Dramacon: Difference between revisions

** Emily is just as blunt and snarky as he, which seems to be why they get on so well.

** Christie's shoulder devil is like this in response to the shoulder angel sometimes.

'''Devil:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Or, he got a sex-change operation.]] In which case we're supportive but still straight as a ruler and suddenly uninterested. }}

* [[Drives Like Crazy]] - Brett.

** Leads to a near [[Be Careful What You Wish For]] moment,

* [[Jerkass]]: The snooty "table neighbor" in Book 2. Spurns Christie's friendly greeting, rudely interrupts when Christie and her friends are talking about their favorite author, and calls Bethany "a kiss up" when she saw said author offer her a job. It nearly gets her slapped but Beth takes the high road and leaves her be. Christie and Beth's friends, on the other hand, aren't so lenient.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] - Matt, who turns out not to be an ''actual'' [[Jerkass]]. Just a little socially inept.

* [[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone]]: The group does this to Matt and Christie in book 3. Christie is pissed off at them for this, at least at first.

* [[Manga Effects]] - Many, many effects. Lampshaded in the third book.

** The first time manages to draw a lot of attention.

Cosplayer 2: Hmpf, Japan, probably. [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|Needs more color]]. }}

** The second time makes it onto the local news.

* [[Moment Killer]] - Mostly involving Monica and Hyu-Jeong.

'''Matt:''' [[This Is Sparta|STOP. PLAYING. GAMES.]]<br />

'''Christie:''' Why? Afraid you'll lose?<br />

* [[Noodle Incident]] - The "coffee scene" in the manga that Christie and Derek {{spoiler|later replaced by Beth}} create.

* [[Old Shame]] - In-universe: Lida is incredibly ashamed of her earlier work, ''Nightbloom''.

'''Lida:''' It's a crime against the comics artform. [[Kill It with Fire|Let's burn it]].<br />

'''Christie:''' No, no...Just a signature is fine!! }}

* [[Recurring Extra]] - The raccoon from the [[He's Okay]] entry pops up in the background in all three volumes. He even makes a cameo in the first volume of Svetlana's other work, ''[[Nightschool]].''

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Pretty much everyone for Christie/Matt besides [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Emily]], but even she backs off after a while. Hyu-Jeong and Monica avidly ship Beth/Raj, and eventually get Christie on board, too.

'''Christie:''' Or lack thereof. }}

* [[Shout-Out]] - Ties in with [[Bland-Name Product]] above. On the back of volume 1, there's a picture of Christie dressed as [[Fruits Basket|Tohru, with Yuki, Kyo, and Hana]] plushies in the bag next to her. There's also the hats at Matt's table in the Artist Alley, which have an angry looking mouse hat and a bored looking cat hat. Christie's kitty hat is clearly Kyo. There's also many other shout-outs by way of cosplayers, like the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|guy with an arrow pointing up on his head and someone with hair-loopies]], and when Beth's cousin buys a [[Naruto|headband]] with a [[Teen Titans (animation)|T in a circle]] on it.
