History WMG / PushingDaisies

The world of ''Series/PushingDaisies'' is the world of FMA [[ExtyYearsFromNow Exty Years from Then.]] All the characters live in Amestris, which has become a democracy. Chuck's father, Ned's father, and Dwight Dixon were all state alchemists traveling together; hence, the pocket watches.

[[WMG: ''Pushing Daisies'' takes place in the same universe as ''Film/{{Babe}}'' and ''Film/{{Penelope}}'']]

Both movies and this series are set in a brightly colored patchwork city/country of uncertain time and place (for instance, ''Penelope'' is set in [[BigAppleSauce New]] [[UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco San]] LondonTown) where the magical and the mundane often collide.

DC has accepted Fullers' 12 book arc in DC. Provided PushingDaisies is in the some Continuity as the rest of TheVerse, an AntiHero could theoreically be resurrected easily. Ned might have issue with this, but with an upcoming ZombieApocalypse, there could be plenty of victims that Ned doesn't feel bad about.

Remember that one episode of ''TheXFiles'' where there's a demon who's set up multiple families and is methodically trying to produce a non-demon kid? What if Ned's dad were doing something similar? When Ned's mother died, her husband--not realizing that she'd already been brought back and died again--concluded that their son lacked the ability, and abandoned Ned. Much later, that's why he abandoned the twins and their mother, too; at some point they must have demonstrated to him that they didn't have the power.

* Boring alternative: Ned was extra careful and set the timer to go off at 55 seconds.

* This troper believes there may be a trope concerning the idea that magic wears off when the caster dies, like in HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince. Either way, this would make sense. It would also return some form of nature to Ned's left-alive people, rather than have them remain permanently immortal/unaging.
