Bored

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] avocado_love.

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal headcanon.

I know I've done this before, but I'm bored and need a distraction. Just make sure I know the fandom before you name someone =O

"Headcanon" is basically an individual fan's personal image of the parts of a story or world that we never really saw.

For example, my personal ideas on how Fire Nation politics and upbringing worked during the rules of Sozin, Azulon, and Ozai would be by "headcanon" of that time period.

Sometimes a piece of one fan or group of fan's headcanon will popularize via their theories and/or fanfic to the point that it becomes "fanon" (and if the series is continued, some people's headcanons might turn out to closely fit to what ends up being actual canon).

Oh, ok. I'm familiar with the idea of "fanon", but not with any Last Airbender characters, as that's a kid's cartoon. XD I KEEP POINTING THIS OUT! I HAVEN'T WATCH NICKELODEON SINCE THEY STOPPED SHOWING ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE! But no, I know what "fanon" is. The pokemon fandom has introduced me to some... interesting fandom quirks, including fanon and *shudder* shipping...
