[http://ink-city.dreamwidth.org/ Ink City] is a cartoon-themed [[Journal Roleplay|Dreamwidth roleplay]] (originally on [[Live Journal]], moved as of January
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 80:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Him versus Doctor Norrington.
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: [[Pokémon|Berri]], having been completely broken back home, has become this as a result. What she did to Trevor just proves it.
* [[Cycle of Revenge]]: Thanks to the Ink Well allowing residents to respawn, death isn't the
* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: Some of the things the voice in Hely's head could be interpreted this way, such as "'''You've made this City what it is!'''"
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Yakko, Audrey II, and a few others.
Line 106:
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: [[Katamari Damacy|Ichigo]] is quick to tell others that she's a Royal Cousin, emphasizing the royalty aspect. There's also Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana-Fana-Bo-Besca the Third, aka 'Dot'.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: [[Fairly Oddparents|Cupid]] turned [[Lackadaisy|Mordecai]] into a kitten. And promptly ''forgot about it'', much to Mordecai's dismay.
* [[Evil Genius]]: The City tends to attract a lot of these, many of them also [[Mad Scientist
* [[The Evils of Free Will]]: Trevor wishes to eliminate this and transform Ink City into New Bregna. [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|All for their own good]], [[Sarcasm Mode|of course]].
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: [[G La DOS]] and [[Transformers Prime|Starscream]]. To make matters worse, part of the reason they're squaring off is because ''both'' are interested in exploiting [[9|the stitch-punks]].
Line 145:
** Bass has somewhat of a minor one after {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap|tagging the wall through Berri]]}}. It would have been more serious if he hadn't forcibly pushed it aside for other priorities, but a full-blown one is certainly on the horizon.
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: One ''tries'' to run the Cathedral like this, ordering the other stitchpunks to stay inside and never use their communicators. It doesn't work.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Trevor got a taste of his own
** Prior to this, Trevor managed to hurt Rigby by showing Phoenix a video of {{spoiler|Rigby's revenge killing}} and damaging his friendship with the lawyer. Rigby eventually gets his revenge by broadcasting footage of what led up to Trevor's hoisting above.
** Trevor is a magnet for these; Berri takes the first example and throws in a dash of [[Mad Science]] by {{spoiler|pumping him full of paralytic and opening up his chest}}.
Line 152:
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: {{spoiler|The Mayor's Consort is essentially a mix between an attractive young lady and an Ink Monster.}}
** Subverted by [[Sam and Max Freelance Police|Doctor Norrington]], who's an [[Eldritch Abomination|Elder God]] in disguise.
* [[Humans Are
* [[I Am Not Weasel]]: Rigby is constantly confused for a rodent. Ren has the same basic problem.
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: Not all of the residents are upset by being brought to the city, having left behind even more [[Crapsack World
* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: [[Transformers Prime|Megatron]] demanded that [[Transformers Animated|Swindle]] prove his loyalty by finding a way to destroy the Ink Well and its regeneration abilities. Swindle's been trying to [[Take a Third Option]] and weasel out of it without making himself a target in the process.
* [[Ignored Expert]]: {{spoiler|Mordecai to Benson in Log #3}}
Line 192:
* [[Master of Delusion]]: A number of times.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Yakko, Wakko and Dot still have this, as do Deadpool and Petitius.
* [[Meta Guy]]: The City tends to draw in plenty of both types, along with a few [[Fourth Wall Observer
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Another humorous misunderstanding has Heloise take Mordecai's [[Embarrassing Nickname]] to the next level.
* [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal]]: Caroline was pretty dedicated to helping the Decepticons until Megatron showed up. How he treated her resulted in her rethinking which side of the Cybertorian war she's on.
Line 208:
* [[Name's the Same]]: [[Regular Show|Mordecai]] and [[Lackadaisy|Mordecai]]. Has led to the players [[Fan Nickname|referring to them as]] "Birdecai" and "Mordecat", respectively.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Crmsn is one of these in the [[Troubled but Cute]] way, complete with a dose of [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] and [[Broken Hero]]-ness to judge by a recent thread.
* [[No Ending]]: Happens occasionally to some threads and/or logs. Sometimes these are even referenced later as [[Noodle Incident
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: When Yakko, Rigby and Crmsn tried to rescue Trevor from [[A Fate Worse Than Death]], their reward was {{spoiler|getting blown up by Bass}}.
** Belldandy helps Trevor repair his building, unaware it was damaged by Optimus Prime breaking Aisling out. Trevor immediately starts plotting to run experiments on ''her'' instead.
Line 224:
** Killer robot [[Robotomy|Thrasher]] and bad luck magnet [[Ruby Gloom|Misery]]. He offers to be her bodyguard.
** [[Mega Man Battle Network|Bass]] and [[Pokémon Black and White|Shiro]] seem to be heading down this path.
** [[Katamari Damacy|Ichigo]] and [[Persona 4|Souji Seta]]. She's also BFFs with [[Animaniacs|Dot]], which the latter has noted as odd since [[Genre Savvy|common cliche would seemingly dicate]] that two [[Kawaiiko
** [[The Secret of Kells|Aisling]] and [[Transformers Prime|Optimus Prime]].
** In crack canons, [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yami Bakura]] and [[Powerpuff Girls|Him]] almost always end up in one of these.
Line 297:
* [[Speak in Unison]]: Dot and Ichi have a tendency to skirt ''very close'' to this, saying ''almost'' the exact same thing at nearly the same time.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Doctor Chipotle Junior, in a humorous contrast to [[Lethal Chef]] Heloise.
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Parodied when Knockout discovers Jetstorm has Starscream's coding and assumes he's a forbidden sparkling between Starsceam and an Autobot.
* [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]: {{spoiler|Heloise's preferred form of restraint.}}
* [[Sympathetic Murderer]]: Explored. If somebody murdered ''you'', does that give you the right to murder ''them'' in return and consider it a [[Karmic Death]] for an [[Asshole Victim]]? Or will that, in turn, give ''them'' the right to kill ''you'' again?
Line 331:
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]: Tai Lung takes the Young Tigress on as his pupil. How straight he plays this remains to be seen, but considering her relationship with his estranged master, Shifu...
** [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|The Tengu Shredder]] was this to Saft, Leonardo, and Aisling.
* [[Ultimate Authority Mayor]]: The Mayor sees himself as this, while the residents tend to see him as [[Authority in Name Only]]. He tends to be 'hands-off' unless somebody hits one of his [[Berserk Button
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: When Caroline leaves Cave's service, she takes a hard drive with her, carrying it here. This doesn't stop Cave from reaching right in to try and reclaim it.
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: Yakko and Rigby's [http://ink-logs.livejournal.com/20131.html?thread=1925283#t1925283 Pretty Fly (For a Toon Guy)], mocking Trevor to his face.
Line 347:
** In general this is really common, see [[Put on a Bus]] above.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Discussed between [[Fallout: New Vegas|Priscilla and Mr. House]], after Priscilla [[Unwilling Roboticisation|unwillingly becomes a Securitron with a unique AI]] due to [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Discord]]'s Halloween antics.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Berri ''thought'' she was protecting everyone by neutralizing Trevor, but her
** Yosuke manages to seriously anger Souji by repeatedly ignoring his desire to be careful. Signing him up as the main attraction of a 'Butler Fight' without bothering to ask his permission first was bad enough, but when he follows that up by making posters with their names and faces and plasters them all over
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Being in the City essentially causes indirect immortality. Not everyone is a fan of this.
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: During the [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]] incident, Caroline gets Optimus Prime's attention and sympathy with this. Cave does NOT [[Not Helping Your Case|help his case one bit]].
