The theme of honor in King Arthur can be twisted into a Pulp Fiction - like story. Maybe a character believes in a certain code of honor in the seedy underworld of crime. They might not kill innocent people or they might keep their word even when it's not convenient. This would add an interesting layer to the typically gritty and amoral world of Pulp Fiction, similar to how honor was a key aspect in the Arthurian tales.
The concept of a quest from King Arthur can also be used. Instead of a knight searching for the Holy Grail, in a Pulp Fiction - inspired story, a character could be on a quest to find a lost suitcase full of something valuable (similar to the mysterious briefcase in Pulp Fiction). Along the way, they could face many obstacles and strange characters, just as Arthur's knights faced challenges on their quests.
One way is to use Springfield as a backdrop for a noir - ish story. Just like in 'Pulp Fiction', there could be seedy underbellies in Springfield. Maybe there are illegal gambling dens or underground fight clubs where the characters interact in a similar way to the ones in 'Pulp Fiction'.
One way could be to have a character in a seedy underworld encounter a cult dedicated to Cthulhu. This cult could be involved in illegal activities like drug trafficking or assassinations, but all in the name of awakening the Great Old One. The character could then be caught up in a web of mystery and danger as they try to expose or escape the cult, much like the characters in Pulp Fiction get involved in various criminal intrigues.
One way is to make it a part of a crime scene. For example, the villain could use the toaster to burn evidence, like papers, into unrecognizable ashes. Or the hero could find a clue in the toaster, like a small piece of a map that was accidentally toasted along with the bread.
A spider could be a villain in the pulp fiction story. For example, it could be a man - sized or even larger spider that attacks the characters.
Citations in 'Pulp Fiction' are incorporated through dialogue. Characters mention other movies, music, and cultural elements. For example, they might talk about an old song that then plays in the background, creating a connection.
One way is to use it as a plot device. For example, the beverage could be poisoned, and the main character has to figure out who did it before it's too late. Just like in classic pulp fiction where there are often such devious plots.
The 'humble pig' could be a central mystery in the pulp fiction story. For example, it could be a pig that has some sort of special power or knowledge, and different characters are either trying to protect it or steal it from it. This could create a lot of action and intrigue in the typically fast - paced pulp fiction setting. And as the story unfolds, we learn more about the pig's significance and how it relates to the other elements of the story.
One way is to make the birthday the setting for a crime. For example, a murder could take place during a birthday party. The chaos and presence of many guests could provide good cover for the perpetrator. Another way is to have a character's birthday be the day they receive a mysterious package or message that sets off the events of the pulp fiction story, like a threat or a clue to a long - lost treasure.
One way is to have a character who is a beekeeper and also grows pumpkins. The mystery could revolve around the disappearance of the honey and the vandalism of the pumpkin patch. Maybe the beekeeper suspects a rival farmer.
Another similarity might be in the characters. King Arthur is a central and iconic character in his tales, representing leadership and a certain set of values. In Pulp Fiction, characters like Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield are also very iconic. They have their own codes and values (although very different from Arthur's chivalry). These characters drive the stories forward and are memorable in their own right, much like King Arthur in his legend.
