* AliensInCardiff: Multiple examples, some because of things like elements of a Fictional franchise appearing on places where it was filmed (such as Hardwick, New Jersey being terrorized by [[Film/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]), some because of the thematic irony (most if not all Elm Streets on the planet getting plagued by [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], with some managing to keep him away by changing their names, and some... not being that lucky), some just because (such as UsefulNotes/CostaRica getting a pocket dimension over on the province of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanacaste_Province Guanacaste]] that hosts [[Anime/{{Naruto}} the Hidden Village of Konoha]]).

* PunkPunk: The whole breadth of this Trope is represented on The Line in one way or another: there is ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}''-style ScavengedPunk outside of civilization (and the original ''Film/MadMax1'' brand over on The Outback); within civilization it is CyberPunk or PostCyberPunk (with the occasional splatter of CapePunk, FantasticNoir and TheQuincyPunk); London and Venice have become SteamPunk meccas; while East Germany/[[Franchise/FullMetalAlchemist Neo-Amestris]] (as well as other spots like [[WesternAnimation/{{Talespin}} Cape Suzette]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Republic City]]) are full-blown DieselPunk and the local versions of the SeriousBusiness shows could be considered dabbling on "OlympusMons[=/=]MyLittlePanzer"-Punk...

* UnfortunateImplications: InUniverse with Neo-Amestris. The whole of East Germany has become overwritten with Amestris (with elements of other DieselPunk series, like ''Anime/AttackOnTitan'', including a 300-foot-tall Berlin Wall). Which includes such things like the President calling himself "Fuhrer". While ''Franchise/FullMetalAlchemist'' Fictions don't really see a problem with it, Reals on both sides of the Wall have a bit [[BerserkButton of an issue]] [[NoSwastikas regarding]] the ''[[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII last]]'' time someone in power in Germany called himself "[[USefulNotes/AdolfHitler Fuhrer]]"...

Some stories, like ''Fanfic/TheShikigamiRangerAndTheMonsterMashers'', even showcase full-blown battle sequences that are as insanely ReferenceOverdosed as the climactic fight of ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne''.

* FantasticLegalWeirdness: Multiple things the law has had to deal with now that everything has gone insane.... to provide some examples:
** Superheroes, once registered, can testify in court without needing to showcase their true identities (it is pretty obvious that some of the big-shots like Superman already have them well-known, however).
** Ghosts and ghouls can potentially testify on their own murders or do changes to their wills even after having passed on... however, they need to be extensively tested on such things as their mental capacity (in terms of intelligence--many ghosts are little more than ultra-spooky voice messages or pretty animalistic) and mental stability (so it can be certified that they won't go all ''Film/TheGrudge'' right in the middle of the courtroom), plus power levels (a ghost that is a PersonOfMassDestruction needs extra security in place) and how viable they are as a witness in the regular sense (because lack of information and prejudice can mould people's perceptions even beyond the grave). This has been called "[[PersonAsVerb The]] ''Literature/AnitaBlake'' Rule" on the street, and one of the people who provides services doing this testing are the Ghostbusters.
** DeathIsCheap (well, ''less expensive'' at least. DeathIsDramatic, nevertheless) enough that "Do Not Resuscitate" orders now have two levels: "Do Not Resuscitate" (meaning no ''[[ExactWords immediate]]'' resuscitation--the person with this degree of order is agreeing to be resurrected in some way afterwards, if circumstances allow it) and DN2R2 ("Do Not Resuscitate Nor Resurrect") Orders, which are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin and now pretty stand for what the old DNR orders did.

** And another example that overlaps with EvilMeScaresMe (or more like "depresses me") appears on "''[[http://marcoasalazarm.deviantart.com/art/CORELINE-REGULAR-DINOSAUR-PARK-Story-One-WIP-541646509 Regular Dinosaur Park]]''", where an Alternate version of [[Franchise/JurassicPark John Hammond]] (a CompositeCharacter of the [[Film/JurassicPark film]] (and "''[[Videogame/JurassicParkTrespasser Trespasser]]''" video game) canons and the LEGOAdaptationGame appearance) mentions his disappointment at being occasionally confused with his {{Jerkass}} [[Literature/JurassicPark book]] version.

* LovecraftLite: [[ZigZaggedTrope Many people don't get lucky]], and it ''may'' take some preparation (or ''a lot'' of desperation, insanity, or balls), but it is quite possible to give beings as "lovecraftian" as [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] or ''[[TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man]]'' a [[BoomHeadshot literal faceful of boomstick]] ([[ChainsawGood or chainsaw]], if you feel brutal enough).

* ArmsDealer: Many of them work on the setting, but an occasional secondary character is an Alternate version of [[Anime/TenchiMuyo Washu Hakubi]] (the OVA, PhysicalGod, older-than-her-home-universe Washu Hakubi) that has created her own MegaCorp ("Hakubi Customs"). The short story ''FanFic/RegularDinosaurPark'' showcases ADayInTheLimelight for her, in which she sells a whole lot of bang-bang to the security forces of ''Jurassic freaking Park'' (and the scene where she shows her wares is explicitly meant to be a ShoutOut to other 'weapons selling' scenes on this page, in particular [[Film/IronMan2 Justin Hammer]]'s and "[[Film/TaxiDriver Easy Andy]]"'s). On some other appearances she acts like a for-hire {{Expy}} of [[Franchise/JamesBond Q (the one that works for MI-6)]].

* AppropriatedAppellation: The "[[http://marcoasalazarm.deviantart.com/art/CORELINE-INFORMATION-PACKET-THE-PARIAH-GENE-579094276 Pariah Gene]]" (a mutation that nullifies powers wide-spread in an area that becomes wider the stronger the carrier's emotions become) was called in such a way because the first-ever case of a user "erupting" and using said powers happened in such a manner (dispelling a ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40K'' Daemon) that people assumed it was just a surge in [[http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Blank_(Psychic) Psychic Blanks (or "Pariahs")]] from that universe. It was later discovered that it was a pretty different mutation (and the work of the CLULESS Virus), but the name had long since stuck.

** The first draft of the OpeningNarration was essentially a modified version of the TabletopGame/Warhammer40K opening narration ("In the Grim Darkness Of The Dark Future, there is Only War"). It still has some of its feeling remaining.
