Anon, fandoms are all huge coping mechanisms. You see exquisite headcanons everywhere, some of which are so good you end up wishing the guy was actually in charge of writing the anime. When GQuuuuuuX was airing, I remember reading so many fucking theories that went nowhere. There was this random comment by some guy that stuck with me, about a painting featured during Gihren's assassination, Moreau's The Apparition, and then going on about the history and meaning of the painting and how this all symbolised that Gihren wasn't actually dead after being featured for just 30 seconds. It's all a huge cope. Sometimes there are some rare instances where you actually click with a work and it's almost like you can predict the future in a quasi-flow state, but this usually requires either a rare empathetic affinity with the author and/or for the work to be actually good and having some sort of rational structural meaning. Anime isn't a medium known for high discipline when it comes to writing and there are very few exceptions to this.
My favourite headcanon probably has to be the deliciously autiste "analysis" of Flip Flappers, and the deep symbolism about placenta eating. Though this was, I suspect, tongue-in-cheek and not actually a self-serious analysis of the anime.
