Y'know, what with all the martial arts series out there, I've never seen something like this.
Attack of the Fashion Ninjas.
(It'd fit quite well in a Ranma 1/2 universe actually.)

(It'd fit quite well in a Ranma 1/2 universe actually.) Wasn't there a canon story arc in Ranma 1/2 where Ranma had to stay in girl form and wear the best outfits? (remembering while typing) Wait - there was such an arc, but it was about good manners, not fashion.

Carlos Ruiz knew himself for a hardened badass. He'd killed at least 5 people himself (the two drive-by shootings with his whole posse complicated the math), and had at least a dozen killed on his orders. 90% of the drug traffic in this quarter of the state passed through his hands, and Cartels treated with him as an independent worthy of respect, rather than a small-timer to be annexed or crushed. Not of which stopped him from cringing as the curly-haired old man leaned closer, examining Ruiz with that same distracted, absentminded air he'd used when spraying Ortiz with that chemical that had... had... dissolved him. Or pointing that little glowy thing that had left Hernandez drooling and gibbering on the floor, slowly clawing the flesh of his arms. Or when he'd first stepped through the wall that had simply dissolved out of his way, trailed by that pretty black woman who had, terrifyingly, simply looked resigned and a bit embarrassed about the entire situation.
Said woman was checking her phone. "Walter? I just got a message from Olivia -- we have to go."
The old man seemed to take a moment to come back from wherever his mind had wandered as he stared through Ruiz. "Oh? Oh! Well, then, I suppose we'll just have to go, then, won't we?" He sighed. "And I had such plans for this one -- he would have made an excellent subject. And example, of course. Very well, Astro, get the car, if you would be so kind. I'll be right along."
The woman twitched slightly, threw Ruiz an apologetic look that frightened him even more, and ducked out through the gap where most of his South wall used to be.
"Now, as for you, young man..." That mild, chiding tone was more terrifying than any such genial, scholarly speech had any right to be. "Today is your lucky day. But remember this:" And suddenly the absentminded expression vanished, replaced by a horrible, piercing focus. "One should never meddle in the affairs of mad scientists, for you are scum, and no one will miss you if I decide to make you part of my... experiments." And just like that, the genial, distracted mien was back. "Anyway, I have to run before Astra starts honking the horn. You have a nice evening, yes? Oh! Here, try one of my new special gummy worms -- I guarantee you'll love it!" Suiting action to words, the old man pulled a (slightly lint-y) wriggling candy from his pocket and popped it into Ruiz's gaping mouth. Obdiently, Ruiz started chewing, staring as the old man smiled at him in grandfatherly approval before turning and following the woman out, humming a jaunty tune and sort of dancing along to it.
When the acid trip hit a few seconds later, Ruiz found it downright peaceful by comparison.
...okay. So, this started as a "We've swapped Walter Bishop and Walter White" idea, but the problem was that left the Fringe side of the swap to get curbstomped by the MOTW due to Insufficient Mad Science on their side. But after toying with the idea a bit, I came up with this: what if Walter Bishop was Walter White, aka the drug lord Heisenberg? Walter's day job is saving the world with Fringe Division, but on the side he keeps experimenting with Mad Science and creates narcotics to fund his off-the-books research. The result is... actually more than a little scary.

With the school closed for a week due to a gas leak, Kyon had hoped to catch up on his sleep, get the huge stack of homework assigned finished, and maybe spend some time hanging out with Haruhi and the SOS-dan. Instead, he was being dragged along to the train station to go investigate strange things happening in another city! He really had no idea what Haruhi expected to find in Fuyuki, but was certain that it would be a troublesome affair...
MoHS & F/SN: Who would flip harder, Haruhi on discovering the mages or the mages on discovering Haruhi?

Captain Picard pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, tightly, "What you're telling me, Q, is that the Continuum lost *another* immature Q, and she's interfering in Earth's past?"
Q smiled his infuriating smile. "Correct in one, mon capitaine. And I want to borrow your ship to pick her up. Twentieth-century Japan, a young girl with the improbable name of...Haruhi Suzimiya."

Wrong thread there, Duane. At least, I'd read the heck out of it.

Probably shouldn't be, but is - at least, as one image.
I'm doing images for the Poser and Daz Studio Free Resources Wiki - the current freebie is "The Magical Dress Platinum." We're all Yoko Kanno fans here, so we get the reference immediately - third-season Card Captor Sakura.
First problem: this dress is for a teen, not a pre-teen.
Second problem: I don't have Sakura Kinomoto's hairdo in my collection.
Solution to both problems - put a different magical girl in the outfit. Who to pick... (looks through collection) ...only one choice: Homura Akemi. She is a dreamer, too - isn't she?

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.

Combine it with the shadow over innsmouth, and I think we have a plot line of criminal fish men.

The Shellfish Gene
by Peter Porter
In theory Evolution's just as open
To altruism as to selfishness
But as the waters lave me I betoken
No abstraction beyond shellfishness.
The problem is our tide-warped mensuration.
We live not long, our scale is planetary;
Just single soldiers of a warrior nation,
Time-truncated, ex-explanatory.
I can't be pictured but in diagram,
Yet this one shell's to me a satrapy—
A trillion more of me and still I am
Like Atreus's House an atrophy.
‘The Rocks! The Rocks!’ ten thousand voices quicken.
Some self-inspired things from sea have waddled
And others seen their adaptation sicken,
Myself in sheer adjacence safely swaddled.
