Lord of the Blue Star
Hey, no harm done. You asked an honest question and got an honest answer. Welcome to the community.
For Bungling Inventor, what about this. I believe it's from Hogfather.
If too long, then what about the final two sentences.

The current quote for Nothing Nice About Sugar and Spice massively spoils The Reveal of Sharp Objects.
(I've been trying to think up a fitting replacement, but everything I can remember would likewise be spoileriffic).
Ed.: Is it allowed to suggest quotes from one's own work? I've got one from my Series Fic that might just fit. (In canon, descriptions of Tyene's girliness and hints of her deadliness are mostly scattered, IIRC, so I'm not sure if a concise quote could be found there)

The quote for Potty Dance is really long, four paragraphs (seventeen lines) of lyrics.
Step to the left, now step to the right.
Put your knees together and squeeze 'em tight!
Keep your arms moving side to side!
Try to hold it in 'till it's time to ride!
Knock knock, let me in!
Knock knock, let me in, I gotta go (uh)!
Knock knock, let me in!
Knock knock, let me in, I gotta go!
Keep moving now! Don't you stop!
Hold it in 'till it's time to drop!
'Lemme in before I pop!'
Too late, gotta grab a mop.
Knock knock, let me in!
Knock knock, let me in, I gotta go (uh)!
Knock knock, let me in!
Knock knock, let me in, I GOTTA GO!"
I'm guessing it should be fine to remove the first line and second half, so it's down to two paragraphs at the very most.
Quote for God of the Dead changed from
to
Which do we prefer
Ey, migi vuru?In Working Order doesn’t yet have a page quote, I was going to suggest this one:
I think it fits better on the latter. Unfortunately, I don't like any of the other options on Quotes.Contrasting Sequel Main Character for various reasons, so maybe leave it blank for now.

i'd say it fits I Am Not Him far better, yeah.
idk how fitting two quotes from two different games would fit, but here's 8 suggestions:
- Ophilia: "The flame guides us true!"Temenos: "May the Sacred Flame guide you... or, something like that."
- Osvald: "I need a plan."
- Ochette: "Ready to be prey?"

Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?
it could possibly have two quotes, like Inconsistent Coloring does. that being said i think those are a bit short to effectively show contrast
i personally think this:
is the best one of the 8, as it directly contrasts Ophilia's belief and Temenos's doubt, but i can maybe find better ones
Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?I'm honestly not a fan of the formatting. I find two script-style quotes that aren't actually a dialogue in the same scene confusing at a glance. I'd be okay with using two quotes with full attribution, to show the contrast that way.

something like this?
anyone else think All Therapists Are Muggles relies too much on the stage direction?
it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...For Resurrection Tropes main page, what about from Time Bandits
Supreme Being: Dead? No excuse for laying off work.

I agree. How about this for the replacement from the example-list:
It should be safe from linkrot since it's on Internet Archive.
I was going to make it proper once approved. But if you insist, then here it would be. Also, how is one line, two words long, "too much on a stage direction?" The trope page is about resurrections of various kind. The act of resurrection would be important to the quote.
Supreme Being: Dead? No excuse for laying off work.

We could just do this one from Altered Beast (1988) (though that would necessitate a duplicate quote).
I think the main quote on Furry Confusion might be a tad too wordy, so here's two quotes from its Quote Page that I think would be good to use in its place.
The second one:
Teddy: Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog.
Chris: He can't be a dog. He drives a car and wears a hat.
Vern: Oh, God. That's weird. What the hell is Goofy?
I stand more by the second quote because it's so iconic but the first is a lot more succinct.
