Crapsack World/Fan Works: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Aeon Natum Engel (Fanfic)|Aeon Natum Engel]]'': The ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' cast placed in the ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'' setting + ''[[First Encounter Assault Recon|F.E.A.R.]]''. In the background there is the Unknowable Tsab, the Lovecraftisized Darker and Edgier [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Time and Space Administration Bureau]]. That should be self-explanatory.

** Its rewrite ''[[Aeon Entelechy Evangelion]]'' at the first glance seems to be a little lighter, what with stabilized fronts, the Rapine Storm successfully contained and with everyone being much, much more competent. And then we are introduced to the [[Eclipse Phase|TITAN]] AIs, and one of them is based on [[Command and& Conquer|CABAL]].

* While by the end of the original story, the [[Pokegirls]] world is [[A World Half Full]], the overwhelming bulk of the expanded universe is prequels, back in the bad old days when life was nasty,<ref> in more ways than one</ref>, brutish, and short, and male relations with women were more akin to the modern relationship with cattle<ref> bearing in mind that cattle are, in fact, several hundred pounds of muscle with pointy bits on the end that are more than capable of mauling you, only nonthreatening due to being tamed and obedient slaves</ref> than one of equals, and the women's biology only served to enforce this relationship.

* [[Dark Fic|Dark Fics]]s implemented badly can sometimes end up as this.

* ''[[Deserving]]'' is set in one of these, as summed up in the sporking: "I [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy|honestly don't know who to root for in Deserving]], because the world is [[Dysfunction Junction|populated by complete fuckwits]]. [[Harry Potter|Harry]] is an [[Conflict Ball|inconsistently]] [[Out of Character|characterised]] [[Jerkass|wanker]], as are Ron, Hermione and Neville, Severus is just inconsistently characterised ([[A Date with Rosie Palms|and a wanker in a more literal sense]], [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|of course]]), [[Ron the Death Eater|Minerva, Sprout and Pomfrey]] seem to have morphed into three bitter old hags I half expect to see [[Macbeth|meeting up with an ambitious nobleman on a blasted heath]], the kids are [[Gary Stu|Gary Stus]]s at best and [[Creepy Child|downright creepy]] at worst, [[Purity Sue|Millicent]] ([[Offstage Waiting Room|where's she been when all this is going on?]]) is a [[Mary Sue]], and then [[It Got Worse|there are the actual villains.]]"

* In [[Christian Humber Reloaded]], the world faces the threat of village-destroying raiders, Chaos, [[Bionicle|the Visorak]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Dr. Eggman's forces]], rogue dragons, [[StarcraftStarCraft|the Zerg]], a fusion of [[Final Fantasy X|Sin]] and [[Final Fantasy X -2|Vegnagun]], [[Kingdom Hearts|Organization XIII]], and even the President, among others. The only hope it has is a [[Heroic Sociopath|psychopath]] who will [[Disproportionate Retribution|kill people for barely any reason]].

* You know how Treasure Town in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is listed as one of these? In [[Brave New World (fanfic)|Brave New World]] it's about eleven zillion times worse. The entire town is built upon a huge gate that contains the most evil thin in the Omniverse (that is, a collection of every multiverse ever), and it is the primary base of the Nhilators, a villainous group that at times gives [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Chaos]] a run for it's money. There is exactly one character from Treasure Town that is not evil, and he's a ghost who became a priest in order to repent.

* ''[[The Shape of the Nightmare to Come]]'' - [[Dark Fic]] of [[Warhammer 4000040,000]], pathron saint of all crapsack worlds and turns it's crappiness [[Up to Eleven]]. God Emperor of Mankind dies {{spoiler|and is reborn in Warp as Star Father, ruthless Chaos God of Order}}, Astronomicon collapses, so Empire of Man gets fractured into several smaller empires, out of which many are even worse than it was and most of it's forces are either destroyed or starts mad, fanatical crusades. Tau turns into bitter conquerors who sees other races as lesser ones. Most of Eldar dies {{spoiler|to awake Ynnead, who ends up trapped in Infinity Circuits so they all died for nothing}}. Chaos breaks from Eye of Terror and ''two'' Chaos Empires - one ruled by Abbadon and another by Huron Blackheart - rise. Orks and Tyranids merge into terrible New Devouer that eats half of the galaxy. The Void Dragon breaks free {{spoiler|through ends trapped in Solar System}}. Oh, and Necrons have {{spoiler|unleashed Ophilim Kiasoz, [[Eldritch Abomination]] that unmakes solar systems just by passing through them}}. The introduction sums it up:

* This is pretty much the default for much of the world in the ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' AU, the ''[[Nineteen Eighty Three1983 Doomsday Stories]],'' at least in the first 10 years or so after [[World War III|Doomsday]]. A good deal of the Nations are dead. Those who survived the initial nuclear carnage were forced to a grueling existence of simply trying to stay alive from day to day. Eventually, things ''do'' get better in some parts, like the [[The Federation|Alpine Confederation]].
