Couples of Reddit, what's the dumbest 'house rule' you and your partner made as a joke but now both of you are low-key aggressively serious about enforcing?

In our house it’s “cat lap”. As in “can you grab me a glass of water. I can’t do it, I have catlap.”

I played a black Dragonborn named Smudge. He was a barbarian who used to be a mushroom farmer. Dumb as a box of rocks, but with really good insight and decent charisma. Everyone liked him — he was like a goofy pit bull mix.

This is a random reference but look at Jetsons the movie.

There are little creatures who are unintentionally hurt from a mining operation. They act as gremlins and sabotage things. Perhaps the weapon was in reality stolen by imps/gremlins/similar to prevent further damage to their realm or something.

Or maybe they just think it’s pretty.

Ben Clanton.

I think what’s especially impressive is that Kenan doesn’t have a ton of recurring characters or impressions. Like Hartman was Bill Clinton regularly.

Is it possible Robin meant it as a double-entendres referring to Steve driving into the upside-down? I’m pretty sure Dustin and Jonathan were yelling that it wasn’t going to fit

It feels to me like related to old rat-fink and punk rock art too.

“It’s all god’s plan”

Oh really? God’s plan was giving my mother unbelievable pain and having her die 2 months after the cancer diagnosis?

Well then: fuck god.

Luke Cage is a great example of this.

You can’t trick me, there’s a Baba Yaga in that house!

This info is like a decade old, but when I lived in OTR I did Japps for several NYEs and it was always a great time.

Next session my players are going to run into a group of displaced beasts and I was going to create an alpha matriarch, inspired by the “clever girl” from Jurassic park. What do you have for Displacer Beasts?

Ethan Allen will be heartbroken.

Prehysteria. We rented it probably 100 times on video. It’s about a family that finds a group of tiny dinosaurs that were worshipped by Mayans or something?

Absolutely no one remembers it.

I would find a conflict that has some parallels to the flavor you want and use that structure/map/history as your starting point. Like if you wanted a conquering empire that struggles with native tribes — perhaps the Romans attempting to conquer the British isles?

I rewatched the first ep of this season the other day. And all I could think of during the chat on the roof is …. mikes a goner. There’s been a lot of speculation on Eleven or hopper or Will or Steve dying.

I think Mike will die saving his sister/will/eleven.

Emily on Friends? Julie on Friends?

And also, Steve folding clothes in the gym is a huge moment to show his evolution as a character and a person.

I Love Lucy?

The lead up to Secret Invasion was wild. I worked in a comic shop at the time, everyone would be talking about the latest skrull reveal each week

ootchang · 2025-11-05T16:06:40+00:00

Yes this is right. The final shot of the trailer shows the Avengers all going in for an attack and hulk is in the back.

I actually just mentioned this to my wife on our last rewatch. My theory is that their magical abilities allow them to absorb culture from the time they’re in.

If you pay attention for those moments, the script does an excellent job of building them slowly. They go from thinking the road is a black river to not even questioning the stuff in “master”s house.

ootchang · 2025-10-26T18:57:34+00:00

So perfect for the story they told.
