[WP] You wanted to save the world with your friends, but your DND party/superhero team/etc would rather act like a friend group in a CW drama - i.e. constantly fight, argue, start drama, betray each other, instigate conflict, yadda yadda yadda. One day you've had enough.

[WP] You’ve been in a good romantic relationship for about a year now. Your SO is kind and thoughtful and funny, but something’s missing. After some heart-to-hearts, you realize your SO only got together with you because they liked your dog. You now have to process this.
