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.

That makes sense, trying to make sense of nonsense canon.

For your headcanons and aus, are they leaning towards serious or fun?

Keeping in mind that I haven't finished writing a piece of fiction in over a decade, and I've never finished writing down a fic (ie. I write them in my head when I can't sleep, with the agreement with myself that I'll write them if I remember them in the morning) I lean towards frivolous. Cracktastic tropes are definitely where I go when I'm thinking AU.
