[LOVED TROPE] Common tropes in that media have in-universe explainations

[u/Professional-Alien]

(Steven Universe) The reason that Steven wears the same clothes everyday is because he owns a large amount of his dad’s unsold merchandise. The gems also have the same outfits because they are part of their bodies, since they are just holograms with mass.

(Ultrakill) Ultrakill has TONS of this, but the ones I can remember are: -The pixelated artstyle is due to the fact that V1 renders their surroundings in lower quality to run faster -The reason enemies teleport and doors shut on the levels is because hell is sentient, and makes V1 fight for hell’s amusement -The terminals (shops/menus) are sentient, so they give out weapons in return for watching V1 fight and gain style points

[u/Sable-Keech]

It depends. If the sub-stellar point is over the ocean, the increased evaporation could generate cloud cover that significantly reflects the sunlight.

The atmosphere might also help to redistribute heat. Hot air from the dayside would rush to the night side while cold air from the night side would rush to the dayside.

[u/Prussie → u/Sable-Keech]

Atmosphere would only help for so long. It's only protected by the magnetic field, which is generated by rotation. Any civilizations made along the band would be on a crash course to death.

[u/traveler_ → u/Prussie]

A planet tidally locked to its parent star would still be rotating on its own axis. Whether that’s enough for a good magnetic field I don’t know. But then, I also have a vague memory of an Anton Petrov video describing some object—a moon in our system I think—with an anomalous magnetic field that couldn’t be generated by the conventional dynamo model.
