So a long time ago I made these suggestions on my side account... but I've decided to edit and improve on them some.

Encounter 1: Bone Child
Art: A human child sitting in a small pile of bones, a rib bone in their hand, as they look toward you.
Text:
You come across a human child playing with some bones. They seem to be lost…
[Chase Away] or [Approach] or [Try To Lead Home]
If you choose Chase Away:
You roar and run toward the child. They shriek and run away, and you stop right before you crash into the pile of bones. You then take some for yourself. Finders keepers, losers weepers!
(You’ll lose 2-3 Karma. You’ll also receive three random skulls or bones.)
If you choose Approach:
You slowly approach the child. To your surprise, they seem unafraid of you. They run up to you and hug you, then leave you with a gift before they return to playing in their little pile of bones.
(You’ll receive 1-2 Stink Bugs, +1 Karma, and a random skull or bone. You’ll also have a small chance of receiving a new decor called Bone Child, which shows the child playing in their bone pile.)
If you choose Try To Lead Home:
You try to lead the child to a nearby village, but they won't go with you. Maybe they don't have a family. You part ways and they go back to their bones.
(No effect on Karma, has a chance of finding a Stink Bug.)

Encounter 2: Elemental Lions
Art: A group of four adolescent lions, each one manipulating one of the four elements (fire, water, earth, air).
Text:
What’s this? These young lions have control over the four elements!
[Confront] or [Inquire]
If you choose Confront:
Begins a battle with Elemental Lions.
If you choose Inquire:
You ask about these lions’ elemental abilities, to which they respond with a creative demonstration of these talents and what they can do with them, especially when they work together. They put on quite a show. Once they’re done, they each give you a little gift.
(You’ll receive 4 Stink Bugs.)

Encounter 3: Oily Lion
Art: A lion drenched in black oil, oil dripping from its mane, face, belly and tail.
Text:
This lion is covered in a nasty black liquid.
[End his misery] or [Get him clean]
If you choose End his misery:
You pounce on the lion and choke him to death. He’s not suffering anymore, but now that gross black stuff is all over you…
(You’ll receive 1-3 Stink Bugs, -1-2 Karma, and a new decor called Oily Fur, which is black oil stains on your lion’s fur.)
If you choose Get him clean:
You bring the lion to a waterfall to wash off the gross stuff. He thanks you with the utmost happiness in his eyes, giving you a gift of gratitude to remember him by.
(You’ll receive 1-3 Stink Bugs and +4-5 Karma.)

Encounter 4: The Human Cub
Art: Three white lions, an adult male with a golden mane, an adult female, and a cub, and a human child who is hugging the cub.
Text:
It seems these two lions have adopted a lost human child and are raising them alongside their cub.
[That’s Not Right] or [Awwww!]
If you choose That’s Not Right:
Begins a battle with White Lions.
If you choose Awwww!:
You watch and squee as the human child pets and hugs the cub. Noticing you, the white lions say hello and you talk for a bit. When it's time to go they give you a gift to remember them by.
(You’ll receive 1-2 Stink Bugs and +1 Karma. You’ll also have a small chance to receive a new decor called Unlikely Siblings, which is—you guessed it—the human child playing with the cub.)

Encounter 5: Lion Family
Art: Two lions, one an old adult male with wrinkles and a long, graying mane, and an adolescent with half his face badly ripped and scarred.
Text:
You meet a scarred young lion and a much older male. They seem to have a very strong bond.
[Attack] or [Say hello]
If you choose Attack:
Begins a battle with Lion Family.
If you choose Say hello:
You roar hello to the old lion. He greets you back, then introduces himself as a traveling herb dealer and the younger lion as his nephew. You chat for a while, learning the story behind the young one’s scars along with some other little tales. The old lion thanks you for your time with a small gift.
(You’ll receive 1-2 Stink Bugs, +2-3 Karma, and a random shaman herb.)

Encounter 6: Ragtag Animal Gang
Art: A lion, zebra, hippo and giraffe running around together.
Text:
What’s this? This lion, giraffe, zebra, and hippo seem to be friends.
[Attack] or [Make friends]
If you choose Attack:
Begins a battle with a Ragtag Animal Gang.
If you choose Make friends:
You say hello, and engage the lion in friendly conversation. All four animals understand you, as they want in on the conversation too. You let them, and you all have a great time together. When it’s time to say goodbye, they all leave you with a gift.
(You’ll receive 4 Stink Bugs and +3 Karma.)

Encounter 7: Animal Friends
Art: An adolescent male tigon with a gerbil, a small bird, a lizard, and a rat on his back, a meerkat on his head, and a fennec fox at his side.
Text:
In the absence of a pride, this tigon has gathered up various small animal friends.
[Free snacks?] or [Ask about them]
If you choose Free snacks?:
Begins a battle with a Tigon.
If you choose Ask about them:
The tigon introduces you to his little menagerie. He’s given them all odd yet creative names. As you depart, he and his little friends give you a little something.
(You’ll receive 2-3 Stink Bugs and +1-2 Karma. You also have a chance to get a new decor called Tigon and Friends, which shows the tigon and his animal friends.)

Encounter 8: Little Gang
Art: A white maneless male adolescent lion, a gray wolf, a reddish maned female adolescent, and a gray hyena cub with hints of blue.
Text:
Two adolescent lions, an adolescent wolf, and a hyena cub are prancing around.
[Confront] or [Talk]
If you choose Confront:
Begins a battle with a Wolf & Lions.
If you choose Talk:
The animals say hi to you. The white lion starts telling a tale of how they're on a quest to save the world or something, and the hyena cub won't leave your feet alone... The wolf and the other lion give you a little something to apologize for the trouble.
(You'll receive 1-2 Stink Bugs. You'll also have a chance of receiving a Scar: Anklebiter.)

Or some of these decors could be in the shop, who knows.

Im sorry, but no support. I’m sure I’m not the only one that comes to Lioden and appreciates that there aren’t pop culture references shoehorned into the site everywhere. There are a few subtle references and those are fine, but please. No more.

I have to see endless pop culture references everywhere else, please not here too. I know fandom stuff is appealing to some but to others it feels over-saturating and suffocating.
