#Headcanon

A headcanon is a fan’s personal fantasy that forcibly fills in the gaps left by official narratives. It disregards authorial intent to reshape characters and settings to one’s liking in a creative act of nihilism. Evidence-free hypotheses are shared as if gospel, igniting endless debates. Within fandoms, it becomes a ritualistic necessity, growing into a monster that can overshadow the source material. It’s less about reading and more about an echo chamber of self-satisfaction.
