Insanely Ever After: Difference between revisions

Line 49:

** Subverted '''hard''' with Sweeney, who pretty much refuses point blank to prescribe unnecessary drugs.

** May well be invoked with some of the NPC doctors, given that here [[Adults Are Useless]], and the medical care is largely ineffectual. Sweeney is pretty much the [[Only Sane Man]].

* [[Drama Bomb]]: Everything seemed to be going well. Relationships were springing up left, right and centre, character development was largely positive, everyone was the closest they could get to happy. Then, in one week, Flower took an accidental overdose, [[Disney Fairies|Fawn]]'s hallucinations intensified and she slit her wrists, and then [[It Got Worse]] with Thumper's genuine suicide attempt. It was pretty much a [[Wham Episode|Wham Week]] for all involved, and things haven't improved yet.

* [[Dramatic Shattering]]: [[Hercules (Disney)|Hercules]] versus a wooden doorframe turned into this, for both the wood, and the bones in his hand.

* [[Dying Declaration of Love]]: Ella pulls one of these on Thumper when he's being wheeled away after his overdose.

Line 94:

* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Psycho!Mad Hatter packs one that could scare off a lion.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Pretty much a description of how the patients wound up in the Asylum.

* [[Shout Out]]: Given that it's based on the Disney canon, shout outs to the actual movies are fairly common.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Given that it's based on the Disney canon, shout outs to the actual movies are fairly common.

** Hercules told Buzz that back home, there was a cartoon produced about him, with slightly unrealistic proportioning. Buzz found the whole thing much too funny for Herc's liking.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: [[The Emperor's New Groove (Disney)|Kuzco.]] No one really knows who he is, and very few people genuinely like him, yet he still acts as if he's the Emperor he used to be.

Line 100:

* [[Split Personality]]: Mad Hatter. He has five - one is an oversexed near-predator, one is a hyperactive man child, one is a complete psychopath, one is basically [[The Snark Knight]] in a top hat, and one is...actually a pretty reasonable guy.

* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: [[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|Prince Eric]] to [[Cinderella (Disney)|Cinderella]]. [[It Got Worse]].

* [[Tag Team Suicide]]: A variation. The last week in January saw three suicide attempts in as many days, first Flower taking an overdose, followed by Fawn slitting her wrists, and Thumper taking Esmeralda's sleeping pills, in what was dubbed Suicide January.

* [[Tag-Team Suicide]]: A variation. The last week in January saw three suicide attempts in as many days, first Flower taking an overdose, followed by Fawn slitting her wrists, and Thumper taking Esmeralda's sleeping pills, in what was dubbed Suicide January.

* [[Team Dad]]: Doctor Sweeney.

* [[Team Mom]]:

Line 110:

** Doctor Sweeney falls comfortably into a Type 3.

** Nurse Vivian, a sweet young girl from [[The Wizard of Oz|Oz]] might be veering towards a Type 2, but it's early days yet.

* [[They're Called Personal Issues for A Reason]]: It goes without saying that there are more issues in this building than you can shake a stick at. Getting a patient to say more than two words about their problems to a doctor is like pulling teeth, and for most, even talking about it with friends is a Very Big Deal.

* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: Practically runs on this.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]:

Line 118:

** See the Mad, Terrence and Thumper example below.

** [[Hercules (Disney)|Meg and Hercules]] definitely fall into Type 2.

* [[With Friends Like These]]: A mild example in Terrence, Thumper and The Mad Hatter. One's a major depressive, one is deadly opposed to rules, and the other has five different personalities. Needless to say, the relationship between the three is rather up and down at times.

* [[Work Hard Play Hard]]: Doc Sweeney - the most competent, dedicated doctor in the asylum, who also drinks and smokes like a sailor, rocks a karaoke machine, and used to be a street-fightin' man.

* [[Work Hard, Play Hard]]: Doc Sweeney - the most competent, dedicated doctor in the asylum, who also drinks and smokes like a sailor, rocks a karaoke machine, and used to be a street-fightin' man.

* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: Thumper and Flower, given that their forest burned down in a fire.
