Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere? Or The World Mocks Your Loss?
Edited by WarJay77 Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
So I'm reading a shipping fic, and things have gotten tense. One of the characters is doing a crossword to take their mind off things, but all of the answers are words that remind them of their current situation. I swear something like this would have a trope page but I can't seem to find it anywhere?
To a lesser extent, I remember a bit from Total Drama where Courtney is trying to get over Duncan, but it's a bit hard because she finds a rock shaped like him. I swear I also remember seeing something where character A is stressed about a situation involving character B, and then everyone around them looks like character B.
Surely something like this has happened, right? I'm not having some weird kind of Mandela Effect? I can't find a trope page anywhere, and this might not really be much of a trope at all.
