re: finding platonic explanations for things you cannot even imagine, I'd like to see an aromantic jealousy plot for a change. Character A is seethingly jealous of Character B's love interest but it's not because they're romantically interested in B, it's because they're aro and B is the most important person in their life and this is an unwelcome reminder that they will always come second to a traditional romantic partner in society's eyes and possibly B's as well.

And honestly you don't even need a powerful interpersonal connection to activate Hater Mode. I wasn't that close to any of my middle school classmates and I certainly wasn't interested in them romantically, but I was still so sick of hearing about the boy band guys they had crushes on that I fantasized about Justin Bieber dying in a plane crash. Not my most hinged of moments but idk what to tell you, middle school was a bad time

Isekai where Truck-kun gets the Chosen One while they're on their way to a field trip. Just plows into the entire goddamn school bus.

Now in addition to the Chosen One, they have an entire class's worth of the Chosen One's peers and one poor teacher who was chaperoning them all stranded in the other world.

Reading the Land Before Time liveblogs by @pushovermediacritic has me thinking they should do one of those "All Grown Up" sequels where Littlefoot and the others are adults now, living in the Great Valley and teaching about the Beyond.

And there are hijinx and also adult responsibilities and taking care of kids, and multiple references to the Beyond. There's dangerous stuff out in the Beyond.

Late in the movie, Cera's dad has a line like, "Yeah, we used to call it the Mysterious Beyond, but those kids just kept on going out there until it just ran out of mysteries."

“Ariel sold her voice for legs just because of a guy“

Meanwhile Ariel with legs;

Ariel already loved the human world long before meeting Eric (you don’t get a collection like hers overnight) and when she finally got a chance to explore it, she took it.

Ursula made it more about Eric than Ariel ever did.

I've been thinking of the "Can Granny Weatherwax beat Bugs Bunny" question and this is my full take for Discworld characters:

Vimes - Cares too much, too easy to piss off. Has the innate chase instinct that makes characters run into walls with realistic tunnels painted on them. Might get to arrest Bugs Bunny but the beast will just slip out of the handcuffs to help him lock them, then walk out of the jail cell to have a union mandated coffee break.

Ridcully - Classic hunting season scenario, but has enough charisma to probably still get a few good shots off before the inevitable.

Rest of the wizards - No survivors, only Bugs.

Carrot - The intense near-magical narrative aura of well meaning innocence should make him immune, Bugs will likely be forced to be the villain of the episode.

Lord Vetinari - Flattened by a comically large anvil in the first few minutes of the episode, unclear if it was all a part of his long term strategy or not.

Moist - Has the 'lovable trickster getting away with it' energy, but nowhere near Bugs level. Already fell for the "old lady who swallowed a fly" scenario with the stamp slugs once, won't fare any better here.

Death - Definitely one of those "character is trying to avoid death" episodes, would go back and forth. Might actually get to end Bugs but his spirit will reappear in Death's domain and ruin his garden.

Nanny Ogg - The ultimate in anti-Bugs technology, a gleefully annoying old lady who doesn't give a fuck and definitely won't be the first to instigate the plot bearing conflict. This is a full sweep, he's the episode antagonist.

Granny Weatherwax - Too win-motivated to not lose. Would have to break the story to have any chance. Might do it.

Magrat - Will have sappy ideas about helping the poor animal which honestly has the 50:50 chance of either getting slapsticked or Bugs ending in a ye olde stroller&pacifier gag.

Colon&Nobby - Designed in a lab to be totaled by Bugs Bunny.

Tiffany Aching - A child that also has a large pan that is the perfect thing to hit someone over the head with and make a BOIOIOINGGG sound, so great odds.

I mean, if you think about it, a dungeon full of weird porn traps is kind of ideal for a D&D lich. Depending on what specific version of the rules we're talking about, their natural immunities encompass paralysis, poison, ability drain, fatigue, all mind-altering effects, and anything that forces a Fortitude/Constitution save, which notably includes nearly all polymorph effects. They could fill a dungeon with goofy TF traps and hypno shit and not even need to remember what they put where because they're not affected by any of it. Awkward if you ever have non-undead guests, of course, but such is the price of convenience!
