5''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8404380/1/Paint-it-Green-Blue-Black Paint It Green, Blue, Black]]'' is a dark oneshot fanfic based off of the cartoon ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends''.

7----
8!!''Paint It Green, Blue, Black'' provides examples of:
9
10* AbusiveParents: Vendetta has the vague line "They made me feel like I was two inches tall, so I made THEM two inches tall." that implies her parents were emotionally abusive.
11* AdaptationalVillainy: Charlotte snaps and turns evil.
12* DarkFic: The story takes the dark tones of the cartoon and rolls with it. Vendetta is a genuinely evil child who unashamedly kills people. Charlotte becomes her accomplice and is so creepy that she even weirds out Vendetta.
13* DeathByAdaptation:
14** Charlotte's parents may-or-may-not be alive in the cartoon canon. Here, they were murdered by TheMafia years ago.
15** Charlotte and Vendetta murder [[spoiler:Charlotte's grandmother]].
16* EnfantTerrible:
17** Vendetta. When Charlotte describes her parents murder, Vendetta takes notes.
18** Charlotte is just as bad as Vendetta (if not worse) but it takes a nudge to unlock her dark side. She even weirds ''Vendetta'' out.
19* ForTheEvulz: Vendetta is an anarchist who likes being evil just because she finds it fun.
20* InnocenceLost: After remembering her parent's death, Charlotte loses her borderline-delusional innocence. This depression eventually leads into rage.
21* KindheartedCatLover: The kindhearted Charlotte's bed quilt has kitten designs on it.
22* NeverSayDie: The word does get used, but so does "destroy". In this case, "destroying" someone implies something more "brutal" than just "killing" them.
23* PuppyLove: Charlotte and Vendetta are elementary schoolers at oldest and are implied to be in love. In their case, it's [[UnholyMatrimony less than cute]].
24* ReleasedToElsewhere: Charlotte's grandmother lied to her and told her that her dead parents were astronauts.
25* RepressedMemories: The fanfic starts when Charlotte recalls the memory of seeing her parents murdered while she hid in a closet.
26* SanitySlippage: Charlotte's facade breaking quickly leads to her sanity slipping. It's lampshaded by Vendetta:
27-->"I am thinking you have lost whatever sanity you have left"
28* SelfMadeOrphan: Subverted. Vendetta gets upset when Charlotte asks her why she left her parents alive.
29* SlashFic: It's not the focus, but it is heavy on Vendetta/Charlotte subtext. It's implied that Vendetta and Charlotte become a couple.
30* ShoutOut: The title is a reference to the song "Paint It Black".
31* TitledAfterTheSong: The title is inspired by Music/TheRollingStonesBand' "Paint It Black".
