Go Get a Roomie is a comedy webcomic beginning with the wacky hijinx of Roomie, a Shameless Fanservice Girl, and her friends, mainly comprising a gaggle of girls with whom she slept as payment for letting her sleep over at their place, her favorite bartender, and a single prudish friend who could only stare in mild horror at her lifestyle. Soon she meets the introverted, sexless Lillian, or "Lazy Tyke," and what follows is a romance of sorts as they grow closer together.The comic is definitely NSFW. It is published by batlesbo (formally nana-51) on deviantART and, since recently, on its own website. Since the current strip (and hence the main page) may be NSFW, here is the first.
This webcomic provides examples of following tropes:
The Alcoholic/Lady Drunk: Roomie, who despite having what seems to be a pretty decent alcohol tolerance winds up drunk on an astonishingly regular basis (including a highly suggestive ode to beer).
Art Evolution: The art has evolved big time from the early strips.
Attractive Bent Gender: Lillian apparently looks good as a guy, at least according to Ramona and her imagination.
BBW: The Roomie nicknames her chubby friend Guilden because she's "Dark, Strong, irresistible, and wet".
Beneath the Mask: Apparently, being as loved and idolized by everyone as she is get's a little suffocating for Roomie. It's part of the reason she's so drawn to Lillian.
Bi the Way: Allan, definitely. Possibly Roomie, but this is subject to a series of Unreveals, and she's only been seen with women.
Though actually, both of them seem to have pretty high tolerance levels; it's just that sometimes (often, in Roomie's case) they drink way, way too much. The real example of this trope is Lilian, who has a tendency to collapse on the spot not long after ingesting even the smallest amount of alcohol. Well... an even greater tendency than usual, that is.
Cats Are Snarkers: Lillian's cat is very much like a muted form of her owner.
Cerebus Syndrome: After the madcap opening act, and early Fish out of Water strips of Lillian adapting to Roomie's world, the love story becomes both more prominent and more muted, shunting Roomie's manic lifestyle to the side, especially after pressure from the advertisers reduced the frequency of nudity somewhat.
Cool and Unusual Punishment: Roomie's punishment to someone not willing to wake up is covering them up with love bites.
Cooldown Hug: Roomie gives one to Matt to resolve some of the tension that built up between them by strip 24.
Crazy-Prepared: Roomie has left some clothes in peoples' places all over town, so no matter where she sleeps she already has something to wear when she wakes up. Not that she minds just going naked instead.
Does Not Like Shoes: Roomie doesn't seem to like them most of the time. Or pants. Or shirts. Or other sorts of clothing. But even when she's otherwise fully clothed she still doesn't like to wear shoes.
Lillian: (pointing down at Roomie's bare feet) Aren't you forgetting something?
Roomie: I am, aren't I? (comes back in the next panel wearing a headband) NOW I'm ready!
Double Entendre: Roomie needs approximately three seconds to come up with one.
Comes back as a Brick Joke when, at a later point, Lillian is given the option in a game of "Truth or Dare" to either tell the truth of whom her "first" was, or make up a double entendre on the spot, with a time limit on three seconds to make up her mind. She decides to go for the "think like Roomie" approach and delivers a combination of both just as the three second time limit expires.
Drunk on Milk: Roomie apparently gets herself drunk on water. Truth in Television, in that particular types of alcoholic beverages (red wine being a classic example) will leave alcohol in a person's liver; a sudden intake of liquid will thus flush this alcohol out, causing intoxication. Similar effects can occur in heavy drinkers.
Dude, She's Like, in a Coma!: Roomie briefly entertained the thought of thoroughly ravaging Lillian in her sleep, but settled for giving her a kiss on the cheek instead. D'aaawh.
Embarrassing Nickname: Lillians nicknamed "Lazy Tyke" by Roomie. It takes only moments for this to get twisted into "Lazy Dyke".
Even the Girls Want Her: Roomie seems to inspire this where-ever she goes. One character even explained that even though she is straight for the most part, she does make exceptions for shy little virgins who have never known a woman's touch... Roomie is an exception to that exception.
Everyone Calls Him Barkeep: No, it's not the actual barkeep (whose name is Jo), but Roomie herself. As explained in strip 3, it's a shortened for "Room-mate". He real name has not been revealed so far.
Face Palm: It's not like Matt has much of a choice about it.
Hikikomori: Lillian, who sleeps the better part of the day and barely interacts with anyone. Which is why her brother set her up with Roomie in the first place.
Hurricane of Euphemisms: Jo's attempt to explain to Lillian that Roomie is in the back room engaging in lesbian sex.
Just Friends: This is what Roomie prefers her relationship with Matt to be.
Also, it's all that her relationship with Lillian amounts to so far... Let's wait and see!
Lady Killer In Love: Roomie seems to be downright enamored with Lillian. She has definitely spent more time focusing on Lazy Tyke than anyone else in the series.
Also a bit of a deconstruction, as Roomie's larger than life character is shown to leave her a bit lonely deep down, and guilty when people fall for her romantically as she doesn't feel able to return their affections the way they want. It also demonstrates why this trope would be attracted to hikikomori types like Lillian: Lillian, unlike nearly everybody else, does not put Roomie on any sort of pedestal, instead seeing her as a(n often rather irritating) human being.
Master of the Mixed Message: Roomie seems absolutely dumbfounded that some people may misunderstand her sexual antics as anything serious.
Mushroom Samba: Jak and his (unnamed) friend get really high at the party at Aggie's place.
Naked Apron: Sported by Roomie, when she's baking a cake.
Not a Morning Person: Lillian. Not really so much an afternoon, or evening person, either.
Roomie: Aah, what would I give for this to be what anybody would think we're doing if they spotted us right now. Lillian: ?
Only One Name: Every character so far. "Roomie" is not even a name.
Please Put Some Clothes On: Interestingly, it's not the onlooker, but her current lover Aggie who is embarrassed by Roomie's nakedness when she answers the door.
The Pollyanna: Roomie. Nothing can get her down. Even encountering homophobia makes her happy, since it drives lesbians closer together.
The Promise: Aggie promises to never fall in love with Roomie. Take that as you wish.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Roomie and Lillian have the personalities pat, reflected in red and blue color schemes (to the extent color features at all), including "Roomie's" red-tinted real world in contrast to Lillian's blue-tinted dream world.
Sleepyhead: Lillian, as mentioned before. It is heavily implied that sleep is an escape mechanism to her that she resorts to whenever life and/or circumstances starts getting uncomfortable.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Allan has definitely never had dreams about "steamy encounters with pink unicorns and dragons with rows of penis on its back."
Transsexual: Jak, at one time known as Julia, much to Roomie's shock.
Tsundere: Lillian, a Type A, who also mixes it in with a bit of Kuudere. Towards Roomie, obviously.
The Unreveal: When Roomie is asked (somewhat obliquely) in an interview whether she likes men, she purposefully misinterprets the question. When she wakes up having apparently had a threesome with two men, she objects of the straighter one, "he's... Allan!"
Visual Pun: It's revealed Lillian is still unconscious when it's showed that she's talking to talking screws, who tell her "you're screwed."
