History PlayingWith / TimeStandsStill

** It turns out that everyone else [[AndIMustScream is still conscious while time is stopped...]]and Alice doesn't discover this until she stops time for several years, and starts it again to find that everyone else in the world has gone completely insane.

** [[TimeFreezeTrollingSpree Alice using her time-stopping abilities to run naked through the streets, turn everyone's clothes backwards as they wear them, have Bob feel-up Charlie's ass and strip the AlphaBitch naked in front of the school.]]

** [[TimeFreezeTrollingSpree Alice using her time-stopping abilities to run naked through the streets, turn everyone's clothes backwards as they wear them, have Bob feel-up Charlie's ass and mess up the Alpha Bitch's make-up.]]

* '''Parodied''': Alice gets this power [[CaffeineBulletTime from her coffee.]]

* '''Straight''': Alice snaps her fingers, and time halts around her for a few hours.

* '''Downplayed''': Alice can slow down time to a degree for a short while.

* '''Subverted''': After Alice snaps her fingers, everyone holds still for a moment, before revealing that time hadn't really stopped.

** Alice's ability to stop time suddenly stops working in the middle of one instance of Alice using it. Instead of time resuming, however, it stays frozen no matter how long Alice waits, possibly leaving [[ApocalypseHow everything frozen forever... [[AndIMustScream except for Alice]].

%%* '''Implied''': ???

** Repeated use of time-stopping results in Rapid Aging, as Alice is effectively a year older in relative time due to all the time-stopping she's done.

* '''Exploited''': [[MundaneUtility Alice uses her time-stopping abilities to finish her homework in class before she has to submit it to avoid detention as punishment.]]

'''Basic Trope''': Time stops moving for everyone, but a character. (or a limited group of characters)

* '''Exaggerated''': Time stays stopped for months or years.

** Alice is some form of god. Her powers can defy the laws of physics or reality.
** Alice is a TimeMaster, it would be weirder if she couldn't do this.
** Alice has some technological means of creating time dilation via warping spacetime.

* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Alice does not possess any time stopping abilities whatsoever.
* '''Enforced''': The author thinks the ability to stop time is cool, so the author decided to give the ability to one of the characters, in this case Alice.

* '''Invoked''': Alices does massive amounts of research to determine how time stopping is possible.
* '''Exploited''': Alice uses her time stopping abilities to finish her homework in class before she has to hand it in in order to avoid detention as punishment.
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': Turns out Alice doesn't have the RequiredSecondaryPowers, and is rendered [[AndIMustScream blind, deaf, anosmic, and entirely unable to move]] until [[JoJosBizarreAdventureAbridged Time Continues]].
** Repeated use of time-stopping results in Rapid Aging, as Alice is effectively a year older in relative time due to all the time-stopping she's done.
