11	->''"This cage is vast, it has no walls. While I stand still all I see is a white plain stretching across an equally blank sky. There is no life in this place."''

13
14	A dimension of eternal whiteness. A blank slate. It might represent eternity, nothingness itself, or it might be a VoidBetweenTheWorlds. Can also be a realm which [[MentalWorld exists only in the mind]] or a PocketDimension. Could even be black, depending on the creator's preference. If this is used as a prison, expect it to be SealedRoomInTheMiddleOfNowhere.
15
16	A room which ''appears'' to be a Blank White Void but actually has white walls, a floor and ceiling is a WhiteVoidRoom. Compare FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue, where this is a stylistic choice. Compare and contrast InTheDoldrums, an often-overlapping trope where the space is maddeningly empty and calm.

22	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
23	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
24	** The [[YearInsideHourOutside Hyberbolic Time Chamber]], a.k.a. the Room of Space and Time, from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' looks like a small but ornate building with two huge hourglasses flanking it, all of which is located in a white void.
25	** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', when [[TopGod Zen'o]] destroys the multiverse in the Future Trunks timeline, all that's remains is a blank void of sparkly glitter that Zen'o is left drifting in.
26	* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', any alchemist who opens the GateOfTruth is transported to a white void.
27	* In ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', the 12th [[EldritchAbomination Angel]] Leliel's body is comprised of a black VoidBetweenTheWorlds known as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_sea Dirac sea,]] which Ritsuko hypothesizes is connected another universe to theirs.
28	%%* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': Zone resides in one of these.
29	[[/folder]]

31	[[folder:Comic Books]]
32	* ''ComicBook/BlackMoonChronicles'': Lucifer is banished to a featureless white dimension after he invades the second Earth. [[spoiler:He's later joined by Beelzebub.]]
33	* ''ComicBook/CaptainMarvelMarvelComics'': When Genis-Vell went mad and helped the cosmic villain Entropy destroy the universe, the result was Genis, Entropy, Rick Jones, and a couple of other characters standing around in a Blank White Void, astonished that it had actually happened. Entropy realizes that he never actually expected to succeed and doesn't know what to do now, so they do some [[TimeyWimeyBall timey-wimey jiggery pokery]] and the universe comes back.
34	* In one of Creator/WarrenEllis' issues of ''ComicBook/Dv8'', Copycat steps on a booby trap that apparently teleports her into one of these. [[spoiler:The white void later turns out to be a simulation, a result of being teleported to another room in the facility and hooked up to a virtual reality machine.]] She grows to like the isolation, because her SplitPersonality starts integrating, until her teammates pull an UnwantedRescue.
35	* ''ComicBook/TheGreatPowerOfChninkel'': G'wel and J'on are both thrown into the Non-World by the Immortals, a white space between the worlds. It turns out to be [[spoiler:the prison for king N'om, who defied O'ne by declaring himself a god in his place]].
36	* In ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'', the titular character [[spoiler:{{mercy kill}}s Michael Demiurgos]] in one of these [[spoiler:and proceeds to create his own Totality of creation in it with the released energy]]. At the end of the series, [[spoiler:he ventures out into this same Void again, where he either "imposes himself upon it, or becomes it"]].
37	* The last issue of ''ComicBook/MarvelTheEnd'' takes place in an empty void [[spoiler:that used to be the Marvel universe]] where Thanos and Adam Warlock have their final conversation before bringing everything back to normal.
38	* Near the end of the first volume of ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'', dream controlling super villain John Dee tries to battle with [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Dream]] over control of the DreamLand. Dee stands a chance in this battle largely thanks to his use of the Ruby, an ArtifactOfPower[=/=]ArtifactOfDoom that Dream created long ago. In the middle of the fight Dee realizes that Dream had to put a portion of his life and power into the Ruby to create it, and furthermore the Ruby sucked more out of Dream when he attempted to reclaim it, so Dee decides to smash the Ruby, thinking that doing so would kill Dream, similar to how [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings destroying the One Ring effectively killed Sauron]]. When Dee finishes breaking the Ruby, Dream is gone and Dee stands alone in a white void, with nobody else around and nothing there as far as the eye can see... until suddenly Dream speaks, and we realize that the endless white void is simply the palm of Dream's hand. Turns out that rather than killing him, smashing the Ruby that held a big chunk of his power simply returned all that power and life force to him. Dee's [[OhCrap panicked reaction]] to this development is both very natural and understandable.
39	* ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'': What remains of the [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel multiverse]] outside of the world egg containing Battleworld after the last Incursion hits starts is a blank white void identified as "The Place of Couldn't-Be, Shouldn't-Be". As the Marvel Universe tends to run on metaphor at that cosmic level, thinking of it as a blank sheet of paper (or a new document file) is probably not far off.
40	* ''ComicBook/{{Shakara}}'': The armory that contains the lost superweapons of the Shakara is inside a featureless white pocket dimension that is very reminiscent of the construct program in ''Film/TheMatrix''.
41	* ''ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool'': Gwenpool learns how to [[NinjaProp leave the comic book panel]] and go into the page gutter (although for her, she can also the other pages in this "Gutter Space"), even using that to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/void_6.jpg push villains into the featureless void.]]
42	* ''Comicbook/XMen'' has the White Hot Room, which is sort of outside the universe and mostly seems to exist so that various wielders of the Phoenix Force (past and present) can talk to each other.
43	* The universe itself is turned into a very large one in ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' after Hal Jordan as Parallax has finished erasing it with his entropy rifts, in which only a few surviving heroes get to witness him recreating the universe.
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder:Fan Works]]
47	* ''Fanfic/BreakItDownButterfly'': When Nino reaches out to Ms. Bustier to akumatize her for the first time, her perception changes to that of a white void where Nino (powered-up) speaks with her.
48	* ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' has The Nothing, which is what Traveler ends up finding at the end of one of the alternate timelines he travels down -- particularly the one where Empath grows up without powers as Wild Smurf instead and the Smurfs wind up traveling through time.
49	* ''Fanfic/FatesCollide'': [[spoiler:Ruby Rose's Silver Eyes give her a Reality Marble that is one of these. In addition, it holds an apparition of her mother Summer Rose, who attacks her enemies with a scythe and is almost invisible because of her white cloak.]]
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
53	* The opening shot of ''WesternAnimation/{{Blindscape}}'' is the man waking up against a white void background, as he is blind, and has not seen or felt anything. Images only appear as he hears them or touches them.
54	* In ''WesternAnimation/DestinationImagination'', Frankie is held prisoner by an ImaginaryFriend who controls a pretend world in a toy box. (Actually, she's more like the first person he's seen in a very long time and so he gets very excited. She genuinely enjoys the experience, but she's not allowed to leave his world.) When Mr. Herriman tries to take her back to Foster's, the friend in control of the world gets very angry. As he chases them, he destroys the world and it becomes one of these, albeit with debris and landmarks still around.
55	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'':
56	** In the "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight Mirror Magic]]" short, the Humane Seven end up trapped in one of these [[spoiler:thanks to BigBad Juniper Montage using a mirror with Equestrian magic]]. The room inside the mirror starts to break apart as the mirror takes more damage in the outside world.
57	** Again in the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRollercoasterOfFriendship Rollercoaster of Friendship]]'' special, when the Humane Seven (barring Applejack and Rarity) ended up in one [[spoiler:after being zapped by Vignette Valencia's magic-infused phone]]. [[SubvertedTrope Unlike the above example]], it's later revealed that they were just teleported to an empty WhiteVoidRoom within the amusement park, [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe much to Sunset Shimmer's chagrin]].
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
61	* In ''Film/{{Pi}}'', the protagonist finds himself in one of these. It's implied that he's [[NearDeathExperience standing on the border of life and death]], as he calmly starts to recite the universal number, which has previously been noted to possibly be God's true name. [[spoiler:He wakes up from this state, only to realize that he was probably hallucinating.]]
62	* In ''Film/BruceAlmighty'', [[MagicalNegro the Supreme Being]] invites the protagonist into a white ''loft''.
63	* ''Film/{{Nothing}}'' is mostly set in a white void.
64	* The shower at the beginning of ''Film/{{Nowhere}}'' is a white void room. The movie starts off with credits over a white screen and pans down, down, down to show the main character, named Dark, in a white void with gray steam. A shower head seemingly floating in space. The scene is shot from far away so that Dark looks dwarfed by the infinite whiteness on the screen. When his mother knocks on the bathroom door, the shower is seen for the cramped, normal utility that it is.
65	* In the automated {{dystopia}} of ''Film/THX1138'', criminals and non-conformists are contained in a bivouac that seems to be the only thing in the midst of an endless empty whiteness. This is an illusion caused by narcotics in the inmates' food that limits their depth of vision.
66	[[/folder]]
67
68	[[folder:Literature]]
69	* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': A black version of this is made by [[spoiler:Othinus]] for her final battle with Touma when [[spoiler:she destroys the world]].
70	* ''Literature/DrFranklinsIsland'': Semi, the main character, and Miranda, her friend, are able to communicate through radio when they are animals, but in a white-void-like space where they both appear in their human forms, where Miranda has a strange black bracelet on her leg, the same as the one she is wearing to stop her flying away as a bird. Semi dislikes the white space, saying that it feels like being dead.
71	* Once [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]] [[spoiler:figures out who killed him]] in ''Literature/GhostStory'', he is taken out of the BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind between [[spoiler:Molly and Corpsetaker]] and ends up in one of these while he talks to [[spoiler:Archangel Uriel]].
72	* Such a scene is included in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' [[spoiler:involving Harry meeting and speaking briefly with Dumbledore]]. It stops being a blank white room and becomes [[AfterlifeExpress King's Cross Station]] fairly quickly, though. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows The film version]] goes both ways, being a blank white version of King's Cross.
73	* The setting of ''Literature/HouseOfStairs'' is just a big white void criss-crossed with stairs, plus one toilet and a pellet dispenser. Somewhere, presumably very far off, is an elevator that gets you out. That toilet is their only water supply (so they wash up in it too), and the only non-stairs element besides the machine. It constantly flushes, but still.
74	* ''Literature/TheRedTower'' is surrounded by an empty grey landscape, to which the Tower's redness is an intolerable impurity that must be worn down and erased.
75	* Inverted in ''Literature/TheTimeShips''. The Time Traveler is imprisoned by Morlocks by means of a single shaft of light in a seemingly-infinite ''black'' room. He's psychologically unable to walk out of sight of the beam.
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
79	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': D'Hoffryn's place of business is a featureless black void.
80	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
81	** Apparently, these were a fixture of Terry Nation's early scripts.
82	** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E2TheMindRobber The Mind Robber]]" features an early example, as the Doctor and his companions find themselves trapped in the land of Fiction. This being [[NoBudget classic series]] ''Doctor Who'', you actually ''[[SpecialEffectFailure can]]'' see the edges of the walls, but the cast never do...
83	** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E5WarriorsGate Warrior's Gate]]" is set almost entirely in one of these, to eerie effect.
84	** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E9ItTakesYouAway It Takes You Away]]", [[spoiler:when the [[GeniusLoci Solitract]] drops the Norwegian cottage guise when the Doctor is the only visitor left, it takes the form of one of these, with beams resembling the cottage attic, and itself in the form of a talking frog sitting on a chair]].
85	%%** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E10JourneyToTheCentreOfTheTARDIS Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS]]", [[spoiler:the heart of the TARDIS]] is one of these.
86	* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'':
87	** The "Janet warehouse" housing all of the Janets of the Good Place is a seemingly boundless void (excepting the door), with one Janet standing in the middle. When the Janet is removed from the warehouse, a new one replaces them.
88	** Every Janet has a "boundless void", that exists everywhere. This void is where they exist when not interacting with anyone, and is used for holding/retrieving objects.
89	*** All Good Janets have a standard blank white void.
90	*** {{Downplayed\|Trope}} with Bad Janets, who have a similar blank white void, but littered with rubbish.
91	*** Neutral Janets have a blank beige void.
92	*** {{Downplayed\|Trope}} with Disco Janets, who have a blank '''disco''' void, containing nothing but coloured floor tiles, and a single disco ball.
93	* ''Series/Legion2017'': In "[[Recap/LegionS3E8Chapter27 Chapter 27]]", the astral plane is white and featureless when Charles Xavier initially confronts Present Amahl Farouk, then negotiates a truce with him, and later convinces David Haller to accept the peace agreement.
94	* Many early animated inserts in ''Series/SesameStreet'' take place in white voids, or at least in minimalist environments.
95	* Used a few times in ''Franchise/StarTrek'', as boundless white voids:
96	** At the beginning of the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E14Tapestry Tapestry]]", Picard apparently dies on Dr Crusher's operating table after being shot through the heart. He wakes up in a bright white void in which he can make out a white-robed figure who reaches out to him... [[spoiler:only for it to turn out to be Q, who informs Jean-Luc that he's dead, Q is God, and they're going to spend eternity together. Picard is not convinced.]]
97	** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'':
98	*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E03TheVisitor The Visitor]]", a white void is used to represent the "subspace vacuole" that Captain Sisko is trapped in.
99	*** The realm of the Prophets looks like a white void before images of places and people start appearing.
100	** In ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', T'Pol is shown meditating in a mental version of this to avoid distractions. Unfortunately, she discovers her brief "[[InterspeciesRomance intimate relationship]]" with Trip Tucker has led to a [[MindlinkMates somewhat more permanent connection]] when he appears in there as well.
101	--->'''T'Pol:''' Why are you here?\
102	'''Tucker:''' I was about to ask you the same thing. [[TalkingInYourDreams Is this a daydream?]]\
103	'''T'Pol:''' I'm meditating. This is where I go in my mind.\
104	'''Tucker:''' Well, I would've thought you'd pick a more interesting place. Like the beach, or one of those Fire Plains you showed me.\
105	'''T'Pol:''' Please leave.\
106	'''Tucker:''' Exactly where am I supposed to go?
107	* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1985S1E15 A Matter of Minutes]]", Michael and Maureen Wright attempt to use their neighbor Cliff Turner's phone but when they enter his home, they find nothing but a featureless white void. The same thing happens later when they run down an alley. The supervisor explains to them that he and his workers did not bother to construct the family home or the alley when building the minute 11:37am on April 27, 1986, as no one is supposed to see either during that time.
108	* ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'' is set in a white void filled with miniature playsets, where toys come to life.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Music Videos]]
112	* The music video for the Music/{{Aha}} song "Take on Me" features the protagonist being sucked into her own drawing, a blank white sheet of paper as the background.
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:Video Games]]
116	* ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'': In the final phase of the [[spoiler:Chakratarvin the Creator]] boss fight, the boss itself turns an entire plane of existence into this just by his raw power alone.
117	* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', this turns out to be the ultimate endgame of [[BigBad Master Xehanort]]: to use the power of Kingdom Hearts to destroy the current universe and reduce it to a blank slate where he can rebuild it from scratch. It's more apparent in the Japanese script, where he calls it a "pure white world", whereas he calls it "an empty world, pure and bright" in English.
118	* [[BigBad Ganondorf]]'s [[FateWorseThanDeath ultimate fate]] at the end of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' is to [[SealedEvilInACan be sealed away]] in AnotherDimension which is depicted as a white, formless void where [[AndIMustScream he can do nothing but spew vile invectives at the heroes]].
119	* ''VideoGame/LineRider'' takes place in an empty white area. The only objects are Bosh and the lines you draw.
120	* ''VideoGame/{{OMORI}}'' spends his downtime in a relatively featureless void called 'White Space' when he's not interacting with his neighbor friends. The only things of consequence in it are his laptop, his sketchbook (which also has many blank pages), a cat, tissues for wiping away his tears and a black bulb suspended overhead.
121	* The Expanse, the VoidBetweenTheWorlds, in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'', due to the influence of the White. More creepily, the Monochrome Forest is this trope applied to a small plane of reality. Despite being a forest instead of a room, it manages to achieve the same effect. Played straight when the White talk to you when the Expanse is first opened.
122	* ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' uses one as its HubLevel, with small previews of each of the nine levels being used as their entrances. Used properly in the game's epilogue, where [[spoiler:both Dr. Eggman and his past self from 20 years ago are both stuck in a true white void]].
123	* In ''VideoGame/TheStanleyParable'', you can go through a window and outside the map into one of these. [[DevelopersForesight No, this isn't a glitch; there's even a secret ending there]].
124	* ''Franchise/StarWars'': In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', the Rakata use mind traps as prisons, which are represented by the prisoner in an empty white void.
125	* In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', when [[spoiler:Sammer's Kingdom is destroyed, the door that led there now leads to a vast, empty landscape]].
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:Web Animation]]
129	* ''WebAnimation/AnimatedInanimateBattle'' is -- for the most part -- set in a similar yellow-and-white void referred to as "the Blank Slate". Outside the characters themselves, the only notable things in said void are some poker cards, a pile of trash that Oodle flinged to kingdom come, a bush, an ocean with some ice floating in it, a mountain, and some claw machines as of the third episode.
130	* ''WebAnimation/DaAmazinOTAdvenchr'' takes place in a white landscape. {{Subverted\|Trope}} in Appisote 18, in which the series [[ArtEvolution gains a background]] [[spoiler:until Lite kills himself at the end of the Appisote to stop the "evolving"]].
131	* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': The Possessor Ghosts Dimsnion. It also serves as a VoidBetweenTheWorlds to get to the MirrorUniverse.
132	* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In Volume 6, Jinn reveals that there is a [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds place between realms]] that is an endless white void, and uses this place a blank canvas on which to illustrate the story she tells of Remnant's secret history. [[spoiler:It is in this place that the God of Light originally gave [[BigGood Ozpin]] his mission to save humanity and which Ozpin subsequently uses to protect the [[ArtifactOfPower four Relics]] from [[BigBad Salem]]. By creating a PocketDimension within the void that is accessible through a Vault underneath each Huntsman Academy, Ozpin can protect the Relics by ensuring only a Headmaster can grant access to the Vaults, and only a Maiden can then grant access to the dimensional chambers where each Relic is stored.]]
133	* ''WebAnimation/AlphabetLore'': Where the series takes place. F's lair appears to be the only distinguishable landmark. It's not actually that much of a void, it turns out; the end of the series reveals everything takes place upon the planet-sized Z, who happens to be a marble-white and house a white atmosphere that progressively turns cyan as more of space becomes visible.
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Webcomics]]
137	* ''Webcomic/OneOverZero'' is set in one of these. Then the characters create land from the corpse of a dead giant and eventually build a town there. The introduction of all the characters and other objects, one by one, to this realm forms the backbone of the comic's storyline.
138	* ''Webcomic/ABeginnersGuideToTheEndOfTheUniverse'' is set within a pocket dimension in the shape of a complex of increasingly lavish apartments (going from a basic bachelor pad to a full-blown mansion) floating in an immense white void broken only by a seemingly endless railway and an ominous, pulsing black star. [[spoiler:It's all that is left of the universe after it underwent heat death and collapsed into a singularity, that being the black star. The reason there's anything at all besides empty void is because the Everyman -- the AnthropomorphicPersonification of humanity's collective unconscious -- willed a number of pocket existences and the railway connecting them, in order to preserve existence in some form.]] In the sequel, ''Webcomic/ChairmanJackEmerge'', the civilization that was built clinging to the railway ends up making extensive use of flying vehicles as the only meaningful way of moving through the void.
139	* ''Webcomic/BlankIt'' takes place in one of these. It quickly turns into a surreal, ''Alice in Wonderland''-style adventure.
140	%%* [[http://angryflower.com/emptyw.gif And, of course,]] Webcomic/BobTheAngryFlower.
141	* In ''Webcomic/Collar6'', a character in the subspace trance sees this. Several characters can enter the same 'space' if they are also in subspace and have a strong bond. The last stage of the World Revolutionizer puts Laura and Michael Kappel into a similar place -- where Sixx joins them, just in time to save the day.
142	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Ellen [[https://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-05-08 floats]] in a featureless black void at the end of the memories inserted into her dreams.
143	* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', Roxy describes the PowerOfTheVoid as an endless expanse of white which she can draw out anything from.
144	* In ''Webcomic/HonkaiImpact3rdSecondEruption'', we learn that [[spoiler:the Will of Honkai, the gestalt mind driving every Honkai Beast,]] resides in a parallel dimension devoid of anything but a white emptiness, with the only furniture being dependent on whoever interacts with it. In Sirin's case, it sits comfortably on a rock throne; in Otto's case, it's seen praying before a blue crucifix.
145	* The "Cone" story arc in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' sees our heroes abducted to [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/781 a realm like this]] for much of the story, [[OntologicalMystery trying to find a way out.]]
146	* Richard of ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' was banished into a featureless white void while battling the sisters. He dubbed it the "Plane of Suck".
147	* There have been several cases in ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'' when the characters are in a featureless white void: when they're in a brand-new dimension, one of the authors [[PocketDimension left pocket]], and the VoidBetweenTheWorlds. They comment on this.
148	-->'''Void:''' So this is the new dimension huh? Where's the color?\
149	'''Mr. L''': Uh, Void. I think you mean, where's the EVERYTHING?
150	* A number of early ''Webcomic/{{Nedroid}}'' strips have little in the way of background, to the point where the characters eventually begin to lampshade it, such as when Reginald gets tired of the featureless white void in which he inhabits and takes a trip to the [[http://nedroid.com/2010/01/change-of-scenery/ featureless black void]] for a change of scenery.
151	* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'' has an interesting meta-example: throughout the comic, the web page's background and decorations change to match the comic image, so when Sette falls into a [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds bizarre parallel dimension]], the page goes [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch07/oww.html totally black]] (to the extent that Sette [[MediumAwareness tries to fiddle with the page forward/back buttons]] because nothing else is visible) and a bit later, [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch07/ch07_30.html completely white.]]
152	* ''[[https://whitevoid.risteq.net White Void]]'' starts out in one, but it grows a horizon in the third strip and hasn't been really blank since.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Web Original]]
156	* ''Website/SCPFoundation'':
157	** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-000 SCP-000]], despite being only a problematic file to the Foundation and the outside world, actually contains an entity known as a Pattern Screamer, which is trapped within a system error forever. The entity perceives it's condition as being stuck in a featureless white void occasionally broken by flashes of light and sounds.
158	** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3001 SCP-3001]] is an endless black VoidBetweenTheWorlds described as a [[PocketDimension pocket "non-dimension"]] located between realities that Scranton (the narrator, who got there holding a recording device) entered when going through a wormhole. He describes it as "falling off the bridge" of the wormhole instead of reaching his destination, and reached a zone [[EldritchLocation that literally REFUTES the concept of existence itself, since the place technically shouldn't even exist]]. Scranton was trapped in it [[AndIMustScream for almost six years, unable to die and his physical body slowly decaying as the void tried to close back down,]] after a FreakLabAccident.
159	** Inverted by [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3930 SCP-3930]]. It's a VoidBetweenTheWorlds underpinning the very foundation of reality that theoretically [[MindScrew does not exist]], as it's comprised of [[RetGone complete nothingness]]. It can't even be called a black or white void, as that attributes some kind of quality to it; it has no possible descriptor as it lacks shape, dimension, anything that could potentially be used to quantify it. Because the human mind [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm isn't equipped to process complete nothingness]], people who directly observe its entry point [[YourMindMakesItReal just see an extension of the forest surrounding it]].
160	* In ''Literature/VoidDomain'', Zoe's teleportation magic creates an instantaneous shortcut through an infinite, frigid, dead-white void. Everyone but her finds it [[NothingIsScarier extremely unsettling]], to such an extent that Eva prefers a teleport spell that catapults her through {{Hell}} and inflicts major temporary BodyHorror along the way.
161	* In ''[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Yu-Gi-Oh! Bond Beyond Time Abridged]]'', the ending of the film has Jaden telling Yami Yugi a future event. This causes a paradox and has all of Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei stuck in subspace which is a literal white void.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Western Animation]]
165	* This is what ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' is without any chalk in it. Minus the floor, it's literally a bottomless abyss.
166	* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'': In "[[Recap/Ben10OmniverseS8E10ANewDawn A New Dawn]]", [[spoiler:Ben and Rook chase Maltruant back in time to before the creation of the universe.

167	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
168	** A cutaway in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E1TheThinWhiteLine The Thin White Line]]" shows the Griffins visiting Purgatory. It's a white space that doesn't even have a floor; you're just suspended in the void.
169	** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E1RoadToTheMultiverse Road to the Multiverse]]", Brian and Stewie visit an alternate universe that is this, with just them and "Compliment Guy", who stands so far away that he's almost a dot. He is the only inhabitant of his universe and his sole purpose is to yell compliments from a distance. Brian and Stewie then leave that universe and back to their own universe, in front of their house. However, it turns out that they are only standing in front of a large ''picture'' of their house, and two workers come along and carry the picture away, revealing that they are simply in yet another White Void Room. Stewie tells Brian that they are in the Universe of Misleading Portraiture. It has no true specific locations, only portraits that represent the locations. But then they see Compliment Guy in the distance of the void... but then it turns out that he and the void are simply yet another Misleading Portraiture, which gets carried away by two workers, revealing another white void room, but with a horizon where a gray wall meets a white floor.
170	** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E16TheBigPangTheory The Big Pang Theory]]", Stewie and Brian end up in a white, floorless nothingness when they go back in time before the big bang.

175	'''Nichelle Nichols:''' ''[groaning]'' Eternity with nerds. It's the Pasadena ''Franchise/StarTrek'' convention all over again.\
