1Just as poison oak is a plant to avoid, these tropes are EpilepticTrees to avoid (well, [[BileFascination not for some of us]]). Basically a crazy theory of your favourite show/game/movie/book/etc., that just pops into your head, but you ''don't want to be true''.
2
3It could be because it's something {{squick}}y, stupid, [[ClicheStorm horribly cliche]], [[TearJerker too sad]], or just plain {{Troll}}ing ForTheEvulz, but for whatever reason, you ''really want to be wrong'' in this case. Sometimes you wanted to [[BrainBleach eradicate the theory from your brain]], but it still persists and the theory just begs to be written down. Sometimes the guess can contain elements of {{Canon}}, WordOfGod or TruthInTelevision, but you just found said elements to be [[EvenEvilHasStandards too disgusting for standards]] and/or wished it to be nothing but mere fictional lies.

10[[WMG: There is no In-Universe Experimentation of [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation Sister Location]]...]]
11''We're'' the ones being experimented on. The games are actually a series of experiments to test all kinds of psychological processes, from our fear reactions to our reasoning ability and our interactions with/on the internet. The games are all created in a secret government lab. Scott Cawthon is just their cover identity. How else do you think "Scott" gets the games out fast?
12[[WMG: ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is a ShaggyDogStory that is leading nowhere.]]
13In fact the chances are, the shaggy dog will get [[ShootTheShaggyDog shot]].
14* As of 2023, it remains unsure whether the books will follow a similar path, but the reception to [[OverTookTheManga Season 8]] of [[Series/GameOfThrones the series]] would [[SeasonalRot seem to confirm this]] if they do. Although the showrunners have made statements about several plotlines to the effect that they were things they themselves came up with.
15
16[[WMG: The Drowned God the Greyjoys worship is [[Creator/HPLovecraft Cthulhu.]]]]
17He will rise up in the final book and eat everyone: No plots will be resolved, no personal struggles will mean anything, the story will just end without anyone resolving their individual storylines; [[RocksFallEveryoneDies Cthulhu rises, everyone gets eaten.]]

19[[WMG: It's Creator/StephenHawking's fault that the 21st century isn't as futuristic as it ought to be.]]
20Hawking was put on this earth to make a handful of scientific inventions that would usher humanity into a new age, and then die. Just like UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla. His illness was was intended to be a kind of built-in time limit - yes, it seems awfully cruel, but [[JerkassGods the Fates can be jerks like that.]] [[http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/b/billwatter109676.html His continued, medically improbable survival is due to conscious or unconscious procrastination.]] All the time Hawking spends making guest appearances on WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}, writing popular science books about scientific questions ([[ADegreeInUseless that lead to nowhere useful]]), or having any kind of personal life, he is extending his own life, but at the cost of delaying the next stage of civilization.
21** After Steven Hawking's death, this is DudeNotFunny, and Jossed.
22*** Especially since Hawking made groundbreaking advancements in his field, and was responsible for a fair chunk of our current understanding of space and physics. Just because you don't have the degrees required to understand advanced astrophysics doesn't mean it's a useless field.
23[[WMG: Why are the {{Blues}} so continually popular with musicians? {{Schadenfreude}}.]]
24To quote [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Bleeding Gums Murphy]]: ''"The blues ain't about makin' yourself feel better; it's about makin' other people feel worse."'' Hence the "miserable drunk who is down on the dumps" feel. And it's continually popular with listeners for the same reason this page is [[TooKinkyToTorture so]] [[BileFascination popular]].
25* Also the same reason why TrueArtIsAngsty, why art critics like a good {{Tragedy}}, and why sad Classical Music (e.g. LonelyPianoPiece) is beautiful. Why the hell are ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'', ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (which is based on the tragedy of ''Theatre/OedipusTheKing'') and ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' (which is based on the tragic archetype of ''Myth/{{Faust}}'') so acclaimed and popular?
26* [[FromBadToWorse Same]] [[OhCrap with]] [[FridgeHorror the]] [[Administrivia/AllBlueEntry All Blue Entries]] ([[MadeFromRealGirlScouts see]] [[PoweredByAForsakenChild the]] [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurf]] [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife theories]] [[CrapsackWorld above]]).
27
28[[WMG: {{Blues}} musicians and other creators of depressing art must feed on murdered Smurfs daily or lose their talent.]]
29They also have to feast on the blood of Snorks so they don’t [[OurVampiresAreDifferent crumble to dust in direct sunlight]], and drink a mixture of [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Rye, Bourbon and]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy’s tears]] every twenty minutes or [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting they turn into pumpkins]] [[WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve on the stroke of midnight]]. Also never [[Film/{{Gremlins}} feed a Blues musician after midnight or let them get wet]]: it doesn't do anything supernatural to them, [[BoringButPractical it just tends to put them off their set if they're either too full or soaking wet during late performances.]]
30* Speaking of other creators of depressing art, this may also mean that [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Hideaki Anno thought of creating Rei Ayanami]] when drunk on a cocktail that includes Smurfs and Tang. Hence Rei's blue hair and ''Evangelion's'' depression appeal.
31
32[[WMG: Addendum about [[PoweredByAForsakenChild Fluttershy's]] [[SwissArmyTears tears]] that are mentioned above:]]
33[[PoweredByAForsakenChild Fluttershy's tears]] are also good {{Unobtainium}} for powering our universe, since her tears approach a near 100% entropy-free energy efficiency compared to oil and uranium, and also act like safer and more reliable versions of [[VideoGame/BioShock ADAM]] stem cells, combined with a superior evolution of the innate antimicrobial properties already found in tears. Said evolutionary properties of her ocular fluids are speculated to be the reason for how she can protect her extremely vulnerable TaremeEyes from infection obtained from everyday contact with her [[NatureIsNotNice biohazardous wild environment]]. Every anime girl also possesses a limited extent of this trait, but Tareme-eyed {{Moe}} girls exhibit its complete evolutionary expression, hence their, well, extremely expressive perpetually-puppy-dog-like Tareme eyes. This is the secret behind Fluttershy's ability to cure kind of animal despite her lack of a medical degree or sufficient equipment in her household, which in normal circumstances should be an unsanitary and dangerous biohazard due to the abundance of non-vaccinated wild animals combined with lack of proper sanitary procedures.
34
35Hypothesized to be the reason why Equestria has little pandemics of deadly diseases, such as the infamous Ebola Virus which should have been transmitted through the non-vaccinated wild animals Fluttershy takes care of. Also speculated to be able to cause limited antidepressant pheromone effects to non-intelligent lower animals as well, which can be weaponized in the form of her Stare which pacifies any animal. I'm also hypothesizing that if Ebola or an alien plague (e.g. unpacifiable parasitic [[Film/{{Alien}} Xenomorphs]], [[VideoGame/StarCraft Zerg]] infestation, HatePlague, any disease that results in ZombieApocalypse, Ebola, etc) invaded Equestria and Fluttershy wasn't there to pacify and cure the infected, then even the alicorns Twilight and Celestia would have never saw the megadeaths coming before it's too late for their magic to fix the devastation wrought by the pandemic, similar to the Aztecs' lack of immunity to European xeno diseases. (Also, without Fluttershy's tears to provide immunity and pacification, they would have never been able to resist said ZergRush, considering that unlike Fluttershy, Twilight and Celestia prefer to fight directly with their PsychicPowers which the Zerg Swarm will simply find delicious, which means that they will be infested into the pony equivalent of Kerrigan. No, the Elements of Harmony aka the Orbital Friendship Cannon will not help to repel the aggressive and limitless xenomorph swarm, and the psychic emissions caused by the Elements will just attract even worse intergalactic [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Tyranids]]. Ergo, only using the pacifying pheromones in Fluttershy's tears will subdue the Swarm of these animals).
36
37But why don't we humans and other inhabitants of alternate universes [[WeWillHavePerfectHealthInTheFuture have perfect health in the Future]]? Because, this unobtainium is mostly consumed by [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Incubators, who necessitate a constant supply of Moe in order to obtain fuel to decelerate the accumulating Entropic decay of themselves and the cosmos as a whole,]] and creators of TrueArtIsAngsty (including but not limited to: authors of {{Tragedy}} e.g. Creator/GenUrobuchi, depressing Classical Music composers e.g. Music/LudwigVanBeethoven, Blues musicians, Emos, and anybody who likes ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''), whose Angst put them in an eternal state of exponentially accelerated entropy, rendering their immune systems extremely vulnerable (TruthInTelevision: depression and stress compromises the immune system, both directly and indirectly) and therefore forcing them to consume these tears forever, hence the continuous rarity. [[note]]Speaking of Rarity, to pay for the Bourbon [[Literature/AnimalFarm we sold her to the glue factory]], because Rarity's tears were never useful besides giving Diamond Dogs allergy and brain inflammations, and/or cosmetic purposes for ugly mules. Also dangerous, for any contact between Rarity's tears and ''JustForFun/TheUglyBarnacle'' [[RealityBreakingParadox will cause a contradictory paradox in all of existential causality]] that results into [[ApocalypseHow class Z apocalypse where absolutely Everyone dies. Or worse, become ugly forever. The end]].[[/note]]
38
39Production of sufficient quantities of [[SwissArmyTears Fluttershy tears]] was difficult at first and was the primary limiting factor in Blues production, which is why the popularity of Justin Bieber is plunging our universe closer to TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, but up until recently, eventually we hit on the idea of cloning her several thousand times and collecting the tears with a specialised catheter that fits under her eyes, along with [[Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles Pinkamena Diane Pie]] and everybody else in the TortureTechnician list and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexual offence]] registry [[{{Room 101}} hired to torture Fluttershy forever, along with a million clones of Angel Bunny, and a large blender]]. Administration of a [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Class A Amnesiac]] after every third or fourth session (similar to [[Website/SCPFoundation Procedure 110-Montauk]]) is also recommended for prevention of desensitization and cynicism from the familiarity with the procedure, which prevents optimum tears extraction. Personnel who express sympathy towards Fluttershy's plight and/or express a desire to rescue or sympathize towards Fluttershy WILL be met with immediate Lethal Termination for accelerating the entropy of this universe. No, putting the poor girl out of her misery is NOT an option. Neither is rendering her unconscious, comatose, or any form of pain relief, narcotic or analgesic to herself. She has to be completely sensitive and aware of what is going on in order for the extraction to work. And when all that does not work, [[FelonyMisdemeanor we read]] [[OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs fanfic]] [[FelonyMisdemeanor to her.]]
40* But you only need five clones of [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]] to do the work of over 9000 Fluttershy clones with very little provocation, and her tears produce only one-eighth the emissions! There's a reason why Incubators switched from normal Moe girls such as Fluttershy to harness the goddess Madoka instead! [[note]]Yeah, the...byproducts carry a risk of starting Instrumentality, but what else is there? ''Solar'' power? Listening to Justin Bieber instead of the blues? Pfft.[[/note]]
41* I am utterly, utterly nauseated by the above: [[EvenEvilHasStandards you can't get supernatural blues-playing talent drinking Bourbon with Fluttershy and Madoka Kaname tears! The very idea is Abhorrent!]] [[ManOfWealthAndTaste You drink them in a cocktail with Gin, Vodka or another clear sprit!]] No wonder you don’t get invited to Smokey Wilson’s annual Smurf-murder party! Madoka Kaname tears with Bourbon PFFT! Perhaps you'd like a brown paper bottle to drink them out of whist you’re at it?
42* Don't Creator/ChuckNorris' tears cure cancer? [[EpilepticTrees Hey, has anybody seen Fluttershy and Chuck Norris at the same place at the same time?]]
43
44[[WMG: It really is the end of hand-drawn animation]]
45As children these days who are fed with [[AllCGICartoon CGI cartoons]] from their very youth, they will begin to find hand-drawn moving images dull and "flat" in a bad way. None of them, once adult, will want to be a hand-drawn animator, and in a few generations hand-drawn animation will be considered as archaic and unattractive as silent movies are for us, outside of a few aficionadoes; or as black and white movies are starting to be for an always-growing majority of people.
46
47[[WMG: ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' is either propaganda or told from the point of view of a VillainProtagonist]]
48The Anti-Spirals were right: Spiral Energy, a Darwinian evolution-based power source fueled by aggressions and passions (or should we say the [[Franchise/StarWars Dark Side of the force]]) is [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow something Man Was Not Meant To Know]] ala the Atomic Bomb, and when misused will destroy the universe (or even multiverse, think of ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths), especially when handed over to [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters the beast Man]]. With this WeaponOfMassDestruction, humanity became a militaristic, expansionist, SocialDarwinist space empire not unlike the Imperium of Man from TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}. All that bombastic and hammy talk about the PowerOfFriendship? It's a disguised message of WithUsOrAgainstUs. Of course, the purpose of propaganda is daemonization of the enemy, hence why the Anti-spirals are portrayed as {{Eldritch Abomination}}s and {{manipulative bastard}}s just like how UsefulNotes/NaziGermany portrayed the Jews as manipulators who have ChronicBackstabbingDisorder. Kamina might be an in-universe equivalent of Hitler (or considering he's dead, [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Lenin]]).
49
50[[WMG: Half of these theories are completely false]]
51The other half, however? [[NightmareFuel Completely true]]. [[ParanoiaFuel And you won't find out which until it's too late]].
52* This actually isn't too bad now that most of the ''[[ParanoiaFuel really]]'' horrible theories have been moved to the Archive page.
53** [[{{InsaneTrollLogic}} But how do you know that this theory isn't one of the false ones?]]
54
55[[WMG: [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Sweetie Belle]] is NOT Rarity's little sister.]]
56Ahhh… Rarity Rarity Rarity… you can run and hide from the issue all you like, but sooner or later, [[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo that teen pregnancy is coming back to haunt you…]]
57* And on that note, where do you think Applebloom came from? *[[{{BrotherSisterIncest}} looking at Applejack & Big MacIntosh]]*
58* What about Scootaloo? Hey, maybe even Rainbow Dash isn't ''totally'' gay...
59** That presumes [[RapeAsDrama it was consensual.]] [[DownerEnding Why do you think Dashie, the Element of loyalty, rejected her own daughter?]] [[HideYourLesbians Too many bad associations]] [[BuryYourGays with her Father's attempt to]] [[CureYourGays “cure” her of her orientation]].
60*** That would explain [[IncestIsRelative Scootaloo's wing deformity]]...
61* The Scootaloo theory is {{Jossed}} to Tartarus and back, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E18BrotherhoovesSocial Brotherhooves Social explicitly states that]] they are not blood related. This of course, makes there sisterly relation [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments even more sweet.]]

63[[WMG: Creator/BenedictCumberbatch will go prematurely bald.]]
64[[BigNo Nooo!]] Eventually all that [[DyeingForYourArt Dyeing For His Art]] will take a toll on his scalp. It may have already started - both Sherlock and Peter Guillam have bangs, which may be concealing a receding hairline.
65* But in the same way as it was for Michael Rosenbaum (of Smallville fame), that'll just make him more attractive to those with an interest. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPpYDHQVp9c dirty dirty girls]] will like him no matter what.
66
67[[WMG: Haruhiahweh caused the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.]]
68To punish Japan for letting ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' outsell [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya her series]]. On top of that, ''Madoka'''s final episode was originally scheduled to air on Good Friday (more on this below).

72To punish America for allowing Music/TheBeatles to gain huge success when John Lennon claimed to be more popular than Jesus. Lennon wouldn't say this for another two years, but since God [[EldritchAbomination exists beyond time and space]], [[WesternAnimation/FutuRama Shklee]] knew what Shklee was doing.
73* As of 2012, [[FridgeHorror we're still waiting on Shkler punishment to Britain]].
74
75[[WMG: [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Canterlot]] is not a stand-in for [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Minas Tirith]] It is in fact Equestria’s version of [[Literature/TheHungerGames the Capitol, and Ponyville, with its focus on farming, is region eleven…]] [[OhCrap and Reaping Day is coming]] ]]
76It could be worse, wherever Pinkie grew up looked like it must be region twelve. And at least there aren’t that many similarities between MLP:FIM and Literature/TheHungerGames… it’s not like one of the mane six is a feisty Appalachian outdoorsy tomgirl with a big family to feed who is protective of their younger sister, or if one of them lived in a bakery or anything…

85
86[[WMG: [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] is representative of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany and UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan, and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]] is representative of the Jews and other repressed peoples.]]
87Hence how ''Madoka'' is called the SpiritualSuccessor to ''Evangelion''; it represents a desire to reconcile between Japan's unseemly past and the Jews and other {{ButtMonkey}}s and [[TheWoobie Woobie]] peoples they wronged in Asia and the South Pacific. ([[Fanfic/NeonGenesisMadokaMagica Shinji/Madoka]] {{Shipping}} FanFic is an attempt to bond both peoples.) Perhaps [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments this]] shouldn't go under WMG/PoisonOakEpilepticTrees. But then, remembering the [[GodwinsLaw Nazi allusions]] with NERV and the [[PeopleFarms possible Holocaust allusions]] with ''Madoka'', perhaps it should. [[Tropers/AndyJ I]] [[ShrugOfGod was drunk when I wrote this]]. ([[CloudCuckoolander And I did say I was a lunatic]].)
88
89[[WMG: UsefulNotes/NaziGermany was all Germany's [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Witch form]].]]
90Its loss in UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne, the crushing debts of the Versailles Treaty, and the resulting HumiliationConga, followed by the [[TheGreatDepression Depres]][[TheLastStraw sion]] pushed the whole country beyond the DespairEventHorizon and turned it into a [[OmnicidalManiac nihilistic, murderous monster knowing only war and destruction]].
91
92Considering the GratuitousGerman ThemeNaming of the Witches, the ''Myth/{{Faust}}'' allusions, the [[{{Ghostapo}} occult symbolism all around Nazi Germany]], how it met its absolute despair and Film/{{Downfall}} on April 30 (known in Nazi occultism as Walpurgisnacht), the aforementioned [[GodwinsLaw Holocaust]] parallels, and the obvious fact that AllGermansAreNazis, and you know this one is true.
93* Germany's original wish was to achieve national unity after centuries of existence as [[UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire a collection of weak, squabbling kingdoms and principalities which often served as Western Europe's playthings]], which it obviously got under UsefulNotes/OttoVonBismarck. Unfortunately, Bismarck's militaristic "blood and iron" policy and UsefulNotes/ImperialGermany's territorial wars through the late 19th century only gave them the stereotype of a might-makes-right quasi-barbarian state, hence all the dehumanizing [[EatsBabies baby-eating]] propaganda of them as shown on the UnfortunateImplications main page. Thus Germany's Witch form came to embody just this.
94* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct is the same mechanism on why [[spoiler:people who tried to stop both Walpurgis Night and/or Nazis through Time Travel (such as Homura) only end up failing and making things go FromBadToWorse.]]
95* Or perhaps [[spoiler:Hitler himself]] ''is'' Walpurgisnacht (his suicide on the date of Walpurgisnacht was just a coverup) and one of the extraordinary few who are able to become Puer Magi without needing fancy magical girl costumes, simply because he's so abundant in Angst. Walpurgisnacht also wants to turn the entire world into a drama, and [[spoiler:Hitler views his life as a Wagnerian opera.]] Also, Nazi Alchemists conspired with Incubators to create a massive singularity of EquivalentExchange-defying despair-energy known as the Holocaust, ala ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003''.
96* [[FridgeHorror Wait, if Nazi Germany was a Witch and Magical Girls battle Witches does this mean Britain, America, the USSR and possibly some of the nations who helped the allies were all Magical Girls who will one day become witches too?]]
97** The USSR is the witch form of Russia. Specifically, Anastasia, who was a magical girl.
98*** The USSR being the witch form of Russia is interesting, as the Soviet Union had a regiment of female fighter pilots called the Night Witches.

She ''claims'' to truly love him, but also flat-out said she and her sisters liked being pampered by him. His neutering is actually the EquivalentExchange curse is response to his wish...and also a side effect of having his soul ripped out. And yes, Skuld, Urd, Peorth and all the others are also Incubators who have MindRaped [[FridgeHorror many others into doing their bidding]].]]
107* The series of course will end with K1 falling into despair and becoming a [[DistaffCounterpart Warlock]].
108* Kyubey is of course a male of his species, and of course he handles the females. Since this is [[CrapsackWorld Poison Oak Epileptic Trees]], feel free to interject as many rape metaphors (surprise surprise) as you like for both series.
109* Alternatively, the Incubators are a genderless species (which seems to be WordOfGod). Some appeal to [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals girls]] with their normal appearance as RidiculouslyCuteCritter[=s=]. To appeal to heterosexual males, they disguise themselves as gorgeous women.
110
111[[WMG: ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' is not the key to World Peace, and will instead trigger World War III]]
112But only if the original creator dies [[ReplacementScrappy and is replaced]] with [[RunningTheAsylum a lunatic]], who will make the show mind-blowingly offensive to the point where anyone who watches it will see it as a BrownNote. Everyone will be so filled with hatred for each other that the whole world will become a frenzy. Alternatively, the show ''can'' create World Peace if it becomes a BrownNote in the other direction; namely, if anyone who watches it will suddenly be filled with a strong sense of love and mutual respect for fellow nations.

118[[WMG: The next season of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' will begin with both Sherlock and John having married women during the hiatus.]]
119And not even women who have already been introduced and given character development! This will have been a calculated move to spite the [[FanPreferredCouple Johnlock shippers]], the [=Sherlock/Irene=] and [=Sherlock/Molly=] shippers, and anyone emotionally invested in Sherlock being asexual.

122Its stated that the children are getting harder to scare, humans are losing their emotions in this universe. To get power the monsters will resort to giving sexual favors for their power instead of comedy routines as the children will soon lose their sense of humor but not their sex drives.
123
124[[WMG:Every character who does not look like their parents is a result of rape and/or kidnapping.]]
125Genetics say so.
126* Actually, not really. Even in Real Life phenotypes can skip a generation. This is due to recessive alleles. Basically, some gene variants can be "covered up" by others, unless a person has two copies of the same variant. The magical possibilities of a fictional universe need to be taken into account as well. A child who doesn't look like their parents may be a changeling and/or Divine Child, if that is a possibility within the work's rules. Also, any setting can allow for some form of adoption: which may or may not be something anyone feels the need to talk about. Think ''Literature/Harry Potter''.

143The Tyranids reproduce by consuming organic matter. Heartless are made when a person's heart is lost to darkness. A Nobody is the body and soul left behind. An Unversed is made of pure negative energy. The Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed eventually evolved into the Tyranids and consumed all fictional universes excpet TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}, Literature/{{Flatland}}, and RealLife. The reason hearts are not freed is because either the Tyranids have so much darkness they are instantly re-corrupted or the Warhammer 40,000 universe is so GrimDark they instantly change back because of the grimdarkness.

154Let's see now...Ansem/Xemnas wants Ansem Retort to get even better ratings, [[MoneyDearBoy which will make him ever richer]] - rich enough to buy the allegiance of Governor Zexion. He will pay Zex to have Axel and Darth Maul fly up into space and get him an asteroid, and Axel being AlwaysChaoticEvil he'll fly the asteroid straight into the surface of the Earth (perhaps in the ocean somewhere, to create massive tidal waves a la ''Film/DeepImpact.'') For those who don't get killed off by the ensuing impact, Ansem will convince Marluxia to [[BlackComedyRape roofie-rape Hercules,]] thus pushing his biggest BerserkButton and making him lay waste to everything in his path. For good measure, afterwards Marly will have his way with Skullfucky, and when Larxene sees this she will be so enraged at the wanton abuse of her favorite toy that she will unleash holy hell on everything and everyone else. And Xemnas will have cloned every human on Earth, placed them into an orbiting space station while the world burns below, and made it so that during the apocalypse all that's on TV is live coverage of the disaster zone on Ansem Retort, which will achieve the impossible (a true sign of the apocalypse!) a 100.0 Nielsen ratings share. And Ansem will rake in the dough, bathe in it, [[{{Squick}} jerk off to it,]] and finally buy up the entire universe with it...then kill off all the clones, build his own version of the [[Franchise/StarTrek Starship Enterprise,]] and travel to other inhabited worlds so the whole process can repeat itself over and over and over...into infinity.
155
156* You may now sink to your knees with despair.
157
158[[WMG:[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica The Incubators]] are actually the civilization of ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'']]
159Basic concept: Human emotion as [[PoweredByAForsakenChild high-octane entropy-defying energy source]], that also happens to be exploited by {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s who have the [[WellIntentionedExtremist good intention]] of maximizing the extraction of this entropy-free energy lest their civilization or even universe collapses. I'm actually surprised nobody noticed this yet. In Monsters Inc.'s past, children's fears served as this energy. Sure, laughter eventually replaces fear as more powerful, and this caused Monstropolis to enter a [[TheSingularity technological revolution]], but eventually even all the laughter in the world fails to feed the demands of said revolution, like how petroleum is failing to feed our energy demands nowadays. They eventually discover a new and even more efficient and powerful form of emotion-energy that is based on exploiting the boundary between hope and despair....
160* Good point, although Kyubey said he [[spoiler:just wanted to counteract universal entropy, not just provide power to his planet]]. [[FridgeHorror Unless he was lying about that, and I wouldn't put that past him]].
161** He's not lying, engineers do agree that reducing entropy would result in easier and more efficient power transmission to any planet.
162
163[[WMG:Creator/KojiKumeta didn't plan the ending of [[spoiler:''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'']] from the beginning.]]
164He stole--uh, [[InsistentTerminology adapted]] it from that of [[spoiler:''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'']]. The strange coincidences in the OP videos [[spoiler:(and Kafuka's absence in group shots)]] are just that; coincidences.
165
166[[WMG: In the future [[{{Moe}} cute]] [[PoweredByAForsakenChild girls' tears and despair will be used to power civilization]]. Yes, we will emulate the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Incubators]].]]
167* It gets worse. Eventually the tears production will be stopped by a skyrocketing in the girls committing suicides. To prevent this, [[AndIMustScream we hook Moe girls forcefully]] into [[Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream AM]], where they live in a Real-ish simulation environment, but are also forced to [[YearInsideHourOutside endure eternal]] [[MindRape emotional torture and cry in pain over and over again]], while [[WhoWantsToLiveForever those who are suicidal are forced to reincarnate and live forever]]. Also, when they grow up and get too desensitized and cynical to it (ala "witched out"), we use them for [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil a form of reproduction that must not be named]], since cloning has the disadvantage of low emotional stimulation. Alternatively, to eradicate the cynicism, we emulate [[Website/SCPFoundation Procedure 110-Montauk]] and administer to the subjects [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Class A Amnesiacs]] after every third or fourth session to prevent desensitization and maintain continual emotional response.
168* This process obviously creates ''Madoka''-style Witches, and the resulting rates of suicide, insanity and homicide among the general public leads world governments to create [[Anime/PsychoPass the Sybil System]] once MindReading is perfected Years Into The Future. The reason why one's Criminality Coefficient jumps up in the presence of a criminal is because Witch Kisses are actually contagious (much like how actual kisses can spread germs and bacteria).
169* Alternatively, the Moe Tears Extraction System propels humanity into an age of technological renaissance that assimilates us into TheSingularity and heralds our evolution into Incubators. The world of ''Madoka Magica'' takes place in the distant future populated by HumanAliens that we manipulated to resemble our miserable history in order to harvest more miserable Moe Girls.

171[[WMG: ''Series/{{Dexter}}'s'' homicidal tendencies are Harry's fault]]
172Young Dexter was never actually a budding homicidal maniac - he was a seriously traumatized child who also had a form of OCD that's characterized by intrusive violent thoughts, rather than physical rituals. Harry grossly misinterpreted this and made matters worse by teaching him to be a vigilante killer.

176* [[FridgeHorror Because these events kept even worse things from happening.]]
177* I'm just pointing out that those who believe in the Abrahamic God believe that He is both all-loving and has infinite wisdom, which means that they technically already believe this.
178** Not necessarily. Loving someone often means letting them make a decision you know is wrong, or doing something you know is bad. People are notoriously bad at listening, especially ambitious would-be world conquerors and Emperors. Also, in many of these cases: yes something much worse really would have been likely if history had gone differently. There are many moments in history however when anything except what actually happened would have resulted in a much better outcome, and this is readily demonstrable. The conquest of the Americas comes to mind.
179
180[[WMG: Heaven and the afterlife are real]]
181But only the non-believers get in. Anyone who thinks there is even the slightest chance of life after death is doomed to an eternity of nothing. Why is this bad then? Because 1) believers want to live forever, but are doomed to TheNothingAfterDeath, while 2) atheists know that [[WhoWantsToLiveForever living forever is one of the most horrifying and nightmarish scenarios ever]], but are still doomed to live forever. In the end, it's Hell for both.
182* Atheists don't (usually) believe an afterlife is a horrifying or nightmarish scenario, they just don't think it exists.
183* So the only way to win is to be cool with whatever.

191
192[[WMG: [[Series/TheRedGreenShow Red Green]] is based on the real-life serial killer, Ed Gein.]]
193* The names sound almost identical; 'Red Green' is just 'Ed Gein' with some R sounds added.
194* Red's flannel clothes and hat could be based in some way on Ed Gein's iconic flannel hat; likewise, Red's fanatical love of duct tape could be a subtle hint.
195* Like Red, Gein lived the backwoods and fancied himself a handyman, but was bookish and effeminate as a child, and is implied to have been targeted by bullies.
196* The show has many characters that are [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen spoken of but never seen,]] including Red's wife Bernice. This could have been inspired by Gein's habit of hoarding corpses, including that of hardware store owner Bernice Worden (hers was the only murder for which he was successfully convicted); the classic film Psycho is notably inspired by Gein's crimes, and has a plot twist that makes a very similar association.
197* Red hired his nephew Harold out of guilt, because he has a debt to his brother (another unseen character) that he cannot possibly repay; this could refer to Ed's brother who supposedly perished in a brush fire, but is believed to have been strangled to death by Gein. Harold could also represent the unnamed youth whose parents were close friends of Gein's (making him a de facto nephew of sorts to Gein), to whom Ed revealed his collection of human skin masks.

208* Or all three? [[NoYay Oh, the horror...]]
209
210[[WMG: ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' takes place in a universe controlled by Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya.]]
211Variations on this WMG have come up before (e.g. on [[WMG/GrandUnifyingGuessesNeonGenesisEvangelion Grand Unifying Guesses]]), but what no one else has touched on is that when Haruhi created her own universe, she sped up the rate of entropy, similar to how appliance manufacturers supposedly design early obsolescence into their products, so you have to buy a new computer/TV/coffee maker/iphone/whatever every five or so years instead of every 20-30 years like it used to be. (The old "Maytag Man" probably has a lot more business these days; you could call Incubators universal Maytag Men.)
212
213She may have done this just for [[ForTheEvulz her interests]] to watch the hapless denizens of her universe struggling and suffering to solve the entropy problem, or maybe she did it for the same reason manufacturers supposedly build obsolescence into their products...[[ParanoiaFuel so that]] ''[[ParanoiaFuel something]]'' [[ParanoiaFuel can purchase a new, "upgraded" universe every 6 billion years or so instead of every 20 billion]].
214
215And of course, who can forget the [[EndlessRecursionOfTime Endless Recursion Of Suffering]] suffered by the SOS Brigade suffering under Haruhi's celestial boot? There's Mikuru who is [[BreakTheCutie tortured and bullied]] by Haruhi for being {{Moe}} (like how the Moe factor of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' is enhanced by its CrapsackWorld status). Of course, Homura and Yuki (both not-so-stoics who are also [[AndIMustScream the most tortured sufferers of the hellish, Sisyphean Endless Recursion of Time, and are conscious about all of it]]) must be related. There's Kyon who tries to bear the brunt of Haruhi's wrath ala [[MessianicArchetype Jesus Christ]].
216
217We can even theorize that the being known as Haruhi Suzumiya, as the creator of this system, is the First and most powerful Witch, complete with Barriers, Mazes, Labyrinths (Closed Spaces and existence itself) and Familiars (the Celestials, with the SOS Brigade and the Incubators acting as enslaved pseudo-familiars to enforce her will). This Witch is so powerful as to become TheOmnipotent, with Madokami as nothing before the power of Haruhi. And of course, the fundamental ingredient for mutating a Magical Girl or God into a Witch is melancholy, another name for grief or depression, and [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya according to the title what does Haruhi have? Melancholy]]. So LOGICALLY....
218* ''"But the [[AC:Haruhi]] [[Literature/TheBible hardened Incubators' hearts]], that they hearkened not unto the weeping and wailing of Puella Magi; as the [[AC:Haruhi]] had spoken unto Kyon."''
219* Actually, Haruhi was never a Witch. She's responsible for the whole mess because ''she remade the universe that way'' either [[ItAmusedMe for amusement]] or some deal with a Lovecraftian outer god ''out of her conscious, unaltered free will'' rather than a Witch's infinite rage, thus making [[GodIsEvil Haruhiahweh much more of a complete monster]] and this Tree much more poisonous.

251And every time you masturbate, God kills ''another'' endangered species. [[FridgeHorror Especially the ones in the Amazon and other remote regions that we'll never know about]] ''now''. YouBastard.
252* It's all about EquivalentExchange and TheMultiverse. Because [[Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife every sperm is sacred]] and a guy by masturbating is killing off billions of potential humans, God has to remove an equivalent number of animals in our era and ones before. And ladies, you're not off the hook either...when you masturbate, you're obviously not "in the mood" afterwards; thus cancelling out a potential human life. And your periods are obviously almost as destructive as male masturbation. And let's not even start on homosexuality (unless you're a lesbian and take a sperm donation) or asexuality. Think of the anime ''{{Manga/Bokurano}}'' as an example.
253** Why periods? That's not something you can control. This implies that God is basically [[HoistByHisOwnPetard trolling himself]].
254*** Well, why not? It's suggested FSTDT quotes are all true up above; a God who [[NeverMyFault punishes humans for his own fuckups]] is perfectly in line with what those quotes demonstrate.
255*** Never mind masturbating. Even if they aren't being [[StealthPun tossed away]] they're still dying. Any instant wherein you aren't actively devoting yourself to impregnating something, [[YouBastard you are sinning and therefore killing entire species.]]
256
257[[WMG:Despite the warnings above, people will still try to masturbate and be encouraged to do it specifically because of said warnings.]]
258Yup, because [[OmnicidalManiac performing a holocaust every now and then]] [[EvilFeelsGood feels good.]] Also, eugenics (i.e. masturbation and mass pornography prevent the inferior races such as gays, otakus and the poor from reproducing while their inferior sperms die en masse. Hitler would be proud).
259
260[[WMG: Every single universe which have NoConservationOfEnergy actually [[PoweredByAForsakenChild harvest their energy from the sacred souls of the billions of forsaken sperm exterminated]] by our incessant masturbation mentioned earlier, along with the endangered species God exterminated everytime you touch yourself.]]
261The mechanism is explained by ''Anime/FullMetalAlchemist2003'', where the entropy-violating energy to perform Alchemy is obtained from [[spoiler:the souls of our dead. Specifically, our dead from the World War eras. Hitler basically is fuelling the alchemical revolution of Amestris.]] In this theory, said mechanism can apply to any universe simply because any universe which has causality and energy is immediately bound by the divine and absolute law of EquivalentExchange (as for why Haruhiahweh created Equivalent Exchange and the Laws of Thermodynamics, well [[GodIsEvil because it's more fun that way]]). We dismiss these other universes as fiction, but the modern loss of laws against fictional pornography is actually a secret conspiracy for these other universes to obtain and harvest the soul-energy of our exterminated forsaken potential children in order for said universes to exist.
262
263[[WMG: The [[Franchise/StarTrek Federation]]'s {{Matter Replicator}}s and post-scarcity technology, despite their [[NoPoverty eradication of poverty]], [[CrapsaccharineWorld have a dark side to it]].]]
264Because the Replicators are secretly PoweredByAForsakenChild but kept secret to keep their post-scarcity utopia look nice. The reason is that there's no other way to get around that pesky thermodynamic EquivalentExchange law that makes replicators completely impossible in real life, unless you find out about how to harness people with telekinetic powers or make a [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Philosopher's Stone]] or if you adapted the technology of [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica The Incubators]]....
265* But, why didn't the Q already find out about it?
266** The Q still let the Kyubey do their thing because they maintain order in secret while the alternative would be heat death of the universe. If Q meddled directly through his near-omnipotent powers, either he would get kicked out of the Continuum (and having his omnipotence stripped away), or it would simply accelerate the entropy and result in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Disc]][[ActorAllusion ord]].
267*** Alternatively, the whole trial and omnipotence things were just jokes for Q to get into Picard's pants. Why haven't Q eradicate the warlike races (e.g. Klingons, Cardassians, Dominion, etc.) if he was really serious on the trials?
268** Alternatively, the Federation does power its starships mostly through an matter-antimatter reaction, but enhanced by Dilithium. The Poison oak is that the Federation forbids the deliberate replication of Dilithium itself exactly because it's made from [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Philosopher's Stones]], which allows their starships to perform equivalent-exchange-defying alchemical feats such as matter replication. And "natural" sources of Dilithium are becoming scarce fast....

278
279[[WMG: The real reason why [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] is {{moe}}, plagued by low self-esteem and way too kind to other animals...]]
280Is because she suffered severe abuse when she was a child, both physically, psychologically and sexually. Maybe the childhood bullying isn't the whole story. Maybe her parents did things so bad that I can't go into any detail (I do consider [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]] and [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion forced abortion]] to be possibilities). Whatever her past is, that is the reason why she retreated into extreme shyness and decided to live with only a few animals and her few friends in the world. The reason why she likes animals and her friends so much (to the point that she shows her hidden repressed anger issues, e.g. "You're going to love me!", when anybody dares to look at her animals and friends badly) is because they're the only ones she can ever trust to open herself unto, and therefore are keeping her sane and nice-mannered despite her traumatic childhood. Take away the animals and friends from her, and the FreudianExcuse takes its toll upon her, and she ends up just like Lucy from ''Manga/ElfenLied''. Maybe not as threatening as [[Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles Pinkamena]] or insane Twilight, but still.

306While Equestria seems to be sugar bowl at first, it's actually a CrapsaccharineWorld that provides tasty entropy-defying Magical Emotional Energy for Incubators to harvest. Besides, Homura keeps sabotaging the HumanResources sector, and when the Incubators found an alternative, more powerful and more cute source of Energy, it was an opportunity for Profit and they can finally start a new campaign of extraction and creation of [[PoweredByAForsakenChild Forsaken Foals]]. Maybe we will forge a {{megacorp}}orate conglomeration with the Incubators to screw the Ponies for all their tears' worth because we're running out of oil while the more "humane" (or perhaps "equane") nuclear power[=/=]solar power[=/=]{{dyson sphere}}s[=/=]dilithium-regulated {{antimatter}} warp cores suck in comparison and will never satisfy our [[NoBloodForPhlebotinum accelerating energy crisis]] (see also: Incubators are real and governments knew it).
307
308The happiness, friendship, magic and harmony generated by Equestria act like wishes, and by the Universal Thermodynamic Law of EquivalentExchange and its partner the Second Thermodynamic Law of accelerating Entropy, fated sooner or later, with additional Incubator manipulation, to generate an equal amount of suffering, BreakTheCutie moments and {{despair|EventHorizon}}. "Hope and despair balance out to zero." It's like how in Goethe's ''Faust'', should the Faust ever reach the highest state of happiness possible he will die and be consigned to eternal damnation in Hell, and how in ''Madoka Magica'', [[spoiler:Mami thinks "It's the first time I've been this happy while fighting" and very shortly afterwards she dies.

Twilight possesses a lot of Magical Potential yet also highly vulnerable to insanity and despair, with how she is a perfectionist who is consumed by desperation if she dares to commit the ThoughtCrime of thinking about failing Celestia ("Lesson Zero", with Twilight's morbid fear of "[[{{Room 101}} Magic Kindergarten]]") or failing her friends. There are, of course, lesser candidates. Rarity shall collapse into a Classic Greek {{Tragedy}} since her {{Fatal Flaw}}s are {{Greed}} (despite her supposed title "Element of Generosity", she still likes a lot of gems and Discord exploits it), [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] (of Fluttershy's beauty and elegance, from the episode "Green Isn't Your Color") a little bit of {{Pride}} (her snobbish behaviour) and [[AmbitionIsEvil Ambition (to be an aristocrat and one of the most famous fashionistas in all of Equestria)]]. The Incubators shall exploit Rainbow Dash's loyalties strained and torn, combined with her recklessness and desire to be with the Wonderbolts, just like what happened to Sayaka. For Pinkamena Diane Pie, once the "Party of One" incident repeats itself or [[Fanfic/BitterSweet she acquires incurable diabetes from her Cupcakes-based diet]], the Incubators will take note. Apple Bloom's desperate purpose in life to obtain a Cutie Mark will be exploited by Incubators and result in horror for the rest of her Apple family once the truth is revealed, just like [[GoMadFromTheRevelation what happened]] to Kyoko's family.
311
312Their loyalties and friendships will be twisted and played by the Incubators like a Stradivarius. Even the Elements of Harmony and their Friendship lessons would [[YouCantFightFate do negligible help to escape from such Tragic fates determined and supported by the higher laws of thermodynamics]]. Unless Madokami decides to return from non-existence and redeem the Ponies from their trauma in an ending reminiscent of Goethe's ''Faust''. But then again, the Incubators' Metaphorically {{Rules Lawyer}}s would point out that when Madokami made that one wish that led to her non-existence/ascension, she only said that "witches" should not exist, and she envisioned of her wish as applying only to witches created from human Puella Magi. Therefore, Madokami will remain behind the scenes, and Homura can't get the Ponies out of being screwed by the Incubators.
313
314Of course, I just wrote this senseless tragedy-for-the-sake-of-tragedy instant-grimdark-just-add-Kyubey WMG because both ''[=MLP:FiM=]'' and the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' remind me of ''Madoka Magica'' so much (for example, in the ''Pony POV Series'', [[spoiler:Nightmare Whisper[=/=]Princess Gaia[=/=]the Nightmare form of Fluttershy is basically Kriemhild Gretchen, the "witch of salvation, whose nature is mercy, and [[AssimilationPlot absorbs any life on the planet]] into her newly created heaven--her barrier"]]), but then again, what do you expect when the [[Creator/LaurenFaust creator of this series]] [[MeaningfulName is named after]] [[Myth/{{Faust}} the legend that popularized the "deal with the devil" genre and inspired]] ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''?
315* Furthermore, [[spoiler:''Princess Celestia is already a Puella Magi in secret'', who once signed a [[DealWiththeDevil contract with the Incubators]] to grant her the power of the three pony races, defeat Discord (a manifestation of Chaos, also known as Entropy, and his Chaotic version of Equestria looks like something straight out of a Witch's labyrinth) and to let Equestria enter an enlightened age of civilization and harmony, with her little Ponies as the dominant sapient species ruling over nature instead of remaining as naked and grazing in grasslands while eaten by predators. After all, the Incubators [[AncientAstronauts offer science, civilization and progress]] to the very species they enslave. Celestia became [[Literature/TheBible Eve to the Incubators' Tree of Knowledge]]. However, now [[WhoWantsToLiveForever despite her immortality and Puella Magi-enabled Alicorn powers, she desperately needs her regular dosages of Friendship lessons]] in order to delay herself from facing the consequences of her wish and mutating into a complete Nightmare Witch irreversibly forever. Oh, and the Elements of Harmony were once Soul Gems (probably from early Puella Magi who sacrificed themselves) or made from those or work like Grief Seeds, possibly to explain their one-time limited ability to purge Princess Luna before her Nightmare Moon grief can become completely irreversible Witchification (Luckily, Celestia put her in stasis on the Moon and gamble on the Elements of Harmony to do that one-time ability before it happens).]]

Especially if the SCP in question requires children, like [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-204 SCP-204]].
354
355This can go either way -- knowing the Foundation, there's nothing ruling out the possibility of [[PeopleFarms systematically raping D-Class to breed babies]] [[TykeBomb and use them for their]] [[ForScience "experiments"]]. Or if there's no use for them, simply selling them to the mobsters they do business with, making a handsome profit on the side.

357[[WMG: ''All'' time travel follows ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' rules, as seen in the episode "The Late Philip J. Fry".]]
358That is, it's all only one-way, forward. So when they go "backwards", they actually go forwards past the Big Crunch into another future reborn universe, and vanish into thin air from their original universe, [[FridgeHorror much to the distress of their family and friends]]. (In other words, in the original timeline of ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'' where Marty first departed to 1955, perhaps to this day (2013) in Hill Valley you can still find "Have You Seen Me?" posters featuring Marty.) And when they arrive into the other universe the original "time clone" who was them in that other universe dies instantly, as per EquivalentExchange.
359* And what of media in which people change the future by going into the past? Perhaps it has something to do with mass conservation of energy (since all universes are remade over and over again from the same material)...but [[MindScrew just trying to wrap your head around it all]] is why this is another Poison Oak Tree.
360* The multiverse concept of time travel is effectively this. Worse, perhaps: if a "you" returned home in your original universe, they would probably be a completely different person, and there would be no way to know. The real you, likewise, might return to find identical copies of their friends and family, but would never be able to prove they aren't the same people and could never see the "originals" again.
361
362[[WMG: WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts (among other WesternAnimation franchises) show what our world would've been like if Neanderthals and other hominids had survived.]]
363As pointed out in ''Film/StandByMe'', Pluto [[FurryConfusion is a dog, but so is Goofy]]. In this universe, some dogs, mice, ducks and cats evolved to a humanlike level, but others remained mostly at the level of "normal" animals. (A normal mouse appears in the Mickey Mouse cartoon ''TheWormTurns'', and normal ducks appeared in the background of a Donald Duck comic strip.) Of course, these animals (especially Pluto) still seem to show signs of sentience, though not on the level of Mickey et al. They could be considered the Classic Disneyverse equivalent of Australopithecines or maybe chimpanzees.
364
365The FridgeHorror comes in when you realize that these animals, despite their near-sentience, are still treated at best as pets in the case of Pluto...and at worst [[CarnivoreConfusion as food]]. For instance, some Donald cartoons make jokes out of roast duck, and ''Golden Eggs'' features Donald gathering eggs guarded by a rooster ''who can speak English''. And in some parts of the world, Pluto might also have ended up on a menu. In other words, despite these animals being their direct ancestors and being on the brink of full interaction with them, they're perfectly happy to enslave or eat them. Is this how we would've treated Neanderthals had they survived?
366* It's even worse in the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes-verse. Here, various animals are undeniably at the same intelligence level as humans...and yet it's perfectly legal for humans to enslave, hunt and eat them, but not for animals to do the same to humans.
367
368[[WMG:Fox and Fara of ''VideoGame/StarFox'' fame are half-siblings.]]
369This explains why Fara supposedly resembles Fox's mother - Vixy did, at one point, cheat on James with an aspiring entrepreneur (likely while he was away for longer than it would take her to deliver). As she could not admit to the child's existence she left her to the care of her father, however built ties to the Phoenix family - explaining, for instance, why Fara was immediately recognised by Fox (he had seen her before) or why he was chosen, out of exile, to test Mr Phoenix's prototype Arwing fighters.\
370Eventually, however, Fox and Fara discovered their family status - likely by a time at which point they already had a more intimate relationship. Disgusted by the unwitting BrotherSisterIncest they agreed to part ways.
371CanonWelding results in this occurence: Fox [=McCloud=] eventually arrives on Sauria, without a girlfriend, and leaves the planet with one that looks highly different from his mother.
372
373[[WMG:''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' was meant to be a critical {{Deconstruction}} of the otaku lifestyle, like ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' before it.]]
374And if you like ''Madoka'', Creator/GenUrobuchi hates you. You may have read [[https://web.archive.org/web/20131214235849/https://chirart.tumblr.com/post/37808402478/evangelion-and-why-hideaki-anno-hates-you this infamous essay]] about Creator/HideakiAnno's intent for making ''Evangelion''. Well, Urobuchi also has the same opinions about otakudom. (Certainly his recent ''Anime/GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet'' outlines what he thinks of NEET and hikikomoris, which he stated right in his intro to the anime.)
375
376With ''Madoka'', Gen didn't just want to retell the story of ''Myth/{{Faust}}'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY with]] [[MagicalGirl magical girls]], he wanted to smack otakus in the face. He showed how how becoming an adolescent superhero would be pretty terrifying when you have to actually fight [[EldritchAbomination Lovecraftian Horrors]] all the time forever. Timid yet good-hearted Madoka is not supposed to actually "be" you, in a sense. She's actually the ideal selfless {{Moe}} MessianicArchetype Goddess we all worship and masturbate on. '''Homura''' [[ThisLoserIsYou is YOU]]; The emotionally stunted monomaniac who's so emotionally dependent upon her pink-haired Moe-ssiah waifu that she'd rather "just run away" back in time from all the suffering around her, rather than accept her new reality, and then covers up her true geeky, incompetent self with a fake badass MarySue air, ala Self-Insert FanFic.
377
378[[spoiler:Also, remember how these moe cuties are actually ''undead'' and had to ''[[ImAHumanitarian feed off each others' souls]]'' to survive? That concept was supposed to be deconstructionist parallel to moe archetype Rei Ayanami's reality; how Anno wanted to point out how a completely submissive girl with absolute zero self-worth ''should'' be [[UnintentionalUncannyValley somewhat creepy]] in real life, not cute. And how Madoka technically [[RetGone doesn't exist anymore]] at the end? That's Urobuchi trying to bring the message home that no, your 2D waifus [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome aren't real]]. Try to find a "3DPD".]]
379
380Of course, like with ''Evangelion'', [[DoNotDoThisCoolThing the impact completely backfired]] and the "[[MemeticMutation Megucas]]" all became moe cultural icons, yielding plenty of kid-and-otaku-friendly merchandise (as well as...less kid-friendly stuff), including some [[MisaimedMarketing rather questionable materials]] (Charlotte inner tubes and Soul Gem bubble bath packs, anyone?). But what really pissed off Gen was how all the suffering became what people ''liked the most'' about the series, like sadistic TorturePorn {{Ryona}} fetishists and {{Tragedy}} fans, as well as people hailing him as "the Prince of DARKNESS" and the like.
381
382So...first he co-wrote ''Anime/GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet''. Reviews have mostly been well below those of ''Madoka'' (in about the 7-8/10 range, with 7 being about the average rating on Website/MyAnimeList, for example). It had a rather cobbled-together, less-than-coherent storyline, which makes sense since five different people actually wrote the episodes besides him. (Gen wrote the first and last episodes and served as "script consultant" for the rest.) [[spoiler:On top of that, its main plot twist was perhaps a bit too similar to that of ''Madoka'' ("The monsters [[WasOnceAMan were PEOPLE!!!]]")]] His reputation on anime sites such as Website/MyAnimeList was nigh-indestructible immediately after ''Madoka''; 2.5 years later, either because of ''Gargantia'' or just because of the time past, his ratings have gone down somewhat.
383
384And as mentioned in that ''Evangelion'' essay, ''End'' (and perhaps ''Evangelion 3.0'') was basically Anno taking the anger over the TV show's somewhat positive ending and him saying, "Oh, you want more emotional torture porn tragedy ryona? I'VE GOT YOUR EMOTIONAL TORTURE PORN TRAGEDY RYONA RIGHT HERE!!!" ''Madoka'' Movie 3 will be Gen saying and doing the same thing. [[spoiler:The whole point of ''Gargantia'''s happy ending was for us to let our guards down and think, "Oh, he's changed. He took up meditation or maybe some happy pills. We don't have to fear his casts being killed off anymore."]] Gen Urobuchi also hates you. Whether improbably uplifting or soul-crushingly depressing, Movie 3 will be destined to generate in at least part of the fanbase the reaction: "How disgusting." And whaddaya know, Gen himself cryptically says that the movie [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Talk:The_Rebellion_Story "may divide the fans"]].

396Those "cubes" in the new world aren't ''nearly'' enough to stop universal entropy, as Kyubey itself hinted. That last scene in the anime, with Homura alone in a desert? That was some 5 billion years from now, with the dying sun about to swallow up the Earth.
397* [[FromBadToWorse It gets better]]. Madoka ''[[GodIsEvil knew]]'' this would happen. After getting a glimpse behind the veil, she got [[BreakTheCutie smashed to dust]] and then [[GoMadFromTheRevelation went mad from the revelation]]. She then came to the conclusion that [[MercyKill it wasn't worth preserving a universe]] that required ''[[PoweredByAForsakenChild this]]'' to keep on ticking.

That accounts for just over seven percent of the entries on this page. A small number, yes, but the numbers are sure to grow with the release of the third movie and a possible second season.[[/note]]
405* And the fact that ''[[Anime/PsychoPass Psycho-Pass]]'' and ''Anime/GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet'' are also getting continuations will only increase the exponents due to awkward creator crossovers. "One link to join it all again", indeed.

Once the roots of the Trees are determined, the time-traveler's mission is this: ensure that they are annihilated. No RuleThirtyFour twisteries of any kind, no constant references to ''Madoka Magica,'' ''FIM,'' etc., nothing to require an infinitely long BrainBleach bath to purge from one's mind...it sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?

It was in this line of work he developed a particular distrust of ugly people due to an encounter with some Garbage Pail Kids. ''This'' is why he reacted to Pterisa with such hatred, because of massive paranoia that sprung from his own experiences with Garbage Pail Kids. It makes perfects sense!

444* After his creative spark was launched at the Darkitect, Rex became trapped in Series/TwinPeaks The Black Lodge. He is currently trapped in the lodge with Spy and Agent Cooper. Unfortunately, he knows that his chances of getting out of the lodge are very slim, as his creative spark is now in the hands of the Man from Another Place.
445* Kotua and Databoard went to The Black Lodge. What? It explains why they simply vanished off the planet without a single trace or even the faintest clue as to what happened. Somehow Kotua and Databoard entered the Black Lodge, and the reason nothing has been heard from them since is because they're still trapped there.
446* [[Toys/RockRaiders Axle]] is trapped in The Black Lodge. We have no idea what happened to him at all. At one point he was a prominent figure in the game and then he vanished.
447* [[Tropers/JohnAlexanderHitchcock The old Atton Rand]] [[OverlyLongGag is trapped in The Black Lodge]]. Clearly, the only reason Tropers/JohnAlexanderHitchcock has been adding so much WMG to this page all centered around [[Series/TwinPeaks an obscure reference that nobody gets]] is because he is actually sending out a plea for help. By drawing enough attention to the Black Lodge, he hopes that someone will investigate and, eventually, discover that the Black Lodge is real. And the old Atton Rand - the silly one, the one who had Zenna as his primary character, the one who was willing to forgo realism in favor of having fun - is actually trapped in the Black Lodge and has been trying to escape. This explains why Atton Rand had such a sudden shift in personality towards the end of the original ''Dino Attack RPG'', since that is thei point where he entered the Black Lodge. Everything since then (including but not limited to Rotor, Trigger, the ''Franchise/StarWars'' hate, the [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Lovecraft]] obsession, and more) has been Atton Rand's attempts at getting our attention so that someone can rescue him, and since we clearly haven't gotten the message, he has had no other choice but to spam this WMG page with constant annoying references to the Black Lodge until we're more sick of it than we were of the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' CaptainErsatz squad, forcing us to investigate and, eventually, rescue him from the Black Lodge.

449[[WMG: [[Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG Sarah Bishop]] was the product of incest]]
450It's a very disturbing subject and casts this character in a more negative light, but it does explain how her father served in World War I and yet she's only in her early forties (putting her earliest likely birthdate at 1970, if her father was in his 20's at the time of the war, this would make him roughly his late sixties or early seventies). One somewhat plausible explanation could involve Roy marrying and having another daughter at a more reasonable age, possibly somewhere in the 1920's or 30's. At some later point around 1970, he began to lose his mind and ended up sexually assaulting his own daughter, who became pregnant and gave birth to Sarah and Wallace Bishop (or alternately, Wallace Bishop was her son ''before'' this incident). However, wanting to preserve some dignity she never actually told her children this. It might also explain some of Sarah Bishop's mental issues.
451
452[[WMG: [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]] never existed.]]
453No, not in [[RetGone that way]]. Madoka never existed at all outside of Homura's head. She was just the imaginary friend, the ideal {{Moe}} MessianicArchetype, of a MagicalGirl fan who, despite being beautiful and intelligent, was a ShrinkingViolet who suffered from severe Clinical Depression, [[BreakTheCutie bullied, teased and ostracised by her classmates as a pathetic nerd, while resented, abused and humbled by her own parents for being such a pathetic failure]] who did not conform to their ideals of "perfection". Because of her depression, she found escape in the {{Moe}} and MagicalGirl genres, where she found most of her ideals of the Moe MessianicArchetype that she so desperately needed in order to have a reason to live. This Moe Archetype would be constructed into her mind as the entity, Madoka. In her tears, she broke down into herself, imagining a world where she can control time itself like {{God}} can, while worshipping her imaginary friend, Madoka, as her one and only Moe-ssiah in such a CrapsackWorld.
454
455Finally, ([[http://www.donmai.us/posts/1001653?pool_id=4220 inspired by this doujin]]), Homura made a doll of Madoka (The doll who would soon be Charlotte). She always brought her doll of Madoka with her, as it was her only console in life to be able to smile. However, her oppressors took notice, and snatched the Madoka doll away from her. She begged to do anything just to have her precious Madoka back, but, bullies being bullies, tore it apart. Like Lucy from Manga/ElfenLied, this ultimately provoked her from being a ShrinkingViolet into a violent attempt to get back against them, but they eventually subdued her, and the AlphaBitch in charge ordered them to "[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil teach her a lesson]]". Utterly and completely humilated in front of everybody else, the crying Homura attempted suicide numerous times, but there was always a soothing voice that was stopping her from doing so. The voice, Homura thought, was that of Madoka.
456
457This finally completed her descent into delusion and schizophrenia, obsessed with what she saw as her one and only Messiah, Madoka. Her three friends, Mami, Kyoko and Sayaka, at first tried to reach out and provide support, but when her interactions with them grew more and more erratic, delusional and violent, they eventually started moving away from her, and she in turn grew colder towards them. After she became murderously violent towards school staff and everybody else, claiming she wanted to keep "Madoka" safe, she was eventually placed in a [[BedlamHouse state asylum]]. Junko and Tomohisa are her two main attending physicians (as a single working mother, Junko occasionally has to bring along her toddler son), and Kyubey is her psychiatrist.
458
459Her teachers back in her former school lament her loss, especially since, despite her erratic behavior, she had a high intelligence and seemed to be showing much aptitude as an artist, creating elaborate [[Creator/AndyWarhol Warholesque]] collage pastiches. While most institutions encourage their charges to express themselves through arts and crafts, all access to art supplies have unfortunately been denied to Homura, as several of her pictures feature her violently torturing and murdering "Kyubey".
460
461And for the records, "Madoka"'s image was inspired by the classic magical girl ''Anime/MagicalPrincessMinkyMomo'', possibly including [[spoiler:Momo's tragic death]].

Also, his song Jordan was used in VideoGame/GuitarHero in 2006 but the song actually released in Praxis as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u9JSq5fJ-A Vertebrae]] in 2004! Which means he went back in time two years to remake the song to release for VideoGame/GuitarHero. Plus, how can one man pick and finger that fast? 15.42 notes per second? It's obvious he's slowing down time to make it seem like he's picking that fast. And his side project, Death Cube K, is obviously just noises he took from the ambience of space! So that proves it because of reasons.

489[[WMG: The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' is gradually running out of magic and becoming a dull, boring, prosaic planet just like ours]]
490* Creator/TerryPratchett is charting the history of a planet that used to run solely on magic. In the beginning there was a vast surfeit of it and nobody thought it was ever going to run out. But just as Earth is running low on oil, the Disc is running out of easily harvested magic. This is kept as a closely-guarded secret by a select few - Vetinari, the Wizards, Margolotta, the Diamond King. But as magical power ebbs, the Wizards are slowly, surely, with little fuss, becoming men of science. (Ponder Stibbons is more technocrat than mage). The Disc is now a place running on steampunk science. Witness the Clacks taking the place of scrying, and the birth of steam railways with nothing overtly magical about them. Dwarf "devices" appear to be things of advanced if lost science, rather than magic. Are we being set up for a time when the magic goes completely? Where dwarves become nothing more than short humans, vampires become merely easily sunburnt humans with prominent teeth, trolls mutate into professional rugby players, and golems become mechanical robots.... the trend across the course of the novels points to something like this; it might alternatively explain why the latest ''{{Literature/Discworld}}'' novels are less satisfying reads than earlier ones.

510This is because we chose not to participate in Wizardry, at the price of [[{{Satan}} The Lone Power]] getting influence of our timeline, eventually getting to control us entirely.
511[[FridgeHorror So, what's going to happen to all those nukes the US still owns?]] %%Please read the Literature/YoungWizards series. We've got too small a fandom
512* Alternately, we didn't accept the Choice because of the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Incubators]]' influence. They knew that the only [[Creator/IsaacAsimov truly meaningful answer]] to the question of entropy involves sending children into spirals of despair, which clashes horribly with the MO of wizardry, and so they warned proto-humanity not to accept gifts from the Powers - ''any'' of the Powers, up to and including the Lone One. Earth isn't just ''[[TheMasquerade sevarfrith]]'', it's ''[[VillainWorld aresh-hav]]'' - except that, because it's got both magical and alien protectors, the Lone One isn't about to go near it, either.

Obviously not a bad thing FOR the asexuals, but a lot of other people of other sexual orientations (e.g. 99% of the human race) will get really mad about it. The Asexuals will eventually get fed up with how mad everyone is about their godly powers and their SexIsEvil ideology, and initiate the Apocalypse, sending all those guilty of sex-crime to eternal punishment by daemon rape in Hell.

602She's actually a sociopath. Think about it, she manipulates others by saying what they want her to say and doing what they want her to do, but in the main timeline, she never really seems to show very strong empathy towards anyone. Other people fight and she does nothing. She knows what words to say to make people THINK she's a kind person, but that's not the same as actually being one. Her mom comments on how she does everything the safe and socially acceptable way - maybe she's afraid people will see her for who she really is, like the protagonist in No Longer Human? Or maybe she's not a sociopath per se, but 1) does not return Homura's affections, seeing Homura as a creepy stalker and 2) made her wish because she knew that the way things were set up, that kind of wish would give her the greatest imaginable cosmic power. All she ever wanted to be, as it turns out, was as powerful as a God. She's not helping girls not become witches out of compassion; she's stealing their souls and the power contained therein and grabbing that power for herself. She gets stronger for each one. It's sort of like she took a war that was being fought with swords and armor and became a nuclear bomb that dropped over everyone fighting. Or she's like a factory farm vs. Kyubey's system which was more like a set of small organic ma and pa farms. She didn't END Kyubey's system, in other words. She took over.Also, her sociopathy could have resulted from Homura meddling with time, perhaps as a result of making time travel clones over and over again, each successive Madoka becomes less compassionate, perhaps tainted by Homura's increasing despair?

Since at that age most people don't know how to properly raise babies of their own species, never mind one which could eat them, it's no wonder he turned out warped. Mattimeo was born less than four seasons after his thirteen-season-old parents married, and even with a mouse pregnancy length of three weeks that's a bit young; not only was he spoilt rotten by the beginning of his book, he was saddled with that name.

654[[WMG: The Woodlanders of ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' ARE in a Religion. ]]
655A horrible Xenophobic religion!
656
657Stoat eats birds? HE'S EVIL! Rat is farming peacefully? HE KILLED THE POOR BEAST IN CHARGE OF THE FARM! Fox fishing peacefully? [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking SHE IS DOING IT EVILLY! ]]
658
659Martin was highly racist about "Vermin" because he was 'enslaved' by the bad kind of fox, and he had bad luck and ran into another "Vermin" who he instantly said was evil due to childhood traumatic experience, killed him,and made up a lie to justify the means. He was EVIL. Evil! that's all he had to say! "He was attacking an innocent mouse! what else was I to do then to slay him?"
660
661He came across a Wild cat who was simply playing a "game" of King of the Hill with a castle with a group of woodlanders, fed them LIES about the Wild cat to, again, justify why he must kill her. Using his mastery of speech, which he excelled in after a 'crusade against evil' spree of lies and hatred, he then got his ass handed to him only to survive because of the plot or by whatever deity is sponsoring him.
662
663The stories are all LIES told by the main character, who was told MORE lies to by the Abbey-Beast to fuel the vicious cycle of hatred in Martin's happy little Abbey!
664
665In Veil's case, he was the son of a "Vermin" and therefore treated like crap and probably not fed or taken care of properly; therefore, he 'Stole' food and played 'tricks', which were not [[ForTheEvulz for the Evulz]] but for attention. He is dying; he NEEDS food, water, and friends. In the end, he did something that a beast other than woodlanders from around the Abbey saw, so they could not change that tidbit in the story; instead, they twist and turn the words and actions of the poor little guy to make him seen as people have said 'Horrid little bastard' so if somebeast from that area reads it, they will assume its the 'Real' Story and thus spread the facts. Even though grandpa and Nana were there and they are still alive to tell the tale that they saw him do something for the greater good, they lied just for a good story and Veil was a 'Horrid little bastard'.
666
667Look at other "Vermin" in the story: the odds, the unbelievable feats against them in favor of the good guys, they are IMPOSSIBLE!
668
669
670This is to embellish the views of the Cult and spread the glorious word of Martin! and you fell for it, [[UnwittingPawn hook, line and sinker. ]]
671
672So, who will you be cheering for? [[ParanoiaFuel The good guys, or the 'Vermin'?]]
673
674* Um... do keep in mind, that Woodlanders fear and judge vermin for a reason. Namely because they DO do evil things. Throughout the series Vermin kill and enslave whenever they can sometimes just for the heck of it, and for fun. That is "unjust prejudice?" I admit you can't judge all vermin, but Woodlanders don't take any chances, so vermin have to earn their trust before obtaining their friendship, which has happened a few times.
675** I think the original poster means, it's a "Hobbit" kind of writing. In the original ''Literature/TheHobbit'', the Gollum scene was later retconned to be Bilbo retelling the scene to make himself look better. (Because Tolkien realized when writing ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' it contradicted Gollum's character) The original poster is trying to say that, the books are from [[UnreliableNarrator Martin's]] point of view. Though I don't know if s/he is actually being serious or not.
676
677[[WMG: Going along with the "all the ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' Woodlanders are in a xenophobic religion" theory, we see the series from the woodlanders' eyes]]
678If you were to go along with that trope, that would make the abbey recorders [[UnreliableNarrator very unreliable narrators]]. In addition, this explains why [[KarmaHoudini most of our "heroes" get away with committing what are essentially unintentional hate crimes]].

680[[WMG: Most Platform/GoAnimate[=/=]Website/{{Plotagon}} grounded videos take place in a universe where the concept of society either collapsed or is on the brink of collapse.]]
681
682Most of the videos hint at the possibility that society has descended into a chaotic, MightMakesRight [[CrapsackWorld shithole]].
683
684First, let's talk about the educational system: In quite a few videos, characters might be speaking in broken English, with stuff like "This is only place I can found". Some other videos show the troublemakers being expelled for things like getting a math question wrong or coming last in a swimming race, while other videos have random students get yelled at for a wrong answer to a math question. Therefore, the Doylist explanation for this is the user's light grasp on the language, but the Watsonian explanation must be that the entire society is illiterate.
685
686Now, let's get to the point where we address the elephant in the room: Are you a good guy? You can do no wrong, and you're even justified in executing people if they're "bad" enough. Are you a known troublemaker (Macusoper, Warren Cook, Alvin Hung) or a "baby show" character of any kind? You deserve punishment for just about anything, up to and including your name. Plotagon even allows the video maker to include physical violence, which can lead to things like being slapped raw for doubting your parents. Other cases include a MortonsFork where the troublemakers can be grounded no matter what they do, so it's no wonder they solve all their problems with violence; it is all they have ever known.
687* Don't forget Gacha Life videos!

698[[WMG: The horrible truth of ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'''s Earth.]]
699Ghosts are given the power and duty to sow misery and fear, and their numbers seem to consist of every historical figure regardless of time period and religious affiliation. Logically, but absolutely terrifyingly, that would imply Hitler, Himmler, Mengele, Mussolini, Tojo, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hussein, bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il, Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmers, Ted Bundy, Caligula, Nero, Attila, and many more are not burning in eternal damnation like we've hoped but are rather given free reign, without any limitations of being bound to a mortal flesh-and-bone body, to do what they did best in life: make people miserable (to put it ''very'' lightly). Meanwhile, ghosts who ''don't'' spread enough misery are condemned to the Flow of Failed Phantoms. This implies Mr. Rogers, Gandhi, and Mother Teresa are screaming in the Flow. In other words, you spend your whole life being a good person, hoping for an eternal reward, and then when you die, you're given the job of scaring and tormenting people under the threat of eternal screaming. However, now that Molly and Scratch demolished the Flow and deposed the Council and Chairman, spiritual justice can be restored, but that doesn't change what happened.
700* Original poster's addendum: According to Season 2, it's revealed that ghosts who were ''too'' violent were condemned to the Flow as well, so it's entirely plausible all of the above were punished posthumously after all. However, the horror still stands, since the Season 1 ending means Molly and Scratch [[NiceJobBreakingItHero just set them all free]].

712She is one of the most human-looking monsters, she never mentions her parents in the story and, in a similar vein to Sans and Papyrus, you can't find any monster who looks like her[[labelnote:Examples]]Asgore and Toriel both seem to be of noble descent, the Snowdin Town librarian shares similarities with Alphys, and Mettaton is actually a ghost[[/labelnote]]. One can easily imagine the last human before Frisk (the yellow soul with the cowboy hat and the gun) actually integrated themself with monster kind (some of them, like the Snowdin shopkeeper, actually think the player character is just another species of monsters), actually lived a [[InterspeciesRomance "romance"]] with some kind of fishlike monster (which resulted in Undyne's birth), and that both decided to leave the baby to an orphanage or to another family. After their death (maybe suicide, to make sure their daughter doesn't learn her origins in any way), this human was buried under the flowers in Waterfall's garbage dump, their soul was conserved after their death and the yellow soul coffin actually hides a fake body in it to preserve the secret.
713
714[[WMG:[[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} James]] is a [[LivingToys stuffed bunny brought to life]] by [[{{Tulpa}} D.W.'s imagination]].]]
715* He was once just an ordinary stuffed bunny that belonged to D.W. until her imagination brought him to life, in the same vein that Bud's imagination brings his toy dinosaur, Rapty, to life as a life-sized dinosaur. As for why Molly sees him as her brother, well, it's because D.W. imagined him that way; a boy she has a crush on who also happens to be the brother of Molly, thus giving her a chance to [[CommonalityConnection connect with another one of Arthur's tormentors]] through him. {{Imaginary Friend}}s in this series are shown to have RealityWarper powers, so it wouldn't be hard at all for him to make himself actually related to Molly.
716** Pieces of evidence for this theory include:
717*** James has BlackBeadEyes even when he's not wearing his glasses (as shown in "Night of the Tibble"), which is definitely a very stuffed animal-esque feature. Also, in that same episode, Timmy Tibble actually [[ItMakesSenseInContext "mistakes" him for a stuffed animal]].
718*** In "[[Recap/ArthurS8E9FleaToBeYouAndMeKissAndTell Kiss and Tell]]", D.W. seems to think of James as her "prince". For a little girl going through her PrincessPhase, it is only natural that she would use her toys to act out PrinceCharming fantasies. James may have been the toy she cast in the role of PrinceCharming. Also, in "[[Recap/ArthurS14E2TheAgentOfChangeDWUntiesTheKnot D.W. Unties the Knot]]", D.W. chooses James as the groom for her dream wedding "it should be someone who's good at doing what I tell him." It only makes sense that James's submissive personality is so perfect for D.W., because he was literally made for her, ''by'' her.
719*** James has very few roles in the show that don't also involve Molly and/or D.W. in some way, which would make sense if you assume his entire reason for being alive is, literally, his connection to those two.

721[[WMG:The {{God}} of the ''Franchise/DespicableMe'' universe [[GodIsEvil is evil]].]]

One thing you probably noticed about ''Sonic 2'' and ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' is that the former's endgame and the latter's whole plot revolve around the Death Egg, Eggman's big and round satellite which is supposed to conquer the world in whatever way. At this point, you are wondering: "What is the connection between Little Planet and the Death Egg?" That's simple: ''Sonic CD'' revolves around time travel, and so around alternate timelines, right? The hypothesis is that the second and third games happen after the bad ending, where after Eggman roboticized Little Planet, Sonic failed to save it, and after it finished to decay, the giant talking egg built his base on its ruins and used its core as an infinite source of energy, giving the Death Egg.

What happened afterwards is that Jesse bled to death and Ed, not wanting to attract police attention, drove Jesse's body into the desert and buried him. The ending of the film (him making it to Alaska) was just a DyingDream and a metaphor for him crossing into the afterlife. At least he is finally reunited with his two-woman goth and milf harem. Rest in power, Cap'n Cook.
733
734[[WMG: [[Franchise/DespicableMe Gru]] went through in-universe VillainDecay.]]
735After all, the Minions work for the most despicable person around, and they've served Gru since the late sixties. This means that Gru did ''something'' even more monstrous than the Cambodian genocide (especially horrifying, since Gru would have been a kid during the Khmer Rouge's regime) or 9/11 if the Minions didn't leave him to work for Pol Pot and Osama bin Laden respectively. Yet by the time of the first movie, Gru has fallen to petty acts of villainy.
736
737[[WMG: The Minions also went through VillainDecay.]]
738Sure, it's made clear that they could not have served Hitler (though "could not" doesn't mean "would not") by virtue of being forced into hiding by Napoleon's army, but there were plenty of despicable people before Napoleon, who also got into some pretty depraved stuff. They helped Nero torture and execute Christians. They sacked and slaughtered cities for Attila the Hun. They helped execute 2,000 Muslims at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_at_Ayyadieh Ayyadieh]]. All while speaking in their gibberish and getting into slapstick, which may actually make them even more disturbing.
739** Unlike Gru, it's been established that the minions were ''never'' very competent, and that they usually killed off the villains they worked for as a result. It's still pretty disturbing that they would have been completely willing to help all these people, though.
740
741[[WMG: Mario (yes, ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros the Mario]]'') is [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Talon]]'s EscapistCharacter.]]
742This depressing theory needs walls of explanation.
743* First, what do we know about Talon? He's a farmer who owns a horse ranch and a Cucco farm where he lives with his daughter Malon and his farmhand Ingo, he looks a lot like video games' most recognizable character, and his medal looks like [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosBowser a famous turtle monster]] for some reason. While this can be thought as a cameo, some have another interpretation. Talon is often surprised sleeping around Hyrule Castle or in the Cuccos' barn, and after he's fired from his ranch, he never stops sleeping until you find the blue Cucco.
744* Second, what is the ''Mario'' franchise? A ConstructedWorld with fantasy creatures which revolves around a tiny and chubby man (and his slightly taller and skinnier brother) saving a pretty princess from a turtle monster who constantly finds a way to kidnap her.
745* What are the common points between the two? That's simple: Talon raises his daughter alone and gives contradictory explanations about his wife, seeing her either in a Gerudo or a Goron face. He seems to see her everywhere not because he's stupid, but because he's struggling with depression after becoming a widower: this is the reason why he's sleeping a lot, and in his dreams, he created an escape world where he's a near-perfect hero (explaining why Mario is a VanillaProtagonist) and where he constantly saves his wife (Peach) from a monster (Bowser) who always finds a new way to get her: no matter how many times he saves the Princess, she's kidnnapped again because any attempt to cheat death is an illusion.
746** Another important point is Luigi, or rather Ingo: Talon knows that his farmhand is [[HypercompetentSidekick the one who holds the ranch on his shoulders]], but he also doesn't want to lose it. This is the reason why Luigi is stronger than Mario in the games, but also more insecure; Talon is reassuring himself by imagining his worker as stronger, but also more insecure than he is in this dreamworld. When he meets Link, he tends to mix Luigi!Ingo with the fairy boy as a potential heir for his ranch and [[ShipperOnDeck a possible suitor for his daughter Malon]], who takes the appearance of spin-off Princess Daisy (the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand'' one being another interpretation of his deceased wife instead), and he gives Ingo the "role" of Waluigi instead.
747
748[[WMG: [[Series/BreakingBad Jesse]] was willingly working for the neo-Nazis.]]
749Todd has to be the greatest boss of all time. Instead of killing him like Jesse's bastard partner Walter White wanted him too, he not only gives Jesse a job making meth, but he provides Jesse room and board, gives him complimentary showers, free ice cream and pizza for doing a good job, and even a company gym! One night while Jesse went on one of his nightly jogs, he ran into Jack and his gang and asked them to kill Andrea because she was getting in the way of his meth business. When Todd shot her, Jesse was crying tears of joy that he could finally cook meth unimpeded. Jesse grew a beard because he wanted to try out a new look, and he looks unkept in "Felina" because Todd got Jesse into anime, which turned him into a hardcore weeaboo and he quit showering. The reason Jesse strangled Todd in the finale was because [[EleventhHourSuperPower Walt developed bullshit psychic abilities during his time in New Hampshire]] and mind-controlled Jesse into killing Todd for him. Jesse refusing to kill Walt was him overcoming Walt's mind control. Jesse was laughing as he drove away because he was trying to remember a funny scene from one of his animes to cheer himself up, only to remember that Walt just got done destroying the multi-million dollar meth empire that Todd and Uncle Jack helped him build up. Nice going, Walt.
750* In addition, ''El Camino'' was a DyingDream Walt had imagining what happened to Jesse after he left the compound. What really happened afterwards was that Jesse killed Walt's family in retaliation for destroying his meth empire, fled to Mexico to take over the cartel ([[Recap/BetterCallSaulS6E11BreakingBad adiós, dopehead]]), and sell poorly bootlegged anime [=DVDs=] on the side to honor the memory of his fallen [[DepartmentOFRedundancyDepartment best BFF forever]] Todd.

He also claims that he and Kris want "HOTSINGLE" and that one of the perks of freedom is "SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING, A LITTLE [Hyperlink Blocked]". Hyperlink Blocked could stand for Choices, but it could also stand for LOVE, (which fits with Spamton's SlutShaming of Noelle on the Weird Route, claiming she and Kris were making [Hyperlink Blocked]), which means that Spamton says that while free, you can have morning sex. When saying this, Spamton does a grasping gesture with his arms out, which looks like… something, alright. This also fits with Spamton being an ex-celebrity. In fictionland, rich, popular guys will often have a lot of {{Ms Fanservice}}s at their service. When he went from RichesToRags, he lost all of it.

765Where does Tasque Manager fit into this? Well, even ignoring her, uh, ''design'', Spamton NEO's attacks have the same ID as Tasque Manager's, and the Mannequin reduces damage from both Spamton and Tasque Manager, which implies that they have some history with eachother. Adding that with the thing mentioned above, it seems like there may have been some benefits in their relationship.

767Yes, this was pretty cursed. LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain.

769[[WMG:Spamton's plan all along was ''power''.]]
770If you have sympathy for Spamton, I won't have any here. This theory can be considered a [[WMG/PoisonOakEpilepticTrees Poison Oak Epileptic Tree]].

772When you defeat Spamton violently in a Normal Route or after having aborted a Weird Route, he will mention the [=ThornRing=], either telling Kris that he could have sold them this item earlier in the former situation, or sold a second one in the latter.
773
774In the Normal Route, Spamton claims he wants freedom, but this word can have many definitions depending on the person you're asking: freedom of movement for someone who was locked away their whole life or the abolition of oppressive structures are two definitions among many others. But for a character like Spamton, who knows that the world he lives in is a game, but who's too frustrated to think outside the box, "freedom" can also mean "power".
775
776In the Weird Route, where Kris is under the SOUL's control and Noelle becomes their weapon, Spamton has nothing to fear and can concrete his plan. In the Normal Route, however, Spamton knows Kris is not powerful enough to set chaos in Cyber World, so he takes a more sneaky approach by exploiting their fear of becoming the puppet of the SOUL, and by ensuring himself that Susie and Ralsei are not there, as they could call Kris out of his scam. His desire to steal the SOUL is not only to have an infinte source of energy, but also to cheat death and find the better approach against Queen and her forces to conquer Cyber World and take his revenge.
777
778The goal is not to say that Spamton doesn't have real issues nor that his desire to become NEO is to recover some mental health, but I think that his speech about freedom is mostly an act where, as any good salesman, he has to be convincing anytime he's watched. His defeat in the Normal Route may be the realization that he's really weak, and so that his dream of becoming a [BIG SHOT!] is dead, so he prefers to "leave" with dignity.

780[[WMG:[[VideoGame/SonicSuperstars Trip the Sungazer]] is [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom Sticks the Badger]]'s classic form.]]
781Do you remember Sticks the Badger from WesternAnimation/SonicBoom? You know, the WildChild ConspiracyTheorist the main characters [[RememberTheNewGuy introduced like she was always part of the main cast]]? She used to be known as Trip the Sungazer, a child who grew up as the only sapient animal on an isolated island, who was ForcedIntoEvil by the first people she met, became friends with Amy [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe because she was the first person to show her kindness]], and ended up going on the good guys' side.
782
783However, as she grew up and saw the world around her becoming bitter and crazier, she snapped and became a loon known as Sticks who (because of her contentious with Fang and Eggman) sees secrets shenanigans everywhere, and whose only contact with reality is her friends (especially Amy). [[FridgeLogic Don't ask me how she went from reptilian to mammal though.]]
