History Fanfic / OneHelluvaBrokenDay

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31248146/chapters/77239772 One Helluva Broken Day]]'' is a crossover between the ''Website/SCPFoundation'' and ''WebAnimation/{{Hellaverse}}'' written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/TheSilentAssassin TheSilentAssassin.]]

* HeroicBSOD: Heroic is not a word used to describe Blitzo but, after violently denying that the world has ended, gets shown irrefutable proof of the effects of 001, to say that he didn't take it well would be an understatement.
* HellSeeker: SCP-343 mentions [[spoiler:that 106 likely kidnapped C.H.E.R.U.B because he plans to use their suffering to attract Heaven's attention and end up banished to Hell. The reason being with Earth gone, he wants a new "hunting ground". While everything 343 says [[UnreliableNarrator has to be taken with a grain of salt]], a latter scene shows 106 berating C.H.E.R.U.B for not screaming loud enough as "[[TheArmiesOfHeaven they]]" can't hear them]].

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31248146/chapters/77239772 One Helluva Broken Day]]'' is a crossover between the ''Website/SCPFoundation'', ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'', and ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/TheSilentAssassin TheSilentAssassin.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: ZigZagged. The story has higher stakes then Helluva Boss, with I.M.P facing death or fates even worse far more regularly then their canon counterparts do. But it's overall a much more hopeful story then the [=SCP=] article it's based on, which was one of the most bleak CosmicHorrorStories in the entire site.

* DestinationDefenestration: After being annoyed by SCP-1879-2, Lucifer throws him out a window. Thanks to the [=SCP's=] teleportation powers, he just gets back up and annoys Lucifer again.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Justin (who's gone a month without seeing another normal human) is extremely flustered by Loona's [[HotInHumanForm human disguise]].

* HellSeeker: [=SCP=] 343 mentions [[spoiler:that 106 likely kidnapped C.H.E.R.U.B because he plans to use their suffering to attract Heaven's attention and end up banished to Hell. The reason being with Earth gone, he wants a new "hunting ground". While everything 343 says [[UnreliableNarrator has to be taken with a grain of salt]], a latter scene shows 106 berating C.H.E.R.U.B for not screaming loud enough as "[[TheArmiesOfHeaven they]]" can't hear them]].

* RealAfterAll: Clef's version of SCP-001 ([[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/dr-clef-s-proposal The Gate Guardian]]) was just a bunch of nonsense Clef pulled out of his ass as part of a program the Foundation was doing to hide the real version of 001. [[spoiler:So imagine his surprise when the remains of the [=GOC=] send him a picture of an entity that looks and acts exactly like a story he made up.]]

* SupernaturalPhone: When [[spoiler:Loona and Octavia run their hellphones through [[UpgradeArtifact [=SCP=]-914]], they both gain several anomalous features based on other [=SCP=]s. These include:]]

* ThereIsAnother: Justin starts off believing himself to be the only Foundation operative to have survived the Sun breaking. [[spoiler:But he learns from [[BattleButtler 662]] in Chapter 9 Site-19 survived which house many personal, the O-5 council, and a few (in)famous names (Doctors Bright, Clef, and Gears). When he and I.M.P later run into one of the Infinite IKEA tribes Justin mentally slaps himself on the forehead as he never even considered that there would still be humans there]].

** [[spoiler:Another example of this is with Kiki and Milky, the 2 succubi that got separated from Verosika's band during the first night stuck in SCP-3008-1, they managed to find & get into the Pillow Tribe settlement after... uh... an incident that [[FeralVampire involves not having intercourse for a prolonged period time]] and leaving a few humans bedridden, none of the other tribe members know those 2 did it because the Pillow tribe covered for them and they have human disguises.]]

* DidIMentionItsChristmas?: Justin's B-Day is literally during the Christmas season. Assuming exterminations are January 1st/December 31st, you'd think that there would at least be some reminder that the Christmas season is happening. Reasonable explanation is that everyone Justin knew is dead.

* DidIMentionIt'sChristmas?: Justin's B-Day is literally during the Christmas season. Assuming exterminations are January 1st/December 31st, you'd think that there would at least be some reminder that the Christmas season is happening. Reasonable explanation is that everyone Justin knew is dead.

* EnemyMine: Justin (as a member of the [[TheMenInBlack The Foundation]]) and I.M.P (as a group of demonic assassins who kill on behalf of Sinners) would very much be enemies under normal circumstances. But after [[spoiler:they all learn that Loona received a [[DreamingOfThingsToCome vision from 990]] (who's prophecies are always meant to aid the Foundation in some way) that 001 is going eventually manifest in Hell somehow]], he decides to join them as a GuestStarPartyMember.

* IfIHadANickel: Justin mentions this after the second time he had a demon woman's rear on his face.

-->'''Justin:''' ...That...that fucking statue followed me into the tunnels...All I remember is closing my eyes as I waited for the flesh to just take me into the light, and then I'm nearly throwing up inside my damn gas mask when it feels like I just rode the world's worst roller coaster in the span of a second. Right before passing out, I looked up and that fucking statue had carried me all the way back through the service tunnel and back into the facility.

* AtrociousAlias: [[spoiler:While searching for Verosika in the Infinite IKEA, Justin and I.M.P. fall afoul of the Pillow Tribe after unknowingly eating the tribe's food supplies]]. Blitzo tries and fails to hide his laughter as he is unable to take their name seriously.

* BadFuture: SCP-990 [[spoiler:shows Loona what might happen if I.M.P. ignores the problem with the sun. First she sees Vortex, Verosika and her crew get dragged out into the sunlight by 001-A instances, witnessing firsthand the TransformationHorror of 001, Millie becoming a malnourished EmptyShell DrivenToSuicide when the 001-A instance that used to be Moxxie starts singing ''Oh Millie'', and finally overlooking the ruins of Pentagram City filled with 001-A instances thanks to a portal in the sky exposing Hell to sunlight]].

* CanonWelding: Combined with AdaptationExpansion. [[spoiler:The Grimoire IMP uses to travel to Earth isn't given much backstory in the show itself, but here it's stated to be an artifact somehow connected to the Spiral Gestalt Lucifer stumbled onto during the war in Heaven, before eventually entrusting it to Stolas]].

* CassandraTruth: At first, I.M.P. doesn't believe Justin when he tries to tell them about the end of the world, assuming that he's simply gone crazy from spending too much time alone in a lab full of monsters. This doesn't last for long as Loona mentioning her dream about SCP-990 is able to plant doubts in their heads. Any disbelief that remains vanishes once 079 plays recorded footage of the Broken Sun's effects.

** Later, [[spoiler:when Justin and IMP find two of Verosika's succubi in the Infinite IKEA, Kiki senses he's a [[VirginPower virgin]] and immediately tries to [[CharmPerson work her magic]]. While SCP-5000 mostly snaps him out of it and [[ElectricTorture strongly discourages]] her from trying again, he's still left so out of it that he [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments checks out]] ''Blitzo'' for a moment]].

* EnemyMine: Justin (as a member of the [[TheMenInBlack The Foundation]]) and I.M.P. (as a group of demonic assassins who kill on behalf of Sinners) would very much be enemies under normal circumstances. But after [[spoiler:they all learn that Loona received a [[DreamingOfThingsToCome vision from 990]] (who's prophecies are always meant to aid the Foundation in some way) that 001 is going eventually manifest in Hell somehow]], he decides to join them as a GuestStarPartyMember.

** The first time was in chapter 3 when IMP arrived in Justin's room, a month after 001 activated, to which Justin opened his eyes to Loona's rear in close proximity to his face.
** The second time was in chapter 6 with Octavia after she and her father arrived at IMP's location and land on an unconscious Justin.
* InterspeciesFriendship: In addition to his OddFriendship with Loona, Justin develops a rapport with Moxxie somewhat more naturally than with the rest of I.M.P. due to their shared dedication to professionalism and frustrations with Blitzo. Blitzo regards this connection with his usual disgust.

* OddFriendship: Surprisingly, it's the usually {{Jerkass}} Loona who Justin gets along with the best out of I.M.P.'s members. Who acts nicer to him then she does most people out of [[IOweYouMyLife gratitude]].

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Of I.M.P., Blitzo is the one Justin has the most trouble getting along with, blaming him for getting them involved with SCP-001 and at one point [[spoiler:''shooting in him in the head'' in a short-sighted attempt to destroy the Spiral Gestalt]]. Likewise, Justin is much more distrustful and aggressive with him then he is with Loona, Moxxie or Millie.
** [[MadDoctor SCP-049]] only barely tolerates I.M.P. and their disruption of his "work", and has to restrain himself from killing them all several times at [[FriendToPsychos Justin]]'s request.
* ThereIsAnother: Justin starts off believing himself to be the only Foundation operative to have survived the Sun breaking. [[spoiler:But he learns from [[BattleButtler 662]] in Chapter 9 Site-19 survived which house many personal, the O-5 council, and a few (in)famous names (Doctors Bright, Clef, and Gears). When he and I.M.P. latter run into one of the Infinite IKEA tribes Justin mentally slaps himself on the forehead as he never even considered that there would still be humans there]].
* ThirdLineSomeWaiting: The main focus of the fic is on Justin, I.M.P., Stolas, and Octavia as they're caught up in one of 990's prophecies; then Lucifer and Charlie dealing with the fallout of the former unknowingly allowing various [=SCPs=] into Hell; then Dr. Bright and Dr. Clef trying to find answers to what's going on. There's also a few segments focusing on other characters, such as Vortex having to deal with being stuck with six sex-starved succubi in the Infinite IKEA and C.H.E.R.U.B being stuck in SCP-106's dimension.

* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler:The AmbiguouslyEvil SCP-343 states that I.M.P. has caught his eye for supposedly being ALighterShadeOfBlack among demonkind, considering he makes no mention of [[TokenHeroicOrc Charlie]] and his hostility when Dr. Clef calls him out on it, his intentions should definitely be taken with a grain of salt.]]
* VillainTeamUp: While Justin and I.M.P. are gone, the Foundation site Stolas and Octavia are staying at comes under attack by [[spoiler:the Chaos Insurgency]] as part of a deal they made with [[spoiler:SCP-035]]. [[spoiler:The Insurgency believes that Stolas's Grimoire is the "key" to saving the remaining humans and were convinced by 035 to help him escape containment and give him a fresh host in exchange for his help in acquiring the book.]]

* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Since the sun broke, a few [=SCPs=] have grown friendly to humans such as 049 becoming Justin's self appointed physician, 173 saving Justin's life from some 001-A instances (though it might be because [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou if Justin dies]], [[ItAmusedMe it will have no one to toy with]]), and 066 has reverted back to some of its old behavior. [[note]]This does not mean that all the SCP have turned good, 035 and 106 are just as malevolent as ever and 049 almost "cures" Blitzo when he sees him attacking Justin.[[/note]] This also applies to Loona. After a near death encounter with [[PsychicAssistedSuicide 012]], [[spoiler:the below mentioned vision]], and finding out the full scope of what happened on Earth, the Jerk in JerkWithAHeartOfGold has gotten a ''lot'' less present.

* BadFuture: SCP-990 [[spoiler:shows Loona what might happen if I.M.P. ignores the problem with the sun. First she sees Vortex, Verosika and her crew get dragged out into the sunlight by 001-A instances, witnessing fist hand the TransformationHorror of 001, Millie becoming a malnourished EmptyShell DrivenToSuicide when the 001-A instance that used to be Moxxie starts singing ''Oh Millie'', and finally overlooking the ruins of Pentagram City filled with 001-A instances thanks to a portal in the sky exposing Hell to sunlight]].

* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Since the sun broke, a few [=SCPs=] have grown friendly to humans such as 049 becoming Justin's self appointed physician, 173 saving Justin's life from some 001-A instances (though it might be because [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou if Justin dies]], [[ItAmusedMe it will have no one to toy with]]), and 066 has reverted back to some of its old behavior. [[note]] This does not mean that all the SCP have turned good, 035 and 106 are just as malevolent as ever and 049 almost "cures" Blitzo when he sees him attacking Justin. [[/note]] This also applies to Loona. After a near death encounter with [[PsychicAssistedSuicide 012]], [[spoiler:the below mentioned vision]], and finding out the full scope of what happened on Earth, the Jerk in JerkWithAHeartOfGold has gotten a ''lot'' less present.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: None of the main characters are exactly good, even [[TokenGoodTeammate Justin]], [[note]] he supports the Foundation's more morally questionable actions without complaint and the opening chapter implies he treats the D-Class [[WeHaveReserves as well]] as most Foundation staff do.[[/note]] however all of them still have family and loved ones they care about and stand to loose everything to the Broken Sun. They're also much easier to sympathise for then than most hostile [=SCPs=] (which usually range from [[BlueAndOrangeMorality sanity-blastingly alien]] at best and [[AxCrazy monstrously violent]] at worst) or [[spoiler:ruthless, corrupt GOI like the Chaos Insurgency]].

* FromBadToWorse: Things are already going south when [[spoiler:the Chaos Insurgency launches a raid on the Foundation site with Stolas and Octavia still inside. It becomes much worse when, while the raid is underway, Stolas becomes infected with a sample of SCP-008 and slowly loses his mind. Then several dangerous [=SCPs=] breach containment including SCP-096, Octavia also becomes infected with 008, and it's revealed that this whole mess was orchestrated by SCP-035, who holds the only known cure for 008 (a pill of SCP-500) and intends to ransom it off for the grimoire. And ''then'', it turns out that there's only one SCP-500 pill and Octavia takes the cure for herself at her father's urging. Stolas subsequently gives in to his zombie transformation while Octavia is left alone in a site full of rampaging [=SCPs=].]]

** Stolas, during their stay at the Foundation site he offers many times to send Octavia home but each time she refuses, [[spoiler:even after her father becomes infected with [[ZombieInfectee SCP-008]] due to the fact that SCP-035 has the cure (SCP-500). When King violently grabs Octavia by the head and threatens her in an attempt to force Stolas to hand over his grimoire, he breaks free of his restraints and nearly goes berserk then and there before Octavia calms him down.]]

** Snap its user out of a cognitohazard via [[StaticStunGun electric shock.]]
** [[CollapsibleHelmet Instantly fold and unfold itself with a mental command.]]

** [[PerceptionFilter Discourage any observers from noticing it or its user]]. though unfortunately not nearly as effectively as it did for Pietro Wilson, [[spoiler:Dr. Bright had to do ''something'' involving [[AmnesiaDanger SCP-055]] to get it working at all]].

* VillainTeamUp: While Justin and I.M.P. are gone, the Foundation site Stolas and Octavia are staying at comes under attack by [[spoiler:the Chaos Insurgency]] as part of a deal they made with [[spoiler:SCP-035]]. [[spoiler:The Insurgency believes that Stolas's grimoire is the "key" to saving the remaining humans and were convinced by 035 to help him escape containment and give him a fresh host in exchange for his help in acquiring the book.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:SCP-035 is depicted as being fairly composed with a FauxAffablyEvil demeanor whenever he has the upper hand, which is throughout most of Chapters 12 and 13 as he holds the only cure for Stolas's condition after he's infected with SCP-008. However, near the end of Chapter 13, 035 loses control of the situation and it shows in his speech. When King triggers a zombified Stolas in an UnstoppableRage after hurting Octavia, 035 expresses his fury with King since he ruined his attempt to bargain for Stolas's grimoire. After SCP-5031 makes off with the grimoire while everyone's distracted, 035 enters a blind rage and runs after 5031 while screaming impotent threats.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: Justin expresses clear attraction to women at several points, but he also gets flustered by I.M.P teasing him about being in the closet and at one point implies he finds Moxxie cute [[spoiler:while under the influence of [[CharmPerson Succubus]] magic ]].

-->'' [[spoiler:[[PreAsskickingOneliner "ALERT: MaLo doesn't like bullies! :("]]'' ]]

* TookALevelInBadass: In lore, [[spoiler:SCP 1471-1 [[ImaginaryFriend (Mal0)]] is a {{Stalker Without A Crush}} who, while [[CreepyGood disturbing to many of its users]], [[NonMaliciousMonster never hurts anyone directly.]] But after Loona accidentally exposes it to 914, it gains a physical presence and [[BloodierAndGorier violently butchers three men]] harassing a weakened Vortex after Loona unwittingly summons it to defend him in chapter 13. It [[SlashedThroat slashes the first man's throat open;]] [[AnArmAndALeg obliterates the arm and leg of the second man]], leaving him to bleed out; and then drags the final man under a nearby bed, where it does ''[[GoryDiscretionShot something]]'' to him that leaves gore splattered ''everywhere'']]

-->'''Justin:''' ...That...that fucking [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173 statue]] followed me into the tunnels...All I remember is closing my eyes as I waited for the flesh to just take me into the light, and then I'm nearly throwing up inside my damn gas mask when it feels like I just rode the world's worst roller coaster in the span of a second. Right before passing out, I looked up and that fucking statue had carried me all the way back through the service tunnel and back into the facility.

** 1981 is usually confined to a single videotape of Ronald Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech. Chapter 10 reveals that it's not only transformed from a VHS Tape to a disc, [[spoiler: It's somehow spread to ''Charlie's interview'']].

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], but with their [[MurderInc business]] ruined by humanity's transformation into 001-A and [[spoiler: an ominous warning from 990 that ''all of Hell'' will suffer the same fate if they do nothing]], I.M.P teams up with Justin in hopes of finding a way to stop SCP-001; pushing them up from {{Villain Protagonist}} to {{Nominal Hero}}.

* AlienGeometry: [[spoiler: SCP 3008 ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial A Perfectly Normal, Regular Old IKEA]].) The front of the store is perfectly normal, but the inventory aisles extend for miles]]. Blitzø notes it has a ''horizon''.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Justin expresses clear attraction to women at several points, but he also gets flustered by I.M.P teasing him about being in the closet and at one point implies he finds Moxxie cute [[spoiler: while under the influence of [[CharmPerson Succubus]] magic ]].
* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Since the sun broke, a few [=SCPs=] have grown friendly to humans such as 049 becoming Justin's self appointed physician, 173 saving Justin's life from some 001-A instances (though it might be because [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou if Justin dies]], [[ItAmusedMe it will have no one to toy with]]), and 066 has reverted back to some of its old behavior. [[note]] This does not mean that all the SCP have turned good, 035 and 106 are just as malevolent as ever and 049 almost "cures" Blitzo when he sees him attacking Justin. [[/note]] This also applies to Loona. After a near death encounter with [[PsychicAssistedSuicide 012]], [[spoiler: the below mentioned vision]], and finding out the full scope of what happened on Earth, the Jerk in JerkWithAHeartOfGold has gotten a ''lot'' less present.

[[spoiler:'''Tribal woman:''']] ''[dead serious]'' [[BluntYes Yes.]]\\

** Amusingly, [[spoiler:Dr.Clef considers Blitzo's name this, and takes a moment to mock him for it during his standoff with 343]].
* BadFuture: SCP-990 [[spoiler: shows Loona what might happen if I.M.P. ignores the problem with the sun. First she sees Vortex, Verosika and her crew get dragged out into the sunlight by 001-A instances, witnessing fist hand the TransformationHorror of 001, Millie becoming a malnourished EmptyShell DrivenToSuicide when the 001-A instance that used to be Moxxie starts singing ''Oh Millie'', and finally overlooking the ruins of Pentagram City filled with 001-A instances thanks to a portal in the sky exposing Hell to sunlight]].

* BlackAndGreyMorality: None of the main characters are exactly good, even [[TokenGoodTeammate Justin]], [[note]] he supports the Foundation's more morally questionable actions without complaint and the opening chapter implies he treats the D-Class [[WeHaveReserves as well]] as most Foundation staff do.[[/note]] however all of them still have family and loved ones they care about and stand to loose everything to the Broken Sun. They're also much easier to sympathise for then than most hostile [=SCPs=] (which usually range from [[BlueAndOrangeMorality sanity-blastingly alien]] at best and [[AxCrazy monstrously violent]] at worst) or [[spoiler: ruthless, corrupt GOI like the Chaos Insurgency]].

* CanonWelding: Combined with AdaptationExpansion. [[spoiler: The Grimoire IMP uses to travel to Earth isn't given much backstory in the show itself, but here it's stated to be an artifact somehow connected to the Spiral Gestalt Lucifer stumbled onto during the war in Heaven, before eventually entrusting it to Stolas]].

** Later, [[spoiler: when Justin and IMP find two of Verosika's succubi in the Infinite IKEA, Kiki senses he's a [[VirginPower virgin]] and immediately tries to [[CharmPerson work her magic]]. While SCP-5000 mostly snaps him out of it and [[ElectricTorture strongly discourages]] her from trying again, he's still left so out of it that he [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments checks out]] ''Blitzo'' for a moment]].
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Justin mentions that he was once a member of a [[BadassArmy Mobile Task Force]] (albeit one that apparently only had one mission before moving to guard duty over a bad mistake in SCP-3008), and thanks to the Spiral Gestalt he now has RetroactivePrecognition [[spoiler: and some sort of mysterious capacity for the [[ThinkingUpPortals magic]] found in Stolas's Grimoire]].
* EnemyMine: Justin (as a member of the [[TheMenInBlack The Foundation]]) and I.M.P. (as a group of demonic assassins who kill on behalf of Sinners) would very much be enemies under normal circumstances. But after [[spoiler: they all learn that Loona received a [[DreamingOfThingsToCome vision from 990]] (who's prophecies are always meant to aid the Foundation in some way) that 001 is going eventually manifest in Hell somehow]], he decides to join them as a GuestStarPartyMember.

* FanDisservice: Chapter 15 provides a double case. First giving a look into Valentino's extremely toxic "love" life thankfully interrupted by [[spoiler: Loona accidentally shooting up his club after getting teleported there by SCP-1499]], and then Justin and Blitzo having to fend off [[spoiler: a DrivenToMadness Verosika kidnapping Loona with [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty disgusting plans]] in mind]].

* FromBadToWorse: Things are already going south when [[spoiler: the Chaos Insurgency launches a raid on the Foundation site with Stolas and Octavia still inside. It becomes much worse when, while the raid is underway, Stolas becomes infected with a sample of SCP-008 and slowly loses his mind. Then several dangerous [=SCPs=] breach containment including SCP-096, Octavia also becomes infected with 008, and it's revealed that this whole mess was orchestrated by SCP-035, who holds the only known cure for 008 (a pill of SCP-500) and intends to ransom it off for the grimoire. And ''then'', it turns out that there's only one SCP-500 pill and Octavia takes the cure for herself at her father's urging. Stolas subsequently gives in to his zombie transformation while Octavia is left alone in a site full of rampaging [=SCPs=].]]

* IChooseToStay: Once Justin and I.M.P [[spoiler: track upon two members of Verosika's posse, Kiki and Milky, in the Infinite IKEA. The two reveal they're perfectly fine with staying with the human tribe that took them in instead going back to Hell and living under Verosika's shadow, primarily because the tribe's leader is a [[ZombieAdvocate Serpent's Hand]] member who tolerates their lust EmotionEater needs so long as they don't hurt people]] [[spoiler: It proves to be a horrific mistake when a PortalDoor to 001 latter manifests in the tribe's compound and bathes everyone in sunlight]].

* InterruptedIntimacy: The end of Chapter 15 has Vox and Valentino getting interrupted by [[spoiler: a [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1499 SCP-1499]] wearing Loona accidentally shooting up the latter's club]]. The immature gangster is so enraged by the seeming attack on his reputation that he calls it off [[spoiler:so he can start scheming to intrude on Lucifer's visit to the Hazbin Hotel to learn what's going on]].

* LotusEaterMachine: Chapter 14 shows that [[spoiler: Stolas's 008-borne SplitPersonality has trapped him in one. It at first takes the form of an idealized version of his normal life (i.e. Stella has forgiven and condones his relationship with Blitzo) but after he realises it's too good to be true [[FightingFromTheInside and starts resisting]], it sticks him in a vision of a day at Loo Loo Land with a toddler-aged Octavia]].

* MoodWhiplash: The story's tone frequently swing between Hazbin Hotel's RapidFireComedy WorldOfJerkass and the Foundation's SurrealHorror WorldOfWeirdness with great frequency. One good example [[spoiler: is a scene from 049's perspective as he calmly prepares to administer his "[[FateWorseThanDeath cure]]" to I.M.P ... only to be interrupted by Stolas (with Octavia in tow) [[ItMakesSenseInContext falling out of the ceiling]] before asking the doctor if he's seen a "Devlishly handsome imp with a great ass" anywhere]].

** Stolas, during their stay at the Foundation site he offers many times to send Octavia home but each time she refuses, [[spoiler: even after her father becomes infected with [[ZombieInfectee SCP-008]] due to the fact that SCP-035 has the cure (SCP-500). When King violently grabs Octavia by the head and threatens her in an attempt to force Stolas to hand over his grimoire, he breaks free of his restraints and nearly goes berserk then and there before Octavia calms him down.]]

* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Neither Octavia or Stolas understood the significance of what SCP-008 is, due to never watching any human zombie movies, [[spoiler: which becomes a problem when [[KillerTeddyBear SCP-1048]] injects some of 008 into Stolas]].
* PoweredArmor: Justin gets SCP-5000, also known as the Anomalous Exclusion Harness, [[spoiler: after it's functionality was restored by Dr. Bright]]. While its full functions have yet to be revealed, it can:

** [[PerceptionFilter Discourage any observers from noticing it or its user]]. though unfortunately not nearly as effectively as it did for Pietro Wilson, [[spoiler: Dr. Bright had to do ''something'' involving [[AmnesiaDanger SCP-055]] to get it working at all]].

* SeenItAll: Befitting [[ArtifactCollectionAgency the organisation]] he worked for before the world ended, Justin takes I.M.P confirming that Hell is real in stride. [[spoiler: The rest of the surviving Foundation staff have much the same reaction]].

* SuccubiAndIncubi: Succubi are stated to actually ''need'' to be lusted after the same way a human needs water, [[spoiler: when Verosika and her entourage ended up trapped in the [[AlienGeometries Infinite IKEA]] the day the sun broke. They went the next month without finding humans, and only managed to survive that long by... uh... feeding off Vortex (and even then, they're all nearly on death's door by now)]].
* SupernaturalPhone: When [[spoiler: Loona and Octavia run their hellphones through [[UpgradeArtifact [=SCP=]-914]], they both gain several anomalous features based on other [=SCP=]s. These include:]]
** [[spoiler: A version of [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-896 896]] that instead grants skills based around combating anomalies]].
** [[spoiler: An upgraded [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1471 1471]] (called ''[=MalO=] Injector ver2.0.0'') which now has 1471-A act as a fully corporeal and ([[PsychopathicManchild somewhat]]) intelligent GuardianEntity to whoever it is assigned]].

* TeleportationMisfire: After a day of being unable to portal to Earth because the Grimoire [[ItCanThink is instinctively trying to avoid SCP-001]], Moxxie slams his fist on one of it's pages and creates a portal that drops I.M.P into Justin's bedroom. [[spoiler: It does the same thing (if in a '''slightly'' gentler fashion) to Stolas and Octavia later, and it leads the Prince to suspect that [[HiddenVillan someone]] ''wants'' them and Justin all in the same place]].

* ThereIsAnother: Justin starts off believing himself to be the only Foundation operative to have survived the Sun breaking. [[spoiler: But he learns from [[BattleButtler 662]] in Chapter 9 Site-19 survived which house many personal, the O-5 council, and a few (in)famous names (Doctors Bright, Clef, and Gears). When he and I.M.P. latter run into one of the Infinite IKEA tribes Justin mentally slaps himself on the forehead as he never even considered that there would still be humans there]].

* TookALevelInBadass: In lore, [[spoiler: SCP 1471-1 [[ImaginaryFriend (Mal0)]] is a {{Stalker Without A Crush}} who, while [[CreepyGood disturbing to many of its users]], [[NonMaliciousMonster never hurts anyone directly.]] But after Loona accidentally exposes it to 914, it gains a physical presence and [[BloodierAndGorier violently butchers three men]] harassing a weakened Vortex after Loona unwittingly summons it to defend him in chapter 13. It [[SlashedThroat slashes the first man's throat open;]] [[AnArmAndALeg obliterates the arm and leg of the second man]], leaving him to bleed out; and then drags the final man under a nearby bed, where it does ''[[GoryDiscretionShot something]]'' to him that leaves gore splattered ''everywhere'']]
-->'' [[spoiler: [[PreAsskickingOneliner "ALERT: MaLo doesn't like bullies! :("]]'' ]]
* TookALevelInKindness: After a brush with death [[spoiler: and learning from 990 that whatever caused the sun to break is planning to do the same thing to Hell]]. Loona becomes much less cold, apologizing to Blitzo for her constant rebuffing of his affection and trying her best to be friendly to Justin [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe out of gratitude for saving her from 012]], though she's still a dick to Moxxie.
* TooDumbToLive: A combination of stubbornness and ArbitrarySkepticism causes Blitzo to make some ''very'' foolish decisions, such as [[spoiler: putting on [[EnemySummoner SCP-178]] just to spite Justin for telling him not to]].

* UndeadAbomination: Chapter 13 [[spoiler: has Stolas fully succumb to the effects of SCP-008, producing a zombie with all the powers of a demon lord]].

* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler: The AmbiguouslyEvil SCP-343 states that I.M.P. has caught his eye for supposedly being ALighterShadeOfBlack among demonkind, considering he makes no mention of [[TokenHeroicOrc Charlie]] and his hostility when Dr.Clef calls him out on it, his intentions should definitely be taken with a grain of salt]].

* WrongContextMagic: The nature and abilities of anomalous beings exist completely beyond the magic used by the demon characters. SCP-1879 is not only capable of shrugging off a blow from [[TheDevil Lucifer]], he's able to swindle ''him'' in a deal. Stolas is baffled to learn [[spoiler: the Spiral Gestalt somehow allowed D-9341 to successfully create a duplicate of his [[TomeOfEldritchLore Grimoire]], and all of his vast power as a [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Goetica prince]] can only ''barely'' slow down [[TheVirus 008]]'s infection speed]].

* VillainousRescue: About a week after the Sun broke, Justin tried to make a run for his car (Specifically, [[TragicKeepsake the records of his family]] stored on his phone), with some protective gear he ran through [[AmplifierArtifact SCP-914.]] SCP-001-A ambushed him in the parking lot, making him to jump off a cliff and hurt his leg trying to escape. and then:

* TookALevelInBadass: In lore, [[spoiler: SCP 1471-1 [[ImaginaryFriend (Mal0)]] is a {{Stalker Without A Crush}} who, while [[NightmareFuel disturbing to many of its users,]] [[NonMaliciousMonster never hurts anyone directly.]] But after Loona accidentally exposes it to 914, it gains a physical presence and [[BloodierAndGorier violently butchers three men]] harassing a weakened Vortex after Loona unwittingly summons it to defend him in chapter 13. It [[SlashedThroat slashes the first man's throat open;]] [[AnArmAndALeg obliterates the arm and leg of the second man]], leaving him to bleed out; and then drags the final man under a nearby bed, where it does ''[[GoryDiscretionShot something]]'' to him that leaves gore splattered ''everywhere'']]

* TheAtoner: If SCP-343 really is God, he’s this in regards to Lucifer. He does not regret casting him out of heaven but he has realized that he punished Lucifer out of selfish pride rather than love or moral objections. He calls his son once every year in the hopes of reconciliation despite knowing the Devil will never answer.

* IfIHadANickel: Justin mentions this after the second time he had a demon woman’s rear on his face.

** Blitzo, he still dotes on Loona as in canon, but when she nearly bled to death because of SCP-012, he prayed to God out of desperation as he didn’t want to lose her. Since then he has become even more protective as he only goes along with Loona to save Verosika and her crew to ensure Loona’s safety, and more then a bit of his ire with Justin stems from his light attraction to her human form.
** Dr. Alto Clef, while he [[DontYouDarePityMe brushes off]] Dr. Bright's attempt to comfort him over the matter, it’s clear he’s deeply worried over the current whereabouts of SCP-166. When Clef realizes that SCP-343 chose to help Blitzo (a literal demon from Hell) over his daughter (a devout Christian) he attacks the so called Almighty in rage.
** Lucifer, he has trouble showing it because of his pride, but it’s clear he cares deeply for Charlie. He often alternates back and fourth between wanting to laugh in her face and telling her IToldYouSo in regards to her dream of redeeming Sinners to wanting to give her a hug, apologize for not being there for her, and throw those ungrateful Sinners across the pearly gates himself. When a video of Charlie’s interview on Channel 666 News that's corrupted in a way VERY similar to SCP-1981 starts airing randomly, Lucifer pays a visit to Vox. While he is angry that Vox makes Lucifer look incompetent for not being able to stop the transmissions, his last words to the Overlord make it clear that if Charlie saw the video and was subsequently traumatized by it, Vox is going to suffer [[ColdBloodedTorture the consequences of his failure]] ''HARD''.
--->'''Lucifer:''' '''''"I AM HAVING DINNER WITH MY DAUGHTER TOMORROW. FOR YOUR SAKE, YOU BETTER HOPE SHE HAS NOT SEEN THAT VIDEO YET. I WANT EVERY COPY OF IT SCRUBBED COMPLETELY. I DON'T EVEN WANT A SCREENSHOT ON THE LAST PAGE OF SEARCH IMAGES TO REMAIN. IF I HAVE TO CONSOLE MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE WATCHED HERSELF BE BUTCHERED ON LIVE TV, IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR HEAD VOX. BY THE NEXT DAY, YOU BETTER BE ABLE TO ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION, OR RIPPING OUT YOUR HEART WILL ONLY BE THE FIRST THING I DO TO YOU. AM I CLEAR?"'''''

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Back when Chapter 9 came out, the author had no way of knowing how Verosika and her crew travel to Earth, so he had to do some artistic licensing and leave it very broad as to the reason. [[spoiler:Yet after the release of the episode "The Circus" it was shown in a book page that succubi and incubi are given artifacts known as "Asmodeus Crystals" which allow them safe and legal travel between Earth & Hell, and since it doesn't say how these crystals work outside of Earth and Hell it gave the author the excuse of that they don't work in alternate dimensions, in this case SCP-3008-1.]]
