pet peeve - story cop-outs

i really hate it when an author writes themselves into a corner and then invokes some sort of far fetched or convoluted mechanism to just retcon or invalidate past events; to have some overpowering go-to solution that doesn’t relate to the plot in any real way, but conveniently solves all the problems. shit like:

using time-travel to nullify the events/threat of the plot

“it was all a dream”

“it was all a hallucination” (not an all-inclusive list)

like, if you’re going to explore something like that, let it ENHANCE the story. why can’t the abuse of time travel perhaps create some sort of “fracture” in time? why can’t the fictitious dreams pose some sort of REAL danger to our protagonist? why can’t the hallucinations, through PLOT DEVELOPMENT, develop the ability to have some sort of TANGIBLE effect over the real world?

when you invoke a universal solution like that, you’re taking what could have been a rich, colorful, vibrant, and otherwise multifaceted/complex storyline and just allowing to fall flat on its face. it’s lazy. it’s unfulfilling; unsatisfying; it’s a cop-out.

Go to a coffee shop. Sit by the bar with the glass windows and look out. Look at all the people running to catch a train. All the girls with one too many shopping bags. All the couples too in love to care. Then you’ll see it - a bit of yourself in everyone. And somehow, sitting alone in a coffee shop had never felt so good.

In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program - perhaps the most rigorous in the world.

Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it’s a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan. Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles…the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It’s an education process for the consumer.
