The Witcher series is actually a medieval fantasy romance novel written by a middle school girl, but her younger brother keeps sneaking in to steal her journal and write “and then the snot monster eats their faces off”, so rather than ignore his notes when she gets her journal back, the author has Geralt kill the monster before getting back to the romance plot.
I hate hate HATE all those 2edgy 4me theories about kids shows. Like Angelica dreaming up the rugrats, or the ed, edd, and eddy children being ghosts, or literally anything that takes a lighthearted and fun kids show and has to turn it into some tragic take of rape or murder or misinformed mental illness.
So you know what? From now on I’m gonna do the exact opposite. Every cool grim-dark show is now because of a bunch of children. To get us started:
Game of Thrones: A middle-school DnD campaign with the most angry, vindictive DM who has promised to kill everyone’s player characters (and their family) by the end.
