Line 10:
=== ''The Gulchverse'' contains examples of: ===
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: Does Cain actually have the authority to boss around most of the individuals he does? No? Does anyone want to try arguing with him?
* [[Badly -Battered Babysitter]]: Judging by the events Gulch had to face while DG was growing up, it is a miracle either of them survived her childhood. This includes her {{spoiler|getting him partially gored by a bull, setting his hair on fire, knocked off a roof, dangling off a watertower by his belt, shot...}} There is a reason he calls her his nemesis.
* [[Bar Brawl]]: There was an epic one between the Royal Guard and the army, led by Gulch and Jeb respectively. Neither one of the two men were willing to give up, {{spoiler|even after being arrested and later handcuffed together. The entire event erupted due to a few choice comments by Jeb concerning the princesses. Everyone who heard him at the bar kept his exact words secret from the rest of the world, much to everyone else's frustration}}.
* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: Lampshaded in Tic Tok by Gulch himself, when he says that "anyone who backs down like that without so much as asking what business it is of mine to interfere would not survive trying to date you"
Line 25:
* [[Crazy Cultural Comparison]]: It has become very clear that there needs to be a list of important O.Z. common knowledge that the Othersiders don't know, but need to. Gulch really wants a copy of that list.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: Chapter 27 of "Otherside Encounter." It is essentially "A Christmas Carol" with O.Z. characters. Gulch realizes this and even mentions that the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is supposed to be silent. That doesn't really stop Lord Fastidium...
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Gulch. All the members of the Royal Bodyguard see him as a joke. Until {{spoiler|someone tried to kill Az. Cue [[Curb Stomp Battle]] from Old Gulchy}}.
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Gulch suffers this when he first sees a baby Mobat. This leads to him completely defusing a tense political situation without even being aware of the problem's existence.
* [[Cyborg]]: DG's substitute robot parents? Gulch once had a crush on Emily after {{spoiler|she kissed him for rescuing the girl}}.
Line 33:
* [[Dramatic Stutter]]: Gulch's brain tends to do this when presented with extremely shocking information or requests. Az solves this by using short words and short sentences.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: DG and Cain. {{spoiler|Az and Gulch}}. Gulch even [[Lampshades]] the similarity between the two relationships later.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys]]: Or rather, mobats.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Gulch. DG sometimes is, but she's had longer to adapt than him.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Though technically written after the "Otherside Encounter," both Gulch and young DG speculate what each other's ideal match would be like in "Tales from the Otherside".
Line 42:
** Also, the traveling storms are T.O.R.N.A.D.O (Trans Ordinate Rotational Nimbus Automatic Displacement Operant)
* [[I Think You Broke Him]]: Dawkins is upset that Az broke Gulch {{spoiler|by saying they were getting married}} and ruining all of his entertainment.
* [[Last -Name Basis]]: Gulch. {{spoiler|At his wedding, everyone (except DG) thinks his first name is Officer}}.
** Wyatt Cain is also like this when Gulch isn't making a new nickname for him.
* [[Last Second Word Swap]]: This is Gulch's style of cursing. The results are hilarious.
