It’s my headcannon that they eventually make it back home, but we’ll never know because the series ended with them attempting to escape.

headcannon

A miniature cannon mounted on one’s head. Used mainly to prank unsuspecting friends. A headcannon is very difficult to ignore.

Headcannon

A Headcannon is a story (or really anything) that is added on to or changed in a persons mind. For example, in Undertale, someone may make up a story on how Papyrus joined the Royal guard, since this doesn't happen in-game, this makes it someone's headcannon. Headcannons usually aren't shared, but you can find headcannons of many things on many different social platforms.
Person 1: "That doesn't happen in the story."
Person 2: I know, its my personal headcannon.

headcanon

Used by followers of various media of entertainment, such as television shows, movies, books, etc. to note a particular belief which has not been used in the universe of whatever program or story they follow, but seems to make sense to that particular individual, and as such is adopted as a sort of "personal canon". Headcanon may be upgraded to canon if it is incorporated into the program or story's universe.
In my headcanon, John and Mary bicker like siblings when they're around each other... They just seem like they're brother and sister to me!

Headcanon

(also written as "head canon," but it's really one word.)

An idea, belief, or aspect of a story that is not mentioned in the media itself, but is accepted by either the media consumer themselves or the fandom in general. If it is confirmed by the creator of the story, it becomes canon.
In Homestuck , a popular webcomic , many suspect the headcanon that the trolls are carnivores, because of their natural homicidal tendencies and sharp teeth. It's never explicitly stated in the comic that this is true, but it'd be kind of dumb to assume they're a race known for salads and ice cream sundaes.
