Spoilers How literal is LD in your headcanon?

Only if we take Freeecloud as a prime example of all of Federation life.

"After twenty years of floating in space, she's back...and the galaxy will not be safe."
Too fun and inventive for the live action folks.
And they'll just visually retcon Peanut Hamper to be twice as big and a different color.
The court martial of Peanut Hamper.
Riker: "Is it just me or did Starfleet put a talking camping lantern on trial?"
Now hey, are you the same as you were 20 years ago?

Depends on which part of me we're talking about.
And...I've said too much.
And...I've said too much.
I didn't find the setting dreary at all. Picard's story starts out but doesn't end there .I didn't see Freecloud as dreary at all.
I thought Freecloud was outside of the Federation?
One of these days someone is going to have to explain 'headcanon' to me.
Despite the common belief to the contrary, the entire concept of canon is a transitory artificial construct that has no practical application beyond its immediate necessity, save to serve as interpretive background decoration. It is literally fictive ornamentation for the brain. So the whole concept of "head canon" is kind of redundant, especially considering said interpretation exists solely on the viewer's end.
The entire concept of 'adhering to canon' is very new, only really surfacing within the last decade and a half or so. And is really just a marketing tactic used to placate and pander to a small few.
The reality, however, is that "canon violation" is a misnomer. The only continuity anystory plot is beholden to is that of its own creation. Everything else is spice. Therefore talking dogs with JenShep's voice or talking Deltas with Jack McBrayer's are every bit as 'canon' as singing space hippies and alien visages of Abraham Lincoln.

Head canon is an oxymoron that answers "what would the universe of my fan fic consist of."

I treat head canon as stuff I take seriously. Ultimately, it's all canon and I have no say over it; only what I watch.
I have still yet to parse exactly where the importance of canon came from but it is something that makes very little sense to me. No one has been able to answer to me what canon status means in terms of enjoyment,
The only folks canon applies to is the folks working on the shows and licensed material. It is as applicable to me as the employment rules at Walmart, which I do not work for.
I only use headcanon to fill in gaps. And, even then, there are very few that I actually adopt.
One time I heard on here someone's theory that the reason there was a 20-year-gap between the Enterprise-C and the Enterprise-D was out of respect for the crew of the Enterprise-C, which was lost with all hands. The ship can be replaced, but the crew can't be. So there wasn't another ship and crew until there would've been another ship or crew anyway, even if the C hadn't been destroyed.
I liked that explanation. A lot. So that headcanon worked for me.
Which is why I have no issues with DSC and TOS existing together.
