* CurbStompBattle: The United Galaxies are superior in both technology and experience to the Alternian Empire, so if they actually went to war, they'd crush the trolls easily. However, they want the trolls to join them of their own free will, and there's a problem with that- namely, the fact that the Condesce would never willingly join or concede defeat, so if she at any point decides that she's cornered with no way out, she'd likely trigger the Vast Glub, which would wipe out the majority of trollkind and effectively doom the race to extinction.



** Sure, pirates will happily make a buck wherever and whenever they can, but most of them aren't too keen on selling children as sex slaves.



* RealityEnsues:
** After the events of ''The Great Escape'', Karkat spends the first part of ''Stillness of Hours'' mentally and emotionally wrecked from the experience.

* StupidEvil: The Condesce. According to both canon and WordOfGod, she views the Coalition as a bunch of lying, sneaky cheaters who she hasn't beaten yet only because her troops and officers aren't giving their all, and has refused to acknowledge for nearly a hundred sweeps that A, the Coalition has vastly superior technology, and B, they're offering asylum to any troll who wants it with zero repercussions, which is why she's not just losing, she's also haemorrhaging troops. She also hasn't yet realised that their high level of technology means that the only reason the Coalition haven't crushed her like a bug yet is because they don't actually want to, not because they can't.


Added DiffLines:

* WrongGenreSavvy: According to WordOfGod, when the beta kids had their adventure, John thought they were in a fun kids-going-on-adventures story, but it actually turned out to be more along the lines of ''Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu''.

They're replaced with new (biological) ones that work perfectly, but because his brain remembers them getting blown off, once he regains consciousness, he has a lot of trouble using his arms even though there's nothing wrong with them.]]
