History Webcomic / Miamaska

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Subverted. How is it that people from another dimension speak English? They don't. Otherworlders speak and understand [[http://miamaska.tidalcomics.com/index.php?strip_id=33 all languages]].

* AudienceSurrogate: Amity. Clearing up [[http://miamaska.tidalcomics.com/index.php?strip_id=33 plot holes]] and [[http://miamaska.tidalcomics.com/index.php?strip_id=43 odd pronunciation]] galore!

* EasingIntoTheAdventure
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Kit. Just... Kit. Not so much Ket.
* TheFaceless: [[http://miamaska.tidalcomics.com/index.php?strip_id=36 The masked man]].

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Averted. There's a four-day time-skip, during which Amity apparently asked the same questions over and over, but all her previous memories are intact, if fuzzy.

* NaiveNewcomer: Amity.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Amity, Guere, and Trosce.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Averted. Amity acts as an AudienceSurrogate to get proper pronunciation across. Seen [[http://miamaska.tidalcomics.com/index.php?strip_id=32 here]] and [[http://miamaska.tidalcomics.com/index.php?strip_id=43 here]].

''Miamaska'', a webcomic by [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/Jeinu Jeinu]], follows the story of a girl who wound up in another dimension after walking into a [[FlatWhat parking garage]].

* PurpleEyes: The sclera (the "white"), not iris.

* GreenEyes: Kit and Ket.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each character has a unique color for their word baloons, so you can tell who is speaking even if you can't see the speaker.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Amity and Guere.

** The translation effect is part of what Aleco refers to as the [[http://miamaska.com/index.php?pn=109 the "miamaska"]], and either using to listening to is can cause headaches. Amity hears odd echoes of different words at times, shown to the audience as overlapping word balloons with [[http://miamaska.com/index.php?pn=154 different text in them]] (revealed to be alternate translations and/or hidden intent, making the Miamaska an effective lie detector). After Kit and Ket talked to the Masked Man (who is an outworlder named Loric using an actual translator device, possibly indicating that the Miamaska effect isn't universal, since Loric evidently believes the translator is needed [[http://miamaska.com/index.php?pn=78 here]]) [[http://miamaska.tidalcomics.com/index.php?pn=139 Ket comments that he didn't hear the Miamaska effect.]]

** The translation seems to be somewhat unreliable, and may be a form of telepathy.
