... and that awkward moment when i remember I've asked something quite like this before
, but there was no answer to the first one so I guess it's moot
A trope or trivia item (more likely trivia item) about how a deep, serious character stemmed from a complete joke of an idea. Like if someone included a sentient Bitcoin in a murder mystery as a joke, but in the final story his death was legitimately tragic and the start of a Protagonist Journey to Villain.
