One of the keystones of the myth of the universal tabletop RPG is the conflation of genre and milieu, citing the fact that a given system can be adapted to multiple settings as evidence that it's unopinionated about what kinds of stories it wants to produce.

When extended beyond putatively setting-agnostic systems, this conflation of genre and milieu can – and often does – lead to the misconception that if two non-setting-agnostic RPGs have roughly similar settings, or centre roughly similar types of player characters, then those two RPGs must be basically interchangeable.

It's from this thought process that you end up with posts like the one I bumped into this morning which, in response to the same proposed premise, proceeded to recommend both Bunnies & Burrows and Toon.

(For the unacquainted, the principal media touchstones for Toon are Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, and to a lesser extent, The Tom and Jerry Show. Bunnies & Burrows, meanwhile, is an unofficial but more-or-less direct adaptation of Watership Down. These games will both let you play as talking cartoon rabbits, but in very different ways!)

oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

DC comics will be like “Bruce Wayne was a playboy billionaire, the sexiest man in the room, alluring” and then draw him like a fucking potato
