A Misanthropic Writer's Prayer

O Lord,
with thy Wisdom vast
and in thy Mercy infinite
Please watch over me and my creations
And lead me not into the temptation
Of searching for Rule 34 of my characters
And may nothing I ever say
Or write
Or do
Ever turn up on TVTropes
With fifteen references to anime
All of which I have never seen
For that
O Lord
Would certainly suck out loud¹

Yours very truly,
Amen

You could do like George RR Martin and Anne Rice and just write the rule 34 stuff into your characters from the beginning.

Now I am tempted to hunt down TVTropes articles.
