I've seen this a lot and I bet you have too; when a publisher puts out a blurb for a scifi/fantasy/what have you book that basically just describes one bit of representation, a vague description of a pairing trope, and then maybe something that barely has to do with the genre. I've seen it in book reviews and recommendations as well, where you take a book into a quick phrase that overall is a really cynical way to describe rep and doesn't explain anything about the story. Something like:
PANSEXUAL ALCHEMISTS. ENEMIES TO MURDERERS TO RESURRECTED LOVERS. THREE UNIVERSES EACH WITH A SPACE STATION. NEED I SAY MORE? 😏
Another example is the cynical "just use the comps as the pitch line even on the official book descriptions and metadata" type, like so:
THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE-OFF MEETS JURASSIC PARK 3 BUT WITH REP.
So I dare ya to make one of your own because the cynical-ness of this feels like it could be goofed on, especially the big publisher blurb style where they tell you so little about your book's actual plot or characters or anything. It can be your WIP or just something absurd you make up for this, whatever you wanna do! The less plot and character in your blurb the better!
See also this post for the vibe.
I'mma try it with Rising Shards.
LESBIAN MEET CUTE IN MONSTER GIRL SCHOOL. ENOUGH SAID. 😏
So yeah something like that!

I was diagnosed as autistic (technically Asperger’s but that’s completely out of date now) and recently got diagnosed with adhd. I never wanted to step on the toes of the adhd community either.
nd culture is being diagnosed as adhd but then later wondering if you're also autistic but being afraid to self diagnose because there's so much overlap and you don't wanna step on the toes of the autistic community

Tim is so done right now.

and to all neo-nazis alive today,
I am shaking with the need for a fic where Damian is forced to go on a field trip with his class to Wayne Enterprises
Field trip to Stark Industries style
Like he goes and his brother is the CEO and there’s a conference call and Bruce is on the phone and is like “how’s my wonderful son”
Tim likes to single Damian out to embarrass him but if anyone gives Damian any shit, Tim goes CEO on his ass
I post when I feel like it. My brain screams at me a lot.
