Long-Tailed Tit/stjärtmes. Värmland, Sweden (December 17, 2016).
More favourite tropes:
- “Unfortunately, [thing that would ordinarily be described in much stronger terms than ‘unfortunate’].”
- “Fortunately, [thing that is in no way fortunate].”
- “Unfortunately, [thing that would be fortunate in nearly any circumstance except the particular circumstance at hand].“
- “Fortunately, [very minor benefit that absolutely does not offset the considerable drawbacks of whatever just happened].“
- “Unfortunately, [the exact, word-for-word thing that somebody just expressed that they hope won’t happen].“
- “Fortunately, [complete non sequitur].”
And may I add
“Fortunately, [thing]. Unfortunately, [the exact same thing].”

Good thing Tolkien nerfed elves by making them be able to die by heartbreak.
There’s gotta be at least one elf, that when they encounter a mild inconvenience- they start screaming about fading.
Elf #1: This is it, I can feel my fëa wither. I’m fading. The Hall of Mandos awaits me.
Elf #2: I’m not apologizing for eating your sweet roll.
Actually this is just Elladan and Elrohir.
the most annoying stage of burnout is when i want to write, and i have the urge to write, and somewhere in my skull are the words that want to be written, but they have to get through the cursed minotaur maze first and nobody remembered to bring string

One hill I will die on is that it's always infinitely funnier for mad scientist characters to have an actual area of expertise, and the narrower it is, the funnier it gets. Like, they're mad scientists. They can branch out from it. But it's a very special thing to be able to point to the person who built a death ray/engineered life in their basement/etc and be able to confidently state what they got their PhD in.
"Doc Brown is a mad scientist" Well yeah, obviously.
"Doc Brown is a mad physicist" Now we're getting somewhere!
"Doc Brown is a mad nuclear physicist" Specifically conjures up images of a guy who spent his PhD doing a million repetitive cyclotron tests and eventually said fuck this, I'm building a time machine instead. Comedy gold.
