Mona Lisa Principle

The notion that while there isn't necessarily something wrong with someone/something, the two elements aren't a match.

"Dude, why did y'all break up?"
"Classic Mona Lisa Principle. She was beautiful, mysterious, and intriguing, but (pointing to my brain) didn't match a damn thing in my house."

Aerith-Hinawa Principle

The Aerith-Hinawa Principle states that in a video game where you’re allowed to pick names for your characters, you should never name them after your loved ones. Named after two of the most traumatizing character deaths in video game history: Aerith from Final Fantasy VII, and Hinawa from Mother 3. A lot of people named these two after people they loved, and it only made their deaths that much worse.

Lucas: For my first Nuzlocke run, I’m naming all of my Pokémon after my closest friends!

Cloud: Please reconsider. I take it you’re unfamiliar with the Aerith-Hinawa Principle?
