When Dimensions Collide	comment	Two worlds exist and the physical laws or geometries of one bleed over into the other. This usually takes one of two forms: A world with overly simple rules and internal logic entered by somebody from an Earth-like world. These works are more prone to humor as the native inhabitants fail to understand or loudly disbelieve things which would be obvious to normal humans. A world which has an alien set of physical laws (or somebody from it), that then interacts with an earth-like world. Type II worlds are almost always in the horror genre. Visitors from these worlds are often either The Fair Folk or Eldritch Abominations. Although this sometimes overlaps with Alien Geometries, it is not about the alien shapes involved (although they can be a side-effect) but rather the idea that something is invading a world by sending their laws of physics first. The litmus test for being this trope is: There must be two independent worlds. Something must cross from one world to the other. The "laws" of the invading world must work in the invaded world. (For example: if a mage comes from magical world A to mundane world B, it only becomes this trope if the mage can cast magic in the mundane world where magic is normally impossible.) May happen between Layered Worlds or between worlds with a Thin Dimensional Barrier. Often causes Portal Endpoint Resemblance. See also Reality Bleed for something more gradual.

Unlike most Dark Worlds seen in the Zelda series, very little of the Twilight Realm itself is seen except when overlaid onto Hyrule.

While some of these are harmful, others are beneficial. The massive towers of Sharn, the world's largest city, for instance, can only support their own weight due to being built in a manifest zone to Syrania, the plane of air. Each plane also has an astrological "orbit" which can have effects on the world as a whole, such as resurrection magic acting strangely if the realm of the dead is too near or too far.

When Dimensions Collide / int_468bebb0	comment	Policing the Fellowship, a Discworld/The Lord of the Rings Crossover fic, has Samuel Vimes accompany the Fellowship of the Ring. Over the course of the story, the fellowship characters start acting like Discworldian archetypes of themselves (Aragorn starts acting like an Upper-Class Twit — albeit still a far more competent one than most Discworld nobility, the various nobles the group encounters become much more cynical, etc.). On the flipside, without Vimes, the Discworld becomes more like Middle-Earth, with Captain Carrot (long-lost heir to the throne, who prefers to be a policeman) manifesting the same kind of white flame on his brow that Aragorn does, and being propositioned by three elven princesses. This is somewhat downplayed, however, as the first one was bitten by Angua (Carrot's werewolf girlfriend), the second one's pointy ears washed off in the rain, and the third turned out to be Nobby Nobbs, who was "just getting into the spirit of things".

In the prehistoric-themed North America, for instance, technology does not work and groups of people devolve into small tribes, whilst in the Pulp-themed Middle-East people drift into stereotypes, their allegiances become easily changeable and good triumphs over evil. The playable characters are those rare individuals who are able to carry their own native laws of physics around with them and exercise them against others.

When Dimensions Collide / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: The setting's most notable example is the Worldwound, an enormous Hell Gate to the Abyss that swallowed most of a nation. Besides being filled with demons, the influence of numerous demon lords and the Abyss itself have twisted the surrounding land into something horrible. The remaining plants and animals are either undead or horribly mutated, the land is barren, blasted and wracked by earthquakes and geysers of filthy water, most lakes and rivers have drained into rifts to the Abyss, the sky is tinted in strange colors, snow and rain are oily and foul or replaced by insects, blood or worse, and in the most corrupted places even the sun, stars and moon don't look or move like they should. This happens in the second and fifth installments of the Reign of Winter adventure path, both times due to overlaps of the First World, the strange and chaotic world of the fairies and an alien and supernatural place even by the standards of the regular High Fantasy setting, with the material world. In The Shackled Hut, Queen Elvanna of Irrisen captures Baba Yaga's dancing hut and chains it on display in her capital's market square. The hut defends itself by forcing a breach to the First World, causing an impassably thick forest of conifers, which grow back as fast as they're cut down, to grow overnight in the square and spread for several blocks before being stopped. The result is a patch of Enchanted Forest sitting incongruously in the middle of a large city's merchant district, filled with a mix of stranded locals and of First World beasts and natives that found themselves dragged into the material world alongside the forest. Later, Rasputin the Mad Monk combines magic and Nikola Tesla's technology to bridge the two worlds and take over the Thrice-Tenth Kingdom, Baba Yaga's First World domain. The machinery used to breach the fabric of reality and the overlap with the First World severely affect the area around the Siberian monastery where Rasputin is hiding — the landscape becomes a fusion of those of Earth and the First World, and the monastery itself fluctuates between its actual ruined state and a beautiful, lighted and restored version of itself as the worlds overlap and move apart. Meanwhile, the arcane energies washing across the land have animated trees and clouds of mustard gas to malevolent life and allowed slain Cossacks to rise as undead dullahans — things normally quite impossible in magic-poor Earth.

Some blots have a second layer accessed through invisible portals, which is Bigger on the Inside and far more heavily corrupted. Eberron has a milder example in the form of manifest zones, where traits from another plane impose themselves on the material world. While some of these are harmful, others are beneficial.

London becomes known as the Great Kingdom, ruled by the gods the Great Intelligence (Yog-Sothoth, of the Pre-Universe), Saraquazel (of the Post-Universe)... and Lady TARDIS (of... guess where). Notably, none of the three planned this, and only the Great Intelligence is at all pleased with the results.

In "You Can't Teach an Old Demon New Tricks", after travelling to a demonic dimension through a magician's cabinet (and finding dozens of beautiful assistants and doves), the Ghostbusters meet a demon obsessed with becoming a magician.

The people of both worlds build an ark—Origin—that would record the lives and data of the worlds and their people in order to reboot them after the collision annihilates both worlds. However, Z, the embodiment of humanity's anxiety over Origin's success, hijacked Origin, froze both worlds mid-collision, and created Aionios as an "endless now" where no one has to worry about the future. The protagonists' goal is to defeat Z and get Origin running again, at the cost of Aionios and the new life that spawned there. The ending as well as the prequel DLC Future Redeemed shows that Origin succeeds, and the worlds eventually merge properly without destroying each other.

When Dimensions Collide / int_a825da3e	comment	Magic: The Gathering: In the Invasion storyline, the Phyrexians invaded Dominaria by merging it with an already-conquered plane called Rath. Dominaria was warped to incorporate locations and inhabitants from Rath (including the Phyrexian army), sometimes warping individual creatures or structures into hybrids combining both planes and sometimes simply dumping creatures and entire geographical features from Rath into Dominaria, such as the Skyshroud (an expansive jungle floating like a raft over the sea) getting plopped in the middle of the frozen north. The "Shards of Alara" block is one long example of this. Ages ago, an unknown disaster split the plane of Alara into five subplanes. Each "shard" had access to only three of the five colors of magic (each shard having one central color and its two allies), and lacked the two other colors and their associated forms of thought and behavior. Over the ages, the shards were shaped by the local limits on magic, developing into five profoundly different realms. When the shards began to merge back together, not only did the physical terrain of each shard begin to emerge in the others, but each shard had to deal with the return of colors of magic that it had not had to deal with for millennia. The arrival of philosophies and ideas people had previously found literally inconceivable shook each shard's specialized society to the core. Bant, the White shard, was an orderly, pastoral Arcadia of rigidly structured traditionalist societies, selfless heroism and little in the way of cultural change and flexibility. With the Conflux, Bant's rigid societies found themselves exposed to alien ideas like "treachery", "chaos" and "self-interest", while creatures, beasts and monsters from the other shards invaded the peaceful fields of Bant. In the end, this proved too much for Bant's people to adapt to, and most of the shard's civilizations collapsed under the strain. Esper, the Blue shard, was a City Planet whose inhabitants lived for constant progress and self-improvement, heavily augmented their bodies with metal, lived under a strict hegemony and had little use for emotion. The Conflux flooded Esper's hegemonic society with chaos and emotions the Esperites didn't know how to deal with — and the constant dragon attacks did little to help. Grixis, the Black shard, was a hellish wasteland where demons and necromancers ruled over a landscape of corpses and bones. It is probably the only shard that could be said to have benefited from the Conflux — the influx of Green and White mana brought life to the wastelands, while the demons and undead swarmed into the other shards to prey on their abundant and unprepared native life. Jund, the Red shard, was a savage, lawless Death World of dragon-ruled volcanic peaks rising above swamps and jungles full of predators and barbarians. When Blue and White mana began to enter it, the aggressiveness and natural instincts of many of its inhabitants began to simply fade away. Combined with the dragons that ruled the shard migrating away to seek new prey and targets in the rest of the world, this caused the collapse of much Jund's food chain and societies. Naya, the Green shard, was a vast jungle of towering trees home to human, elf and Cat Folk tribes and an endless array of creatures, all ruled by hill-sized beasts called gargantuans. While the gargantuans were able to keep most invading creatures out, the alien magic and mindsets still entered, and the Nayan jungles became infested with undeath and demonic cults. Kaldheim is a plane composed of many distinct realms, which are normally separate from one another and inhabited by very different species and societies. However, these realms are constantly orbiting around the World Tree, and sometimes overlap. These events, known as Doomskars, are very violent and dangerous and cause devastating earthquakes and other tectonic disasters in the affected realms. The large number of rifts created by them also leads the two realms' races to spill into each other's domains, inevitably causing war.

In each chapter, the main characters you play as are all in the same school, but a different rendition of it, with events taking place before or after each other that seep into the others' dimensions. Best example is how Ayumi leaves candles for others that act as a Save Point after she and Yoshiki look for Seiko when she screams... yet when you play as Naomi and Seiko in Chapter 1, the candles were already there.

Its magical field is slowly expanding to cover the planet. The field purifies any air, soil, water, plant life, and so on within. Unfortunately, the magic is fatal to humans and the expansion is beyond the power of the Princesses to stop. A special potion is devised to transform humans into ponies, changing their bodies while preserving their minds and souls, to let them survive. This is what happens at the eponymous bureaus. In spite of technological advances, Earth is presented as an Earth That Used to Be Better, with deliberate implication by the author that some event between the present day and the fic's time left a lingering effect that causes much of humanity to essentially act smoozed. Ponification undoes this, often causing the transformed to feel very chipper.

When Dimensions Collide / int_bdb0a080	comment	Last Action Hero is a quasi-example. On the one hand, when an action hero crosses over from the world of movies into the real world, he nearly dies from a gunshot he'd normally shrug off as Just a Flesh Wound; similarly, a villain who makes the same leap is delighted to discover that in the real world the bad guy winning is actually possible. However, when Death crosses over into reality from the movie world, he's still able to kill people just by touching them. We also see that, when the movie hero shoots the movie villain in his cybernetic eye, it causes a ridiculously huge explosion, even when they're both in the real world. It could be said to be somewhat consistent since only supernatural or futuristic elements kept their original properties.

When Dimensions Collide / int_c68ba5f1	comment	Flatland: A. Square is visited by a sphere from the mysterious dimension of "up" and interacts with the strange world of the third dimension. A sphere manifests as a circle that grows and shrinks, able to bypass all flatlander doors and walls and even touch "inside" a flatlander. The protagonist eventually learns to think multi-dimensionally and is considered insane by most. What makes it this trope is subtle, when taken from one dimension to another (for example when he is in the 3-D world), the normally 2-dimensional A Square is able to perceive higher and lower dimensions. (So in the 3-D world he can see the interior of 2-D people.)

When Dimensions Collide / int_cfd860dd	comment	Nasuverse: Background material speaks of Type Mercury, the avatar of Planet Mercury, which crash landed in a South American rainforest in 5000 BC after answering Gaia's call prematurelynote It wasn't actually supposed to come until the Earth dies of pollution, at which point it is to wake up and exterminate humanity in revenge. The other Types arrive on schedule.. Mercury's crash site has since transformed into a "Crystal Valley" filled with beautiful yet horrifying crystal spires. This is a replication of planet Mercury's environment, and Type Mercury's mere presence has turned that patch of Earth into a patch of Mercury. It is said that its full force is activated by Type Mercury's movement, which means wherever it goes, it will leave a trail of Mercurian crystal.

However, when the Balance between them begins to falter in the beginning of the game, weird stuff begins to happen in both worlds, such as a TV show about rainforests transporting the viewers into an actual rainforest, or a handheld calculator trapping a mage tampering with it inside.

When Dimensions Collide / int_da92c130	comment	Erfworld: The world's rules reflect those of a traditional turn-based tabletop game. For example, terrain is divided into hexes and units can only move a certain number of spaces each turn. The protagonist is from Earth. He experiments with the physical laws of the world in an effort to better understand the rules of the game and attempts to cheat with them (even without cheating, mastering the system makes him a tactical genius). He also has several interesting and unique properties that are a hold-over from reality (such as a lack of visible stats, blood, and the ability to get distracted and forget direct orders).

Throughout the film, the protagonists' actions impact the world around them and colours and concepts from the real world (like fire, sex and rain) start to appear as a result.

When Dimensions Collide / int_e1c2dccd	comment	In The Shackled Hut, Queen Elvanna of Irrisen captures Baba Yaga's dancing hut and chains it on display in her capital's market square. The hut defends itself by forcing a breach to the First World, causing an impassably thick forest of conifers, which grow back as fast as they're cut down, to grow overnight in the square and spread for several blocks before being stopped. The result is a patch of Enchanted Forest sitting incongruously in the middle of a large city's merchant district, filled with a mix of stranded locals and of First World beasts and natives that found themselves dragged into the material world alongside the forest.

When Dimensions Collide / int_f980cee9	comment	Rod Allbright Alien Adventures: The second book in the series reveals that BKR and Smorkus Flinders were working on this, intending to create a permanent door between Dimension X (home of Reality Quakes, which periodically cause random and usually temporary shifts in reality, though the effects are sometimes permanent) and Dimension Q (where Earth exists) that would let the Reality Quakes leak over and eventually fuse them into one dimension "where reality can shift like sand" (BKR's motivation is pure nastiness, while Smorkus Flinders, who was once a normal being until a Reality Quake permanently transformed him, is doing so as a means of lashing out at the world in retaliation). However, after Smorkus Flinders is taken into captivity and BKR subsequently escapes from custody, the latter decides to focus on one of his other, older plans instead.

The ultimate plan of the Big Bad Bill Cipher is to merge this Nightmare Realm with the physical world in order to turn it into a nightmarish World of Chaos for him and the rest of the Dream Demons to invade and rule as their personal playground. After Bill successfully unleashes Weirdmageddon upon Gravity Falls in the finale, Dipper must find and rally his allies to fight back and liberate the town before Bill can spread his influence throughout the entire universe.
