YU+ME: dream: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

Things just aren't going well for Fiona. She has a [[Missing Mom|dead mom]], a father who is always on business, a [[Wicked Stepmother]], no friends at the Catholic high school, and none of the nuns believe that she's being picked on by [[Alpha Bitch|Sarah and Cass]]. So she begins to not pay any attention to anything around her, instead living in her own head in vivid, lucid dreams.

 

Up until the end of issue 9, readers thought this was a case of [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]] living in [[Teen Drama]]. Issue 9 dropped a TON of [[Drama Bomb|drama bombs]].

 

 

Part Two begins with more of an explanation and then Fiona {{spoiler|finds a way back to [[Dream Land]] to search for Lia}}.

----

* [[Age-Appropriate Angst]] - Young Fiona

* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]: Mercilessly deconstructed, and then reconstructed. The end of the dream is when the real story begins, and the reader follows Fiona while dealing with the very real psychological effects it had on her. Fiona then decides to try, and succeeds, at getting back to the Dream World to pursue the only happiness she knew, even while being aware that what she will find will be different from the fantasy she lived...}}

* [[The Dragon]] - {{spoiler|No-Face.}}

* [[Drama Bomb]] - Many of these are in Part 1: Issues 1 - 8, but Part 1: Issue 9 definitely takes the cake on this. The ending of this issue is a total drama bomb, which was a [[Wham! Episode]] to all, but to some it was ridiculous, to some it was [[Fridge Brilliance]] after a few months, [[Your Mileage May Vary]] indeed.

** They continue in part 2 after a while. Lia's history, like {{spoiler|the fact that she's bisexual, as well as the evil deeds when she committed as "Mara" when Sadako locked up her conscience}}, being a prime example.

* [[Dream Land]] - {{spoiler|where Part 1 takes place. Fiona returns in Part 2 to look for Lia.}}

* [[Have a Gay Old Time]] - Fiona doesn't understand what Jake means when he says he's "gay" at first.

* [[Homoerotic Dream]] - Fiona has one in Part 1: Issue 3, causing her to fear that she might be gay, as well as worrying how Lia will feel about the dream. {{spoiler|Ellie not so much has them as she has [[Mind Rape|Sadako inflict them on her]].}}

* [[I Never Got Any Letters]]

* [[Jerkass]] - {{spoiler|Sebastian, the guy who played Jake.}}

* [[Jive Turkey]] - Oddly enough, Fiona's conscience, in the Part 1: Issue 1. By Issue 2, she still speaks in ebonics, but noticeably toned down.

* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]] - {{spoiler|Lia when she lost her conscience, especially compared to Sadako's relatively benign reaction to losing her conscience. Granted, [[Love Makes You Evil|Sadako wasn't exactly a paragon to begin with]], but she never fell near as far as [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The Terrible Mara]].}}

* [[Klingon Promotion]] - {{spoiler|A new king or queen of Nod must kill the old one. However, Nod seems to have a will of it's own, and if it doesn't want the killer to be the new ruler, then it simply won't let the old ruler die.}}

* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]] - One of the early top banners (it has since changed). Description: {{spoiler|Not only does it state that Fiona and Lia are in love with each other, it ''also'' implies that they both like girls, sort of ruining the whole [[Coming Out Story]] part for new readers.}}

* [[Lipstick Lesbian]] - both Fiona and Lia

* [[Meaningful Name]] - Fiona's mom, who is already dead at the start of the comic, was named Angel.

* [[Mind Screw]] - We can see the writing on the wall in the ending of Part 1: Issue 9, but from Part 2: Issue 1 onward, Yu+Me is ''absolutely insane''.

* [[Missing Mom]] - Fiona's mom {{spoiler|committed vehicular suicide}} with {{spoiler|Fiona in the car}}.

* [[The Mole]] - {{spoiler|Sadako}} and {{spoiler|Lucy, who was made sympathetic by having been coerced into it and by trying to act as a [[Double Agent]] in favor of the protagonists}}.

* [[No Bisexuals]] - Averted. {{spoiler|Don was confirmed as bisexual via a bonus strip in the back of the 2nd book and Lia was confirmed as bisexual in Part 2.}}

* [[Out-of-Clothes Experience]] - Fiona naked when {{spoiler|she first returns to the dream world}}. This could be a CMOF since she didn't realize until some guy pointed out much to her embarrassment. And that her conscience told her she didn't have to be naked.

{{quote|'''Fiona''': "Geez! I'm naked?! Stupid symbolic nudity!"}}

* [[Shaggy Dog Story]] - The end of part one arguably turns the comic into this, [[Your Mileage May Vary|for some]]

* [[Shout-Out]] - tons, see the webcomics page of this trope for a list

* [[Soft Glass]] - Completely averted. {{spoiler|Sadako}} died being tossed through a glass window.

* [[So Happy Together]] - Fiona goes to prom and is very happy because she gets to be with Lia when a [[Drama Bomb]] goes off...

* [[Teen Drama]] - given the list of 10 [[Drama Bomb|drama bombs]] above and that the story's main characters are teens or {{spoiler|at least ''play'' teens in dreams...oh 400 year old Lia}}...it's rather obvious that Part 1 is a total [[Teen Drama]]

* [[Thanatos Gambit]] - {{spoiler|Basically, the entire plot is Sadako trying to commit suicide.}}

* [[Tomato Surprise]] - {{spoiler|Part One is [[All Just a Dream]]}}

*** Actually, make that everything from 2-11 onwards. With the ending coming soon, there's bound to be more.

* [[Wicked Stepmother]] - Fiona has one {{spoiler|According to the [[Word of God|author]], she's [[Inverted Trope|actually not that bad; Fiona just perceives her as "wicked"]]}}.

* [[Yandere]] - {{spoiler|Sadako, to a T. She looks innocent enough, but man that girl has some issues.}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] - Jake has green hair, Sadako's hair is purple-ish, Fiona's hair is naturally two-toned, Don's hair is just... funky {{spoiler|because he's of a humanoid race who's hair changes every day, Lucy can change heads so it's inevitable for her, Clandestine/Himitsu ''was'' brunette but losing Sadako drove her insane and made it turn blue, and Fiona's disguises consisted of brown-green hair and pink-purple hair. This series likes this trope a lot.}}
