''[[Go Get a Roomie (Webcomic)|Go Get a Roomie]]'' is a comedy webcomic narrating the wacky hijinx of Roomie, a [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Not-So-Innocent Fanservice Girl]], and her friends, most of whom are girls with whom she [[Really Gets Around|slept as payment for letting her sleep over at their place]].

While not full-out porn, the comic is definitely '''[[NSFW]]'''. It is [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/gallery/#Go-Get-a-Roomie-Webcomic published] by batlesbo (formally nana-51) on [[Deviant ART]] and, since recently, on [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/ its own website]. [http://batlesbo.deviantart.com/gallery/26030322?offset=168#/d2pa8ft Here is the first strip].

This page is in need for more love. [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Roomie, however, is alright.]]

----
=== This webcomic provides examples of following tropes: ===

* [[The Alcoholic]]/[[Lady Drunk]]: Roomie [[Can't Hold His Liquor|can't hold her liquor]], but that never stops her (including a [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie-p5-164382710 highly suggestive ode] to {{spoiler|beer}}).
* [[Allergic to Love]]: [[Played for Drama]] [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie26-171457458 with Roomie], whose turbulent lifestyle inevitably causes anguish to anyone who has serious feelings for her.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The art has evolved ''big time'' from the early strips.
* [[Beneath the Mask]]:  {{spoiler|Apparently, being as loved and idolized by everyone as she is get's a little suffocating for Roomie. It's part of the reason she's so drawn to Lillian.}}
* [[Bi the Way]]: Allan, definitely. Possibly Roomie, but this is subject to a series of [[The Un Reveal|Unreveals]], and she's only been seen with women.
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor|Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Jo the Barman [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie27-173216161 has some interesting stories] to tell about the drunk Roomie. [[Self Deprecation|About himself, too.]]
* [[Cats Are Snarkers]]: Lillian's cat is very much like a muted form of her owner. 
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Matt. Since Lillian took over his role as [[Straight Man]] to Roomie, Matt seems to have disappeared from the surface of the Earth. (The [[Unfortunate Implications]] of Roomie and Matt's interaction probably had a part in it.)
** [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com//2012-05-08-In-Roomie-territory.jpg As of strip 216, he's back!]
* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: That, or Roomie is just good at [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie21-169439643 here].
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Roomie's punishment to someone not willing to wake up is [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie11-165855072 covering them up with love bites].
* [[Cooldown Hug]]: Roomie gives one to Matt to resolve some of the [[UST|tension]] that built up between them by [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie24-170937018 strip 24].
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2010/12/the-awakening/ In time] Lillian finally warms up to Roomie.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Lillian, full stop.
* [[Distracted By the Shiny]]: [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com//2012-02-01-ITJUSTLITUP.jpg ITJUSTLITUP!]
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Roomie doesn't seem to like them most of the time.
* [[Double Entendre]]: Roomie needs approximately three seconds to come up with one.
** Comes back as a [[Brick Joke]] when, at a later point, Lillian is given the option in a game of "Truth or Dare" to either tell the truth of whom her "first" was, or make up a double entrende on the spot, with a time limit on three seconds to make up her mind. She decides to go for the "think like Roomie" approach and delivers [[Take a Third Option|a combination of both]] just as the three second time limit expires.
* [[Drunk On Milk]]: Roomie apparently gets herself [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie30-174384702 drunk] on [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie29-174100609 water].
** [[Truth in Television]]: Particular types of alcoholic beverages (Red wine being a classic example) will leave alcohol in a person's liver; a sudden intake of liquid will thus flush this alcohol out, causing intoxication. Similar effects can occur in heavy drinkers.
* [[Dude She's Like in A Coma]]: Roomie briefly entertained the thought of thoroughly ravaging Lillian in her sleep, but settled for giving her a kiss on the cheek instead. D'aaawh.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Roomie seems to inspire this where-ever she goes. One character even explained that even though she is straight for the most part, she ''does'' make exceptions for shy little virgins who have never known a woman's touch... Roomie is an exception to that exception.
* [[Everyone Calls Him Barkeep]]: No, it's not the actual barkeep (whose name is Jo), but Roomie herself. As explained in [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-get-a-Roomie-pg3-163461439 strip 3], it's a shortened for "Room-mate". He real name has not been revealed so far.
* [[Face Palm]]: [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2010/06/go-get-a-roomie-30/ It's not like Matt] has much of a choice about it.
* [[Freudian Slip]]: While the [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]] are being flinged left and right, this is the only one that ''seems'' to pass as [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie109-211392499 unintentional].
** Also [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one strip, but it is quite possible that the "slip" was intentional.
* [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]]: As Matt [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie18-168188967 puts it], watching half-naked girls is more interesting than trees. Also, arguably the whole point of the comic.
* [[Girls Love]]: Roomie obviously prefers girls, and most named girls so far prefer her.
* [[Het Is Ew]]: Roomie jokes about being [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie23-170782803 heterosexually infected] by Matt's kiss.
* [[Hikikomori]]: Lillian, who sleeps the better part of the day and barely interacts with anyone. Which is why her brother  {{spoiler|set her up with Roomie in the first place.}} 
* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: Troll's attempt to explain to Lillian that Roomie is in the back room engaging in lesbian sex [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2010/12/cunninglingus-2/ here].
* [[I Am Not Pretty]]: Lillian thinks she isn't. Roomie begs to differ. 
* [[I Have Boobs You Must Obey|I Have Bewbs You Must Obey]]: Roomie manages to save Matt from her three odd friends with "The power of BEWBS!"
* [[I Know Kung Fu]]: [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com//2012-05-24-Fluidity-in-everything.jpg Akido] actually.
* [[In Series Nickname]]: Lillian will always be "Lazy Tyke" to Roomie. Roomie probably wasn't named such by her mother.
* [[Just for Pun]]: The title of the comic is a pun on "go get a room", [[Do Not Explain the Joke|an expression used to communicate to a couple that their... interaction compromises the dignity of those around them]].
* [[Just Friends]]: This is what Roomie prefers her relationship with Matt to be.
** Also, it's all that her relationship with Lillian amounts to so far... [[Will They or Won't They|Let's wait and see!]]
* [[Ladykiller in Love]]: Roomie seems to be downright enamored with Lillian. She has definitely spent more time focusing on Lazy Tyke than anyone else in the series.
* [[Lap Pillow]]: Roomie [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com//2012-03-14-Uh-Huh.jpg provides one] for Lillian, while she tells her story.
{{quote| '''Roomie:''' My lap's that comfy, huh?<br />
'''Lillian:''' Well, it certainly isn't ''un''comfy.<br />
'''Roomie:''' Uh-huh. }}
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie12-166186181 Roomie... just Roomie.]
* [[Love You and Everybody]]: Roomie's way of love is... complicated. Depending on how you see it, she falls somewhere between [[Allergic to Love]] and [[Anything That Moves]].
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Roomie, of the "very promiscuous, usually drunk and [[Good Bad Girl|teasing everyone]]" variety.
* [[Master of the Mixed Message]]: Roomie seems absolutely dumbfounded that some people may misunderstand her sexual antics as anything serious.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: Jak and his (unnamed) friend get [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie22-170702170 really] high at the party at Aggie's place.
* [[Naked Apron]]: Sported by Roomie, when she's [[http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com//2011-10-05-Clich<!-- C3A9.jpg baking a cake.]] -->
* [[Not a Morning Person]]: Lillian, Roomie's [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie32-176022481 newest bed buddy].
* [[Only One Name]]: Every character so far. "Roomie" is not even a name.
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: Interestingly, it's not the onlooker, but her current lover Aggie who is [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie14-166562200 embarrassed] by Roomie's nakedness.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: Roomie. ''Nothing'' can get her down. Even encountering homophobia makes her happy, since it drives lesbians closer together.
* [[The Promise]]: Aggie promises to never fall in love with Roomie. Take that as you wish.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Roomie's promiscuity never ceases to astonish Matt.
** Especially when [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie20-168823673 she learns Aggie's name the next day after bedding her].
* [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]]: In the early strips, Roomie had a habit of getting naked whenever she wanted to be comfortable (and it [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie19-168819096 takes three hours to get her back into clothes afterwards]), without care of who was around. Has been dialed back now that the comic is more relationship focused.
* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Allan, for Roomie and LT.
* [[Shout Out]]
** Roomie once [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie-p7-165052120 claims] to be a [[I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space|Lesbian Pirate from Outer Space]].
** [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2011/10/too-distasteful/ Roomie's ringtone] is a song from ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]''.
{{quote| '''Lillian:''' Cellphone says your ringtone is [[In Joke|too distasteful]].}}
** The mugs in [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2012/01/we-did-not/ this strip]: if you look at them up close, you can see the references to a certain famous [[Xena: Warrior Princess|TV show]] and an equally well-known [[Portal (Video Game)|video game]]
** The comic's banner ads on [[MS Paint Adventures]].com often reference the popular [[Homestuck]] fan pairing of Rose and Kanaya
* [[Sleepyhead]]: Lillian, as mentioned before. It is heavily implied that sleep is an escape mechanism to her that she resorts to whenever life and/or circumstances starts getting uncomfortable.
* [[Spit Take]]: [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2010/06/go-get-a-roomie-28/ Check.]
* [[Straight Man]]: Matt, both literally and in the trope sense.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Allan has definitely never had dreams about [http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2011/02/dragons-and-unicorns/ "steamy encounters with pink unicorns and dragons with rows of penis on its back".]
* [[Transsexual]]: [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie16-167539150 Julia, who is now Jak], much to Roomie's confusion.
* [[The Un Reveal]]: When Roomie is asked (somewhat obliquely) in an interview whether she likes men, she purposefully misinterprets the question. When she wakes up having apparently had a threesome with two men, she objects of the straighter one, "he's... Allan!"
* [[Visual Pun]]: [http://nana-51.deviantart.com/art/Go-Get-a-Roomie103-209073642 This gem].
* [[Will They or Won't They]] Roomie and Lillian.
