 Stand back people, I got this.

What's your favorite head canon?  Could be for your canon, or someone else's.  Does it fix a canon issue?  Is it just fluff?  Was it your own or someone else's?

Bonus points for sharing a piece of your own head canon for each of your pups.

I tend to fix canon issues with head canon!

Take Ibani, for instance. In game, you start your force training as an adult and your training is complete in something like a day. While this works for a video game, it doesn't mesh with what we know of how training works. Also, the only thing the game tells you about your background is that you were a slave before you were discovered to be Force Sensitive.

As for Kreyu, my dragon from the Fireborn RPG, I've head canoned that, thanks to being a species of immortals that don't reproduce, they don't create offspring when shapeshifted either. That's a handy reason for there not being scads of dragon descendants running around the Mythic era.

And lastly I have Annabelle Newfield (aeons_crackshot) who is waiting for a canon reboot. I'm proud of my headcanon for her death, since I was stuck with her dying young and it having something to do with Michael Donighal. (White Wolf put that information in the game book's GLOSSARY of all places. THE GLOSSARY.) If I was stuck with a betrayal, I was going to make it one for heroic reasons, darn it!

My favourite head canon for Tess is how she spent her time in California after Oliver dumped her. Since she was alone and penniless, I have head cannoned that she went to work for a surf shop on the beach. She had a blast, learned how to surf and gave scuba lessons/tours for tourists. Then Lex found her and things went downhill again, but it was a fun year for her.

Sasha has a whole bunch of millicanon documented on his profile because the game really doesn't show much of anything beyond the camp. The bit that still makes me grin a little is "The first man on the moon in his timeline was Alexei Leonov, in 1971", which I made up specifically in order to tell aaaaaaaagh_sky, and bingo.

In an unrelated but also massively crossed-over universe, A Miracle of Science is the distant backstory of Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars.

I love this topic! I use head canon for several things; fixing problems I have with canon, understanding or making the pup more relatable to me, something that adds depth to a secondary character, or just something that amuses me. That said:

Ahsoka: Doesn't quite know how to handle attraction. This is in part to Jedi training/dogma but also unfamiliarity to it. I also see her somewhat aromantic, as she has things to do and romance isn't one of them. She is bisexual or pansexual though.

Quinlan: His impulsiveness is actually partially his trust in the Force and partially an act. If you seem to be flippant, folks don't pay as much attention to you or disregard you. Also, Ibani-mun and I are head-canonning that Quin's wife, Khaleen, is distantly related to Ibani.

Laidaeg: Gets stuck in ruts.

Rollo: I'm sort of seeing him as a Fafnir-like character. I need to read the Ring Saga to really cement this, but at first blush, it makes sense to me.

And I have too many distractions happening in my home right now. More later maybe.

Clem is very not dead and living with Garcia on his houseboat.
