This is a little something that's been bouncing in my head for a while...

Start with Harley Quinn from Gotham City Sirens just wandering through the streets minding her own business. She finds a little girl crying outside a run-down gymnasium. Harley asks what wrong. The little girl says she just can't get the moves coach wants her to do. Harley, ex-champion gymnast, calms the girl down and slowly but surely helps the girl figure out how to do the moves.

Harley and the little girl go back inside the gym to find a frazzled, overextended coach. It's a one person operation, and there's too much to do, and not enough help or money to do it. Harley offers to help out a little bit, and quickly discovers she has a knack for coaching the girls.

Fast forward a few weeks later, and the coach has bad news. The landlord wants them out so he can convert the building to condos. Harley decides to go persuade him otherwise... like Mister J would. But just before she's about to spring her trap on the landlord, Batman heads her off with a message. Go to the warehouse district.

There she finds Bruce Wayne waiting for her. He tells Harley Batman's been keeping an eye on her, and watching her work with the girls. He heard about the landlord, and decided to help. He opens the door, and reveals a state of the art training facility, where the girls, in brand new gear, are waiting eagerly for Harley to arrive.

We fast forward again, and this is what I've been leading up to, we're at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The new Fab Five US gymnastics team are all in Harley's old costume, and Harley herself is the coach.

Someday I'd like to commission that from someone, but with six people in the picture, it's a good $200 at least.

But yeah, that's how I'd like to see the story go.

Shepard died during the events on the catalyst, and all that god-child shit afterwards was just a hallucination as he faded into the abyss, Taxi Driver style.

Frozen spoiler.

At the end of Frozen, Hans apparently draws a sword, and tries to kill Elsa with it. However, in the shot immediately preceding that, when he's talking to Elsa, he clearly has no sword.

I believe Elsa conjured a sword for Hans, because she wants him to kill her.

Anakin used the Force to make Padme love him. It was a theory my friend had before the third prequel and I think it's great to keep him an evil, reprehensible character.

Sonic and Shadow are brothers, and after experimenting with the affects of chaos radiation Sonic warped fifty years into the future while Shadow remained to be experimented on. Neither remembers because Shadow's numerous experiments on him, and the stress of using Chaos power at such a young age induced massive mental stress on Sonic's psyche.

Makes more sense than Shadow being a cyborg alien clone.

Hey when they met their gender swapped counterparts, they outright said they could have sex.[DOUBLEPOST=1407522196,1407522082][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, it was funny how they had to keep dressing him in baggy clothing to cover the fact that he was ripped but playing a dork.

Never read any of it. I know Voyager ruins that theory though (among a lot of other things).

I believe the theory is that the race that Voyager met was actually the borg. It was assimilated and somehow broke away from the collective and as we've seen, borg who are separated from the collective do not adjust well. That's why Vger is now trying to find it's creator.

The events of The Road to El Dorado take place and unfold the way they do because of a revolution among the gods of El Dorado. They believe that Tzekel-Kan needs to be removed but, since they cannot intervene directly (and because they have already given TK so much power), they recruit a pair of ne'er-do-wells from across the world to unseat him. All the coincidences that occur happen because of their intervention, including the ability for everyone to understand each others' language. Once the job is done, this magic evaporates, leaving a suprised Tulio and Chel suddenly unable to understand each other (though giving them something to work through while they grow as a couple) but also ensuring that Tzekel-Kan can't try to convince Cortez of the validity of his story before he is disposed of.

Thats kinda far fetched. What woman wouldn't get turned on by genocide and hating sand?


My Star Wars one is that the prophecy's balance meant number of Jedi = number of Sith. I only consider this headcanon because George has specifically said its not true. But if its not true, what does that "A prophecy if misread, terrible consequences, could have" line mean?

Well, I'm pretty sure the prophecy was referring to Luke, not Anakin. That's how I interpreted it.

Wonder Woman headcanon:
Themyscira’s Greek/Roman architecture is painted in gaudy colors, like the Parthenon originally was, and every time Diana has to visit Washington D.C. she rolls her eyes at the bland white buildings.

Psycho Pirate Headcanon:

After becoming the third Psycho Pirate and gaining his composure over his ultimate understanding of the DC universe, James Highwater decides to become a superhero and use the powers of the Medusa Mask for good. Instead of you know, making Roger Hayden come out of limbo to sell his sould for a lame power-up and completely forget the closure he gained at the end of "Deus ex Machina."

Forrest Gump headcanon:

Forrest wasn't actually mentally retarded. Remember, he was diagnosed in the 1950's, when developmental disorders were not well understood. Yet when we see him faced with learning new tasks, including fairly involved mechanical tasks (taking apart and reassembling his rifle in boot camp), he not only learns, but learns them well in short order. He also manages to pass through regular school at the same rate as Jenny, including graduating high school and football and even college (yes, being a football player probably helped a lot). However, he is extremely literal, socially awkward, and doesn't really grasp the bigger picture, instead focusing on what's in front of him. He also has obsessive behavior patterns - the running, mowing the grass, naming all the Bubba-Gump Shrimp Company boats "Jenny", reciting his mother's wisdom, etc.

Forrest Gump wasn't retarded. He was on the autism spectrum, probably under PDD-NOS (pervasive development disorder - not otherwise specified).

So, what is a headcanon? Just something you believe to be true about a fictional universe?

Basically. "In my head, this is what happens / this is the cause of what happens, because that makes more sense to me." It's ignoring the established canon in favor of something you like better.

I prefer to think of it as "making an assertion of something that isn't covered/contradicted by canon material, based on principles that are consistent with canon." If enough people come to accept a headcanon idea, it becomes fanon.

Something can't be any flavor of canon if it's directly contradicted by canonical material.

I don't know, the first time I saw the term was in a comic by David Willis - It's Walky, maybe? Where the character was talking about something that happened in a movie or show he liked, and he said, "I'm excluding that from my personal headcanon".

YMMV I suppose. Fans gonna disagree about everything, even the terminology they use to disagree with their fandom.
