A fandom phenomina that states, essentially, if a given character in a work has a "good" and "evil" side or persona, the fandom will inevitably create a selfcest ship between the two. Named after the version of the Onceler from the 2012 Lorax film, which famously had a fanbase around the selfcest ship.
I saw some fanart of Simon Keyes from Ace Attorney Investigations 2 shipping him with himself. That's weird.
No, that's just Onceler's Law in action.

Originating from hit MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV (GCBTW), the law states that the more Ultimates (the highest/most difficult tier of content available) a person has cleared, the worse a player becomes due to arrogance, snobbery, and general "I don't give a fuck" attitude. The term was coined in a Discord call by resident elitist "Yui Mikazuki" when she noticed those making the most mistakes were "Heavens' Legends BTW".
This RDM can't figure out TItan gaols even with automarkers. "Heavens' Legend BTW". Yui's Law in effect.

Da "hanged if you do and hanged if you don't" fact-of-life irony regarding how a sizeable sector of da female populous treats any dude who shows interest in them romantically --- i.e., if a guy gets da idea from a gal's attitude/behavior towards him dat he should just mind his own business and not court her, she'll bawl and blubber dat he is making her feel ignored and unvalued. Yet if he then hastily begins persuing her in da naive belief dat this is what she wants, she'll go "bawlin' and blubberin" to da COPS and tearfully accuse him of harassing her! Can't win... :P
I always tread super-carefully when approaching a new lady for companionship or intimacy --- seems like Murphy's Law of Attentiveness is often lurking just around da corner to pounce on me and give me undeserved grief!

When Amy, the wife of Kate's ex-husband, wrote an article about Beth, Kate's current husband's ex-wife, some of their other-laws were confounded to realize that Amy and Beth's ships had not only passed; they had collided!

Milton's Law
"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, but only when Milton is watching."
Explanation:
Milton's Law posits that the presence of an observer named Milton—or someone who embodies Milton's unlucky aura—dramatically increases the probability of failure in any given scenario. This law suggests that even events with a low likelihood of error are susceptible to catastrophic outcomes when under Milton's watchful gaze.
Corollary to Murphy’s Law: While Murphy’s Law predicts failure as a general inevitability, Milton’s Law suggests failure is conditional, triggered specifically by Milton’s presence.

Applications:
1. Psychological Influence: Individuals may experience heightened anxiety or pressure when being observed, particularly by Milton, exacerbating the likelihood of mistakes.
2. Statistical Anomalies: Systems, machines, or processes appear to fail at an unreasonably high rate when Milton is nearby, regardless of prior reliability.
3. Practical Implications: Milton's Law serves as a humorous yet cautionary reminder of human fallibility under scrutiny. It is invoked to explain unexpected failures in otherwise routine tasks.
