Though if it turns out it's canon, I'll ignore it because I'm tired of the Humans Are Special trope.

  • Personally, I ignore the "Sornieth's tech is equivalent to 1920's tech" thing; Lightning & Arcane are far more technologically advanced than the other Flights & they both have some form of magitech. Fire trails in third place because of its trade partnership with Lightning, Earth is least advanced, and the other Flights are more-or-less in the middle.
  • Breeds aren't a Planet Of Hats; one of my Mirrors prefers the company of other breeds (and even then, only specific dragons), my Ridgies don't fear water, most of my Guardians don't have a Charge, etc.
  • Some of my "dragons" aren't actually dragons, or are of a non-canon breed. (ex. one of my project dragons will - gameplay-wise - be a Spiral, but in my (unwritten) lore, they'll be a sea serpent. :v )
  • Add me to the "ignores canon sizes" thing - sure, there's still a difference, but not to the point an Imperial could accidentally tread on a Skydancer.
Yeah, aside from calling the breeds by their FR names, and roughly keeping to sizes, I ignore just about everything. There's a reason large amounts of my lore are labeled as breaking canon.

Like, I mean really breaking canon.

  • I ignore most of the breed charecteristics unless they're convenient for the charecter
  • The ah is canon to me
  • Exalt is more bloody war than peaceful service
  • Exalt is like a draft, but the wealthy often pay their way out of it
  • Age isn't always the same (headcannon is 1 irl day is a year for them)
  • I know noct are glitched with size but I like them being mega small
  • The lair location thing on the clan profile means nothing. I never left th crystalspine reaches in lore despite it saying we're chilling at the observatory
  • Dragon clothing indicates wealth and is way more common/desired than bare dragons
  • Skins/accents are permanent markings the dragon was born with, but can't be passed on

I pick and choose a lot but I think the biggest piece of canon I ignore is probably size, yeah. I have a really hard time with the disparity and how the scale of anything would work out (even just basic things like trying to puzzle out multibreed living spaces), so I just pretend everything is similar size with variations for breed XD;
