History Fanfic / ThoseLackingSpines

*** Zexy-poo parodies [[Creator/ChrisCrocker LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE]] once.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Too many times to count.

* InMediasRes: Chapter 10 starts this way, goes back, and ends the chapter at the same time where it originally started.

* TheJoyOfX: Final Bossing For Fun and Profit
** Also, "Toadying For the Final Boss For Fun and Profit"

** And they rip each other apart while arguing over character name pronunciations or [[SpellMyNameWithAnS whether or not the name is]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aeris or Aerith]], or even Vincent or Binsento.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Invoked to get a horde of {{Otaku}} Gutless to tear each other apart over whether to use Aeris or Aerith (or Vincent[=/=][[GratuitousJapanese Binsento]]).

* {{Flanderization}}: Each of the Semes is based on a common badfic depiction of the Organization XIII members taken up to eleven. Aku-chan and Xiggy-kun abuse their Catchphrases], with Xiggy-kun becoming a literal SurferDude; Marly-Dono is ''ridiculously'' feminine, and obsessed with flowers to the point of having a [[SexualEuphemism private moment]] with a video of a bee pollinating a flower; Demykins is a PsychopathicManchild {{Cloudcuckoolander}}; Zexy-poo is an EmoTeen; Secks is a literal [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] (at least, a LittleBitBeastly variation, because [[SarcasmMode God forbid he be unpretty]]); and Mansex...well, he lives up to the unfortunate anagram. In addition, each one is a PrettyBoy, and all of them are gay thanks to the [[YaoiFangirl Grand Master Fangirl]]. The only ones who are different to their usual interpretations are Homie X Luxory, who adds being a pimp to Luxord's gambling portrayal, and Vexen himself, who is portrayed as an ultra-white cowboy. This becomes a plot point, because the real Vexen is able to verify his identity by pointing out that his fanfic portrayals are absolutely nothing like that one.

*** In the first world, Xigbar is a TotallyRadical SurferDude, Axel is a slick snarker [[CatchPhrase who says "Got it memorized?" after every line of dialogue.]]

*** Inept Crossings is chock-full of these, as it is a world of crossovers.
