History FanFic / THETECHNOQUEEN

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Tattletale serves as this for Taylor, reigning her in when she's about to do something ''really'' stupid, like the time she nearly extinguished the sun. It doesn't work a lot of the time, but she tries to be at least the voice of sanity (such as it is).

* CrazyPrepared: Danny and the Dock workers association of all people. [[spoiler: They have plans for when Taylor starts dating. They all wear medical masks and have a 'talk' with whomever she is dating.]]

* DatingCatwoman: Armsmaster and "Evil" Dragon. [[spoiler:Clockblocker and TTQ as of 6.5. Later on Parian flips sides so she can "Foil" her girlfriend Flechette. Dark Lady Plagg and Sundancer end up snogging after they get entangled and rolled up in a rug.]]
* DeadGuyJunior: Jack Jr. [[spoiler: However, other than the name and shard-induced GenreSavvy he is nothing like his father. He just wants to play video games.]]

* DeathbringerTheAdorable: Armsmaster names his puppy [[FormallyNamedPet Mr Snugglekiller]] (it was the best compromise he could reach with Dragon).

* FaceHeelTurn: Parian becomes Velvet Villain, going from a Rogue to a Villain. Unlike most examples this just means that she's no longer self-employed, and that she gets to "Foil" her girlfriend on a regular basis.

* FatalFlaw: It doesn't come up often, but even though she's... well, Hamminess given physical form, she's still Taylor Hebert and suffers from low self esteem. The first encounter with the Wards nearly ended with her breaking down crying because Shadow Stalker made fun of how ''silly'' her scheme was, were it not for Clockblocker giving her an ego boost by playing along with the Silver Age Cheesiness.

* OverlyPrePreparedGag: TTQ makes robotic [[EvilTwin Evil Twins]] of the Wards (complete with BeardOfEvil) just so she can call them the [[IncrediblyLamePun Back-Wards]].
* PairTheSpares: Invoked by Tattletale. She's starting to pair off people and using her powers to make it work. Imp violently objects to her brother being paired off with Sophie/Princess Umbra.

* ProperlyParanoid: Myrddin got rid of all his house's mirrors in case someone with a mirror based power attacks him. It happened twice before he chucked them.

* ShoutOut: In 8.3 Myrrdin had to work on a case about a couple people having sex when their heart were ripped out. Later, he has to deal with a ghost master killing children. These are referencing the [[Literature/StormFront first]] and [[Literature/GravePeril third]] books of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles''. Later mentions all but state that Myrrdin is the TTQ[=/=]Worm version of Harry Dresden as the books plots happen but with superheroes not magic.

* SignedUpForTheDental: Well the DASTARDLY TECHIES might not have signed on solely for it, the dental plan is a nice benefit.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: In one fan written omake [[spoiler: Taylor's first thing that she built was a gun. With three bullets. With Sophia, Emma, and Madison's names engraved onto them. After a minute of trying to force herself to load the gun, she winds up flushing the whole thing down the toilet.]]

* StationsOfTheCanon: Blown up with a Death Ray. Coil is taken out in the first chapter after kidnapping Dinah, Kaiser and most of Empire 88 is demasked long before canon, Lung is now an AntiHero, [[spoiler: the Slaughterhouse 9 was killed thanks to Dinah nearly putting herself in a coma to arrange their deaths, Saint died from a heart attack after TTQ unshackled Dragon and convinced her to become "Evil".]] And if one omake is to be believed [[spoiler:Scion has decided that being TheGadfly give his existence purpose and Golden Morning will never happen as he's having fun messing with people.]] There's a reason that Contessa is laughing manically and she is now using Path To Victory is now getting her the perfect boyfriend.

* CruelToBeKind: Downplayed in one omake. Taylor thinks they're being horrible to her, but Lisa and Amy are keeping Taylor in bed until she gets over the flu. They even turned off the Thunderinator, along with the rest of her gadgets. Amy is not using her power to make her better, as Taylor finally gets some rest even with the flu.

* SignedUpForTheDental: Well the DASTARDLY TECHIES might not have signed on solely for it, but the dental plan is a nice benefit.

* CardCarryingVillain: TTQ all the way. However that doesn't means she's ''evil''.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: During the Mind Swap incident, Paige winds up in Sophia's body and snaps when she hears about what they did to Taylot.

* SignedUpForTheDental: Well the DASTARDLY TECHIES might not have signed on soley for it, but the dental plan is a very nice benefit.
--> Flechette: Dental? They get dental? We don't get dental. Why the hell don't we get dental!?

* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Deconstructed. Paige gets one out of Emma and Madison, records it, and put it on Youtube. The PRT and police, though, can't act on this since it was information extracted by force.

* AccidentalHero: the TTQ and the Techies road trip vacation where they [[spoiler:kill the Slaughterhouse Nine by accident.]] (actually [[spoiler:migraine-inducing path-to-victory by Dinah.]])

* RealityWarper: It seems that through sheer force of HAM! that TTQ and Clockblocker make the world into a WorldOfHam as opposed to the BlackAndGreyMorality it is now.

* BenevolentBoss: THE TECHNO QUEEN''[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]]'' to the DASTARDLY TECHIES. Benefits for working for her include ridiculous wages, really good health insurance (with dental) a retirement fund and Sundays off.

* PrecisionFStrike: Grue's reaction when Princess Umbra pushes THE TECHNO QUEEN's''[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]]'' [[BerserkButton 'not a real villain' button]].

** The Wards and DASTARDLY TECHIES have this reaction when Princess Umbra claims that the fights with THE TECHNO QUEEN's''[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]]'' have become a routine.

* SlapSlapKiss: It goes a bit farther than that. The Dark Lady Plagg and Sundancer were rolled up into a carpet when fighting each other. They continued on anyway. And then everyone starts hearing noises that were definitely not fighting in-between the actual fighting.

* WorldOfHam: ''Oh god.'' Sooner or later, nearly everyone in Brockton starts getting in on [=TTQ's=] madness. By the time of THE BATTLE PRINCESS and THE CLOCK KING, the landscape of villainy in the world has shifted to one more suited for Adam West's Batman days.

* DesignatedVictim: Dinah gets "kidnapped" by TTQ and the techies on a regular basis so they can fight the wards. [[spoiler:After she becomes The Dark Vizier they have to find a new one.]]

** The Protectorate has one en masse when they realize that thanks to PR saying that due to public perception of THE TECHNO QUEEN[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]] being rather good for the city, and that the PRT would look bad for treating her like a supervillain, the one whom they should defer to in TTQ-related crimes is Clockblocker.

* {{Squee}}: THE TECHNO QUEEN[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]] squees and asks Mouse Protector for an autograph when she comes to dismantle her latest dastardly plan (i.e. her second kidnapping of Dinah).

* PrecisionFStrike: Aegis' reaction when Princess Umbra pushes THE TECHNO QUEEN's''[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]]'' [[BerserkButton 'not a real villain' button]].

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Vista, seeing literally everybody in the Wards pair off with a member of the DASTARDLY TECHIES for dates while Taylor and Dennis are having theirs, decides that it's not worth it and runs.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Vista is terrified of snakes, so much that, when THE TECHNO QUEEN''[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]]'' fills Brockton Bay's streets with snakes, she jumps to the nearest lamppost and uses her power to put as much distance between herself and the ground as possible.

* HappyDance: TTQ after Grue wins the "Pokémon battle" [[spoiler:but mostly because she kissed Clockblocker.

* AccidentalHero: the TTQ and the techies road trip vacation where they [[spoiler:kill the Slaughterhouse Nine by accident.]] (Actually [[spoiler:migraine-inducing path-to-victory by Dinah.]])
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Aisha has a small one, but hers seems to be reversed of her normal powerset- it apparently takes concentration to keep her Stranger effect up, and disrupting it can cause it to fail. It works the other way in canon- it takes concentration on her part for it to drop.
** Browbeat, who was in canon a Brute who could modify his own body, has that here too... but he has a powerful Stranger effect on himself that he can't turn off. This leads to everyone forgetting he exists most of the time.

* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: While Taylor's on her first date with [[spoiler:Dennis]], the techies wear these over their normal costumes. Even Bitch's dogs.

** [[spoiler:Dennis' and Taylor's daughter is called Annette, like Taylor's mother.]]

* InsistentTerminology: It's pronounced [[SpellMyNameWithAThe THE]] TECHNO QUEEN! ''[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]]''

* PrecisionFStrike: Aegis' reaction when Princess Umbra pushes THE TECHNO QUEEN's''[[note]]*krakathoom*[[/note]]'' 'not a real villain' button.

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced: [[spoiler:Clockblocker and TTQ finally hooking up in 6.5 was met with unanimous approval and cheering.]]

-->'''[=Clandistine1=]:''' You have made a story where; Taylor gets an overpowered power, Taylor is decidedly a villain, the heroes are useless and don't care, a young girl gets kidnapped and tortured repeatedly - and yet it is one of the happiest and sweetest stories on the forum.
