YU+ME: dream: Difference between revisions

*** Except {{spoiler|her step mom wasn't evil. She may have been frustrated, but deep down, she loved Fiona. [[Word of God]] says she was the first to run into the room, crying, the first time Fiona regained consciousness. So it's not all crap.}}

* [[Animesque]] - Used for {{spoiler|the real-world}} portions of Sadako's story, and for the most part of the early chapters. By the end, Megan has all but completely removed any anime/manga influences.

* [[Art Shift]]: Constantly. After [[The Reveal]] far more so, but even before then there were quite a few different styles on display.

* [[Ascended Extra]] - {{spoiler|Lia was one of these, so that she could get closer to Fiona. However, it's implied that there are serious consequences to her actions. (Read: Imprisonment.) Don is also one of these, but it seems more like a last-minute shoo-in than anything else.}}

* [[Driven to Suicide]] - {{spoiler|Fiona's mom}}, {{spoiler|Fiona}}, {{spoiler|Ellie}}, {{spoiler|the King of Nod}}, {{spoiler|Sadako}} and {{spoiler|Lia, although she wasn't really so much "driven" as semi-murdered}} [[It Makes Sense in Context|(it's complicated)]]. And then {{spoiler|Fiona and Lia again, but in a [[Reincarnation Romance|happier tone]].}} This story seems to love this trope.

* [[Double Standard Rape Female On Female]] - Also subverted. {{spoiler|Sadako believes she is justified in what she does to Ellie, but the consequences for both Ellie and Sadako are fairly unforgiving.}}

* [[Dying Dream]]: {{spoiler|Fiona questions whether everything is a dying dream to her during part 2. Candy asks her if it would make a difference or make it any less real.}}

* [[Easy Road to Hell]]: Sister Mary routinely informs the students of things that will send them to hell. These include jumping on the bed, wearing striped socks to school, and running red lights.

* [[Executive Meddling]] - an in-universe example revealed in flashback wherein {{spoiler|conscience management have concluded Fiona will react better to her conscience if she acts like an ethnic stereotype. Cue hilarious scenes where said conscience struggles to understand Ebonics and complains about her outfit}}.

* [[Eye Scream]] - {{spoiler|The story behind Sadako's eye.}}

* [[Genius Loci]] - {{spoiler|Nod, which won't let its current ruler be [[Klingon Promotion|killed and replaced]] if the replacement isn't suitable.}}

* [[Girls Love]] - Fiona and Lia, arguably {{spoiler|Sarah and Cass}} given their behaviors.

* [[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]].}}

* [[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.}}

* [[Overly Long Name]] - While we knew him as Jake, it is later revealed that his name is a lot longer than we thought [http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1378 (spoiler warning)]. Briefly parodied [http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1208 here] as well.

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

* [[Photo Comic]] - Only for a little bit and only to {{spoiler|artistically separate [[Dream Land]] and [[Real Life]]}}.

* [[Retraux]] - Let's just say that Megan's affinity for the 40s and 50s is not limited to [[I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space|her other comic]].

* [[The Reveal]] - consider the [[Drama Bomb]] list, especially the last one.

* [[Sadist Teacher]] - Nuns, technically.

* [[Sassy Black Woman]] - Fiona's conscience, who is basically a [[Palette Swap]] of her with an afro.
