Blessed be you, universal matter, immeasurable time, boundless ether, triple abyss of stars and atoms and generations: you who by overflowing and dissolving our narrow standards or measurement reveal to us the dimensions of God.

People often complain about "how many genders there are". When you go through school, you learn that there are three states of matter. You also learn that there are two genders. Of course, this is not the reality. You may learn that plasma is a fourth state of matter, and that there are transgender or nonbinary people.
Let's take a look at the true number of states of matter...
I feel that if Bose-Einstein condensate is a valid state of matter, then girlflux is a valid label.
The real world is FAR from simple. Not even matter is binary (or quaternary).

POV: it’s the year 2000. You exit your university library after study hour to discover all the students are gone. It’s been 3 days and you haven’t found a single human being. The transit does not run anymore. You’re not particularly mad about it, and find new friends in the borderland.

As long as I can make them laugh, it doesn’t matter how, I’ll be alright. If I succeed in that, the human beings probably won’t mind it too much if I remain outside their lives. The one thing I must avoid is becoming offensive in their eyes: I shall be nothing, the wind, the sky.

Space is a near-perfect vacuum, but it’s not entirely empty. A small list of matter include :
a few hydrogen atoms here and there (less than one hydrogen atom per cubic meter)
Dark Matter — an enigma that was recently discovered in the 20th century. It doesn’t interact with the normal matter that we’re used to (eg. solid, gas, liquid). We can’t see it since it doesn't interact with light or any electromagnetic radiation. However, it does exist and makes up about 27% of the universe.
Neutrinos — neutral subatomic particles with little mass and no electric charge. They’re from atoms that come together (nuclear fusion) or break apart (nuclear fission)
Electromagnetic radiation and magnetic fields
There are other things that exist in outer space but they’re usually not normal matter and don’t make space very dense at all. It’s okay because space is never truly empty but it can still be very close to empty, making it a far better vacuum than the best ones we can make on earth.
This is not an issue for electromagnetic waves (like light and radio waves) that can travel through space unhindered because they don’t need any medium to propagate.
Sound waves are different since they're mechanical waves, which is just vibrating matter. Hence, they need a medium to travel through to be heard. In space there is no air or medium for sound waves to travel through. This means that no one can hear you scream in space :)

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Honestly I don't understand ship wars.
Why would anyone fight over ships? I don't ship dragonfruit but do ship spicynoodles and guess what? I dont bitch to dragonfruit shippers for shipping it.
There is literally no point in arguing about which one is 'more canon' because a pretty big point of shipping is that it doesn't matter whether it's canon or not.
Let's take Goldendragon for example: in canon they said that they aren't interested in each other like that, but shipping is still a thing. Because. Canon. Does. Not. Matter. That. Much. In. Shipping. It's a base for shipping, something that makes people ship the ships, or get people interested in them, but shipping is active whether it's canon or not.
Goldendragon shippers are just as valid as any other shippers.
Just let everyone ship whatever they want as long as it isn't something problematic damnit!

On the other hand, Ridcully believed that everything had come into being by chance or, in the particular case of the Dean, out of spite.
