Rick Riordan did that because he wanted Percy to be the demigod who fulfills the great prophecy. The prophecy says that Olympus shall fall to a child of the big three once they turn 16.

Ace Attorney is infamous for having a bizarre & inconsistent tech level, wherein they're still using old-timey security tapes but have advanced AI robots.

This is probably corruption on par with Damon Gant or Manfred Von Karma, who were respected before being dethroned. The Ace Attorney world seems to rewards abuse of the justice system so long as you can get away with it, and the trick in Apollo Justice is what makes people think that Phoenix Wright is masterful enough to do that. Therefore, Phoenix Wright is now able to be manipulative enough to be accepted in law circles and make real change.

The sorting into school houses in Harry Potter is not only depicted in the books themselves as being a tradition that not everyone is 100% pleased with, but is in fact based on a real life aspect of British-influenced education systems, particularly in boarding schools where the need for something to substitute for family has (at least historically) been significant. But yeah, the wizards' ignorance of "Muggle" behavior was definitely written in for the comedic opportunities rather than any actual logic of how life as we know it would seem to an outsider community, despite all the other opportunities for legit satire J.K.

I believe Professor McGonagall is the one who doesn't like it and wishes that they wouldn't sort the kids so young.

I always try to be positive when reading or watching showd but the ATLA comics are not the best when it comes to characterizations. Just the first chapters made Aang so trigger happy against Zuko... On the other hand, the Kyoshi books are masterpieces in my opinion.

[@LoreCatan]

@@ceve Tbf though, Aang being so trigger happy against Zuko was only because of Roku. He was so distrusting of "The Fire Nation forcefully expanding their territory" when they just wanted to unite the people that lived in the Earth Kingdom colonies, which were around for so long that the people who lived there were a mix of both Earth and Fire Nation people. Roku was also extra paranoid of Zuko planning to betray Aang behind his back, projecting that onto him so hard that Aang started to feel paranoid too. After Aang and Zuko have their big confrontation, in which they almost kill each other before they realize that "No duh! My friend doesn't secretly want to kill me!", Aang goes to talk to Roku and basically tells him "Hey, your issues are your own, I won't be taking advice from you anymore. Zuko is my friend, and I almost killed him today because of you. Uniting the nations is a good thing, and we'll keep working to achieve that. Thank you for everything, but I think it's time for you to rest", and that was that. And I honestly really like that that was a plot-point, because re-watching ATLA you can blatantly see that Roku is hot-headed, not great at communicating, stubborn and unilateral in his advice. Which worked great against a tyrannical dictator hellbent on everyone's destruction but his own - it doesn't take much to be right in that situation - but when it comes to complex/delicate political issues he completely drops the ball. I mean, he's not entirely at fault, but let's not forget that his incompetence played a role in what started the 100 year old war, ok? And I mean before the volcano, because the problem should've been solved before he ever got that old, but that's just my opinion. And I always thought that what inspired Zuko and Aang to unite the nations was Iroh. They both learned that nature and bending work in harmony best when they're connected and together: bending techniques, the swamp, the AVATAR itself, etc. It would make sense that they both reached the same conclusion, and I don't disagree, I think the world became better for it. Aang rejecting Roku is not only him rejecting the old for the (slightly less old) new, but coming into his own as the Avatar in a political sense. And it's a great post-canon add-on because of it. Tl;dr - Aang says "Ok, boomer", hits the griddy on Roku, leaves him in the dust and makes up with Zuko. It's actually a really cool plot-point.

*coughs and looks pointedly at the paradox forms of Raikou and Suicune* Yes, hi, hello, Game Freak, did you forget that these legendaries were not around from prehistoric times and came into being relatively recently according to the timeline of both universes? Why did you not make them the future paradox forms and give the Musketeers the past forms? You cannot even use the excuse of the Gen 1-5 worlds being destroyed by the Ultra Beasts since we are in a different timeline altogether since you haven't displayed that the current version of Johto has a different history yet.

@@FizzieWebb That's the main reason I believe the theory that paradox pokémon aren't *actually* from other time periods, they're just believed to be and really are physical forms of what the explorers imagined.

In the Gen 6 Pokémon games, Mega Evolution is established to be this awesome thing that can only be achieved through a trainer’s strong bond with their Pokémon. However, from a gameplay standpoint, you don’t need a strong bond with your Pokémon to Mega Evolve them; you just need the appropriate Mega Stone for their species. This is particularly egregious, since your Pokémon’s friendship and affection toward you is an actual game mechanic. To make things even more confusing, Gen 7 came along and added dex entries describing Mega Evolution as painful and miserable for Pokémon to go through. Obviously, the out-of-universe explanation for this is that the developers wanted to push Mega Evolution into the background to make room for their new mechanic, Z-Moves, but I’ve come up with a theory that makes the Mega Evolution lore make sense in-universe. I think Mega Evolution is just as wonderful as stated in Gen 6, but only if there is a truly strong bond between Pokémon and trainer. If a trainer forces Mega Evolution without that bond, it’s just as miserable and painful for the Pokémon as described in the Gen 7 dex entries.

[@Cinnamonraisin_Bagel]

I always theorised the gen 7 dex entries were to make players mortified so they could quietly take mega evolutions out, because they players wouldn't be as upset if it was a thing that potentially hurt the Pokémon. (though this is just a guess so take it was the biggest grain of salt you can muster)

​@@Cinnamonraisin_BagelThey could have just said "oh it only works in certain regions" instead

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

@Cinnamonraisin_Bagel Yeah, that’s what I think too. They wanted to get Mega Evolution out of the way to make room for Z-moves, then Dynamax, and now Terastallization. I just felt like coming up with an explanation that would make sense in the world of the games too. “Because the author wanted to write them out,” wouldn’t be an accepted explanation for a real-world phenomenon, and I wanted something that the characters could make sense of as well.

[@yellowturtle14]

​@@BJGvideosLike they did literally two generations later with Sword and Shield

[@charcoaleater343]

For the gen 7 painful megas thing, while it wasn't truly explained, i like to imagine it's because z moves don't require any sort of bond between the trainer and pokemon, and as such alolan people comparing the two stone based gimmicks just force mega evolution not knowing about the bond thing, hurting the pokemon. However that would make the "can only be achieved through a trainer and pokemons relationship" part bullshit so idk anymore

im a splatoon fan. there arent too many gripes i have, but here they are. splatfests take place over how much time in canon? a night? three nights? how much water does it take for an inkfish to die? can rain kill them? what about a shower? what happened to the octarians who heard the inkantation who werent octolings? where did they go?

[@broce8126]

I just wonder about how ink warfare works. Does it contain some sort of acid/enzyme that only targets those with a different color? We know it can harm vertebrate life like Grizz and Salmonids. Does the ink also corrode stage materials like wood or concrete? Did people actually die in the great turf war? Now we have spawners but perhaps military-grade weapons would destroy the souls of inklings and octolings, or maybe spawners weren’t invented. How does a killer wail or pearl’s voice relate to ink? How would actual kinetic weaponry like bullets or just a hammer affect an inkling? What do the adults do? Are turf war/ranked viable career paths? We know they pay money, so maybe there’s professional college and adult turf leagues like with human sports, but we only play as young inklings who have the time to play simply for fun and thus don’t see those.

Honestly, I just chuck the water thing as more of a "they're terrible swimmers as a species" and that they don't actually implode when they come in contact with water, since they'd all get wiped out the moment it starts raining.

[@Lilian040210]

[@TheMbmdcrew]

Honestly, the big thing I have to ignore when writing for the Simpsons fandom is the inaccurate way that the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is portrayed. Nuclear power plants are actually one of the cleanest energy sources we have, and the "smoke" that comes out of them is actually water vapor. Your average nuclear power plant would not produce enough waste to mutate the fish in the rivers. And yet in the show, it's continuously portrayed as a massive source of pollution, on the verge of meltdown, and having casks of nuclear waste just out in the open where anyone can handle them. It's an artifact of the post-Chernobyl nuclear power paranoia that, as nuclear power becomes more and more necessary due to the realities of climate change, I think we should leave in the 1990s. I primarily write Mr. Burns x Smithers fanfics, so I have to write about the SNPP often- and when I write about it, I try to portray it in a more realistic and neutral light than the overwhelmingly negative way that it's portrayed on the show.

[@BJGvideos]

To be fair, while I trust nuclear power, I wouldn't trust the Springfield plant one bit. We've seen how terribly it's run, and when they tried to bring in advisors who actually knew what they were doing (that German crew for instance) they basically quit in disgust.

[@deen7530]

Honestly I'm willing to bet it's Mr Burns' evil presence and the employee's general incompetence that makes the power plant the way that it is

[@artemiswolf4508]

They actually lampshade that in one of the episodes of the newer seasons. Basically Mister Burns points out that nuclear power plants are actually environmentally friendly and that the new rich character (Smiters boyfriend), despite being nicer, is WAY more evil than him because he works in fast fashion.

[@teathesilkwing7616]

This is just a minor thing, but in Regular Show, it's shown that Rigby is allergic to eggs because of the coma he goes into during the eggcellent challenge in season one. Then in season six (I think?) he's shown drinking raw eggs out of a blender as he trains for the pull-up episode. Honestly it just made me headcanon that Rigby faked going into a coma because he knew that Mordocai would win the hat for him, because as messed up as that is.. it's 100% something season one Rigby would do.

[@madisonyomans9004]

To be fair, that is definitely something Rigby would do to get the hat during that time. However, the doctors would have called him out on it about not been allergic to eggs unless he paid the doctors or something. Instead of him being allergic to eggs, you could have said he fell into a coma due to some food or something. it would tie better with the end of the episode where he sees another food related challenge. and everybody in the room was basically like if we take the hat off of him, would we go back into a coma?w but I do like your head canon get props to Rigby for faking being in a coma for that long.

[@Grumpy_Hedgehog97]

If you tried to make a drinking game out of all of Miraculous Ladybug's inaccuracies, you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning. There's the inconsistent timeline where dates just jump around and several seasons are packed into a single year, Chloe being able to use her position as Mayor's daughter to escape way too many consequences/get her way (the mayor is not the King of Paris), Chloe getting away with literal crimes and they never get mentioned again (like assaulting a train driver and risking lives so that she could then save the day), the Specials are in a questionable canon to the main series, the same transforming in plain sight that Danny Phantom had, the circumstances )or lack there of) that led to Marinette choosing her unrepentant bully as the Bee hero when there were still other options available, Marinette's mother being very clearly into her Chinese heritage yet Marinette showing no knowledge of that heritage to the point that a white guy has to teach a half-Chinese girl how to speak Cantonese, Chloe goes from being a bully who is portrayed sympathetically to a irredeemable monster decried as worse than the literal villain of the show after her "damnation arc", things constantly get retconned and then retconned again, etc. Anyway, another fandom that I have to retcon in my own fanfiction is Jak and Daxter. Yeah, Jak is all moody and angsty after his kidnapping and torture, but the game doesn't really spend much time on the impact it'd have had on him, he just has an attitude and monster transformation now. And by the third game he seems to be over it. Then there's the whole thing of Jak being mute in the first game but being able to talk perfectly fine in the second. Like, was he selectively mute before and already knew how to talk, or did someone guide him through vocal training while he was in prison for him to not slur and mispronounce his words (knowing how a word is meant to sound and forming the word are two different things). Also the lack of culture shock. Jak, Daxter and Keira are at least a few centuries in the future, yet they have no trouble adjusting to the new world and make no comment on the differences. Keira and Daxter get a pass since they could have adjusted off-screen during the two-year time jump, but all Jak experienced for those two years was the inside of the prison, meaning there should be many things in Haven that are strange to him after he gets out. I mean, look at how different out technology, beliefs and culture was in the 1700s. And then there's the passage of time. Looking at Jak 2&3, it seems like each game takes place over a couple of days at most, since it's just constant action with no in-story rest time. So, when writing, I stretch out each game over a period of at least a couple of months.

it's because of the constant retcons and reboots of the DC Universe tbh. you literally can't track the entire history of ANY of DC's characters because of this. lots of stuff just gets completely wiped from existence, altered or retconned, takes place on an alternate Earth, etc. DC even acknowledges how convoluted their universe is and how their isn't an actual canon timeline because of it, which is why they decided to make their canon more fluid by merging all of the timelines into one and making all past and current continuities canon simultaneously via The Omniverse. now DC and their writers don't have to worry about how they don't actually have a set canon timeline for everything, and fans can pick and choose what they like and what they don't. personally that's how i engage with all of my fandoms anyway, not just comics, so i for one love this approach and think it's a genius way to solve DC's canon timeline issues.

For the Miraculous Ladybug one, the events are not exactly put in a timeline. The Christmas specials are not even considered canon for the most part, as they're not referenced almost anywhere in the rest of the series, besides the literal one shot from one of them appearing in a different episode. Season 1 has basically no timeline and you can usually put most episodes into any order, as it's just the show getting its footing and also being an extremely episodic show. Season 2 and 3 mostly solve this issue, although they still don't have complete consistency, but Season 4 onward, all episodes come one after another.

[@BMS777]

I don't know if this applies to this, but one thing that bothered me about Steven Universe was the characters' resistance levels: for example, apparently Peridots are very resistant, to the point where a giant rock would fall on them and they wouldn't crack or poof, but it was quickly poofed by Garnet about 2 seasons ago, when the pearl was pierced for the first time, she still resisted and spoke to Steven for about 5 seconds, but Bismuth spent more than 10 seconds talking to Steven, and in the " false" shattering of the Pink Diamond itself is instantly poofed by the rose's sword, so I ask myself, how come a diamond is less resistant than a bismuth?

[@rainpooper7088]

Pink Diamond wanted to be poofed in that particular instance. I could see a gem being able to hang on a little longer if they really wanted to, especially when they're war veterans like Pearl and Bismuth. Peridot's newfound resistance is pretty much rule of funny though. I guess you could argue that being merged with her limb enhancers made her easier to poof, but the show never states that.

[@Yeahwhatever6]

I agree

I'm not an expert on metals but something that immediately stuck out to me was Bismuth's ability to swim in lava. Irl bismuth has a melting point so low that you can melt it on your stove.

[@thefantasylife]

I did have a headcannon that gem weapons and piercing objects do cause a gem to poof, because gem weapons are made to fight other gems, and piercing weapons can puncture a gem's form, like a needle to a balloon. Meanwhile, blunt objects dont cause that same effect.

I’m writing a FNAF fanfiction… my agony knows no bounds

[@VNightmoon]

I wrote a (no joke) novel of a fanfic. At the time, there were only four games. Four years later (when I finished), we got like three more. I basically kept the story based around the first three games (with the AU element that the Springtrap suit was found empty because I wanted the murderer alive) and kept to them, and only added elements from later games where I could fit them without derailing the story (i.e., Security Puppet's costume became main!Puppet's costume to show a time skip because main!Puppet got disassembled, then fixed, the OG owner had a circus theme planned as a potential sister location that never happened, Afton Robotics got a mention as a rival company that folded offscreen, etc.)

I thought it was really weird when Buckbeak hurt a student and the school's reaction was to take him from Hagrid and have him put down, yet in the first book/movie, Hogwarts punished Harry and Draco by having them go into a dark forest that they know is dangerous. Hogwarts likes to pick and choose when they care about their students' safety.

[@UltimateDespairado]

Also the house points system. It’s so inconsistent and has a lot of plot armor, that people make memes about it (my personal favorite being the Mean Girls reference).

[@siomhagormley]

That wasn't the school; Draco's father - who works in the government - was specifically spitefully trying to kill Buckbeak just to be cruel. (In general, though, the school is not a safe place and Buckbeak's trial was obviously very stupid, but it wasn't put on by the school.)

[@teresa6525]

​@UltimateDespairado the points system has so many flaws. Snape can add or subtract points without justification. When McGonagall thought Hermione was after the troll, she only took five points off her, but when she got out of bed at night and McGonagall thought there was no dragon, she took 50 points off her. You put your life in danger and you lose a few points, you sneak safely through the castle for a few hours, you lose so many points that everyone hates you.

There are a lot of fandoms where the canon age is very obviously drawn out of a hat. Like Sonic. You could tell me he’s fourteen or twenty-five and I’d believe you, because it doesn’t matter. Someone just scribbled down random ages in the Sonic Heroes manual one time, with only a base logic for all their ages relative to each other, and we’ve all treated it as gospel ever since. Some fandoms, the only reason characters are teens are because the creator wanted to write stock school scenes.

[@MathematicalVoid]

To be fair, Sonic has always been stated to be a teenager.

[@EmeraldSands]

In fiction, it’s commonplace for a character to get hit upside the head and be unconscious for a significant period of time.

[@inkylynx2777]

I think this may be a difference in suspension of disbelief vs verisimilitude. The former is the audience's willingness to accept a premise, while verisimilitude is the work's ability to uphold said premise. Let's take an example in, "this story is about dragons". Some people just can't suspend their disbelief on premise alone, which is fine, not everything is for everyone, but it's everything else that matters. There are two types of ways verisimilitude is re-enforced, and that's from internal rules and external rules. Internal rules would be something like, "dragons need to ingest a steady supply of metal to keep their scales hale and hearty," so if the writer is inconsistent in how long it takes for the scales to become brittle from a metal deficit (two weeks for one, four months for another, and a year for yet another) with no plausible argument within the text itself, that's a failure to maintain internal verisimilitude. External verisimilitude would be taking real-world knowledge and applying it to the story. Clearly dragons are not real, and we've already established this is part of the premise, so no rupturing of verisimilitude over the dragons just existing. But how are these dragons structured? If they're not purely magical beings like an elemental would be, then they're more like a beast. Enhancing verisimilitude would be extending the wing webbing down the length of their bodies to their tail for better lift when flying instead of having the webbing end at the hip like most depictions show. Rupturing verisimilitude would be having a dragon the size of a freight truck have its hunger satiated by a single mouse or squirrel. That thing's gonna need at least two sheep. And then there's the tottering moments, where it just kinda makes sense in hindsight. The girl aged wonky as a tree? Hm, trees do age slowly, don't they?

[@angelsartandgaming]

Someone said Ash is 10 years old always and this. I agree. Because... The fact that the Sun and Moon anime is the way it is makes Ash staying 10 make no sense!! Because of Kukui and Burnet. Within the series, they were friends that started to have romantic feelings for each other, then Kukui proposed to Burnet and they got married. This was the same episode. Now you could argue this could have happened within the same week or month. AND THEN sometime between that wedding episode and possibly the Ultra Beast episodes, they had sex because the end of the Sun and Moon series reveals Burnet is pregnant. It looks like she may be 5 months pregnant there? THEN ASH VISITS THEM IN JOURNEYS AND NOT ONLY IS THE BABY BORN, BUT HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT 5 MONTHS TO A YEAR OLD!! yet Ash is somehow still the same age.

9:50 half gripe about the Harry Potter cannon, half gripe about the fandom Squibs Why are they treated like wizard-born-muggles when not only does "wizard with a learning disability" have way more canon evidence (Squibs can see dementors, there are claims of them using spells, the Quicky Spell manual) but it would also be an interesting way to take the concept? Just, more Squibs being used in general would have been nice

[@fruity4820]

The whole "either you are born with magic or you are not" concept lost the appeal on me over time. Muggles can't even brew potions, even if they would study potions for years and do everything exactly as a wizard would when brewing the potion. No wonder there are barely any substantial muggles and Squibs characters, they can't do sh*t

[@lavengale]

Yeah, The way I see it, Squibs are just magically disabled. Specifically, they cannot innately use _spells._ Other magic is fair game. The reason they're treated as "wizard-born-muggles" is because the Greenwich area, canonically, only looks for _Accidental Spell Casting._ Something that, by nature, Squibs cannot do. I have a crossover fic centering on a Squib whose gifted at magic contracts and seersight (not prophesies; he sees different paths the future could take), but his bio parents rejected him due him being a Squib, and then his magic developed in his teens. He was on track to become an engineer, as his lack of spell casting meant he could safely build and operate both magic and muggle tech

[@lavengale]

@@fruity4820 That concept especially doesn't make sense when you consider how some mages are able to use magic that others can't; for example, Tonk's Metamorphism or Seers Not to mention how one mage can be terrible at one type of magic yet brilliant at another can bring the "all-or-nothing" concept into question. So yeah, doesn't make sense to me either

[@noeverythingthing]

tbh the way hp portrays its world as being fantastically fascinating while it also has these elements of ableism/racism (magicism? the muggle-born/muggle hatred) that are addressed but also not really is kind of disconcerting. like yeah this is a wonderful world that u will want to be a part of - just ignore the suffering of the marginalised in the background. if it was intentional and a point in the story, i wouldn’t have this criticism but jk rowling never fully acknowledges the systemic issue of bigotry in the wizarding community: werewolves are largely barred from jobs, muggle-borns are called slurs and are literally thrown into prison on account of xenophobic logic, and the elf slavery, neglecting to mention squibs and more. aside from the “this is bad” messaging (that apparently doesn’t extend to the ELF SLAVERY), the horrible nature of the bigotry and the systemic oppression these marginalised groups face is rarely acknowledged by the main characters. like wow it sucks that remus is essentially barred from getting jobs because his status as a werewolf got leaked, but past that the discrimination he faces feels like it isn’t being explored. and we can forget about seeing any push for social change to protect marginalised groups in hp, because jk rowling wants you to believe that after the war where active hatred against muggle-borns was realised in the justice system, the wizarding community became a utopia. nevermind that the bigotry laced in wizarding society is never addressed on a societal scale, elves are still slaves and “arresting all death eaters” doesn’t necessarily mean no more wizards with bigoted ideas about marginalised groups running around. i love harry potter but MAN it has a lot of issues with its exploration of xenophobia in general, especially since the series seems to have set out to tackle these issues; otherwise, making remus a werewolf, hermione a muggle-born (and all the established muggle-born xenophobia), and exposing us to house elves like dobby would have been unnecessary - especially since their storylines involve interacting w this bigotry while just trying to live their own lives. especially since dobby wanting to not be a slave is considered……………… him being a little crazy………………………… like what are u trying to say jk rowling………….(but maybe expecting a good exploration of bigotry from a TERF with plenty of bigotry to work through herself is a futile battle lol)

I'm a Murder Drones fan. Disassembly Drone (and Solver Drone by extension) wings would _not_ fit inside their torsos. Even if you assume that the reason N didn't have any lasting damage other than malfunctioning optics (that lasted all of maybe 15-25 minutes in-canon until J slapped him) when Uzi literally blew his head off is because everything intangible (memories, personality traits, etc) is stored in the core and their torsos are completely empty otherwise (which they physically can't be since there do need to be connections to everything), their wings are just simply too long to be able to only fold at the visible joints and fit inside. The longest of the 'feathers' is literally almost twice the length of their torso. And that's not even mentioning there being no visible holes in their clothing for the wings to fit through. They just kinda appear on top. Even if you assume that the nanites repair their clothes as well when they pull the wings back in (they repaired N's hair and hat in the pilot, when we know that those are not attached), it would still result in them ripping their own clothing every time they extend their wings. The way I usually end up explaining the wing size discrepancy for Disassembly Drones is to make it so the wings actually form from nanites when they extend them, and when they have them retracted they're basically just a liquid. That doesn't really explain it for Solver Drones though, given that Solver Drone wings appear to be organic ^^'

1:41 okay as a warrior cat fan thats just being picky. like, yeah, the highly humanized cats with a concept of religion, medicine, and goverment make choices, shocker. also, not all queens that stay in the nursery keep having kits, Goldenflower (arc 1 until mid arc 2) stayed a nursery queen after her second litter left, to help raise other queens' kits. Daisy (Arc 2 onwards) is a recongised permenant queen who has an entire side thing (Daisy's Kin) that ends in the cats she's helped raise thanking her for her job. and yeah, the medicine cats take vows of chastity, their doctor nuns. Warrior Cats is written like tiny humans in cat fur. Also, technically an apprentice has had kits before, Scorchfur of Shadowclan in Arc 3, but that was due to a timeline consistency issue because the warriors writers have admitted to using the fandom wiki as their lore bible. if you wanna talk about cat biology in warrior cats, why dont they constantly have worms? they are never described removing the GI tract of animals they eat, and they eat meat raw, they almost certainly should have worms. And the fleas, there is no reason the elders should constantly have fleas, not only are those bad for their health, it would also spread to everyone else immediately. the heat thing is a fair point, but yeah, kids book. also european badgers are almost entirely docile and are not like the american-esque ones portrayed in the books. and theres only been 1 deaf blue eyed white furred kit in the entire series, even though theres been at least a dozen blue eyed white furred cats before and since Snowkit, and genetically a least a few of them would be deaf. sorry for the wall of text but i've put 8 years of my life into this fandom and i know far too much about it

Anachronisms, or when something from the present exists in the past, even if that didn't existed yet at the time. I often go to fandoms that are set in fantasy settings, some of them also setting in the past. I see them everywhere. Sometimes, it's just very minor things, like when Greed, a character from FMAB, an anime which is set in 1914, was wearing modern sunglasses. That can easily be ignored. But Natsu, a character from Fairy Tail, an anime which was set in X793, using what appear to be a modern cellphone ? Not so much.

There are precursors to modern sunglasses too, so the sunglasses thing could probably be explained away well enough anyway, if you wanted to bother doing it

[@headphonesaxolotl]

Sometimes they can be used just for comedy, which I don't mind. Usually it's better when it doesn't line up with a real timeline (E.x. a generic fantasy world where someone uses a cellphone is more acceptable than someone eating a modern-style candy car in something set in the 1740's.)

[@mycomnithegreat434]

Tbf, the sunglasses is part of the Tiffany Problem when it comes to fantasy or sci fi (tldr: when something seems too modern despite having properly existed within that time, example namer Tiffany for example was in use as a name as far back as the 12th century). BUT i assuming you meant the aesthetic of said glasses, which judging from the few ads I could find from the 1920s, look more like those ancient Chinese glasses than the trends at the time. The sunglasses I saw were round, rested on the bridge of the nose, and covered the whole eye. Not the smaller ones that seem to be fashion like Greeds eyewear. Maybe it was intentional? It is an alternate timeline, so I guess something happened that sunglasses trends became different?

[@Ilit015]

From what I remember, Fairy Tail cellphones were improved versions of communication lacrimas (they were showed as crystal balls for most of the series). And honestly, given that FT has trains, what's basically magic-fueled cars, guns, cameras and live TV, I don't think that a magical cellphone is unrealistic, no matter what number the author chose to use as a year.

3:20 for real. i. mostly have peeves with Nico di Angelo’s age mix-ups, bc in the Mark of Athena, he’s said to be fourteen, but it takes place almost a year after The Last Olympian, where he’s twelve. his sister Hazel repeatedly calls him “big brother”, but she is both physically and chronically older than him. she was born two years before, and despite being the same age in present day canon (the reasons are complicated to explain without spoilers), her birthday is almost two months before his widely accepted one. Rick Riordan has given three possible birthdays for Nico.

How incompetent is Police in fnaf YOU WANT TO TELL ME NOONE FOUND CHILDREN BODIES INSIDE THOSE ROBOTS AND NOONE SUSPECTED WILLIAM??? NAAAAAH

[@cillianstewart9441]

iirc a suspect, likely William, was actually arrested, but lack of evidence or bodies meant he had to be let go. This is brought up in the novel, as police chief (then detective) Clay is convinced that William was guilty and hates that protocol let him slip away scot free.

[@Homoraccoon]

in fnaf William and Henry never got drafted for the war, this opens up a new type of trope: fake dating to dodge the draft.

When it comes to fantasy or anthropromorphic creatures or objects, I THINK you can afford to be unrealistic on some things unless that’s your goal. If a main focus of your story is to present something in a way that’s as scientifically-accurate as possible (saying you’re going to write a dog’s perspective as accurate as possible and then have him see his toy ball is red), that’s not good. You don’t have to break your back over getting every single detail right, though adding some of those details (like the moon actually changing phases in different scenes) will give it more believability. What you DO need is to make sure you’re not throwing every scrap of logic out the window and turning your story into a word version of an abstract painting. Not everyone knows cats restrict meowing to communicate to mother and kitten. What everyone DOES know is that a cat meows. Having a cat just hooting like an owl for no reason or explanation, especially if they can’t talk, is going to put a lot of readers off very quickly.

As somebody who loves a good timeline because it helps me understand lore better, doctor who has DESTROYED me

[@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816]

Fnaf has some crazy timeline shenanigans. Got even crazier when they briefly included timetravel.

[@elizabethlamach4172]

As someone who makes Zelda X pokemon Fan fiction as a personal form to cope with capitalistic America since I was about 10 It feels nice to have a country government generally makes since. That and most of the gym leader in concept actually make sense. It's been 10 years since I've, and looking back on it I should have seen a therapist earlier, because I've learned how not to commit copyright infigment with my own ideas! Now I do bs with dragon, and messing around with spacetime continuum.

In wings of fire, one of the side characters, Deathbringer, is assumed/implied to be the age as the main characters in the book he is introduced in. Yet, in a later off-shoot book that details his backstory, the year the story takes place in would mean he is muuuuch older in the present day. Which wouldnt be too bad if it werent for the fact that when he meets the main characters, they are all 6 years old (late teens for dragons), and one of the main characters, Glory, is his love interest. Meanwhile the the book about his backstory would set him as being 13 years old (around like 30s maybe?). However most people (including me) just ignore this as Tui (author) not being the best at keeping timelines in check. Also, side note; dragon aging isnt the most consistent in the books, with dragons seeming to age very quickly from ages 1-7 and then just slowing down the aging from there, as its normal for dragons to live past 100.

[@BookWyrmOnAString]

Its odd that headcanoning him as a child soldier lines up better. Like, its horrifying, but i can see the faction he works for doing it, and it makes shipping line up better.

[@cozybeanic]

his age in his ministory is a retcon now tui made a mistake slightly old comment but just wanna clear things up

[@Slysum]

I don't like how Steven Rogers' time travelling wasn't explained enough. Did he inject the steroids? Did he even join the army? What would happen to Bucky? What about the Civil War? I mean, it affected more characters than just Cap. It's confusing and fundraising for me. I hope they make a movie, or even series where they explain what actually changed for each character and how the endgame fight ended up without Cap being there.

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

10:40 Also, it's weird that Hermione, of all people, likes the smell of parchment. I get that she loves schoolwork, but she's very much the kind of person who'd be against skinning animals.

[@dushidaisy4771]

That Aurora has violet eyes, she’s a human and (supposedly) the only humans with violet eyes have albinism, which she doesn’t have. Also the lack of royal title/inaccurate royal titles in Descendants.
