Inspiration for AUs and Headcanons

[fleurviolette]

 Where do you find inspiration for an AU or a headcanon?

Maybe it could be from an elaborate plot of a book, movie, or even tv? Or maybe the inspiration comes from a youtube video of someone eating an entire menu in a moving truck?

I'm just curious to find out, because sometimes inspiration can be found somewhere unexpected.

Random minor scenes that could have been expanded and taken characters in different directions. Those have a tendency to make me "What If" and develop them... to the point of making new headcanons as the characters interact.

Yes, I agree. Sometimes I think about 'what if' scenarios and it evolves into a new au, or a new headcanon that expands on the character.
