For anyone who's interested, I found a few quotes on rufftoon's DA page about her take on the issue:

:Movie verse and book verse Pitch are rather different. I don't know if the movie verse one ever had a daughter..."

"Though I separate book verse and movie verse characters, North is a mix: he has a past as an adventurer, soldier and thief. Some of that comes out at the worst of times."

I wouldn't call it at all definitive because she's not the author of the books nor a director/writer of the movie, and I think it's still valid for people to combine them if they want to, but here's some evidence that going the other way is valid too.

yeah, there are lots of stuff on rufftoon's blog and da page. it was from her that i learned books and movie were made at the same time (it wasn't like httyd or shrek where they found a book and said hey let's adapt this). when she published one of the pitch comics she even mentions something in the lines of "i know he's different from the books but this pitch is the one that counts for me because we didn't fully have the books back then and this is what we worked for" (not exact quote, talking from memory here)

but as you said, she isn't a higher up, and hey, she alls her comics "fancomics" herself. so yeah, the status of this so far is "unknown" and both sides are right in doing their thing.

be careful around tumblr, though, since they took joyce's inspiration quote from the dvd and interpreted whatever they wanted from it (aka canon+movie=same universe being canon)

btw, rufttoon uploaded new pages for her north comic today! :D

She is so ridiculously talented; I've been following her since her ATLA days and she's only gotten better. Reading her comics is actually what got me interested in the canon in the first place; I'd played with RPers from it and had a lot of fun, but hadn't had much drive to actually watch the movie or read the books until I looked more into her stuff.

she was one of the storyboard artists for the movie iirc? but yeah either way she really is great, i love her works and it was a lovely surprise to see that new north comic

somewhat leaning more towards the topic of the thread, i personally take rufftoon's comics for movie canon simply because they don't immediately contradict any of the movie's factors, and that's what i play from. but yeah, either way it really is a vague line between the two verses, and i don't mind other people that don't take the comics into account. i still think they really help flesh some factors of the characters regardless, though. holds the one she did for jack close to my bosom tbh

as someone who prefers the book canons, I'd like to say that I definitely agree.

Rufftoon worked very hard with the movie crew, and whether the movie and book are the same universe or not, her stuff DOESN'T contradict the movie.

I personally wouldn't have any conflict playing against someone who took movie canon from Rufftoon's work, as it just kinda... makes more sense.

I haven't met anyone who's elitist/separatist about it yet, for what it's worth. I mean, I loved the movie-- I just prefer the book because it brought me in deeper and gives me more material. That, and I adore Katherine. But I don't have any beef with players who stick to the movie as separate.
