This does give the article the tone of something like a children's book (surely the Meep's intention). But if we go forward with this writing style, we must ask if this is retroactive as well? I figure an answer will come once we figure out how many pages we need on "The Meep." But it's worth noting for now.

: I think we can safely say it's not retroactive, no. The Meddling Monk precedent applies — whether in terms of pronouns or name (i.e. "Beep the Meep" vs. "The Meep"), we should stick to what a given source uses. What to do with paragraphs cited to ''Star Beast'' is more complicated. I do think it's fair to ask if that line is meant to be truthful: Davies has talked about his Meep as a "him" in BTS stuff, and the "definite article" line is when the Meep is still cronying up to Rose as part of a completely fake persona. Maybe once Rose asked, he/the Meep thought that having a whimsical pronoun preference would be better for ingratiation, and less suspicious, than just saying "nah he/him's good after all"?
