History Webcomic / TomVsJannanigans

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Janna is a lot nicer in the comic than in her show counterpart, giving emotional support to Tom when he starts crying and feeling guilty when she damages something important to Tom for example. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that the comic is about her developing relationship with Tom, giving her more kinder moments with said character.

Taking place parallel to the series, instead of following the adventures of a safe boy and a magical princess from another dimension we instead follow the adventures of Janna, [[NightmareFetishist Echo Creek's resident abnormal aficionado]] and Tom, [[AscendedDemon the bizarrely saner crown prince]] of the Underworld as the two forge a friendship even more unlikely than that of the princess and the safety boy.

This is '''not''' an AU comic. The story is meant to be running parallel to the canon, main story of ''[=SvtFoE=]'', '''all spoilers from the show will be unmarked.'''

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: With Janna becoming the protagonist, she's in a lot more dramatic circuntances than she was in the show, giving her more emotions to express.

[[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that the comic is about her developing relationship with Tom, giving her more kinder moments with said character.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Tom and Janna barely knew each other in the first three seasons of the show and only become friends around Season 4, here they both have met already in the events of "Blood Moon Ball" and had developed a close friendship during the events of the second season.
* AscendedExtra: A mild example, Mackie Hand has a pretty minor posthumous role in one episode of the series and only appears at the end of the same episode as a ghost , but he becomes an integral character in Chapter 3 which happens in his mind and we are shown more of his backstory and how he actually died.

* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler: Tom and Janna]] share one in the finale.

** Glossaryck and Shawn both had small cameos in "Sir Crandle Doesn't"

* CannotTellFictionFromReality: Mackie Hand got so deep into character that he thought the movie he was acting in was all real and he really was a hero facing against an evil villain. Which ended up killing him when he jumped from a moving car. Tom and Janna helped him realize he's just an actor and he thanked them for helping him regain his sanity. [[spoiler: Now his only problem is that he doesn't realize that he's dead.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: Janna's fascination with the morbid and occult leads to her making a deal with Tom - in exchange for citizenship in the Underworld, she'll help him with his royal duties. Tom [[LampshadeHanging lampshades how making a deal with a devil NEVER ends well]], only for Janna to reveal she's [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/189248081108/previous-page-next-page flipping this trope on its head]]:

* DelayedReaction: During "Once in a Blood Moon," Janna stows away in Tom's carriage via his iron maiden-themed wardrobe. Later, he's rummaging through it to find his tailcoat, only for Janna to hand it to him. He's so caught up in his preparations for the Blood Moon Ball that Janna's presence doesn't register...for ''six whole panels.'' Janna's smug grin when Tom comes storming back to the wardrobe says it all.

* DemotedToExtra: Star and Marco appear once in a while but they barely had any relevance to the plot.

** If you had already watched the series, you know that Star and Tom relationship is destined to fail and that Star and Marco will end up together.
** Also "Hell-bent" is about [[spoiler: Janna going to the Magic Realm to save Tom]] if you had seen this show's GrandFinale you will know he still there, which means FailureIsTheOnlyOption. [[spoiler:The dark unicorn Janna took from the Magic Realm disrupted the All-Seeing Eye after she freed Tom from the remains of the car and used the necklace to jolt his memories]].
** Similarly, after [[spoiler:the Whispering Spell is successfully performed]], Tom tries to find Janna [[spoiler:before she gets trapped on Mewni forever, only for her to disappear back to Earth right before they can take each others hands]].
* HeelRealization: Janna gets a good hard at herself when trying to use the severing stone to remove her feelings for Tom, and after listening to her other self talk about severing Tom's feelings for Star realizes it's not her crush that needs to be severed. It's her selfishness.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Subverted. Janna 'thinks' she fell in love with Tom the moment she saw him and tries to erase that memory with the severing stone. Only for another part of her conscious to tell her feelings aren't down to one single moment with the demon prince, but developed over the course of their whole friendship.

* NoJustNoReaction: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/622266103046045696/previous-page-comic-index-next-page Janna...does NOT approve of]] [[spoiler:the form the Wand initially takes under her hands.]]
-->'''Janna:''' Change it... or ''else.''
* PerspectiveFlip: Takes many episodes of the original show and puts them in the point of view of Tom and Janna
* SimultaneousArcs: "Once in a Blood Moon" happens at the same time of "[[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS1E15BloodMoonBall Blood Moon Ball]]", "Happily Sever’d After" happens in the middle of "[[Recap/StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS4E13CurseOfTheBloodMoon Curse of the Blood Moon]]" and "Hell-bent" happens during the events of the series final arc but they're told from Janna's point of view.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: Tom can't do much but thank his parents for their praise of how well he looked after the kingdom while they were away... because if he admits that Janna did all that for him he'd be getting punished instead.

* AscendedExtra: A mild example, Mackie Hand has a pretty minor posthmous role in one episode of the series and only appears at the end of the same episode as a ghost , but he becomes an integral character in Chapter 3 which happens in his mind and we are shown more of his backstory and how he actually died.
