History TheInfiniteLoops / LoopsAToM

* YouCantFightFate: Eren can learn all the medicine he wants, prepare for every contingency, and spends loops practicing, but he'll never save his mom from dying if he

* ChainsawGood: Their are, it seems, loops where the pairing blades are replaced with pairing chainsaws. Connie's reaction?

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Father's plan of turning everyone in the Kids Next Door into animals backfires in this manner as per usual, only instead of Tommy using it to turn him into a panther, the animalization field somehow turns Numbuh 362, who in canon was turned into a chimp, into Sun Wukong, complete with powerset, leading to her kicking his ass.

** Similar to Nigel above, Cree's crush/pseudo-relationship with Maurice died after she found out that he was a TND spy in baseline, and, as such, most likely never actually loved her.

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

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Father's plan of turning everyone in the Kids Next Door backfires in this manner as per usual, only instead of Tommy using it to turn him into a panther, the animalization field somehow turns Numbuh 362, who in canon was turned into a chimp, into Sun Wukong, complete with powerset, leading to her kicking his ass.

* ForWantOfANail: Early on, Takato speculates that if he stops Hypnos getting to [=DarkLizardmon=], they won't create Juggernaut, which won't rip open a massive hole between worlds, and won't summon the Deva.

* 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)

* CrazyWorkplace: The World Tree Yggdrasil is staffed by various deities/computer programmers tasked with preserving ''every'' fictional universe.

** WordOfGod states that this is intended at least partly as a FixFic to Flay's [[TheGwenStacy fate]] [[RedemptionEqualsDeath in]] [[HeelFaceDoorSlam canon]], as she had gone through all this CharacterDevelopment, and yet was killed before anything could come of it.

* 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)

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Hiruma initially refuses for Sumiko[[note]]Sena as a girl[[note]] to join the team as a player because he doesn't want her to get hurt.

* HeadDesk: Whan Palutena mentions how the Three Sacred Treasures tend to break when used due to old age Sena suggests fixing them. This results in Palutena using the Power of Reflect so she an bang her head against it because she didn't think of it.

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

* HasTwoMommies: Armin ends up going through an awkward loop where Ymir and Krista are his mothers...[[spoiler: and Levi is hinted to be his biological father.]]
** A later loop results in Armin again being the son of Ymir and Krista... [[spoiler: and ''Ymir'' is supposedly his father.]] Armin makes for the brain bleach the moment Mikasa hints this.
** The variant actually ends up occurring so often that Ymir, Armin and Historia form a sort of family unit.

* {{Hermaphrodite}}: Related to the HasTwoMommies trope above, a variant shows up where Titan Shifting causes this. Apparently, Ymir ended up affected by this, and... er... used it to [[UnusualEuphemism make]] Armin.

-->The Hunter: "So, let me get this straight. Time is repeating indefinitely while you- the Admins- try to fix some sort of god-tree thing called Yggdrasil, but you don't know what's wrong with it. I'm an Anchor, which means that I'm the only one who will be Awake for 99.99% of my Loops, but eventually other, non-Anchor Loopers will activate to keep me company when they're Awake. My Loop has two Admins because Artemis Did A Thing She Wasn't Supposed To, and you, Ardwinna, have been assigned to almost completely take over for her. Normally you split the Loops you activate between yourselves, but neither of you wanted to give the other the Loop. Am I missing anything?"

-->Artemis: "Identity."

-->The Hunter: "Right. Because Yggdrasil Did A Thing, literally everything about me is Loop-variable. Oh! And my Loop's apparently glitchy as hell for some reason, but it'll likely only result in three other copies of me running around with all of my memories and capabilities."

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Hurricane Billy is the logical end result of having someone so monumentally stupid and illogical start looping. At least with someone like Mandy, there would have been some kind of method to whatever madness she cooked up. For Billy, he doesn't need to plan anything -- he just acts and whatever he does will inevitably crash the loop.

** Nigel waited until Rachel started looping to pursue a relationship with her, knowing it was inevitable with their baseline close friendship. Why? As Abby put it, it's so he wouldn't have to play out ''Film/FiftyFirstDates'' with her.
** Similar to Nigel above, Cree's crush/pseudo-relationship with Maurice died after she found out that he was a TND spy in baseline.

* BeeBeeGun: In one Loop, the Moment is a [[MemeticMutation Deadly Bee Weapon]] instead of a galaxy-destroying superweapon. When the Doctors decide to use it (since it was apparently harmless to Time Lords), they unleash a swarm of gigantic bees, each as big as a small moon, which manage to [[BeyondTheImpossible the emperor of a race that can only feel hatred, daleks!]]

* RoleSwapAU: Loop 5.11 switches the roles of the Time Lords and Daleks in the history of the setting but otherwise has the same history leading up to the First Doctor stealing the TARDIS. Sine in canon the Time Lords seeded the universe to make sure most sentient life looked like them, this results in most of the aliens in the Loop looking like Daleks... including the casings, which Sarah Jane comments should have been borderline impossible for any of them to make.

* BabysitterFromHell: In one loop, Daleks were nannies for time lords.

* BaddieFlattery: [[spoiler:The Mistress is impressed by David Xanatos,]] and his goatee.
* BeeBeeGun: In one Loop, the Moment was a [[MemeticMutation Deadly Bee Weapon]] instead of a galaxy-destroying superweapon. When the Doctors decided to use it (since it was apparently harmless to Time Lords), they unleashed a swarm of gigantic bees, each as big as a small moon, which managed to [[BeyondTheImpossible the emperor of a race that can only feel hatred, daleks!]]
* BreakTheCutie: After Awakening, Clara got all the memories pertaining to Season 8 at once. [[spoiler: From the moral delimma of "Kill The Moon to her boyfriend dying ''twice''.]]
* CallBack: The fact that the Daleks shot down the Valiant gets a mention in one snippet. [[spoiler:The Master's upset about it.]]

* FriendlyTickleTorture: The Doctor gets attacked by a bunch of Dalek's who want to do this one loop.

** Using Pinkie Pie's program on the Cyberiad removes their desire to "upgrade" others. It also makes them dye themselves bright pink, and determined to throw everything in the universe a party.
** In another Loop, a plan to prevent stars from dying somehow results in the star coming to life, and it becomes a sun-sized imitation of Pinkie Pie.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: The Doctor and Sarah Jane's reactions to waking up as Daleks. [[NoMouth A problem with that plan quickly comes up.]]

* RunningGag: Strange variants of the Daleks or Daleks behaving strangely.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Doctor's standard reaction to any Dalek vs zombies loops.

* YouCantFightFate: No matter what the Doctor does, his eleventh regeneration (The Tenth Doctor) keeps getting fatally zapped by a Dalek. Exaggerated when it turns out it doesn't apply to Daleks. Even in a Bureau Loop, he still gets fatally zapped. Even when he ''doesn't'' get zapped, ''[[YankTheDogsChain he still]] [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption regenerates anyway]]'' because of a glitch.

* HeelFaceTurn: A ''lot'' of formerly villainous loopers have chilled out sinc the loops begin. Examples include:

* ContinuityDrift: [[UpToEleven Even worse then normal.]] Because of the nature of Attack on Titan's still developing story line and expanding loops, coupled with it's [[ButterflyOfDoom spectacularly unlikely chain of events]] that occurs through out the story, and the fact that no one [[OntologicalMystery really knows what's happening behind all the scenes]], everything from the contents of Grisha's basement to the spelling and pronunciation of names is basically a dice roll. The issues are Lampshaded by Jean, who considers the whole situation annoying.

* [[MyMasterRightOrWrong My Brothers, Right or Wrong]]: Non-awake Mikasa's devotion to Eren is nearly fanatical, if tempered by her urge to protect him. In the loops, it's only [[UpToEleven ''grown'']], and extended to include Armin. It's so complete that the Sorting Hat is incapable of sorting her until Eren is sorted.

* YouCantFightFate: No matter what the Doctor does, his eleventh regeneration (The Tenth Doctor) keeps getting fatally zapped by a Dalek. Taken UpToEleven when it turns out it doesn't apply to Daleks. Even in a Bureau Loop, he still gets fatally zapped. Even when he ''doesn't'' get zapped, ''[[YankTheDogsChain he still]] [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption regenerates anyway]]'' because of a glitch.

[[folder:5 Nights At Freddy's Loops]]
* HeelFaceTurn: The animatronics become more benevolent post-Activation and a much needed HeelRealization.
* LighterAndSofter: ZigZagged. While the Looping versions of the animatronics eventually stop being homicidal, none of them are guaranteed to be Awake because all of their Loops' Anchors are night guards. Consequently, any given Loop in their branch can have all the animatronics be hostile, friendly, or some combination of the two.
* MythologyGag: Bonnie the Bunny changes gender much more often than other loopers because of the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys fandom confusing him for a girl repeatedly. (Foxy also suffered from this, but to a lesser extent.)
* MoodWhiplash: Nothing is more apparent than in the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' crossover and Ch. 4, where in the former, [[spoiler:The Purple Man goes into a creepy MotiveRant and then becomes Springtrap]], in the latter, [[spoiler:Mike finds himself facing something horrific, something [[NothingIsScarier we don't see.]]]]

* CastCalculus: Due to the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters that the loop has, the Author has become fond of classifying the loopers into neat little groups. A few include:

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This compilations encompases every cartoon that ever aired on the network, including, but not limited to: WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}, WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko, WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory, WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor, WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays, WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex, Toonami, WesternAnimation/AdventureTime, and many many more.

* 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|1993}} and... Alfred Pennysworth. And that was before the DC loopers got a devoted thread and sure expansion of their numbers.

[[folder:Final Fantasy Loops]]
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Not surprising, given there are over a dozen sub-branches, each with their own Anchor and Loopers.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Marvel Comics Loops]]
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: All the adult Fantastic Four, several X-Men and Avengers, Spider-Man, Squirrel Girl, and Nick Fury are all Loopers. Like DC, this list expanded with a thread on them.
[[/folder]]

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Eren booby trapped chocolate with explosives for Bertolt. [[NotSoStoic Mikasa ''tried'' to tell him it was a bad idea.]]

* AdultFear: Sasha's first loop ended with her [[spoiler: shot in the stomach and dead from blood lose.]] She [[HeroicBSOD thought she was in Hell when she woke up and had a psychotic break.]]
** Sasha is later shown to have developed a healthy fear of guns.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Monta during one loop has blue hair. Apparently it's his natural hair color that Loop.
