Line 2:
Once a work has been published to general acclaim, speculation runs rampant. What did X really mean? How could Y do that? How are we supposed to interpret Z? For some reason or another, the [[Word of God|primary creator]] [[Shrug of God|keeps quiet]], so when someone else with at least some authorative status to the work says something, it can be easily accepted and incorporated into the common view.
 
Do note that '''Word of Saint Paul''' might contain mistakes or misunderstandings of the original creator. Thus, they can easily carry the germ for future debates.
 
The dividing lines among [[Word of God]], Word of Saint Paul and [[Word of Dante]] are somewhat fluid, but if it can be reasonably supposed that someone has had a role in creating the work, or a close personal relation to the primary creator, then it is probably Word of Saint Paul instead of Word of Dante.
Line 8:
In a film or TV series, typical sources of Word of Saint Paul are the primary actors, the cameraman or the score writer. In literature, it can be the author's spouse, the editor, or the publisher.
 
[[Trope Namer|Named]] for Saint Paul the Apostle, who through diligent missionary and organisation work very much changed Christianity from a minor Jewish sect into a budding world religion, while clarifyingre-stating lots of things to [[Word of God|whatthat Jesus said]].

* After ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'' ended, the author's former stepbrother took control of his Twitter Account and revealed, among other things, that "da cooger" was going to be revealed as Tsunade under another name and that Sakura aged from 13 at the start to 16 at the end.

Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[George Clooney]] told Barbara Walters in an interview that he played Batman as gay in [[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]].
{{quote|"I was in a rubber suit and I had rubber nipples. I could have played Batman straight, but I made him gay."}}
* ''[[Top Gun: Maverick]]'': The past of [[Number Two]] Warlock is never elaborated on in the film proper, but he gets along better with Maverick than his boss does. His actor, Charles Parnell, is of the view (as stated [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlG7DeO09t4 here] and [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/top-gun-maverick-black-navy-pilots-history-rcna30085 here]) that he was a perpetually off-camera member of Maverick's TOPGUN class who stayed on the straight and narrow all the way into the admiralty.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Heirs of Alexandria]]'', Christianity gained another early high-powered missionary and organiser in Hypatia, and thus split into two groups, based on different Words of Saint Paul: the Pauline branch and the Petrine branch.
* Virginia Heinlein shaped a lot of how her husband [[Robert A. Heinlein]] was viewed by regulating which of his bookbooks were published, and how, according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130928100107/http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2010/05/the-wives-and-drives-of-robert-heinlein-ginny/ Frederik Pohl].
* August Derleth shaped much of the popular understanding of the [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s ''[[Cthulhu Mythos]]'', and codified a lot of it.
** Which has been [[Broken Base|hotly contested]] as Derleth split the mythos between what was basically good or bad (Elder Gods vs. The Great Old Ones) with the Elder Gods having been added after Lovecraft died. The main conflict is that the Elder Gods tend be fairly benign, while The Great Old Ones try to destroy humanity, often going away from the [[Blue and Orange Morality]] that makes up the mythos. In recent times, Derleth's concept of good and evil is becoming less common, with the ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)|Call of Cthulhu]]'' tabletop game removing it from the 6th edition.
* To a similar degree, that is true of Lin Carter with the work of [[Robert E. Howard]].
* In the ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine Relaunch]]'' books, Andrew Robinson, who played the character Elim Garak, has filled in much of Garak's mysterious and covert past.
* Christopher Tolkien is often this to his father [[J. R. R. Tolkien|JRR Tolkien]] when it comes to posthumous works. In particular, the published version of ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' is often assumed to be canon, when it is simply the most well-known interpretation of a number of unfinished and contradictory sources. On the whole, Christopher is pretty careful to separate actual [[Word of God]] from his own thoughts on paper.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* According to [[Jim Parsons]] of ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', his character [[Hollywood Nerd|Sheldon]] has [[Asperger's Syndrome]].
* The finale of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' contains a long [[Time Passes Montage]] with little to no dialogue throughout. Several of the actors involved have given their take on what happened--suchhappened—such as Amanda Tapping and Chris Judge saying they played their parts as if Sam and Teal'c had developed a relationship, and Michael Shanks saying the reason that Vala is crying and being consoled by Daniel in one scene is because she miscarried.
 
== [[Theatre]] ==
* The actress who originated Patrice in ''[[13]]'' has said that her characterscharacter's last name is Parker, though the script lists only first names for all the characters.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* A developer for Infinity Ward has stated that Captain Price from [[Modern Warfare]] is the grandson of the original Captain Price. Also when Price's voice actor was asked about what happened to Price and what his motivations were he stated that Price was put in a gulag for two years at some point after Call of Duty 4 (instead of 5 as most players assumed, this means he was captured in 2014 rather than 2011) and that the experience left him rather unhinged and he is willing to do anything to win the war at this point.
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* According to Vivienne's best friend Faustisse, who worked as one of the show's illustrators, Alastor of ''[[Hazbin Hotel]]'' is aromantic in addition to also being asexual. She has also stated that Husk is pansexual.
