Combining Character and Relationship Headcanons for Stronger Fic

Getting a ship to feel real often means nailing both the individuals and the “third entity” between them. The AI Headcanon Generator gives you two tools that work best when used in order.

Step 1: Lock in each character

Use the Character Headcanon Generator for each main character. Focus on habits, internal thoughts, or “reactions to small inconveniences.” Save a few results per character so you have a small “soul file.” If you skip this and go straight to relationship dynamics, the chemistry can feel generic.

Step 2: Add the relationship layer

Once you have a sense of who they are alone, open the Relationship Headcanon Generator. Enter the same characters and choose tone and focus (e.g. domestic, tense, pining). The generator will give you micro-rituals and tensions that fit those two people, not “any couple.” That’s the layer that makes readers believe the ship.

Step 3: Use both when you draft

While writing, keep both lists open: character habits for “what would they do here?” and relationship headcanons for “how do they act together?” One detail from each is often enough to ground a scene. You can access both tools from the homepage anytime—no need to remember separate links.

Extra: random and incorrect quotes

If dialogue or tone feels off, try the Random or Incorrect Quotes generators as a quick voice check. Everything stays one click away on the AI Headcanon Generator main page.
