** Gumball himself; he's more of a CowardlyLion than an outright coward, but nevertheless is a total weakling. The fanfic retains the former trope, but it becomes downplayed as Gumball starts actively training himself to fight off against a group of EldritchAbomination[=s=] that are five times his size. Later chapters even mention that he has begun developing some muscle and his reflexes become fast enough that he's able to block off [[BarbaricBully Jamie]]'s rapid punches.

Maybe he wanted the collector's edition mini-figure of Captain Punch that came with the kid's meal at Joyful Burger, but was too late because they were out of stock? Maybe he and his wife had a bad time here and got a divorce and-!"

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


** Gumball admits late in the story that one of the reasons why the breakup with Penny took such a toll on him was because it made him realize how much of a screwup he can be. Gumball felt personally responsible for Penny leaving because he knew that her parents (primarily her OverprotectiveDad) didn't like him because of his mischievous behavior. Not only would such behavior get Gumball in trouble, but sometimes Penny as well, and felt that one of the reasons they moved was to keep her away from him.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Downplayed; the story captures the lighthearted spirit of its source material, but given what the concept is about, there's a lot of action and overall more violence in the story compared to the show. Additionally, the story deals with themes of heartbreak, romance, and inevitable destruction that are taken more seriously than in the show (comparatively at least). Lastly, there's some profanity here and there, but it's mostly present in later chapters.

Plot Happens, none of these outcomes are "Surprisingly Realistic" and are just shoehorns


* CollateralDamage: Throughout the story, the Nephilims cause quite a lot of damage to various parts of Elmore. Rather than everything going back to normal the next day, the damage remains, eventually causing widespread concerns. Additionally, there have also been casualties thanks to such damage, such as the death of a close friend of Richard and Louie (though they thought he had died of heart failure).



* TheLostLenore: While Gumball is showing signs of recovery, mostly thanks to Teri, it's still evident in later chapters that he hasn't completely moved on from Penny since she was the love of his life.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Chapter 9 has Gumball go off on his own to fight Tartarforas. When Rob and Teri find out about this, they're beyond furious for several reasons. One, Gumball fighting the Nephilim ''all by himself'' nearly gets himself killed in the process. Second, Gumball's recklessness ends up attracting Carrie's attention who just so happen to have been nearby, causing her to find out about the Nephilims. Third, Carrie had to endanger Tina's father by possessing him in order to help fight off Tartarforas, which a later chapter reveals that he's still recovering from the injuries sustained. Lastly, Teri in particular feels betrayed because Gumball made a vow to her that they would always fight the Nephilims together, which ends up causing her insecurities about feeling useless to come back.



* RealityEnsues:
** Gumball and Teri don't just immediately fall in love, as it takes time to develop a romantic relationship. It's only after they start hanging out and getting to know each other that they ''barely'' start to develop feelings for each other.
** While Gumball is showing signs of recovery, mostly thanks to Teri, it's still evident in later chapters that he hasn't completely moved on from Penny since she was the love of his life.

** Gumball and Teri don't leave any of the fights with the Nephilims unscathed. Gumball is covered in bandages after each fight, and Teri loses a leg at one point (though thankfully, she can reattach it because she's made of paper). Their parents also begin to grow suspicious of why they're always coming home injured and staying out so late.
** It's mentioned that Rob had to resort to crime and selling many of his inventions in order to pay for his new apartment and to put Rachel back in school. Smart as Rob is, he's ineligible to find a job due to his young age.

*** Related to the above events, Teri makes it clear that a simple apology isn't going to make her instantly forgive Gumball, and that it'll take some time for her to get over what he did. [[spoiler: Fortunately, she's touched enough by Gumball's effort to speed up the process]].
