#QuestionOfTheDay who are your top 5 favorite animal/creature companions in fiction?
Bonus if you give why
#QuestionOfTheDay follow up question, make up a fake group chat you absolutely would not want to be accidentally added into because of what you'd probably read/see/get tmi about.
(examples of what I mean by making up a fake group chat: "isekai busty elf group chat", "tsundere anime girl group chat", "Star Trek captains group chat", "fantasy villains group chat", "Roman emperors group chat", "famous scientists with the first name that start with D" group chat, etc, whatever you want, go nuts.

#QuestionOfTheDay for no particular reason, make up a fake group chat that you'd want to be accidentally added to.
(examples: "isekai busty elf group chat", "tsundere anime girl group chat", "Star Trek captains group chat", "fantasy villains group chat", "Roman emperors group chat", "famous scientists with the first name that start with D" group chat, etc, whatever you want, go nuts.
Follow-up #QuestionOfTheDay what's a work that you think is underrated/overlooked because of who made it/the series or franchise it was packaged under/the company that released it/etc?
For example, a game made by a company famous for action games that was not an action game so people tuned it out or dismissed it, or a song that's very different from the expected style of a musician, a movie released under a franchise that was a good movie but did not fit the franchise, etc
#QuestionOfTheDay what's a work that you think is underrated/overlooked because of when it came out? (for example, it came out right between 2 major releases and got overlooked, or right after or right before the much more successful thing that redefined the genre it is in, or it came out when the genre/topic/style was out of fashion or it came out before the genre/topic/style got hot, etc)
Could George Lucas make Star Wars if he started today?
Sunday Question:
If I had a box containing everything you’ve ever lost, what would you search for first?
.....
I would look for the wallet I left on top of the car after filling up with gas two winters back. That or the stuffed bear I left at the rest stop when I was 5.
I love weird ranked lists, whether it's the BAFTA list of the "most iconic video game characters of all time" (https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/lara-croft-crowned-most-iconic-video-games-character-of-all-time-according-to-bafta-poll) that had Sackboy 5 ahead of Pikachu and Pac-Man, and the guy from RDR2 and 2 characters from the just released Baldur's Gate 3 on it, or the IGN list (https://www.ign.com/articles/the-best-100-video-games-of-all-time) that was heavily Nintendo at the top and had FF7 at 97 and it was clear that the people making the list didn't really play sports games or JRPGs because there were so few
So the #QuestionOfTheDay is what's a memorable weird/terrible top X list (from any topic) that you remember and want to share? What's weird/terrible about the choices?
What’s a '90s or 2000s trend that you’re embarrassed to admit you participated in?
#QuestionOfTheDay what's your comfort media thing when you're stressed or scared or need distraction? Like a show or episode of a show or book or chapter of a book or movie, music, game, comic, anime, manga, YouTube video, whatever
#QuestionOfTheDay if you had to be roommates with a fictional archvillain, who would you choose?
(Define archvillain as a major villain, chief villain, leader, etc whoever you would see as one of the "main" villains in something and not merely a minion or lieutenant, if they're primarily the villain of a story despite working for a greater evil they can still count for the purposes of this question (Shredder, Sauron, Moff Tarkin, etc), my intent is just for people not to pick like Iago from Aladdin or something)
#QuestionOfTheNight if you could own one fictional vehicle that could fit in a 2 car garage, what would it be? assume that powering it is somehow not a problem, and there's no issues with legality
#QuestionOfTheDay what's an objectively bad/mid work of media that has a banger piece of music (or soundtrack) it absolutely does not deserve?
Share the music.
(This can include commercials that have a great song/theme too if you want)
Follow-up #QuestionOfTheDay from yesterday: what is an interesting/creative adaptation of something you like/care about? (any adaptation from one medium to another counts, so it can be video game to anime, comic to movie, movie to video game, board games, books, myths, poems, theatre, etc, anything counts as long as it went from one medium to another)
It doesn't have to be good or bad or even accurate, just creative or interesting in a way you want to talk about!
bonus points for explaining why it's interesting to you or why you think it's creative
#QuestionOfTheDay what is the worst adaptation of something you like/care about? (any adaptation from one medium to another counts, so it can be video game to anime, comic to movie, movie to video game, board games, books, myths, poems, theatre, etc, anything counts as long as it went from one medium to another)
bonus points for explaining why it was a bad adaptation
@ami_angelwings My least favorite character trope had to be “aggressive ultra competitive elite school high class student” I just cannot with them, I hate bullying and this gets too close. Can’t watch Kaguya-sama, even knowing it’s a farce.
My favorite trope is probably “dumbass but with a heart of gold” I guess. They make most things better.
#QuestionOfTheDay what is your favourite anime character trope/archetype and what is your least favourite?
bonus points for saying why
#QuestionOfTheDay what's your favorite derivative scenario that you love seeing show up in fiction?
What I mean by derivative scenario is one where the main characters are in a scenario derived from a popular source, like common ones are The Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven scenario where the main characters have to defend a village from attackers, usually by recruiting others and teaching the villagers to fight with them; or The Twelve Angry Men scenario where one of the heroes is recruited to a jury where they're the only one who knows the truth and has to convince everybody else; or the Die Hard scenario where one of the heroes is stuck in a terrorist situation in an isolated place and has to fight the terrorists and stop their plot on their own, etc
As a follow-up to yesterday, today's #QuestionOfTheDay is: what's your favorite piece of #retro TTRPG, CCG, trading card, board game, or video game art?
You can elaborate on why you like it or what memories it holds for you if you like but you do not have to!
