1- Wait, This is Headcanon?

The source material doesn't explicitly say that the headcanon is true, but it really strongly implies it, to the point that a lot of people don't even realize it's not explicit canon. I'm not talking ships so much as just really obvious details that aren't quite spelled out.

2- Interpretative Headcanon

The headcanon is based on something in the source material, and it's a valid interpretation, but there are a lot of ways to interpret the thing in the source, and it could easily and justifiably be read quite differently. This is also often mistaken for explicit canon.

3- Borderline Headcanon

The headcanon is spun off from something in the source material and doesn't contradict anything in it, but the basis is ephemeral enough that it's mostly something you/someone else/the fandom made up and ran with.

4- Classic Headcanon

The headcanon is not directly based on canon details. It's made up to fill those fun blank spaces in canons, and to connect things we do know. So it works with what's established in canon and can lead to really fun and interesting spins on canon, but it definitely leans more towards invention.

5- This Headcanon Has Creaky Floorboards

The headcanon is not only stuff you/I/fandom made up to go with canon details, it can actually be fairly difficult to reconcile with those details. It's technically possible to make them fit if you squint and interpret in some specific and improbable ways, but it's an obvious stretch. (This sounds negative, but sometimes canon details suck.)

6- HeadCANNON

“Huh. You’re fucked up.”

“Yeah, I kind of have to be to like you, right?”
