Unicorn Jelly: Difference between revisions

''Unicorn Jelly'' has ended, but Reitz is drawing an independent sequel, ''Pastel Defender Heliotrope'' (now also completed), and a related [[Alternate Universe]] story, ''To Save Her'' (now also, also completed). These comics all share a common... [[The Multiverse|multiverse]], a [[Science Fiction]] setting made up of many worlds, each with [[Another Dimension|completely distinct physical laws]] and in no way similar to the others. (And then each universe has ''its own'' [[Alternate Universe|parallel worlds]], which are subtly different, and... it gets complicated). Our own universe is occasionally mentioned as the original home of humanity, but is never visited in the comics.

 

----

* [[After the End]]

* [[All There in the Manual]] - The extended author notes, including Reitz's descriptions of alternate realities. Say what you will about her, she can think up some really odd universes.

* [[The Blob]]

* [[Brother Chuck]] - ''The title character''. Uni returns in ''To Save Her'', though. {{spoiler|For a little bit, anyway.}}

* [[Cerebus Syndrome]] - It all started so nicely.

* [[Con Lang]] - Very detailed and imaginative [http://unicornjelly.com/alt37.html Talcrylic] [http://unicornjelly.com/uni126b.html Script].

* [[Continuity Creep]] - It all started so simply.

* [[Corrupt Church]] - see also Anvilicious.

* [[Emotionless Girl]] - Chou, whose mind has been replaced by the crystalline version of cybernetics.

* [[Exact Time to Failure]] - Done right before {{spoiler|Stormfall}} with a handy on screen countdown.

* [[Hatedom]] - More people know of Reitz from the troll "reviews" of her works than her actual works.

* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]

* [[Identity Amnesia]] - Chou, at one point

* [[It Got Worse]] - Too many times to count.

* [[Karma Houdini]] - Too many to count, but {{spoiler|Texto/Virtue, Chou, Pho, and Kaye}} stand out.

* [[Logic Bomb]] - The Jellies, having evolved in and for a static universe, do not handle change well. {{spoiler|1=A major part of Chou's plot involves dissecting KayWai, who is a mutant and hybird red/green organism, and learning how to infect the various slimes with the ability to adapt.}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]] - {{spoiler|Chou. She intentionally fakes emotions to keep Lupiko from stopping her, goes out and creates an army by [[Mind Rape|mindraping]] the entire Jelly population of her new worldplate, and, when confronted by Redcloak about how much power she's aquired, simply retires -- since she's going to live for a very, very long time, she can simply wait for them to die of old age.}} Also {{spoiler|Kaye Haychold}}.

* [[Meaningful Name]] - Chou's name means "Butterfly." Redcloak and Fodderman were supposed to be jokes on [[Red Shirt]], which was then subverted in the comic.

* {{spoiler|[[Timey-Wimey Ball]]}} - Most obviously seen in Pastel Defender Heliotrope, towards the end. ESPECIALLY the last two chapters.

* [[Transplanted Humans]]

** KayWai is actually a little weirder than that, since the jellese (in the 'main' splay) are sexless. And the KayWai of To Save Her is pretty explicitly trans-species.

* [[Unsound Effect]]

* [[Unusual Euphemism]] - Farg

* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: You pretty much have to have a brain like Chou's to follow the massive plot complexity and transdimensional physics of what started as a simple story of a witch and her blob.

** At one point early in the comic's life, the author revealed that everything that had been shown so far would be enough to guess at what the overall plot was going to be, and she invited readers to e-mail her their guess. A few fans got it exactly right.
