Let's just get the other short ones out of the way, too.
Over-applications of logic is kind of complicated. On one hand, it's just one of those weird things I like to do sometimes, taking something that you absolutely cannot apply logic to and trying, anyway, because what results can be fun. On the other, sometimes, without being aware of it, I just get stuck trying to make logical sense of everything, which usually leads to headaches. I think I got into doing it for fun to help me notice when I'm doing it accidentally (because I've definitely been doing the latter for longer.)
"There were tigers." That's a quote from possibly the best Transformers fic every written. Not really, but it is a parody (thank goodness for the parody tag, or I'd have missed out on it), and I laughed far too much reading it. Sparkloves and Bondmates (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5196522/1/Sparkloves_and_Bondmates). I do not think you need to actually be in the fandom to appreciate what it is mocking.
Pyramid Head's abstract cousin is what I've named a strange statue/bell-tower-thing near where I live. It is a massive triangle (hollow, with a bell in it) on thin little legs and my flatmate asked, "What is that supposed to be" one night and that just popped out of my mouth. I think it was shortly after we'd finished playing Silent Hill 2, because she understood the reference and she wouldn't have otherwise.
Tidus-bird requires an illustration, which will have to come when I go home to find Sephiroth poking grass or something. Girl scouts, we were making little pins on ... that plastic that shrinks when you bake it. I drew a simple little bird on one, and when it baked, the plastic warped just enough to make it look... I, I don't entirely know, but when I saw it and the other girl in the troop who played video games saw it, we both immediately thought it looked like Tidus somehow.
Wait for me!!! *cliff* is from back when my brother and I played with our toys together. (Which was into our teen years, by the way, so that doesn't really limit things too much.) We were playing with our Star Wars figures and, because we had both read the expanded universe books (or some of them, anyway, in my brother's case), we used doubles of figures to stand in for some of the book-only characters. One of these figures, currently being controlled by me (for the life of me I can't remember if it was Jacen or Anakin Solo - both book-only characters - but we tended to have Jacen be a bit of an idiot, so I suspect it was him), was walking along the edge of the cliff/table, when I slipped and he went tumbled down into the river below. My brother, who'd been tagging after Jacen with C-3P0, we don't know why, but he interrupted whatever he was saying to cry out, "Master [Jacen], what are you doing? ... WAIT FOR MEEE!" and then he threw 3P0 off the table and we both kind of stood there for a minute staring at the two of them on the floor and then we laughed until we couldn't breathe.
Hopefully with less errors this time.
