I saw you mention the potential of Luffy in Moominvalley but imagine: Snufkin in the One Piece world. He would immediately become a revolutionary.

I recently refound an old picture book version of a Chinese folktale I read as a kid that I thought had interesting parallels to the lindworm story. Similarly to the lindworm, it’s about a childless couple, although they’re farmers, and the mother finds a cucumber floating down the river and eats it, without any specific instructions. She also gives birth to just a single dragon child, and the father cuts his tail off upon seeing him and freaking out because he doesn’t realize it’s his son, making the dragon flee to live in the river. The dragon is also a completely heroic figure, and actually defeats the evil dragon that rules the nearby river and becomes its guardian spirit, which is why the river’s name was changed to Heilongjiang (Black Dragon River). He also remains a dragon, although some versions have him temporarily return in human form after growing up just to troll his dad a bit.

Something my other friends have occasionally discussed is "meta" daemon AUs of series, where we discuss how the series would have been written in a universe where daemons exist. Do you have any thoughts about how Animorphs might have been written in such a universe?

Wait, replacement??? What happened to Step????

Oh, hey, neither of those are the meat dating sim I know about. There's a Japanese one called Bacon Lettuce Biographies, which I remember reading an LP for a long long time ago.

Zack: Just discovered a neat trick. If you make brownies but don’t cut them, you can eat the whole slab and say you only ate 1 brownie

I appreciate your Harry Potter comics and how they make me realize how dramatic and ridiculous some of the scenes are. Especially those scenes that just get one background mention that you flesh out.
