why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?
And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.

A trivia not many people know about: the Humperdinck opera of "Hansel and Gretel" is NOT based on the story by the brothers Grimm.
While, yes, the "Hansel and Gretel" story most well-known and famous today is the version given to us by the Grimm, there was actually another collector and writer of fairytales who was much more successful and more well-known than the Grimms back in the 19th century Germany. It was Ludwig Bechstein, who published a collection of fairytales a few decades after the Grimms released theirs - and he immediately overshadowed them in German literature. The German children of the 19th century were more aware of the Bechstein tales than the Grimm's.
And in his collection Bechstein wrote several fairytales that were alternative versions of the Grimms - including his own version of "Hansel and Gretel". The Humperdinck opera is not an adaptation of the brothers Grimm story - but of Bechstein's own take on the fairytale. You notice this due to a lot of small details in the opera that can be found only in Bechstein's version of the tale, not the Grimm's version.

A proposal
Sometimes, in fandom, we just want to write id-tastic fic that rolls around in tropes that might be viewed as problematic. But we don’t want to address the problematic side of things in this particular fanwork; we just want to roll around and wallow.
It is considered courteous to give readers a heads-up via use of AO3 tags. I propose a tag that signals that a given fanwork is for rolling around, not giving a measured evaluation of anything. The MCU has carved out a space for this sort of fic with the “HYDRA Trash Party” tag, for which I commend them. Trash Party is a bit too specific to cover all of the ground I’m thinking of here, though; I propose “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.”
For those of you not familiar with Arrested Development, Michael Bluth finds a paper bag in the freezer labeled “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.” He opens the bag, finds a dead dove, and reacts as follows:
[gif of a white man saying “I don’t know what I expected” in a deadpan manner]
The “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag would essentially be a “what it says on the tin” metatag, indicating “you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.”
