Line 74:
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Some of the comments Nathan has made can be read as this, especially if you've read up on your American history.
** {{spoiler|Nathan Hale couldn't keep a secret to save his life. Ouch.}}
* [[Form
* [[Genius Book Club]]: Nathan is often seen reading the play ''Cato'' which also acts as a [[Genius Bonus]] for those who know that his historical counterpart's famous quote is sometimes attributed as being based on a part of the play.
* [[Gentleman and A Scholar]]: Played straight with Nathan Hale.
Line 87:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Nathan Hale and Ben Tallmadge.
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: ''And how''. There's Nathan Hale, Col. Knowlton, John Adams, Gen. Howe, Betsy Loring,Hercules Mulligan, Alexander Hamilton, Gen. Washington... and probably plenty more coming soon.
* [[
* [[Hollywood New England]]: Since the parts take place in modern - day Boston, MA, it's possible that the characters in that period talk with an accent. Also with Nathan, Alan, and 18th - century Bea.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: At the end of issue #10, Alexander offers to take Beatrice to safety to Washington's headquarters, but Beatrice stays put with Alan and Nathan. Alan is supposed to take Beatrice to Washington for interrogation about what happened when she was with Howe - and Alexander could easily have taken her to Washington himself!
Line 101:
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: In a behind-the-scenes interview with Lora Innes, the comics creator, says that 18th-century Bea's parents want her to marry her cousin, John Mulligan.
** It's also weird because 21st-century Bea ''also'' has a cousin named John Mulligan....
* [[Laser
* [[Living Dream]]: 18th-century Beatrice (or is she?)
* [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]: Well, it ''was'' the style back then!
Line 107:
* [[Love Triangle]]: Played with, since Bea has boyfriends in both time eras. Also it looks as if Alexander Hamilton has an unrequited love/crush on Bea.
* [[Manly Men Can Hunt]]: In the 18th - century, at least.
* [[May
** Although historically, this [[Truth in Television|was the norm]].
* [[Meet Cute]]: Although Alexander and Beatrice technically already knew each other, they still met cute in [http://thedreamercomic.com/comic.php?id=237 issue nine]. Granted, they aren't in a relationship yet, it's still worth noting.
Line 116:
* [[The Muse]]: In issue #11, Bea's voice teacher invokes this as the reason why Beatrice sang particularly well.
* [[Nakama]]: Knowlton's Rangers.
* [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine]]: Apparently this was what Bea went through with while staying with General Howe.
* [[Of Corests Sexy]]
* [[Official Couple]]: Alan/Bea, obviously.
Line 128:
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Nathan often [[Invoked Trope|invokes]] this trope.
* [[Sick Episode]]: The entirety of issue #14, with Alan as the sick one.
* [[Sibling Yin
* [[Sharp Dressed Man]]: Alex, naturally.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: In issue #4 Nathan gets one, although it's just him in his bed.
Line 142:
* [[Wham Line]]
{{quote| '''Nathan:''' Ever since I enlisted, I've been waiting for the chance to be useful. {{spoiler|'''''So I'll do it.''''' Colonel Knowlton, tell General Washington that I am his man.}} }}
* [[Where Da White Women At?]]? Ben Cato and Beatrice are in a relationship.
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: In issue #9, Alan, Alex, Bea and Nathan go in cognito.
* [[Wife Husbandry]]: Alan does this with Bea, which of course is rather squicky to say the least. Also a [[Values Dissonance]] with the readers. To us, it looks weird, but back then, it was perfectly normal.
* [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]]: A discussed trope.
