[[WMG:You're trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop right now, but your lack of Main/RippleEffectProofMemory prevents you from remembering.]]
* And today is your 395,011th iteration of today. Will you ever break the cycle?
* That's not true! That's exactly what the number was yesterday! But... uh oh, this is actually scarier than the alternative. Now I'm ''freaking out.''
* Which explains this sense of deja vu I have been experiencing lately...
** Wasn't it the [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya 15,498th]] cycle?
* Hey, in truth, the world is destroyed and recreated every Thursday, with all the memories from before, so, no need to worry. It's a perfectly normal process, and we don't feel pain. The Deja-Vu might be some bug in the Thursday program.
** [[TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy I never could get the hang of Thursdays.]]

[[#inhabitant]][[WMG: You are actually an inhabitant of your favorite book, movie, tv show, video game, etc. You yourself are trapped in some sort of coma. The reason you like the book/movie/game so much is that it is actually your real reality.]]

* I really have to avoid [[ElfenLied saving a naked pink haired girl]] from the ocean...or not.
* OMG!!! This explains everything! Everytime I see a flip cell phone, I keep wondering [[LifeImitatesArt where I've seen it before]]. I've always been accepting and supportive of people of different cultures, all my clothes tend to fall into the red, gold, or blue color scheme, and I definitely have a thing for GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe s. Well, armed with this knowledge I'm gonna head off and continue to [[StarTrek boldy go where no man has gone before!!!]]. Oh, drat, I keep getting stuck here.....which one of the five adventures am I a part of??
* So, did Joker or Robotnik knock me out or am I a SPARTAN?
* Also, your favorite character(s) was one of your friends before you entered the coma.
** Hmm... in other words: "It's-a me, [[SuperMarioBros Luigi!]]"
*** [[LargeHam NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!]]
* Apparently [[{{Idraena}} my]] home world [[{{Discworld}} floats through space, on the back of four giant elephants, which stand atop the great A'Tuin, star turtle, which swims ever onward through space]]. It's also a kind of snarky, AffectionateParody / {{Satire}} of this world which is approximately a hundred times more [[CrowningMoment/{{Discworld}} awesome. OH HELLS YEAH]].
* [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Well. That is incredibly not good.]]
** Tell me about it - I'm apparently a [[Main/BabylonFive psychic]] [[Main/StarTrek Federation officer]] [[Main/WheelOftime Asha'man]] leading a rebellion against [[WarHammer40000 the repressive Imperium of Man!]]

** [[Main/TengenToppaGurrenLagann At least MY reality is awesome. ]]
*** You are KAMINA?
*** [[spoiler: This event actually happens in the series itself, so it's entirely possible.]]
** [[DeathNote Aw]] [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya HELLS]] [[ExcelSaga YEAH]]
** By this logic, I could [[DungeonsAndDragons Plane Shift]] the EliteBeatAgents and get myself out of the coma. Screw it, I'm going to build a tower out of BoomBlox and watch it explode.
** I seem to be a member of the [[FruitsBasket Sohma]] family who's just turned off at the exit for the [[SilentHill Lakeview Hotel]]. Ouch.
** [[Series/DoctorWho See I'll just reverse the polarity there.]] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
** If this is true, then I'm a [[ChroniclesOfNarnia fallen star, or a nyad or pretty much anyone cool in this series]]. Which is just fantastic, I must say.
** Pleas tell me I'm [[RanmaOneHalf Ryoga and not Gosenkugi]]!
** [[KingdomHearts That would explain these weird thoughts i've been having lately. Like is any of this for real... or not?]] I genuinely have been having thoughts that I could have been Sora in another life. I could be a reincarnation, alternate timeline or parallel universe version of him. Or a number of other possibilities. Of course if it's true and the heartless attack this world, well, then this world is screwed. I must find one of those pods so Namine can restore my true memories. I just hope it won't mean my "summer vacation" is over.
** My favorite book/movie/tv show/video game changes frequently, so I must live in some epic crossover world. I win!
*** same here
** I'm the *** Batman.
** Oh Boy, Remind Me to Kick [[TheWorldEndsWithYou Joshua in the Butt]] for Putting Me in Britain... and Taking My memories... Again.
* So... I'm Billy Corgan? [[GainaxEnding I'm confused now.]]
* This would really explain the serious lust for the [[TheSilmarillion Silmarils]] I've been having lately...
* [[LuckyStar This explains why I don't do any homework and just play video games all day.]] And why I have the strange feeling that I was at one point in my life ([[{{Reincarnation}} or lives]]) a girl. My average height and incredible brain might be a fantasy. But I'm not athletic at all...
* So, I live in a Warhammer40,000/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha crossover universe and was friends with the Iron Warriors and Hayate's Lesbian Army? What the hell... screw it. That's awesome.
** I can actually see Teana fitting in well with the [[GauntsGhosts Ghosts.]] Repeat after me: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome "This is just a distraction."]]
* Good News: I'm in possession of a Stand by the name of Working Man! Bad News: I'm soon going to be detained, tortured and killed with fire by the Imperial Inquisition. Bugger.
* Hmm... I'm in my early 20s right now (got interested in this game series at age 17), am about average height or a little above, have blond hair and light eyes, wear green a lot, and absentmindedly swing sticks around like swords when I'm bored. [[TheLegendOfZelda This might actually make sense]].
* This might explain [[DeadpanSnarker why I feel snarky at times]], [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya why I feel like I want to meet something special]], and why [[{{nine}} I]] happen to like "Kentai Life Returns!"
* [[DeathNote So this is why I'm]] a BigEater with chronic insomnia and [[LonersAreFreaks a freakish loner]] whose name nobody knows how to spell. AMAZING.
* It all makes sense now... The previous [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar has died and this is all a hallucination as I'm waiting to be reborn into the next nation in the cycle...]]
* But that means that [[HPLovecraft I'm a bookish antiquarian from Providence]] who has recently lapsed into a deep coma brought about by study of the [[CosmicHorror darkest recesses]] of my family tree? In that case, I really don't want to wake up.
* So [[{{Noir-Okami}} I'm]] in a DeathNote / DetectiveConan / HarryPotter / {{Moonlight}} crossover. And L, Lupin, Heiji, KID, Mello, and Haibara are my friends. [[SarcasmMode Hells YEAH!]]
* Anyone else's [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi neck feel itchy all of a sudden? Hey, what's wrong with your eyes? Where's my baseball bat?]]
* [[SilentHill There was a person here. They're gone now.]]
* [[KingdomHearts Was that...? Was that supposed to be a joke? 'Cause I'm not laughing! How could you say that, even if it were true? ... I'm dreaming. But which parts... were the dream?]]
* ... But there's only like three people of my gender on my favorite show. I hope to God I'm [[DragonBall Bulma]], being Chi-Chi would suck.
* So I'm a [[{{Noir}} French]]-[[{{Madlax}} Nafrecian]] immigrant to [[{{Simoun}} Simulacrum]] who [[Series/DoctorWho travels time and space]] and [[SapphireAndSteel can freeze]] [[AvatarTheLastAirbender firebending]] [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha magical]] [[GundamWing mecha]]? FUCKIN' AMEN.
* Mine is a world of [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann manliness and hot blood]], [[RosarioToVampire cute monster girls]] and [[MahouSenseiNegima kickass magic]].\\ ... \\ Awesome!
* So, can I safely assume that my current state is a result of having barely survived [[{{Watchmen}} the giant squid attack]]?
* [[{{Marathon}} Be right back]], [[SealedEvilInACan preventing the release]] of the [[CosmicHorror W'rkncacnter]]. [[IDidWhatIHadToDo By any means necessary.]] I'll fix the formatting of that first link when I get back.
** Bad luck, dude. You're either a BoB, and probably doomed, a Phor, and definitely doomed, or one of Durandal's many chore monkeys. (If you actually were Durandal, you'd run this wiki)
* Let me get this straight. I'm a [[Main/NightOfTheLivingDead zombie killing]], [[Main/AceCombat fighter jet piloting]], [[Main/FullMetalAlchemist state dog]]? AWESOME!!!
* So I'm a [[{{Sliders}} world-hopping,]] [[PushingDaisies Pie-making, dead-waking,]] [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lord]] [[PowerRangers superhero in]] [[SuperSentai spandex,]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann that goes beyond the impossible,]] cool.
** No, you're in Bio-Armor. [[Main/MemeticMutation It's not spandex!]]
** Also, is your Tardis a Megazord capable of piercing the heavens, or simply a ''part'' of a megazord capable of piercing the heavens?
*** Part of.
* ****** yeah, I'm a [[{{Naruto}} ninja]]!
* So that means I live in a crossover world with practically every single video game, film, animated series, anime, TV series and web original, ****** yeah.
** I think you have an alternate reality of my life. . .
*** and mine...
**** And mine...
* OK, [[{{Bleach}} Me/Ichigo]] {{OTP}}!
* [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Oh]], [[{{starcontrol}} Hell]]... Wait [[{{silent hill}} Crap]]
* Ok, wait, let me get this straight ... so. I am a [[SherlockHolmes detective]] [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lord (lady?)]] [[AxisPowersHetalia anthropomorphic country]] who is pretty much linked to a ton of animes. ... cool!
* I'm an amiga mage, a pokemon in Ash's roster (I hope to god I'm Squirtle), a member of the Dai-gurren brigade, a Batman villaian, and a Panzer commander who fought aliens in an alternate World War 2. And possibly a magical ermine.
* If this is true, then once again in my life, I must ask: ''where'' is my [[{{Digimon}} handheld, magical-yet-somehow-not, intergalactic device]]?!?
* Does this still work if your favorite story is one you (thought that you) made up and haven't published yet?
* Okay, so let me get this straight: [[{{Tofu}} I]] am a [[ClockTower immortal serial killer]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann manly and hot-blooded]] [[ResidentEvil zombie killing and blond guy hating]] [[{{Digimon}} virtual]] [[SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters Badass Freakin']] [[{{Disgaea}} Overlord]] [[TheWorldEndsWithYou who's so Zetta fast]] [[IronMan that even Tony Stark couldn't keep up]] [[CthulhuMythos with me while I resurrect Cthulhu]] [[KillerGameMaster since I'm]] [[MagnificentBastard such a ****** ]] [[{{Persona3}} who loves to ****** with peoples minds]] [[{{Persona4}} and make them see the true horror that is themselves]] [[MetalGearSolid and also has ressessive gened clones]] [[SamusIsAGirl while hiding my gender from everyone]] [[DeathNote and on top of all that I have a Killer Notebook]] [[SonicTheHedgehog and may be a anthromorphic animal?]] [[WhatHaveIDone ...oh god.]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation * goes mad from the revelation* ]]
* This explains why I look like I crawled out of Tim Burton film.
* Sweet, I'm the [[FireEmblem tactician! ]]
* I... I work for [[MadScientist Jeb]] ''[[MaximumRide Batchelder]]''? Yes! ''Yes''! ''YES''! I get to experiment on the most annoying [[UnreliableNarrator idiot teenage girl]] in the world ''and'' have worse lines than any ten redshirts.
* This actually makes perfect sense. [[{{Disgaea}} I used to be human, so I'm clearly just dreaming about my former life]], [[VerbalTic dood]].
* which explains why im so [[HotBlooded testy]] all the time. i'm waiting for the coma/MindScrew level to kick off
* Wait a minute... If this is true... Then I'm [[VideoGame/PaperMario Dimentio]]! Ah ha ha.. Ciao!
** Darn it! You beat me to the punch, like a [[SonicTheHedgehog blue hedgehog]] [[TalksLikeASimile when pitted against a racecar]]. Oh well. Such is life. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go feed the [[HomestarRunner The Cheat]].
* Wait, so I'm a companion of some regeneration (please let it be 10) of [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]], and I am also a CIA agent who knows kung fu? AWESOME!
* [[OhCrap Considering]] [[LordOfTheRings my]] [[VideoGame/PaperMario many]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga interests]], [[DeathNote this]] [[KingdomHearts might]] [[DGrayMan not]] [[TheMatrix bode]] [[LegendOfZelda well]] [[DotHack for]] [[ChronoTrigger me]] [[{{Halo}} given]] [[{{Pokemon}} my]] [[ElderScrolls predisposition]] [[{{Fallout}} towards]] [[StarWars the]] [[SonicTheHedgehog villainous]] [[HalfLife acts]]/[[FinalFantasy villains]]. [[NightsIntoDreams But]] [[Series/DoctorWho then]] [[ProfessorLayton again]][[HarryPotter ...]]
* Does this mean I have to [[NightmareFuel fight]] [[EarthBound Giygas?]] Aw, ThisIsGonnaSuck.
* So I'm either [[KaraNoKyoukai a Japanese teenage girl that can kill anything,]] or a [[BulletHell bullet-dodging,]][[TimeStandsStill Time-Stopping,]] [[KnifeNut Knife-Throwing,]] [[{{Meido}} maid]] [[{{Touhou}} That works for deceptively young-looking vampires?]] Sweet. But one question, ''why the hell am I a '''guy?'''''
* So I come from a world on the [[{{Discworld}} back of a turtle]], [[DistrictNine aliens are in South Africa]], and I'm probably in a coma due to some accident that befell me while a [[Series/DoctorWho mysterious time-travelling alien]] was showing me around the [[MassEffect Citadel?]] Which is shame, because we were about to go to the year [[WarhammerFortyThousand 40,000]]. Or to visit the [[{{Firely}} Serenity]] Or was it one of [[{{Fringe}} Doctor Bishop's experiments]] gone wrong?
* Really? In that case, [[{{Firefly}} no power in the 'verse can stop me.]]
* Hmm... If that's true, that must mean I'm either a [[{{Pokemon}} Pokemon trainer]], or a magical being of [[WinxClub some]] [[{{WITCH}} sort...]]
* Well, my fellow [[{{VampireTheRequiem}} my other Kindred may be pissed that I'm breaking the masquerade]], however, [[TabletopGame/{{VampireTheMasquerade}} We Lasombra never quite cared about that useless thing]]. Perhaps you'll all [[{{CthulhuMythos}} Go Mad From the Revelation]]
* Really? Where's my Crowbar, [[HalfLife HEV suit]],[[GarrysMod spawn menu]], and [[TeamFortress2 hat]]?
* Shit yeah! [[DeathNote I'm the god of the new world!]] JUSTIIIICE
* Wait... does that make[[{{Elimyx}} This Troper]] the [[{{Spore}} evolutionary]] [[BlackAndWhite god]] of [[{{Bleach}} dead]] [[FullmetalAlchemist alchemists]]? When do I get to wake up?
* My interest in the [[CosmicHorrorStory Cosmic Horror]] genre, desire for immortality, [[furry]] interests, my liking for [[HermeticMagic]].... It all adds up. [[RubyQuest CJOPAZE]] [[CthulhuMythos FHTAGN]], INDEED!
* [[FridgeHorror Oh God]]... so that dream I had, where [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] took me as his companion, and we travelled to planets and he got caught and I woke up before I had a chance to save him...
* So I'm either [[KeroroGunso an alien frog]] or a [[CaveStory robot sent to a floating island]]. Or maybe there are three of me and [[Ben10AlienForce I went Echo Echo]].
* I'm a reincarnated! Or youma bait! Wait... So, I'm Naru Osaka? Dammit, I hit Nephrite and don't remember it! (Perhaps I'm Naru from the manga. It explains why I like nerdy boys so much.) And according to Naoko, I could be an alternative soldier of Earth, hooray!
* So that means [[Tropers/{{Animenutcase}} this troper]] is a [[DetectiveConan mystery-solving]], [[AoNoExorcist demon slaying]] [[AxisPowersHetalia anthropomorphic personification of a country]] (that happens to be a [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic pony]] that became a [[KingdomHearts Keyblade-wielding]] [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica magical girl]] in exchange for [[spoiler:[[DealWithTheDevil my soul]]]], then [[{{Lost}} crashed on a "deserted" island with hostile natives]], [[UminekoNoNakuKoroNi one of said hostile natives is my insane grandfather that I haven't seen in six years, and who is secretly planning to sacrifice the other survivors to revive his dead lover]]? I don't have time to worry about that! [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi My new friends are looking at me funny, I've just found out the horrible history of this place, my neck is starting to itch, I'm hearing too many footsteps, and I can't find my trusty baseball bat]]. Look, to my fellow tropers, if I don't make it back, please know that I loved you all, and please uncover the truth!
* So I'm living on a [[{{Discworld}} flat planet on the back of a giant space turtle]] where [[BioShock Objectivism and genetic engineering are everybody's way of life]], which is [[Series/DoctorWho invaded by aliens every few months, only to be saved by a guy in a phone box]] and is actually [[Literature/{{Coraline}} ruled by a creepy lady with buttons for eyes?]]
* I'm a [[{{Earthbound}} psychic]] [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya alien]] [[LuckyStar otaku]] [[HarryPotter witch]] apparently. Works for me!
* This revelation makes me a [[KingdomHearts key-bearing]], [[Film/{{Zombieland}} zombie-slaying]], [[FinalFantasyVI half-esper]], [[FinalFantasyVIII loner soldier]], who [[FinalFantasyVII weilds]] {{BFS}} who has a side job as an awesome [[SamuraiChamploo samurai]], travels with [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya a reality warper]], a [[CodeGeass man with a geass]], and a [[KingdomHearts blonde artist]], while watching [[SayonaraZetsubouSensei awesomely psychotic]] anime. Not to mention the fact that i'm a [[TheWorldEndsWithYou player]] who knows the [[StephenColbert the greatest man in the world]].
* This means I'm living in [[{{Discworld}} three]] [[{{Castle}} different]] [[SirAproposOfNothing universes]] and then some ... and not only am I ''not'' TheHero, I have [[Literature/GoodOmens friends on ''both'' sides]], Heaven and Hell, I am an obnoxiously infantile writer, I know [[AvatarTheLastAirbender the Avatar]] and I can do magic by just ''imagining'' it?? AWESOME. I ''like'' this theory.
* Oh god...is this why, upon replaying ''{{Cave Story}}'', I'm inexplicibly starting to [[{{Rooting For The Empire}} root for the Doctor]] and I have no idea why? ''Because he's me?''
* That explains it! Does that mean I'm really a [[AzumangaDaioh somewhat spacey]] [[ElfenLied genocidal mutant]] [[AceAttorney lawyer]] / [[OsuTatakaeOuendan cheerleader]] [[{{Persona}} who is being goaded by a guy in a butterfly mask to]] [[StrangeJouney go to hell]] [[SoulEater so I can stop insanity from spreading across the world]], and has a [[GitarooMan magical music weapon]], [[DevilSurvivor a kickass DS]], [[{{Knytt}} the Das Magdenburzka Martian Deathray Panzer Crawler]] and [[{{Patapon}} an army of eyeballs who follow my every command]]? And is friends with [[CaveStory two robots, a witch, a toaster-lunchbox-soap bar]], [[FrankenFran a cheery mad scientist]], [[TheWorldEndsWithYou Gay Jesus]] [[DissidiaFinalFantasy and a small squad of bishonen]]? WAKE ME UP!
* Well this means I'm a [[NeonGenesisEvangelion pilot with deep-rooted psychological issues]] trapped in a [[SilentHill creepy small town]] and I'm [[Baccano immortal]]. Great. If I wake up, I'm in a living hell that not even death can free me from.
* Okay, so I'm a half vampire from TheSagaOfDarrenShan who is searching for a Stone to give me my original body back, all the whilem I'm training creatures to fight eachother and become the champion and if that's not enough, I'm the son of Possideon and am destined to save the world. I get no hot girls then.
* Just so you all know, [[TeamFortress2 Pyro]] is a woman, a [[GundamWing Preventer]] (in the [[LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Special Victims Unit]]), [[SonictheHedgehog some sort of animal]], origanally from [[YellowSubmarine Pepper Land]], and is both a [[OnePiece pirate]] and a [[NarutoShippuden ninja]].
* So I'm a [[{{KingdomHearts}} Nobody]] [[{{MegamanBattleNetwork}} hacker]] [[{{Bokurano}} who is a potential pilot for a giant robot]] [[{{Submachine}} while [ruling/protecting] the world]] and [[{{GoldenSun}} alchemy?]] And I'm friends with [[{{KingdomHearts}} Axel, Namine]], [[{{FireEmblem}} and an army?]] WAKE UP!!!
* Wait... So, I'm either [[{{TheTudors}} reincarnated]] or I'm a [[{{Castle}} cop working with a mystery writer]]. Or else I was one of the kids in [[{{Fringe}} the cortexiphan trials]].
* [[KingdomHearts Wait, what was I about to type? *checks cue card* "If the subject fails to respo..."]] [[OhCrap Shi--]]
* So basically we are all interacting in a comatose universe and that the people who create the fandoms in this world are gods in their world but they just don't know it.
* Garrus? [-Tali?-] [--Legion??--] '''[[MassEffect2 SOMEBODYWAKEMEUPJESUSCHRIST]]'''
* So I'm a [[{{TeamFortress 2}} bat-wielding mercenary]] who [[{{Left4Dead}} kills zombies]], [[{{SuperMarioBros}} saves my kingdom's monarch on a daily basis]], [[{{TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess}} saves alternate dimensions from their deranged king]], and in my free time, I [[{{AnimalCrossing}} run around collecting money to pay my morgage.]] Huh.
* I'm a [[Series/DoctorWho time travelling alien]] [[{{Ben10}} who defeats other villains with an alien watch]], [[AmericanDad is also a CIA agent, who lives with an alien and a sentient goldfish]] [[TheSimpsons who are all yellow]]. [[HarryPotter Then I get accepted at a wizard school]] and [[RedDwarf three million years later, I'll be dead]]!
* Let's see...I live [[{{Discworld}} on a flat world on a gigantic space turtle]], where [[HumongousMecha giant robots]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann exist]]. There's also a [[FirstPersonSmartass snarky]], [[Awesome/TheDresdenFiles badass]] [[TheDresdenFiles private detective wizard]] running around solving paranormal mysteries and saving the world, and [[IndianaJones an archaeologist with a]] NiceHat obtaining rare artifacts to also save the world (mostly from ThoseWackyNazis), and because ItBelongsInAMuseum. And I'm friends with [[{{Determinator}} Vimes]], [[HotBlooded Kamina]], [[DeadpanSnarker Harry Dresden]], and [[CombatPragmatist Indy]] in this WorldOfBadass/[[WorldOfSnark snarkery]]. When do I wake up?
* So I'm a [[{{Regularshow}} Funny animal Groundskeeper who punches out cthuluh on a regular basis]] with my [[{{Fostershomeforimaginaryfriends}} Imaginary friend]] and I regularly visit [[{{TheMarvelousMisadventuresofFlapjack}} A candy bar]]. Eventually, the [[{{FusionFall}} planet will be thrown into an alien war]] Leading to the [[{{WesternAnimation/Adventuretime}} Apocolypse]]. Can I wake up now?

* But that means that [[HPLovecraft I'm a bookish antiquarian from Providence]] who has recently lapsed into a deep coma brought about by study of the [[CosmicHorror darkest recesses]] of my family tree? In that case, I really don't want to wake up.
* So [[{{Noir-Okami}} I'm]] in a DeathNote / DetectiveConan / HarryPotter / {{Moonlight}} crossover. And L, Lupin, Heiji, KID, Mello, and Haibara are my friends. [[SarcasmMode Hells YEAH!]]
* Anyone else's [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi neck feel itchy all of a sudden? Hey, what's wrong with your eyes? Where's my baseball bat?]]
* [[SilentHill There was a person here. They're gone now.]]
* [[KingdomHearts Was that...? Was that supposed to be a joke? 'Cause I'm not laughing! How could you say that, even if it were true? ... I'm dreaming. But which parts... were the dream?]]
* ... But there's only like three people of my gender on my favorite show. I hope to God I'm [[DragonBall Bulma]], being Chi-Chi would suck.
* So I'm a [[{{Noir}} French]]-[[{{Madlax}} Nafrecian]] immigrant to [[{{Simoun}} Simulacrum]] who [[Series/DoctorWho travels time and space]] and [[SapphireAndSteel can freeze]] [[AvatarTheLastAirbender firebending]] [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha magical]] [[GundamWing mecha]]? FUCKIN' AMEN.
* Mine is a world of [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann manliness and hot blood]], [[RosarioToVampire cute monster girls]] and [[MahouSenseiNegima kickass magic]].\\ ... \\ Awesome!
* So, can I safely assume that my current state is a result of having barely survived [[{{Watchmen}} the giant squid attack]]?
* [[{{Marathon}} Be right back]], [[SealedEvilInACan preventing the release]] of the [[CosmicHorror W'rkncacnter]]. [[IDidWhatIHadToDo By any means necessary.]] I'll fix the formatting of that first link when I get back.
** Bad luck, dude. You're either a BoB, and probably doomed, a Phor, and definitely doomed, or one of Durandal's many chore monkeys. (If you actually were Durandal, you'd run this wiki)
* Let me get this straight. I'm a [[Main/NightOfTheLivingDead zombie killing]], [[Main/AceCombat fighter jet piloting]], [[Main/FullMetalAlchemist state dog]]? AWESOME!!!
* So I'm a [[{{Sliders}} world-hopping,]] [[PushingDaisies Pie-making, dead-waking,]] [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lord]] [[PowerRangers superhero in]] [[SuperSentai spandex,]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann that goes beyond the impossible,]] cool.
** No, you're in Bio-Armor. [[Main/MemeticMutation It's not spandex!]]
** Also, is your Tardis a Megazord capable of piercing the heavens, or simply a ''part'' of a megazord capable of piercing the heavens?
*** Part of.
* ****** yeah, I'm a [[{{Naruto}} ninja]]!
* So that means I live in a crossover world with practically every single video game, film, animated series, anime, TV series and web original, ****** yeah.
** I think you have an alternate reality of my life. . .
*** and mine...
**** And mine...
* OK, [[{{Bleach}} Me/Ichigo]] {{OTP}}!
* [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Oh]], [[{{starcontrol}} Hell]]... Wait [[{{silent hill}} Crap]]
* Ok, wait, let me get this straight ... so. I am a [[SherlockHolmes detective]] [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lord (lady?)]] [[AxisPowersHetalia anthropomorphic country]] who is pretty much linked to a ton of animes. ... cool!
* I'm an amiga mage, a pokemon in Ash's roster (I hope to god I'm Squirtle), a member of the Dai-gurren brigade, a Batman villaian, and a Panzer commander who fought aliens in an alternate World War 2. And possibly a magical ermine.
* If this is true, then once again in my life, I must ask: ''where'' is my [[{{Digimon}} handheld, magical-yet-somehow-not, intergalactic device]]?!?
* Does this still work if your favorite story is one you (thought that you) made up and haven't published yet?
* Okay, so let me get this straight: [[{{Tofu}} I]] am a [[ClockTower immortal serial killer]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann manly and hot-blooded]] [[ResidentEvil zombie killing and blond guy hating]] [[{{Digimon}} virtual]] [[SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters Badass Freakin']] [[{{Disgaea}} Overlord]] [[TheWorldEndsWithYou who's so Zetta fast]] [[IronMan that even Tony Stark couldn't keep up]] [[CthulhuMythos with me while I resurrect Cthulhu]] [[KillerGameMaster since I'm]] [[MagnificentBastard such a ****** ]] [[{{Persona3}} who loves to ****** with peoples minds]] [[{{Persona4}} and make them see the true horror that is themselves]] [[MetalGearSolid and also has ressessive gened clones]] [[SamusIsAGirl while hiding my gender from everyone]] [[DeathNote and on top of all that I have a Killer Notebook]] [[SonicTheHedgehog and may be a anthromorphic animal?]] [[WhatHaveIDone ...oh god.]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation * goes mad from the revelation* ]]
* This explains why I look like I crawled out of Tim Burton film.
* Sweet, I'm the [[FireEmblem tactician! ]]
* I... I work for [[MadScientist Jeb]] ''[[MaximumRide Batchelder]]''? Yes! ''Yes''! ''YES''! I get to experiment on the most annoying [[UnreliableNarrator idiot teenage girl]] in the world ''and'' have worse lines than any ten redshirts.
* This actually makes perfect sense. [[{{Disgaea}} I used to be human, so I'm clearly just dreaming about my former life]], [[VerbalTic dood]].
* which explains why im so [[HotBlooded testy]] all the time. i'm waiting for the coma/MindScrew level to kick off
* Wait a minute... If this is true... Then I'm [[VideoGame/PaperMario Dimentio]]! Ah ha ha.. Ciao!
** Darn it! You beat me to the punch, like a [[SonicTheHedgehog blue hedgehog]] [[TalksLikeASimile when pitted against a racecar]]. Oh well. Such is life. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go feed the [[HomestarRunner The Cheat]].
* Wait, so I'm a companion of some regeneration (please let it be 10) of [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]], and I am also a CIA agent who knows kung fu? AWESOME!
* [[OhCrap Considering]] [[LordOfTheRings my]] [[VideoGame/PaperMario many]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga interests]], [[DeathNote this]] [[KingdomHearts might]] [[DGrayMan not]] [[TheMatrix bode]] [[LegendOfZelda well]] [[DotHack for]] [[ChronoTrigger me]] [[{{Halo}} given]] [[{{Pokemon}} my]] [[ElderScrolls predisposition]] [[{{Fallout}} towards]] [[StarWars the]] [[SonicTheHedgehog villainous]] [[HalfLife acts]]/[[FinalFantasy villains]]. [[NightsIntoDreams But]] [[Series/DoctorWho then]] [[ProfessorLayton again]][[HarryPotter ...]]
* Does this mean I have to [[NightmareFuel fight]] [[EarthBound Giygas?]] Aw, ThisIsGonnaSuck.
* So I'm either [[KaraNoKyoukai a Japanese teenage girl that can kill anything,]] or a [[BulletHell bullet-dodging,]][[TimeStandsStill Time-Stopping,]] [[KnifeNut Knife-Throwing,]] [[{{Meido}} maid]] [[{{Touhou}} That works for deceptively young-looking vampires?]] Sweet. But one question, ''why the hell am I a '''guy?'''''
* So I come from a world on the [[{{Discworld}} back of a turtle]], [[DistrictNine aliens are in South Africa]], and I'm probably in a coma due to some accident that befell me while a [[Series/DoctorWho mysterious time-travelling alien]] was showing me around the [[MassEffect Citadel?]] Which is shame, because we were about to go to the year [[WarhammerFortyThousand 40,000]]. Or to visit the [[{{Firely}} Serenity]] Or was it one of [[{{Fringe}} Doctor Bishop's experiments]] gone wrong?
* Really? In that case, [[{{Firefly}} no power in the 'verse can stop me.]]
* Hmm... If that's true, that must mean I'm either a [[{{Pokemon}} Pokemon trainer]], or a magical being of [[WinxClub some]] [[{{WITCH}} sort...]]
* Well, my fellow [[{{VampireTheRequiem}} my other Kindred may be pissed that I'm breaking the masquerade]], however, [[TabletopGame/{{VampireTheMasquerade}} We Lasombra never quite cared about that useless thing]]. Perhaps you'll all [[{{CthulhuMythos}} Go Mad From the Revelation]]
* Really? Where's my Crowbar, [[HalfLife HEV suit]],[[GarrysMod spawn menu]], and [[TeamFortress2 hat]]?
* Shit yeah! [[DeathNote I'm the god of the new world!]] JUSTIIIICE
* Wait... does that make[[{{Elimyx}} This Troper]] the [[{{Spore}} evolutionary]] [[BlackAndWhite god]] of [[{{Bleach}} dead]] [[FullmetalAlchemist alchemists]]? When do I get to wake up?
* My interest in the [[CosmicHorrorStory Cosmic Horror]] genre, desire for immortality, [[furry]] interests, my liking for [[HermeticMagic]].... It all adds up. [[RubyQuest CJOPAZE]] [[CthulhuMythos FHTAGN]], INDEED!
* [[FridgeHorror Oh God]]... so that dream I had, where [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] took me as his companion, and we travelled to planets and he got caught and I woke up before I had a chance to save him...
* So I'm either [[KeroroGunso an alien frog]] or a [[CaveStory robot sent to a floating island]]. Or maybe there are three of me and [[Ben10AlienForce I went Echo Echo]].
* I'm a reincarnated! Or youma bait! Wait... So, I'm Naru Osaka? Dammit, I hit Nephrite and don't remember it! (Perhaps I'm Naru from the manga. It explains why I like nerdy boys so much.) And according to Naoko, I could be an alternative soldier of Earth, hooray!
* So that means [[Tropers/{{Animenutcase}} this troper]] is a [[DetectiveConan mystery-solving]], [[AoNoExorcist demon slaying]] [[AxisPowersHetalia anthropomorphic personification of a country]] (that happens to be a [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic pony]] that became a [[KingdomHearts Keyblade-wielding]] [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica magical girl]] in exchange for [[spoiler:[[DealWithTheDevil my soul]]]], then [[{{Lost}} crashed on a "deserted" island with hostile natives]], [[UminekoNoNakuKoroNi one of said hostile natives is my insane grandfather that I haven't seen in six years, and who is secretly planning to sacrifice the other survivors to revive his dead lover]]? I don't have time to worry about that! [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi My new friends are looking at me funny, I've just found out the horrible history of this place, my neck is starting to itch, I'm hearing too many footsteps, and I can't find my trusty baseball bat]]. Look, to my fellow tropers, if I don't make it back, please know that I loved you all, and please uncover the truth!
* So I'm living on a [[{{Discworld}} flat planet on the back of a giant space turtle]] where [[BioShock Objectivism and genetic engineering are everybody's way of life]], which is [[Series/DoctorWho invaded by aliens every few months, only to be saved by a guy in a phone box]] and is actually [[Literature/{{Coraline}} ruled by a creepy lady with buttons for eyes?]]
* I'm a [[{{Earthbound}} psychic]] [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya alien]] [[LuckyStar otaku]] [[HarryPotter witch]] apparently. Works for me!
* This revelation makes me a [[KingdomHearts key-bearing]], [[Film/{{Zombieland}} zombie-slaying]], [[FinalFantasyVI half-esper]], [[FinalFantasyVIII loner soldier]], who [[FinalFantasyVII weilds]] {{BFS}} who has a side job as an awesome [[SamuraiChamploo samurai]], travels with [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya a reality warper]], a [[CodeGeass man with a geass]], and a [[KingdomHearts blonde artist]], while watching [[SayonaraZetsubouSensei awesomely psychotic]] anime. Not to mention the fact that i'm a [[TheWorldEndsWithYou player]] who knows the [[StephenColbert the greatest man in the world]].
* This means I'm living in [[{{Discworld}} three]] [[{{Castle}} different]] [[SirAproposOfNothing universes]] and then some ... and not only am I ''not'' TheHero, I have [[Literature/GoodOmens friends on ''both'' sides]], Heaven and Hell, I am an obnoxiously infantile writer, I know [[AvatarTheLastAirbender the Avatar]] and I can do magic by just ''imagining'' it?? AWESOME. I ''like'' this theory.
* Oh god...is this why, upon replaying ''{{Cave Story}}'', I'm inexplicibly starting to [[{{Rooting For The Empire}} root for the Doctor]] and I have no idea why? ''Because he's me?''
* That explains it! Does that mean I'm really a [[AzumangaDaioh somewhat spacey]] [[ElfenLied genocidal mutant]] [[AceAttorney lawyer]] / [[OsuTatakaeOuendan cheerleader]] [[{{Persona}} who is being goaded by a guy in a butterfly mask to]] [[StrangeJouney go to hell]] [[SoulEater so I can stop insanity from spreading across the world]], and has a [[GitarooMan magical music weapon]], [[DevilSurvivor a kickass DS]], [[{{Knytt}} the Das Magdenburzka Martian Deathray Panzer Crawler]] and [[{{Patapon}} an army of eyeballs who follow my every command]]? And is friends with [[CaveStory two robots, a witch, a toaster-lunchbox-soap bar]], [[FrankenFran a cheery mad scientist]], [[TheWorldEndsWithYou Gay Jesus]] [[DissidiaFinalFantasy and a small squad of bishonen]]? WAKE ME UP!
* Well this means I'm a [[NeonGenesisEvangelion pilot with deep-rooted psychological issues]] trapped in a [[SilentHill creepy small town]] and I'm [[Baccano immortal]]. Great. If I wake up, I'm in a living hell that not even death can free me from.
* Okay, so I'm a half vampire from TheSagaOfDarrenShan who is searching for a Stone to give me my original body back, all the whilem I'm training creatures to fight eachother and become the champion and if that's not enough, I'm the son of Possideon and am destined to save the world. I get no hot girls then.
* Just so you all know, [[TeamFortress2 Pyro]] is a woman, a [[GundamWing Preventer]] (in the [[LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Special Victims Unit]]), [[SonictheHedgehog some sort of animal]], origanally from [[YellowSubmarine Pepper Land]], and is both a [[OnePiece pirate]] and a [[NarutoShippuden ninja]].
* So I'm a [[{{KingdomHearts}} Nobody]] [[{{MegamanBattleNetwork}} hacker]] [[{{Bokurano}} who is a potential pilot for a giant robot]] [[{{Submachine}} while [ruling/protecting] the world]] and [[{{GoldenSun}} alchemy?]] And I'm friends with [[{{KingdomHearts}} Axel, Namine]], [[{{FireEmblem}} and an army?]] WAKE UP!!!
* Wait... So, I'm either [[{{TheTudors}} reincarnated]] or I'm a [[{{Castle}} cop working with a mystery writer]]. Or else I was one of the kids in [[{{Fringe}} the cortexiphan trials]].
* [[KingdomHearts Wait, what was I about to type? *checks cue card* "If the subject fails to respo..."]] [[OhCrap Shi--]]
* So basically we are all interacting in a comatose universe and that the people who create the fandoms in this world are gods in their world but they just don't know it.
* Garrus? [-Tali?-] [--Legion??--] '''[[MassEffect2 SOMEBODYWAKEMEUPJESUSCHRIST]]'''
* So I'm a [[{{TeamFortress 2}} bat-wielding mercenary]] who [[{{Left4Dead}} kills zombies]], [[{{SuperMarioBros}} saves my kingdom's monarch on a daily basis]], [[{{TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess}} saves alternate dimensions from their deranged king]], and in my free time, I [[{{AnimalCrossing}} run around collecting money to pay my morgage.]] Huh.
* I'm a [[Series/DoctorWho time travelling alien]] [[{{Ben10}} who defeats other villains with an alien watch]], [[AmericanDad is also a CIA agent, who lives with an alien and a sentient goldfish]] [[TheSimpsons who are all yellow]]. [[HarryPotter Then I get accepted at a wizard school]] and [[RedDwarf three million years later, I'll be dead]]!
* Let's see...I live [[{{Discworld}} on a flat world on a gigantic space turtle]], where [[HumongousMecha giant robots]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann exist]]. There's also a [[FirstPersonSmartass snarky]], [[Awesome/TheDresdenFiles badass]] [[TheDresdenFiles private detective wizard]] running around solving paranormal mysteries and saving the world, and [[IndianaJones an archaeologist with a]] NiceHat obtaining rare artifacts to also save the world (mostly from ThoseWackyNazis), and because ItBelongsInAMuseum. And I'm friends with [[{{Determinator}} Vimes]], [[HotBlooded Kamina]], [[DeadpanSnarker Harry Dresden]], and [[CombatPragmatist Indy]] in this WorldOfBadass/[[WorldOfSnark snarkery]]. When do I wake up?
* So I'm a [[{{Regularshow}} Funny animal Groundskeeper who punches out cthuluh on a regular basis]] with my [[{{Fostershomeforimaginaryfriends}} Imaginary friend]] and I regularly visit [[{{TheMarvelousMisadventuresofFlapjack}} A candy bar]]. Eventually, the [[{{FusionFall}} planet will be thrown into an alien war]] Leading to the [[{{WesternAnimation/Adventuretime}} Apocolypse]]. Can I wake up now?



[[WMG: The universe won't actually exist until August of 2008.]]
See the ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu]]'' entry for details. Or don't, given that it doesn't actually exist. Nor does this entry. Or you, for that matter.
* Alternatively, we exist in an extremely dull universe prior to the "Reboot" of August 2008.
* GFNW (Gordon Freeman Never Wins) changes all that. See, Gordon had bested Phoenix Wright in a WMG/{{GameFAQs}} Character Contest. By breaking GFNW, Gordon's fans already radically altered the universe. ...Now that I think of it, maybe by August 2008, the universe will return to existence.
* Of course, this means that we are currently living out Main/FakeMemories of stuff we "did" before the universe existed, and we have the illusion of free will because we can't, for some reason, access the "memories" of what we will have done between now and August 2008. This means we're living out [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Instrumentality]]?
* It's also possible that the world was created in its current form July 7 of ''2007''. After all, how would we know? If this date is true, the world was altered ''again'' starting around four o'clock this morning to reverse most of the interesting changes; however, it's probably been put back in order by now.
* We're all really only a thing in a dream. Of the Red King. Or maybe the White King... I forget which one is Shai'tan...
* No, actually it's that we're in the Wired.
* Neat the universe just started existing three days ago...
** Not for a few days, actually. We won't exist for another four days or so.
* Today's the day!
* Gotta say, I'm disappointed.
* Given how little characterization and description all countries besides Japan receive in the novels, This Troper doubts there will be any noticeable "change" for quite some time, and is also disappointed.

[[WMG: TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt will occur on December 12, 2012]]
So says the Mayan Long Count Calendar, which abruptly stops on that date. As the Mayans can most definitely Do No Wrong, this ''must'' be an entirely accurate prediction of the end of the universe, and couldn't possibly be because they got tired of chiseling dates they would never see into stone.
* This ''definitely'' isn't a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar, around the same level of mistaking the end of a day for the end of a year.
** Also take into account that the Long Count begins somewhere around 3000 BC. It stands to reason that if the world ends when the calendar ends, the world also began when the calendar begins. This would mean all those wacky Christians who claim the world is only a few thousand years old ... are actually right.
*** Except they think the world began in 4004 BC, a thousand years earlier. So they're wrong because they think the Earth is too ''old'', which is a heck of a switch.
* Alternately, the next "cosmic realignment" simply refers to when the magnetic poles are going to vanish as Earth's magnetic reversal begins.
* Just to clarify: The Mayan calendar does not abruptly stop. It specifically says that, on December 22nd, 2012, at 11:11 am GMT, the world will end. When I say 11:11am GMT, I'm translating the prophecy into our timekeeping system. Obviously, the Mayans called it something else, so the "But the Mayans didn't have GMT" argument is invalid.
** It must also be remembered that the Mayan definition of "world" was not quite the same as a modern astronomer's. Incidentally, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacal_the_Great King Pacal]] predicted that his reign would still be celebrated on what we would call October 11, 4772. It would sure surprise the Mayans that they predicted the end of the world in 2012.
* But the good news is that this has happened four times before, and humans will survive. And also you don't have to buy Christmas presents for anyone in 2012.
* Granted, Nostradamus predicted the end of the world to be in 1999, and the Bible Code claimed it'd be in 2006. Both years have passed and the world is still standing, so it's probably not a good idea to count on this one either.
** RuleOfThree dude, we're screwed.
*** We are waaaaay past three predictions for the end of the world. I think we're good. Until we do it ourselves, that is.
* When, specifically,the world ends does not really matter because we will all fade into nothingness.
* The Mayan Calendar does not end; it just doesn't have any more cycles after this one. So, starting December 11th 2012, it's one big GroundhogDayLoop for all.
* {{Jossed}}. The world as the Mayan's knew it ended much earlier than their predictions when they met a nice man named Cortez who was carrying butt loads of germs they were not immune too...
** That Joss has been {{Jossed}} : the Mayans at their height fell around the time of Charlemagne (around 800 AD), when, well nobody is quite sure what happened. The nice man called Cortez came around 1500. In short, saying that Cortez destroyed Mayan civilization is on par with saying Genghis Khan destroyed the Romans. Also, there are are actually [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_peoples Mayan people]] around today.
*** To explain: civilization collapse is what happens when you don't fully understand the power of the volcano.
** Their world might have ended, but I'm pretty sure we'll meet the Anti-Spiral Force in 2012.
*** Better get our [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gunmen...]]
* You know when that date comes around I'm going to go around singing as many upbeat apocalypse songs as I can Ex. How far we've come
* Happy 2012 everyone!
* The world will in by 21 December 2012,because everyone will laugh so hard it didn't come we all have heart attacks from laughing and die

[[WMG: The world will meet its end on July 5, any year now.]]
[[http://www.subgenius.com "Bob" sold it. I bought it. That settles it.]]
* Nah, you got it wrong, it ends and restarts every Thursday, like a computer boot.

[[WMG: Your brain is the ultimate computer...]]
And that's why it breaks a lot. [[Tropers/{{Ptitlevos5dvs8}} I]] experienced a mental [=BSOD=] (''not'' a HeroicBSOD) a few times in my sleep.

[[WMG: The world we live in is a Main/MirrorUniverse where everything is topsy turvy from the "correct" one.]]
Think about it. We live in a world where, quite often, evil is more proliferate and successful than good. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. We all exist in a twisted universe where evil triumphs over good, doesn't that just explain everything? This means that we are the evil usses.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Forms Plato invented this theory]].
* Where's my goatee then?
** Ahh, but remember, we're in the mirror world, so everything is backwards, even our media. So therefore it's actually the people who AREN'T in a mirror universe that all have goatees.
*** Does that make [[http://www.bookofratings.com/archive.html Lore Sjoberg]] Jesus?
** More to the point, Mirror Spock had a goatee and was by far the closest thing the Mirror universe had to good.
* Now you're just being silly and mixing up star trek and reality.
* I've got one, and very few people in Star Trek's Mirror Universe had them, so...

Think about it. We live in a world where, quite often, evil is more proliferate and successful than good. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. We all exist in a twisted universe where evil triumphs over good, doesn't that just explain everything? This means that we are the evil usses.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Forms Plato invented this theory]].
* Where's my goatee then?
** Ahh, but remember, we're in the mirror world, so everything is backwards, even our media. So therefore it's actually the people who AREN'T in a mirror universe that all have goatees.
*** Does that make [[http://www.bookofratings.com/archive.html Lore Sjoberg]] Jesus?
** More to the point, Mirror Spock had a goatee and was by far the closest thing the Mirror universe had to good.
* Now you're just being silly and mixing up star trek and reality.
* I've got one, and very few people in Star Trek's Mirror Universe had them, so...

[[WMG:The world is a giant video game.]]
And North America the place where the hero is from. That's why there's 50 states in the US and 13 provinces/territories in Canada, both significant numbers in-game. Hawaii is the [[Main/BeachEpisode Beach Level]] and Alaska the Main/SlippySlideyIceWorld, the east coast is one giant Main/AdventureTowns, the American southwest deserts are the desert level, the northwest US and British Columbia are Main/TheLostWoods, the prairies Main/GhibliHills and the everglades are the swamp level. Northern Canada is Main/{{Mordor}}, meaning that global warming is actually the game getting closer to completion as the hero gets closer to the final battle (which still means the end of the world from our perspective). Mexico is the Main/ExpansionPackWorld, and the rest of the planet is the settings for other games in the series. At least two have already been completed with the fall of Nazi Germany and the shift of power in favor of the US at the end of the cold war. The next game will take place in China.

The extremist movements that appear today are in fact the [[FanDumb Fan Dumb]]. Prophets might have been [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fanboys]].
* This is a giant MMO. Wars happen on PvP maps. Certain actions by enough players can turn a map into a PvP map. When no one is using them anymore the PvP maps become peacful again (the most popular maps for this being the desert maps in the Middle East, although Europe is pretty popular too). When you die you are sent to the Afterlife, where you can either stay or be respawned as a new character (at the cost of having to start at level one). Your age is your level. Exp is gathered as long as you keep playing. Every few levels your character's rank changes (Infant being the earliest rank, then Toddler, and so on) and you gain new abilities and quests. The game's difficulty increases as your rank does. At the higher levels your stats begin to lower until your character automatically dies.

* Hallucinogens = Items that were never programmed properly. Cause glitches when used.
* Equipping yourself with a tuxedo gives a bonus to charisma.
* This is how i see it: God created the game. we are the players,and we all are our character avatars. It's like an [[MMORPG Massive Multiplayer]] but has an ending and the characters can't revive themselves. Religions are the game rules,[[TheBible The Bible,Quran..etc]] are the within-game game guides. The cause of all the shit made in name of religion and all the [[FantasticReligiousWeirdness weirdness in religion]] are the [[Straw Fan Straw Fans]] [[FanWank making up alot of stuff on their own]]. The extremist movements that appear today are in fact the [[FanDumb Fan Dumb]]. Prophets might have been [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fanboys]].
* This is a giant MMO. Wars happen on PvP maps. Certain actions by enough players can turn a map into a PvP map. When no one is using them anymore the PvP maps become peacful again (the most popular maps for this being the desert maps in the Middle East, although Europe is pretty popular too). When you die you are sent to the Afterlife, where you can either stay or be respawned as a new character (at the cost of having to start at level one). Your age is your level. Exp is gathered as long as you keep playing. Every few levels your character's rank changes (Infant being the earliest rank, then Toddler, and so on) and you gain new abilities and quests. The game's difficulty increases as your rank does. At the higher levels your stats begin to lower until your character automatically dies.
* Let's just say Canada is the BreatherLevel, and the US Military is the WarmUpBoss.
