History ButtMonkey / FanWorks

* From a meta standpoint, Mass Effect itself is one of these. Almost every time it is involved in a crossover, its characters are on the receiving end of a curbstomp battle and belittled afterwards, even if [[CriticalResearchFailure by]] [[ArtisticLicensePhysics all]] [[ArtisticLicenseEconomics logic]] the curb-stomp should be going the other way.

** Just like Kirby, Chef Pee Pee suffers the most grotesque deaths out there, with most of the other characters killing him all the time, and the plots starring him are destined to make him as miserable and mutilated as possible. He also has an extremely low survival rate.

** Like Sniffles, Petunia suffers some of the nastier deaths. Not to mention, her OCD has directed her to even outright caused her demise on a few occasions, giving her a [[HollywoodHeartAttack heart attack]] in one instance!

** Lifty and Shifty have died on every episode they appeared in, except for ''two'' episodes. This is justified, since the duo are show's biggest jerkasses aside from Eric Cartman, Fliqpy, Mr. Krabs, and sometimes Lumpy.

* If you couldn't have already tell, ''WebAnimation/GoryToons'' is a spoof of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' with a unexpected addition of {{Crossover}}. It goes without saying that the SadistShow and AnyoneCanDie rules still apply, though some examples stand out.

* [[AuthorAvatar James]], the main character, is this in the Literature/{{Worm}}/[[Webcomic/TheGamer Gamer]] crossover story ''Fanfic/CoOpMode''. It's part of the charm of the entire story.

* In ''Fanfic/TheEmiyaClan'', [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Lancer]] is summoned up to help take care of the kids because Gil is getting overburdened with nanny duties. He proceeds to last about fifteen minutes before he gets chucked into a wall by [[SuperStrength Kumako]] and riddled with bullets by [[TheGunslinger Keiko]].
** During the Christmas Special he gets summoned by Zelretch and Alter!Illya as an expendable source of entertainment. Over the course of the day, he gets crushed, impaled, sliced up, burned, frozen, electrified, smashed in the groin, terrified to death, used as a projectile weapon, and several other things. Oh, and when he dies, he gets resummoned immediately, again...and again...and again...and again...

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ToucanLDM?feature=watch ToucanLDM]]'s "X Meets {{WesternAnimation/My Little Pony|FriendshipIsMagic}}" series of videos, Lyra and Bon-Bon are usually portrayed as the butt monkeys whenever they appear. [[RageAgainstTheAuthor They do get their revenge on the author,]] [[https://youtu.be/q3zBiN4QdP4 though.]]
** WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange may also count as well, as Apple Bloom did the one thing no knife could ever do--''kill Orange''.

* In ''Fanfic/OriginStory'', Carol Danvers has an unpleasant personality (albeit, not uncharacteristically so), makes a lot of stupid decisions, and gets a bit of ''RonTheDeathEater'' treatment. The author despises her and considers her unworthy of being called Captain Marvel, though has given a reasonable in universe explanation for a lot of her worst acts.

* ''Roleplay/ScaryNewsOutOfTokyo3'': Since his arrival in Tokyo-3, Fireballed Mage has lost every single job he applies for due to an Angel attack wiping out his workplace. The other characters like to joke that the Angels are attacking ''him''.

* {{Flanderisation}} of Brock's inability to hit on women leads to this in a lot of fan series.

* Fanfic/KhaosOmega loves doing this to Ursula, Harley, Conway, and several others, Ursula in particular due to being the only affected girl. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because of either track records (Giovanni, Cyrus, and Ghetsis), strong {{Jerkass}} personality traits (Paul and Damian), Conway's stalker tendencies, or just being there for being the butt monkey. If a sex-heavy story by Khaos involves Ursula it's almost guaranteed at least one scene will be Ursula being raped.
** Some variants of Ursula end up as such simply because of how many villainous versions have been defeated and captured. One was part of a wrestling-based story where a move by the first major BigBad, Tracy Dennis, proved the victim as truly innocent like she was intending, and another willingly entered prostitution with a rape preference to make up for the track record.

[[AC: {{Manga/Saki}}]]

* Meta example: In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfics, Rainbow Dash is as prone to TheWorfEffect as in the show (which is lampshaded in the ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' crossover ''Bridled Fury''). She's also frequently the DesignatedVictim in {{Dark Fic}}s such as ''Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}}'', or otherwise prone to being injured, crippled, or even killed off for the sake of drama.

** This gets taken UpToEleven during the Christmas Special where he gets summoned by Zelretch and Alter!Illya as an expendable source of entertainment. Over the course of the day, he gets crushed, impaled, sliced up, burned, frozen, electrified, smashed in the groin, terrified to death, used as a projectile weapon, and several other things. Oh, and when he dies, he gets resummoned immediately, again...and again...and again...and again...

* In ''New Champion Evangelion'', a fic written by someone who doesn't like [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]] in general and Shinji in particular, Shinji gets this treatment taken UpToEleven. He is often insulted and physically abused by the AuthorAvatar Ekaj, and in one scene, Misato, while trying to get him to come back to NERV at the train station like in the anime, openly tells him she hates him and only needs him as a pilot.

* The Send Your {{Original Character}}s fanfic ''[[Fanfic/PokemonTakeTwo Pokémon: Take Two]]'' has several. Raion, the main character, who goes through BreakTheHaughty and HumiliationConga, Samuel, a SmugSnake and Team Rocket grunt who can't really do much but follow Sara and Inkay's lead, and, probably the biggest butt-monkey of them all, ''[[UpToEleven the authoress]]''.

* To a given extent, [[TokenGoodTeammate Linda]] in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7292991/1/Xanatos Xanatos]]'', having been on the receiving end of a HeroicBSOD, an [[SkirtsAndLadders accidental]] PantyShot, [[FelonyMisdemeanor moral discontent]], and [[DrivesLikeCrazy Matt's driving]].

* [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Steve?]] has, thus far in ''Fanfic/DigBuildLive'', died four times on the first few nights (to the same Skeleton, no less), been assigned humiliating and degrading tasks by the Testificates (he at one point had to chase a chicken in a chicken suit, which he couldn't get in time, forcing him to hide in the well at night), and then he loses his home because someone bought the land his house was at.

* [[AuthorAvatar James]], the main character, is this in the Literature/{{Worm}}/[[Webcomic/{{The Gamer}} Gamer]] crossover story ''Fanfic/CoOpMode''. It's part of the charm of the entire story.
* Palpatine is clearly one from Wolf's Fanfic/CrazinessCandyJediKnightsAndWhat. [[AuthorAvatar Wolf]] despises him, so therefore the universe does as well.

* VideoGame/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}} is usually the butt monkey in the ''FanFic/PaperMarioX'' series. He gets tortured by water in each story and gets into a really bad situation before going on the team. [[spoiler:He even got himself married to Amy, of all people! Amy insits they're husband and wife throughout the third story (even though we know what happened), which really gets on Sonic's nerves, but he's a butt monkey, what're gonna do?]]

* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'' (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' WesternAnimation, [[{{Series}} TV Series]], and ComicBooks.)

* L in a ''FanFic/ACharmedLife'' Light ensures that the taskforce will blame him for [[FakingTheDead Light's apparent suicide]], Matsuda also gets a passing mention, and [[CallItKarma Light himself is this quite frequently.]]

* [[CreepyChild Near]] of ''FanFic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami'' is this to everyone. He gets [[DeathIsCheap killed three times within two chapters]], and then they [[KickTheDog steal his legos]] so he won't get any presents for Christmas. The author says that this is justified because of Near once using a Blind Note on Light to stop him from seeing a naked girl, and also tricking Light into killing 'Tailer swift' with the Death Note.

* In the Disgaea fic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6984913/1/Disgaea_Jewel_of_the_gods Disgaea Jewel of the gods]] Epic is this. But it's not anything special seeing as his whole species, the prinny, are as well.

* In Fanfic/TheSagesDisciple, Kayneth has proven to be the story's biggest one. All of Crow's plans have somehow curved back around to involve him in some way.

* In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5342030/1/Supplemental-Rules-and-Regulations Supplemental Rules and Regulations]], Envy gets beaten with a cast-iron skillet, run over by a tank, blasted with mustard gas, and burned with a flamethrower. One would think they'd have the sense to start steering clear of [[TheSquadette Maria Ross]].

* Britney in ''FanFic/MyImmortal'' is generally picked on and abused by everyone. She, of course, deserves this because [[FanHater she has different tastes in music than the main characters]] and is [[FelonyMisdemeanor therefore evil]].

* Carlos in ''Webcomic/{{Company0051}}'', a ''Halo'' {{Fan Webcomic|s}}. From being chewed out by the Sarge to being the first one to drop out in the boys' DrinkingGame, it's clear that his only place is as the local wimp.

* Princess Luna in [[Fanfic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]], who manages to [[RunningGag get forgotten by nearly all the characters, including the narrator herself,]] and even by King Sombra while she was currently fighting him. King Sombra manages to make a very large speech cursing Celestia, before hastily adding a "and Luna too, I suppose", at the end. Is it any wonder why she turned evil later on?

* TD of ''FanFic/TheNonBronyverse'' often ends up in all manner of unfortunate situations. Sometimes they're his fault, but more often than not it's because the universe seems to hate him.

* Meta example: In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfics, Rainbow Dash is as prone to TheWorfEffect as in the show (which is lampshaded in the ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' crossover ''Bridled Fury''). She's also frequently the DesignatedVictim in {{Dark Fic}}s such as ''FanFic/{{Cupcakes}}'', or otherwise prone to being injured, crippled, or even killed off for the sake of drama.

* Oshawott is hit hard by this in Fanfic/BellesFartingProblem, becoming the victim of a RunningGag where he's crushed by a tree after Belle/Bianca farts, and once getting [[AssShove shoved up Bianca's ass]], an incident which completely damaged his sense of smell beyond repair.

** Across the whole writing group for 'FanFic/{{Pokeumans}}'', the MSN Gang. Every single {{continuation}} Pokeumans story set in the Long Island base will involve the MSN Gang getting beaten up at some point.
* The Send Your {{Original Character}}s fanfic ''[[PokemonTakeTwo Pokémon: Take Two]]'' has several. Raion, the main character, who goes through BreakTheHaughty and HumiliationConga, Samuel, a SmugSnake and Team Rocket grunt who can't really do much but follow Sara and Inkay's lead, and, probably the biggest butt-monkey of them all, ''[[UpToEleven the authoress]]''.

* In ''FanFic/TenRandomCharacters'', Red tends to fall into this trope. Just to name a few examples, he is shipped with Pit, not invited to Ike and Roy's hypothetical wedding, (nearly) attacked by Mewtwo, knocked unconscious by Peach, made the judge of Palutena and Kirby's cooking contest, bitten by Jigglypuff, made fun of by Mewtwo, threatened by Dark Pit, and made the subject of a fanfiction of Peach's. And that's only within the span of twenty four hours.

* In ''FanFic/KyonBigDamnHero'', [[spoiler: Ryouko has been turned into this due to being transformed into [[SuperDeformed "Achakura"]].]]
* Emiri is such a ButtMonkey in ''FanFic/YouGotHaruhiRolled'' that a whole arc is about her becoming emo once she realizes this.

** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries Jaden Yuki]] also gets a lot of it, especially from Yami and [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Yusei]]. Heck, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX in general is practically hated by everybody in-universe, [[Main/UnpopularPopularCharacter but fans out-universe seem have completely opposite feelings about abridged Jaden]].

[[AC: MyLittlePony]]

* In ''FanFic/TheDifferenceOneManCanMake'', Maester Gareth is this to Harry's Clan due to him trying to "civilize" them. [[spoiler:He later gives up and it gets somewhat better for him.]]

* Sometimes in ''FanFic/TheInfiniteLoops'', Loopers will take vengeance on nonlooping rivals by making them into this.

* In ''FanFic/MyLittleAnimaniacs'', Applejack becomes Skippy's personal one.

* Princess Luna in [[FanFic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]], who manages to [[RunningGag get forgotten by nearly all the characters, including the narrator herself,]] and even by King Sombra while she was currently fighting him. King Sombra manages to make a very large speech cursing Celestia, before hastily adding a "and Luna too, I suppose", at the end. Is it any wonder why she turned evil later on?

* ''FanFic/HerInnerDemons'': ''Viciously'' deconstructed with Sci-Twi. As she spells out to her former classmates, the torments and mistreatment she went through during the Friendship Games (and even well before the Friendship Games) were what made her vengeful enough to become [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Midnight Sparkle]].

* ''FanFic/TheSomewhatCrackedMindOfUchihaItachi'':

* In ''FanFic/ThisBites'', Ironically, [[MadeOfPlasticine Cross]] is this to the Straw Hats, especially after his antics which oft lead him being the target of either Nami or Vivi's [[MegatonPunch ire]]. However, ever since taking Dr. Kureha's [[SuperEmpowering vitamins]], Cross has upgraded to IronButtMonkey, where he has withstood many an attack that should've killed him. Cross even lampshades it:

* Oshawott is hit hard by this in FanFic/BellesFartingProblem, becoming the victim of a RunningGag where he's crushed by a tree after Belle/Bianca farts, and once getting [[AssShove shoved up Bianca's ass]], an incident which completely damaged his sense of smell beyond repair.
* Mike the Ditto in ''FanFic/{{Pokeumans}}''. As if Starr hitting him repeatedly for being annoying/inappropriate wasn't enough, later on he starts getting everything up to and including being frozen. Then again, [[ThePrankster sometimes]] [[LeeroyJenkins he asks for it]].

* ''FanFic/AshesOfThePast'': The Oaks. Professor Oak is often the victim of the antics of Ash's Pokémon, who are every bit as insane as he is (if not more so), while if something bad is happening, chances are that it's happening to Gary.

* ''FanFic/ARabbitAmongWolves'': Perry. There is a running gag of him getting punched by the group's females and his generally not given much respect.

* Mary Jane Watson, the title character of ''[[FanFic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]''. She grows up in a broken home, has constant money problems, has trouble keeping her grades up because of her TripleShifter tendencies, her parents' boyfriends tend to hate her, becomes the target of a public hate campaign-with threats of sexual violence-against her alter ego, has had more than one villain become a superpowered StalkerWithACrush, often misses out on good acting and modelling work because of other commitments, has been fired or nearly fired from multiple jobs due to showing up late, is drenched several times by {{Roadside Wave}}s, and is plagued with constant feelings of guilt and frustration stemming from it all.

[[AC: Unsorted]]
* [[Roleplay/CrossRegion Pikachu]] is this. He never stays concious after one hit and once knocked himself out by jumping after a submerged target and electrocuting himself. This was [[EpicFail after said target had already lost.]]
* In ''FanFic/TheEmiyaClan'', [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Lancer]] is summoned up to help take care of the kids because Gil is getting overburdened with nanny duties. He proceeds to last about fifteen minutes before he gets chucked into a wall by [[SuperStrength Kumako]] and riddled with bullets by [[TheGunslinger Keiko]].
** This gets taken UpToEleven during the Christmas Special where he gets summoned by Zelretch and Alter!Illya as an expendable source of entertainment. Over the course of the day, he gets crushed, impaled, sliced up, burned, frozen, electrified, smashed in the groin, terrified to death, used as a projectile weapon, and several other things. Oh, and when he dies, he gets resummoned immediately, again...and again...and again...and again...
* [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Steve?]] has, thus far in ''FanFic/DigBuildLive'', died four times on the first few nights (to the same Skeleton, no less), been assigned humiliating and degrading tasks by the Testificates (he at one point had to chase a chicken in a chicken suit, which he couldn't get in time, forcing him to hide in the well at night), and then he loses his home because someone bought the land his house was at.
* ''Roleplay/ScaryNewsOutOfTokyo3'': Since his arrival in Tokyo-3, Fireballed Mage has lost every single job he applies for due to an Angel attack wiping out his workplace. The other characters like to joke that the Angels are attacking ''him''.
** Meanwhile, Draco Light winds up getting locked in the bathroom during Angel attacks several times in a row. He stops being annoyed about it when it saves his life on one occasion. [[spoiler:He eventually dies in the same bathroom, bleeding to death after having been shot.]]
* In the ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' fanfic ''Fanfic/GhostsAndDreams'' Catelyn Tully has things rough: her Sept is constantly vandalized, leading to rumors that it might be cursed (in a way it is, since the ghosts of past Starks hate having a Sept in their ancestral home and will keep attacking it until is torn down); the servants and ghosts all hate her, Rhaenys had set Balerion on her more than once, and then her husband's new direwolf takes their old bedroom as its den, forcing them to sleep apart for a time. In the more recent chapters she is slowly losing Ned's respect and maybe even his affection. WordOfGod admits to hating Catelyn, so this shouldn't be all that surprising.

* Alex is this in Fanfic/ThePortal. He gets pulled into the Dragon Realms and turned into a dragon. Shortly after his transformation, his best friend knocks him unconscious, he gets threatened with death by Storm, then his iPod almost gets destroyed by a young Earth dragon. The poor guy just can't catch a break.

* ''Fanfic/OneDayAtATime'': Rose Wilson. Nothing ''ever'' goes right for Rose. Every time she tries to get into a fight she's defeated in a quick and humiliating fashion.

* Carlos in ''Webcomic/{{Company0051}}'', a ''Halo'' FanWebcomic. From being chewed out by the Sarge to being the first one to drop out in the boys' DrinkingGame, it's clear that his only place is as the local wimp.
