Fisher Kingdom: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* Cephiro in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' is Type 3, which is revealed midway through the first season & becomes a major plot point in the second season.

* ''[[The Cat Returns]]'': The longer Haru stays in the Cat Kingdom, the more feline her appearance becomes. This is actually a mix of types 1 and 2, since she changes more if she starts to "lose herself" in the world.

* Being a resident (or even a previous resident) of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Hinamizawa]]'' means you get a chance of going all [[Ax Crazy|crazy]].

* The plot to ''[[Uzumaki]]''. The town Kurôzu-cho is "cursed by the spiral" causing inhabitants to initially go mad, and obsessed with spiral shapes. Towards the end {{spoiler|people start transforming into human-sized snails}}.

 

== Comic Books ==

* [[Those Annoying Post Brothers]] have the ability to reality-jump, and either change into a local form, or not, depending on their whim. They can, for example, change into a giant by going to a world of giants and becoming one, then returning to the world they started from but retaining their giant form. They can always return to normal by simply going home.

 

== Fan Works ==

* When the Dark Kingdom Renegades of ''[[Sailor Moon Expanded]]'' begin exploring other universes, they discover that there is an "adaptation effect" which forces extraplanar visitors to take on the characteristics of an existing native of that universe, usually one who is already similar to the visitor in some way.

 

* ''Disney's [[Pinocchio]]'' has Pleasure Island, called Land of Toys in the original novel, where you never have to work. The longer you stay there, the more you start to turn into a donkey. Though you could say it's a more literal version of making an ass of yourself.

* In the ''[[Tron]]'' universe, you will go from a normal human (User) to a program if you are digitized into a computer. You get to keep your mind, memories, face, and general body shape, but your clothes are substituted with a neat glowing bodysuit and you are subject to most of the "physical laws" of the computer world.

* ''[[An Elegy for the Still-living]]'': The entire story takes place in one of these, though it is most obvious in the second chapter. Francis creates a world from his own beliefs, and it in turn changes what he believes.

 

* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''Survival'' has the planet of the Cheetah people, which gradually turns you into a [[Were Cat|werecat]] the longer you stay.

** Simply traveling through time affects how you experience events, [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory|allowing, in some cases, a person to continue to remember people, objects, and events which have been erased in time]].

* The ''[[Space Cases]]'' episode "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Court" where the ship ends up in a parallel universe and everyone starts turning into Spung, the villainous lizard people of the series.

 

== Mythology and Religion ==

* This concept is central in Feng Shui (and geomancy in general). And you can alter your environment to make life better for you.

 

== Newspaper Comics ==

* When ''[[Dilbert]]'' was transferred to accounting (made up entirely of trolls), he began to turn into a troll. See [http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/1990-08-17/ here.]

 

== Tabletop Games ==

* In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series, especially [[Kingdom Hearts II]], Sora, Donald, and Goofy may magically transform into bodies more "appropriate" to the world they are visiting. This is relative, however. If humanity, cartoony or realistic, is the norm, there won't be any change. If speaking humanoid animals are the norm, there won't be any change. If non-humanoid speaking animals are the norm, they will change because apparently it is more "weird" for an upright-walking talking duck to exist in Simba's world than it is in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. Justified in the TRON world, however, because it's well known from the original film that digitizing people makes them neat and glowy.

* [[Girls Love]] [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Aoi Shiro]]'' has the eponymous Blue Castle, a place of chaos (similar to the aforementioned [[Warhammer 40,000|Eye of Terror]], <s>except with lesbian [[Catgirl|Cat Girls]]</s>) that will warp your [[This Is Your Brain on Evil|mind]] and [[Body Horror|body]].

 

== Web Comics ==

* The Sanrio universe is this to Lovecraft's Elder Gods in ''[[Hello Cthulhu]]''.

* The worlds of ''[[City of Reality]]'' do this. Poor Hawk turns into a human while in Magic World.

 

== Web Original ==

* The [[Mind Screw]] film ''The Elm-Chanted Forest'' has the main character fall down a hole and get captured by humanoid mushrooms. They tie him up so that eventually he will turn into a mushroom as well, because "Everybody becomes a mushroom down here". Except for a talking snail, apparently because the mushrooms have never noticed him. And then they sing a psychedelic musical number, starring a fungal [[Expy]] of [[Michael Jackson]] and [[Prince]]. And some of them appear to be wearing blackface. Did I mention this movie is a [[Mind Screw]]?

* In ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'' episode "The Prank Call of Cthulu", Billy and Irwin become more and more monstrous the more they make prank calls in Cthulu's realm.

 

== Real Life ==
