[WP] You're a street-level, neighborhood hero. You fight a "villain" about once a year but spend most of your time helping resolve domestic disputes. You just got home to find one of the premier heroes in the country on your doorstep. The first words out of their mouth were "We need your help"	896

[WP] Take a "standard" romance and flip the script. The tall hot athlete is a girl while the shorter, slightly nerd is a boy who "cleans up nice," a naive rich boy gets swept away by a cynical gal from the wrong side of the tracks, that sort of thing. Anything that shakes things up.	722

[WP] Prophets and seers don't HAVE to give musings and warnings of the future in vague, riddling, or purposefully misleading ways. They mostly only do that when the people who come to them are being arrogant jerks or when someone knowing their actual happy end will cause that end to not happen.	596
[WP] An archaeologist stumbles into a forgotten ruin. After reading the gliphs on the wall, a bright light fills the room. A voice says "I was beginning to wonder if your kind had forgotten the safe word! Time to refresh and relax" and instantly the world begins to get better.	580
[WP] "Hello, my name is Mr Hades. As your teacher is out sick, I will your sub until they can return. Yes, I am a god. Yes, there are multiple pantheons. No, I will not tell you your future or grant you wishes. Now if everyone could please turn to page 157 in their textbooks we can get started"	567
