The Rodriguez Effect

Not caring what critics say of your creative work because you know your work is good and you like it and that's all that matters. Inspired by Robert Rodriguez's film and television career: he wrote and directed The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl which was panned by critics, but the quirks and general weird vibes that defined the film are what sets it apart from other children's films and are the reason we're still talking about it.

(In 2020, Rodriguez directed The Tragedy, the 14th episode of The Mandalorian, which was met with critical acclaim and regarded by many as the best episode of the series. Do with that what you will.)

I was sad when my professor said my design wasn't successful during review, but then The Rodriguez Effect kicked in and I felt better instantly because I love my design and I know I'm already a legend.

aka effect

When a girl has joined a sorority and immediately starts acting as if she is better than everybody else and sort of like an asshole more than a woman of class.

I can't believe the aka effect has already gotten to Kira, she used to be so nice.
