Guilded Age/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A list of Subjective Tropes for the webcomic Guilded Age.

  • Non Sequitur Scene: This guest comic during the shift between artists could launch an entire trope page on its own.
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment: Payet is looking for the basin who would tell him his destiny. A normal adventure until you remember how it ended his introduction... well.
    • Byron The "Beserker," rarely lives up to his title, to the consternation of some of the readers. When he finally loses it in Chapter 8, it's... not pretty. The creators lampshade it in one alt-text.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Payet, after slaughtering almost all the pirate crew by himself, blocks a bullet, headshots a pirate by ricochet with said bullet to finally Kick the Dog by throwing the kidnapped children overboard to use their weight as an anchor and stop the boat. Byron does not approve, apparently.
  • Ship Tease: Ever since a particular guest comic, popularity for a Frigg/Syr'nj pairing has risen, and the authors have made no attempt to dissuade it.
