Headcanon #1

I don't think I had too many headcanons--probably none, actually. Except the slightly meta one in which Nine regenerated into Ten with the intent to impress Rose, and Ten regenerated into Eleven with the intent of not impressing anyone (female-wise), but instead being more like the absent minded professor in Voyage of the Damned and being very much like Wilfred Mott.

but I just came up with another one.

While trying to figure out if I should watch Firefly or not I came across a sentence that says Joss Whedon said in a commentary, "bad guys wear hats, good guys don't."

And it seems to make an awful lot of sense if you think about it.

Then I thought of the Eleventh Doctor and how he loves his hats and I started thinking, "Well, that disproves that notion."

And then I recalled his darker moments--

And then I remembered every time River Song shot his hats off.

Headcanon: she's making him a good guy.

(though the First/Last Night minisodes kind of ruin this, as he appears to frequently wear a top hat and it seems sparklingly intact. And the first time River saw him he was wearing it. Maybe she lets him have the top hat because the top hat is okay and reminds her of just how far he'll go to save those he cares about.)

(or maybe she just found something fun to do to keep him on his toes. Far more likely.)
