[Picture is a simple blueprint of the first floor of a house, showing the entry, a staircase, a hallway, an office, the living room, the kitchen with a back door, and the dining room.]

I almost always have a mental image of what a character's place looks like when I'm reading fic (general idea of a floor plan, what furniture they have and where it is, etc.). If something in canon (whether it's because it's revealed after I thought of my mental image, or because I forgot about something) or in a fic contradicts my mental image, I spend a lot of time trying to reconcile it, and if I can't, I happily ignore it in favor of my mental image.

[Picture of the blueprint.] This is one of my headcanon houses.

It's never a deliberate thing to think up my mental image. I just sorta realize halfway through a random fic, 'oh yeah, I totally know what their house would look like'.

Bonus secret: Sometimes I find myself reusing a mental place, or elements of it, kind of like the previous owner moved out and someone else moved in.
