Line 74:
* [[B Side Comics]]: Abel's Story. A different character (Mikelo) is going to have his own side comic once Abel's is finished.
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Dark Pegasus' sister comments sadly that every time he returns, he's a little more... changed.
* [[Cameo]]: [[Freefall (Webcomic)|Florence]] [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_991.php plushie]
* [[Cannot Dream]]: Adult Cubi are ''supposed'' to [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1095.php suffer] from [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1193.php this]. Abel comments on needing to talk to Fa'Lina about the [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1196.php whole thing].
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: Even beyond the fact Demons and some 'Cubi (at the very least) eat Beings, there are also non-sentient animals running around that are eaten for meat. The author's notes state that there is something of a taboo against eating "equivalent" species (dog-Being eating a non-sentient dog, for example), but otherwise nobody makes a big deal out of it. The Creatures do tend to throw this fact around when Beings object to being eaten by them.
Line 82:
** Abel also sports one to Jyrras [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_864.php here] and even [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_872.php Amber herself gets in on this in the last panel].
* [[Catch Phrase]]
** Abel has "Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! [[Overly Long Gag|Hate! Hate! Hate!]]" Not that he's [[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|the first to use that line]].
** "That is '''not''' the proper way to use a [cooking instrument]"
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]
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.
** Mink [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1238.php introduces himself to Dan] this way.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_589.php Dan vs. Falina], [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Dan seems to think Fae curses of vengeance fit this. Makes sense, since a Fae curse discourages anyone ''else'' from harming the target -- Fae ''really'' don't like kill-stealing. Fae are also capricious enough that they tend to forget about their targets for years, and the eventual "revenge" is usually little more than a harmless prank. [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_846.php Dan once had such a curse.] [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|He abused the hell out of it.]] But then the Fae called in their revenge. {{spoiler|So now he loses all his feathers whenever he eats shellfish.}}
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: They sneak in from time to time. Mostly on cats.
** Amber has now proven that [[Cute Little Fangs]] [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1030.php do not belong on a horse.]
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 Withwith 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 150:
** Evil Jyrras in Wildy's novel is [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_447.php oblivious to all the obvious clues,] however.
* [[Distinguishing Mark]] / [[Glamour Failure]]: Most Cubi have a Clan mark, which they cannot conceal with shapeshifting. They can, however, cover it with clothing or even make-up.
* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1188.php clotheslesscubiclotheslesscubiclotheslesscubi...]
* [[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.
Line 157:
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Much of it can be explained by [[Rule of Funny]] and [[Rule of Cool]], but still...
** Despite her protests, at first Lorenda seems almost as dangerous as her mother, meeting Jyrras after killing some predators stalking him, moving in with him after being evicted for ''killing and eating everyone else in her building'', and as soon as she's settled in killing two door-to-door salesmen [[Disproportionate Retribution|for being door-to-door salesmen]]. Contrast to when Jyrras is under the Fae curse, and she harmlessly ''knocks out'' the paparazzi. It was suggested in that early story arc that Beings [[Carnivore Confusion|followed the normal food chain]], and the Soulstealers' demonic heritage only explained why a ''cow'' and a ''horse'' eat meat, whereas it's later established that all Beings are omnivores, preying on non-anthropomorphic animals, but only Demons and other Creatures eat sentient beings, and indeed, even this is later downplayed.
** A joke is made early on about Mab being caught up in in [[The Eighties|eighties nostalgia]], when later knowledge about the history of Furrae ("guy" is an older word than "man," a flashback to the seventeenth century looks very much like the twentieth, etc.) makes the similarity in eighties fashion seem essentially pure coincidence, and a date of 1991 making the nostalgia joke seem odd. And Mab's [[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Sailor Moon]] doll is much more recent than the eighties.
** When Aaryanna first appears, it seems Succubi are a kind of Demon (indeed, she even calls Destania a "Demon" at one point) who act like typical [[Horny Devils]] and necessarily feast on the innocent. All this flies ''hard'' out the window when we meet Abel and Fa'lina...
* [[Easter Egg]]: A number of secret pages have existed on the site at one time or another, with a warning that mentioning them on the forums would result in a ban, containing plot-relevant future information, including a bio of Rose with a number of insights into the Fae, and Fa'Lina's bio before it was posted officially. However, likely due to the attention from outside sites such as these, all that haven't been posted openly have been taken down, with one exception ({{spoiler|a page on human/creature hybrids, found via the grey arrow on the "last" page of the hybrid sequence, confirming that humans once did exist and hinting that their fate would become relevant later on}}).
Line 220:
* [[Hair Wings]]: 'Cubi have miniature “headwings” (as well as a regular pair) in their default form. {{spoiler|Dan}} discovered he was one by having them grow in. Instantaneously.
{{quote| “Miss, you have a bat in your hair!”}}
* [[Hand in Thethe Hole]]
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]
** Abel receives one [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1095.php here], from {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream|Dream!]]Pip}}.
Line 235:
** Dan is afraid {{spoiler|his developing 'Cubi powers}} may turn him into one.
** [[Not So Different|Interestingly]], it's that same fear that keeps {{spoiler|Abel}} going.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: The title of each strip is a humorous commentary on its events, of the type that [[Xkcd (Webcomic)|certain other webcomics]] reserve for [[Alt Text]] punchlines.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Dan, so very much.
* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]]: Before leaving for SAIA, Dan makes it clear that if anything happens to Alexsi, Pyroduck and Abel will die; he's not worried that ''they'' will do anything to Alexsi--Pyroduck and her are already dating--it's that Dan is very protective of his sister, and with him gone for a month, is passing responsibility for her safety to them.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]
** One of the reasons Beings and Creatures don't get on so well is that Creatures are often quite willing to eat Beings. Lorenda and Kria Soulstealer both eat a number of Beings in the series. At least, during the early strips.
Line 245:
** They're not actually immortal, but pretty much every species of creature seems to stop aging in their mid to late twenties.
** Fa'Lina seems to be a bit older.
** Cubi can shapeshift. Cyra explicitly shapeshifted to fit Dan's expectation of his grandmother, even though she first appeared around Fa'Lina's age and [[Attack of the Fifty50 Foot Whatever|hundreds of feet tall]].
* [[Immortal Procreation Clause]]
** Cubi Clan leaders, while not truly immortal, are unable to have children of their own.
Line 260:
* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_687.php Sometimes even in-universe!]
* [[It's All About Me]]: Regina
* [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At Thethe 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].
* [[I Will Tear Your Arms Off]]: The reason why Matilda [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1065.php was exiled]. That's a bit of [[Disproportionate Retribution]], considering her species can [[Good Thing You Can Heal|grow back limbs.]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
** Abel, and possibly Devin.
** Believe it or not, {{spoiler|Wildy San}}.
Line 334:
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]: [[The Fair Folk|The Fae.]] As such, [[Your Soul Is Mine|eating a fae's soul]] is impossible.
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: For the most part the undead are pretty much the same as the were before they died. Except with detachable limbs.
* [[Ow, My Body Part]]: Presumably, Amber's [[Invader Zim (Animation)|squeedily spooch]] is located [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_593.php somewhere in her neck.]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: Abel. Be worried if he smiles. Be ''terrified'' [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1232.php if he laughs].
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Kria gets quite a few in Abel's Story. She also gets one in the main comic... [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1182.php sorta.].
Line 350:
** Speaking of Jyrras, his status as the absurdly cute thing means he gets them whenever he's the slightest bit disappointed.
** Even Abel can put on a decent pair if he has a good enough reason.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Merlitz.
* [[Pyrrhic Victory]]: Mab discovers that [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_695.php winning tastes like dirt.]
* [[Rage Quit]]: [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1280.php Abel vs. Jyrras]
* [[Random Drop]]: After rescuing Alexsi from Biggs, Mab calls dibs on the dropped loot as if it were an MMORPG quest, and wins a [[Blade Onon a Stick|voulge]]. [[Cloudcuckoolander|This is Mab]] [[Reality Warper|we're talking about]].
* [[Reason You Suck Speech]]: In Abel's Story, delivered by {{spoiler|Aaryanna}} to Abel.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
Line 366:
* [[Robo Speak]]: [http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1189.php Macy, Jyrras' robot daughter], who also acts like a [[TV Teen]].
{{quote| '''Macy:''' Initiating response three. ''But Daaaaaaad!''}}
* [[Rooting for Thethe Empire]]: [[In -Universe]] -- Undead and Demons tend to do this when [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1251.php watching horror movies.]
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: As show in the above image, the author appears simply incapable of using "have" after an auxiliary.
* [[Running Gag]]
Line 388:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many.
** [[wikipedia:Flinx|Pip]]. Pip's appearance, general personality and temperament pretty much make him Mab's answer to Flinx's minidrag.
** Also, look carefully at what is exposed of the [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader15.php Clan Mink] page. Can't see it? {{spoiler|"Status: [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|This was a triumph! I'm making a note [obscured by speech bubble] success!!]]"}}
** [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1182.php This comic] contains a shout out to a [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|certain song.]]
** ''[[Las Lindas (Webcomic)|Las Lindas]]'': [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1250.php the horror movie!]
** The next page has ''[[Code Name: Hunter]]''.
** The entire [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_512.php wardrobe montage]. With bonus allusion to tentacle rape and several [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Wholesome Crossdressers]].
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Wildy's... [[Yaoi Fangirl|interesting]] book.
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 421:
* [[Three-Point Landing]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_939.php Here.]
* [[Time for Plan B]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_424.php "Plan B?] Isn't that the one you [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_426.php waste time eating muffins?"]
* [[Timmy in Aa Well]]: Referenced several times, and subverted [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_496.php here].
* [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]]: Jyrras' parents.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_973.php Dan], from Regina's perspective.
