i want to share one of the stupidest plot point ideas i have ever written down for a fanfic in my history of fanfic writing.
so everyone knows those "oh shit im THAT character now??"/"OH MY GOD IM IN THE WORLD OF [INSERT BOOK/SHOW]" fanfics, right?
well, one of my favorite things i've ever written for one of those fanfics was this:
two people, one kid and one adult, were reincarnated into a superhero manga world (idk why im being vague about it lol but i think a lot of the people who stumble across this post would figure it out sooner or later). they had nothing in common but the fact they were reincarnated here together (and that they were being used as pawns for a war between two reincarnation hosting deities but that's another story for later) but they had to find some type of unique code that they would remember because there was a shape shifting villain on the loose and they were realizing a lot of their codes were easier to figure than they thought.
they go through everything before realizing they're both extremely into nerdcore rap. so they just decide, "hey, since we're in this universe, what if we use lyrics from the raps about this universe? it'll totally be unique and won't backfire at all!"
it backfired. majorly. if i had to describe it in a chekov like way, i accidentally placed a gun upon the mantel and then took it off just to show it off but accidentally shot two bullets into the wall while i was at it.
they screamed at each other lyrics that contained wordplay based on the identity of a supervillain that they were absolutely not supposed to mention until later on in the series. they destroyed one of the biggest reveals in the series (in series obviously, the out of series reaction was why they forgot it was so big.) just by a silly line.
so yeah that was funny especially as the aftermath of them realizing they also just wrecked their own reveals that they were from another world (they expected it to be emotional, tender, and heart-warming) with that line and then arguing over who wrecked the reveal.
