1[[WMG: Every fiction ever created was written by a Time Lord.]]
2
3[[WMG: Every fiction is a spinoff of ''RealLife''.]]
4Come on, all of the writers who have created fiction are present in Real Life.
5
6For more in-depth coverage: Real Life consists mostly of a singular character who is first introduced with a definite name, then learns his skills first in the homeland, then explores different locations in the world, and the plot becomes more and more complex as he progresses into the climax. We might see it as the ordinary human life cycle, but this forms the basis for all fiction that were created.
7
8[[WMG: ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'' and ''Series/PainKillerJane'' take place in the same world.]] One just uses magic [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual terms]] for the {{Mutants}} With Unique Special Powers, and the other uses technobabble.
9* And both are set in one of the ComicBook/XMen 'verses prior to mutants becoming known to the general public. Probably either the movie verse, or Evolution.
10
11[[WMG: And of course, every fictional universe takes place in an interconnected world inside of the mind of an autistic boy named Tommy Westphall who likes snowglobes.]]
12* See: ''Series/StElsewhere''.
13* Thus, Tommy is [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Mr. Bun]].
14* Alternately, Tommy wasn't autistic at all, and we have a ''lot'' to expect from him once the current WGA strike ends.
15* Tommy is actually the estranged love child of Haruhi Suzumiya and Shinji Ikari.
16* Or maybe Tommy isn't autistic, but rather... psychic and just overwhelmed by all the multiverse's unfiltered input.
17* Which explains the random snowglobe moments in ''Series/{{Psych}}'', ''Series/BurnNotice'', ''Series/{{Heroes}}''... there must be more...
18** Um, ''Citizen Kane''?!
19*** No, his name is Tommy Walker, and he's not autistic. He's deaf, dumb, and blind, and he sure plays a mean pinball.
20* Of course, nobody likes the more boring explanation that only St. Elsewhere was in Tommy's imagination (if that), and the rest were TV shows he integrated into his imaginings.
21
22
23[[WMG: ''Toy Story'', ''Toy Story 2'', ''A Bug's Life'', ''Monsters, Inc'', and ''Finding Nemo'' are all fictional stories performed by AnimatedActors living in a MouseWorld on the fringe of ''Honey I Shrunk The Kids'' and ''Series/HomeImprovement''.]]
24
25The mass of crossovers, {{ShoutOut}}s, and RecursiveCanon between all five films (there's a decent list [[https://tvtropes.org/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=136&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=25 here]]) means that what we saw was, at best, BasedOnATrueStory: The size discrepancies between the various films are the result of Wayne Szalinski's shrink / growth ray. And a Binford toolbox appears in ''Toy Story''.
26* ''Cars'' is in a completely separate 'verse, hence the presence of the films ''Toy Car Story'', ''A VW Bug's Life'', and ''Monster Trucks, Inc'' in that 'verse. (Doc Hudson's and Luigi's "cameos" in ''WMG/TheIncredibles'' and ''WMG/FindingNemo'', respectively, are actually non-anthropomorphic cars of the same make and model. Because Doc Hudson or Luigi outside their universe of anthropomorphic cars is madness! [[AC: Madness!]])
27** Madness!? This is [[AC:Sparta Auto Sales!]] Come on in for [[AdvertisingTropes great deals]]-TODAY!!!
28** You are all wrong!http://jonnegroni.com/2013/07/11/the-pixar-theory/
29
30[[WMG: There is one character that exists in ''all'' works of fiction.]]
31Not as a sterotype, his is one of the characters in the background. He might not be in any of the scenes, but rest assured, for ''he is there''.
32* He is, of course, a Time Lord in Purgatory.
33** [[AC:You may be forgetting someone.]]
34*** Okay, it's official: [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Death]] is a [[WMG/DoctorWho Time Lord]] in Purgatory.
35*** His true name of course is [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Suzumiya]]
36*** Also known as mild-mannered Creator/ChuckNorris.
37*** And is also the Emperor of Mankind.
38*** [[Webcomic/InWilysDefense And a part-time weatherman.]]
39*** Making a chaos god of Death unsummonable by the Eldar. He's already there!
40*** Have a Nice Day!
41*** [[Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy Bob was there too]].
42* One theory is that said character is none other than Emmitt Nervend, aka., that weird old man with the big teeth and bulging eyes that shows up in the background of every ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' episode. Many other theories abound, though...
43* If you are a pantheist, {{God}} permeates the entire multiverse and is therefore is present in EVERY story. Whether or not he is responsible for any of the events in the story is for theologians to decide.
44* Wait, I thought it was MediaNotes/JennyEverywhere.
45* It's Altaïr, he killed everyone in all fiction, so he must be in all fiction.
46* There's a [[Webcomic/ElGoonishShive Tedd]] in every universe.
47
48[[WMG: Building on the above theory: not only there is a character who is in all works on fiction, he's the driving force behind the plot.]]
49The character is an immortal, universe-hopping genius, who is also a master of stealth, disguise and camouflage. All so that he can spy on the main characters 24 hours a day and help them to reach the ending that is fated for them. All the unlikely coincidences which drive the plot forward are orchestrated by him. All the vital items found in unlikely places have been placed there by him. When the heroes manage to escape from jail by outwitting the [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy stupid guards]], they better thank this character for earlier slipping of laxative into the lunch of the elite, intelligent guards who were supposed to be on guard that day.
50* This character is, in fact, Emmitt Nervend (see above theory). He has chosen to publicly show himself, of all things, inside a silly cartoon, to make sure that no one will seriously consider his involvement into anything else. "Nervend" is obviously just a corruption of his real name, which is ''Neverend'' (which signifies his neverending quest to bring all works of fiction to the closure that's meant for them).
51* Also, he ''is'' in all scenes, only he's usually disguised as an insignificant background character or is standing just BehindTheBlack.
52* The answer is clear. It's [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Vetinari]], who may or may not be [[TropeNamer Xanatos]] [[ChessMaster himself.]]
53* Actually, the mysterious fella's intentions are entirely different. In a thousand different worlds, he surreptitiously follows all the interesting people around and records their adventures, so that later he can publish them as "fiction" under the guise of an "author" persona.
54
55[[WMG: The ''Drawn Together'' episode "A Tale of Two Cows" shows that the series exists in the same universe as the following:]]
56* ''WMG/TheSimpsons'', and hence
57* ''WMG/KingOfTheHill''
58* ''WMG/TheXFiles''
59* ''WMG/FamilyGuy''
60* ''WMG/AmericanDad''
61* ''WMG/TheFlintstones''
62* ''WMG/TheJetsons''
63* ''WMG/SouthPark''
64Thus extending [[http://www.poobala.com/crossoverlistb.html#G2 Group 2]] even further.
65* Or possibly, given how many cameos they make in other episodes, the ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' world is the "hub" of every movie and TV show ever made. The housemates are probably {{Evil Twin}}s of their prototypes, who also exist there (at least Ariel does, alongside Clara).
66
67[[WMG: If Beowulf and Batman ever meet, the entire universe will explode:]]
68"I am Beowulf."
69
70"I'm Batman."
71
72"I am Beowulf."
73
74"I'm Batman."
75
76...
77
78''* [[RealityBreakingParadox universe commits suicide]]* ''
79* Beowulf and Batman are the Ultimate Question and Ultimate Answer.
80* They should never ever meet because [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann they will cause Spiral Nemesis]].
81* Or they'll just [[http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060821.html hook up]].
82
83
84[[WMG: The island from ''Series/{{Lost}}'' is where the Earth is finalising [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy the Ultimate Question Of Life The Universe and Everything]]]]
85
86Over its running time, the Earth has worked back from the Ultimate Answer of 42, to get the five Ultimate Intermediate Steps of 23, 16, 15, 8 and 4. Just a few more calculations are required to get the Ultimate Question right. It has been said that if both the Question and the Answer are known it will cause the Universe to disappear and be replaced by something much stranger - the proximity of the Answer to a preliminary version of the Question is causing that to happen on a smaller scale, leading to all the tropical polar bears, smoke monsters and EpilepticTrees.
87* This is simply brilliant. The final season of the series is obviously after the Vogons destroy it. The passing of the leader of the island to the next is actually simply allowing the hyper-itelligent, pan-dimentional being to inhabit another form. The island was built by the computer to keep the Golgafrinchams away from the main program matrix. This needs to be moved to the WildMassGuessing for both stories.
88* Add the first three and subtract the last two.
89
90[[WMG: Everything [[http://www.math.uchicago.edu/~msmukler/fictionmill.html this web site]] tells you is true.]]
91
92[[WMG: In 2012, ''Series/LawAndOrder'' will be invaded by aliens.]]
93It's simple, really. All the ''L&O'' series explicitly take place in the same world. JustForFun/JohnMunch also exists in ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'', ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'', ''Series/TheBeat'', ''Series/TheWire'', and '''''Series/TheXFiles'''''. These are, implicitly, the same universe. Now, in ''The X-Files'', aliens are scheduled to take over the world on December 22nd, 2012. And we ''know'' that ''Law And Order'' is [[LongRunners still going to be on the air in 2012]]. (This theory disregards the Tommy Westphall theory, but if you include it then the picture becomes more bleak)
94* Alternatively, the "X-Files" John Munch could be a parallel universe version of the "Homicide" John Munch. As long as the aliens don't develop "Sliders" technology, Jack [=McCoy=] and Ed Green should be pretty safe.
95
96
97[[WMG: ComicStrip/LittleOrphanAnnie is a lost member of the [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Hyuuga]] clan.]]
98* This would explain her permanant BlankWhiteEyes. The reason why she's never accessed her Byakugan powers is that nobody ever told her they exist; but at some point she'll find her true past- will she choose to continue with the life of a [[IJustWantToBeNormal New York heiress]] with Daddy Warbucks, or move to Konoha to embark on the more Spartan but infinitely [[JumpedAtTheCall more exciting]] path of the [[{{Ninja}} shinobi]]?
99** Then why does she lack the ''real'' Hyuuga bloodline trait?
100*** PubertySuperpower combined with NotAllowedToGrowUp?
101** Funny thing is that I proposed something similar (not tha same thing because of Byakugan's particularities) to explain Kurenai's eye color, but with Sharingan, instead. StrangeMindsThinkAlike.
102
103
104[[WMG: Website/TVTropes has/will have influence over reality.]]
105Consider this: This Wiki is a hu-frickin'-mongous almagamation of lit-geeks and potential writers. Eventually, at least ONE of us will become notable. This means influencing other authors. Which means influencing genres, perhaps. This, of course, will lead to an infinite loop of tropes, meaning that we will always gain more and more Tropes, which means more Tropers. Eventually, more authors will arise. Eventually, a small troper-author army shall descend upon the literary world, deciding which concepts stay or go. Of course, by this point, we will explicitly be part of the pan-Fictional cabal. Eventually, more members of the Cabal shall arise, as there is more fiction. Eventually, the [=TvTropes=] wiki will expand over the world, and possibly the Universe, granting us, and the Cabal, possibly ultimate power.
106* IAmLegion, for we are many.
107** [[VideoGame/SidMeiersAlphaCentauri Eternity lies ahead of us, and behind. Have you drunk your fill?]]
108* Once [=TvTropes=] has influence over reality, [[Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability we will all be notable]].
109** And [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife life will be ruined]]. Perhaps someone has/will come back to prevent this and SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. The wiki has/will also set back an [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} android to stop them]].
110*** That Terminator caused Archive/TheGreatCrash before it was destroyed by the fledgling Cabal.
111*** Actually, this has already happened and the Terminator was successful in locking all Tropers in Franchise/TheMatrix.
112* Impossible, unless TV Tropes is the [[Anime/SerialExperimentsLain Wired]].
113
114[[WMG: [[Creator/ArthurCClarke The Nine Billion Tropes Of God]] ]]
115* Once every trope is catalogued, the work of the universe will be complete and [[TheStarsAreGoingOut the stars will all go out]]. Due to the distributed processing power of the Website/TVTropes {{hivemind}}, the tropes are being recorded at an increased rate.
116
117[[WMG: All Tropes form a very, ''very'' convoluted [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy ultimate answer.]]]]
118When every single trope that could conceivably exist is catalogued, enough time would've passed that we would know the question, because there are a lot of tropes out there. As a result, the multiverse will end and be replaced by something much weirder. This will continue forever, because [=TvTropes=] is the meaning of life.
119* Actually, given the constantly changing nature of societies, TV Tropes will ''never'' be complete. New tropes will need to be catalogued. This will ensure the continuation of the universe, because [[SarcasmMode as we all know,]] the writing of tropes generates heat, which will stave off the heat-death of the multiverse.
120
121[[WMG: [[MemeticMutation Anonymous]] and Unknown Troper are the same people.]]
122As well as every being who has ever lived, real or "fictional".
123* By contrast, "Uknown Troper" is a defective prototype.
124** All nameless entities are the same person. When or if a person abandons their name, in most cases during this thing we call "death", they become that person. He is the HiveMind, the [[IAmLegion legion]], the [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Instrumentality]], the Afterlife, the Man Behind The Curtain. He is..[[spoiler:the [[AllPsychologyIsFreudian Id]], the true form of humanity, the inner chaos of primal desiring energy that we sought to repress to prevent future generations from going mad from the revelation and maintain an illusion of order.]]
125
126[[WMG: ''Literature/GoodOmens'' and ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' take place in the same universe.]]
127When Hell, speaking to Crowley over the radio, informs him of there being far worse punishments than damnation, they mean banishment to Wisconsin. Also, the Metatron was only using the form of a blank golden statue in ''Good Omens'' as he was on official divine business (which also explains why he couldn't show any emotion), whereas in ''Dogma'', he was on a mission of his own.
128* And Aziraphale gets around the angels' prohibition on drinking how? It's pretty clear that he goes and gets sloshed with Crowley on a fairly regular basis. Besides, it's sort of implied that God was behind the whole Almostageddon thing, and also that the Metatron isn't ''sure'' about getting on with it--surely if he had divine backing, he wouldn't have been as easily swayed by Adam?
129** Aziraphale has been on earth for the last 6000+ years, and the prhibition was made, what ''after'' the Fall of Man? And he's been hanging out with a demon for most of the last 6000 years, having done occasional acts of evil assigned to Crowley in exchange for Crowley occasionally doing his Good assignments. Don't tell me ''that's'' not heresy. Anyway, sounds like a simple "Never found out, never want to" excuse, and it's part of God's oh-so-Ineffable plan that Aziraphale not be smote. Why should he care anyway? Aziraphale has gotten drunk what, ''twice'' since the invention of alcohol, and always Insta-Sobers(AΩ) before going anywhere, instead of going up to heaven to start things like Barnaby and Loki. He gets around the whole "If God is proven wrong, the World Ends" bit by not actually having said "No angels may drink." He probably said "You(plural) are forbidden from consumption of alcohol," and let Metatron translte that as he felt necessary. The only ones who would be wracked by the pain of a thousand suns would be Bartleby, Loki, and Metatron, because God has repeatedly been shown to have a sick sense of humor. As well as a passion for skee-ball, nearly letting the world end, and ineffability. ''Don't'' take this away from us, 'kay?
130
131[[WMG: Alex from Film/AClockworkOrange fathered at least two daughters in his constant sexual activity.]]
132These are:
133* Gogo from ''Film/KillBill'' (whose mother, traumatized after being raped by Alex, taught her to despise the touch of men.)
134* Nikita from the movie of ''Series/LaFemmeNikita'' (note her wild dances to classical music while covered in the blood of people she beats.)
135** He may also have fathered Badger from ''{{Series/Firefly}}'', but we will never know.
136
137[[WMG: 2001: A Space Odyssey takes place in the same universe as Franchise/{{Halo}}.]]
138* [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL]] is exactly the same kind of AI as [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Cortana]], but can't project a hologram because they didn't have the tech back then. The UV failsafe for smart AI was installed because of the Discovery incedent - the astronauts all died because there was no way to cut the higher brain functions of HAL easily, quickly, and remotely after he went Rampant. This is also why smart AI are not used when a dumb AI will work just as well.
139* Also, the monolith is another Forerunner creation.
140
141[[WMG: This universe is one giant crossover]]
142
143Every single one of us is actually from an alternate dimension where we are the hero/heroine/villain, and absolutely no-one else from our dimension is here. The people that we just "click" with just remind us of someone close to us from our home dimension. Likewise, the people that we just innately hate remind us of the villains of our dimension, and Website/TVTropes is the more proactive JumpedAtTheCall protagonists trying to make some sense of this crossover.
144
145All works that we see as "fiction" are actually their creator's way of retelling the story of their dimension, with series' in multiple universes (like ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' and ''Franchise/FireEmblem'') being the attempts to tell the stories of other members of the dev teams, as are multiple series' from the same company. Furthermore, any crossover "fiction" is an attempt at creating the apocalypse- once this giant web of dimensions becomes too intertwined, it will collapse on itself, causing the end of all life.
146* This explains most of my dreams distressingly well...
147
148[[WMG: Based on looks and personality the following characters are related]]
149* [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] is decended from [[Literature/FullMetalPanic Sousuke Sagara]], who is in turn descended from [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Sanosuke Sagara]] (although this is based mainly on name and pain threshold).
150* Look at G Gundam's Domon and Rain. Now look at Code Geass's Kallen Kouzuki. Now, I could ignore the looks, but when the possible offspring in question is also mech pilot who uses an open handed one-shot move, I can't help but draw a conclusion.
151
152[[WMG: Every living being that has ever existed is the same time-traveling shapeshifter.]]
153Conveniently, that makes 99% of the entries to this WMG completely true.
154* Wait, but that means...
155
156[[WMG: Every living being that has ever existed is a Time Lord]]
157Which doesn't mean what you'd think at first. No, every individual being is not their own Time Lord. That would be impractical. Rather, every living being, combined, is a single Time Lord. The Universe and Imagination is the TARDIS for the Time Lord (infinitely large yet with a visibly finite space, do some research on our recent knowledge of the Universe), and collectively being reborn as a younger and younger version of itself forever. Ultimately, it will last for exactly one eternity as time loops around itself and the Time Lord is born again.
158* [[PiecesOfGod Adam]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Kadmon Kadmon]], anyone?
159* [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The Instrumentality]] will happen if all beings real or fictional finds out they are the same Time Lord. With these WMG s thrown in, we can see what actually happened in Eva: The Instrumentality involves the fusion of Adam and Lilith (the recreation of Adam Kadmon, to add an earlier assumption), creating a time-traveling shapeshifter (Giant Naked Rei, who sent soul-collecting Rei around time and space, hence the Reis at the very beginning and the end), which then assimilates the souls of all beings into a single entity, the primordial Time Lord of this WMG. However, a new body for the Time Lord must be chosen as an ark which will wander the universe as a Time Lord forever, and that one happens to be Yui / Eva 01.
160** Oh God, TV Tropes [[ConspiracyTheorist is controlled by Seele]]!
161
162[[WMG: Anti-Scientology group Anonymous is related to [[http://www.4chan.org Anonymous]] ]]
163* This is actually true. Anonymous originated on 4chan's /b/ board, the most popular of the boards there. The posters on there all have the default name of Anonymous, and within time, jokes began to form that referred to Anonymous as one person, or as a whole. Then, the raids began, like the ones on Habbo Hotel and Gaia. It was around this time that the users started thinking of themselves as more than just as bunch of trolls from an imageboard, and more of an organization of trolls dedicated to destroying whatever they didn't like. The concept of Anonymous grew, spilling over into other forums, like SA. Eventually, Anonymous shifted from solely trolling sites they didn't like to trolling sites they had an honest objection to. From there, they decided, finally, to take on Scientolotgy. They gained mass media coverage and became known, officially, as Anonymous, though as more of a separate entity from the original 4chan users. It was during the beginning days of Project Chanology that Anonymous started leaving 4chan- many users of /b/, which had been their main base until now, could do without all the "moralfags" and wanted to get back to posting furry porn and goatse. Project Chanology lives on at various other sites and wikis, and the name Anonymous has come to be associated with Scientology. Except on 4chan, where's it's used as it once was- for jokes and small-time raids. So there you have it- the history of Anonymous, as told by someone who witnessed it all.
164* '''They share the same name''', people! It's a sign that, yes indeed Tropers, that worldwide, Internet-based resistance to Scientology was created by none other than ''the originators of [=LOLcats=]''!! And 4chan was created by none other than '''Website/SomethingAwful'''! This is big, people. Big.
165** Please step off the couch, Mr. Cruise.

171[[WMG:Plank from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' is a distant relative of Stump from ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'']]
172They're both wooden objects with descriptive names and crookedly smiling faces, though Plank's is drawn on rather than being knots in the wood. And both are apparently animate and highly intelligent, though you never see them moving around onscreen.
173* And their presence facilitates the {{Snap Back}}s at the end of each episode. This is commonly known as [[IncrediblyLamePun Plank's Constant]].
174* Also, their common ancestor is the Log Lady's log from David Lynch's ''Series/TwinPeaks''.
175* They are all members of a {{Ninja}} clan, which includes every single NinjaLog.
176
177[[WMG:Every theory made dealing with fiction in any media is false.]]
178Fiction, by definition, is false. Therefore, all aspects of fiction are false.
179* Theory: No one is Haruhi Suzumiya. Therefore, given the above, at least one person is Haruhi Suzumiya. Q.E.D.
180** Correction: no ''one'' is Haruhi Suzumiya. Therefore, everyone is Haruhi Suzumiya.
181* This theory runs up against the problem that it is also a theory dealing with fiction, resulting in a somewhat clichéd paradox.
182
183[[WMG:Every tropes used in the history of mankind (or aliens) are perpretrated by ''Webcomic/{{Mezzacotta}}'']]

186[[WMG: Broly the Legendary Super-Saiyan and Anubis from the Yu-Gi-Oh movie are the same person. Or: the Grand Unifying Guess for All Unusually Popular Non-4Kids Dubbed Anime (a hot-line suspense comedy)]]
187Seriously, slap some tanning cream on him, add a gold skirt and the eye symbol to his necklace, and most people couldn't tell the difference. The DBZ earth is a long time ago in a galaxy some arbitrary distance away, long enough ago that their present allows intergalactic travel before our ancient Egypt. Later, the Duel Monsters game was remade for kids in the form of chibi-kawaii-fun-fun-monsaturuzu (pohkaymahnz for short), mostly utilizing Synchro cards from 5Ds and level-up cards like Winged Kuriboh. The souls escaped when a particular Shadow Realm incident destroyed all but 15 of the original, less cartoony Duel Monsters cards and later turned nearly all of humanity into Tang, and became Pokemon. The humans eventually were reborn from PinkKitty, a monster that had the ability to spawn humans and soulless abominations alike, who... ancestored Ash, Lugia, Aaron, Lucario, Pikachu, Shinji Ikari jr., Red Ranger, and Sailor Pluto. Eventually, once the fourth-teir pokemon start destroying time and space with nowhere to expand the franchise, Sailor Pluto and Dialga (the 13th Doctor) take some of the stronger pokemon to the past and implant their duel monster souls into robots on the planet Cybertron (but not before Sailor Pluto and Mew, in quite a bit of sweet, sweet, HotSkittyOnWailordAction found the Sailor Suit Solar System Magical [=GirlS=]). Meanwhile, in the future, the pokemon that ''didn't'' have the benefit of money, power, time travel, or futuresight are being exploited as the summoned companions for ninjas in orange jumpsuits and being rent into their component... blood. And spirit guts. After it turns out completely useless, Alchemy is invented. Some guy with a spiky beard summons seven ultimate evils, a short kid who killed his brother and locked his ghost in a suit of armor kills them all with the help of the entire[[strike: German]] Amestrian army, and Major Armstrong turns out to be Suzumiya Haruhi, who decides to make the universe exactly as it always was... Because universe-bending is an art that's been handed down them [[strike:Armstrong]] Suzumiya line for generations. And she later makes Jesus a Time Lord (the 0th Doctor. Somehow.)

189[[WMG: [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Michael and GOB Bluth]] are [[Series/{{Supernatural}} Sam and Dean Winchester]]]]
190They got ahold of some seemingly curse-free {{Phlebotinum}} and transformed themselves into wealthy heirs with no memory of their past trauma. Sam wished to be married to his college sweetheart. Fast forward about ten years, and it hasn't turned out so well. GOB took up magic as an expression of an unconscious desire to reverse the spell.
191* Does that make Sam Winchester Scott Pilgrim's father?

197
198[[WMG: Anime/CowboyBebop, {{Series/Firefly}}, Franchise/{{Dune}}, and VideoGame/EveOnline all form part of the same continuity]]
199* As proposed on their various WMG pages. ''Cowboy Bebop'' and ''Firefly'' both share the same SpaceWestern atmosphere, with ''Cowboy Bebop'' explaining why Earth is considered [[EarthThatWas lost to humans]] in ''Firefly''. The Companions and River foreshadow the development of the Bene Gesserit and Mentats.
200* ''Eve Online'' isn't covered on any other page yet: As a result of the divide between the rest of the galaxy and New Eden, ''Eve'' is a vision of what our galaxy could have been without the Butlerian Jihad. The Jovians, as a result of enduring the ''Eve'' collapse fairly well, are where humans would be at as of ''Dune'' and ''Eve Online'' had there been no Jihad/Eve collapse respectively. The timelines I've seen for ''Eve'' and ''Dune'' happen to place the Butlerian Jihad and ''Eve'' collapse within a millenium of each other, and the present day, as of Eve Online and the original ''Dune'', are close (give or take a millennium), which makes this a particularly interesting connection.
201* Conceptually, of course, AbsentAliens are one of the most prominent links between the four.

204[[WMG: Every character in fiction is and is played by the same person.]]
205There are three things that make a character the same: same name, same actor (or voice actor), and being an {{Expy}} or CaptainErsatz. Character A has the same actor as Character B, who has the same first name as Character C, who also voices Character D, who is an {{Expy}} of character E... So on and so forth until every character is the same person. And this means everyone is both a Time Lord and God. Especially [[Literature/StrangerInAStrangeLand Valentine Michael Smith]]. And Morgan Freeman himself is not the ''character'' God, so he doesn't have to be a Time Lord, so it all works out.
206* And thus Film/SpiderMan1 is a [[Film/CatsAndDogs talking dog]].
207
208
209[[WMG: ''Manga/LuckyStar'' takes place in the same universe as [[Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro Chan]], but in the future.]]
210* In the future of the Dokuroverse, immortality has been attained, but as a side effect women stop aging past 12. This is why all the characters in ''Manga/LuckyStar'' are so short.
211
212[[WMG: ''Everything'' is a [[VideoGame/CityOfHeroes Nemesis plot]].]]
213I had to put it somewhere.
214
215[[WMG: ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' is orchestrated by Aziraphale from ''Literature/GoodOmens''.]]
216The church plot is just a convinient cover-up. All he really wants is to get good music into Heaven, and this is the only way to do it. This is how the Blues Brothers manage to survive [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat everything from getting a building blown up with them in it]] to [[FridgeLogic driving a car with a rod broke]] (broken rods generally end with the car quitting since all the oil is leaking out). Crowley was responsible for all the police cars getting totaled. And the broken watches.
217
218[[WMG: G Gundam, Gundam Wing, and Gundam X are all the same story.]]
219All three stories feature a protagonist with a WaveMotionGun working in a FiveManBand to stall an escalating conflict and/or destroy a potentially dangerous superweapon (Devil Gundam, Zero System, Satellite System). {{Colony Drop}}s and {{Mid Season Upgrade}}s also feature prominently in some form or another. The exact details of the story change depending on where and when it's being told.
220
221[[WMG: The Most Ultimate [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Grail War]] Ever consists of:]]
222Saber: [[{{Manga/Berserk}} Guts]]
223Rider: [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]]
224Archer: [[FutureBadass Can't be replaced]]
225Assassin: [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Satsujinki]], or [[Anime/{{Noir}} Kirika]]
226TrueAssassin: [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Altaïr]] (In this case, the only thing handicapping him is the necessity for mana from a Master to sustain his existance as a Servant. Otherwise everyone would just be dead.)
227Berserker: ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, or [[{{Manga/Berserk}} Guts]]
228Caster: [[Literature/{{Slayers}} Lina Inverse]], or [[Manga/Bastard1988 Dark Schneider]] or [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha Takamichi]]
229* Archer? Hmm, [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Quincy]] Archer (hates you), perhaps?
230
231[[WMG: Taylor Swift's ''Love Story'' is about [[Film/HighSchoolMusical Kelsi Nielsen's]] neo-feminist adaptation of ''Romeo and Juliet''.]]
232In both ''Love Story'' and ''Juliet and Romeo'', the two lovers both live. Taylor's has them get married, and there's no reason they couldn't have married in Albuquerque as in Kelsi's! (This theory is for the musical version of ''High School Musical''.)
233
234[[WMG: The helicopter that Chev Chelios falls ''out of'' in Film/{{Crank}} is the same one that the Senator's bodyguard in ShootEmUp falls ''into''.]]
235Both films feature ridiculously over-the-top, [[DeadpanSnarker wisecracking]] AntiHero protagonists who [[CoitusUninterruptus have sex in incredibly unusual situations]] who [[{{Determinator}} nonchalantly ignore]] [[MadeOfIron incredibly serious injuries]], unlikeable, somewhat creepy {{Big Bad}}s and general [[RuleOfCool over-the-top awesomeness]]. I, for one, want to see a showdown between them.
236
237[[WMG: [[Comicbook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen Orlando]] is everybody.]]
238That is all.
239
240[[WMG: The Present]]
241An education in English language and literature enjoins one to maintain the present tense whenever discussing a work of fiction, regardless of temporal progression in the world portrayed in the work. [[LogicalFallacies Clearly, every world in every work of fiction has only the present.]] There are no pasts or futures for any of these worlds because of this injunction forbidding the past or future tenses whenever describing any such fictional world (not to mention distinctions such as the perfect, pluperfect, or future perfect tenses). Every work of fiction takes place at the exact same moment and that moment is forever now.
242
243[[WMG: Contradiction to the above: there is no such thing as "Present"]]
244Time moves, and the real Present is supposed to be shifting to incomprehensible levels. We just used Present Tenses to signify the Present, but in mathematics, there is no such thing, only the Past and the Future.
245* Actually, we live in the Future.

249[[WMG: The [[Manga/OutlawStar Ctarl-Ctarl]] are an offshoot race of the [[Film/{{Avatar}} Na'vi.]]]]
250Most obviously, they're both cat-like races, with a certain amount of ProudWarriorRaceGuy in them. Less obviously, note that their spaceships have jungles inside them. Why would they do that? The jungles are related to the Pandoran memory trees, and thus serve as the ship's computer. Finally, the Na'vi live on a moon, right? Well, the Ctarl-Ctarl power up by exposure to ''a planet's moon''! Clearly, being away from Eywa has caused this particular offshoot race to stunt its growth and lose its blue coloring, but they still have some of that connection and it's been generalized to all moons.
251
252
253[[WMG: The world is a fiction and not different to the crossovers mentioned above]]
254We use language to lie against ourselves, for example giving ourselves names. When it is a lie, it is just another fiction, and can [[BreakingTheFourthWall possibly be manipulated into anything we want]].
255* Deconstructed by ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''. In that dystopia, The Party, with the invention of NewSpeak, can basically make everyone believe their lies and propaganda.

260[[WMG: TV Tropes is just a wiki]]
261Whose job is to [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya spread excitement all over the world with Epileptic Trees]]!
262
263[[WMG: ComicBook/VForVendetta is set in the same universe as Literature/LordOfTheFlies]]
264Throughout [=LotF=], the kids keep mentioning "The War," and how the pilot earlier said that since "The Bomb" was used, everyone is dead, but based on the ending, the British are still very much around.
265In V For Vendetta, there is a [[NearMisses near-miss]] nuclear exchange with Britain, and because all electronics in Britain would be hit by the EMP, all of the reports would have to be from surrounding countries, which would report that Britain was lost behind a mushroom cloud.
266
267[[WMG: The Grand Unifying Theory of Programable Alternative Realities]]
268As proposed by some wonderful mathematicians (someone please wikimagic in the names), it is actually probable that we are living in a simulated universe existing in a computer program being utilized by a futuristic society. (The argument being that such a society could create a near infinite number of simulation universes, but there can only be one real one. Thus, according to probability, there is a one in an extremely large number chance that we are real, aka an infinitesimally small one.) The logical conclusion is that this universe is such a simulation, and that we are all, or mostly at least, computer programs designed to simulate humans living in a universe such as this at this time. However, when you add to this the fact that many programmers and creators like to add in shout outs and references to their other work, this has startling implications.
269
270Perhaps ALL fictional universes that are encountered in our own timeline are really just shout outs to other works that have been created by the same development team over the course of their time working on project Simulated Multiverse. Thus, every single alternate fictional reality is just as real as our own... that is to say, not real at all, but just here as a shout out to those who visiting out simulated universe.
271
272As all fictional universes are exceedingly more interesting than ours, it is likely that ours was designed for scientific or educational reasons. That, combined with the fact that we, here at this very wiki, seek to codify and examine the other fictional universes, means that perhaps the TV Tropes Wiki is the actual purpose of this world, to codify and explain the behaviors of the Great Programmers themselves.
273
274Thus, once the TV Tropes Wiki is complete, we will no longer have a purpose, the wiki will be exported for use in schools in the Real Universe, and our own will be shut down and replaced by one significantly more interesting.
275
276[[WMG: The Netherwitch from ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}'' is just another alias for [[Manga/XxxHOLiC Yuuko Ichihara.]]]]
277Okay, so when we saw her, Mumm-Ra was just using that identity to lure Lion-O into yet another trap. But the series implied that the Netherwitch had been around for quite a while, and although the idea of Mumm-Ra regularly pulling a GenderBender to troll people is amusing, think about what "she" offered: access to another dimension [[EquivalentExchange at a cost.]] [[Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle Sound familiar?]]
278
279We know that Yuuko [[IHaveManyNames is known by several different names]] across the multiverse, and Mumm-Ra's probably been around the block enough times to know about her identity as the Netherwitch on Third Earth. Since time flows differently across the worlds, [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl one night of hard drinking and the ensuing hangover]] on Yuuko's end kept her distracted long enough for Mumm-Ra to pose as her and set up the whole plot on his end. One can only imagine how ticked off Yuuko would be once she caught on, but that's a story for another fic.

281[[WMG: ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' is the future of the ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' games.]]
282In ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', we see the nano machines becoming more important, with soldiers being implanted with them, being used to communicate, regulate emotions, and more.
283
284Research continued into nano machines, as they were the big thing, leading up making a person who could control them, Rex himself, and to the nanite explosion in Generator Rex. It was an accident from a research company attempting to move to the next step of nanite research.
285
286[[WMG: ''Literature/JaneEyre'' is a sequel to ''Literature/ATaleOfTwoCities'', while ''Literature/AnimalFarm'' is a sequel to ''Literature/JaneEyre'']]
287Time Lords fit in here somewhere.
288
289[[WMG: Series/{{Andromeda}} and [[Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys Hercules]] take place in the same universe]]
290Captain Dylan Hunt ''is'' Hercules. Hercules is immortal, so will still be alive in the future, they look exactly alike, and Hunt was reffered to as being "like a greek god" at least once. Hunt's too strong to be a pure human, so claims that he's half-heavy worlder. Not to mention he survived on that ship for all those centuries. (Yeah, I know, black hole time dialition, but that [[ResearchFailure doesn't work that way]].)
291
292[[WMG:The existence of [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Imaginationland]] proves all these theories right.]]
293In other words, this place is [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory Shinji Ikari and Haruhi Suzumiya on Gallifrey]].
294
295[[WMG: Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer, Series/{{Dollhouse}} and Series/{{Firefly}} ''all'' take place in the same universe.]]
296Too big to go on the individual shows' pages. The [[ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer comic book]] continuations of Buffyverse series are considered in-continuity and are important to the story. The history goes like this:
297* First, the universe is created and evolves as seen in Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}} and Series/{{Angel}}. At late 80's the founders of Rossum create the tech, but still stay below radar.
298* The events of Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}} and Series/{{Angel}} take place. Rossum accumulates power.
299* In the aftermath of the worldshaking events of Buffyverse Season 8/6, the remaining traces of magic are lost, so TheUnmasquedWorld is canceled out by the destruction of the masquerading party. In the aftershock battles, Faith's brain is damaged. Willow's power isn't enough to restore Faith's original self, but she is able to patch her up and uses the last of her power to create the "Caroline" persona. Echo's resistance to wiping is a remnant of her Slayer power. Rapidly losing it's supernatural support, Wolfram & Hart, as always, relies on human evil and approaches Rossum. They get access to the Hyperion Hotel, probably buing it as a mockery of Team Angel who had to leave it. Illyria finds a way (or is forced to) leave Fred's body, but in doing so leaves it empty. The body somehow falls into the hands of Wolfram & Hart, who give it to the LA Dollhouse.
300* {{Series/Dollhouse}} takes place.
301* Most of W&H and Rossum are destroyed in the ZombieApocalypse of 2020. The Senior Partners lose direct representation on Earth. The human society is rebuilt. Since there aren't many humans left, technocracy arises. The misuse by survivors corrupts the English language used in New York area beyond recognition.
302* {{ComicBook/Fray}} takes place.
303* The quick reconstruction of Earth eventually backfires. The degradation seen in {{ComicBook/Fray}} continues. Humans use up almost all the resources the planet has to offer. In a desperate attempt to escape the inevitable environmental disaster, US and China join efforts and build spaceships to escape. The EarthThatWas is abandoned. In the new society, the Blue Sun corporation arises and secretly becomes a new front for the Senior Partners.
304* {{Series/Firefly}}.

307[[WMG: {{Wangst}} [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds is the most powerful force in the multiverse.]]]]
308So you can skip having your DoomsdayDevice requiring ImportedAlienPhlebotinum and just use Music/LinkinPark albums as an alternative fuel source.
309* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' '''confirms''' this. Also, this is why TrueArtIsAngsty and why [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]] harvest young girls' emotions for entropy-free energy.
310** [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann But there is an opposing force...]]
311** Objection! In ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}'', a depressed Eridan attempts to kill Sollux, but only knocks him unconscious. If wangst were as powerful as you argue, he would've succeeded.
312
313[[WMG: The Reeses and Foleys in Zemeckis and Gale productions are all related.]]
314* They're two families of cops, who for [[GenerationXerox some reason]] have a tendency to get partnered together. This needs a bit of elaboration, given that in ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'' they're a black and white duo, in ''Trespass'' they're both black, and in ''Used Cars'' and ''1941'' they're both white. The 2015 Reese and Foley are descended from Agent Reese from ''Used Cars'' and Officer Foley from ''Trespass''. They, in turn are cousins of Agent Foley and Officer Reese from the same films - so at some point there were two mixed marriages. And both late 20th century sets are descended from Privates Reese and Foley in ''Film/NineteenFortyOne1979'', who may or may not have moved into law enforcement after the war.

316[[WMG: Moon Knight is actually an Assassin]]
317* Let's see. Gaudy, over the top costume with beak-shaped hood? [[http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kw5h0x42cd1qa7otlo1_400.jpg Check]]. A colourful array of abilities and weaponry? Also present. So how does it all fit? Simple. He was undercover in the employ of Templar Raoul Bushman when they located a temple in Egypt housing a Piece of Eden (more specifically, The Shroud). Due to the dire circumstances the Assassin Order is in during these times, Marc tried to stop Bushman from siezing this piece but failed and was mortally wounded, much like in the commonly established origin. However, Bushman was unable to sieze it for the Templar order and had to leave it. Meanwhile, Moon Knight's life is saved by the Shroud, and is given a mission by Khonshu (who was actually one of those who came before). Unfortunately, the experience shatters Spector's mind, much like The Shroud did to Giovanni Borgia. However, instead of merely hearing voices in his head, Marc develops full on alternate personalities, and the only thing he takes away from his encounter is a quest for vengeance. On the plus side, it also gave him some moderate self-healing ability, hence how he has managed to come back from the brink of death and other serious injuries. The Templars no longer deem him a serious threat to their main goal after another encounter with Bushman (although he still carries a grudge) and the Assassin's can no longer trust Marc due to his unstable nature. All Moon Knight can do now is essentially carry out what he believes to be his mission from Khonshu.

319[[WMG: Quite possibly the dumbest lineage theory [[@/{{Gumbal1}} I]] have ever come up with]]
320Back before his mining days, [[VideoGame/MineCraft Steve?]], or [[Webcomic/HomeStuck Hass "The Flame" Harley]] as he is more commonly known, worked as a part time ectobiologist. One day, as a joke, he decided to mix the genetic samples of a wolf and a zombie. This resulted in him getting fired from his job, but resulted in the creation of Halley, his dog. An important thing to note is that, going by the ReviveKillsZombie logic, plus the HyperactiveMetabolism logic of early Minecraft (His experiments took place during Beta 1.6.6), Halley had the heterozygous "Weak to apples" genotype, but this trait is recessive. Remember this.
321
322Meanwhile, during a party consisting of Creator/{{Nintendo}} villians, [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Wispy Woods]] and a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Boo]] got a bit too drunk, and [[InterspeciesRomance nine months later]] Wispy Woods, who [[FemaleMonsterSurprise is a woman]], gives birth to the first [[Series/DoctorWho Weeping Angel]], who was promptly sent back to the beginning of the universe by [[Webcomic/EightBitTheater Sarda]], to whom Wispy Woods owed money. Like Halley, the Angel had the heterozygous "Weak to Apples" genotype from its mother, but unlike Halley, its father gave it the "Does not like being looked at" gene, which is dominant.
323
324Fast forward several years. Vriska, who is annoyed that Team Avolition hasn't been posting enough videos, manipul8s [=Storm_Surge=], who is secretly a [[AllTrollsAreDifferent mustard-blooded Troll]] (Thus owing to his abilities as a {{griefer}}), into breaking into an ectobiology facility and mixing the genetic material of Bec (Who has Halley's DNA) and the Weeping Angel. The spawn lacks the "Does not like being looked at" gene, but gets the homozygous version of the "Weak to Apples" gene.

332Both KR and Heroes have a Montecito, the setting of Las Vegas. Linderman was apparently running the casino, which would fit with the Montecito's high owner turnover ratio. It's possible the Company was killing or persuading the previous owners, using people with powers, in order to get their hands on it. Also, the Shanti virus, in an alternate universe, is what kills everyone in Stephen King's ''Literature/TheStand'', except much earlier (This is supported by King himself, who said that ''The Stand'' universe was just an alternate version of ours). Possibly due to time-travel, or the Company experimenting with an early form of the virus. The Company coverups would also explain all the weird stuff that keeps happening to [[Series/TheXFiles Mulder and Scully]], especially if you've read the "Last One Standing" fanfic.
