Hi thanks for answering my question about headcanons!! Yes in many ways i agree with what you've said but my biggest peeve is whenever people claim that their headcanon or interpretation is accurate to canon when in reality calling an ice cube the sun is more accurate. I find this comes especially from the bill fans, mostly because tbob has actually deluded people into thinking they are the spokesperson for bill cipher of all characters but thats a topic for another day. What are some of your unpopular or not discussed about headcanons?
Oh yeah. I can see where you're coming from there. Not to name drop any headcanon, but I have seen cases where fans act like some headcanon is fact or make up some claim that Alex Hirsch has confirmed it but then never provide proof. It's one thing to headcanon, but if you gaslight people into thinking it's true, that kind of takes away from the headcanon as now it just feels like you're forcing people to believe it or else be left feeling they are wrong for thinking otherwise.
At the end of the day, for me, canon is whatever happened in Gravity Falls itself and the shorts, Journal 3 and Alex Hirsch's word. Lost Legends is canonish and The Book of Bill is only factual wherever Bill did not write in it as Bill's word is not verifiable due to the fact he lies more than the Ontario government does. Headcanons are all fun and for fans by fans.
Not gonna go into any unpopular headcanons as I'm not really wanting to stir debate, but long story shot, whatever you headcanon, enjoy it and if others do too, that's great. But don't force a headcanon on someone or gaslight them into thinking it is canonical when not. Be it a ship, view of a character, lore or more, they are yours.
