** There is a Franchise/KingdomHearts-based comic where Leo!Sora proposes they do experiments on Winnie-the-Pooh, and leaves him busted open, with his blood and fluff all over the place, begging Piglet to kill him. When Pooh went into the public domain in 2022, someone conjured up a horror version: ''Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey''.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: To date, Ramsoomair has made three strips parodying ''VideoGame/StarFox''. The only one to feature any of the characters aside from Slippy (as opposed to having Aeris & Leo fill their roles)? The one where Fox & Falco have sex while making bad in-jokes. And then Wolf shows up, implying it's not over - though one wonders how he got on the ''Great Fox'' (or why he has a beer gut, unlike Fox and considering his flight suit implies he'd be pretty well-built out of costume). Then again, yaoi fantasies never had to make sense as it turned out to have been Aeris' imagination. Still, the one time we see Ramsoomair's take on any of the other ''Star Fox'' characters, this is what we get.[[note]]The other two strips featured Leo as Fox and Aeris as Krystal. Slippy was featured in the second one.[[/note]]
