History TheInfiniteLoops / LoopsAToM

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Confirmed Loopers include the entire founding line-up of the Justice League, the founding members of the Teen Titans and the New Teen Titans, Zatana, Black Canary, Green Arrow, ComicBook/{{Static}}, ComicBook/{{Hardware}} and... Alfred Pennysworth. And that was before the DC loopers got a devoted thread and sure expansion of their numbers.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: One Loop has Wonder Woman waking up to find a bunch of gorillas in her apartment. For some reason.

[[folder:Legend of Zelda Loops]]
* ActionGirl: Zelda finally graduates to being a fully fledged ActionGirl after spending years as the prime example.
* ArchnemesisDad: And Mom! Zelda's habit of experimenting with political marriages can lead to some rather... interesting family trees. See NonStandardCharacterDesign below.
* TheBadGuyWins: Ganondorf is looping, sometimes solo, so this is to be expected on occasion.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Epona, goddess of horses, helps administrate the Zeldaverse, under the 'supervision' of Susanoo, god of chaos and storms.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Susanoo's plan to use the [[AncientArtifact Triforce]] as an Anchor.
* CurbStompBattle: Ganondorf ends up on the losing side of one when he decides to fight [[Literature/HarryPotter Harry]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: Inevitably, Ganondorf, Zelda, and Link all ended up as FriendlyEnemies.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: After a [[NoodleIncident "stressful"]] loop, the Triforce Trio take a break in a bar. Ganondorf reinforces this trope when he brings up Eiken.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Magic? Check. Zelda? Check. Asskicking? Check, check and check.
* NakedFirstImpression: Ganondorf leaves one on [[Literature/HarryPotter Harry Potter]] when he Wakes up as a reborn Voldemort.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Or loop setting. Most universes have a main character as the Anchor. The Zeldaverse has the Triforce as the Anchor with the three looping bearers (Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf) rotating as its proxy. In addition, because each of the baseline Loops covers a game (and possibly direct sequels) that is part of a larger timeline, there is the possibility that events in one Loop can become the history of a later Loop.
** That later qualifier has led to a number of very weird variant loops, including but not limited to: [[spoiler: Zelda as Ganondorf's mother. Ganondorf as Zelda's father. Fire breathing, exploding Cuccos. Hybridized Cucco empires. Link as Ganondorf's son. Hyrule being ruled by Ganondorf. And many others that we have probably not seen...]]
* NoSenseOfDirection: Linkle's sense of direction is so bad, she doesn't Loop as much as wander into a completely different universe to where she arrived from.
* OhCrap: The sensible reaction to a looping Midna.
** Also the sensible reaction to accidentally pissing off a [[KillerRabbit cucco]].
* ProperlyParanoid: ''Something'' happened in [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Shiganshina]] that left Link with a deep, lingering distrust of [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sakura Haruno]].
* RunningGag: Cucco hordes
* SelfImposedChallenge: In-universe.
** Link spends a several Loops trying to see if he can make it through an ''Ocarina of Time'' Loop with nothing but a deku stick.
---> '''Ganondorf (non-looping):''' Is this a joke? You seek to defeat me... Me! The master of the Triforce of Power! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis With! A! STICK?!]]
** According to one chapter of ''Fanfic/TheMLPLoops'', Link eventually got bored of the deku stick and started using nothing but a deku ''seed''. Reminder: A deku seed is a single-use item that causes no effect but a flash of light that briefly stuns an opponent. [[NoodleImplements No explanation is provided for how he could use this for an entire loop]].
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When Link [[ItMakesSenseInContext batted the moon out of orbit,]] the tides changing drastically caused the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Great Flood.]]
* TrueCompanions: Deconstructed with Navi and Link. The fact that both are looping, and often don't loop together, has put their frienship under a lot of strain. Being friends means little when they can't be together. However, they do assert that they will continue to try.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Cuccos. Why did it have to be Cuccos.
* VillainTeamUp: During a variant loop, Ganondorf and Vaati wake up to find their free will has been restored, but Princess Zelda have been afflicted by [[spoiler: Demise's curse]]. After Link runs into them in a bar, an Awake Link, Vaati and Ganondorf decide to stop Queen Zelda's tyrannical rule.
[[/folder]]

* HeelFaceTurn:The Animatronics, after they Activated and had a much needed HeelRealization.
* LighterAndSofter: ZigZagged, The Animatronics eventually stop being homicidal, but it's still ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' so Nightmare Fuel is still going to be there.
* MythologyGag: Bonnie the Bunny changes gender much more often than other loopers, thank to the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys fandom confusing him for a girl repeatedly. (Foxy also suffered from this, but to a lesser extent.)

[[folder: Attack on Titan Loops]]

* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Twin Brother]]: Hans has to play this angle when he loops into LogHorizon as Minori's twin brother, who is for this iteration, ''not'' awake.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In an uncommon situation, most of the original loops can be accredited to the writer KrspaceT/Crossoverpairinglover of the Star Wars loops, who is not the compiler. This is somewhat mitigated as the writer continues to provide a sizable amount of [=AoT=] loops.

* ContrivedCoincidence: During a loop where non-baseline powers are sealed away, Eren literally stumbles upon a 3DMG refueling tank. The sheer oddity is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] immediately.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In an uncommon situation, most of the original loops can be accredited to the writer KrspaceT/Crossoverpairinglover of the Star Wars loops, who is not the compiler. This is somewhat mitigated as the writer continues to provide a sizable amount of AoT loops.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The first three loopers from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fall into this. You have the snarky but overall heroic Gwen(Nice), the LovableAlphaBitch Heather(Mean) and the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold rough around the edges]] Duncan(In-between)

* RealityEnsues: When Link [[ItMakesSenseInContext batted the moon out of orbit,]] the tides changing drastically caused the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Great Flood.]]

* RealityEnsues:

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: A personal goal for all loopers present in the branch is to keep Jurassic Park(and by extension, Jurassic World) from falling apart or being sabotaged.

[[folder: Mega Man Loops]]
* AmnesiaMissedASpot: The Anchors aren't supposed to remember their failed Loop attempts, and yet they do due to a bug. According to Hephaestus, this applies to every Anchor in the Megaverse.
** Also, Blues, Rock and Roll can remember parts of the Loop that caused the Crash, along with glimpses of the Anchor That Never Was (though they simply recall the Anchor as a "person-shaped hole". This is supposed to be beyond completely impossible.
* {{Anticlimax}}: During the first Loop, Doc Reaper crawls its way across a raging battlefield, hoping to get to a much larger body. It does so, and starts boasting to the Loopers about how it's going to kill them... and then [[BigDamnHeroes Duo shows up and takes it out in one shot]].
** Rock and Sonic find themselves in a trap with twenty-two Paradox Clones facing them... at which point Sonic snaps and smashes them all.
* AndThisIsFor: Roll delivers one of these to Waltz during their duel in the first loop, naming off the various atrocities Waltz and the Robot Masters under her command had committed during one of the earlier aborted loop attempts.
* AxCrazy: Waltz, an evil duplicate of Roll built by Dr. Wily with future technology and the DistaffCounterpart to Quint. Instead of trying to mess around with the heroes' heads or follow orders, all she cares about (or even talks about) is her desire to [[BloodKnight messily slaughter her opponents]]. During her second appearance in Loop 1.0, [[spoiler: Quint stabs her InTheBack and [[KilledOffForReal destroys her IC chip]] solely because she's too much of a liability this way.]]
* BackToBackBadasses: Blues and Dr. Light, during the first Loop.
* BerserkButton: Anyone who hurts Roll will have to face a pissed-off Bass.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: During the Mega Sonic Loop, the Hooligans of all beings manage to get the drop on the Light siblings. Not enough to cause any serious damage, but there is a FakeKillScare.
* BeyondTheImpossible: During a Loop that crossed over with FanFic/TheConversionBureau, Dr. Wily (who is ''not'' Looping) was somehow able to get himself and his robots past the impenetrable anti-tech barrier that surrounded that version of Equestria "without even scratching the paint." He didn't take the barrier down or anything; he just took his army ''straight through it''. Even the Awake Doctor Light has trouble explaining how Wily manages to pull off half the things he does.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Rock and Blues both warn Bass about upsetting Roll. Though as Blues points out, if Bass did upset Roll, anything her brothers could do would be redundant compared to her in a bad mood.
* BigDamnHeroes: Several throughout the first Loop, Duo most of all, but the king of this has to be Shadow and Bass managing to arrive at the exact last second and save both Loops, in only a few seconds.
* TheBigDamnKiss: Roll gives Bass one for the aforementioned last-second save. As she puts it, if that didn't earn him one date, nothing ever would.
* BodyHorror: Double's transformation into the Jello Devil should be funny. It isn't.
* BreakTheCutie: The events of the failed initial Loops were not kind to the three prospective Anchors, Roll and Blues especially. The fact that they all somehow retain glitchy, corrupted memories of said events (which isn't supposed to be possible) doesn't help, either.
* CanonForeigner: Reverend Dark, a robot worshiping fanatic. [[spoiler:The man is stated to be the human identity of [[VideoGame/MegaMan5 Dark Man]], though it varies as to whether he's really a human who turns himself into a robot in the final stages of his fanaticism or another of Dark Man's holographic disguises.]]
* CerebusSyndrome: For the most part, other Loop fics have mainly focused on the many different kinds of shenanigans the various Loopers could get into. The Mega Man Loops started out with a long sequence of failed attempts at bringing that universe online and the psychological impact it had on the three initial candidates for Anchors: Rock, Roll, and Blues. See FromBadToWorse for more.
** It even carries through into the fused loop with Equestria, much to Rock and Roll's distress.
* CompositeCharacter: One Loop has Dr. Wily merged with Sigma, Weil and Dr. Albert. Exactly how this one happened is unclear, but given that he's apparently possessed by ''something'', it probably wasn't willing on any of their parts.
* CurbStompBattle: Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman managing to take out Prospit and Derse, which are supposed to be defended by a small fleet.
** Sonic defeating all twenty-two Paradox Clones in a few seconds.
* DefaceOfTheMoon: Drs Wily and Eggman deface Prospit and Derse, after kicking the crap out of them.
* DemonicPossession: Dr. Wily spends most of the first Loop infected with a virus that pushes his nastier tendancies and tenaciousness into overdrive.
** [[spoiler:And then, in chapter 11, it manages to get into Blues.]]
* DualWielding: How Roll solves the Ra Moon problem in the first Loop. It almost kills her.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The only section capable of Looping at first in the classic games universe (and its variant). However, this doesn't stop X, Zero and Vile getting brief appearances in the Loop that causes the Crash.
* EldritchAbomination: Hepheastus' speculation on whatever it was that took over Dr. Wily and caused the Crash is that it was either a virus from outside the natural Loop, or something that had grown with each failed Loop. Whatever it was, it was just one step below whatever it was that damaged Yggdrasil badly enough to cause the Loops in the first place.
* EvilVersusEvil: The Emerald Spears versus the Church of Robotic Superiority, early in Loop 1.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: While discussing the Dreaming Bug, Hephaestus mentions there is every chance it'll wind up in someone who would definitely abuse it for their own ends. Lo and behold, it turns out the bad doctor is one of these.
* FriendlyEnemy: Bass has a thing for Roll. Considering she can kick his ass, it might count as InLoveWithYourCarnage. Not so much for Rock, though.
* FromBadToWorse: First, it was discovered that the entire extended Megaverse was so corrupted that initially, only the Classic series was capable of Looping. Then Rock, Roll, and Blues were successively put through a series of failed initial Loops that only ended up damaging the system further with each failed attempt, leading up to the last go-around with Blues collapsing less than ten seconds in. Then the admin tried to stabilize the system with a Fused Loop, but [[spoiler: a psychopathic viral AI that had manifested as a result of all the corrupted data managed to capture Rock, Roll, Blues, and the visiting Anchor and use them in a ritual meant to give the AI [[AGodAmI admin-level godhood]] and let it wreak havoc throughout all of Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil's defenses kicked in and destroyed the AI before that could happen, but the visiting Anchor was [[CessationOfExistence obliterated at the conceptual level]], [[RetGone his or her entire home universe was also lost as a result]], and Yggdrasil experienced a major system crash that was felt across multiple universes.]] The disaster left the Megaverse on its last legs; if the next attempt at initiating a Loop (which required [[spoiler: help from the Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog universe]] to increase the chance of success to 90%) failed, it ([[spoiler: and quite possibly the Sonicverse as well]]) would be gone for good.
** The first Loop's situation in a nutshell. Especially when the Skaia Protocol shows up. Skaia Protocol alone would be a bad sign, but Skaia experimented on by mortals? Worse. Those mortals being Doctor Eggman and Wily? Much, much worse.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Quint and Waltz, the evil future-copies of Rock and Roll, respectively. Quint is usually a NobleDemon, but [[AxCrazy Waltz]] is far, far worse.
* GodzillaThreshold: Normally, a Loop only has one Anchor. The fact that this universe required three is just how desperate Hephaestus's situation has become. Note that per WordOfGod three native Anchors for a single looping universe (or section thereof) is as many as Yggdrasil will allow.
* GoneHorriblyRight: In one Loop, Wily improves Ra Moon's EMP. He turns it on, and it ''kills everything on Earth''.
* GratuitousJapanese: Whenever Roll merges with Tango, she has a tendency to say 'nyan', much to her distress.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: One of Blue's failed loops ended when a glitch allowed King to slice him in half.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Bass was helping the Anchors (to impress Roll) when the reality warp hit. After that, Dr Wily reprogrammed him to be obedient.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Model V, otherwise known as Vile, is called "vile" by Blues' narration.
* InexplicablyAwesome: During the Mega Pony Loop, Rock admits he's got no idea how Auto does the things he does.
* InterfaceScrew: When the author posted the log for the horrifically failed Fused Loop attempt, he encrypted it to make it resemble a corrupted file and challenged his readers to see who could successfully decrypt it first. The winner was allowed to post the decrypted version for all to see shortly afterward.
* LighterAndSofter: The post-Activation Loops are (usually) the standard Looper craziness.
* MillionToOneChance: The desperate attempts of Hephaestus and Hermes to sustain the merged loop quickly fail, not helped by the presence of the Skaia Protocol. The chances of the Loop's success drops from the original 90% to 2%, then to utter gibberish, then right down to 0.0001%, which is as low as the numbers can possibly go. [[spoiler: Only Bass and Shadow's intervention saves both realities.]]
* MindScrew: One set of Loops is host to a bizarre glitch which causes the Loops to shut down. For some reason, the glitch comes in the form of the Beatles singing. It even messes with the chapter's numbering system.
* MoodWhiplash: In some of the failed loops, something ridiculous tends to happen (Dr Wily announcing his plans to take over the world with interpretive dance, Rock facing a [[Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids Cheddar Monk]] in the World Robot Tournament) just before reality crashes again.
* MythologyGag: The first attempt at starting up the loops ended when Rock encountered Bond Man, a glue-based Robot Master [[WhatCouldHaveBeen who was initially planned to be in]] [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 the first game]] but was scrapped before character designs could be made when the number of Robot Masters was cut down to six.
** Several of the failed Loops either take elements from or are outright based on many different ''Mega Man Classic'' adaptations, some more obscure than others.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: In the second part of the ''Pitchblende'' Loop (a Fused Loop with ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo''), Atomic Robo teams up with Mega Man and Roll against Wily. Before heading out, he tells Dr. Light (his creator this Loop) this:
-->'''Atomic''': "I'll see you when this is over. Let's rock 'n roll."
-->The Light twins groaned loudly while their father chuckled.
-->'''Atomic''': "You've, uh, probably heard that before, huh?"
-->'''Roll''': "We never ''stop'' hearing it."
* NoDeathRun: Given the utter mess left by the plethora of attempts to start the universe looping, the local Yggdrasil admin was forced to make Rock, Roll, ''and'' Blues into Co-Anchors. If any of them dies during this attempt, it will fail.
* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: A non-looping Junkman.exe in the Battle Network activation Loop. Due to reasons, he takes on an army of Nebula navis and towards the end of the battle, his hit points drop to zero, and then ''keep going''. He then loses half of his remaining body and still has enough strength to try and accomplish his objective before Nebula's leader shows up and atomizes him.
* NothingIsScarier: Whatever it was that possessed Dr. Light in one of Blues' failed Loops, and then Dr. Wily, absolutely nothing about it is explained.
* NothingPersonal: Nack the Weasel says this after being attacked by an angry Bass. Bass points out that Nack shot his dog, and his would-be girlfriend. So it is in fact ''very'' personal for him.
* OffWithHisHead: Blues tries this on Terra. However, all he manages is some EyeScream.
* OhCrap: Far too many in the first Loop to count.
* OmnicidalManiac: In a choice between reforming or not reforming, Waltz screams she'd much rather bring reality down around her.
* OneWingedAngel: In a fused loop with Sonic the Hedgehog, Waltz manages to acquire the powers of [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Metal Overlord]]. [[spoiler: Fortunately the heroes strip her of them before she's killed by Bass and Omega, meaning she doesn't have them in future Loops.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Roll mocks Dr. Wily in his bad "Mister X" disguise during the first Loop.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The thing possessing Dr. Wily, Sigma, Dr. Weil and Dr. Albert that caused the Crash had a machine designed to get it into the Loops that operated like this, using Rock, Roll, Blues and The Anchor Who Never Was as fuel.
* PuzzleBoss: How the fight against Egg Denizen: Consort in the first loop played out. Her entire shtick was to set up a [[BarrierWarrior massive barrier]] between the heroes and the Eggman-Wily lair. Fortunately, she was under a {{Geas}} which required her to explain how the barrier could be breached... unfortunately, the only thing that could do so was a symbol of [[ThePowerOfLove true (romantic) love]]. The solution? [[spoiler: Loading [[BattleCouple Bunnie and Antoine's]] wedding rings into a rail gun Tails had installed in Bunnie's bionic arm and using them to shoot the Consort through the chest and head.]]
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Egg Denizens, the Gods of Skaia turned by Eggman and Wily into their minions. And there's a lot of them.
* RageBreakingPoint: In one loop where Dr Wily's inventions are designed are Russian-themed, one bad RussianReversal joke drives Roll into a momentary frenzy.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Roll towards Dr. Wily in one of the failed Loops, after he graphically murdered Rock. She had every intention of killing him for it, only failing because the Loop crashed.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Roll has a lot of the symptoms of one. Her fourth failed Loop is the main culprit.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Happens to Blues in one of the failed loops, at the hands of an evil Dr Light. He still hasn't gotten over it.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Blues makes it clear to Nack the Weasel that if he had actually killed Rock and Roll, this trope would have been averted with extreme prejudice.
** As they are free from the constraints of their programming, Rock and Roll could kill if they wanted to. Fortunately the situation has never been bad enough for them to seriously consider it. Usually.
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Despite having her IC chip destroyed earlier in the first loop, Waltz returns during the attack on the Wily-Eggman base, ready to fight and just as crazy as ever.]]
* UnfortunateName: Reverend Dark's initials spell out STD.
* UnstoppableRage: Roll, in her fourth failed Loop. She had every intent of killing Dr. Wily because of what he did to her brother. The only reason she doesn't succeed is because the Loop fails.
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 11. The thing that plagued the early Loops returns. [[spoiler:And it's in Blues.]]
* WhamLine: "'''Did you miss me?'''"
* XCalledTheyWantTheirYBack: Variant in the fourth ''Battle Network'' chapter:
-->'''Apollo''': "The lovely Mayl and the enchanting Roll are raining on your villainous parade!" (does Phoenix Wright's pose) "Like a boss!"
-->'''Hephaestus''': "Apollo, Phoenix Wright just called. He's suing you for copyright infringement."
-->'''Apollo''': "Wait, really?"
-->'''Hephaestus''': "No," ... "No mortal has access to my office number and you know it. But I'll find a way to let him know you were ripping him off."
* YouCantFightFate: Despite their best efforts, Rock and Roll can never get around fighting Sunstar.
[[/folder]]

* SelfImposedChallenge: Link spends a several Loops trying to see if he can make it through an ''Ocarina of Time'' Loop with nothing but a deku stick.
--> '''Ganondorf (non-looping):''' Is this a joke? You seek to defeat me... Me! The master of the Triforce of Power! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis With! A! STICK?!]]

* TooDumbToLive: '''Billy'''. So much so that he's labeled an ''MLE''.

* FromBadToWorse: What's worse than [[GreenLantern Dalek Manhunters?]]

* ThouShaltNotKill: Batman. [[CaptainObvious Naturally.]]

* AlwaysABiggerFish: Non-villainous example: Bertolt rolls up, threatens Shiganshina like always... and then Ben Tennison shows up behind him in his Way Big form.

* RunningGag: The Anchor, Kira Yamato, generally tends to Loop into the place of artificial characters during Fused Loops. So far, this includes: Cell from ''Manga/DragonBallZ'', Shadow from Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, Jack from ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock|1}}, Guy Shishioh from ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', Solid Snake from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', etc.

* BigDamnKiss: Roll gives Bass one for the aforementioned last-second save. As she puts it, if that didn't earn him one date, nothing ever would.

* GenreSavvy: Defeat has taught Ganondorf much.

* RunningGag: The Anchor, Kira Yamato, generally tends to Loop into the place of artificial characters during Fused Loops. So far, this includes: Cell from DragonBallZ, Shadow from SonicTheHedgehog, Jack from [[VideoGame/BioShock1 Bioshock]], Guy Shishioh from ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', Solid Snake from MetalGearSolid, etc.

[[folder:{{Disney}} Loops]]
* ArrangedMarriage: A loop between Oswald / [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Luna]] and Mickey / Princess Celestia.
* AutomatedAutomobiles: [[spoiler: Tyler's van, as part of what the author called a "rerailment of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''" timeline.]]
* DeconstructiveParody: Has had a few loops where this happened to the soap opera genre, showing how a sane person would react to the ridiculous plot twists in them. Also for the Literature/{{Twilight}} universe.
* ForTheLulz: What is the first action Oswald and Luna do after they are awaken? Prank Celestia of course.
* GenreSavvy: DoubleSubverted with Mickey when he became ComicBook/{{Shazam}}, as he can "almost taste the upcoming adventure hook" but dismissed it as "spending way too much time in Loops based off of [=RPGs=]." Oh, how right he is.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: It is a ''company wide'' loops, rather than a specific franchise, with Loopers from close to four dozen movies and TV shows, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, the classic Disney shorts and Creator/RickRiordan's shared universe (the three Camp Half-Blood series, ''The Kane Chronicles'' and ''Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard'' (this last came about since the books are released through Disney Publishing Worldwide).
* PsychicPower: Oswald has this.
* RealPersonFic: In the Managing the Company timeline. [[spoiler:Subverted is that there is the obviously fictional "Networking Illuminati Against Really Good Shows and Ideas" (N.I.A.R.G.I) involvement.]]
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: InUniverse, The legal right splitting the characters of the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU]] is mentioned in the Managing the Company timeline.
* {{Squick}}: InUniverse How Oswald, Minnie and Mickey react to the "imprinting" mechanic.
* TakeThat: Many
** The Anchors think [[Film/{{Carrie}} Margaret White]] would "get eaten by someone's dog, and poison it." after they turned her into a newt.
** Mickey thinks of soap opera's story telling style as "More plot twists than you could shake a stick at, and not a lick of sense among them."
** A less mean-spirited one would be Goofy managed to make ''[[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kingdom Hearts 3]]'' "to be less [[MindScrew mind-screwy]] than previous installments" and think the games weren't created on a sober mind.
** Minnie thinks that it "can't be too difficult" to do a better job than [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Bella Swan]]. She also thinks Edward's actions are creepy and patronizing but was treated as "romantic".
** The whole concept of imprinting is mocked by both Leah and Oswald. The latter even took drastic measure to remove it. Likewise, the "sparkly vampire" is mocked by Oswald.
* {{Yandere}}: Minnie for Mickey in a timeline. They agreed to [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain never speak about it]].
[[/folder]]

** RedOniBlueOni: [[ThePollyanna Marco]] & [[TheCynic Jean]], [[WiseGuy Sasha]] & [[StraightMan Connie]], [[CloudCuckooLander Hanji]] & [[CloudCuckooLandersMinder Levi]], [[LipstickLesbian Historia]] & [[ButchLesbian Ymir]], [[TeamMom Carla]] & [[TeamDad Hans]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: It is a ''company wide'' loops, rather than a specific franchise.
