== MST Tropes ==
* [[Berserk Button]]: Many, many, things that show up in the fanfictions are these to [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]].
** (From Defying Destiny)
{{quote|Has it occurred to you, cullengirl13xxx, that NO ONE GIVES A [[Symbol Swearing|$%@#]] [[Costume Porn|WHAT YOUR CHARACTERS ARE WEARING?]]}}
** [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] doesn’t like it when you insult [[G La DOS]]. Or get her [[OOC|out of character]]. [[It's My Life|Or kill her multiple times.]]
** In fact, an MST blog inspired directly by The Half-World called itself [http://trollinmahpantz.wordpress.com/ "HIT THE BERSERK BUTTON!"]
* [[Big No]]: (From [[It's My Life]])
Line 78:
** It just makes so… much… sense.
** It. Sporks. Itself.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Redundancy is practically a [[Running Gag]] on [[The Half World]], given how often it happens in the [[Fanfic|FanFics]] (which is always pointed out by [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]]). The [[MST|MSTs]] occasionally contain redundancy as well:
{{quote|And here’s another stupid chapter of the stupid fanfiction [[My Immortal]], which is stupid.}}
* [[Fan Nickname|Detractor Nickname]]: Invader Cakez, author of "Grazie the Beautiful New Girl", is almost always referred to by [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] as "Invader [[The Cake Is a Lie|The-Cakez-Is-A-Lie]]".
* [[Five Second Foreshadowing]]: Skepkitty helps us out with the [[M Preg|revelation]] in Love Knows No Race.
{{quote|''Really really really bad feelings''}}
Line 98:
** "''Still'' a better love story/fanfic than Love Knows No Race."
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: A comment on Zim Born Again, noting that {{spoiler|Zim was literally born again, not converted to Christianity}}, has led MarissaTheWriter into writing a fanfic "[[Invader Zim: Born Again Christian]]". It was promptly MSTed.
* [[Orwellian Retcon]]: While usually against changes in her published [[MST|MSTs]] when a mistake is pointed out, in the [[MST]] of Chapter 7 of Teen Fortress 2 [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] actually did that.
** As a general rule, if the mistake is a minor one it's [[Orwellian Retcon|corrected]]. If the mistake was a bigger part of the [[MST]] a note is added.
* [[Rapid-Fire "No"]]: (From Love Knows No Race)
{{quote|[[Madness Mantra|no no no no no no]] THIS ISN’T HAPPENING no no no no THE AUTHOR DID NOT JUST IMPLY THAT {{spoiler|ZIM AND DIB ARE BROTHERS AND THE CHILDREN OF THE ALMIGHTY TALLEST}} no no no no no no no no no NO [[Precision F-Strike|FUCKING]] NO}}
* [[Reference Overdosed]]: Basically every post is like this, but particularly the [[MST|MSTs]] of "Grazie the Beautiful New Girl" and "Half Irkens" due to [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] playing through both [[Portal (series)|Portal]] and [[Portal 2]] at the time.
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: In response to comments by [[It's My Life|MarissaTheWriter]]:
{{quote|Perhaps I should rewrite this site’s tagline: “THE HALF-WORLD, [[Department of Redundancy Department|a bloog bout haf worlds.]]”<br />
Line 112:
{{quote|'''''OKAY! I’m gonna explain a few things… I know it’s going really fast, but that’s only because the rest of the story is going to go really slow.'''''
Oh, fantastic. /sarcasm }}
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Even though [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] is against [[Shipping]] in most works, there are a few exceptions...
{{quote|[[My Immortal|Tara/Raven]] is the best pairing and you must ship it now.}}
** Also from [[My Immortal]]: [[No Yay|Voldemort/Draco]], after the line about Voldemort having Draco in "bondage".
** In fact, jokingly shipping two characters has become sort of a [[Running Gag]]. Many of the [[Invader Zim]] [[MST|MSTs]] contain [[Foe Yay|ZaDR]] jokes, there was at least one [[Les Yay|Chell/GLaDOS]] joke in the [[MST]] of [[It's My Life]], and in the [[It's My Life|Teen Fortress 2]] [[MST]] [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] mentioned wanting to ship [[Team Fortress 2|Sniper]]/[[Portal 2|Caroline]] because their voice actors are married.
{{quote|My OTPs are [[My Immortal|Tara/Raven]], [[Me in Invader Zim? Oh Kami|Sin/Mystie]], and [[Married to the Job|GLaDOS/testing]]. XP}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: "SIR/MADAM, I DOUBT THE VERISIMILITUDE OF YOUR..." is a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Topless Robot]].
** As is HATE HATE HATE, but [[The Half World]] actually uses that more than [[Topless Robot]] does.
** And "WELL, THIS AMAZING PLAN CAN'T POSSIBLY FAIL."
* [[Symbol Swearing]]: For a while, but then [[Tropers/Skepkitty|Skepkitty]] gave up; mainly because the [[Fanfic|FanFics]] she was [[MST|MSTing]] tended to use more language/mature content ([[My Immortal]], for example), and thus the posts were going to be [[NSFW]] anyway.
* [[This Is Sparta]]: Used when the [[Catch Phrase]] "It. Sporks. Itself." is present, and many other times as well.
* [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary]]: There are many, many references to tropes on the site.
* [[Unusual Chapter Numbers]]: The MSTs have four separate counters: Horrible Fanfiction, guest MSTs, ''[[My Immortal]]'' and ''Surviving Middle School at Aperture Science''. Hence, Skepkitty acknowledged both [http://theskepkitty.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/horrible-fanfiction-73-teen-fortress-2-a-team-fortress-2-portal-fanfic/ the 100th MST] and [http://theskepkitty.wordpress.com/2012/01/13/horrible-fanfiction-100-love-knows-no-race-part-6-an-invader-zim-fanfic/ the 100th HFF].
** RingmasterJ5's MST of Half Humans, as it's only on the book and not on the blog, doesn't get a number, and is known as "guest MST #?".
