For when this happens (minus the monkey face). Something that you took for granted or just didn't make sense, whether in a movie, on Neopets, in real life, or wherever, suddenly reaches a new level of significance as you realize some of the underlying implications.
Need not be fridge "brilliance", per se--good fridge horror and certain sections of garden variety fridge logic are good here--but that type of fridge leftover that deals with consistency issues and causes a negative feeling toward the creator can go get its own thread; let's stick to the brilliant/cool/Ialmostforgotaboutthatthingthatmakesthissomuchmoreinteresting stuff here.
For example, the Meridell we know eventually sank into ruin, and the form we daily access it in is through a window to the past (hence why there's a several-centuries-old painting of Jeran), and the realm isaccessible by hidden time-traveling mechanics.
For anything of significance (such as two full-scale wars) to occur within the time since it was rediscovered, the time bubble it exists in is still progressing, meaning that eventually (although it could be several hundred years), it ends up destroyed or abandoned again. Characters still age in this period (hence how Jeran went from a kid playing hide-and-seek to the young adult we see in the wars), but according to the second comic, Jeran Borodere is unfortuna-
...implying that sometime within a normal Neopet lifetime from the Meridell Wars, some sort of disaster happens.
Please let me know if I'm way off base with this, but it seems like good story fodder and I think I'll use it anyways
