History Roleplay / InsanelyEverAfter

* AnythingThatMoves:
** Maid Ruby, the hospital's resident maneater.
** Horny!Mad, too, one of [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland The Mad Hatter's]] five personalities.

** WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'s step-mother, obviously, falls into this trope, but this being the roleplay it is, the abuse is taken way UpToEleven.

Needless to say, this RP basically runs on DarkerAndEdgier, and there's more angst, crying and emotional turmoil that you could shake a stick at. This, of course, makes the few brief moments of light even more wonderful. Probably for the best, especially when it comes inevitably crashing back down to Earth again. As well as that, there are, of course, LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters. Really, lots. Somewhere close to 40, and consistently growing, given that apparently the potential cast list numbers well past twice that.

* ChekhovsGun: [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Esmeralda]] hoarding her sleeping pills behind her mirror becomes a tragic one when it comes to Thumper's second suicide attempt.

** [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Esmeralda]] suffers from almost literal horror, so she keeps herself awake by choice. She has sleeping pills, but refuses them.

->''"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.''
->''"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."''
->''"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.''
->''"You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here."''

Oh, wait. All those doctors, patients and orderlies are characters from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, and pretty much all of them suffer from mental illnesses that stem from their original story, or close to it. Simba of ''Disney/TheLionKing'' is suddenly not the cute little lion cub, but a young man with a foul mouth, a penchant for theft and a fierce hatred of anything to do with rules. [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland The Mad Hatter]] is a man with five different personalities, completely independent of one another, Gretel suffers from an eating disorder and WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} might well be convinced he's a god, but no one is particularly certain, given that he occasionally flies into delusional rages. Not so conventional anymore and not such a big opportunity for a happy ending.

** [[Disney/TheLionKing Kovu]], too. He's not really spoken much about it, but when your adopted father is Scar, king of the {{Manipulative Bastard}}s, this is a given.

** Both WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} and [[Disney/TheLionKing Kovu]] have Acute Stress Disorder which can cause this if they think about the traumatic events in their past - Ella's step-mother allowing her to be raped, and Kovu's manipulation at the hands of Scar.

** Disney/{{Cinderella}}'s step-mother, obviously, falls into this trope, but this being the roleplay it is, the abuse is taken way UpToEleven.

** Horny!Mad, too, one of [[Disney/AliceInWonderland The Mad Hatter's]] five personalities.
* AttemptedRape: [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Prince Eric]] to Disney/{{Cinderella}}. Made, quite frankly, doubly awful given the [[RapeAsBackstory reason she's in the asylum]] and [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization reason Eric gave to legitimize himself]].

* BigEater: [[Disney/LadyAndTheTramp Tramp]]. Given that he used to be homeless, it kind of makes sense that you never really see him without food.

* ChekhovsGun: [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Esmeralda]] hoarding her sleeping pills behind her mirror becomes a tragic one when it comes to Thumper's second suicide attempt.

** Disney/{{Hercules}} tries his best to live by this trope, even if he finds it incredibly stressful.

** Entirely subverted in the case of Disney/{{Hercules}}, who believes his memories are real, to the point of psychosis, flying into rages whenever his past is disputed.
* DestinationDefenestration: Disney/{{Hercules}}' go-to threat. He's never actually done it, but it's only a matter of time.

* DramaticShattering: Disney/{{Hercules}} versus a wooden doorframe turned into this, for both the wood, and the bones in his hand.

* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: [[Disney/PeterPan Wendy]], Terrence and Fawn by way of their medication (although Fawn doesn't really need it.)

** Disney/{{Hercules}} had one after having a psychopathic episode. He punched a door frame so hard that it shattered his hand, and the wood, and then walked around with a busted hand full of splinters for a full day before he let anyone near it. Or him.

** Push any of [[Disney/AliceInWonderland The Mad Hatter's]] personalities a little too far, and expect a miniature one of these, before he switches back to someone else.
** Both Disney/{{Cinderella}} and [[Disney/TheLionKing Kovu]] have Acute Stress Disorder which can cause this if they think about the traumatic events in their past - Ella's step-mother allowing her to be raped, and Kovu's manipulation at the hands of Scar.

** [[Disney/AliceInWonderland Alice]]. Doesn't help that her face claim is Hannah Murray, better known as Cassie from Skins, the poster girl for this trope.

** [[Disney/AliceInWonderland The Cheshire Cat]].

** [[Disney/AliceInWonderland Alice]], who suffers from ADHD finds that she becomes passive and sleepy on her meds, and generally refuses to take them.
** Disney/{{Hercules}} is prescribed anti-psychotics, but doesn't touch them, fearing that they'll distance him further from Mt Olympus, and, in his words, "steal his soul."

** [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Esmeralda]] suffers from almost literal horror, so she keeps herself awake by choice. She has sleeping pills, but refuses them.

* SmallNameBigEgo: [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kuzco.]] No one really knows who he is, and very few people genuinely like him, yet he still acts as if he's the Emperor he used to be.

* StalkerWithACrush: [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Prince Eric]] to Disney/{{Cinderella}}. It got worse.

** [[Disney/LadyAndTheTramp Lady]], out of the patients, to the point that Terrence and Fawn call her Momma, and when Hercules broke his hand and was still in the aftershocks of psychotic break, she was the only one he let near enough to bandage it.

** Given that he's been diagnosed with psychosis, Disney/{{Hercules}} is this whenever he talks about being the son of the Gods.

** [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Meg and Hercules]] definitely fall into Type 2.

* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Kovu and Sweeney in the gym. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming because beforehand, Kovu had been impartial to Sweeney at best, and downright rude to him at worst. It shows a real turning point that Kovu opens up enough to be able to engage in that sort of conversation.

** Nurse Vivian, a sweet young girl from [[TheWizardOfOz Oz]] might be veering towards a Type 2, but it's early days yet.

Oh, wait. All those doctors, patients and orderlies are characters from the DisneyAnimatedCanon, and pretty much all of them suffer from mental illnesses that stem from their original story, or close to it.

Not so conventional anymore and not such a big opportunity for a happy ending.

** [[DisneyFairies Terrence's]] dad, too, who managed to convince his son that he was the reason his mother committed suicide.

* DestructiveRomance: [[DisneyFairies Terrence]] and Mirror's relationship began like this, but in the following weeks they've gotten steadily better.

* DramaBomb: Everything seemed to be going well. Relationships were springing up left, right and centre, character development was largely positive, everyone was the closest they could get to happy. Then, in one week, Flower took an accidental overdose, [[DisneyFairies Fawn's]] hallucinations intensified and she slit her wrists, and then it goes FromBadToWorse with Thumper's genuine suicide attempt. It was a [[WhamEpisode Wham Week]] for all involved, and things haven't improved yet.

** Fawn, too, the young, intensely optimistic fairy from [[DisneyFairies Pixie Hollow]].

** All the characters from [[DisneyFairies Pixie Hollow]], too.

** Magic and Mirror's dad, who in the course of one conversation and a few paragraphs of description easily managed to come across as [[CompleteMonster the most unpleasant man in the entire world]].

** It isn't just restricted to the patients, either. Nurse Lexous was the child of an affair between a king and one of his maids, and she was forced to do the same job growing up. Her father basically denies all knowledge of her, and doesn't afford any kind of care to her wellbeing, shipping her off to work at the insane asylum. Kind of subverted, given that she's actually one of the more measured characters in the roleplay.

* BreakTheCutie: Fawn is a sweet innocent pixie who is kind to basically everybody she ever meets. She is also haunted by hallucinations of a man who threatens to sexually abuse her, and harm her friends. This came to a head when her delusion talked her into slitting her wrists.
* BrokenBird: Pick a female character. Pretty much any female character. They all have their moments, although Mirror and Nala definitely lead the flock.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Doctor Sweeney. A coffee swilling, romanticizing, cigarette smoking therapist who performs magic tricks, has dialogue that's practically made of snark, has a black belt in karate, and used to streetfight. He's also having sex with one of his fellow doctors. Did I mention he's played by Robert Downey Jr? He's also pretty much the most sensitive, competent doctor in the entire hospital. Tied to UltimateJobSecurity

* DarkerAndEdgier: Pretty much the entire concept. It's the Disney canon with a giant dosage of real life horror.

** Subverted with Sweeney, who pretty much refuses point blank to prescribe unnecessary drugs.
** May well be invoked with some of the NPC doctors, given that here AdultsAreUseless, and the medical care is largely ineffectual. Sweeney is pretty much the OnlySaneMan.
* DramaBomb: Everything seemed to be going well. Relationships were springing up left, right and centre, character development was largely positive, everyone was the closest they could get to happy. Then, in one week, Flower took an accidental overdose, [[DisneyFairies Fawn's]] hallucinations intensified and she slit her wrists, and then it goes FromBadToWorse with Thumper's genuine suicide attempt. It was pretty much a [[WhamEpisode Wham Week]] for all involved, and things haven't improved yet.

* FalseFriend: Maid Ruby to [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Barbie]], at least when they were discussing Herc. Actually, Maid Ruby to pretty much everybody, except a select few.
* FoolForLove: Terrence and Mirror, the two biggest DeadpanSnarkers in the entire asylum. Put them together, they're just a pair of massive softies.

* HospitalHottie: Pretty much the full compliment of nursing staff. Sweeney, too, given that his face claim is Robert Downey Jr.

** Pretty much half the asylum fell into this when Ella found alcohol in the kitchens.

* OldDarkHouse: The asylum is pretty much one of these. More than one patient has lampshaded the fact that it's the sort of place where serial killings regularly happen.

* SanitySlippage: Pretty much a description of how the patients wound up in the Asylum.

* SplitPersonality: Mad Hatter. He has five - one is an oversexed near-predator, one is a hyperactive man child, one is a complete psychopath, one is basically TheSnarkKnight in a top hat, and one is...actually a pretty reasonable guy.

** [[TheLionKing Kovu]], too. He's not really spoken much about it, but when your adopted father is Scar, pretty much king of the [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bastards]], this is a given.

** Then there's [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Barbie]]. Although her parents weren't physically abusive, her mother's constant pressure on her to be better, prettier and skinnier is one of the major contributing factors in her eating disorder.

* FalseFriend: Maid Ruby to [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Barbie]], at least when they were discussing Herc. Actually, Maid Ruby to pretty much everybody, except a select few.

* StalkerWithACrush: [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Prince Eric]] to Disney/{{Cinderella}}. ItGotWorse.

* DramaBomb: Everything seemed to be going well. Relationships were springing up left, right and centre, character development was largely positive, everyone was the closest they could get to happy. Then, in one week, Flower took an accidental overdose, [[DisneyFairies Fawn's]] hallucinations intensified and she slit her wrists, and then ItGotWorse with Thumper's genuine suicide attempt.

* AbusiveParents:

** [[TheLionKing Kovu]], too. He's not really spoken much about it, but when your adopted father is Scar, pretty much king of the [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bastards]], this is a given.
** Then there's [[ToyStory Barbie]]. Although her parents weren't physically abusive, her mother's constant pressure on her to be better, prettier and skinnier is one of the major contributing factors in her eating disorder.

* AnythingThatMoves:

* DrFeelgood:
** Subverted with Sweeney, who pretty much refuses point blank to prescribe unnecessary drugs.

* IntoxicationEnsues:

* TeamMom:

!! This roleplay provides examples of:

** Subverted '''hard''' with Sweeney, who pretty much refuses point blank to prescribe unnecessary drugs.

** Disney/{{Hercules}} had one after having a psychopathic episode. He punched a doorframe so hard that it shattered his hand, and the wood, and then walked around with a busted hand full of splinters for a full day before he let anyone near it. Or him.

** [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Esmeralda]] suffers from almost literal HighOctaneNightmareFuel, so she keeps herself awake by choice. She has sleeping pills, but refuses them.

* AttemptedRape: [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Prince Eric]] to Disney/{{Cinderella}}. Made, quite frankly, doubly awful given the [[RapeAsBackstory reason she's in the asylum]] and [[ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt reason Eric gave to legitimize himself.]]

** Entirely subverte in the case of Disney/{{Hercules}}, who believes his memories are real, to the point of psychosis, flying into rages whenever his past is disputed.

* SmallNameBigEgo: [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewClothes Kuzco.]] No one really knows who he is, and very few people genuinely like him, yet he still acts as if he's the Emperor he used to be.
