Fortunately, she may yet become the protagonist of a bestselling novel :)

Unfortunately, she has her moment of glory stolen by another mouse-like character in a different bestselling novel...

Fortunately, a titmouse is a kind of bird, not a kind of mouse :P

Unfortunately, this witch does not google things before she opens her mouth, which ends in many a mishap that eventually lead to WWIV (not claiming ownership over WWIII, pretty sure the Americans will take care of that one before I get there...)

Fortunately, as the old adage says, WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones, and as another adage says, those can break bones but are usually non-fatal, so the whole thing is fairly anticlimactic.

Unfortunately, I now have a very terrible song stuck in my head and can no longer be productive at anything, thanks.

Fortunately, this means you can't produce WWIV :)

Unfortunately, my plans of preventing WWIII from happening, have also been thwarted...

Fortunately, WWIII is stopped anyway when everyone discovers a new purpose, a new goal in life. A new source of worship, wisdom, and power.

Is it a deity? Is it a great leader? Is it the Mighty Mushroom of Mundifron?

If you guessed c you were right, it is absolutely the Mighty Mushroom of Mundifron.

Unfortunately,  the Mighty Mushroom of Mundifron is only interested in bringing about the apocalypse, so that's not very helpful...

Fortunately that's a mistranslation in the Holy Spore Book of Mundifron. The mushroom is actually interested in bringing about the alpacalypse, which is much fluffier.

Fortunately, biospheres containing earth's species and life get to escape the alpaca takeover, piloted deep into space.

This thread almost inevitably ends up with an apocalypse, or how humanity is fundamentally doomed... whilst that is depressing and perhaps true, it's a fairly boring thing to follow on from.

Fortunately Tusky does so anyway, by using randomness.  The Mighty Mushroom of Mundifron releases a tabloid newspaper column called "all my spores".
