Line #5 YMMV/Drawga


1	* AluminumChristmasTrees: Creator/VinDiesel really ''does'' have a (fraternal) twin brother. He's not actually called "Twin Diesel", though.
2	* ContinuityLockout: Season Three was deliberately made to avoid this, by having a mostly stand-alone story. However, it Still has some returning characters, who are never given a proper introduction.
3	* CreepyAwesome: Allhands, a MagnificentBastard with a VoiceOfTheLegion, ''several'' cool designs and an EvilPlan which actually ''worked'' for years before he bit on more than he could chew. General consensus seems to be that he made an excellent final boss for the Ladies Book Club. The players even felt a bit bad for having to kill such an awesome character.
4	* FanPreferredCouple: Ryjinah and Legzi are a fairly popular pairing. It probably helps that neither character have any long-running love interests, and that their LesYay was acknowledged in the show itself.
5	** OneTrueThreesome: Others just take to shipping the entire Ladies Book Club trio with each other. Not ''that'' big of a stretch, as they have a PseudoRomanticFriendship and are ''canonically'' soul mates. Again, the ShipTease was acknowledged in the actual show.
6	* HarsherInHindsight:
7	** The conversation about the possible end of the show between Julia and Caldwell in Episode Five of Season Three. While it got laughs from the players at the time, the [[Creator/{{Dropout}} CollegeHumor]] shutdown really ''did'' mean the end of Drawga for the foreseeable future, and by the time the episode premiered, everyone already knew that to be the case. It took almost a year before any new Drawga content was released.
8	-->'''Julia:''' Do you ever look at your art and go "I should probably stop?"\
9	'''Caldwell:''' That's it for me, folks.\
10	'''Julia:''' I should have stopped before I made this.\
11	'''Caldwell:''' [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor That could be the last one.]]
12	** Ryjinah's dream of becoming an Internet celebrity, briefly reaching that goal, only for people to move on from her and be told by DM Caldwell Tanner that "the legend of Barfgirl is dying before your eyes" unintentionally mirrors the fate of Season Three, which had the highest budget and fastest release schedule in the history of Drawga, only to be CutShort after less than a month. To make matters worse, the above quote appeared in what was then the last episode. Though this is ''very'' much mitigated by WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} surviving the [=CollegeHumor=] layoff as an independent channel, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXeqXZ7b-K0 the announcement that the remaining episodes of Drawga would be released on Youtube, after all.]]
13	** The backstory of Season Three involves a large-scale disaster which -- aside from an implied body count -- also put a dent in the economy and forced many smaller businesses to close down. The UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic [[LifeImitatesArt ended up having a rather similar effect on the world.]] Legzi also ''tries'' to defeat the BigBad with what is essentially a home-made (and likely ''not'' doctor-approved) vaccine. Watching the final episode as it aired on Website/YouTube (almost a year after the season premiered) became rather bittersweet, as it has a HappyEnding where "life starts returning to normal" in Somewherica, which decidedly ''hadn't'' happened yet in RealLife.
14	** The series finale also has the Ladies Book Club experience loneliness after being temporarily and forcibly separated. Then the New York City lockdowns happened, and the cast of WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} would themselves bemoan how they weren't able to hang out together in person anymore. Even after the finale was ([[TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment finally]]) released, it would take an additional five months before the cast could meet up in person again. (Though unlike their characters, they at least weren't stopped from staying in touch by other means.)
15	* HeartwarmingInHindsight:
16	** Quadzo showing up as part of TheCavalry can be this if you've read the WebComic/LadiesBookClub prequel comic, which he spends mostly as a FantasyForbiddingFather. It shows that he's learned from his mistaken and now fully supports his daughter Legzi's chosen career path.
17	** Similarly, Rah'ōxah using happy memories of spending time with her friends, after the comic shows that she actually has ''difficulties'' feeling emotions, [[WhenSheSmiles but managed to smile herself]] after being reminded of a similar memory.
18	** In general, the players portraying their characters as {{Determinator}}s and TrueCompanions, given all the extra work they've gone through to keep WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} running despite the severe setbacks of losing their original employer and having to record episodes over the Internet due to lockdown.
19	* HilariousInHindsight:
20	** The original drawing challenge has the players jokingly ask if there's any DM willing to run a ''Ladies Book Club'' campaign in New York. [[StartMyOwn Seems like Caldwell decided that if he wanted something done, he'd better do it himself.]]
21	** Ryjinah having a crush on Rah'ōxah's SpearCounterpart -- and the real Rah'ōxah [[HasAType having a thing for tieflings]] -- seem to foreshadow Jabob Andrews and Julia Lepetit's later RealLife dating announcement.
22	** In ''Life Of The (Adventuring) Party'', Nathan tells Caldwell that he "should not have a child" after he makes some (hopefully) joking comments about being bothered by how chubby babies are, and offering some... ''[[WouldHurtAChild creative]]'' solutions to this "issue." Between the recording and the rerelease of the episode, Caldwell became a father for real.
23	** Season Three has some reference to Myth/NorseMythology, which Caldwell admitted to being unfamiliar with. Coincidentally, it also has cows wandering a frozen wasteland. The players would later learn that one of the first beings in Norse myth actually ''was'' a cow, who was born from the melting rime of a primordial glacier.
24	* ItWillNeverCatchOn: In the ''Dungeons and Drawfee'' two-parter, the artists repeatedly say that their "Ladies Book Club" characters will probably never be used for anything. They ended up becoming the stars of the longest running story-based show on Webvideo/{{Drawfee}}.
25	* SequelDisplacement: Not initially an issue, as Season Three originally premiered shortly after the Season Two finale, (to the point that ''both'' were advertised on Drawga LIVE.) However, when the former was re-released on Website/YouTube (uncensored ''and'' complete, this time) many viewers confused it for a new show, with some even clamoring for a "second" season.
