Ok, try to think of something. Now prove that you though it at that moment. You can't. No matter what you try to do, it can be explained without you thinking about it. Memories of thinking? Delusions made by by you head to explain why you did that thing next.You can't prove that you had a thought.
- Even worse, if Absolute Xenophobe aliens come to earth and claim that we're not sentient, (We can think about our thinking) we can't prove we are. "Think" about that
Of course, the Incubators only gave most of us civilization-building, basic sciences and a hive hierarchy, keeping their best technologies for themselves and the ruling elite of humanity, because if our Slave Race of Cute Girls shared with the Incubator tech then there would be no more despair to go around, and therefore the energy system will collapse. In the ruthlessly utilitarian ethics of the Incubators and the World Governments, a few cute girls need to suffer if Humanity is to prosper. The ancients, who never understood it all, interpreted the Incubators and their technology as gods and magic, and the energy trade as "virgin sacrifice".
To add to the Fridge Horror, the reason why we are having an energy crisis is because of growing Human Rights and Democracy, which will break the Masquerade and prevent more and more cute girls from suffering as Puella Magi. First-world superpowers such as America, despite their 1% megacorporations having more wealth than the entire population of Earth, also have this secret reason to explain why they do not really bother to help third-world countries and simply ignore the rampant human trafficking of children in those countries.
- And all those shows encouraging little girls to trust such aliens and become Magical Girls is all part of the intergalactic human trafficking scam. The Governments let Gen Urobuchi tell his story in the metaphor of Madoka, because they know that the general populace will just dismiss Magical Girl stories as fictional.
G La DOS was, after all, created in a via Brain Uploading, and she is most certainly rampant.
Now we just have to see how the destructive phase plays out. Based on his current behaviour, feelings of self-hatred and sexual overindulgence to sooth the emotional pain is the most plausible result.
- That can't be true! You're WRONG!!!
- But what of Corinth?
- Athens? GoooooOOOOOO DAWGS! Sic 'em! Woof woof woof woof!
- Truth in Television: the dominant Western culture from the Roman empire to America was basically born from Athens (especially Democracy). Except for the homosexuality part, of course.
- Athens, huh? NO!
- No, it's Chinatown.
- The Master is ALREADY HERE
- Jossed
note
- Now, I know the default explanation is Rule of Funny: It's a Japanese prank, so by using it Kakashi shows that he's really not taking the fight seriously. But I think there's more to it than that.
- He created it to counter the Sexy Jutsu. It wasn't meant to go up Naruto's ass...U
- There's more to it, though. I don't think Kakashi is a rapist; more likely, he wanted to teach Naruto a lesson. So Kakashi hears about the Sexy Jutsu, and realizes the potential horrific backfire if Naruto tries to use it against someone who won't resist. He decides to show Naruto just why the Sexy Jutsu isn't a good idea. Kakashi reading Make-Out Paradise isn't just to show that he wasn't taking the fight seriously, or to suggest that he's a Covert Pervert; it was actually a failed Batman Gambit. Kakashi hoped that if Naruto saw him as a pervert, he'd use the Sexy Jutsu to try and wheedle a bell off him, setting up Kakashi's painful Aesop. Naruto proves Too Dumb to Fool and misses the deliberate hint, so Kakashi just uses the move anyway, possibly hoping to get Naruto thinking of the implicaitons anyway. And if you say Kakashi wouldn't go that far? He was willing to put a knife to Sasuke's throat to make a point. His attempt to show Naruto how badly the Sexy Jutsu could backfire would go into the same boat.
- Yeah, don't think about that one too hard.
- Congratulations, it is a draconequus.
- Congratulations, it is...Discord?
- In Japanese mythology, a Dragon / Horse hybrid is called a Kirin.
- Congratulations, it is a draconequus.
- Pfft! You both are wrong - Pinkie Pie is the one who will make Twilight pregnant. And they will have awesome crazy babies.
- Nononononononononononononono!!!!!! SHE'S TOO NICE! THE ROMANCE IS TOO CUTE! SQUALL DESERVES BETTEERRRRR!
- I dunno, I think it would finally make me like Rinoa. And it could explain a few things. This is now my official stance on Ultimecia!
- You know you want to.
- Remember kids, "waste not, want not."
- Ffuuuuuuuuuuuuu.... ck YEAH! Breathe deep, Equestria! Breathe deep and die! *(releases phosgene gas)
- I once thought about a Sunblast Angel proxy with the image of Princess Celestia. It kept the same Flavor Text as the original Sunblast Angel.
- There is such a thing known as the intervention-forbidden barrier, which results in stuff like canon and fanfic. Get a crossover fanfic out! NOW!
- Wasn't Equestria already invaded by a certain Chaos Daemon? Who was fought off by the immortal Emp...Princess of Ponykind?
- No. He was sealed in stone by the immortal Princesses of Ponykind. "Fought off" would imply he had a chance to run away. And he's hardly the only threat Equestria's faced down and won... So if Yawgmoth wants to take over, he'd better bring his a-game.
- Apparently Russia adjusted well enough during the freak Warp Storm over the Hetalia-verse.
- Jossed in the case of Narnia... where the Rapture already happened in The Last Battle
The rest of the book takes place after he gets onto the great Hogwarts Express in The Sky, easing him into death. The epilogue is what he wished happened, hence the Happily Ever After vibe.
- Some people would argue that this makes for a better ending.
- If Voldemort was blown up and stayed dead too, it could also work as a Bitter Sweet Ending, as well as a darkly humorous Call-Back and/or Book Ends to Voldemort blowing himself up trying to kill baby!Harry.
- Alternatively, the whole story was made up by Harry as a way of coping with life under the stairs.
World War II existed in the Rugrats 'verse - it's Canon that Grandpa Pickles was a soldier in the U.S. Army during that period.
- Charlotte Pickles' father was an SS Obergruppenfuhrer wanted for war crimes who fled to the United States. This explains Angelica. (According to That70s Show, evil skips a generation.)
- Nah, already familiar with the Lolicon subtext.
- You mean this?
Several of his deaths occur when he's guilty as hell and not just a Lethal Klutz (in those cases, he often survives), and guess what - here he caused an explosion that killed himself and probably some other poor sods who were walking in the forest, just after he started to laugh maniacally...
He started with slipping a lot of sleeping pills into their drinks. The first ones to go were Giggles and Cub, as Giggles was in a couch (indicating that she felt tired and decided to take a nap), and Cub could be playing a bit before falling asleep. Petunia, however, was determined to go and prepare the table, no matter how tired she was feeling.
Cuddles and Toothy hadn't drunk as much as the others, and only felt sluggish when Petunia suddenly collapsed in the doorway, making them really scared.Lumpy, upon seeing that they would flee and probably report it if he didn't stop themnote , strangled Toothy and Cuddles, and then made them sit at the dining table after their deaths.Meanwhile, the twins had come to steal some things (no, they aren'T the smartest of thieves). Suddenly when they tried to get away, they found that every door was locked and they couldn't get out before they were caught and met a terrible fate...Lumpy didn't even bother bringing both of them to the table, but dumped one of them there, and then went back to the kitchen to prepare the dinner as if nothing had happened. The gas leak prevented that from happening.
Lumpy was just as terrified as anybody else when Petunia fell, and upon checking her pulse, he found that her pulse was so slow that she was beyond help. This caused his mind to start cracking.
Cuddles and Toothy didn't want to stay. The elk, however, was determined to keep things as they once had been, with him and the others sitting around the table, no matter the costs. He tried and tried to keep them in the house, but alas...
The twins managed to open up the kitchen window. The gas had started to leak by then, and Lifty, who had gone around stealing everything but the cold, cold chicken, suffocated, while Shifty, who had been waiting outside, shut the window after him and left.
Lumpy, upon seeing Lifty in his kitchen, didn't take that well. He threw him out and tried his best to warm the chicken up. Just as he had lit the fire, he came to think of the gas in the room, and was very happy for this nightmare to end when everything blew up.(The writer of these two couldn't decide what was worse - the first one has him acting as a Complete Monster and the other one...)
- Jon Arbuckle's life just got even more pathetic.
- Garfield Minus Garfield is now canon.
- The theory that Mr.Rich had all his money in real estate is extremely nonsensical since canon confirms that he has a scientist and engineer working for him... Why would someone with money on real estate hire such a person? And it is impossible to be that rich without diversification. The Simpsons provide a better explanation; Life as a filthy rich solitary boy was depressing and shallow for Richie Rich and he commited suicide, or even more random, he develop clinical depression and/or shcizophrenia and that lead to his suicide, or he died in an accident or was killed by criminals, probably kidnappers.
- However, this theory doesn't explain the comics where Richie and Casper actually met and interacted.

- . . . They . . . they wouldn't really do that, would they?
- Hell, Blizzard confirmed it. They've explicitly stated that the next game has you as Zerg!Kerrigan and that it takes place after Wings of Liberty. How is that even possible?! DAMN YOU, BLIZZARD!!
- Actually, it was worse. They made the Zerg suffer Villain Decay.
The Emprah is Apache Chief.
- Shinji and Warhammer40k is a LIE?! NoooooooOooooOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!11111!!!!!!!!!!1!11 * commits suicide*
- Anatolia is nowhere near the Americas.
- Nah, he's dead in Majora's Mask.
- Confirmed. The soldier at the end of the Parish asks the helicopter guys if they are equipped for carriers, implying that the survivors are carriers. We saw that the military had been shooting carriers earlier in the level, so it leaves you to wonder just what will happen to them once they escape with the military.
- Explicitly, even medically, confirmed in The Sacrifice comic
- AHAHAHAHAHAHA that's funny, I must be losing it, because, you know, for a second there, said line kind of sounded like GLARING SARCASM.
Here's the scary part: who ever said that Scott ever stopped altering his memories?
The entire series could be Scott being an Unreliable Narrator, adding in fantastic elements and making him seem like less of a jerk.
- Scott is Cloud.
- Alternatively, the whole series consists of Scott's memories after Gideon finished editing the hell out of them. The entire video game motif is just a way to make Scott more aggressive and controllable. What Scott ACTUALLY did to the evil exes is perhaps best unexplored — especially given how he "defeated" Roxy.
- The Ellimist/Crayak : all powerful and yet basically useless bystanders = the Old Ones
- Visser Three: Wants to enslave and then destroy all humans. What all the others fear = the Nightbringer
- David: Tried to betray his own the and ended up trapped in a living prison = the Void Dragon
- Tobias: Horrifically tortured, trapped in a body he once loved but now cannot stand, unable to do anything but watch as all he loved falls down around his ears= the god emperor of mankind
- Marco: the self proclaimed joker in the pack. Always hides his motives. Closer relationship with the arch enemy than you would think = The Deceiver
- Jake: the leader via his Manipulative Bastardry, always looking at the bigger picture, prepared to coldly and calmly sacrifice the lives of thousands to achieve his aims= Tzeentch
- Cassie: best at morphing I.E. best at a horrific process of Body Horror she willingly, gleefully puts herself though. Chooses to work with sick and dying animals, to whom she is as caring as a good grandparent= Nurgle
- Ax: Utter hedonistic Sense Freak whose race is the Animorphs equivalent for Elves. Enjoys whipping his enemies with a barbed tail= Slaanesh.
- Rachel: .... To be honest, If we replaced all her dialogue from the second half of the series with "Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull throne! " would anyone have cared? Or noticed?
- Readers would notice! They would be upset that she devoted her bloody slaughter to the Blood God instead of Crayak.
Any indie gaming that managed to stay indie won't be affected and will continue to produce the same sorts of games it has for years. Mainstream gaming will ride its tailcoats to recovery by mimicking the most popular indie games.
What incredibly popular indie game do you think they'll follow the example of?
Yes, in a few years badly drawn girls in ridiculous hats will be as common as SPESS MEHRENS, except that you have to build the badly drawn girls in ridiculous hats yourself using ultra-rare materials that take 1000 hours of gameplay to get tools strong enough to gather them before you even start. And that's not counting the time it takes to build your own Bullet Hell stages from scratch to play in, which requires a further 1000 hours of gameplay just to get it to the length of your average Touhou game.
- That's supposed to be a Poison Oak Epileptic Tree? It's awesome.
- Even after the edit?
- Or they'll follow the example of I Wanna Be the Guy.
- Snake Simpson is a homophobe.
- This would explain why he's never reestablished contact with Glen and why the measures he took after Adam was thrown through a window were as much a punishment for Adam as for Fitz and Owen.
- Shane could have had a much better life if he had had better treatment post-brain damage.
- He's a lot lower-functioning when Emma reestablishes contact with him, after having been warehoused in an institution his entire adult life, than he was when he reappeared for the first time and was attending a special day school and presumably recieving intensive therapy. They put him away and he regressed.
- And he has porn of it.
- He masturbates on money. And then hands it out to customers as change.
- It's canon that he has a huge Money Fetish. Damnit, this theory has precedence.
- THIS. Ugh.
- I think it's for motivation to earn money and get out of the Great Depression poverty rut..... but it has gone too far.
- Do you remember how Krabs will stop at nothing to gain or retain money (so that he can masturbate at it)? Yes, he even has a drugs and prostitution industry, because Sex Sells. Spongebob and Pearl are his ho's
- Spongebob masturbates to Krabby Patties.
- And the worst part is, he rubs those Krabby Patties onto his.... yeah. That's it folks, you know the secret ingredient!!!!
- I WANT MY MONEY BACK. *continues to vomit*
- Are you sure? (See above)
- NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
- Spongebob loves the sound of two pickes rubbing together. He can listen to it all night long.
- He also masturbates to jellyfish and his Driver's Licence.
- Jellyfish: Vaginas of the sea.
- Spongebob actually fell in love with a Krabby Patty once. Thankfully sponges are pretty much asexual.
- Spongebob is gay. Have you not heard of the controversy?
- You Fail Biology Forever. Sponges are hermaphrodites and therefore can't be gay. That's a scientific fact. You can't argue with science.
- His "unrequited crush" on Sandy is just his desperation to have a beard.
- And the worst part is, he rubs those Krabby Patties onto his.... yeah. That's it folks, you know the secret ingredient!!!!
- Plankton worships Chtulhu.
- Squidward Tentacles rapes anime girls in his Cthulhu rituals. The "miserable neighbour" personality is just a mask.
- Patrick masturbates to jellyfish too.
- The cast of Spongebob Squarepants became the real Cthulhu, further explained by their life at the bottom of the ocean.
- So... That means Cthulu visits Texas and there would be a fanfic Cthulhu Mythos Versus Squirrel Girl?
- Are you kidding? That would be awesome!
- Made possible by Hellmouths near you. Thank you!
- Actually that was courtesy of Aristotle, who criticized Plato's Theory of Forms as being too idealistic.
- They're already experimenting with some kinds of Newspeak. The "New Language" brainwashing used on Nenene is certainly an example of one.
- Alternatively, Yomiko is already incarcerated in the Ministry of Love (or just an asylum), and all the alternate ROD continuities and being a papermaster are her catatonic delusions. It's like Brazil.
- What about Milhouse's parents? They're almost identical.
- So are his grandparents. That's because the Van Houtens are all the result of a Nazi human inbreeding plan to keep the Aryan race pure.
- Damn those blue-haired, yellow-skinned... wait, what?
- So are his grandparents. That's because the Van Houtens are all the result of a Nazi human inbreeding plan to keep the Aryan race pure.
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
- Same can be said of feudalism in general.
- Adds a whole new meaning to Scar's warning "Don't turn your back on me, Mufasa".
- Perhaps it meant "This time, we won't be reconciling the easy way".
- Search your feelings (and the torture devices used), you know it to be true.....
- So will the Inquisition ever end? That is, unless The Vatican runs out of money.
- It will never, ever, ever, end.
- duh du jour, duh of the day.
- TVTropes says otherwise.
- So will the Inquisition ever end? That is, unless The Vatican runs out of money.
- which explains why he is such a charismatic, messianic, hammy Übermensch praising manliness and despising "sub-humans" (Beastmen).
- Spiral Energy = Power of Evolution = Natural Selection = Survival of the fittest = Social Darwinist = Nazism
- Which makes Simon somewhat an Anthropomorphic Personification of Germany.
- Communists = Anti-Spirals? That explains their Nineteen Eighty Four - like attitude...
- Actually, the Anti-Spirals are Jewish, if you would go by the theory that Seele is based on Jewish world conspiracy, and also that both parties are involved in / resembled Instrumentality....
- Jossed: Its established in the narrative that Kamina isn't fighting the war out of hatred. Nor is there any sign he 'despises' beastmen for being beastmen. Also, Spiral Energy is plainly established as becoming much more powerful by way of the bonds between both diverse humans and beastmen.
- In fact, in episode 4, a group a nearly identical beastmen characters FAIL at being strong by way of unity.
- But what if reality fabric basis explodes? Infinity rewritten?
- Alternately, an early Slender Man story suggested that he does what he does because it's necessary to protect humanity/the world from something even worse.
- WHY DOES THIS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE
- *children cry*
- This film suffers from an Unreliable Narrator: Red is biased towards Andy due to their friendship and Andy is outright lying to Red and the others to keep them on his side, so nothing Red says, and nothing that happens in the scenes were Red is not present to confirm the play of events can be trusted. Andy gunned down his wife and her lover in cold blood not because he even loved her, but because he did not like being cuckolded, and he is every bit as cold and calculating as the judge thought he was. He got a rock hammer of Red for the soul aim of making an escape attempt, and his “friendship” with Red was purely to ensure he retained access to any other items he might need smuggled in from the outside. He was never raped by the sisters, and the accusations that they take part in rape by Red are just fantasies caused by Red’s homophobia, and although telling the truth when he says that he’s not homosexual Andy is however Bisexual and in a rough, but consensual, relationship with Boggs. Boggs then finds out about Andy’s excape plan, and needs to be silenced. Andy has this in mind when he gives Capt. Byron Hadley financial advice on the roof, and later provokes a fight with the sisters knowing he can use this excuse to have Hadley take care of Boggs. The warden is a good god-fearing man struggling with the temptation to abuse his position, and Andy approaches him with the plan to use the prisoners as labour to undercut local companies unless given kickbacks: Andy is planning to make money for his post-escape life even then. Tommy’s old cell-mate confessed to killing a professional athlete and a white-collar worker's wife, but the details were hazy in Tommy’s mind and he only decided that it was a banker's wife and a tennis player when he heard Andy’s story, filing in the gaps in his memory with these new details. The warden, being a good person, takes this seriously and considered getting Andy a re-trial. This is a problem: Andy is desperate to walk away with the warden’s money (which he has always considered his by right) and knows that if he is taken from his cell for a re-trial the part-finished tunnel will be discovered. Tommy must be silenced, so Andy puts him up to running away by threatening to spread lies that he’s cheated on his high school equivalency making him unemployable when he gets out, and by threatening him and his family physically, ensuring that he runs and is shot by Hadley during an escape attempt. The warden realizes that Andy orchestrated this and sticks him in solitary, but by now his escapes plan is in the final stages. He escapes the day he's let out of solitary, framing the innocent warden and Hadley for his crimes, but has a problem. He can't carry nearly $300,000 dollars in cash over the border without raising some suspicions. So he needs a disposable mule to take his cash over the border. Thankfully for him he's planed ahead: Red. He gives Red the location of a dead drop before his escape, and before fleeing Maine uses some of his cash to bribe the parole board: hence why Red bizarrely makes parole despite mouthing off. Red finds the cash and follows Andy over the border where he's there with his boat. Later that night, his cash returned to him, Andy takes Red on a little moonlight cruse, safe in the knowledge that if a body was to wash ashore the next morning no one would kick up a fuss over an old con, especially not a coloured one. Bored of Mexico, about a month later Andy decides to change his name and go to Europe for a bit, and so picks a new identify out of a phone book: Tom Ripley.
- In From Dusk Till Dawn “El Ray”, the hideout for escaped American criminals in Mexico is the same place as Zihuatanejo, founded and run by Andy, who takes a 20% share of every other villain's takings.
- Think about it. Both the USS Enterprise, an exploratory ship and one of the most powerful warships in Starfleet, and Deep Space Nine, a military outpost that is closer to one of the Federation's sometimes-enemies than it is to any help from the Federation, AND next to the wormhole into the Gamma Quadrant, have civilians and children aboard. Even when Deep Space Nine was the front lines of the Dominion War, we still saw civvies and children on the station, not to mention Ben Sisko's wife and infant son aboard the USS Saratoga at Wolf 359. Every one of the 39 starships destroyed in that battle, and most, if not all, of the starships destroyed in the Dominion War and the Federation's short war with the Klingons, had civilians and children aboard. And nobody seems to find it worth mentioning how many of them have died.
- Not so fast! It's likely that the children and several non-essential civilians would've been offloaded to a Caretaker ship at a marshalling point. Still a Tear Jerker when you think about the survivors, though...
- Yes, yes, the real man behind the Administratum is not Fast Eddie, but Gendo Ikari.
- Can you really blame us? After all, IT'S GENDO!
- Frank? Is that you?
- More likely to be Jossed due to The Advertisement Server pulling out finance if we have NSFW content. Or that's just what Gendo would like you to think......
- None of it is real. It's all a vast conspiracy to keep the oppressed populace of the Crapsack World from realizing how bad things really are. The fact that Big Brother cares enough to bother is itself a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
- Or even more depressingly, all of it (and the Troper Tales section) was made up by ordinary people as a means of useless wish-fulfillment, à la Johnny Truant. People just bought into the stories because they needed to believe some good is in the world, and eventually they just became accepted as real stories. Which makes the Real life section of the Heartwarming listing nothing more than a Wish-Fulfillment trope
- This is actually the plot of Wristcutters A Love Story.
- No no no, we all know what happens to people who commit suicide: in the afterlife, they become civil servants.
- Which is one of the most Real Life-istic jobs for the afterlife.
- Or possibly, whenever anyone dies at all, they get reincarnated into any medium.
- Barbie and Ken are together dispite the relationship issues they'd be likely to have, *Sunnyside follows Kens overtly idealistic views and everyone lives happily ever after (instead it's likely Lotso's inner circle squabbled and divided the daycare even more. Unknown to Woody without those in power Ken has little influence.),
- Lotso gets karmic retribution by a former kid of yet another Lotso,
- Mrs. and Mr. Potato Head's family is back together and stronger than ever,
- Chuckles gets repaid for helping Woody defeat Lotso,
- The toys get their last playtime with Andy
- Woody gets to see more of Bonnie and her toys as he was growing fond of Bonnie and felt bad about abandoning the latter.
- The part with Buzz and Jessie is him wanting them to be together despite in his falling for one or both of them after Bo had to leave the group, he wants them to be happy and get together.
The talk between Andy and his mom, that's Woody's mind trying to convince Woody it's time to go in a way he'd pay attention to.
- oh my god... this makes so much sense...
- Or they were formed by consensual adultery and passed off as freaks of nature.
- Wait, consensual adultery is worse than them being rape children?
Thankfully, there is proof out there to discount at least some of this. However, there is always the possibility...
- But without any testosterone, how could he have grown a mustache?
- Testosterone infusions or hair follicle implants. Maybe...
- Or maybe he just grew the mustache before he got his balls chopped off, and then never shaved it off.
- I have another explanation - Mario is a FtM transsexual who probably hasn't ended with all part of the process. This explains the voice.
- Transition does not work that way
- And why he's shorter than Princess Peach.
- If all the above is true, then Peach herself is an MtF Transsexual: She oftentimes sounds as if she were a man with a fake high-pitched voice. Maybe this is why they are so keen on saving each other all the time?
An example:
- The only guesses that are true!
- That may be a poem, but the meter is awful.
- Well since this is Poison Oak Epileptic Trees that means Vogon poetry is the most perfect poetry out there.
- That may be a poem, but the meter is awful.
Room 101 exists. You haven't seen it because you're not dissenting.
The closest things we have to heroes are a thief and a lazy miko. Serious shit's happened numerous times that could have ended very, very badly for everyone. The only thing keeping the genuinely malevolent characters in check is their own idiocy. It only looks so quirky and cute because Yukari is, without fail for every second of every day, keeping the tone of the game within acceptable, non-GRIMDARK territory.- Unfortunately, Yukari is asleep most of the time. Alternately, horrible, horrible things happen all the time in Gensokyo, it's just that when the full moon rolls around, Keine edits history into something more palatable — so you did get tortured/raped/dismembered/killed/eaten, but you just don't remember. Unless Akyuu managed to write it down; then even Keine can't undo it.note
Consider that:
- When Giygas is "defeated", he turns into static and blips out like an old TV. Maybe it's really the four kids' robot vision malfunctioning as they break down?
- The cutscene immediately after that apparently shows Ness and friends' souls time-travelling from past to present. Absolutely no precedent or explanation is given for this, yet they needed to get transplanted into robots to even safely travel through Dr. Andonut's super-advanced time capsule. We can only assume the whole series of events is improbable, possibly Ness's dying dreams.
- Mother 3 takes place in an After the End setting. Perhaps that setting is the same as Ness's, destroyed 10 years after when Giygas came back healthy?
And as for Mother 3, well, the world gets destroyed again doesn't it? The hidden ending when "everyone's fine" is presumably also Lucas' dream, a picture of what he wished in his heart for all the people he knew, but knowing deep down that it never was and never will be. And Porky's gonna get out of that capsule sometime and somehow and rebuild his Egopolis from the ground up.
- And this applies to everyone ever named "Ash," since the fandom is not specified.
- Every Ash? It's Jossed for at least one Ash, whose father is clearly shown to be alive and working as a gynecologist.
- To make thing worse, Knuckles stuffed and mounted the others after they died!
- Or alternativly, the other echidnas are just hallucinations.
- Perhaps he plans to stuff and mount ROUGE.
- Mount, THEN stuff, surely? Their half-bat half-echidna children will mean he ISN'T the last of his kind. :3
- Or alternativly, the other echidnas are just hallucinations.
- Ugh, that would probably crush them to death the first time and...)
His fellow "crimefighters" follow this: Commisioner Gordon is a police officer who sympathizes with the delusional Batman, Robins are children who were brought in somehow to see him and sympathized for extended periods of time, Batgirl is Gordon's daughter, who followed along with the Batman story for a while, who became a police officer and subsequently lost her legs in a gunfire incident that Batman's mind interpreted as fault of the Joker, went on to become a computer worker who has friends in the aviary sciences, Alfred the butler is either a prison worker or a family friend, who tells many tales of things that constitute the Batman's arsenal of weapons and fighting styles, but some medical affliction kept him from becoming a crimefighter in his own right, etc. any incidents in which Batman has his TRULY dead family (what drove him insane, really) brought back to him is an ill-advised combination of a shortage of drugs and a necessary treatment change and lucid dreaming in an unstable mental treatment. The Justice League and other "heroes" was something from a television Show Within a Show that he had the luxury of watching several times, or people with different medical afflictions he consistently met when he required hospital treatment in other wings, and Gotham's existence is probably the name of the area or city where the asylum stands.
- If he writes two series of novels, one of the Batman fantasies and another of his true situation, that would be subject to a GREAT series of Lemony Narrator class writers, and... well, you can probably guess. Also, if this theory is true, BRUCE WAYNE IS THE WRITER OF DC COMICS!?!?!
- That lines up way too well. Pure genius. DC should totally write a comic based on that, play it completely straight. . . and not specify whether its a Imaginary Stories comic or if its Canon.
- The Joker is his projection of his insanity as a separate person, giving a face to the crime and misery of the world in general.
- The most compelling piece of evidence for this interpretation lies in the scene where Alfred resigns from Bruce's service. Consider: In his final confrontation with Bruce, Alfred specifically referred to the fantasy he had during Bruce's absence from Gotham in Batman Begins. He went to the café in Florence every year, like clockwork during his annual holiday, hoping to see Bruce there as a sign that he had come to terms with the deaths of Thomas and Martha, and had moved on. Alfred demonstrably experienced deep emotional trauma after Batman, already arguably mortally wounded by Talia's "slow knife" attack, piloted the reactor core offshore and died in the ensuing explosion. Alfred needed to see Bruce in his mind's eye at the café—he needed to be able to comfort himself with the notion that Bruce had come to terms with his life and moved on—so that he himself could move on and proceed through his grief for Bruce and for Thomas and Martha, and accept Bruce's passing.
- Of course, one could conveniently use that exact same logic to explain why a living Bruce would deliberately show up at that cafe at that time with Selina (whose presence would make little sense in a hallucination, considering that Alfred had no knowledge of the two having any sort of feelings for each other).
- Also consider that despite what the final product seems to indicate, that Bruce does indeed survive, his death would also be more consistent with his character arc as it stands by the ending. With most of the things upon which his identity as Bruce Wayne was built being taken away (being betrayed and deserted by Alfred, learning the truth about Rachel, failing utterly as Batman, letting corruption seep back in through the Dent Act, destroying his father's company through neglect), all of which happened after the fixing of the autopilot, it makes sense that he really has no identity left except Batman, which his Howard Hughes-style retreat from public life would indicate. But because being Batman would only ever bring him more misery, as Alfred warned, the only way for Wayne to ever find peace is to go out in a Heroic Sacrifice for the sake of Gotham. Dialogue like "There's nothing for me out there", and "Not everything; not yet" definitely establishes a character with nothing to live for. The idea of Wayne lying to everything who cares about him and sneaking off just ... doesn't fit.
- Two major themes/aesops of the series are telling lies for the greater good is bad (every lie told in The Dark Knight is revealed with terrible consequences) and "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain" (Two-Face of course, but also Ra's al-Ghul and Bane saving Talia) If Bruce Wayne survives, it violates both of those.
Totally confirmed.◊ (The humans are pack-ins with Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime and Megatron figures.)
- Alternatively, the regenerations were getting more unstable, but Jackie Tyler's tea fixed whatever the Gallifreyan council broke, and Ten will have it down pat when he has to regenerate for real. We know that Tylers and Ten both have special places in the new series.
- This one seems to be supported by the latest regeneration - so explosive it damages the TARDIS and sends it plummeting to earth.
- This is also the reason for his getting younger. Every time the Doctor regenerates he's burning up his life force. His first form lasted him for nearly 400 years, but then he needed to regenerate, and it cost him a lot more than anyone realised. Basically he's either going to keep regressing, or he's eventually going to just fall apart at the seams when his body can't sustain the level of power drain it needs. This can also be an explanation for his regenerations changing personality completely, because his neural pathways are getting eaten away. He's trapped in a Body Horror cycle he can't get out of.
- except by dying 3 more times...
- Haruhi pays a lot for what she thinks is a High-Class Call Girl, duh. And not just her. Zeus, Yahweh, Cthulhu, that guy with AIDS, you name it.
- Giving her similarity (and same voice) to Orihime Inoue, which all the haters call "whorihime", there might be something about this.
- This gives a new insight to her superior's identity: It's Gendo!
And with the reputation of the Orks being one of the greatest badasses in all existence... *bangs head to wall*
Every character who appaered in Chronicles but not 06 died, and eveyone got bombed by the Xorda at the end.
He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice...
- Okay, this one? This one is true.
- Alternatively, Edward (Twilight) is Santa. He sees you when your sleeping, he knows if you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good (with the mindreading and stuff). I really hope I haven't been good this year.
Egon said crossing the streams was bad. He was right. Ghostbusters ended with Egon and team purposefully destroying the world, so as to take Gozer and co with them. The rest of the film, and the sequel, is a dream sequence in that last dying microsecond.
- Are you sure that's a Poison Oak Epileptic Tree? Because like we really need the God-Emperor of Mankind right now (although the Internet could be mistaken for Slaanesh, and thus might actually be a Poison Oak Epileptic Tree, since us netizens will be exterminated as Heresy)
- But if anything, Real Life is Warhammer 40k without the awesome parts. Chaos is obviously teh Internets.
- Because the Truth in Television is, Hitler seems like to be more of the God Emperor material than that whiny neurotic Shinji and that meek, sheepish, enemy-loving hippie masochist Jesus.
- The Emporer is a fascist nut but he viewed all of humanity as the greatest species in the universe so alternatively....
- A Dark Messiah to a crumbling nation? Check. Created a superpower that became a major player in world affairs? Check. Said superpower's arsenal capable of causing world-shattering mass destruction? Check. Died, was preserved as a mere monument for the masses to worship, and his successors turned his secular and rationalist utopia into a theocratic Orwellian dystopia which takes disregard for human life to new and interesting extremes, and where the slightest deviation of thought is immediately smited with greatest disproportion? Double. Fucking. Check.
- Throw in the deranged worship of a deceased cult personality and the Imperium is basically North Korea IN SPESS.
- But there's already Space Commies in 40k called the Tau.
- Abraham Lincoln, anyone?
- That’s why there are lots of cellars in the Abbey that are hardly ever used, you need to keep all those wicked sinfull dirty pregnant people out of sight before you dump their babies in the woods to be “found.”
- That’s why everyone in the Redwall Universe drinks so much: October ale: Erasing memories of childhood abuse by a trusted religious official since the time of Martin the Warrior!
- The lords of Salamanderstron are well aware of all this, but as the extreme emotional repression of the Abbey reliably produces at least a few plucky, brave Axe-Crazy sword swinging “champions” every generation to aid them, they turn a blind eye.
- Does this justify or not justify some of the stuff going on with all the fighting to end almost every landmark "order"?
- Lawful Evil Salamanderstron found that these Chaotic Neutral thugs just get in the way of their plans too much, and as for Redwall, the spirit of Martin the Warrior told them to.
- The 2011 earthquake is a sign of its impending rise.....
- Unfortunately, given ol HP's views on Asians, he might've agreed with this one.
- Alternatively, Cain doesn't exist, all the events are just a projection of the split personality of the God-Emperor of Mankind. Think about it. Both are incredibly badass and are widely considered to be among the greatest by The Empire, even though they don't want too much of the fanatical reverence.
- Okay, this one? It's true.
- Alternatively, Justin Bieber is an I-jin clone of Ludwig Van Beethoven. Hence why Symphony No. 9 (the Ode To Joy) is as catchy as Baby. This Is Wrong on So Many Levels!
- They're farthest from N's Castle. This might not be an issue, considering that the Dark Tinity can teleport.
- And Cilan is travelling with Ash right now in the anime...
- Another name for Dark Trinity is Shadow Triad. Shadow Triad -> S. Triad -> Striad -> Striat -> Striaton.
- Well its a good thing He's used to being part of a Trinity of Three People that are One Person, otherwise all those Jesus would get really tired of talking to themselves/each other all day
- And [[Worse it gets worse]]. Kenny G (February 21), Yoko Ono (March 5) and Justin Bieber are performing there! AGGGHHHH!!!
- Altenatively, Jesus is the radar, and Justin Beiber is the crap that slipped past it.
O-Haruhi-Sama Herself demonstrates this by torturing Mikuru Asahina, which results in Mikuru having a popular appeal instead of being just an annoying filler character.
And the dystopian world of Nineteen Eighty-Four is run by TV Tropes itself. This is a very inconvenient truth indeed which I myself feel doubleplusungood upon, but come on, any chap who got their life ruined by TV Tropes and have actually read the book can use the book to explain how TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life. TV Tropes began as a wiki that presented itself to the masses as a buttload more informal and more friendly than Wikipedia, like how Big Brother presented himself as a friend and socialist revolutionary against the Capitalists and Elitists, and suddenly things went out of shape. We got to love Tropes more and more, the Tropes gained more and more authority and rose to the top of the hierarchy, and as a radical deviation from Wikipedian oldthinkers and their obsession with "evidence" and "notability", the format of This Very Wiki introduces and encourages the use of Newspeak (Wiki Words), doublethink and self denial (No Fourth Wall structure, anti-empiricism disguised as There Is no Such Thing as Notability), which at first glance was a fun thing, but in fact is a memetic mutative Mind Manipulation mechanism that is utilized in infecting and radically altering and brainwashing our minds and perception and leaving us into mental stasis.
With the pure power that originally belonged to ourselves having been consumed by the Tropes, They knew how our intricate lives work every single time, They got the power to modify history and reality when They see fit, and we, in turn, were left with ruined, decaying, crapsack lives and an unending, blind, absolute love, fear, acceptance and adoration for Them. Fast Eddie and his fellow moderators The Inner Party utilized this pure power and started to institute large-scale changes, deletions and just plain screwing to both the entire TV Tropes wiki and our minds arbitrarily... like renaming pages, removing content, locking pages, banning people, spreading hateful anti-other wikis propaganda, turning us into either introverted hikikomoris or infectious manchurian trolls, creating an oppressive tropocracy under the guise of Utopia Justifies the Means, generally becoming worse than Wikipedia, jaywalking, and so on... just because they don't like something, all in the guise of Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement (at the cost of Obvious Truth) or simply For the Evulz. Even Four Chan (the V of the Internet) is annoyed by TV Tropes. note note
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a Troper endlessly exploring on Tropes...... forever.
Send this message to the masses before we-- *sent to Room 101*
This information was brought to you by The Ministry of Truth. Of course, The Ministry of Truth had nothing at all to do with it. In fact, this whole page was probably written by Goldstein, and is to be disregarded.And to make things worse, N might well be one of that subset of victims that go on to abuse children themselves, seeing the No Yay with the player character on the ferris wheel combined with his social regression. Where do you think people got the idea for hebephile!N in Japanese fanart?
Thankfully, he doesn't have the psychological symptoms that would clearly support that theory, but then again he might have just been good at hiding himself...
- Or he got a bunch of hired goons to do that. Not because Even Evil Has Standards, but he doesn't want to dirty himself. Or he gets some sick enjoyment from watching goons rape N.
- Tonight on Myth Busters: Can emotional energy cause inanimate objects to spontaneously become sentient? Let's find out!
- Spoiler: Myth Confirmed, and we're all going to Hell.
- This may be why they've stopped even having continuity between dummies referred to as "Buster". They made a big deal of keeping the face from Buster 1 for Buster 2, they made a Buster 3, but recently any old dummy in widely varying styles gets called "Buster". The question is, does the soul transfer with the name?
Basically, Winston Smith is a Shinji Ikari figure: George Orwell even emphasized on his Oedipus Complex. Julia, a hedonistic " rebel from the waist down", is Misato (or Asuka to a lesser degree). O'Brien and B.B. are Kaworu (who betrayed Shinji) and Rei (central apex of assimilation, aka God), respectively. It is possible that Winston originally lived in the NGE universe as a Lawful Evil person, however, since The Instrumentality takes the form of an Ironic Hell designed to break Individual personalities in the most efficient manner, he ended up in the 1984 universe, perhaps one of his worst possible inner thoughts. Another disgusting problem with this theory is that the Instrumentality WMG is overdone. The most horrible part? Rei Ayanami, the Meme we all know and love, will send you to Room 101 and make you experience your worst fears. That's how horrible it is.
No, just no.Kyon = Only Sane Man, forced to love God in the end = Winston
Mikuru = Tried to seduce Kyon = Julia
Itsuki = The Philosopher = O'Brien
Yuki = Possibly the real, active power behind Haruhi / God = The Thought Police /Telescreen
- Well there is Poe's Law...
- And Dr. Heiter really is God. Katsuro even acknowledges his Godliness in the end.
- I was actually thinking that One Piece being a one-piece swimsuit of some sort.
- Well the Big Bad's plan for becoming God of a Master Race is to rape fertile Diclonii...
- Unit 731. Enough said.
- Looking more likely now that Fukushima has been upgraded to Chernobyl-level.
- Furthermore, this article shows that Aerith is EVIL.
Another example happened in the second part episode 7. Hotori's brother stayed up one night and commented on how creepy an ordinary night was. Then Hotori pointed out that it turned midnight and is now May 1st, meaning that the previous night was April 30th. In other words, the night when that episode took place was none other than Walpurgis Night.
Finally, in the prologue for episode 10, the narrator comments about some people praying to mysterious extraterrestrial forces to get their wishes granted. In Madoka Magica, it turns out that Kyubey is an alien. One who grants wishes if you make a contract with him.
Coincidence, or SHAFT being SHAFT? You decide.
- I'm afraid we need to use... MATH.
- Sounds awesome. Why can't it be in the near future?
- It's Been Done. We DO Have This One. "Further resistance would be illogical." <BLAZ>
- Wait. Wait.... What? WHAT? No. NO. OH! UGH! AAAAAAAAAH WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! OH MY GODS. OH MY GODS! OH MY GODS! Oh, I'm never gonna be able to eat ice cream aga-OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!1!!!
- If you re-watch the scene, Asuka's hand IS hanging off the edge of the hospital bed afterward, so it looks like this one's true.
- Can you imagine if Shinji used another guy's hand!? That would be even worse. Like, would that even exist? Let's Google it and see what comes up!
- During the Instrumentality sequence, she even acknowledges that she knew. Asuka even openly told Shinji that she can openly display herself in all her lustful glory to be wanked at.
- And hybrid diseases are most dangerous to children, due to their less developed immune systems. The apparent trend for small families in the Avatarverse is actually the result of hideously high child mortality rates.
- Couldn't they be Asian hippies? (See: "The Cave of Two Lovers")
- He could just do that in the bathroom instead.
- He has a computer in his room. Do you really think he wouldn't use it for that?
- Worse than that. You know how in Toy Story 3 Bonnie's toys actually know how to use computers? Yes. There is toy pron out there. And that is what Andy is whatevering to, since it seems he has more attachment to his toys than real people
- Wait wait wait wait wait.... Does that mean that all Rule 34 of toys/inanimate objects we see in real-life are actually made by them and for them? I-I... I don't really know if that's a bad or good thing... For one, that means my childhood plushies fap to porn when I'm not looking. On the other hand, it implies humans aren't responsible for the existence of that kind of porn (at least not all of it), which makes for a kinda better portrayal of humankind.
- In one scene, Terra actually manages to remember what Kefka did to her, but while she was unconscious. When she became an Esper, she remembered the full extent of her repressed memory, from how the Empire killed her parents, to how Kefka put the Slave Crown on her (and presumably while relentlessly sexually torturing her, of course), hence her Heroic BSoD. One could imagine what would happen if the rest of the nakama weren't there to help her recover.
Oh, and either of them is possibly N's mother (and maybe those of A-M above). Notice how young both of them look in that opening cutscene? Now guess N's age from his appearance and put two and two together. (Still don't get it? Ghetsis impregnated them as soon as they began puberty. And yes, it also means that N is a rapechild. You're bloody welcome.)
- Any child of Ghetsis is a rapechild. Even if they aren't the product of rape.
And just how many links Have You made In your time, You Monster.
- So what about the red links?
- Good point. What about ALL OF THE SUBWIKIS!? What Smurf organs and fluids make that? Using Snork if you run low?
- Does he also use Snorks for the other colors?
- This also means that NERV is an Industrialized Evil for creating, cloning en masse, and popularizing throughout every facet of the anime worlds, those blue-haired Rei Ayanami Expies. And now in different hair colors! Order now and if you're one of the first 100 callers you'll get another Rei Clone with different hair color absolutely free!
- In most fiction that would be PERFECTLY scientifically testable using soul-vacuums. Too bad we don't have cheap, mass-produced specially made options just for that.
- DeBeers probably keeps any tests on the subject under wraps. (Yes, Kyubey actually works for DeBeers.)
- All that stuff about saving the universe from entropy and bringing civilization to humanity? All lies. The Incubators are just making money selling overpriced, sparkly rocks made from forsaken children.
- Or worse: This page is not real, and everything on it came from your own mind.
- This WMG post is your mind subconsciously fighting to remind you that this site is a lie and break you free from the hallucination.
- Please ignore the above post. T Vtropes is very real, and you have nothing to fear from it. Continue reading about tropes. Stay and read as long as you like. Stay forever and ever and ever and ever.
This makes sense when you think about the place inhabited by such monsters, Hell, which is actually other people.
- Do we make a Heel–Face Turn when we die?
- Complete Monsters can never make a Heel–Face Turn, since as an inherent trait they have no redeeming qualities at all.
- Superboy-Prime, is that you? You know, you could just go off and kill the writers of DC Comics...
- That explains the anachronistic stuff in the video, like modern looking houses, iron fences, frontdoors/windows with glass panels, and a tractors wheelnote .
- Kagami actually has a yuri/dominance & submission crush on Konata, which is why she hangs out with her so often, but to reveal outing herself (and to avoid people thinking she's also an otaku), she becomes the Alpha Bitch (sometimes in sheep's clothing).
- Meanwhile, Tsukasa herself really is severely mentally retarded and thus also bullied, even by her own sister and parents, who see her as just a mere pet. Don't be deceived by those Tareme Eyes: since cruelty begets cruelty, and mental retardation causes someone to be an Unwitting Pawn as a bully's minion, and wanting to seem "badass," she went along following everyone else picking on Konata. (Yes, yes. This is, in South Park, also what Eric Cartman did to get out of the "bullied" gutter and become a bully himself, and which Damien also did to Pip to get attention from Stan and Kyle.)
- Because Moe is "unrealistic", it's very likely that Miyuki does not exist, just being a projection of Konata's broken ideals. Alternatively, she compensates for being a Lonely Rich Kid who is further isolated by her encyclopaedic knowledge and coordination disorder (and thus both envied and despised by the rest of the more physically-competent popular clique) by becoming a Rich Bitch (a particular favourite for manipulative bribery is Konata due to her debt caused by her escapism-fueled anime addiction).
- Alternatively, they're all Affably Evil thus projecting the Moe image, but as a form of cynical manipulation (A well-known example of this deconstruction of the Moe-Blob is Mikuru Asahina, who's just faking the whole thing to cynically manipulate everyone on orders from her future self, and driving the plot via time Travel). Especially Miyuki and Tsukasa. The Reveal does come, but it only ends up creating more Cognitive Dissonance, thus trapping our otaku into a horrifying mixture of depression and Stockholm Syndrome.
Once Upon a Time, our poor and horribly depressed otaku, who cannot even commit suicide since her love of Anime is the only thing forcing her to live, wished upon a star to bring her friends (and make everyday life more like anime, if it's not too much), hence the series name. And so she imagines herself spending her days with archetypal anime characters, while also projecting them onto herself, relatives, and most especially the main bullies (such as the one Tsundere who's also her Bastard Girlfriend but wants to keep it secret) because of finally and completely succumbing to Despair Event Horizon-induced Stockholm Syndrome. In her imagination, they of course had to have rainbow-colored hair and Puni Plush designs and Moe elements to look more like anime characters. Also, in imagination-land, Konata is more assertive/extroverted, while Kagami ends up being the primary subject of Konata's teasing, in sharp contrast to the Real Life situation.
- And of course, as the Deconstruction of Power Fantasy has shown, she ends up in an asylum.
- And that Lucky Star that she wished on? It's actually a star system that is the homeworld of The Incubators. Yes, yes. Konata eventually becomes a powerful Witch (and I'm suspecting that said witch goes by the identity of Haruhi Suzumiya or someone similar), and Lucky Star takes place inside a Witch's labyrinth where Kagami, Tsukasa, Miyuki and co. are imprisoned for indefinite amounts of time in a nihilistic existence as moe-blobs forced to chat about pointless things, fully aware of everything they are doing but unable to escape the control or cry for help, trapped inside their own bodies, for what seems like eternity.
- Until Madoka euthanizes them.
- Well who wants to accept that they're hobos?
- So...we have entered an endless recursion in time?
- No, I meant that reality is headed into infinity other realities. Reality will just split at another node. Again. ANYTHING is possible. Therefore once inter-continuum travel limits are broken, reality will change and unions of similars of our "reality" and completely off-the-logic fictions. This epileptic tree might not be poison oak if you overthink it JUST short of your head at Your Head Asplode.
- That is obvious.
- WELL DUH. Only half of it is.
- Thus, that would make Burning balze.. Spirt Evolution?
- Let's hope he and Cable use protection.
- Umm, wasn't part of this inferred by what some guys did to poor Ariana that caused her to lockdown her magic subconciously, causing Wild Magic issues?
Persecutions, madness, terrorism and Holy Wars ravage the planet and devastate civilization back to the anarchy of the superstitious Dark Ages. The Realist factions, or what remain of them, degenerate into emergency Police States or anti-Brony lynch mobs, and instigate Holocausts where Bronies are rounded up to death camps ala Gitmo. In retaliation, the theocratic Church Militant of the Brony Ecclesiarchy torture and incinerate any Realist, with a ruthless zeal that, in comparison, makes The Spanish Inquisition and Islamic Terrorists extremely merciful. All these culminates in the eradication of Human Civilization due to a nuclear apocalypse and fallout radiation that destroys all non-magical organisms, but not before all the chaos of the Great War lead to the creation of Discord, while Twilight gives birth to two baby alicorns named Celestia and Luna...Which means all pony culture is built upon the remnants of human civilisation. And said Third World agricultural countries are the basis for Earth ponies, now not-so-third world as they can grow food in more exponential rates than human civilization ever did.
- And that is how Equestria was made. Pinkie Pie's story was a metaphor: The Rock Farm symbolized the scientific corporate world of Man and his monolithic towering machines of stone and steel, Pinkamena's struggle and depression symbolized the poor proletariat suffering oppression and injustice under Human Corporate Civilization, the Rainboom symbolized the Advent of Magic and the Apocalypse which wiped out this dystopia, and Pinkamena Diane Pie's conversion to Pinkie herself after exposure to the Rainboom (along with the rest of the Mane Six acquiring their cutie marks after exposure to the Rainboom) symbolizes the conversion of the oppressed sectors of humanity into happy ponies.
- Or it's set in the past, and all human culture is built upon the remnants of pony civilisation!
- Twilight Sparkle?
- And Dr. Whooves?
- So... Looks like it's a *sunglasses* stable time loop?
- This would make their relationship - which we've been building up to since Silence in the Library - the biggest lost opportunity ever. It never happened because they were both waiting for the other to show an indication that it was okay. They were so worried about the Timey-Wimey Ball exploding they never took advantage of what was right in front of them. Yeah, THIS BETTER NOT BE TRUE. Damn plot bunnies.
- Or worse, the reason River looks so gutted and heartbroken? It's her first kiss too.
- Rule34 : Now 20% more hilarious.
- He’s reminded of the gay pride flag and dies a little inside because he just wishes he had the courage to tell the Spy how he feels about him.
This, sadly, explains why no pony should ever attempt to meddle with supersonic flight: the only other one to try was Derpy, and before she tried, she wasn't.
- Alternatively: My Little Pony is actually Sugarcandy Mountain, but since such heavens only exist if you delude them, it quickly vanished as soon as Napoleon abolished religion.
- And its head nowadays is Josef Heiter
- Of course, the real Euphemia is trapped inside Adolf, unable to react but completely aware of all the genocide Geass is compelling both of them to do......
- Worse. Einstein really IS doing it with a table...........
For those who say that God, who lives in Japan, will save us, think again.
As William Halsey, Jr. has put it:
- Hopefully that wasn't an actual curse by Halsey.
- Nonsense, we just edited the time-space continuum by ordering the turtles of time to change the dance floor. Or something. Someone might have edited time-space. Watch for changes in reality making no point. Whatever.
- Actually, not only this, but soon enough [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni your friends might start trying to kill you. Or they won't.
- Hello darkness, my old friendI've come to talk with you againBecause a vision softly creepingLeft its seeds while I was sleepingAnd the vision that was planted in my brainStill remains,Within the sound of silence
- Wait a minute, that's awesome.
Of course, the whole point of parthenogenesis is that there's no sexual intercourse involved, but the thought of a young child giving birth still dredges up some serious Squick, sex or none.
- As evidenced by this very page.
- That is the "Toran Plague" fallacy from Deltora Quest. You say X sent you the deadly plague, then use the plague as evidence X sent it to you. YOU LIE.
- Speaking of Deltora Quest...
- That is the "Toran Plague" fallacy from Deltora Quest. You say X sent you the deadly plague, then use the plague as evidence X sent it to you. YOU LIE.
- The Operator symbol is the Yellow Sign.
- Jossed. There are still fans.
- In the Japanese continuity, Eggman's been Eggman and the place has been Earth since 1991, and Amy predates Knuckles.
Ever since Haruhi, at least two of the cast members of their series has been plagued by misfortune (e.g. Aya Hirano) or the series has bombed (e.g. Nichijou). To wit...
- Four of the Lucky Star cast members made the former Real Life The Woobie list (Aya Hirano, Kaori Fukuhara, Emiri Katou and Shizuka Hasegawa), for lackluster subsequent careers, Fan Dumb issues, medical issues and being cast as Kyubey. Also The Musical (yes, they were planning one) was cancelled after the 2011 earthquake.
- With K On, Ayana Taketatsu suffered a slight backlash from the Fan Dumb when she was found to have a boyfriend (via a photo taken some time ago). Star Aki Toyosaki suffered an even harsher one when she was found to be living with a boyfriend...via a stalker. This seemed to lead to a sort of Break the Cutie moment for the usually fluffy Aki. As of November 2011 it remains to be seen how this will affect The Movie (as well as Aki and K-On costar Minako Kotobuki's idol group Sphere).
- Nothing too bad has befallen the Nichijou cast, but unfortunately ratings and DVD sales for the show have been way down.
- The CLANNAD cast seems to be all right...for now.
- With Aya Hirano's troubles (and Endless Eight), the once-lucrative Haruhi franchise is moribund as of May 2012. And on top of all that, now Yuko Goto (Mikuru), is taking a 2.5-month hiatus due to an autoimmune disorder. This could very well affect production of the planned continuation of Hidamari Sketch and the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movies...meaning that the curse has now spread to Studio Shaft.
Is this perhaps the revenge of Yutaka Yamamoto (the director fired from Lucky Star)?
Jay's second divorce was indeed from that Mexican flight attendant. However, the reason why he's dating Jennifer is because Alice was murdered by her Jealous Ex Cyrus. Jay never mentions her because he's still depressed.
Obviously, Kyon is Ted.
- Who's Patrick?
- Koizumi, obviously.
- I was thinking more about the one who broke up the greatest rock bank of all time: THE BEATLES. It still fits, maybe too well?
In itself this isn't that troubling, except for the fact that genre conventions and the godlike fetishistic will of the Audience are keeping these girls from being diagnosed and getting services that could help them - but what if their coordination issues are symptoms of something degenerative, e.g., Motor Neurone Disease?
- You do know that Motor Neurone Disease results in the helplessness factor of said Moe girl being multiplied by up to Eleven Billion. For example, you do know that Motor Neurone Disease results in complete and uttermost inability to defend oneself and escape from exploitation by various kinds of unspeakable and disgusting horrors, only capable of nothing but merely tears of despair while said torments are being performed excruciatingly upon her... and that means a woobie cash cow.
- For additional Poison Oak factor, Kisaragi knew she was ill, and that played a role in her mind-boggling lack of self-preservation. Either the stress of living with an uncurable terminal illness that she couldn't talk to anyone about had turned her into a Stepford Smiler too emotionally exhausted to care much about saving herself, or she was consciously or unconsciously suicidal.
Or, all that is left of him. He calls Candace "Kevin" because he forgot Elise's name, or maybe Kevin was the original bearer of Iblis.
- Alternatively, the Zebra from Phineas and Ferb is an Eldritch Abomination in disguise, ala Nyarlathotep. Beneath the sugary idealism of Phineas and Ferb is a Lovecraftian nightmare story. However, this does explain the weird science and Alien Geometries that the Phineas and Ferb-iverse is composed of.
Yes, yes. In here ascension Madoka has pledged allegiance to Obama- I mean Tzeentch.
- Bonus point for Tzeentch being the god of magic, and Madoka herself can make up for the scheming by beating Kyubey in his own game.
- Maybe all the Puella Magi pledge allegiance to chaos gods. Sayaka serves Khorne. Mami Nurgle. Kyoko Slaanesh.
- Who's Homuhomu then?
- Very likely to be the God-Emperor. After all, Homuhomu protects Madoka all the time, and The Emperor Protects (also, both might be time lords).
- Who's Homuhomu then?
- But with the Jesus allegory, Madoka also has to be the Emperor.... therefore, Tzeentch is the Emperor!
- Though the Emperor did attempt to give Humanity Hope and Change......
Not only is she crucified to a time-lock (like Homuhomu before her, but worse), she's also Mind locked into an eternal Wide-Eyed Idealist, because of the "Hope and despair balance out to zero" thing that trumps even Thermodynamics, thus she is trapped in a self-imposed, celestial-scale, eternal And I Must Scream situation she can never choose get out of.
- In the finale, didn't Mami and Homura already comment that what Madoka is going to do is a Fate Worse than Death?
- Well the YMMV page did say: "Think out the worst possible logical scenario that can happen, and Urobuchi will top it."
- Perhaps the Incubators from the original timeline went insane ala Agent Smith, and became the Old Ones stuck in their programming to cause despair in contrast to the new Incubators?
- On a more positive note this thoroughly fits in with the theme of Madoka as a wide-eyed Messianic Archetype.
- then who's Celestia?
- Visser Three
- Nah, she's the Ellimist. Trixie is Visser Three. Nightmare moon is Crayak, Discord is the powerful creature in The Familiar that never gets mentioned again, Gilda is Taylor and Derpy is Visser One (it's never the ones you suspect).
- Don't be silly. That was caused by Madoka turning into a witch. The "recovery operations" have only temporarily delayed her systematic annihilation of humanity.
- Well, he did push her over the edge and make her become a witch, so From a Certain Point of View...
- Trollestia: suddenly it all makes sense.
- “Hey, you created me. I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!”
- Celestia's horn glow in "A Bird in the Hoof" uses Luna's color. Even if they're separate people, they could possibly pass for each other.
- No! No! That's not true. That's impossible!
- Search yousa feelings, you *know* it to be true!
- No! Nooooooooo!
(As if the original weren't depressing enough... Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go cry.)
- Alternatively, Madoka Magica is an allegory for human trafficking.
- Artist as109's horrific, tearjerking pictures on Danbooru (not gonna provide a link; it's highly NSFW and may raise Loli Con issues with the editors) shows what was going on behind the Mushroom Samba imagery.
- No, it'll obviously happen on December 21, 2012.
- Nope, it's okay. It was Discord's magic that turned them like that. It was so signify that the character's weren't themselves. They didn't look like that to Twilight, only to us. Or it would have been painfully obvious something was amiss.
- Not necessarily. Keep in mind that Spike said, "Twilight! Why is everyone looking so... grey?"
- Ah, but it could have been a simple expression to point the changes in personality, not in physical appearance. Granted, that's not exactly a phrase one would hear, but it could be a bastardized version found only in Equestria. Anyway, it wasn't looking at Discord that turned the Mane 6, it was a specific act of magic by Discord that turned them. And they never actually turned into or showed signs of becoming statues, only bad friends.
- So far in the series, all the Equestrian sayings have been our regular old sayings but twisted around into a horse pun. If Spike was just using a turn of phrase, he'd have said something more along the lines of, "Twilight! Why's everyone looking so... neigh?" (Get it? Like nay-sayers?)
- And besides! Think of it this way: it's a given that Celestia and Luna are weeping angels because they originally turned Discord to stone. Because he turned to stone, he turned into a weeping angel. Then, after he turned the Mane 6 grey (symbolically turning them to stone and therefore weeping angels) they turned him into stone! And thus the Cycle of the Weeping Angels was fulfilled.
- Ah, but there have been no instances of any Weeping Angel type entities, save for the Cockatrice, but that's a mythological creature that has always had the ability to turn things into stone. And Celestia and Luna turned Discord into stone with magic, and Discord turned the Mane 6 into stone with magic, too. With the Weeping Angels, it's a natural process.
- That's actually the premise of this fanfiction.
That sudden reconciliation with Vera in the last episode didn't actually happen. In reality, Norm finally lost it and murdered Vera, then began to hallucinate that she was still alive and they were a happy couple again.
How dare you mention M. Night and Uwe Boll in the same sentence! Well, you can go ahead and laugh at me. But there's a special hell for those mindless lemmings who bought the critics' hate on Shyamalan and parroted it like it was gospel!
- It's not that Shyamalan is perfect. He's not. Just the victim of so much hate for no apparent reason.
- There is a rumor going around that after the Normandy crashes on an unknown planet at the end of the game food supplies are low. Now krogan, who are two members of the crew, eat anything when hungry. So the implication is they will start killing the other characters for food until they are put down...if they can be put down.
- Jiminy Cricket was meant to play Homura's role to some extent; to show Pinocchio right and wrong, and keep him away from temptation. However Goddess Haruhi-sama (sorry, Madokami is just Vice-Goddess who got lucky, if you will) has a thing for plans and she intended for Pinocchio to go to Pleasure Island, lead all unchanged boys out of there, and then lead a donkey revolt. Unfortunately, at least in the movie we saw, Jiminy failed in that mission (or if Haruhi is a cruel and capricious Yahweh, then JUST AS PLANNED), so like Homuhomu, he'll have to travel back in time and start it all over again. However, he's repeated this Endless Recursion of Time so many times, his brain has broken, so it always seems new to him at the beginning.
- Now if only the Coachman could get Kamijou somehow...
The good news: By the eternal suffering of both Kyon and Madoka do we earn our salvation. The bad news: You Madokamists and all moe girls should incinerate thy merchandise and start being assholes lest ye join them. No species exceptions (e.g. Fluttershy from the Equine species, but anthropomorphic and moe enough for the taste of Haruhi).
- And of course, The Haruhiahweh is royally pissed that Madoka has surpassed her show as the best-selling anime of all time. Look closer: the article linked above was posted on March 2, 2011. Guess what happened in Japan just a week later?
- And all the other Witches and cute moe-girls join her in Hell.
- And they already have Pedosnake (Kaa). No wonder Bagheera wants Mowgli to leave the jungle...
