As someone who reads a lot of Pokemon fic, especially gameverse, I often find myself in the mood to read a certain character as the "protag", since we have cases where some characters are either the rival or the protagonist. And I'd love to be able to filter by that!
So I propose making a common tag convention on Ao3 that we could follow when writing and tagging fic. My ideas were something like "Protag Teru | Rei" or "Teru | Rei is the Protagonist". We could also have tags like "Rival Haruka | May" or "Haruka | May is the Rival".
Of course, there's no obligation to do so, but I think it would be a useful tag, especially for less common choices of protag/rival assignment. (And things like the secret third option of both characters being protags can be conveyed by tagging both!)

Day 29 - Psychosomatic Bullshit
I mean…
That’s definitely how it felt when we got to that chapter

Doey:and then what she dıd
Player:betray us....

Honey, did you remember to lock the door?
What they try to bury here is that people uninstalled to switch to better adblockers that actually work to block youtubes bullshit
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet…but depending on the versions and timelines you follow, the npcs are either dealing with a HUGE(possibly) apocalyptic crisis that’s enough for multiple lifetimes over, OR multiple slightly less but STILL major apocalyptic crises (it really depends on what KIND you’re willing to accept)
Honestly how good the NPC life is depends greatly on what game you're dropped into.
Pokémon? Free healthcare, great company, living the dream.
Legend of Zelda? It's a toss up whether the twink will be a saviour, a menace, or both to you personally. Thankfully, major crises are usually only once or twice a lifetime at most, unless you're a longer-lived race like the Zora.
Mario? There's a crisis every single goddamn year because of the neighboring kingdom. Do you have any idea how many anniversaries and weddings you've missed because of Bowser's horrible attempts at flirtation? Too damn many.
Kirby: See above, but there's a good likelihood you'll be kidnapped or eaten or smth. 2/10 would not recommend.
