History YMMV / SisterClaire

** King Michel. Is he a well meaning king who simply doesn't know much about the lower classes like the WordOfGod says or is he genuinely indifferent to the plight of Thorum Mare poorer citizens and needs Oscar and his wife to push him into helping them? Likewise, does he truly love Oscar as his child or did he only accept her because his wife's actions gave him no choice but to acknowledge her? Furthermore, there are multiple unanswered questions about his relationship to Oscar's mother, such as who she was, and did he knowingly send her away pregnant with no support? He had no idea Oscar had been born, so most likely not, but if she was an employee at the palace as some have theorised then the need to keep their relationship a secret may have cost her her livlihood. His relationship with Oscar's mother ended before he and Queen Sylvia had even met, so he's never been unfaithful to his wife at least.

* TheScrappy: Clementine had started to become this to a good majority of readers. While she has an interesting backstory, her unapologetic actions and attitude during her later years really turned a lot of readers against her, feeling she comes off more like a forceful and hypocritical brat then a messiah figure the story is trying to paint her as. Citing that they don't mind if she has flaws, but the fact that she hardly seemed to compromise with a lot of people who were just worried for her and likewise stubborn insistence ended up causing ''a lot'' of problems in the story. [[spoiler: It doesn't help that Claire starts exhibiting these traits in later chapters though hope at the least this time, she'll learn where her previous incarnation failed.]]
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some readers, specifically older ones who read the comic since it's early days, liked the more quirky tone in the beginning and find current tone very off putting as they feel it betrayed expectations and sucked most of the fun out of the story thanks to newfound AuthorAppeal. This didn't get any better when the updated pages were posted as said fans felt betrayed even further.

* EvilIsSexy:
** Sister Cat.
** Also [[http://yamino.deviantart.com/art/EvilCat-Gabrielle-Wallpaper-128891459 this Gabrielle picture]]. [[LampshadeHanging "Apparently being possessed by Evil Cat increases your sexiness by X 10!"]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The reveal that witches suppressing their magick can result in mental and physical degradation that eventually leads to painful death, which is a much better reason for using magick even though it draws the attention of Shards than the "being true to yourself" moral that Clementine gave Oscar.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Any and all scenes that focuses on romance, family or friendship is designed to be as sappy as possible.

* ContinuityLockOut: A controversial aspect of ''Missing Moments'', which was originally created to be supplementary to the main comic, is the fact that it has effectively become the main source of story and character development due to its consistent and plot heavy updates allowing it to eclipse the glacial slow pacing of the comic. Additionally, the comic has introduced many characters and storylines from ''Missing Moments'' with little to no proper introduction or foreshadowing and a large number of major plot points of the comic have been resolved in the pages of the ''Missing Moments'', meaning you must follow both series to fully understand the plot.

* WatchedItForTheRepresentation: The comic started to garner this reputation after the author, Yamino, came out as as a lesbian and her partner joined in on writing the story. Even moreso when a good majority of the cast turned out to be gay, bi or trans. Yamino herself is a major advocate for gay pride on Website/{{Twitter}}, so that likewise helped.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: LGBT people deserve as much compassion and respect as their counterparts. Failing to give it to them hurts both the LGBT community and society as a whole.

** The comic's named cast is almost entirely made up of LGBTQIA+ characters, and it talks a fair bit about LGBT issues. The degree of subtlety varies but it's usually pretty transparent when the authors want to take some time to discuss opression.

** Witches are used as an allegory for the opressed, particularly the queer community, and as such magick is depicted as an almost entirely positive thing which faces prejudice from bigots. In fact, suggesting that witches shouldn't use magic is akin to telling a gay person to stay in the closet and witches who suppress their magical abilities, either willingly or by force, has been shown to suffer from life threatening degradation.

* {{Woobie}}: Claire. Her younger self, especially.

** King Michel. Is he a well meaning king who simply doesn't know much about the lower classes like the WordOfGod says or is he genuinely indifferent to the plight of Thorum Mare poorer citizens and needs Oscar and his wife to push him into helping them? Likewise, does he truly love Oscar as his child or did he only accept her because his wife's actions gave him no choice but to acknowledge her? Furthermore, there are multiple unanswered questions about the extent of his infidelity, such as what was his relationship with Oscar's mother, did he knowingly send her away pregnant with no support? His relationship with her ended before he and Sylvia were a couple, but since their marriage was arranged he was probably at least engaged to her at the time.

** The comic talks a lot about LGBT issues and is usually about as subtle as a heart-attack when it does.

** Witches are used as an allegory for gay people and minorities, meaning that magick will almost never be put into a negative light and people who don't want them using magick are seen as misguided or bigots. In fact, suggesting that witches shouldn't use magic is akin to telling a gay person to stay in the closet and witches who suppress their magical abilities, either willingly or by force, has been shown to suffer from life threatening degradation.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The reveal that witches suppressing their magick can result in mental and physical degradation that eventually leads to painful death, which is a much better reason for using magick than the "being true to yourself" moral that Clementine gave Oscar.

** The reveal that [[spoiler:Maman and Captain Josephine]] might still be alive, as well as the introduction of [[spoiler:Nib and Magpie]] into the main comic. While some like the connections between the comic and ''Missing Moments'', others are annoyed that the story is continuing focusing on Clementine's life and friends instead of creating new characters for Claire to interact with.

** Oscar and Catherine's relationship veers towards this for a small number of readers.[[spoiler: They met each other in their early teens and their relationship involved a mutual crush almost from the offset, but before long Catherine is informally adopted by Maman. They very clearly have never seen each other as siblings, nor do any other characters view them as such, so their situation growing up generally comes across as 'teenagers who happened to live in the same orphanage', but them having a shared adoptive mother means they skew too close to adoptive siblings for comfort in the minds of some readers.]]

** The excessive focus on homosexuality and gender identity. While most fans like the character development and do praise the comic for tackling such issues, others feel these focuses have overstayed their welcome and a major stall to the MythArc of the story with Yamino and Ash are just beating us over the head with it by now, bordering on AuthorAppeal.
** The [[http://www.sisterclaire.com/comic.php?id=280 reveal]] that Sister Oscar is [[spoiler: transgender.]]

* LesYay: The author comment even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it [[http://www.sisterclaire.com/comic.php?id=56 here]]. Also can carry into TwinCest between Rosalie and Marie.

** The Twins crush on Oscar becomes a tad squicky with the reveal of [[spoiler:them being her little sisters. And worse, WordOfGod says the two of them don't know their real relationship to her.]]

Furthermore, there are multiple unanswered questions about the extent of his infidelity, such as what was his relationship with Oscar's mother, did he knowingly send her away pregnant with no support, how many other mistresses did he have, and exactly when did he stop cheating on his wife?

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Catherine and Gabrielle know the full story about what happened to Clementine but they won't talk about it because the memories hurt them too much, which is why [[NiceGirl Claire]] won't press them for answers. Considering that the two manipulated and lied to Claire for her entire life, them choosing not to be open with what they know due to them not wanting to bring up painful memories makes them look more selfish than sympathetic.

* ContinuityLockOut: A controversial aspect of ''Missing Moments'', which was originally created to be supplementary to the main comic, is the fact that it has effectively become the main source of story and character development due to its consistent and plot heavy updates allowing it to eclipse the molasses slow pacing of the comic. Additionally, the comic has introduced many characters and storylines from ''Missing Moments'' with little to no proper introduction or foreshadowing. Similarly, a large number of major plot points of the comic have been resolved in the pages of the side series.

** It's also not helped that the comic seems to drag the story out as long as it can. There are an excessive number of pages where nothing happens or characters having conversations where only one person speaks per page.

* ContinuityLockOut: While the main comic moves along a snail's pace, the bulk of character and story development happen in side stories of the better paced ''Missing Moments''. So as the events of the two series begin to intertwine more and more, it's beginning to become necessary to be reading the side stories to fully understand the events of the comic. This has becomes a bit of a complaint with some readers, citing that, at best, Missing Moments should be a supplementary piece to side stories about the characters to give more context for them, not an out for the authors to use if Yamino isn't up to the task of drawing plot points for her comic (especially if she plans on making volume sets and selling them. There's generally a reason most comic book fans aren't keen on tie-ins to mainstream comics).
