God of War, of all games, acknowledging and making loot gremlin behavior canon is so fucking funny. Kratos canonically wanders off mid-missions to break random chests and steal from coffins. Atreus copies him. Atreus defends him by saying "well he likes be throughout," while his dad is behind him demolishing every vase in the room for a few gow equivalent of cents, instead of simply reaching inside or toppling them over. Hilarious concept and execution.

a handprint made in concrete is just the image of a hand, it’s not the real thing. or, it’s the absence of a hand, more than anything, the negative space. the casing around where it should be. it’s an indent that was made from something real - that could not have existed without something real - but it’s not the real thing, it’s just trying to be. maybe it’s not even trying. you put your hand there with your mother and the concrete remembers, and the handprint doesn’t even know why it exists, it just does. if we can make copies and not-things from real things in the world, who’s the say the world couldn’t do that itself? does it even need to know why?

rocky always yells “enrichment for grace! enrichment for grace!” when he has a new invention to make the humans time more interesting on erid. grace, while appreciative, replies ‘I know I’m in a zoo enclosure but could we maybe not call it that? I feel like a bear getting thrown a pumpkin covered in peanut butter.’ rocky simply gives him a thumb, not wanting to explain that a significant amount of the population sees grace as the celebrity savior scientist who rocky keeps as a controversially young trophy wife and publicly lavishes in gifts

There's a pattern when it comes to witcher fics. Everyone's Eskel is game!Eskel. Everyone's Jaskier is Netflix!Jaskier. Geralt depends on whether the author actually likes Geralt as a character or has the hots for Henry Cavil. Lambert you can never tell until they mention his hair color. Aiden isn't in the show but everyone has a different version of him because he's a collective OC. Vesemir is just Vesemir.
