That was my understanding of it too. Either builds off canon or at least fits in without contradicting anything else.

You can certainly come up with events that contradict with canon, but it stops being headcanon and is just a fantasy. Headcanons are based on the original story, while fantasies deny original events in favor of a fan's or fic author's preferred story.

You say that like you think fantasies are a bad thing, even when the material for those fantasies is fiction in the first place.

DA

No, they don't? It's just a definition....

I'm not sure how you interpreted my post that way, but I don't have a problem with fantasies. I have a problem with calling them headcanon when they clearly contradict established canon.

Yeah, this is how I've always seen the term used in every fandom I've ever been in. Headcanon is for stuff that can fit into canon without contradicting it, like deciding that a character's favorite ice cream flavor is Rocky Road or that when they were a kid they had a teddy bear named Mr. Dinkums that they slept with until they were seven.

Anything that contradicts canon in any way is considered an AU, not a headcanon.
