The Archipelago: Difference between revisions

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Based on what people who knew him say, Anthony was an Anti-Hero.

** Also, {{spoiler|Raven}} could qualify as a type II or III.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Credenza would like for us to know that Captain Snow is a filthy coward, inexcusably evil, and poorly dressed.

* [[Art Evolution]]: Seriously. Compare [http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=1 this] with [http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=583 this].

* [[Author Appeal]]: In the creator's own words, "In case you haven't realized, Archipelago is pretty much one big excuse for me to draw strange animals."

* [[Badass Preacher]]: Miss Tabitha is a nun. A rather elderly nun. Do not be fooled by appearances. Do not threaten her abbey's residents. Do NOT tear books in ''her'' library!

* [[Bad Dreams]]: Credenza sometimes has these about her childhood

* [[Ballroom Blitz]]: Book 6. Snow and an army of Ravens attempt a hostile takeover of the Quillotia Castle while King Mikel is hosting a party to welcome home {{spoiler|his long-lost cousins, the Luck brothers.}}

** Paollo qualifies as well. Also, Mikel. There's also Clair, but she's a child so it's really more of an active imagination.

* [[Clothing Damage]]: [http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=186 "Was it really necessary to get rid of his clothes, or was that just for effect?"]

* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: This or possibly a combo of it and [[Lethal Chef]] describe Riley's cooking. His signature dish is best described as fish still-kicking cooked into a pancake batter. {{spoiler|Both of these tropes are actually averted, as his dish is delicious, loved but lost by the Pintur family.}}

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: who knew blitz could do [http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=491 this]

* [[Explosive Breeder]]: Apparently, Moofs.

** [http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=77 Do you know what happens if those things get in your submarine and multiply!? (Shudder)]

* [[Eye Take]]: [http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=836 Both Raven and Credenza on this page.]

* [[Fainting Seer]]: According to Tusura, it often takes a bucket of cold water to snap Paollo out of his visions.

** [[The Evil Genius]]: Han.

** [[The Brute]]: Kurr.

* [[Five-Man Band]]

** [[The Hero]]: Credenza. A rare example where the leader is female while the rest of the band is male.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Alice is trying to untie a bag rather urgently. It's got lots of tight knots. So Alice, a girl raised around sailors, starts swearing at it like only she can:

{{quote|'''Alice''': Crumbs! Toast crumbs! Toast crumbs with butter and jam you stupid bag!}}

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Beastmen can mix with humans, though it's rare. Tuff and Riley are half-wereshark. A hybrid can get some beneficial traits like strength, danger-sense, or a powerful sense of smell, but shapeshifting into a more animalistic form is generally right out -- they can try, but it won't be pretty and is probably lethal. Tuff describes the result as looking something like tuna casserole.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Raven gets a soul.}}

* [[Hot Sub-On-Sub Action]]: Second book, Captain Snow versus the Royal Guard.

* [[Human Shield]]: {{spoiler|The Shadomandyr Queen uses Simon as one.}}

* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: Vaniji.

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Holly calls Clair by her mother's name by accident- she wasn't paying attention at the time.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Pretty much everyone on Quillotia.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Nim, after {{spoiler|rescuing Willium from the belly of the Shadomandyr Queen,}} states simply "That was definitely the third weirdest thing to ever happen to me."

** We're not sure what happened at Mikel's 21st birthday party, but when he brings it up in comparison with {{spoiler|1=[http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=640 Snow's attack on Castle Quillotia] }}, you know it has to have been crazy.

* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: Captain Snow.

* [[Sense Freak]]: {{spoiler|Raven after becoming fully human.}} More specifically, he's interested in taste. [[Word of God]] says he has a very detailed diary of everything he's ever eaten and whether he likes it or not.

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Credenza, at the royal dinner in Quillotia

** Prince Paollo quotes a Beatles song and Macbeth.

** Snow reads Poe's "Conqueror Worm" to {{spoiler|his daughter Yulalia.}}

'''Blitz:''' The way we always do what she says. }}

* [[Teleporter Accident]]: [http://archipelagocomic.com/comic/?id=6 How about that stretcher?]

* [[The Messiah]]: Credenza.
