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.

Sometimes in fanon, you break it down into pieces and create something new out of it. Nice!

Pretty much. One of my main fandoms is a hot mess of sci-fi with an endless amount of plotholes. Sometimes just trying to make simple things make sense involve rebuilding chunks of canon.

Oh wow! That fandom sounds like chaotic fun! I was also in a few sci-fi film and tv fandoms, although vast, but somewhat organized. The plotholes weren't too messy or drastic, thankfully.
