== Tropes - D-H ==
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Mr. King offers one to his son {{spoiler|Jareth}}, just to find that the kid [[Subverted Trope|isn't]] in the [[Beware the Silly Ones|mood for games]]. Also a bit of an inversion as he offered a [[Your Soul Is Mine|soul he already claimed]] for [[You Owe Me|favors]]. [http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-40-305264355 Here].
* [[Death
* [[Did Mom Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: James's initial reaction to his mother seeing {{spoiler|der Erlkönig (after he realized who he is)}}. Later [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] because the [[Cool Old Lady]] is hard to fool... she willingly [[Interspecies Romance|romances]] (and [[The Gadfly|trolls]]) [[The Fair Folk|"Cthulhu"]].
* [[Discriminate and Switch]]: After she and Sarah find [[Ho Yay|Valjean resting an unconscious Javert's head in his lap]], Norrington's mother comments that the two of them seemed "so... you know... the f-word..." She means "[[Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey|French]]," of course.
Line 154:
* [[National Stereotypes]]: Animosities played straight: The French ''hate'' the "British"<ref>(Jareth tends to ally himself with this side)</ref>, Europeans the Americans, and vice versa. Others mostly subverted (Like: the sillier characters tend to be the "British" ones).
* [[Necktie Leash]]: Scarf leash but [http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/art/Roommates-Such-Stuff-as-Dreams-Are-Made-On-10-291510560 it] fits. {{spoiler|And the Erik/Jareth [[Ho Yay|shippers]] rejoiced.}}
* [[Nobody Can Die]]: At least nobody who isn't [[The Verse|verse]]-[[Muggles|native]] (not tested) or [[Deader Than Dead]]. And here [[Deader Than Dead]] means (as far as we can see it yet): a) [[You Can't Fight Fate|Your death is required]] for someone else's [[Death
* [[Nonchalant Dodge]]: {{spoiler|"Odile" does the third type while fighting three opponents and she even [[Casual Danger Dialog|combines it]] with [[Evil Gloating]]. Later subverted when her opponents outright tell her that they did not intend to defeat her.}}
* [[Not Proven]]: Jareth's (and by extension his family's) involvement in any shenanigans and pranks ever can be summed up with this (except if he admits it). He even lampshades this in the second karaoke page.
