sci-fi TV series that's been running for over fifty years. Includes two spin-off series, Peacemist and The Mary Sue Predicaments.
Ivorystone, a book series about woodland creatures settling a faraway planet after their own was lost.
Jurassic Heart, an infamous dating sim about a girl who goes to a school full of sexy dinosaurs.
K-OFF!, a moe anime about girls having fun in high school. Possibly regarding rock music?
Karate Bugman, a long-running live-action series from Japan about hot-blooded young men who transform into superheroes with bug costumes.
Magical Remedy, a long-running magical girl meta-series about girls discovering the true meaning of friendship while fighting doofy monsters in endless filler episodes. Has a bunch of crossover movies between different continuities.
Magician's Card Trick, a magical girl anime about a girl who uses cards to summon magical allies to help her seal off rifts in the fabric of space.
Ninja-Dragon Riders, a live-action Japanese series about riders on dragons that are also ninjas, that ran out of funding because of Tiny Monsters.
Pretty Pretty Sailor Girl, a long-running magical girl anime from the 80s about a team of five girls who fight oddball monsters and villains. Has spawned many sequels and imitators.
Proselytion, a modern mecha anime that had a lot of heavy-handed symbolism and a weirdass ending. People accuse it of ripping off Adamgelion.
Sanctuary, an indie platformer about reconstructing a destroyed world. Famous for its soundtrack and soothing narrator.
Saturn's Lord, a famous sci-fi epic book series about a young boy trying to destroy a mysterious artifact before an invading warlord can get his hands on it.
Seihou Project, a series of brutal bullet hell shooting games about a robot maid named VIVIT.
Shiftchangers, an old cartoon about vehicles that transform into robots to fight other robots. Recently got a big-budget movie trilogy that a lot of people didn't really like all that much.
Star Wars, a trilogy of fantasy films about Lukra Starkiller's battle against the Tyrant. There was a prequel trilogy, but it got weirdly sci-fi and nobody liked it.
Stockades & Serpents, a popular tabletop roleplaying game about murder-hobo heroes in a fantasy world. There's also a spinoff of one of the older editions called Trailseeker.
Swords & Machines, an RPG series dating back to the late 80s about fantasy steampunk heroes collecting crystals and fighting nebulously-explained manifestations of darkness.
The Mantis, a comic book series about a tortured billionaire playboy who fights crime in dark alleyways.
Transcendental, a mediocre supernatural thriller book series about two brothers who fight ghosts. Might be getting a TV show.
Tiny Monsters, a wildly popular game series about capturing and trading monsters.
Trinity Peaks, a 90s mystery thriller TV series about an FBI agent investigating the murder of a teenager in a small town. Gets weird.
Ultra-Squad, an ongoing franchise of live-action series from Japan about color-coded teams of three to six superheroes. Has occasional crossovers with Karate Bugman.
Young Changeling, a TV series based on an 80s movie about a teenager who is secretly a changeling.
Z-Team, a long-running comic book series about a group of mutants with special powers who are shunned by society. The leader is Richard Zelver, a double amputee with incredible psychic powers.
Drop by the comments either with ideas or with things we're missing (we need a magical girl anime! and so forth), and we can assemble the details together. Also, if there are more I'm missing on the above list (there definitely are), bring them up and I'll update the list. Let's roll.
Know what we need more of? Imaginary canons.

no subject
Young Changeling, a TV series based on the 80s film of the same name where a high school thespian learns that she's not, in fact, human but a faerie changeling left in place of the human baby seventeen years ago.
Dominion Souls, a smash hit game series by the same company that made S&M about a young boy who discovers that he and his friends are responsible for stopping an genocidal freak hellbent on making everyone soulless monsters. It's a crossover with Kismet, who is know for their musical adaptations of popular faerie tales.
Kismetville and Marc Kismet Kingdom are popular theme parks, created by Marc Kismet after his animation company took off with their flagship character, Christopher Cat.
Ivorystone, a popular book series. It features woodland creatures who escaped their dead planet to settle on the planet Ivy W-006. "Ivorystone" is the name of the ship they arrived on and the first captain plays an important part in guiding the characters of later books thanks to holographic technology.
Annie Lewis and the Aesir, a YA series about a girl who discovers that the Norse gods are real and that she's related to Thor. Fun times.
And I am bad at languages other than French, but someone needs to come up with a non-French Les Mis XD
