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.

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.
