For no particular reason, decided to detail the running gag of Joey & Lauren's characters wanting nothing to do with each other in every show.

Obviously concentrating on their primary characters.

AVPM, AVPS, AVPSY

Joey: Ron Weasley

Lauren: Malfoy

For anyone who's read the books, we all know that these two would prefer to kill each other. Besides, Malfoy is in a committed relationship with his Dora the Explorer doll.

MAMD

Joey: Joey

Lauren: *absent*

Difficult to have a relationship of any kind when one of you is missing entirely.

STARSHIP

Joey: Bug

Lauren: Taz / Bugette

This is a tricky one. Bugette is clearly into Bug, but he's in love with February. Taz, on the other hand, wants to blow him into itty bitty pieces.

HOLY MUSICAL B@MAN!

Joey: *absent*

Lauren: Commissioner Gordon

Difficult to have a relationship of any kind when one of you is missing entirely.

TWISTED

Joey: *absent*

Lauren: Monk / Guard

Difficult to have a relationship of any kind when one of you is missing entirely.

ANI

*both absent*

Maybe this is the one musical where they got to be a couple... just not on stage.

TRAIL TO OREGON

Joey: Bandit King

Lauren: Son

One is a child, the other wants to burn that child and his family to death.

FIREBRINGER

Joey: Grunt

Lauren: Zazzalil

Zazzalil prefers Jemilla, and Grunt prefers Emberly.

TGWDLM and TGWDLM:R

Joey: Ted Spankoffski

Lauren: Emma Perkins

Emma finds Ted repulsive. Emma is not the 'latte hotte' of Ted's desire.

BLACK FRIDAY

Joey: Uncle Wiley/Wilbur Cross

Lauren: Linda Monroe

Although Wilbur draws Linda into Wiggly's presence, and gives her power as cult leader, after that they don't share any scenes. There's uncertainty here about how they feel about each other, but it's a moot point since Linda is killed just a few hours later.

NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE

Joey: Peter Spankoffski

Lauren: Ruth Fleming

Despite being on the same side, Peter doesn't find Ruth attractive. It could be said that, had Peter shown Ruth any interest, Ruth would have probably latched onto him like a limpet.

VHS CHRISTMAS CAROLS

Joey: Bob Cratchit

Lauren: Emily Cratchit

Wait, they're a married couple playing a married couple?! That can't be right....

CINDERELLA'S CASTLE

Joey: Crumb

Lauren: Rancilda Ashmore

The brave little mouse who wants to be a knight, and the evil troll who wants to eat him.

TOMB QUEST

Joey: Kevin Baker

Lauren: Sammy

I haven't seen Tomb Quest yet, so I don't know how their characters feel about each other. If you do, feel free to comment, but put a spoiler tag on it please.

New episode of Map Men just dropped, and they talk about how 'chalk' hills are formed.

The areas of Britain they discuss are those that were (presumably) an inspiration for the location of The Chalk, where Tiffany Aching lives.

Can't create a poll, but use the like/dislike buttons to cast your vote.

I'm not a mod, but if the votes are clearly Yes, then perhaps we can persuade the mods.

Obviously there is a difference between fiction about AI, and fiction created by AI. It is the latter I'm talking about.

Personally, I think there should be a 'No AI-generated content' rule, that would apply to images, videos, music, and written works.

Edit: after 24 hours, the upvote ratio is at 92.7% That's a conclusive result. Anyone know how we persuade the mods to add the rule?

Thanks Joey!

I've seen most of these, but there's a few new ones there. Including James Marsters having his 'face' applied.

Just a reminder since the last post here was two days ago, and we can't all be expected to have seen that.

(Mods: this is not a repeat, this is a reminder. Seriously, we can't all be scrolling back two days to see what's up.)
