Line 66:
* [[Fountain of Youth]]: 21-year-old Evan seems to be addicted to spending his off hours as the four-year-old Lily, which does sound like an awesome stress reliever. It's pointed out that such escapism is not entirely healthy, and he's occasionally shown making an effort to improve his adult life.
* [[Freaky Friday]]
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: D.O.L.L.Y. The acronym is never explained, though it has been ''almost'' explained TWICE. They get as far as "Daughters Of" before being cut off.
** Also, [[Gender Bender|T]]andy [[Transgender|G]]ardens.
* [[Furry Fandom]]: Oddly, an in-universe example: A furry fandom is intentionally cultivated and abused by lycanthropes for use in keeping up [[The Masquerade]]. For example, they host a tourist festival / furry convention at "Werewolf Mountain" and encourage people to dress up in fake ears, fursuits and other such getup... which allows the Werewolves to walk around openly shifted without any problems. Some of them even run ''stores'' while fully wolfed-out.
Line 124:
* [[Middle of Nowhere Street]]
* [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Lampshaded.
* [[The Mind Is a Plaything of Thethe Body]]: "Too potent a transformation spell?" [http://thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2006-10-14 "Too potent a transformation spell."]
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Anibelle.
* [[My Nayme Is]]: Pronounced "Chaos", spelled [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|Xaos]].
Line 139:
* [[Open-Minded Parent]]
* [[Opposites Theme Naming]]: Scott Winters and Julie Summers.
* [[Orcus Onon His Throne]]: Xaos does pretty much jack, although this is later explained: He's waiting on Anne to grow up. He's ''farming'' her.
** He's slightly busier when it comes to his own dimension, though he still prefers to delegate the more tedious jobs to his [[The Dragon|Dragon.]]
* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: And in a subversion, the good guys aren't Order.
* [[Orphaned Series]]: The last official story comic was posted [http://www.thewotch.com/?date=2009-08-21 over a year ago], on August 21, 2009. Since then there have been two filler arcs, but no real updates, not even news updates. The forums have been abandoned by the staff, although apparently the artist and writer have mentioned on other forums that the artist is swamped with her college courseload, and there's also apparently an embarrassment factor for having left the comic hanging for so long. In other words, there may be a revival, but it's unlikely at this point.
** In addition, the artist of [[City of Reality]] mentioned in his [http://cityofreality.com/2010/11/01/08-07-thefutureagain/ hiatus posting] that Anne would be working with him on ''City.'' This pretty much places the final nail in the coffin for ''[[The Wotch]],'' although he does mention that the "partnership may go two ways".
** The forums haven't been abandoned, though. They just have a new name: [http://community.910cmx.com/ The 910CMX Community]. And the rebranding might not have as much to do with the Wotch being orphaned as [[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]] joining the 910CMX lineup.
** They've officially returned, though with a [[City of Reality|new artist]].
* [[Our Werebeasts Are Different]] - Includes werecats and [[Werewolves]]
Line 151:
* [[Perky Female Minion]]: Aimee -- a subversion as Aimee used to be male and is ''choosing'' to act out this trope, she even drops out of character to ask Anne to not mess it up for her.
* [[Pettanko]]: Anibelle, who is constantly teased about the size of her, er, "wings and horns" by her much more developed sister Drax.
* [[Pie in Thethe Face]]: ''Cheer!''
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: A variant -- [[Stripperific|Giladrea]], [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-11-07 could you please not walk on your hands?]
* [[Public Domain Character]]: The [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-11-14 Jabberwock] at that. [http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-11-18 Yes, that's a Jabberwock].
Line 176:
** How did we miss the whole point of [[Punny Name|Kirkashi's]] existence as a ninja? [[Naruto|He goes to a ninjutsu dojo named Konoha run by a purple-haired woman named Anko.]] And of course there's his little adventure in the wardrobe...
*** And there's DeFrain's magic red eye he keeps under his eyepatch.
** There's also [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2003-01-03 this one], for [[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]].
*** And [http://extras.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2003-11-13 another], though I think it might count more as a cameo.
*** There [http://www.thewotch.com/?date=2012-02-20 seem] [http://extras.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2004-03-08 to be] [http://extras.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2004-02-25 a lot] of [[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]] shout outs...
** As well as [http://extras.thewotch.com/?date=2005-01-01 this] to ''[[Misfile]]''.
** [[Pokémon|Pika]][http://www.thewotch.com/?date=2003-05-15 chu?]

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: The meaning of D.O.L.L.Y. beyond the first two letters and the origin of Dee's tail.
** Not to mention [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2006-03-20 this].
* [[The Verse]]: Has quite a few spinoffs. Insinuated to take place in the same universe as [[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]], as well.
** [[Jossed]] by Dan Shive for EGS, at least. [[Crossover|The rest though....]]
* [[Tomboyish Name]]: Alex, Jo and Sam, even though their names when they were male were completely different.
