30 Days of Blake's 7 - day 21

Day 21: Favourite fanon/headcanon

I might be wrong, but to me those are two different things: fanon is popular among fans, and headcanon is mine.
 

Fanon

I'm pretty much happy to accept anything in a fic that doesn't contradict canon. Popular ones I've encountered: 

• Avon is delicate and allergic to lots of things, and has insomnia
• Avon has back problems (from a mention in Horizon)
• Avon likes ice cream (based on Gambit?) - also my headcanon
• Avon is a gourmet and connoisseur - another one I've adopted
• Blake likes nature and the outdoors (he didn't seem to in TWB; maybe something he'd forgotten)
• Vila sleeps with the light on (maybe based on his "Ah, don't leave me here, at least leave me a torch. I don't like the dark. I like to see what I'm scared of." in The Keeper)
• Vila is vegetarian (as he says in Killer) - also my headcanon

I don't like "Avon is telepathic or empathic", despite it being popular, because to me, he's the least likely to be.
 

Headcanon which isn't also fanon

I'm not that consistent, but these I've used a few times.

• Blake played rugby at school and uni (Belhangria?) and likes real ale
• Vila is vegetarian and likes cheesy toast and hot curries, as does Gan (Avon loathes them)
• Vila is empathic (senses danger, affects the teleport when unwilling to go, Cally receives his strong feelings and pain)
• Vila is resistant to drugs and possibly alcohol (readjustment doesn't stick, he sobers up immediately in Gambit when he finds himself in the chair)
• Avon does not like large bodies of water (due to bullying in the school swimming pool as a nerdy kid)
• Cally has strange tastes in food, liking weird flavour combos, and has a surprisingly large appetite
