With the hundreds of stories flying about I think its high time that the Sporewiki universes deserve lists of their own "fridge realisations"

What is a fridge realisation? A fridge realisation is a thought or idea that comes a time after reading or watching a story. The idea or conclusion that hits you expands on the events of the story or the immersion of the faction.

The key thing to remember is that a fridge-realisation must be largely independent of the creator's word. It's something that you realise about the fiction, character or story. But due to how our fictions evolve I think it would be okay for creators to put forward fridge realisations users may have made about their own fictions some time after making them.

The three fridge types
 * Fridge logic: A concept makes sense as you are reading, a bit later it becomes confusing or at worst, a plot hole.
 * Fridge Brilliance: A concept that is either innocuous or confusing at first, a bit later something clicks where it makes a lot of logical sense.
 * Fridge Horror: Can mix with "Nightmare Fuel"; a concept that is innocuous at first, a bit later you realise how dreaded a thing the concept is.

The key source of a fridge moment is the reader isn't told within the story or explicitly stated by the creator. It is something to be worked out.
