I correct my statement minorly. Forever Yogurt is a mildly intimidating name

Matt: "It's... the LEAST furry from what I understand. Because Sofurry was originally a porn site. Inkbunnt was the child porn place..."
Charlie: "What-WHAT!?!"
mostly posted because I want that "what-WHAT!?!" as my ringtone now
If you give me the timecode I will clip it.
Also Furaffinity is the worst furry site except for all the others.

Josh: "Well sure. You can't DDT a mosquito because they're so small."
James: "God dammit! I'm talking insecticides and he's talking wrestling moves."
Also the thing about mosquitos now is breeding males which have a genetic defect that cause all the larvae to die and usually cuts mosquito populations by 95% with no observed consequences.

In the topic of the crew's dedication to each other, I get a little chuckle out of the couple of times that our respective arcanas all made us make heroic sacrifices so that we could escape but like all at once so we just ended up sticking around and fighting for a while until we all either ran away or won

Yeah like you can do a Junji Ito everyone dies styled story as one-off a la artifact zero or some of the deeper Shane Ivey stuff.

With regards to bricolage I think definitely taking elements and smashing them in can work, but it needs to be in moderation and with reason. Remember again my example in that episode about starting with magical singing animals (because of the stupid Chipmunks movie) and ending with the discovery of a dying forest spirit whose powers were just kinda leaking into the woods to grant these animals the powers of terrible singing.
Like you mentioned in the Uzamaki film there was a snake cult because afaik there's no explanation in the Uzamaki comic and I'm guessing they needed a more conventional kind of story to build a motion picture around. Maybe this explanation wasn't a good reason for why a bunch of spirals just showed up everywhere but an effort was made.
Similarly, unless you're going for a Shane Ivey styled "you're fucked" DG game, the Ito stuff needs to follow some kind of rules and ideally have an ending the investigators can reach. Amigara Fault is cool but playing a game about being compelled to walk into a hole and getting sealed in there is less so.

He wasn't a threat himself, but he was feeding information to the more sinister staff
Elder Dane I think was more or less what he ended up, but less irate and jaded. he was the equivalent of an angel from the equivalent of god, because he wanted a more indirect approach than appearing as a psychedelic winged ball of fire etc in his true form and making them stop doing what they were doing and worship him/go insane. so he was kind of a messenger and moral compass for the kids without directly interfering with things like Odin
as I remember it, anyway
Yeah Dane was less an emissary for a deity and more the idea that all major religions are just bad interpretations of monsters (see: Mr Crocker, former egyptian god). There was a whole idea for a transdimensional agency that was trying to maintain a semblance of order but it never really came up beyond that one time Dane handed Manny an informational pamphlet about demon puberty. On top of other reasons, I scrapped that idea because I realized it was just the plot to The Adjustment Bureau.
