Line 22:
** Kria hands down, as she demonstrates [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1043.php here] and [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_961.php here.] And she outdoes herself [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_945.php here.]
** And we also have Moira who reminds Jyrras [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_340.php that he will always be her baby boy.]
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Mink and Fluffy. Whether Mink's a male or a female without [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]] has yet to be confirmed, thanks to the use of [[Gender Neutral Writing]], and in a Reader Mail, Amber admitted that not even she knows what gender Fluffy's supposed to be. And apparently, Mink's gender [http://missmab.com/Comics/fc3.jpg won't be revealed in the foreseeable future]. Especially because [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1240.php not even Mink hirself knows].
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Abel
* [[Amoral Attorney]]: Jyrras's mother, Moira Gianna. Kria not only recognizes her, but admits being [[Always a Bigger Fish|only second most evil]] next to her. She even causes Kria to have a [[Even Evil Has Standards]] moment.
* [[And Then John Was a Zombie]]: {{spoiler|Dan's reaction when he discovers [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_392.php that he's become what he used to hunt as an adventurer.] }}
* [[Anti -Magic]]: Fa'Lina recommends two methods for avoiding mind reading from cubi telepathy: either [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Cubi02.php memorize mind-numbingly dull textbooks] or [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_565.php make yourself seem like an unappealing target.]
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Wildy has one set up for a certain age and her father has so far found five possible candidate husbands which she finds acceptable. When Dan points out how weird this sounds to him, she replies that ''not'' having your marriage arranged sounds weird, backwards and impractical to her.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Kria's hobbies are "chaos, destruction, hiking" while Regina's are "mayhem, murder, jewelery-making".
* [[Art Evolution]]: Just look at the first comic and the last comic- you could never tell they were the same artist!
** Lampshaded after {{spoiler|Dan }} has become an adult cubi: he is shown a [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_492.php photo album] picture of an old strip to demonstrate that yes, his powers have made him sexier.
Line 37:
* [[Author Guest Spot]]
* [[Author Phobia]]: Amber is frightened by horses, and the main villain is a demonic black horse. One of the other scary characters (Kria) appears to be some sort of zebra with wings. I wouldn't say it's much of a stretch to assume that this is because of Amber's fear of equines.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Wildy actually cares about Dan; [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1158.php they're even hugging].
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Turns out Dan's mother {{spoiler|is a Succubus, and the inherited powers have started to kick in.}}
* [[Badass Boast]]
Line 57:
* [[Big No]]: Little Abel no likey [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Abel_25.php homework]. Also counts as a [[Poke the Poodle]] moment for Kria.
* [[Big Red Button]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_362.php Subverted.]
* [[Big Screwed -Up Family]]: Poor Lorenda.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Debatable whether this was intentional, but... ''Incubus'' literally means "I lie on top," ''Succubus'', "I lie beneath." And [[Horny Devils|Cubi]] are [[Fantastic Racism|generally considered]] to be tricksters...
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]
Line 113:
* [[Correspondence Course]]
* [[Costume Test Montage]]: Dan's, courtesy of Abel, starts [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_512.php here].
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: While fuzzy, comedic and with pastel colors (see image above), the world is flat out one of the most brutal, depressive, unfair settings you will ever find. 9/10 of the [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]] are free to rape and torture as they please, casual murder is routine and is treated as comedic, an entire race of [[Jerkass God|Jerkass Gods]] run around creating havoc with impunity and the Demons roam Furrae unchecked to torment mortals for eons. [[Winterweir (Tabletop Game)|Winterweir]] is freaking [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Equestria]] in comparison. [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1298.php This strip] states that the vast majority of races don't live to die of old age because Furrae is such a tough world.
* [[Cuddle Bug]]
** Mab loves hugging. She keeps a list of things she has not hugged yet so that she doesn't miss a single one.
Line 143:
* [[Deus Angst Machina]]: Abel's backstory, as seen in his side comic.
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Used utterly sincerely when someone heard Abel's snark]]!
* [[Did We Just Have Tea With Cthulhu?]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_805.php Here.]
* [[Did You Die]]: A couple times -- [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_928.php example].
* [[Did You Just Have Sex]]
Line 153:
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Mab's official biography once stated that "Mab has a deep seated dislike of wearing shoes."
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]: Devin, in Abel's Backstory.
* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: Behold Azlan's [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|squeaky koala doll]] '''[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_136.php OF DOOM!]'''
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Dan, with his long hair, fluffy wings, and <s> dress</s> robe, gets mistaken for a woman all the time. Sometimes he hates it, but sometimes he uses it to his advantage...
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Much of it can be explained by [[Rule of Funny]] and [[Rule of Cool]], but still...
Line 185:
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]] / [[Killer Rabbit]]: Do not screw with Pip. Seriously. It's a really bad idea.
* [[Foxy Grandma]]: Dan's succubus grandmother, [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1000.php Cyra].
* [[Four -Fingered Hands]]: All the Beings and being based races have them. Averted sometimes, such as when Dan was turned into a human, he had five fingers, and Maltilda has two (no thumbs).
** And yet when Amber draws herself, she has only four fingers. [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_849.php According to Fluffy it's because Amber secretly believes she's a Fraggle.]
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Abel_27.php Abel Dimitri Rewanz].
Line 204:
** {{spoiler|Nutmeg}} screws up her impersonation of {{spoiler|Albanion}}, and Mab catches it.
** Invoked by Destania {{spoiler|when she impersonates Biggs. He calls her out for using his old hairstyle and she mentions she meant to give Dan at least ONE clue he wasn't talking to the real Biggs.}}
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]
** [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_495.php Parodied here].
** And then... well, I don't know what [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1127.php this] would be, but it does make Mab rather [[Perverse Sexual Lust|sexy.]]
Line 259:
* [[I Taste Delicious]]: Played with or parodied in that Lorenda (a half-demonic carnivorous cow) loves eating hamburgers.
* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_687.php Sometimes even in-universe!]
* [[ItsIt's All About Me]]: Regina
* [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At The Time]]: Abel explicitly [[Discussed Trope|discusses]] this with Dan at [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1207.php one point].
* [[I Want Grandkids]]
** {{spoiler|Fa'Lina}} is very excited about Pyroduck's relationship with {{spoiler|Alexsi}} for this reason. She just wants to hear the pitter-patter of little feet. {{spoiler|[[Half -Human Hybrid|Or]] [[Mix and Match Critters|the]] [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons|whoosh-whoosh of]] [[Winged Humanoid|little wings]], [[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|as the case may be.]]}}
** Cyra may be this, though in her case it's great grandkids. Seeing her only family left alive are Destina and Dan, this isn't surprising.
** May, Abel's mother, [http://missmab.com/Comics/Abel_29.php apparently desires them as well].
Line 281:
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: Everyone seemed to know who and what Destania was, except Dan. Though, Dan [[Idiot Hero|being Dan]] may have just not being paying attention.
* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: Abel, Abel, ''Abel''.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Subverted in Abel's Story #1.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The second cornerstone of the setting. An example: A female cubi for thousands of years had systematically raped, mutilated, slaughtered entire families and untold inoccents left and right without a single shred of empathy. Then she got in to teaching and she had to be forcefully restrained from ''torturing children's to death'' by the Headmistress as a form of education. Who is this demon that makes [[Wanted|Mr. Rictus]] look decent? {{spoiler|Dan's mother, who is in quest to eradicate the Dragons. And ''she is treated sympathetically'' or at least with slapstick comedy}}. [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises|OH DEAR MORALITY]].
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: The Mows can digest any non living matter, though they usually stick to fabrics and such...
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Jyrras. Who has created, among other things: the aformentioned [[Deathbringer the Adorable|Deathbringer]], a Griffin-shaped [[Humongous Mecha]], and the Mows. (Well, it was in his lab, though he wasn't there at the time...)
* [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]]: Referenced and averted.
* [[Marshmallow Dream]]: Abel manages to play this one [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1191.php perfectly] [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1196.php straight].
* [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Cyra accidentally {{spoiler|killed ''everyone'' in a city she was trying to take for herself}}, starting a millenia-long war.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]
** Abel. {{spoiler|Abel's Story implies that this is significant}}
Line 300:
** Kria cares about her family and immediate acquaintances, but tends to randomly kill other people on a whim. She's also extremely protective of Lorenda. Most other demons [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Abel_69.php apparently consider] her to be applying the [[Social Darwinist|correct morals]] to the random strangers she kills, and to have a moral lapse for the people she knows, but in practice, it's a common lapse.
** Aaryanna, likewise, goes around killing Beings for fun, and knows that Destania at least has no moral qualms with torturing children, but still accuses Destania's alleged killer of [[Van Helsing Hate Crimes]]. Unlike Demons, most Cubi ''aren't'' like this, although they do tolerate it.
* [[Morally -Ambiguous Doctorate]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_525.php Dr. Ink] is this on a good day. On a bad one, he's an [[Mad Doctor|"egotistical, calculating, raving lunatic."]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Mink, frequent purveyor of panel-filling monologues. Also Cyra, in her first opportunity to talk with her grandson. While the former is canonically androgynous, the latter is undeniably female: the author gets in some [[Self Deprecating Humor]] with the caption.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Cubi [[Combat Tentacles]] and [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] are useful as extra hands and disguises, respectively, and apparently a clan with a fear affinity [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader03.php makes horror movies]. More understandably, so does the [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader07.php lust-affinity clan]. Their clan symbol is prominently featured on Lorenda's [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1252.php Cubi porn] DVD.
Line 313:
* [[Noble Demon]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_647.php Abel], almost certainly.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]
* [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine]]: Sort of. When the gang sneaks into SAIA, there's a panel of [[Cloudcuckoolander|Mab and Pip]] [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_561.php having tea with Dr. Ink]. A similar thing happens in a later arc, with {{spoiler|Fi and Devin}}.
* [[Noodle Implement]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_616.php Mab's Brownies.]
* [[Noodle Incident]]
Line 329:
* [[Omniscient Morality License]]: Fa'Lina comments that being nigh-omniscient has the side-effect of turning you into a sociopathic [[Jerkass]]. With what little we know of Fa'Lina, though, she could easily just have been that way ''before'' she became so powerful. Considering her signature emotion is hope, she may very well just be putting on an act.
* [[One Degree of Separation]]: The entire cast seems to be connected through Fa'lina, Kria, and/or Destania.
* [[One -Gender Race]]
** Succubi of the clan Nact'larn, the closest to the familiar [[Horny Devils]], although it's [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1134.php suggested] they're in the habit of [[Gender Bender|turning themselves male]] when... [[Jumping the Gender Barrier|the situation warrants it]]. That comes from one of the classic legends about succubi/incubi.
** Also Phoenixes, seeing as they don't really need to reproduce.
Line 412:
** "...[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_628.php maybe you should go to a restroom to change]..."
** Kria [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_763.php gets a taste of this] aswell
* [[Sufficiently Analyzed Magic]]: Jyrras's inquiries in magical contaminants in materials have found some [[Magic aA Is Magic A|highly consistent properties]] that may lead him eventually to create a theoretical all-natural material with no contaminants whatsoever. {{spoiler|Mab is apparently behind this, carefully manipulating towards this goal.}}
* [[Superhero Trophy Shelf]]: The walls of Dan's room are covered with weapons displays. No telling how many of these are souvenirs, since it's been shown that Dan appreciates swords.
* [[Super Window Jump]]: Dan did one [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1205.php off panel].
Line 432:
** Also, Cubi don't actually need to eat physical food, so most only eat a couple of favourite foods for pleasure. This appears to be the case with {{spoiler|Dan and ale}}.
** Aaryanna loves toast.
* [[Two Scenes, One Dialogue]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_609.php Possibly in the last two panels.]
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Pip. {{spoiler|Usually...}}
* [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]]: Dan pulled one off on Biggs early on; apparently [[Noodle Incident|it wasn't the first time that happened to him.]]
Line 447:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Several. [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1146.php Helloooooooooo, Dark Pegasus...]
* [[Walls of Text]] (lampshaded)
* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: At several points, [[Third -Act Misunderstanding|major relationship problems crop up which could have been avoided with a little honesty when they first became relevant]]. {{spoiler|They generally avoid the problems by [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1067.php being] [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1074.php honest] when it first becomes relevant}}.
* [[Wham Episode]]
** The Fae arc. {{spoiler|Wait, you mean at least two characters are going to ''die''?!}}
Line 458:
** Earlier, "Destania must be so proud to have an incubus like you for a son!"
** "Jyrras... known Dan since childhood... came to rescue him... {{spoiler|have had a slight crush on him}} since..."
* [[What Does This Button Do?]]: [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_362.php Always idiot-proof your lab!].
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Abel calling out Dan on {{spoiler|not staying at SAIA to train properly, pointing out that not learning to control his 'Cubi powers made it more likely that he'd lose control and [[I Am a Monster|truly become the menace]] he feared.}}
** And he [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1048.php just gave Dan] [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1049.php another one] over how he plans to {{spoiler|use Matilda to keep an eye on Alexsi.}}
*** {{spoiler|And Dan [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1051.php actually] [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1067.php ''listened''].}}
