Basic Trope: A villain's main headquarters is within a levitating fortress in the air, in space, or within nothingness.

Straight: Lord Bloodstone's castle hovers ominously over Bob's peasant village.
Exaggerated: Anyone even remotely evil owns a floating structure, ranging from a small shack floating two feet in the air to Lord Bloodstone's continent-sized citadel in the exosphere.
Justified: Lord Bloodstone is actually a Knight Templar or a Well-Intentioned Extremist who believes that the higher his castle is, the closer he is to God.
Inverted: Lord Bloodstone dwells within the very bottom of an Elaborate Underground Base
Subverted: Lord Bloodstone's castle is actually resting on an invisible mountain. The mountain is invisible in order to make the fortress look more imposing.
Double Subverted: But when Lord Bloostone begins his evil plan, his castle rises into the sky.
Parodied: Lord Bloodstone's "imposing" fortress is actually a small house floating above the world.
Deconstructed: Lord Bloodstone begins to suffer from altitude sickness, which makes him unable to fight Bob at full strength and ultimately facilitates his demise.
- Alternatively, the effects of altitude sickness are what kill Lord Bloodstone.
- Alternatively, the logistics for getting food and water to a flying castle prove to be Lord Bloodstone's undoing.
Reconstructed: Lord Bloodstone's castle is encased in a force field that alleviates the negative effects of being at such a high altitude.
- The castle can lower itself to the ground to take on food and water, as well as to allow Lord Bloodstone's troops to enter and exit.
Zig Zagged: Lord Bloodstone has a castle that can switch between a grounded state and a floating state numerous times.
Averted: Lord Bloodstone's castle is always on the ground.
Enforced: ???
Lampshaded: "A floating castle... am I the only one tempted to spit off the side?"
Invoked: "What better way to defend a castle than to make it flying?"
Defied: ???
Discussed: ???
Conversed: ???
