Modern Problems Fictional Mythology
If a god's power comes from the faith of mortals, then a natural outcome would be incompatible gods slaughtering all the people who worship their rivals in a massive death spiral, or holding back from doing so only because of Mutually Assured Destruction logic (which is very unstable). It is... -

Heh, yeah, that's more accurate. It's also why they tell kids on Halloween not to accept any treats that aren't store-bought (well, part of the reason why, the other has to do with corporate profits). -

It's more like selling someone a burger that was made from stray cats and dogs snatched off the street. Much cheaper than raising cows, if you think the end consumer can't tell the difference. -

I had to look this up today, thanks to being called out on my science ignorance. The way I interpret superposition is that if you had two chambers and two cats and two geiger counters, both cats would be dead long before you open either chamber up. That is to say, the particle is alternating... -

Or as the kid would say when blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, "I wish for infinity wishes" (intelligence always tries to maximize future options) "No wishing for more wishes" - Aladdin's genie (as voiced by Robin Williams, loved his performance in that role) Well then what did... -

The best I can say is that the tao that can be named is not the true tao. Anyone who tries to claim they know precisely what is the objective good, is someone to be wary of, because they are probably serving a lesser good and mistaking it for the higher one. It's a bit like with quantum theory... -

I am arguing that subjective good is short-sighted and will eventually self-terminate. What I am trying to say is that there is a universal good that is higher than what any individual would say is good for themselves, and any story that deviates from that universal good will run into problems... -

This is why I try to avoid the D&D alignment system. Despite the creators saying it's not supposed to be a strait-jacket, it always ends up becoming one anyways. One thing I will push back on is this: It's my belief that you actually can't. You can try, but you will run into a logical bind at... -

I don't think it's that hard to write LG characters in general, but they are usually not seen as Chads because they put justice above personal power, so they lack the sort of ruthlessness that propels people into power and builds harems from the ground up. The more common sort of LG Chad is just... -

More or less how James Bond is written. To some extent, a lot of the great men of history (Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan) were like this. One can't blame amateur writers for wanting to be like these men. The power fantasy is always, "If I could do whatever I wanted and get... -

If you make a story about the scaling of numbers, you should make sure they all add up to 666. This number is the sum total of all things that can be counted using numbers. If you make all stats add up to 666, then you will have perfect betting odds for who will win between the hero and the... -

It should at least involve a montage with some inspiring music that pumps you up. And it should end with an awesome visual, like doing flying kung fu kicks on top of a cliff while silhouetted in the brilliant light of the rising sun... or raising your arms in triumph atop the steps of the art... -
Power Ideas (specific type of crossover fic)
The example that comes to the top of my head is from the old webcomic, erfworld. The protagonist (anagrammed as Parson Gotti) is a normal human summoned by a spell into this fantasy world that's structured like a turn-based strategy game. Everything he encounters in this world looks like a joke... -

Maybe it's because Akira was often the first anime western millennials ever watched. It was pretty popular back in the day when anime used to be niche but was just starting to break into western markets and gain mass appeal. So it's the first name that pops into the SI's head, is my guess. A bit...
