The Mel Effect

Based on world-renown virtual youtuber "Yozora Mel", it is the illusion caused by the person in question wearing clothing that comes no higher than the upper breast area, and just before the shoulder. This illusion causes any on-lookers to get the impression the person in question could be naked.

I thought I saw Ashley butt-naked in her backyard from over the fence, but it was just the Mel effect and she was actually wearing a shoulderless crop top.

Homelander Effect 

When an actor, like Antony Starr, melds into their role so perfectly, like Homelander, the two identities are inseparable. May or may not dictate acting career to similar characters in other movies, shows or videogames. Other examples are Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo Fring, RDJ as Tony Stark, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator.

Friend one: I saw Antony Starr across the street last week and was lowkey scared that he was going to fly into the air and Lazer eye someone
Friend two: ah, classic Homelander Effect.

Chronicler Effect

When one adopts the persona of having a crush on someone not available to them (usually because they are fictional or along-dead historical figures) for the sake of a joke for so long that one develops a legitimate crush on them.

Named after a member of a history-themed discord server who acted as a chronicler of all the events occurring (this happens to be me lol).

Chronicler: I say Anna Komnene my beloved, but is it sad that I think I legitimately have a bit of a crush on her now?

Sokrates: Same, I think I might have actually got the Chronicler Effect. I 've got an actual crush on Belisarius as well!
