When a past hookup continuously pops up in your life no matter how much time has time past. If you say their name 3 times they will appear sometime in the near future. You will never escape them, even on your wedding day. They will always be there.
Me: You'll never believe who just added me on snapchat after 3 years of silence
Friend: Weren't we just talking about him the other day?
Me: I knew we shouldn't have said his name! it's the bell effect!

The Maleficent DVD effect is a term used to describe the immense fear of a fictional character that also might've resided from a passion for the character. This fear could reside in nightmares, resurfacing of old fears from your childhood, etc. This term stems from my huge fear of Maleficent as a kid, and how when I woke up early in the morning, went to the living room, and would see the cover for the Maleficent movie DVD, I'd be scared out of my mind. It caused me to hide under blankets on the floor because I thought I saw her shadow and cast away anything that had Maleficent on it. The thing was, I was the one who wanted the DVD because we saw a bit of it at a drive-in, and I didn't get to see the full movie, so I ultimately became terrified of something I was deeply interested in.
Someone: "Dude... I started hyperfixating on Carrie like a month ago, and now, at the slightest mention of Carrie, I get nightmares, and my fear of the dark comes back. My dad had to take away the book and tell me to stop watching stuff about Carrie because of how scared I'd get."
Someone Else: "Yeah, sounds like the Maleficent DVD effect man."
Someone: "Huh?"
Someone Else: "Basically a fear of a specific fictional character that you like."
Someone: "Oh."

Turbulent Tree Effect (noun): A branch phenomenon of the Chaos Theory in which a system that is influenced by many factors produces random yet organized and fundamental patterns that are irregular and branching, resembling the shape of a tree or a fractal of chaotic properties.
From the veins of rivers that took decades to form, the root-like patterns of a lightning strike and the mayhem of turbulent smoke rising from a flame all inhibit the properties of the Turbulent Tree Effect.
Like fractals, the effect is a fundamental observations of the universe that seem random and unorganized. But these patterns are a result of harmonious entropy that makes nature stunning.
