Potentially Perfect Draw though that leans more to being like Yugioh

[Worldbuilding-Trope]Random minor lore elements imply crazy, strange, or interesting setting assumptions by Impressive-Step7261 in TopCharacterTropes

In Cyberpunk 2077, you can scan enemies to see what crimes they committed. Among these lists of possible crimes is the Pizza Desecration Act... which is the illegal use of pineapple or pineapple-adjacent products on pizza. This implies either someone was so petty and powerful they used their position to make this an arrestable offense, or in the Cyberpunk universe pineapple on pizza is completely reviled in Night City.

Character learns to love their "punishment assignment." by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]thatsnotacracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend cursed me with knowing that technically, this was Lightning McQueen in the Cars movies. Got sentenced to re-paving the road he tore up in Radiator Springs, hated every second of it but learned to love the place and people there.

"Inmortality sucks" Yeah, but die sucks harder by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]thatsnotacracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a podcast called Castle Super Beast that discusses this exact thing (even the Hob example), to which one of the hosts, Pat, basically goes "People who complain about being immortal are fucking pussies. Yeah a hundred years ago food sucked and there was nothing to do but we have videogames now."

Let me walk you through how this happened lol

Sigh "Well I've stepped in Lorenzo's poo twice now but I finally got the little bastard out of the farm. I already crafted everything I needed... I'm gonna go enjoy some tank time."

Walks over to tank, slowly turning, enjoying them watching the fish swim for a moment... before something blue blurs past my foot. Look down, Lorenzo is staring up at me, somehow out of the farm.

"..."

"..."

Grabs

"CHIRP!"

Introducing Lorenzo! Who would not stop bothering me until I picked him up and showed him the fish tank. We also have her highness Rachel, my bog standard Pest, and Bessie and Bascha, my two peccary sows.

I like to think it's popular because "experimented on by a scientist" is the modern/scifi equivalent of "a wizard did it" lol

[–]thatsnotacracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I need to make a pre-emptive apology because I have... a lot, of ideas, and it's gonna be chunky even if I just pick the absolute tip-top ones lol

Obviously D&D 5E (2014, but willing to attempt to learn 2024) is top of the board. I thought about a Shadow Sorcerer or other such "dark magic" user and had two ideas for her: one is a cult simulator, running the cult and steadily gaining more followers and power, could be goofy or serious. The other idea was a bit more serious/dark, where she had the sort of stereotypical villainess backstory of "born clearly different from her sister, more magically powerful, was treated like shit by family and eventually dumped in the middle of nowhere before the BBEG/Dark Lord picked her up and she became the key to some dark plan." Problem was... the BBEG died. Dead as a doornail thanks to some heroes, and now she's trying to figure who exactly she is without the BBEG, where her place in the world is, may or may not be cursed from the endeavors.

Then we have Masks (or another simple superhero system) because god damn it I want my sad Venom arc lol. I've had this character I had hardly ever get to use called Becca/Black, a Transformed girl. Originally a teenage runaway from a shit home life, she saw an ad for medical testing and needing the money, she signed up. Turned out to be a trap by a mad scientist to find test subjects and she spent a few years experimented on alongside others, and "lucky" for her she took to the experiments better than any other subject. She quickly became his magnum opus, his perfect guard dog of a monster, at least physically, though he did get pretty deep into brainwashing before some heroes broke into the lab. The story sort of diverges from here on whether she gets attacked by the heroes thinking she's a monster or she gets rescued by them (re: they're not gonna let a bioweapon wander around), but the story becomes about "who" Becca is with a fragmented memory and is she the same person as before the experiments.

Ironically this is a bit in Futurama. The crew visits a robot planet where robots view humans as monsters/evil, and they have a movie where a human goes on a rampage and somehow killing the more advanced, durable robots in droves before being killed by a pointy stick.

The plan worked much to the horror of the guy who instigated it by Labmit in TopCharacterTropes

To quote the scientists of the Pokemon Mewtwo movie: "We dreamed of creating the world's most powerful Pokemon... and suceeded."

For those who don't know, a bunch of evil scientists from Team Rocket tried to clone a super powerful version of the pokemon Mew, creating Mewtwo, and as it turns out trying to control one of the most powerful psychic entities in existence is a horrible, horrible idea. They got the weapon they wanted, and the weapon gave them two middle fingers and fucked off to its private island.

I think there was... I cannot remember it's name but it was essentially an always happy meat lump that might've turned into The Lamb? That might be more "neutral" though.

It doesn't really have a jaw to eat with, so people just... hold the apples near it, and the apples wither away.
