87!!Tropes for the ''Madgie, what did you do?'' Series:
88%%* AfterTheEnd: When Bunny and Madgie return to the future
89* AnyoneCanDie: Death does not discriminate, seeing as the titular Madgie has died more than once during the second story in the series
90%%* BadFuture: Played with to a certain degree. Usually it is and, sometimes, it kinda is.
91* BiblicalMotifs: More so in the ''Turning the Hands of Time'' arc, where Doki is heard reciting bible verses.
92%%* BloodFromTheMouth: Depending on the story and usually the cause is some sort of illness.
93%%* BreakTheCutie: Oh yeah
94* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: ''Madgie, what did you do? VI: Butterfly''. In general, butterflies do show up up often.
95* ChildByRape: In the 24th ''Madgie, what did you do?'' story, we have this happen more or less to Doki as she becomes pregnant but doesn't give birth, making that a "Pregnant by Rape".
96* ChildProdigy: Madgie, having made it possible to go back in time.
97%%* ChildrenAreInnocent: Played with and Zigzagged.
98* ChildrenForcedToKill:
99** The subject matter of ''Madgie, what did you do? XIX: Mercenary'' and, as the description put it, no one is exempt from fighting, even the youngest must fight, as in if they can hold a weapon and know what it is, they can fight.
100** One a side note, it's also been pointed out that Bunny was surprised that Doki (the one leading this group) was affectionate and maternal towards them and that they mean a lot to her, thus if she didn't have to, she wouldn't be putting them up to it but she has no choice and they have no choice either, as per the lines:
101--->''In whatever war that is going on, I was surprised that Doki was very affectionate with them and it occurred to me that, due to what was going on, she didn't want to put them up to killing as so to defend their turf or themselves but it was not like she could take them anywhere else or hide them for very long. As it seemed in the case of Violetta, who was minus a leg, they would have to be damaged in sort of way if they were to be out of duty. Doki's affection towards them proved what no one thought, it proved that they were not expendable weapons and, that to her, they were precious and that, if she didn't have to, she wouldn't be making them do what they are doing.''
102* ChildSoldiers: The Tragic Variant. In ''Madgie, what did you? XIX'', the children aren't given much of a choice in whether or not they want to but it is put that they have to fight. That, and their guardians, the ones that lead them, have would't put them up to it if they didn't have to.
103* DeadAllAlong:
104** In ''Requiem II'', this is most prominent, as it is implied that she may have died a little while before then and that they weren't aware that she's died, with life continuing as somewhat usual. This is evident in that Toki is [[BloodFromTheMouth bleeding from the mouth]] and said bleeding should have killed her or should have stopped.
105** In ''Radioactive Rain'', it is implied Toki may have committed suicide, if not died of radiation sickness, not too long before Bunny arrives back to the BadFuture. The fact that, despite having Bunny having seen her, Doki doesn't speak of her and her room is boarded up.
106%%* DeadHandShot: Some of the preview images have Madgie's and, at one point, Antoinette's hand.
107%%* DiseaseBleach: Sometimes.
108%%* DrivenToSuicide: The titular Madgie and, sometimes, Toki
109%%* DrowningMySorrows: Doki in ''Madgie, what did you do? V''
110%%* EndlessWinter: Happens to a fair amount.
111%%* EmpathyDollShot: Some of the preview images
112* EpisodeZeroTheBeginning: ''Madgie, what did you do? 0: Beginning, where it all began''
113* EverybodysDeadDave: In ''Madgie, what did you do? XLVI: I have outlived you all and, still, I remain trapped in a dying world, dying along with it'', we have Doki who is all alone and everyone she and Bunny knew is dead and she, having a long lifespan, has spent 1,000 years alone.
114* FacialHorror: Unless Akai draws a picture of it as a preview image, it is usually described, but there is an image of Toki with a mass of tumors on her face. It's unsettling, to say the least.
115* FlowerMotifs:
116** More often than not, it comes in the form of lilies, the which typically symbolizes or are associated innocence and death.
117** The [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/art/Purpura-and-Lycoris-flowers-548206140 preview image]] for the 56th story has Doki standing amongst lycoris flowers, the which are often associated with death (said flowers being planted in and around graveyards), at the same time, they are also associated with not seeing someone again or lost memories.
118* ForegoneConclusion: Usually, we know that someone is going to die by the title, an example of which would be ''Requiem'' and ''Requiem II''.
119* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: While its not about killing Hitler, it does touch upon how time travelling to past can be destructive, as almost each and every last time Madgie and Bunny traveled to the past, the future (or, rather, their present) was worst than what it was, although, ''how'' worst varied but it wasn't as should be.
120* ImprobableInfantSurvival: Played with and more often than not averted in Madgie's case
121* LastRequest: Toki's was for Bunny to say "hello to the sunshine" for her, during the events of ''Bullets and Sunshine''
122* MatureAnimalStory: This is a series featuring anthros and a lot of the subject matter here and there are not for a younger audience.
123* MadOracle: Toki, being in she mentally ill but otherwise says things that are true. However, she is usually on medicine to make her coherent.
124* MercyKill: Occurs at least twice.
125** Once, in ''"It looked like falling snow..."'', Toki mentions having to euthanize a badly burned Stinky (Bunny's cat)
126** The second occurred in ''Broken Wings'', with Doki and a badly burned Madgie, however, the latter is more subtle as it isn't outright stated but she was mentioned to have become Madgie's "angel of mercy", this being one of the things she did in which she wasn't proud.
127* NoodleIncident: What the hell does Madgie do in the past that causes something so catastrophic in the future?! Well, we never find out, even when some parts are narrated from Madgie's POV. Justified, though, WordOfGod stated she wanted the readers to play with their imagination on it.
128** In ''Broken Wings'', Doki was mentioned to have done things in which she wasn't proud, although what they were wasn't made too clear.
129* NumberedSequels: Yes, with the sequels being titled in accordance to their order, with the exception of the finale, which is titled as such.
130* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In some stories we have this with Doki, who is normally kind, gentle, and sweet.
131** In ''Turning the Hands of Time, Part I'', Bunny mentions this with Jinx and, his brother, Spin, noting that if the former was around then the latter wouldn't be far behind, so, when he isn't, this causes her to assume the worst. In that vein, the fact that Toki's house is quite populated but, in that story, she finds out only Jinx and Doki remain.
132* RapeAsDrama: In ''Revelation'', this has happened to Doki and she was forced into prostitution afterward.
133%%* ShoutOut: Story 40 has a shoutout to ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''
134* SnowMeansDeath: Quite often this is used. The most prominent uses of this trope would be ''Nuclear Snow'', ''Bloodied Snow Angel'' ''The Winter's Blood Red Sky'', ''Snow Angel'' and "It looked like falling snow...".
135* TheSpeechless: Toki was forced to be this in XXXI, with her vocal cords removed for reasons implied to be because she knew (or had a clue) of a genetically engineered biological weapon.
136* StarsAreSouls: In ''Madgie, what did you do? LII: Can I die happy, now?'', Doki mentioned Madgie amongst the stars.
137* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Madgie is this or, occasionally, some of the stories has it where her fate is ambiguous but in most of them has it that she dies, often in horrible ways, ever since the second story to the rest. She gets better once time is reversed back to the way it was.
138* TitleDrop: Story 53 get it's title from Doki describing the nuclear ash as looking like snow.
139* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: The fact in these stories, left and right from the sequel onward, there are children killing themselves, something that, otherwise, they really wouldn't have considered.
140* TruthInTelevision: Some of the material, from dying of radiation sickness in one story to mental illness in another, are actually based on real things. For example in ''"It looked like falling snow...."'', it was mentioned the heat from the nuke burned the floral pattern of Doki's dress into her skin, something that occurred during the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (a reference [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Hiroshima-nagasaki-atomic-bomb-ww2-incredible-pictures-history-images-photos-001.jpeg]]).
141* TheVirus: ''Blood Rains'', ''Shattered Plague'', and ''Virus'' have some sort of illness spreading around.
142* WorldWarThree: Not necessarily three, but there are an awful lot of nuclear wars.
