History YMMV / SleeplessDomain

** [[{{WebAnimation/RWBY}} Magical Girl Flash Victim]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The author Cube Watermelon is a noted detractor of RWBY since long before the [[WebVideo/HBomberguy hbomberguy]] video brought RWBY's problems into the public consciousness. In fact, her podcast Anime Slushie originated as a place to talk about RWBY. So, when [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-15-page-11 a shot of Cassidy's team]] showed a girl who looked suspiciously like Weiss Schnee, the reaction was predictable, and when Phoenix Feet (co-host of Anime Slushie) ran the 2020 character poll at least one voter named Weiss as "Magical Girl Flash Victim," after a scene in which Weiss claimed to be a victim in a memetically {{Narm}}y voice.[[/labelnote]]

** "Molly B Denum" for [[Webcomic/KiwiBlitz Techno Blitz]]. As Forty-Two is unlikely to be her actual name, since she's a human and not an android, a silly pun on the 42nd element was adopted as her fanon name.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: ''Sleepless Domain'' follows a similar path as ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' in that it starts off appearing like a standard cutesy magical girl plot only to have reality crash down around the protagonists [[SacrificialLion in the worst way possible.]] Much of ''Sleepless Domain'' is dedicated to how Undine and Tessa try to move past the traumatic event of the rest of their team getting slaughtered during a routine mission.

** Crimes [[labelnote:Explanation]]A fanspeak term for cursed edits or fanart.[[/labelnote]]

** Malee canon! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Malee Phanchaisuwan/Magical Girl Jasmine Bloom is a very popular OC, made by notable fanart creator Krekalie. In one of Cube's Patreon art streams (in which she draws commissions from her patrons), [[https://twitter.com/cubewatermelon/status/1190482261663272960/photo/3 Cube drew art of Malee]]. The fans since joked that this made Malee a canon character.[[/labelnote]]

** "Goops McGee" for the purple entity who [[spoiler:killed Undine's team.]]

* MemeticMutation: "A good night's sleep is the first step to kicking ass."[[note]]At one point, Kokoro says this line. It wound up becoming extremely popular on the series' Discord page, so much so that it won Best Line in a [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/blog/the-goldies poll-based award ceremony]] hosted by a friend of Cagle's. Cagle admits on the results page that she forgot it was actually something said in the comic due to the line's meme usage supplanting it's original context.[[/note]]

* InformedWrongness: She was really rude and judgmental about it, but the red-themed magical girl who yells at Zoe for coming to the school in spite of not fighting has garnered some sympathy, since she's arguably right that it's unfair. The good education is considered a reward (and the classes are organized to fit around magical girls' schedules of fighting at night). The issue is complicated by the fact that even the registration leaflet outright mentions that neither registering nor going to Future's Hope means you are ''obligated'' to take part in the fight.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: ''Slightly''. In the 2019 character poll, Forte Drums received ''no'' votes at all. In the 2020 character poll, she got the highest amount of votes out of everyone in Team Forte (with Forte Lead getting the least amount of characters who weren't write-ins).
* TheScrappy: Team Forte seems to receive the least amount of love from the fandom, to the point they're consistently ranked the lowest in the yearly popularity polls three years running. In 2019, Forte Drums was at the bottom of the poll with no votes. In 2020, Forte Lead was at the bottom with the least amount of votes for characters who were put on the poll.

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced: On July 17, 2020, now affectionately known by the fandom as "Keesmas," the last page of Chapter 15 was released, depicting Undine and Kokoro finally having a BigDamnKiss.

** Zoe scored fifth place in the popularity contest held during chapter 9, scoring just ten votes below Gwen and more than 120 votes above the next character down, Bud. This is despite having had only three appearances over the course of the comic by that point. The next poll has her shoot straight up to 3rd place.
