exactly. if someone only has one invite to give out and it comes down to a choice between a castmate/a character from a canon they're familiar with or a character from an obscure canon, even if they're tagging with the character from the obscure canon on the tdm and having a good time they're still far more likely to pick the castmate or the character from the canon they know to give their invite to, so ocs and characters from obscure canons are inevitably going to be at a disadvantage for that reason.
