6 | A comic full with intelligent and disguised cult references. |
7 | ---- |
8 | !!This comic provides examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AbsentMindedProfessor: Victor Frankenstein is a teacher at the same university as Erik and James, according to the Webcomic/{{Roommates}} continuity |
11 | * AffablyEvil: Dracula whenever a girl (except Mina) is around. |
12 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Almost every character has or is the focus of one or more unrequited loves. |
13 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Invoked. The main characters are adapted in order to make the plot plausible; otherwise it would have all already ended in a bloodbath. |
14 | * ArtShift: Related to the mood of what’s portrayed. |
15 | * BloodBath: Mentioned by Dracula during the Blind Date arc. |
16 | * BishieSparkle: Mostly committed by Jareth (naturally) and Edward in his cameo appearance. Dracula does have his moments, however, and insinuates that it might be a side affect of the time he bit Jareth. |
17 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The brides. Averted to white in Leuca's case possibly to reserve the brunette place either for Mina or Sarah. |
18 | * CompositeCharacter: Dracula is a mixture of almost every Dracula portrayed (including [[Series/SesameStreet Count von Count]], which is mentioned by the very Vlad in the story). Victor stands as a mixture between the literary character and Creator/KennethBranagh. |
19 | * CreatingLife: Quoted by Victor. |
20 | * {{Dracula}}: Vlad, of course. |
21 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Jareth and Dracula. |
22 | * EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Glitter and sparkles are a recurrent topic in these series. |
23 | * EvilMakeover: Dracula, several times. |
24 | * FailureIsTheOnlyOption: This building shares the Fail Field surrounding the one of the other two comics. |
25 | * {{Fanservice}}: Mostly takes place whenever are vampires related. |
26 | * FemmeFatalons: Jareth when showed gloveless. |
27 | * FunWithForeignLanguages: Dracula, so badly |
28 | * GratuitousForeignLanguage: Recurrent. |
29 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: Dracula, Crowley. |
30 | * {{Goth}}: |
31 | ** In terms of general mood since many of the characters are taken out of goth literature. |
32 | ** In fashion terms, one of the brides is designed as a GothicLolita |
33 | * HighCollarOfDoom: Dracula |
34 | ** Erik is also portrayed with one. |
35 | * InsistentTerminology: ''Doctor'' Frankenstein. It isn't quite a BerserkButton...yet...but it does rather peeve Victor when his degree is forgotten. |
36 | * IntercontinuityCrossover: The comic crosses over not only content from the stories the characters are taken from but also the original Webcomic/{{Roommates}} and the Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor spin off. |
37 | * KissOfTheVampire: |
38 | ** Vlad on Jareth. |
39 | ** Also on Mina. |
40 | * LoveHurts: Almost everyone; it seems to be a structural condition of the series. |
41 | * LoveTriangle: Victor-Mrs. Lovett-Sweeny Todd, Mina-Dracula-Jonathan, Sarah-Jareth-Dracula, Dracula-his brides-their victims, … |
42 | * MadScientist: Obviously Victor Frankenstein. |
43 | * MadScientistLaboratory: Victor has mentioned having one. |
44 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: Dracula. |
45 | ** Jareth too can fit here. |
46 | * MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Par for the course in a Webcomic/{{Roommates}} spin-off. |
47 | * MistakenForGay: Jareth every time Dracula is around. |
48 | * MonsterMash: Several characters show inspiration/make reference to the classic Universal horror movies: Frankenstein, Dracula, The Phantom of the Opera... |
49 | * ObliviousToLove: |
50 | ** Arguably, Sweeney Todd to Mrs. Lovett. |
51 | ** Also Victor, regarding his "inmunity" to the Brides' seduction. |
52 | * OminousFog: pages 19-20. |
53 | * OminousOperaCape: Dracula and the Phantom of the Opera. |
54 | * OperationJealousy: Mrs. Lovett starts entertaining Victor's attempts at romance in the hope that Sweeney will notice. It works. |
55 | * PetTheDog: Averted, with Sweeney and the [[KillerRabbit Rabbit of Caerbannog]]. |
56 | * RecursiveFanfiction: This is a ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' SpinOff which is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover [[FanFic fan]][[{{Webcomic}} comic]]... or more precisely a Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor SpinOff which makes it doubly recursive. |
57 | * RescueRomance: Vlad to Sarah. |
58 | * RunningGag: The MistakenForGay between Jareth and Dracula |
59 | * SiblingTriangle: Dracula’s brides. |
60 | * SceneryPorn: Erik’s room. |
61 | * StalkerWithACrush: Almost every man in the story. |

64 | * TheKlutz: Victor shows it in general terms. He once forgot that a scalpel was stuck in his thigh until Erik pointed it out to him. |
65 | * TheRival: |
66 | ** Jareth-Dracula. |
67 | ** It can also be applied to Victor-Sweeney even when we don't know yet if Victor is aware of it or not. |
68 | * ThePornomancer: Dracula |
69 | * TricksterArchetype: Jareth |
70 | * VillainsOutShopping: Dracula updating his wardrobe and holding errands for Victor. |
71 | * VillainProtagonist: Almost the whole cast. |
72 | * WickedCultured: Insinuated on Dracula. |
73 | * YourVampiresSuck: Suggested inner confrontation between Dracula’s vampiric concept, the Vampire Chronicles’ one and Twilight’s one. |
