Line #66 Fanfic/CalvinAtCamp


1	''Calvin at Camp'' is a crossover series by author Blue Paratroopa, featuring the characters from ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes,'' ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}},'' ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot,'' and ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' all going to a daycamp (located on a local college campus) together. During his many misadventures, Calvin ends up opening up a warp portal to the Mushroom Kingdom through some "Choose Your Own Adventure" ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' books. He quickly makes an enemy of Bowser Koopa, who is soon bent on destroying the camp, after the kids somehow manage to defeat him. After each defeat, his grudge grows a little bit bigger.

3	There is a slight "blasphemy" in the series, which is that ''a few'' other characters can "see" Hobbes as a real tiger: Jason, Marcus, Ed, Eddy, Double D, and Snoopy. This was done to make the stories flow a little bit more easily. Most of the characters make sense as to why they can see Hobbes, though Double D and Eddy require some WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief. Conversely, Hobbes is the only character besides Woodstock who can hear Snoopy "talk".

5	The series sends the characters on original adventures and also parodies various Disney films from time to time. So far, there are nearly forty "episodes." These all range in quality, and a few of them the author views as being [[OldShame less than fantastic]].

9	!!Tropes featured in this series:
10
11	%%* AdultsAreUseless: When they're [[ThereAreNoAdults around]], at least.
12	%%* AffectionateParody: Almost every movie parody has been done this way.
13	* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: The Eds fall head-over-heels in love in the episode "A Stalker's Life."
14	* AllJustADream: Happens in the Series/{{Lost}} parody, though the audience knows this the whole time, so it isn't a surprise.
15	* AngryMobSong: "Serves Them Right," which is a parody of "[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast The Mob Song]]."
16	%%* AnimateInanimateObject: The Volleyball of Terror.
17	* AwesomeButImpractical: Calvin, Jason, and Marcus threaten Kevin with medieval weapons in "Water Week," but find out the hard way that although the weapons look cool, they weigh too much to be lifted off of the ground.
18	* BatmanGambit: Eugene's plan in Jason Fox TheMusical is to sit back and watch the kids tear each other apart after he's set up a scenario where they would drive each other insane.
19	%%* BeigeProse: Sometimes.
20	%%* BigBad: Bowser Koopa
21	* BoundAndGagged: Happens to the Kankers and later to Charlie Brown, Jason, and Marcus in "A Stalker's Life."
22	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens occasionally, especially when [[Franchise/TheHauntedMansion the Hitchhiking Ghosts]] appear.
23	%%* ChekhovsGunman: Sally in "Champion Charlie Brown". Even Calvin [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.
24	%%* ContinuityNod
25	%%* {{Crossover}}
26	* CrowdSong: Every now and then, the kids enjoy bursting into song.
27	* ADayInTheLimelight: Larry Koopa stars in "The New Kid".
28	* DemonicPossession: Happens to a slew of ghosts and the Eds (with a hint of PeoplePuppets thrown in) in "Ghostmaster".
29	%%* DodgeballIsHell: The subject of the second episode.
30	* DoubleAgent: Calvin in "The Pool Toys War." It doesn't work very well.
31	* DoubleTake: Calvin and Hobbes do one in "Ghostmaster" when the HeadlessHorseman charges at them.
32	* DwindlingParty: Happens to the kids in "Hobbes of the Wild."
33	* EasilyForgiven: Kevin gets off pretty easy at the end of "Water Week." Granted, he ''did'' get the kids out of a tight spot, but still...
34	* EekAMouse: Jimmy reacts this way in "Bringing Down the Mouse".
35	* ElectrifiedBathtub: This happens to Calvin in "Ghostmaster", though in this case, it's a pool.
36	* {{Flashback}}: A few flashbacks in the Series/{{Lost}} parody show the kids doing some...pretty terrible things. Thankfully, it's AllJustADream.
37	* FoodFight: The Eds attack Kevin with ice cream in "Water Week."
38	* FoundFootageFilms: Spoofed with "Supersize Ed," which is also a parody of ''Film/SuperSizeMe''.
39	* HellHotel: More or less happens in "The Thing in the Dorm," except it's a dorm, not a hotel. Eddy does use it like a hotel, though.
40	* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: A character referred to as "The Bear" reveals that it's his real name at one point, complete with the "The."
41	* ImagineSpot: Calvin has ''three'' in "Champion Charlie Brown," each one about a different ego.
42	* IsThisThingStillOn: Happens to Eddy early on in "Legends of the Hidden Campus." Luckily for him, no one seems to notice.
43	* LateToTheTragedy: Calvin and the others experience a minor example of this in "The Volleyball of Terror," when they find the trail of destruction that the ball has left.
44	* ManipulativeBastard: Lucy, Bowser, and especially Eugene have shades of this.
45	* MusicalEpisode: While most episodes feature a musical number, the movie parodies tend to be full-out musical episodes.
46	* MusicalisInterruptus: Marcus's ballad in "Jason Fox TheMusical" is cut off by Marcus's narration, as he is embarrassed in retrospect.
47	* NothingIsScarier: This idea is explored in "The Mad Punter" and to a lesser degree in "The Thing in the Dorm," the latter crossing over with OrWasItADream
48	* ObstacleExposition: Eddy has one in "Legends of the Hidden Campus," which takes the one from ''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple'' up to eleven, since Eddy fills it with insane FakeDifficulty.
49	* OriginalCharacter: Only two--The Bear and the Volleyball of Terror.
50	* PaperThinDisguise: Larry Koopa's disguise in "The New Kid" consists of a Mickey Mouse hat. No one recognizes him.
51	* RoswellThatEndsWell: In "The New Kid," Jason and Marcus accuse a disguised Larry of being an alien from Roswell.
52	* ScaryStingingSwarm: Calvin is chased away by a swarm of bees at the end of "The Pool Toys War".
53	* ShoutOut:
54	** The MouseTrap sequence in "Bringing Down the Mouse" is an homage to ''Film/MouseHunt''.
55	** In "Champion Charlie Brown", Lucy quotes a line from ''Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown''.
56	* ShowdownAtHighNoon: Happens at the end of the "Dodgeball" episode.
57	* SlippingAMickey: In the Series/{{Lost}} parody, Jason and Marcus drug Sarah with a coconut milk smoothie.
58	* SmugSnake: Eugene.
59	* StatusQuoIsGod: The parodies of ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' and ''Theatre/ByeByeBirdie'' had whole songs about it at the end!
60	* SuperpoweredAlterEgo: Calvin's three alter egos return, along with a couple new ones. Of course, most of it is all in his mind...[[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane some of the time]].
61	%%** Captain Melon Head and Professor Scam also appear.
62	* ThereAreNoAdults: Keeping true to the theme of ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}},'' and ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''', there are ''rarely'' any adults around.
63	%%* TrainingMontage: The Bear adores these.
64	* TrollFic: [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3287834/1/The_Calvin_at_Camp_Christmas_Carol The Calvin at Camp Christmas Carol]]. Crosses over with YetAnotherChristmasCarol and TakeThat.
65	* TheUnseen: The counselors, who are described vaguely, and only seem to speak to Kevin.
66	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: In one episode, Bowser and Gannondorf trap Calvin and Hobbes in VideoGame/TheSims and try to use this to kill them.
67	%%* VillainSong: Bowser, Eugue, Darkling, and the Kankers have gotten a few.
68	* VillainRecruitmentSong: Eddy's parody of "Pick a Pocket Or Two," sung to Jason and Marcus.
69	* VillainTeamUp: PlayedWith in "A Stalker's Life." The kids are pitted against the Volleyball of Terror, Eugene, and the Kankers all at once, but the villains just get in the way of each other.
70	* WalkThePlank: Jason and Marcus try to do this to Mr. Bun in the Pilot episode.
71	%%* WelcomeEpisode: The {{Pilot}}
72	%%* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "Jason Fox: TheMusical".
73	* WrittenInAbsence: Hobbes is gone for most of "Bringing Down the Mouse." Most likely, this was done to avoid a WhyDontYouJustShootHim PlotHole, as Hobbes should be able to catch a mouse easily.
74	%%* ZanyScheme: From time to time.
