I have no way to judge you personally (maybe you are just that talented of a comic creator) but 99% of the time when I hear someone say 'better than canon', what they really mean is 'focuses on things I like more than canon does'. In the Harry Potter or Naruto fandom I've sometimes had people recommend me fics that they considered better than canon, and, well, they weren't. What they were, though was better forbidden love stories than canon, or better stories of political intrigue than canon, or so on and so forth. As someone who isn't particularly interested in those things, I thought the stories were way, way, worse than canon; the people who recced them to me, though, loved them.

I guess my point here is that there's nothing wrong with liking your headcanon better than canon; it's uniquely tailored to you, after all, in a way no one else's canon could ever be. That doesn't make you actually better than the canon creator or other fans, though. It just means you're good at creating stories you'd like to read.

Oh, my God.

When I read the Harry Potter part of your comment, I was ready to jump in with a rec and be all like, "No, no, this one really is better than canon; you just haven't read it yet!!"

This is it.

I have become that one fan.

I see my hands -- they are normal hands, but they seem alien to me. Like the hands of a stranger. These hands, which I foolishly accepted as familiar and unchanging.

What am I?

The fire beckons. Throw yourself in before it's too late. You must die... but you can still die as you.

Don't let it win anon. DON'T LET IT WIN

Oh god. Me too.

Is this the real life or is this just fantasy? Too late, my time has come.

Absolutely this.

Whenever I see Hetalia fans with this attitude, their "superior headcanon" is usually a serious take on antropomorphic countries with lots of angst, death, a more accurate way of handling serious issues etc. If that's what they like, they can go ahead and have fun with it, but they shouldn't claim it's better than canon because Hetalia is a gag manga and not meant to be anything else.

All I can say to this is: Agreed.
