Last night, I had a dream about a boy who came up with a complicated excuse for why he skipped school. It involved discovering a secret society, fighting a grizzly bear, and saving someone from drowning. His mother took it all in stride, because as soon as he said it, it all became true.

The secret society’s leader knew the boy had retconned them into existence. He justified not killing the boy to prevent further changes, because most of the changes had actually been good. Now the society existed, it could watch for other people with the same powers and prevent disastrous changes.

The boy grew up, and unfortunately, he got into writing furry TF porn . . .

When I was a kid, I read this book called The Love Bombers about a woman who joins a cult. On the one hand, the cult leader is clearly using these people to gather charitable donations, which he skims from to enrich himself while his followers live under a vow of poverty. On the other hand, the cultists are all happy working together to get donations, which they think will feed homeless people in their community. So the main thing I got out of it was that the cultists should unionize.

I saw someone spend multiple forum pages complaining about how Monster Girl Encyclopedia has poorly thought out socioeconomics. Dude, just watch Spice and Wolf instead.
