I thought he mentioned the hairy toes?

He was only afraid of the hairy toes until he saw LotR, at which point he became deeply enamoured of them. (They reminded him of Elijah Wood.)

I know this has been done to death, but ever time I see OMWF and Xander and Anya pester Giles for some way to stop this thing it annoys me. Xander doesn't even look embarrassed
I don’t think he knew that whatever he did lead to all of those incidents at the time he was talking to Giles. If I recall correctly, Giles even said he didn’t know whether things were related. And Sunnydale has (had) no shortage of demony things, so he could have thought something else was causing the combustible persons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I fixed your link, Narrator. Extra space.

As I recall, it wasn't until Sweet started talking about the amulet that they realized that was what called him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don’t think he knew that whatever he did lead to all of those incidents at the time he was talking to Giles.
So what did Xander think he was doing that he thought would be fun and have a happy ending? I don't buy it.

I'll have to rewatch but I believe Xander and Anya were complaining to Giles about putting a stop to the singing and dancing and that's when Giles told them the combustionews. We know that Xander was well aware of what he did and that it would bring the fun in, so why does he act terribly confused about the source of the fun? We're supposed to believe that Xander disingenuously seeked out Giles to complain about a phenomenon that he knowingly caused. It's not just out of character, it plays like a continuity mistake albeit in the same episode.
