Re: "You can't headcanon a detail that already has canon"?
(Anonymous) 2021-08-28 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)For example for a trans headcanon:
Canon = character is shown to be or explicitly refers to self as trans in the story
Headcanon = character is not shown to be and does not explicitly refer to self as trans but fan likes to imagine they are and there is nothing in the canon that directly refutes this so it could have been true all along
Not canon = character explicitly is shown to be cis, any trans fic would then be "AU" not headcanon
I imagine OP meant you can't headcanon something that has direct canon evidence against it, like turning an established gay character bi. "Straight" characters usually have more leeway with this because tons of them are only "straight by default" without it being explicitly mentioned anywhere in canon that they are exclusively straight, and just because the only onscreen romances are opposite-sex doesn't mean they can't be bi, etc.
