Widget Series has been renamed to Quirky Work as per TRS (it's also YMMV).


* WidgetSeries: Basically, it's a WAT that seems to be going out of its way to ''not'' look like a story you'd see in mainstream America. ''Ordinarily United'' is a story in a TwentyMinutesInToTheFuture setting where Canada has inexplicably taken over most of the world, a man spontaneously woke up with talents that include swimming up waterfalls, Earth is attacked by several monsters on a regular basis, a BigRedDevil sends ninety-eight monsters ranging from "human-looking" to "what the hell is that thing" to wipe out humanity because he's too lazy/[[spoiler:reluctant with guilt]] to do so himself, and a doubling-every-day BattleHarem of naked women magically generate things out of nothing to solve world resource problems. Also present is an American football ninja, an [[ShapedLikeItself "assassin ninja,"]] '''nine-hundred''' "guardian" species [[TheGodsMustBeLazy that seem to not really do that much to protect humanity,]] a "werewolf" that can only turn in to a wolf in direct ''sun''light, and Stella. And almost every character either runs around completely naked or mostly naked. GPF has written weirder, but this is definitely an oddball in of itself.

Long Title has been disambiguated


* LongTitle:
** The story itself, although the creator almost constantly just uses the first two words for short.
** The full name of Chapter 1 is a mouthful, but the chapters after that show the first one as an exception, rather than the rule. Chapter 8 is also long.



* LongTitle: ''The High-Splash Adventures of Wavette''. As with the overall title and the first chapter (shortened to "The Knight and the Naked Woman"), this is often shortened to just ''Wavette''.

TRS wick cleanupSurprise Creepy has been split and disambiguated


* SurpriseCreepy: The story is openly said by WordOfGod to not be a horror one and for the most part it is lighthearted, but one should not take the fact that the StringyHairedGhostGirl trope is "sexified" with the Unitias to mean that the whole thing is just {{fanservice}} shell-to-core. In fact, the creator says that the closest thing he has in mind to a target audience is "''not'' fans of moe anime." Actual "horror moments" like Carlson's nightmare in Chapter 3 or a good deal of what the Unitias do to people they ''really'' don't like are brief, but they're there and come with almost no warning at all. One of the early chapters makes fun of actual horror works like ''VideoGame/SonicExe'' and (less-directly) ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' by dismissing them as "tame," which should be taken as a warning. And all of this is before Last shows up, who is said by Great Pikmin Fan to be only other character who might give the Unitias a run for their money in terms of horror and implied to be a giant KnightOfCerebus. Except unlike the Unitias, Last is a villain.

trope renamed to emphasize meaning of boobs as comedy


* BoobBasedGag: The Unitias, although they downplay this in that the only real jokes made are near the very beginning. Where A: Origin's rack almost smacks Carlson in the face, and B: she at first seems to be covered with GodivaHair before brushing it out of the way and going completely uncovered from that point onward.

** Flower's '''Chest''' is a huge plant-like woman that also has a massive bust.
** Mayor Tchup, the mayor of Watch City. She has a large bust and wears a red version of Mayor Green's suit, although this is not directly pointed out by Hoodieath or Eighthback in Chapter 7.



** It's implied that the Unitias' default male form has this to compliment the GagBoobs of their default female, and default overall, forms. They can still cover it with one hand, but one must recall that the Unitias have hands with long claws.

* WorldOfBuxom: Pretty much every woman in the story has a large rack, with the smallest being "average." The Unitias, Flower's Chest, and Mayor Tchup border on GagBoobs outright.

* HornyDevils: It's suggested that some if not ''all'' (even the inhuman, eldritch-looking) soul beings could potentially be sex-themed, with a joy for running around naked and eating, among more "traditional" monster food like human blood, sexual fluids. However, the Unitias fit closer despite doubling as StringyHairedGhostGirl[=s=]. They are also suggested to be good in bed... except Carlson is even ''better'' than them.

* WeaponOfChoice: Several characters are associated with different weapons, although there is some overlap. Stella fights with batons. Carlson's is technically boomerangs, but he only uses Grayscale. Because he only ''needs'' Grayscale. The Unitias have Unit Blades that are apparently even more powerful than they usually are. And the Shiny Rock Holders can transform their Rocks in to weapons they are comfortable using. Swinging Blade unsurprisingly turns his in to a sword, Blazing Fast changes his in to a mace, Assily Blast in to a gun, and Ninjssassin goes for a giant shuriken. Ninjssassin also uses other ninja tools. And "assassin tools," implied to be long-ranged guns and sniper rifles.

Dark Skinned Blond is no longer a trope


* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her Bone is literally half of this. As a biological "chimera," she's split down the middle left and right of being half dark-skinned with blonde hair and half-light skinned with brunette hair.


* AwesomeMcCoolName: Quite a number, ranging from Eldbrash ("Eldbrash: Chilled Water Guardian of the Hill Town Lake" also has a nice ring to it) to Unitia Origin. Subverted with the Eighth Circle; he gave himself that name to reflect his "power scaling." He's original name is Fred.

** Fan ''really'' hates [[DesignatedHero "loveable"]] pervert characters with a heart of gold. [[spoiler:The Inventor was specifically written to be a mockery of this trope, where he's portrayed as a super creepo rather than a guy who "can't help but love to grope boobies." To hammer in the point, rather than ''actually'' showing him grope someone and risk glorifying it, he's instead feeling up a mannequin, to try to ensure as few people as possible would be aroused by his behavior. That's just his debut chapter -- come Chapter 10 where he steps in to full villainy by trying to kill Stella and Henfight, he's beaten in a rather humiliating fashion by Stella and company, before suffering from a death that's explicitely stated to be long, slow, and painful. His assistant, Henfight, is similarly mocking a perfectly obediant girlfriend, and she's ''also'' deliberately designed to be unsexy in that Inventor's preferred outfit for her is a ''chicken suit'' and she speaks in extremely dull monotone.]] This is in stark contrast to Carlson and just about any other character in the story (even Stella, obsessed with sex, and even ''Hoodieath,'' who is loud and rude but not a manipulative slimeball), who generally react to nudity and sex with maturity and strive for healthy relationships. In Chapter 10's closing notes, it's confirmed that [[spoiler:the Inventor and Henfight]] were "inspired" by [[Manga/SevenDeadlySins Meliodas and Elizabeth,]][[labelnote:Spoilers for Chapter 10]]This is even why the Inventor yells about his "wrath" before he attacks Stella and company, and why his last name is "Mellows."[[/labelnote]] but the former draws a lot from faux-"nice guys" in general.

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The Unitias double in count every day, although for obvious reasons (namely their numbers will soon dip in to the millions and trying to write that many side-characters would be unreasonable) the screentime is usually limited to the first sixteen while the others are their background backup. They are just an indicator of the grander scheme of things: the main villain group is a band of ''one hundred'' monsters (ninety-nine excluding Unitia Origin) and each last one of them is promised to at least have a name and a demonstration of their powers; none of them will be completely dealt with offscreen. Aside from them, ''Ordinarily United'' has: nine major non-Unitia heroes[[note]]Carlson, Stella, Eldbrash, Kameel Kick, Ruby, Leon, Hex, Transparaghost, and Her Bone[[/note]], various other heroes not part of the Knights like Eighthback and Hoodieath, the mayors of the major cities and the Prime Minister, side-characters like Richshirt or Stella's date of the week, and even more counting shows within the story. This is part of the reason why ''Extraordinarily'' was planned: even with the chapters being as long as they are, a number of the characters do not get that much screentime for the sake of the main story's progression.
