[http://ink-city.dreamwidth.org/ Ink City] is a cartoon-themed [[Journal Roleplay|Dreamwidth roleplay]] (originally on [[Live JournalLiveJournal]], moved as of January 17, 2012), founded on August 17th, 2010 by a Californian art student. Its claim to fame is that is specifically designed for animated, drawn, and rendered characters (no live-action characters are accepted) and has quite a large focus on existential and meta themes.
 
The premise is initially similar to that of other [[Mega Crossover]] games; [[Ontological Mystery|Characters from various canons suddenly find themselves in the strange and bizarre "Ink City" after crawling out of a large ink well in the center of town]], and are forced to co-exist with everyone else who also happened to be brought here... peacefully or otherwise. A unique element of the City itself however is that it's made of up buildings from each of the character's worlds. When a character enters the City, they bring with them a building relating to them from the place they come from, such as their house or place of work.
Line 13:
** A more meta example: take a [[Cute but Psycho]] pink pokémon with the power to shapechange, and give it [[Split Personality|multiple personalities]]. Where's the [http://rpdictionary.wikia.com/wiki/PB PB] for her human form come from? [[Elfen Lied|Why, the anime with]] [[Cute but Psycho]] [[Elfen Lied|girls with]] [[Split Personality|multiple personalities]] [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|and pink hair]]!
* [[Addressing the Player|Addressing The Mun]]: [[1/0|Petitus]] does this all the time.
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: [[GLaDOS]].
* [[All the Myriad Ways]]: Caroline justifies her decision to aid Starscream with a variation on this. Sure, betraying Optimus Prime to him will surely cause the deaths of millions of innocents upon his return home... but that's not ''her'' universe, so what does that matter to her?
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: The [[Transformers]] cast has representatives from [[Transformers Generation 1|Gen 1]], [[Transformers Generation One Dreamwave|the G1 Dreamwave comics]], [[Transformers Animated|Animated]], [[Transformers Prime|Prime]], and [[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]. Including [[One Steve Limit|four Starscreams]].
Line 128:
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Several among the Transformers Cast. [[Transformers: Shattered Glass|SG Megatron]], [[Transformers: Shattered Glass|SG Starscream]], [[Transformers Generation 1|Skyfire]], and [[Transformers Prime|TFP Optimus Prime]] come to mind
* [[A God Am I]]: Trevor invokes this a lot.
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: [[Robotomy|Thrasher]] throughout the me1TD0WN event.
** [[Doomed by Canon]]: A bit of an odd case; [[Robotomy|Thrasher's]] madness-inducing revelation is becoming aware of his canon's status as a [[Screwed by the Network|cancelled show]] that [[Too Good to Last|likely won't see any sort of revival]] in the history of ''ever'', and is a large part of [[Break the Cutie|what leads to]] his [[Megaton Punch|city]]-[[Brick Break|shattering]] [[Arc Words|me1td0wn]].
** [[Word of God]] says this is what happened to Bass after he {{spoiler|absorbed part of the Mayor's [[Fourth Wall Observer]] powers, leading him to [[Hearing Voices|hear unidentified voices]].}} The madness made him [[Oh Crap|more violent than usual]]. This lasted until becoming Crmsn's [[Living Shadow]] during the Halloween event ''forced'' him into close contact with people he'd otherwise been avoiding. This acted as something of a weird [[Sanity Ball]] dropped into his lap, and he's been improving ever since, albeit still dealing with stress from what had happened. Of course, with renewed contact with the wall, [[It Got Worse|things got worse]].
Line 139:
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Trevor frequently engages in these just in everyday conversation.
* [[Has Two Daddies]]: Legato. Starscream and Soundwave have also formed an odd family unit with Jetstorm.
* [[Hearing Voices]]: Ren starts hearing a [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience|red-tinted]], purple-tinted for a while, voice during the World Split that keeps abusing the fourth wall; it hangs around afterward.
** Heloise also starts hearing voices after the World Split is fixed; its comments don't bode well for her future...
* [[The Heartless]]: {{spoiler|The Inky Mayor has the power to summon hoards of monstrous black Ink creatures, actually somewhat similar in appearance to the original Heartless.}}
Line 315:
* [[Thou Shall Not Kill]]: Death may be cheap, but Phoenix doesn't care for the idea of going around ''killing'' others anyway, short of self-defense.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Trevor attempting to justify [[And I Must Scream|his]] [[Cold-Blooded Torture|plans]] for Yakko... to Wakko.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Nearly ''everyone'' in Event #1.
