YMMV / Drawtectives

• Accidental Innuendo:
  • "Tizza" — the local pizza-equivalent served at Hucky Heese. It was bad enough that Nathan Yaffe immediately retconned it to "beeza" (made from real bees, very spicy) after realizing what it sounded like when said out loud.
  • "Ghost nut milk", which was meant to simply be almond milk for ghosts.
• Angst? What Angst?:
  • Our protagonists point out that Harper Justice doesn't seem very sad about the death of her father, but admit that people handle grief differently. She eventually admits that she never liked him that much anyway. Her brother Emery is not much different, blaming his life as a ranger on his lack of emotion.
  • Overall, the partygoers — with the exceptionell of Lotta — are very nonchalant about there being a murderer in their midst. This makes Grendan suspect that they were all in on the murder.
• Awesome Art:
  • The show has been described as the most elaborate project ever made for Drawfee and it shows. Julia Lepetit's love of Scenery Porn is on full display here.
  • Karina Farek's epilogue illustrations are also quite beautiful.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Don Jovi wasn't the last Drawfee character who had to work for experience without actually getting paid. The Ladies Book Club would later have to deal with the same thing. For them, it was an actual source of frustration and not something which could be easily shrugged off.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In the penultimate episode of Season One, Nathan Yaffe suggests using "ghost defect juice" to ward off unwelcome spirits. It ended up being released on YouTube only two days after the Grand Finale of Drawga, in which he tried (unsuccessfully) to use "anti-demon juice") against the Big Bad, leading to jokes about him being obsessed with juice-based solutions to supernatural problems.
• I Am Not Shazam: Played for Laughs. The word "Drawtectives" is never actually used in the show. Our heroes only ever refer to themselves as the detectives, and are perplexed that anybody would call them anything else... until the One-Shot Stream, where they do finally adopt that name.
• Tearjerker: The ultimate fate of the Justice family. Not only is Sorin dead but he was killed by his own son, Emery, who felt like he had never given him enough support. Lotta has to live with the grief of losing both her husband and her son, as well as coming clean to her daughter Harper — who already has other things to angst about — about their financial situation. Overall, the crime being solved feels like a Bittersweet Ending at best, and there isn't much about it that actually improves the situation for the Justices.
