"Headcanon" is when a fan of a work of fiction creates an explanation or event in their heads.
For example, one might create a "headcanon" around explaining something left unexplained in a book or movie, and choose to believe the explanation that sounds best to you, even though it doesn't change anything in the actual book or movie. That is to say, you create a "canon" (continuity) in your head.
Canon is pronounced like "Cannon", a type of weapon that fires projectiles using explosions.

Edit: Let's go with that ^
Here, the cannon became real because he got the other guy to believe in it.
