The hero/protagonist comes home after a tiring day to find the villain/antagonist conked out in their rolling-chair, their cat snuggled on their lap. It appears they’ve fallen asleep waiting for them to come home to deliver their “I’ve been expecting you” speech.

i have an image i made last night while Not Sober that’s technically accurate but it mentions 9/11 so i will show it to you but you’re not allowed to get mad at me if you think it’s insensitive for mentioning 9/11
Trying really hard not to end up with a feed full of depressio's like my last Tumblr but like, I have nothing else to relate to.
things you can use in place of cultural monsters
Can't use golems in your fantasy world because they're beings that belong to Judaism and you aren't Jewish? Try using elementals!
Can't use w*nd*goag in your story because they're monsters from Native beliefs and you aren't Native? Try wraiths or forest spirits!
Can't use Skinwalkers, either? How about changelings, The Thing-type aliens or faeries?
Don't want to use Christian biblical angels? Try eldritch monstrosities from another world.
Don't want to namedrop La Llorona, Hachisukisama or the Cupecabrah? How about old-fashioned undead, zombies or ghosts?
Just because certain supernatural beings are only for certain groups, doesn't mean you have to limit your monsters! There's plenty of demographic-neutral alternatives to famous creatures that you can use without culturally appropriating or disrespecting people's beliefs.

I wonder if work just.. got harder in the 2000s, comparatively.

In every alternate dimension of Earth, a different religion is real and those deities actually exist. All religions that people believe in are valid- just perhaps not in their dimension. An interdimensional traveler goes to our dimension and is stunned to see that our Earth has no 'real' religion. Rather, it is the spawning point for the religions of the other dimensions.

"W-why did you do all of this? If I'm not the chosen one, then what was the point of training me?"
"To hurt you."
"To hurt me?"
"Yes. I needed to destroy you and make you into someone new. Into the new chosen one."
"Why am I needed at all? Who's the real chosen one?"
"I am. And I've failed."
