!Imagisphere
Wait, what?\\
Oh boy, here we go.\\
You see, I may or may not have a world/story/worlds/stories I meticulously constructed in my mind for the purpose of escapism, entertaiment and maybe something else, I don't know. This site is my way of cataloguing, archiving and taxonomifying everything in it and of it, so hopefully I won't forget like I forgot every single thing ever and most of the things that happened.\\
Why haven't I made it into a story or written it down before? Simple, plain, old laziness. Or executive dysfunction. Or maybe I'm hyperfocusing on this just now. Or maybe the lore is too deep now and I can't go back because literally nobody except for me has the context.\\

!!General, paracosm-spanning tropes include:
* CerebusSyndrome: ZigzaggedTrope. Sometimes it's cheery and funny, sometimes it's super dramatic, other times it's a mix of the two, but universally it's just really weird.
* GenreSavvy: The Imagisphere isn't a media in the traditional sense, but this doesn't mean the characters are not savvy and meta-referential. Important {{Ancient Artifact}}s are called {{MacGuffin}}s InUniverse (to the point where there is a ''trading site'' for them called artefact.org where people across the Verse market items as "capable of convenient fusion" or "AppliedPhlebotinum-free!"), the current bad guy is referred to as the BigBad, and most characters [[MediumAwareness are aware their worlds are fiction and there's a whole multiverse to be explored]]. WNAOTI ([[FunWithAcronyms [=Worlds Not Aware Of The Imagisphere=]]]) are exceptions, of course, and there's a widely accepted quasi-AlienNonInterferenceClause that you don't introduce them to the multiversal community just because.
* NewWeird: Not SciFi, not Fantasy, nothing [[ScienceFantasy else]]. The 'Sphere is all and none of these, with wizards and robots, gods and rings, coders and mages, mercenaries, angels, demons and [[{{NinjaPirateZombieRobot}} everything in-between]]. It's a FantasyKitchenSink piled on top of a SciFiKitchenSink on top of a [[RuleOfThree Whatever Kitchen Sink]] all contained in one, omniverse-sized sink. [[OverlyLongGag And it's all surrounded by the Eldritch Sinks that are incomprehensible to all other sinks.]]
* NoFourthWall: The main characters are aware this is "not real", as are many other. Justified since the main character is [[SelfInsert the avatar of the person that wrote this. Yes, that's me.]]
** Despite this, the cosm clearly leans towards a more [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Watsonian]] perspective.
* TheWorldAsMyth: The entire concept of the Imagisphere is this. It started as an obsession with VideoGame/AngryBirds and a shameless self insert, then WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo and another self insert character. Eventually it spanned the entire omniverse and is now almost entirely original characters and concepts with a bit of crossover thrown in.
** This is actually a JustifiedTrope. The ICM and [[ExactWords Real World]]/World Zero are connected with "thoughtstreams", with the thoughts of even a single person being real somewhere in the Imagisphere/Imagisphere adjacent universes. (It's unclear if it's the thoughts that make the worlds or the worlds that influence the thoughts.)\\
Even with the Imagisphere condensed, it continues to absorb thoughts, making it an infinite well of power, [[CosmicKeystone now in a convenient]], [[MacGuffin easily steal-able form]].

* CerebusSyndrome: Zigzagged really wildly. Sometimes it's cheery and funny, sometimes it's super dramatic, other times it's a mix of the two, but universally it's just really weird.
