5	We're All Doomed is a ForWantOfANail story, following a universe in which Vriska decides not to prevent John from prototyping Jade's sprite with the doll. As a result Jack Noir is killed on the first page, simultaneously disappearing from the trolls' universe. The apparently positive outcome has a huge downside: the trolls and the humans are now both stuck in a doomed offshoot timeline.

7	What follows is an overview of their efforts to cope with the situation, whether it is through fighting for their lives, having committee meetings, or just fooling around.

9	----
10	!!This fanfic has the following tropes:
11	%%* AlternateUniverseFic
12	* {{Anticlimax}}: So, remember Jack Noir? Getting prototyped with a doll that lacks arms, legs, and eyes ended poorly for him.
13	* CookingDuel: The Rap-Off Slam Battle between Dave and Tavros [[spoiler:(and Doc Scratch)]].
14	* CurbStompBattle: If it weren't for [[spoiler: Equius realizing his void powers]], Gamzee would have gotten away with killing everyone.
15	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Doc Scratch is deliberately provoked into killing rage because as dangerous as he is in combat, he's even worse [[ManipulativeBastard out of it]].
16	%%* DoomedProtagonist: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin yes.]]
17	* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Equius discovers his power as the Heir Of Void just in time to help control Gamzee.]]
18	%%* FakingTheDead
19	* FearfulSymmetry: The title of a chapter in which the insane and regular Gamzee interact using Trollian.
20	* FixFic: To some extent. A number of things actually go for the better compared to canon.
21	* ForegoneConclusion: Sober!Gamzee's talk with his stoned self ends with Stoned!Gamzee from the future contacting him.
22	* ForWantOfANail: The entire timeline comes about as a result of Vriska making a different decision.
23	* FridgeBrilliance: It was recently revealed that [[spoiler: without Jack travelling through the Scratch, Doc Scratch would not have been created, as one of his primary components came from the kid's universe. No wonder he's so pissed.]]
24	* GenreSavvy: The trolls know enough to avoid Monster Movie mistakes.
25	* GoKartingWithBowser: Gamzee stops trying to kill off the trolls long enough to judge a Slam Poetry contest.
26	* IWantMyJetpack: Davesprite theorizes that in the future everyone will have jetpacks and flying cars and there'll be robots everywhere. About twelve hours in the future, to be specific.
27	* LameComeback: When Sollux [[spoiler:explodes Doc Scratch's typewriter]], he can't come up with a suitably awesome verbal jab to accompany it.
28	* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: motherfucking future, crazy, gamzee tries to convince everyone he's motherfucking fine. WHILE USING HIS MOTHERFUCKING INSANE TYPING QUIRK INSTEAD OF HIS MOTHERFUCKING SANE VERSION. No one's fooled.
29	** When PlayingCyrano, Nepeta is mOST DEFINITELY tAVROS nITRAM, aND IS PURRRFECTLY SHOCKED THAT YOU WOULD THINK OTHERWISE. Fortunately, Jade is not perceptive enough to be suspicious.
30	* PaperThinDisguise: ''Every'' troll sees through Crazy!Gamzee's attempt to convince them he's normal.
31	* PlayingCyrano: Nepeta, sort of. Tavros should really have kept a closer eye on his spare computers. Or at least logged off.
32	* ProperlyParanoid: Faced with impending doom, the trolls go all-out with safety measures, which actually end up protecting them from some of the less pleasant canon events.
33	* RocksFallEveryoneDies: [[spoiler:[[EverybodyLives Only not.]]]]
34	* TheRoleplayer: The entire point of the Roleplaying Subcommittee. [[TheMunchkin Vriska]] is banned from the get-go, before a single line is typed, but they manage to convert Eridan after a few false starts.
35	%%* SeriousBusiness: Demerits.
36	%%* ShipperOnDeck: Tavros has begun gathering an armada.
37	* ShoutOut: Many, including Literature/{{Discworld}}, Webcomic/BobAndGeorge, and Creator/WilliamShakespeare.
38	%%* ShutUpHannibal: [=HoNk=].
39	%%* SleepCute: Aradia, Equius, and Nepeta.
40	* TitleDrop: Thread title drop for the forum it was originally posted on.
41	* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: {{Invoked}} by the time-traveling trio, who freely admit they're keeping certain characters in the dark about their ''actual'' role in their plans.
42	* VastBureaucracy: Kanaya seems intent on forming one and is mainly limited by the number of subjects and the fact that there's only sixteen people to join all of them.
43	* VillainousBreakdown: Doc Scratch does ''not'' take it well when [[spoiler:Vriska opens up one of their chatlogs to the whole group so that '''everyone''' can tell him off]].
44	* WhenSheSmiles: Aradia finally figures out how to make her emoticon smile.
45	* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:Tavros to Vriska when she tries to forcibly ascend John]].
