History Fanfic / JannaVsTheForcesOfEvil

* NoodleIncident: Among all the things Janna has done to make the lives of the janitors, cafeteria staff, and librarians at Echo Creek a nightmare is an unspoken incident that only makes them loath her more.

* MagicGenetics: Moon reasons that Janna being part of some royal magic bloodline is why she's capable of using magic without a wand, to say nothing of how much magic potential she has. [[spoiler: Janna later meets another human who's also capable of wandless magic, who reveals that magic has been taught in his family from father-to-son for generations.]]

* ReCut: ''Janna vs. the Forces of Darkness'' serves as this. Events are given greater contextualization within the larger story arc, alongside other writing tweaks, and efforts are made to separate the fanfic's lore even further away from the show's canon than before.

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Surprisingly averted for [[ForWantOfANail this genre of fanfic]]. Due to the backstory and lore changes, the only chapter that mirrors any canon episode to a substantial degree is "Monster Arm", which is the ''[=JvtFOE=]'' version of... well, "[[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E5MonsterArm Monster Arm]]". And after the show's third season, Valdor announced that the fic would be going forward "independently of whatever asinine decisions the show makes."

* TakeThat: Valdor and [=SKL=] are pretty open about their dislike of the actual show from season three onwards in the authors' notes and on their Tumblr, to the point that the former wrote what amounts to [[https://therussohousehold.tumblr.com/post/174344717728/im-done-with-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil an essay about how awful that season was]]. This dislike occasionally slips into the fanfic itself.

* TheUnapologetic: Jackie remarks that Janna is this trope when urging her to apologize to Marco in one chapter. Janna silently agrees, thinking about how much she hates apologizing but noting that Marco has been the one exception to this rule for a good while.

* JerkassRealization: Janna has one in "Date Night", after Jackie summarizes everything that has happened in the past few days.

* ShipTease: Marco and Janna. Half the school is convinced that they're either a couple or are going to become one, with characters saying as much when the topic comes up. Marco's parents are especially convinced that the duo are destined to be together, as they themselves had a similar "prankster and victim" relationship in high school. [[spoiler:Janna realizes that she may have actually developed a crush on Marco shortly after.]]

* EmotionControl: "Date Night" has Janna practicing "personality magic" under Glossaryck's insistence, though he warns never to mess with love and hate outside of a last resort, due to how difficult and volatile they are to manage. Janna messes with them anyway.

* AlternateUniverseFic: Rather than a hyperactive magic princess from another dimension getting send to Earth, only the Magic Book of Spells makes the trip, with Glossaryck naming Janna the book's new owner shortly after. We later learn that some variant of the canon show's first two seasons had already taken place before hand (as far as Mewni events go) as [[spoiler: Toffee (controlling Ludo's body on-and-off) has already usurped the throne and is trying to gain access to the source of all magic for... something]]. Meanwhile, Star herself has been missing for months, with no one having any idea where she could possibly be.

* IngestingKnowledge: Ishkilthul, Demon of Knowledge, does this. Janna ends up trading him the internet for... the answers for her math homework, allowing him to suck up all the information on the internet and place anyone who was using into a comatose state as he sucks up ''their'' knowledge as well. Even after she and Marco get him to stop, the internet is still gone for the rest of the fic.

* ReCut: ''Janna vs. the Forces of Darkness'' serves as this. Events are given greater contextualization alongside minor writing tweaks, and efforts are made to separate the fanfic's lore even further away from the show's canon than before. The writers have also expressed plans to do ''another'' recut after finishing this, with that second one being a DivorcedInstallment.

* TrappedInTVLand: In "The Second-Hand Crusade", Janna accidentally triggers a spell that a writer put on his scripts during a table read at a show panel. Her, Marco, Jackie, and Joleen are forced to play out the episode's events before being allowed to leave, and all of them (sans Janna) are compelled to think they're their respective characters as well. Joleen, who's a huge fan of the series in question, loves every second of it.

* IngestingKnowledge: Ishkilthul, Demon of Knowledge, does this. Janna ends up trading him the internet for... the answers for her math homework, allowing him to suck up all the information on the internet and place anyone who was using into a comatose state as he sucks up ''their'' knowledge as well. Even after they get him to stop, the internet is still gone for the rest of the fic.

* OCStandIn: Janna inadvertently became this, as the fanfic began before the canon character became an AscendedExtra. While she shares basic personality traits with the show's Janna, the Janna of this fic has the last name of Russo (rather than Ordonia), is of Italian descent (rather than Filipino), and is raised by a single mother alongside a younger sister (rather being an only child with a mother and father). She also has a friendlier relationship with Marco, with the duo coming to see each other as best friends over the course of the fic.

Janna Russo views life in her hometown of Echo Creek to be pretty boring, with its disappointing lack of mystic portals, eldritch abominations, or any other otherworldly elements. And the troublemaker's years of attempts to liven things up have all proven to be failures in the long run. Thankfully, that all changes when one of those aforementioned mystical portals she's always dreamed of suddenly opens up in the sky and spits out a gigantic spell book into a nearby dumpster. With resident safe kid Marco Diaz along for the ride to help mitigate all the inevitable damage, Janna is now on the path to become a sorceress who is about to make things a little weird and a little wild. Of course, this begs a few questions: where did the Magic Book of Spells come from? Why is Janna the only one able to read it? And who used to own this thing anyway?

** Pony Head, one of the show's most [[TheScrappy base-breaking characters]], is never seen. She's only described with phrases like "the worst person you know multiplied by cancer" when others ask about her.

* TooProudToBeg: Janna is usually this. In "Pinkslipped", Glossaryck had to go behind her back to get Marco's help after [[spoiler: a training session made Janna's family homeless]].

Janna Russo views life in her hometown of Echo Creek to be pretty boring, with its disappointing lack of mystic portals to other worlds and eldritch abominations, and the troublemaker's years of attempts to liven things up have all proven to be failures in the long run. Thankfully, to her immense joy, that all changes when one of those aforementioned mystical portals she's always dreamed of suddenly opens up in the sky, and spits out a gigantic spell book into a nearby dumpster.

* ForWantOfANail: "What if the magic instruction book was sent to earth, but Star stayed behind?" As noted above, there are a number of other changes beyond this, but this is the main question the story is built upon.
