** The idea of the Bible itself being a tract of Angel propaganda is a very interesting idea, since it depicts demons and satanic figures as evil, and describes Maledict himself as the source of all evil. Earth is a major battlefield between the two sides; [[WrittenByTheWinners of course Angel propaganda would say that]].

** Even [[spoiler: the Chaos Emeralds being originally made by Satan]] plot twist is surpisingly intelligent, since chaos is typically depicted as evil or demonic, despite Sonic and friends using them for good.

** The Demon Empire in general is a pretty blatant expy of the Roman Empire. And it personifies the whole thing, both the good and the bad, without any sort of embellishment. It brings order, justice, law, education, peace, language, art, religion, and many other things to the galaxy. Unfortunately, it's also slaveholding state where hedonism and SocialDarwinism rule. It's also pretty brilliant if you take a look at the Bible; the "Whore of Babylon" is usually interpreted as Rome, so it makes sense that the Demons themselves would be organized as an empire.

* Several reviews of ''FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos'' have criticized the story for its... [[UnfortunateImplications questionable]] racial depictions, ''especially'' its broad-brush portrayal of [[FuturePrimitive Jews]] and [[ReligionOfEvil Muslims]]. However, there something underneath the surface. ''Dark Chaos'' is a CosmicHorrorStory through and through, with the galaxy under the thrall of immeasurably powerful beings and nations who are constantly at war with each other. Who else wrote racially-questionable CosmicHorrorStory literature? Why, none other than [[Creator/HPLovecraft H.P. Lovecraft]] himself.

* In ''FanFic/GameOfTouhou'', the leader of the rebellion Byakuren Hijiri is hailed as a [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeVillified revolutionary]] that ended the reign of House Sanzu (after Mad Queen Eiki Shiki plunged the realm in war, while her sucessor, Queen Komachi, was much better). However, after she ascends to the throne, she reveals to be an ineffectual leader, that can't make difficult decisions, [[spoiler:to the point she prefers to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]].]] This makes sense if you consider that in canon Byakuren is a well-meaning but ultimately incompetent leader, that barely can control the youkai under her wing in Myouren Temple.

* FanFic/{{Embers}} originally had me quite annoyed. It was loaded Fire Nation apologetics, used to paint literally the whole Fire Nation - every single one of them, even Sozin, as innocent victims of a ruthless Avatar Kyoshi off on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. At the same time, Katara and Aang were [[CharacterDerailment mysteriously transmogrified]] into IdiotBall carriers with one-dimensional, mind-numbingly ridiculous takes on life that were completely contrary to the personalities established over Season One's canon (which the fanfic claimed to be adhering to). Throw in [[spoiler: Dragon!]]Zuko the fire-water dual-wielding [[spoiler: reincarnation of Kuzon]], erase every single bad decision he made in canon and make him a self-flagellating noble hero who can do no wrong, add awesome into everything Zuko does and have the multitudes of Original Characters taking his side, reminding the reader in stylized "monologues" of exactly how fantastic Zuko is, hide behind a variety of excuses ranging from everyone being an UnreliableNarrator to "There are no excuses, only reasons" (suspending this rule if your name is Zuko or Iroh or you're Fire Nation)... [[spoiler: this is officially the most brilliant satire/trollfic of all the hundreds of less well-presented fanfics with similar plotlines.]] Realizing all that, then going back and reading Embers from the start... Vathara is a genius. A '''genius'''..

** Also when you consider that we saw the twins as little kids hurting other prisoners, something tells me [[GenerationXerox history will repeat itself with these two]].

** Then you have the twins Maddie and Ethan. I actually suggested these names from a pair of StarCrossedLovers in Creator/EdithWharton's novel ''Literature/EthanFrome''; then when I looked up what they meant, I was utterly surprised that the meanings both had something to do with power and strength. Matilda, specifically, means "powerful in battle" in German.

* When I first began to read ''Fanfic/ExtendedStay'', it seemed to be nothing more than just a Warden/Mistress fanfic. Don't get me wrong: I really love the pairing but I didn't really think it would go beyond a contrived situation. It wasn't until the very last chapter that it seemed to dawn on me that the family was going to follow in the footprints of the Julio-Claudian family, which even back in Roman times was ''very'' [[BigScrewedUpFamily fucked up]]. (Not to mention the fact that the Warden and Mistress making their youngest child the next in line for world dictatorship is rather reminiscent of North Korean politics as well.)

** A smaller element is when Robin gives the toddler Morgan her locket, which was given to her by Chrom, to remember her by in case she doesn't come back when she rejoins the Shepherds. Morgan, unlike the other children, did not have a ring to prove his paternity and since Robin is unmarried he would need another sort of identifier of his parentage.

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9129362/1/Forever-Yours Forever Yours]] Morgan is Robin's illegitimate child fathered by Chrom, who is in the fic married to Sumia. As a result this Morgan is born two years earlier. I didn't see the reason why Morgan had to be born earlier besides for the reasons of drama, when it hit me: Morgan as Chrom's son would inherit the Rightful King skill. Since Ylisse seems to follow a primogeniture line of inheritance Morgan, while illegitimate, has a more rightful claim to the throne than his half-sister and Chrom's legitimate daughter [[spoiler: Lucina.]]

* All the riders in ''Fanfic/KoihimeMusouTalesOfTheArmoredWarGods'' are named after Japanese warlords. Now, keep in mind that they are all called Armored War Gods by the people of China, AND the series the armor comes from takes elements of the waring states period.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}''/''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8862808/1/Monsters-In-Paradise Monsters in Paradise]]'', Skarmory is able to NoSell Flandre's attack. The reason: his ability is Sturdy, it negates one-hit [=KOs=].

This is a personal moment for the viewer, so every example is signed by the contributor. If you start off with "This Troper", really, you have no excuse. We're going to hit you on the head.

* In a ForWantOfANail fanfic of "A Mother's Love" by [=lordofthelandoffire=], Kushina is enraged after awakening from a coma to find that Sarutobi publicly denied Kushina's marriage to Minato feeling it would protect Naruto, thus making her Minato's mistress/whore and making Naruto his bastard son. Some people have wondered why Kushina is so angered by this, deciding it had to do with losing the Namikaze clan compound and money. But if you look at it from a Japanese perspective, where family and heritage are very important, it makes sense. Hell, a major plot point with Chouji involved a flashback of his father telling him about how they could trace their family back 16+ generations, not to mention Sasuke's entire motivation involves avenging the Uchiha clan, including the man who murdered them after finding out he was ordered to. So what Sarutobi essentially did was steal Naruto's Namikaze heritage, which Kushina would see as being especially terrible due to the fact her own clan had been destroyed, and now Naruto was losing his by the order of a man she considered a friend.

* A HarryPotter / RurouniKenshin crossover fic, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2737703/1/RuroKen_and_the_Philosophers_Stone RuroKen and the Philosophers Stone]] had Dumbledore talk to Hiko about letting his apprentice Kenshin go to Hogwarts (and that it would be dangerous if he remain untrained in regards to magic). Later, Kenshin (unaware of the 'danger' part) wonders how a headmaster has time to go out of his way to do that, figuring he has to be a busy guy. Then I remembered that not even Harry was personally seen to by Dumbledore before he went off the school, hinting at something a little more worrisome than what's being let on.
* There was a HarryPotter fanfic (sadly, now deleted) in which the main character used a Time-Turner to go back and change history, sacrificing her life so that another would live. I wasn't happy about this at the time, because in HP canon we are told that Time-Turners cannot be used that way; the version of TimeTravel they use always creates StableTimeLoops and those who tried to alter things often get themselves killed. It wasn't upon re-reading that I recognized the FridgeBrilliance: the character got herself killed when trying to change history. So, yes, it was an actually canon-compliant use of TimeTravel.
