You are the Chosen One. The Dark Overlord is currently trying to seduce you to their cause. To their great surprise, you accept almost immediately because you absolutely loathe your job and your companions.
This is THE shipping dynamic and you can’t change my mind
The peaceful dragon had been pushed one time too many. Someone was about to discover that “peaceful” did not mean “harmless”.
OSHA inspection of a supervillain lair. The supervillain actually requested it.
Bond seeing the future is cool and all, but can we talk about how Mrs. Yor Briar Forger was way ahead of her time? She didn't act as Anya wanting to protect herself at school was ridiculous or not" girly/lady like."
She also teaches her daughter that her fists are for protection.
To not use her emotions lead her to physically react, remaining cool and calm is something a "big girl" would do and to just walk away.
Smiling and rising above bullies is the best choice.
She also in all of that, taught Anya to not only defend herself, but her friends, as she uses Becky as a scapegoat for punching Damian, despite that being a lie, it's a complex reasoning for such a young, innocent girl.
And with all that, she even teaches Anya misdirection. When Yor drunkily fights Loidman, we see her put Loid in a rhythm, repeating actions to get him familiar with her moves, then catching him off guard.
(At least I'm assuming that's what happens even though we don't see her necessarily teach Anya specifically, Anya's actions show that it may very well have happened) Anya follows this in a sense when she punches Damian. She looks down the hall, not only to see the Headmaster, but it causes Damian to be distracted and looking elsewhere when Anya then punches him while he's off guard.
Yor is amazing. Just from Anya asking how to protect herself, Yor gave her a handful of lessons with both her hands and actions. Yor is a great mother by teaching her daughter how not to only protect herself, but others, and that staying calm and walking away makes you the bigger person.

Au where everyone in the membrane family firmly believes in the paranormal, but no one agrees on which specific cryptids are real.
And then Zim shows up, but no one agrees on just what Zim is or what to do.
Dib thinks that Zim is a alien invader that needs to be stopped at all costs because “weird alien technology and green skin”
Professor Membrane thinks Zim is some sort of robot, cyborg or government weapon because he’s SEEN the amount of advanced weapons in his backpack, plus he once saw Zim lift a car with little effort. The green skin is some government made material.
Gaz takes one look at Zim and assumes “vampire”, with extremely sharp teeth, hatred of sunlight and superhuman strength and agility. Zim’s “advanced technology” is just magic that looks like technology (like a spelldrive) and the green skin is a genuine skin condition that vampires can have.
All of them want Zim taken down, but none of them are willing to work together because of all of them disagreeing on what Zim actually is and just HOW he should be taken down.
But the thing is,
we as the viewer never see Zim.
We see parts of him, like his PAK and the weapons inside, or hints of his green skin or his true eyes glowing in the dark, with the rest of him hidden from view. He hear him a couple times as well. But we never see enough for us to come to the conclusion of what Zim is by ourselves.
The Membranes don’t completely prove anything either, as Zim always escapes before any of them can figure out what he is and what he wants.
We are also never shown Zim’s perspective or what his true motives are. We are only shown the perspectives of each Membrane, who all have different opinions on what they’re going up against with their own proof for their own case. So Zim’s actions and behaviours throughout the show just confuse us more as we, the viewers are left questioning which of the Membranes are right, or if they’re all wrong and Zim is something completely different.
The things learned about Zim can point in any direction as well. Water hurts him, but only like 50% of the time. Is it because he’s an alien with some inconsistent way of protecting himself against water, a robot that’s waterproofed in some areas but not others, a vampire that’s only hurt by holy water or is it because of some completely different reason? No one will ever know.
