I take your Antigone and add my old high school's Romeo and Juliet. There were friars and the black plague...mixed in with business men and gangsters armed with switchblades. Not to mention that the "Prince" was a policewoman who had a revolver in her purse.

This Troper is planning a fantasy fanfic where a princess is kidnapped and three anime characters and one of my OCs must save her. Seems normal, right? Wrong. My OC is a punk rocker who plays the electric guitar, {{Fall Out Boy}} sngs will be sung, there will be modern stores, a character will be wearing modern cheongasms, The Abridged Series}} Children's Card Games (on motorcycles) will be played, chracters from anime such as {{Baccano}} and {{Eureka Seven}} may appear, refrences to anime will be made, stuff from Hot Topic (such as bondage pants, skinny jeans, and band T-shirts) will be worn by my OC, {{Haruhi Suzumiya}} is the princess, and other anachronisms will be seen. This is intentional, since it'll parody fantasy novels. Did I mention that it may take place in an alternate version of the U.S.A.?

This troper saw a girl in a supposed '50s girl costume the Friday before Halloween. The top was basically a halter top with a hole in the middle of it to show off her cleavege. Halter tops weren't even invented until the '70s! Besides that, a top like that would likely get you branded as a hooker in the actual '50s! *headdesk*

ThePriceIsRight has a video game on {{Facebook}}, and it's recently gone into a 1970s edition, meaning all the prizes and prices are taken from shows in the 1970s. Fine. Except when they take prizes from the 1980s. And they use the Big Wheel that debuted in 2008. *headdesk* *headdesk*
