Cloning Blues has been renamed to Clone Angst and redefined to only be about people angsting about discovering they're a clone. Removing for not fitting the definition.

* TimeyWimeyBall - The later chapters feature heavy amounts of TimeTravel, and Marrissa (the author) frequently gets mixed up on whether or not they're still in the past leading to some incredibly big [[PlotHole plot holes]], such as Wheatley dying, so she goes back in time to before she met Wheatley and brings him to the present only to forget its the past Wheatley so he inexplicably remembers things that in his timeline have not happened yet.
** More beautifully explained with this quote: [[spoiler:For those not getting it, this thought in the past is impossible because, since Facebook isn't "invented" yet, no one in the past would know about it.]]
--->'''Evil Heavy:''' We shold right a mean things on her facebook page!
--->'''Evil Medic:''' No you idot this is the past facebook isnt invented yet!
*** They do, however, have a Website/MySpace.
---->(AN: THATS FASEBOOK FROM THE PAST BEFOUR FACEBOOK WAS INVENTED)
** Also, Marrissa and other characters are very careful not to mess up the "time streem", but do anyway: if Marrissa took Wheatley from the past she couldn't have met him in the future, because he simply wouldn't have been there.
** Even more weirdly, Wheatley is shown to have affection to Marrissa before even ''meeting her''.

Additionally, various characters are very careful not to mess worry about messing up the "time streem", but do anyway: if Marrissa took Marissa bringing the past Wheatley from forward in time should have messed it up via that Wheatley not being present to meet her for the first time (from her perspective) later on. Further muddling things, the past she couldn't have met him in the future, because he simply wouldn't have been there.
** Even more weirdly,
Wheatley is shown to have shows affection to for Marrissa before even ''meeting her''.

Trope has been renamed to Boob Based Gag. Removing for not fitting the definiton.


* GagBoobs - At one point, due to a typo, Marrissa's fall was broken not by her lung fall boots, but by her "long boobs".
** Also her "big squishy chest" is able to hold Wheatley, a fairly large metal ball, inside itself.

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters - While the story doesn't have too many characters, compared to Portal, which had only two (three if you count [[TheUnseen Doug Rattmann]]) this trope applies.
** Even in comparison to VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}, Marissa's story had a good deal more characters than canon.
