The "cozycore" identity WotC's been pushing for D&D lately may be toothless and completely disconnected from the game's rules, but it's a reflection of how a lot of D&D "lifestylers" interact with the brand. This isn't a new creative direction, it's a business decision.

Power word: Discombobulate

It isn't crosses vampires have an issue with, it's right angles.

They're allergic

Only describe monster's power level as more or less dangerous than the average baby.

self-conscious weapons

not self-aware, just easily embarassed

My new favorite random bit of Fluff is about Cloakers from D&D, whose response to any humanoid they see is to try and eat it.
