Line #64 YMMV/TouhouDoujinDawitsusFolly


1	[[AC: Entire Series]]
2	* {{Adorkable}}: Dawitsu is the typical lovable geek; obsessed with collecting things, awkward about the issue of love, selfish at times and somewhat intelligent, yet when it comes to being a good friend or being altruistic, he'll never let you down.
3	* FanPreferredCouple: In a fanfic, believe it or not. Some reviewers of Dawitsu's Recompense expressed that Dawitsu and [[TheNotLoveInterest Yutaka]] should be together. One reviewer (most likely [[ForTheLulz sarcastically]]) suggested an [[OneTrueThreesome OT3]] of Dawitsu, Yutaka and Alice. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/r/7712756/0/1/ The review is here, for Chapter 24.]] Also, an [[OneTruePairing OTP]] between [[{{Adorkable}} Dawitsu]] and [[ShrinkingViolet Ran]] has apparently been desired from one reviewer since the first book. [[spoiler:It ends up happening.]]
4	* GrowingTheBeard: Some would say Dawitsu's Recompense is the start of a significant leap in writing technique by the author.
5	* PlatonicWritingRomanticReading: ''{{S\|arcasmMode}}ure,'' Dawitsu and Yutaka are just friends. ''Sure,'' the [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] is one-way...
6
7	[[AC: Dawitsu's Folly]]
8	* CargoShip: Aya and her press. {{Squick}}.
9	* TheWoobie: Ran. [[spoiler:She is reportedly abused by Yukari, taken for granted and treated as inferior to Yutaka by Dawitsu, and is almost made to be a bargaining chip as part of Dawitsu's plan to get Yutaka back.]]
10
11	[[AC: Grimoire of Dawitsu]]
12	* CargoShip: Dawitsu seems to be onto Aya's overly-affectionate treatment of her press...
13	* GeniusBonus: Several of the more scientific-sounding sections are based on high-level scientific principles, and even some of the more basic sciences go into such detail that it can be hard to keep up.
14	* MemeticMutation: The sheer amount of memes mentioned is practically innumerable in this book.
15
16	[[AC: Holiday Edition]]
17	* StrangledByTheRedString: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With.]] [[spoiler:Sakuya and Dawitsu certainly seem to be playing this straight, however, a big subversion comes in at the end, in which Dawitsu decides it's better if they are simply FriendsWithBenefits. This is further played with by Recompense, in which Sakuya breaks up with Dawitsu because she's found someone who takes her seriously, which triggers the entire events of Recompense...]]
18
19	[[AC: Dawitsu's Recompense]]
20	* MemeticMutation: Ran and Chen are looking for a manual as they do not know how to play the game. How do they know of a manual's existence? Dawitsu once said "[[VideoGame/HotelMario If you need instructions on how to get through the hotels, check out the enclosed instruction book.]]'
21	* {{Moe}}: Flandre Scarlet has a ton of Moe moments. That, and [[spoiler:Yutaka in a [[ElegantGothicLolita Gothic lolita]] outfit, complete with {{Nosebleed}} courtesy of Dawitsu.]] The Author {{lampshade\|Hanging}}s how Moe his depiction of Flandre in the Author's Notes of chapter four.
22	* OneSceneWonder: The Dawitsu Chibi clones that assist Marisa [[spoiler:in her battle against Reimu.]]
23	* StrangledByTheRedString: Finally brought full-circle after Holiday Edition and {{Deconstructed\|Trope}}. After [[spoiler:ending Holiday Edition as FriendsWithBenefits, Sakuya breaks up with Dawitsu as she's found someone willing to have a committed relationship with her.]]
24
25	[[AC: Jean's Magical Education]]
26	* AngstWhatAngst: Dawitsu actually ''makes a joke'' about his near-death experience in the last book, which actually surprises himself.
27	* GeniusBonus: Byakuren's 'whirling snake' dream is actually a reference to how the scientist responsible for figuring out the structure of Benzene had his EurekaMoment.
28	* HollywoodPudgy: Kaguya apparently gets fat from all her inactivity. She dies of a thrombosis, but due to her {{Immortality}}, she comes back to life, and gets fat again. So Eirin and Reisen force her to go running and lose a bit of weight.
29	* TheWoobie: [[spoiler:Good lord, Ran again, and the reason why's only mentioned within the last two chapters, but suddenly a lot more things in the series makes sense... Ran is, and has been for a while, in love with Dawitsu... so she's had to deal with Dawitsu going after Sakuya and pining over Yutaka for God knows how long... POOR RAN!]]
30
31	[[AC: The Forbidden Love of Yukari Yakumo]]
32	* CrackPairing: Sexy!Dawitsu and Idiot!Yukari... when Dawitsu quite clearly sees Yukari as a rival/enemy, and Yukari sees him as a nuisance/idiot.
33	* DesignatedHero: Why is it that Dawitsu and Yukari are in the right when Yutaka's been cheated on? Beyond Tokage's narration claiming this love is 'true love'? Also, once Yutaka ''is'' indisputably evil, Yukari doesn't really... do much that's heroic.
34	* FauxSymbolism: Sunflowers... flowers in general being a running motif... reeks of pretentious writers' attempts at symbolism.
35	* HoYay: Rapist!Aya and Rapist!Satori both try it on with Idiot!Yukari.
36	* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: [[spoiler:Hachuurui's 'death' is received by reviewers with extreme cynicism, reviewers ''knowing'' that Tokage would ''have'' to bring her SelfInsert back...]]
37	* OneTrueThreesome: [[spoiler:The ending is basically Idiot!Yukari, Inexplicably resurrected!Hachuurui, and Sexy!Dawitsu all being together in a massive threesome. The end.]]
38	* SoBadItsGood: Dawitsu finally decides to stop bitching about the awful quality of Tokage's story and instead enjoy it for the easy-to-poke-fun-at crap that it is...
39	* TheWoobie: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] Tokage is someone who desperately wants to write a book, and does. However, practically everyone who reads it hates it, and the one person who does like it ends up hating it also, with most of the copies being bought for the sole purpose of creatively destroying them (if the reviews of the final chapter are anything to go by). She loses her friends over it, and she alienates everyone she tries to become friends with with her social awkwardness, and [[spoiler:goes through an unseen, unspeakable torture from Yuuka that leaves her clearly traumatised]]. At the same time, she mostly deserves all the crap she goes through, and is a genuinely pompous, pretentious, sex-obsessed moron, yet most would agree she didn't deserve the latter trauma...
40
41	[[AC: The Misadventures of Yukari Yakumo]]
42	* CreepyAwesome: {{Discussed\|Trope}} by Hebiko in the Author's Notes, directed at Yutaka's performance when she first met Reimu and Marisa, saying she'd love to play up her creepy side like that.
43	* FridgeLogic: The narrator has this regarding Yuyuko's [[BigEater gluttony]]... she realizes she doesn't actually need to eat because she's a ghost...
44	* GeniusBonus: This 'definition'; ' her agreement with Dawitsu had made it infeasible- a word which here means 'of positive Gibb's Free Energy'' refers to an equation in the field of chemistry relating Standard Entropy, Standard Enthalpy Change, Temperature, and the feasibility of chemical reactions.
45	* JerkassWoobie: Arguably the narrator, on accounts that she lost something she was hoping to raise into an adopted child, yet still does highly morally questionable acts, such as MindRape.
46	* SoOkayItsAverage: The reaction of Momiji to the book, admitting it's far better than [[SoBadItsGood Tokage's]], but at the same time can't see it being marketable.
47
48	[[AC: Yutaka's Big Fat Youkai Wedding]]
49	* GeniusBonus: This speed; 'running from the awkward situation faster than a cathode ray' isn't actually that fast, and most people can run faster than a Cathode Ray.
50	* HoYay: A little between [[spoiler:Merlin and Youmu]], if you read between the lines. As well as, you know, the ''freaking girl on girl wedding the book centers around''
51	* StrangledByTheRedString: [[spoiler:Ran and Dawitsu. The end of their WillTheyOrWontThey was not exactly well-done.]]
52
53	[[AC: The Epilogue]]
54	* TearJerker: The ending... [[spoiler:Yukari and Yuyuko accept the series has ended, and sing 'We'll meet again', while the other characters hear it in their hearts, and seemingly accept their time is up as well...]]
