Shinji and Warhammer40K/Trivia

Bpen loves making Shout Outs to other works. So many that the list has its own page.
The Genre Busting of Shinji and Warhammer 40K. What is it all about, really? Well...
- ...it's about a kid, who once completely lacked a backbone, discovering a tabletop game that gives him a totally new outlook on life, which in turn causes him to...
  - Be far more self-assured in his interactions with others;
  - Inspire nearly everyone around him to overcome personal limitations that they thought they had;
  - Bring fervent hope back to an entire planet on the verge of either a new dark ages or worse;
  - Establish an international shadow brotherhood composed solely of elementary school children, right under their parents' noses;
  - Somewhat accidentally bend the wills of most women (and some men) in the world toward desiring to be his fanatical slaves;
  - Push both weapons technology and human psionic evolution forward at least several millennia;
  - Take on, and ultimately defeat, a cabal of ancient conspirators at their own game almost before they realize he's playing it;
  - Redefine the boundaries of known quantum, temporal and paradimensional physics, including changing the past without time travel or time paradoxes (probably)...and insodoing, defy reality-warping space monsters with degrees of reality-warping that blow the monsters minds;
  - Willfully create stable time loops;
  - Give psychological counseling and/or necessary ass-kicking to another version of himself from an alternate universe wherein none of this ever happened;
  - Move dangerously close to forging humanity, as a whole, into a trillions-strong fighting force capable of holding back the endless hordes of Eldritch Abominations that would otherwise obliterate it without a second thought;
  - And inspire the Emperor of the Penguin species to reach for his people's ages-old dream of joining the other avians of the world in being capable of flight.
- ...among other things.
