"Headcanon" refers to a fan's personal interpretation or belief about a fictional universe, character, or plot point that is not officially established in the source material. It represents a way for audiences to fill in gaps or expand on stories in a way that makes sense to them personally. Unlike 'canon', which is the official truth of the work, a headcanon exists only in the mind of the fan or within a specific community of fans. It is a foundational concept in transformative fandom spaces like Tumblr, where users share and debate these unofficial theories.
- Example
-
> What if I headcanon that Trish has a phobia of elevators post-Golden Wind?
> My personal headcanon is that they actually stayed friends after the movie ended, even if the sequel ignored it.
> That's a wild headcanon, but it actually explains a lot of his weird behavior in episode three.
