Line #6 FanFic/ThatGuyWithTheGlassesInSpace


1	Despite the silly sounding title, this is DarkFic written by freya_sacksen on live journal. It basically takes group of nerdy, fun internet personas of [[Website/ChannelAwesome That Guy With The Glasses]] and turns them into [[BreakTheCutie broken]] but very, ''very'' badass [[TheWoobie woobies]] due to war and experiments. They have been split up into Factions. The main focus is on the Anti-Factionists, which consists of [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Nostalgia Chick]], [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], That Chick with the Goggles, and WebVideo/MarzGurl.

5	Seeing as how this is a verse, others in the fandom and freya herself have done other one-shot fics for it. These have a lot more pairings, can be anywhere in the timeline and to be fitting, most of them are also DarkFic: [[http://aunt-zelda.livejournal.com/134743.html Breaking Up Is Hard To Do]], [[http://emeriin.livejournal.com/71708.html I See No Wrinkles Here]], [[http://freya-sacksen.livejournal.com/14914.html Despair, Tears and Home]], [[http://freya-sacksen.livejournal.com/21210.html Lonely]], [[http://freya-sacksen.livejournal.com/12896.html Music and Forever in The Black]], [[http://freya-sacksen.livejournal.com/22460.html Till The Sun Breaks Down]], [[http://freya-sacksen.livejournal.com/28776.html Blood, Loneliness and Hope]], [[http://freya-sacksen.livejournal.com/29021.html Spun Sugar]] and the sequel [[http://freya-sacksen.livejournal.com/41382.html Heavy Things]], [[http://community.livejournal.com/tgwtg_fic/45545.html What We Are In The Dark]], [[http://community.livejournal.com/tgwtg_fic/14563.html The Persistence Of Memory]] and [[http://community.livejournal.com/tgwtg_fic/57201.html Cold Comfort]].

9	----
10	!!''That Guy With the Glasses In Space'' has examples of:
11
12	%% * ActionGirl: All the females of the cast.
13	* AdaptationalBadass: The cast in general, especially if you see the characters as unthreatening in real life.
14	* ArtificialLimbs: The majority of the cast has these, or they are cyborgs.
15	% * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: Alas Insano, we hardly knew ye.]]
16	* {{Break The Cutie}}: Well, yeah... The prequel's worse in this regard, as we get to see the breakage of these funny, adorable people in full detail.
17	%% * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Sure sounds like this is happening to the cast.
18	%% * {{Cyborg}}: Lots of the cast.
19	* DarkerAndEdgier: Oh yes!
20	** And had an impact on the fandom too. Before this came along, the fics were all fun and light and cracky. Afterwards, half of the new fic was and is some serious DarkFic.
21	%% * DeadpanSnarker: Did you ''really'' think otherwise?
22	%% * DeceptivelySillyTitle
23	* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: Spoony rescues Critic and gives him the clue he needs to prevent it all happening...with a ''knife in his gut''.]]
24	* DistressedDude: After the battle of Santa Muerte, [[spoiler: the Nostalgia Critic got captured by Ask That Guy and Dr. Insano]].
25	* DyingAlone: In the epilogue, [[spoiler: the Nostalgia Critic.]] [[spoiler: Until Ask That Guy comes along with the implication of a StableTimeLoop, anyway.]]
26	* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Well, pretty much everyone. But [[{{Determinator}} Spoony]] [[RasputinianDeath deserves]] [[TakingYouWithMe a]] [[DiedInYourArmsTonight special]] [[EverybodysDeadDave mention.]] ]]
27	* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Everyone dies horribly after being forced by Ask That Guy to fight each other, there's a brief HopeSpot of Nostalgia Critic (dressed like ATG) going back in time and stopping the brawl, but then Present!Ask That Guy finds his dead body and gets the idea to start the whole thing from that.]]
28	** Well...according to the author herself, [[spoiler: the ending is intended to be open to the interpretation of the reader, and "just because Ask That Guy plans it, doesn't mean it occurs in this universe. It just means he wants to do it."]]
29	* [[FauxActionGirl Faux Action Boy]]: Narrowly averted. In the main fic, Critic doesn't really do anything other than show up captured and fail to save everyone. In the prequel, we find out why he was worthy as a leader.
30	* GeneralRipper: The Battalion Faction is commonly viewed as having deliberately adopted a philosophy that will justify Suede's repeated attempts on Benzaie's life. Suede's dialogue does ''nothing'' to convince us otherwise.
31	* HammerSpace: Where in the ''hell'' do Paw's guns come from?! [[spoiler: Even the author doesn't know!]]
32	%% * HealingFactor: Linkara. Suede has one, too. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]
33	* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: Nostalgia Critic stopped the brawl dressed as Ask That Guy thereby ensuring the war will never happen!]] Everything will be okay, right? '''[[DownerEnding Wrong!]]'''
34	%% * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Linkara.]]
35	* ImStandingRightHere: WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick goes on about how [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] could possibly kill himself slipping on a set of scaffolding and falling to his death, leaving [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] in charge. She then runs down the list of bad things that could happen if that happens. Linkara is about five feet away from her when she does.
36	%% * ItHasBeenAnHonor: [[spoiler: Y to Film Brian.]]
37	%% * KnightTemplarBigBrother: Linkara for WebVideo/MarzGurl. Hurt her and you will suffer. [[PapaWolf More than you will now, even.]]
38	%% * MyFavoriteShirt: You do ''not'' break Paw's headphones. [[BerserkButton You just don't.]]
39	%% * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sorry, [[spoiler: Nostalgia Critic]].
40	%% * OnlySaneMan: Spoony and Handsome Tom, although sanity is relative.
41	* PlayingWithSyringes: The whole cast has been experimented on in some way or another.
42	%% * {{Rasputinian Death}}
43	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Why [[spoiler: Nostalgia Critic goes back in time.]] [[DownerEnding Doesn't work]].
44	* ShoutOut: One of the installments is named after Creator/SalvadorDali's "Art/ThePersistenceOfMemory".
45	%% * StableTimeLoop: Suggested by the Epilogue.
46	%% * TheFutureIsNoir: At least in theme and tone.
47	%% * UnwillingRoboticisation: Sounds like this happened to the cast.
48	%% * WrenchWench: Goggles.
