History FanFic / WhatInsertion

* ForWantOfANail: Inuyasha and Curtis being transported into Phibrizzo's mind and intervening on his behalf after he summons the Lord of Nightmares sets the story in motion.

Inuyasha's about to get his wish, and Curtis is about to get his material... in ways they don't expect, starting with their relocation to the mind of Hellmaster Phibrizzo towards the end of ''[[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Slayers Next]]''. Stuck in twin metaphysical (and from their standpoint, literal) chambers within the mazoku's mind--with Curtis appearing and disappearing depending on whether or not he is awake in the real world--they work to keep Phibrizzo alive past the confrontation with the Lord of Nightmares and sane through his adventures elsewhere.

* RapunzelHair: Dolphin's hair is noted to be so long that if she tried walking backwards while it was out of its twin ponytails, she'd trip and fall. A later chapter confirms that it is nine feet long.

* TheSpeechless: This trope is zigzagged in the case of Deep Sea Dolphin following her transfer to Cerulean City. As long as she's underwater, she can communicate normally. Outside of it, only water-type Pokemon can hear her; otherwise, everyone—herself included—can't hear a single thing she says, forcing her to rely on a notepad or signs[[note]] the latter after spending some time with Genma Saotome[[/note]] to make herself understood.

** Phibrizzo poking fun at the shrunken Shiho by alternatively calling her by her [[DubNameChange English]] ''and'' Japanese names.

* TeenGenius:
** Wanda Fitzgerald. Of course, considering [[Anime/TenchiMuyo who she is supposed to be...]]
** The head of Project: Clandestine.

* StalkerWithACrush: Azusa towards Phibrizzo, to the point where she actively chases after him the moment she sees him. It's likely she just finds him cute instead of romantic, as she constantly refers to him as "Julien", but he doesn't know that.

* RunningGag: In early chapters, Phibrizzo would repeatedly hit his head on stuff. Later on, after he obtained Flareon, this shifted to said Pokemon drinking Dolphin's coffee whenever she wasn't around to see it.

'''What''' ''Insertion?'' is an ongoing Self-Insert MegaCrossover fanfic written by Curtis Wildcat starting in early 2005. Currently on hiatus.

* ContinuityNod: References to several events in Pokemon Chronicles and Misty's brief trip to the Hoenn region are made, as is Conan's Moonlight Sonata case.

* TheDreaded: Azusa Shiratori of all people is this to ''The Black Organization''. Of course, she isn't aware of their existence.

* TheSpeechless: This trope is zigzagged in the case of Deep Sea Dolphin following her transfer to Cerulean City. As long as she's underwater, she can communicate normally. Outside of it, only water-type Pokemon can hear her; otherwise, everyone—herself included—can't hear a single thing she says, forcing her to rely on a notepad or signs to make herself understood.

* GoKartingWithBowser: By Phibrizzo's word, Zelas and Luna Inverse have this relation; instead of plotting ways to kill each other, they do things like play brass rackets and just generally hang out. What prevents this from being a VillainousFriendship is that they don't consider each other friends by any stretch: Zelas developed a measure of respect for Luna when she stared down death and asked if it wanted spiced chicken or not.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Intense heat and flames make Dolphin nearly useless.

* AuthorAvatar: Curtis, natch.
* BerserkButton:
** Do not call Phibrizzo "Phibby-chan"; doing so makes him angry enough to create a BattleAura.
** On the more serious side, do not refer to Inuyasha as a monster.
* CaffeineBulletTime: Phibrizzo, whenever he consumes sugar, experiences an influx of energy that both speeds him up and turns him into a [[LightningBruiser heavy hitter.]] Being inconvenient for everyday use, this means that any sugary drinks and snacks are either saved for emergencies or used in ''very'' small doses.

* DreamLand: From Curtis's perspective, his time in Phibrizzo's mind is this. He wakes up there whenever he falls asleep at night in the real world. Eventually he starts taking advantage of this to do research on topics pertaining to the setting.

* GrandTheftMe: Both Inuyasha and Curtis actively indulge in this, the former for his nightly criminal hunts and the latter to keep Phibrizzo from shooting off his mouth in stressful situations.
* KillItWithFire: Phibrizzo's Dark Harsh attack. Doubles as {{Hellfire}}.
* KillingIntent: Phibrizzo is able to manifest it when he's angry enough, and it can be detected by those with proper ki senses.

* MindHive: This happens to Phibrizzo against his will due to a wish Inuyasha made on the Shikon no Tama. The wish transplanted him and Curtis into twin chambers hollowed out within the mazoku's mind, and the both of them can move about freely within them and interact with things they find; this in turn effects Phibrizzo's immediate reality, much to his constant irritation.

* OutsideContextProblem: Inuyasha and Hellmaster Phibrizzo are this to the Black Organization. Inuyasha is tough enough on his own to stop, even though knives and bullets would still be able to injure him if they hit. When borrowing Phibrizzo's body, it becomes a different story altogether. Age-reducing drugs and Agasa's inventions aside, that world is still mostly realistic in nature; between Inuyasha's general combat ability and usage of Tessaiga paired with Phibrizzo's NighInvulnerable body and teleportation, the Organization has no answer to him whatsoever [[spoiler: and is eventually forced to stay out of his way until such a time that they can find a countermeasure.]]

* RealityWarper: Curtis, to an extent. As long as he is within his chamber, he can create anything within the limits of his imagination (although he primarily goes for soft drinks and video games). When he's in control of Phibrizzo's body, he is deprived of this.

* RubberMan: The spell that the Lord of Nightmares uses to transfer Phibrizzo to a more modern-day world has a difficult time translating "mazoku" in a way that the universe's physical laws can understand. The end result is that his body becomes incredibly resilient and malleable to the extent that he can stretch it in a [[Franchise/OnePiece Luffy-esque]] manner, something that he eventually incorporates into some of his attacks.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: How Phibrizzo views his "partnership" with Inuyasha and Curtis, referring to them time and time again as parasites and making no attempt to hide his contempt for them.

* TheLoad: Curtis. Compared to Phibrizzo and those they associate with he has no useful talents, and he is not shy about admitting it.

* ThePrankster: Don't let Phibrizzo get bored. You'll be sorry.

* TookALevelInKindness: Invoking this trope in Phibrizzo is more or less Curtis and Inuyasha's goal, if only to help him better fit within his new home.

* TragicKeepsake: Phibrizzo's bracelet, although the circumstances surrounding it are unknown at present.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Phibrizzo is weak to high-pressure water, and enough of it renders him almost completely immobile. Likewise, intense heat and flames make Dolphin nearly useless.

* BerserkButton: Do not call Phibrizzo "Phibby-chan". On the more serious side, do not refer to Inuyasha as a monster.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Phibrizzo is weak to high-pressure water, and enough of it renders him almost completely immobile. Likewise, intense heat and flames render Dolphin nearly useless.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Some parts of Japan's educational system were portrayed incorrectly in early chapters due to the author's lack of knowledge of such. There are numerous examples of this trope throughout the story, but those are the most notable.
