What fans of a story or piece of media (show(s), movie(s), book(s) etc.) tend to imagine happened (though unspecified by the creators). Headcanons are usually, but not always, actually plausible to the story, though some fans tend to headcanonize things that are contradictory to the word of the creator or the show itself.
