Literature / A Girl Who Brought Down the World

Go To

In the year of 2009, Christine Weston Chandler, as creator of the Webcomic Sonichu, had a significant hatedom, and you would rarely meet somebody who was trying to help her or change her behavior. One of those rare people was Vivian Gee, who was trying to help Christine for a very long time... before giving up. note  One of her attempts to make Christine realize how bad and harmful her behavior is was writing a micro-novel and giving it to her. A Girl Who Brought Down the World was that novel.

The story focuses on Kid and her older sister, Vivian, as well as other people living in a world ruled by President Christopher Winnfield Vega. Almost all the cast is made from poorly-masked copies of people who somehow get in a conflict with Christine.

You can read it on the author's DeviantArt account.

Please remember this is a page only about said webnovel. Anything involving Christine Weston Chandler and things she did that aren't necessary to understand the context behind the story's plot points doesn't belong here and will be deleted.


This story provides examples of:

  • Ancient Conspiracy: A not-exactly-ancient conspiracy made by China — they made the United States weak using inside agents, and then made Christopher president to watch how he destroys the world.
  • Bad Santa: Vivi tells Kid that Christopher is one because she thinks she's too young to know the truth.
  • Big Bad: Christopher Winnfield Vega, president of America. Until Hendrix is revealed.
  • Bottomless Magazines: Lampshaded with the EZ Gun.
    "My god, that gun is amazing!" exclaims the principal, "You didn't even have to reload!"
    "It's just that easy," boasts Mays.
  • The Caligula: Christopher nukes entire countries for trivial reasons.
  • Can't Take Criticism: Christopher's reaction to any criticism of his actions is to throw a fit and seek revenge against the person making the criticism.
  • Captain Ersatz: As the story involves multiple Ersatzes of people who somehow wronged Christine, we'll just list the most important ones with one-sentence descriptions, for context's sale.
    • Christopher Winnfield Vega — Christine Weston Chandler, creator of Sonichu.
    • Melanie — Megan Schroeder, a close friend of Christine before her actions drove Schroeder away.
    • Unnamed magician — Wes Iseli, a man Christine was jealous of a long time ago.
    • Eva G. Warren — Mary Lee Walsh, an employee at Christine’s college whom Christine believed was conspiring against her.
    • Jones Brimley — Cole Smithey, Christine's half-brother.
    • Clyde — Clyde Cash, who attempted to help Christine before becoming her most active troll.
    • Hendrix — the trolls' Hive Mind.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: Kid has shades of it. Of course, she's just...well, a kid.
    • And Christopher, who makes his characters part of his cabinet... and in a scene are revealed to be merely drawings.
  • Cosmic Retcon: After Christopher destroyed the world, God remade the timeline to one where he never rises to power and ends up dying in a mental institution.
  • Crapsack World: This is a world where a man like Christopher can become the president...and everything's ruled by Internet trolls. Even God admitted this world was His failure.
  • Deconstruction: Of Sonichu. It takes the premise of Christine's comics-a world where she's the highest authority and can do anything she wants-and shows how her real-life emotional issues would cause it to go wrong.
  • Digital Piracy Is Evil: Why Christopher nuked Taiwan.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Christopher nuked Taiwan for supporting piracy, South Korea for supporting Taiwan, and Poland for stealing jobs from Britain. He tried to nuke Brazil after their president called him on his behavior, but nuked Canada instead.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: The janitor turns out to be manipulating Christopher for his own ends.
  • Dying Alone: Christopher in the rewritten timeline.
  • For the Evulz: Hendrix and his organization's main motivation.
  • Happily Married: Vivian and Clyde in the rewritten timeline. This is a little disturbing when you realize that their "public" counterparts are cousins, and that both are in Real Life separate characters played by the same troll.
  • Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Christopher says this so much it might make one think he’s Armoured Closet Gay.
  • Heteronormative Crusader: Christopher actively tries to brainwash people into being straight. This involves a ritual wherein two opposite-sex children are put into a flooding room that will only stop when the male deposits semen into a cup.
  • Hurricane of Euphemisms: Lampshaded.
    "You just do it for the hanky-panky, the horizontal tango, hitting the hay, the wango tango, the bonus round of love, rocking the room, tasting the heavens, you know."
    "Jesus, Christopher. You really have no experience at all with any type of relationship with any woman, do you? I mean, no one uses those euphemisms, I haven’t even heard of half of those."
  • Jerkass God: God himself, who created Christopher as a drunken joke. Even so, it was nice of him to rewrite the timeline so none of this ever happened.
  • Knight Templar: Christopher crusades against gays, blacks, "terrorists", and other "enemies to the country."
  • Logic Bomb: When Christopher is trying to have sex with Vivian, she agrees, but only if it will be a threesome with another man. This gets the deeply homophobic Christopher so confused, he leaves the room.
  • Lonely Funeral: Christopher's, in the rewritten timeline. Nobody attends it.
  • Man Behind the Man: Hendrix, Christopher's janitor.
  • Noodle Incident: If you don't know much about Christine, Melanie's reason for leaving Christopher counts as this.
