"Blending epic fantasy and fairy tales like you’ve never seen it before!"

''[[https://talesfantastic.wordpress.com/about-2/ Ash and Cinders - An Epic Fairy Tale]]'' by Connor M. Perry is a EpicFantasy/FairyTale WebSerialNovel that follows the half-Nymph Cinder, her brother, and [[MentorArchetype their mentor]] as they race through the [[AlienGeometries Ever-Changing Land]] to rescue their half-brother from the Wizard that's abducted him.
The series is still in progress and has been updating once every Wednesday since March, 2016.


[[folder: The series contains the following tropes]]
* AntiMagic: Wizards have the ability to stop the Ever-Changing Land from changing in certain areas.
* BewaretheNiceOnes: Cinder first stands up for herself is when [[TakingYouwithMe she threatens to kill the Forest Queen and the rest of her kingdom if they refuse to give her her brother back.]]
* BlessedwithSuck: Cinder and Azoc just go from one horrible situation to the next. From their mother straight up being used for firewood, to an WickedStepmother, to various creatures across the land that want to kill them.
* TheCallKnowswhereYouLive: If not for the Traveling Dark, Orym would've had to drag Cinder out into the Ever-Changing Land.
* CrypticConversation: Every single time Orym and Azoc get page time together. There's an entire chapter devoted to it.
* CoolSword: Cinder gets a blade that's made out of enchanted ice that can freeze people. She's also nicknamed Orym's sword the giant's dagger.
* ElementalPowers: Everything in the Ever-Changing Land has some level of control over the element that they are. Even Cinder has the ability to control wood.
* EldritchAbomination: The Traveling Dark. Although they engage in a badass sword fight, Cinder has consistent problems with trying to conceive what they look like.
* EstablishingcharacterMoment: Thavian notably limps across a frozen river, throws his wolfskin cloak and staff aside, and the first thing he does is "a wordless, gleeful cry" before conjuring whiskey bottle
* EvilMinions:[[OurOrcsAreDifferent The Stonewights]]
* TheFairFolk: The Forest Queen is literally bolted to her own thrown by its branches, forcing her to move the branches of her throne in order to make any movement at all.
* FetchQuest: The main plot to chase Thavian and bring Benn home.
* ForbiddenZone: The Ever-Changing Land. [[CalltoAdventure but that's not going to stop them]]
* KnifeNut: Thavian has yet to be seen with any less than six knives looped through his belt. He's quite fond of using them for intimidation.
* MacGuffin: So far there's been no established reason as to why Thavian wants Benn specifically, but the baby seems to be of some great importance anyway.
* MonsteroftheWeek: In between trying to catch Thavian, the trio tangles with Rock Lords, Forest Queens and all the messes that Thavian leaves in his wake.
* NominalImportance: The only unnamed person who has survived has been the Forest Queen, and she at least had a title.
* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Though not specifically called Orcs, the Stonewights show few signs of intelligence, and tend to kill indiscriminately.
* PowerAtAPrice: It's heavily implied that being a Wizard has some horrible side effects during the CrypticConversation between Thavian and Orym at Gabrien's inn.
* WickedStepmother: Phira treats Cinder and Azoc like workers and threatens to kill Cinder after Benn is abducted.

An Epic Fairy Tale

''[[https://talesfantastic.wordpress.com/about-2/ Ash and Cinders]]'' by Connor M. Perry is a HighFantasy WebSerialNovel that takes place in the Ever-Changing Land. The series is still in progress and has been updating once every Wednesday since March, 2016.

"Blending epic fantasy and fairy tales like you’ve never seen it before!

Cinder has always been a contrary girl, known throughout the Smallwood as argumentative and stubborn. So when her half-brother is abducted by a Wizard, she seeks the help of the village elder to get him back.
But finding her half-brother isn’t easy, and the quest leads Cinder the Ever-Changing Land: a murderous world whose geography changes from moment to moment, and always on a whim. With only her wits, an old man, and her blood brother to aid her, Cinder must survive the Rock Lord, the Wayward Muck, the Long Death and more. She must rescue her brother, and thwart machinations beyond anything she could’ve imagined."

* EvilMinions: Most leaders that the group has encountered so far
** ''[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurOrcsAreDifferent The Rock Lord]] and its Stonewights
** ''[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurFairiesAreDifferent The Forest Queen]]'' and her Shooting Stars
** Grollek and its Mudwights
* TheFaceless: The Traveling Dark. Although, to be fair, Cinder does note that she doesn't so much see them as she does feel their presence

[[folder:Portable]]

* AdvancingBossOfDoom: The first half of the Monarch Crownedbug fight.
* BossRush: Unlocked after beating each boss in the defeat bosses mode. [[spoiler:Man-at-screen and King Puffstool included.]]
* TheBusCameBack: Puffstools return.
* VideoGame3DLeap: With the addition of standard jumping and even a faint few platforming elements, this is considered by some to be the first "full 3D" ''Pikmin'' game (even if it's technically a spinoff), with the previous games being more or less "TwoAndAHalfD."

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rainbow]]

* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: As per the tradition, you can only have up to 100 Pikmin on field. However, you can extend this to 200 after getting a certain special power up encountered late into the game.
* BookEnds: The first area you visit out of the main six areas houses the last major cave... out of the main six areas.
* BossBattle: This game amusingly combines boss battle concepts from ''2'' and ''3''/''Portable''. The bottom floors of each minor cave have a "miniboss;" a boss done in the style of those from the first two games. The major caves, however, have more cinematic, powerful bosses ala the third game and ''Rainbow''[='=]s prequel with a more varried arsonal.
* TheBusCameBack: Bulbmin make a re-appearance, though exclusive to a specific challenge mode.
* EpillepticTrees: Despite being the second game in a row where you take direct control of a Pikmin and its Onion is frequently talking to them, and in spite of the several new types of Pikmin introduced, this game ultimately raises more questions about the things than it answers. One of the most common theories about the TrueFinalBoss? [[spoiler:That the Porkaryote is a heavily mutated Onion. A giant bacteria-looking creature with a deformed face, lava-resistant armored plating, and three vines sticking from it might be related to the Pikmin. Let it sink in.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The boss of one of the two minor caves in Maroon Forest is [[spoiler:a Smokey Progg.]] Guess what the boss of the area's major cave is realted to?
* GameBreaker:
** Sponge Pikmin. When in contact with water, they bloat themselves into square sponge platforms. Unless you're trying to get to an area that's completely submerged or have to battle something on the water, this allows for some major sequence breaks and can let you get several non-flying and non-water-dwelling types to places they're not supposed to go. This also lets you skip most of the water level-changing puzzles of Cobalt Lake, and can even make most water-related bosses (including the [[ThatOneBoss Ringout Wollywog]]. ''Especially'' the Ringout Wollywog.) much easier.
*** They also turn into squares when so much as ''hit'' with water. Watery Blowhog, nothing else immune to it? Just take ''one'' and BAM, instant shield! The only problem is, unlike permanent bodies of water, this wears off instead of being toggled off by whistling them.
** Any transformation-type Pikmin, really. Cloud Pikmin can also make makeshift platforms, only these can be used ''in the air''. [[RiseToTheChallenge Fucshia Factory?]] No problem! Sand Pikmin can rise or lower amounts of sand by a little like the Meerslug from ''3'' or the boss of Desert Ditch. Tan Canyon? Chartreuce Hills? Broken wide open. And just for now there's Paper Pikmin, who are practically invincible if your timing is good and you're not being attacked from two directions at a time.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The [[spoiler:Porkaryote]] is the first final boss in a ''Pikmin'' game that does not seem to have any relatives, counting [[spoiler:the Plasm Wraith as a relative to the Waterwraith.]]
* TheGoomba: Dwarf Red Bulborbs continue the trend for the main game, with Sproingflies filling the role in the Pikmini sections. While Dwarf Red Bulborbs themselves appear in the Pikmini challenges, they are done as slightly more challenging enemies given the weaker strength Pikminis have and the lack of any GoombaStomp.
* {{Leitmotif}}: All seven "major caves" share a leitmotif. They're all heavy remixes of the Twilight River theme from ''3''.
* MemeticMutation: Prior to the game's release, ''Pikmin Portable'' had a meme in the form of [[MundaneMadeAwesome "DEEP WATER!"]] This actually started as a joke to dig ''Portable'' as a "rehash," as "Deep water!" was listed as one of the new features and the only one with an exclamation points. While it wasn't considered a rehash after its release, the emphasis of "Deep water!" led to a small running gag that increased after this game came out. Specifically, when it introduced Cobalt Lake. Which has some '''''really''''' deep water.
* ThatOneBoss:
** The Flare Progg. Remember the Smoky Progg? Good, now make it about two times faster, and give it the ability to fly and shoot out webs that trap Pikmin. Oh, and the webs are on fire, meaning that if you lack any heat-resistant Pikmin who aren't trapped, you likely won't break them free and save them in time.
** The Ringout Wollywog is a tough boss to end a tough major cave of a tough overworld level. Despite its name, the ringout part only applies to you: ''It'' can send ''you and your squad'' flying into a deep pit of watery death, but the creature can simply swim around if you knock it out (getting hit in the deep water ''does'' cause it to lose all of the flunkies for a while, except that they not only make the battle harder, [[AttackItsWeakPoint they make it easier at well]]). It makes tidal waves that knocks you down and hit any non-water breathing Pikmin with water, it pushes down the floating blocks that makes up its arena, and if you stay underneath it during its jump attack for too long, it can wipe out your entire army when it lands. (Those that don't get crushed ''will'' get drowned, unless they're saved by a miracle.)
* ThatOneLevel:
** Out of the major caves,
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While the entire series gets this to some degree, this game fell the biggest victim to it.
** ''The Rainbow of Pikmin'' remodled the cave system from ''Pikmin 2'' a bit. Namely, instead of each sublevel being a completely different area accessed in a linear fashion, you simply fall and rise there like a [=2D=] ''Zelda'' game. [[CaptainObvious But in 3D]]. Because of this, there is a great CheckpointStarvation in contrast to having an auto save after every sublevel.
** There's complaints about the abundance of Pikmin types to use from, with people feeling that it distracts from the feel of the series.
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Pikmini zones, where just one of your Pikmin is sent into a short cave and has to command tinier versions of Pikmin dubbed "Pikmini" that bear no special abilities. It's more of a platformer/beat-em-up hybrid than it is a real time strategy, and while all of them are required to get to [[spoiler:the Summit]], only the ones in Tan Canyon, Silver Tundra, and Fucshia Factory are mandatory for beating the Flare Progg (which, thanks to the cutscene on the end of the day after beating it, is considered by a few to be the fake-FinalBoss with [[spoiler:the Porkaryote]] being the TrueFinalBoss. Speed runners generally consider beating the former requirements for an any% or low% run.)
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: [[spoiler:The Summit. Only unlocked after finally getting every Onion in the island (not counting the Pikmin creator), the overworld itself consists of nothing but a very short trail leading to the place's cave. The cave itself acts as the final dungeon.]]
