"Liter" is not "lesser" on purpose because it actually might fit the trope more.

Line 34:
* [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]:
{{quote|You are a Magical Girl, and you're currently feeding pancakes to an [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritchian Horror]] sitting on your lap.}}
* [[Doomed by Canon]]: We already know some of the deaths of the Walpurgisnacht arc by the times it happens.
* [[Everyone Is Gay]]: Did you expect any different from something that used PMMM as it's base source material? There is one female character who is in a relationship with a guy, and this character has, in no uncertain terms, had a ton of lesbian sex. Sayaka is implied to still have made her wish to benefit Kyosuke, but she is obviously in a relationship with Kyoko. And as for background characters, there is a yuri doujinshi that is very popular inside the company the protagonist works for. And that's not even touching how many named female characters are pining after the protagonist (who is of course also a female). Mami (a character of non-trivial prominence) was mentioned to be in a relationship in a flashback, but the gender was left unspecified, and this ''potential'' straightness has caused some bickering in the non-main posts. Guys for their part seem to be straight, but they hardly show up.
* [[Fake-Out Fade-Out]]: In thread 51, Deculture, or possibly a fake, says that he/she is done for this session. Then we get more Deculture posts in the thread. Also thread 54 (Deculture’s name is spelled wrong).
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: At least one Magical Girl was bisected when Kharn and her retinue decimated the 3rd officio
* [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]: There is some iDOLM@STER crossover. When Hibiki and Kyoko meet Yuma notes how similar they are. Which makes sense since one is practically (or actually) an [[Expy]] of the other.
* [[Lovecraft Lite]]: The Walpurgisnacht arc. Before the actual arc (narratively, not chronologically), we get tastes of it here and there.
{{quote|When the deadline finally ticked over - bedlam happened. All five locations gave birth to a [[Eldritch Abomination|grief-crazed abomination, witches that defied categorization]] - each one stronger and more powerful than the strongest one ever categorized. A fiery giant wielding a terrible spear, upon a [[Hellish Horse|hellish, demonic steed]]. An armored behemoth from the depths, both clawed hands gripping swords the size of skyscrapers. Another, a monster with brilliant amber tentacles sprouting from either side of its oblong head. A towering black mass that clawed at the sky, tendrils of shadow and hate rippling from its skirt. A demonic sun with fangs instead of teeth, and all-consuming despair instead of light.<ref>These descriptions more or less match {{spoiler|The Witch forms of: Kyoko, Sayaka, Mami, Madoka (Witch of Salvation incarnation), Madoka (Witch of Despair incarnation)}} respectively.</ref><br>
[[Didn't See That Coming|But none of them were Walpurgisnacht]]. Even as they killed hundreds of Magical Girls and created untold devastation to the parts of the world they spawned on - they were not the [[Fusion Dance|amalgamation of Witches]] that promised [[End of the World|to end the world]] in a gleeful laugh.|Sayaka}}
:[[Saved by Canon|Of course since it's a flashback, we already know the world ''didn't'' end]]. Kinda dampens the bleakness.
** To a Liter extent, the rest of the work has this as a backdrop. It is arguably a PMMM fanfic after all.
* [[Merry Christmas in Gotham|Merry MAXIMUM CHRISTMAS in Gotham]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Mami tipped Kirika off. Not only did this almost cost her friends there lives, but they didn’t tell Kyubey where the leak was even though they knew (to protect Mami). As a result, as a precautionary measure, Kyubey had the courier service he’d been using to the sword. Specifically Sayaka’s sword.
* [[Poke in the Third Eye]]: The Prophet's group didn't appreciate Haruka watching them. Chiaki had the plug pulled before the attack connected (which might not have been necessary because she shot one of the mirrors [[Magic Wand|Mirror]]).
* [[Ret Conned]]: While normally the responses in flashback threads try to avoid paradoxes, it seems they slipped up in one of them (trying to make sure prophecies come true doesn't count). Specifically that in [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/21068324/] Murderface shot Kyuubey for the first time in Kyuubey's office. In [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/21309791/] Girl A shot kyuubey when she was being treated on the medical floor.
* [[Saved by Canon]]: We know who some of the people are going to survive through the Walpurgisnacht arc.
* [[Self Deprecating Humor]]:
{{quote|you've woken up with amnesia. The kind third-rate soap opera writers and no-talent hacks use as a cheap plot device to drum up some mystery in the poorly written-schlock they laboriously pull out of their asses.}}
Line 57 ⟶ 64:
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: Christmas is important. Very important. Nothing is more important than Christmas.
{{quote|It's just Walpurgisnacht, you shouted at them.}}
:Arguably subverted/averted, as Kyoko knows that Walpurgisnacht is dire and wants to do something special while they are all still alive. The sheer peril they are going to be facing is actually why Kyoko cares so much. At what point, if any, are survival and duty less important than ''enjoying life''?
* [[Smoking Hot Sex]]: In Midori’s dojinshi. Chiaki, a heavy smoker, finds her stand in doing this after sex poor taste.
* [[Take That, Audience!]]:
Line 66 ⟶ 74:
{{quote|Look, obviously, this is a trap. For fuck's sake, Kharn, they didn't even pretend to ask for a neutral meeting ground. We're going right into the belly of the beast, here. But we don't care, do we?|Malal}}
* [[Tears of Blood]]: When Midori brought Faust to tears.
