YMMV / Eerie Cuties

Go To

  • Adorkable: Ace is just so awkward and insecure around other people that his pitifulness becomes endearing.
  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Was the Ninaganger an incompetent monster? Or it was a result of channeling Nina's mentality?
  • Awesome Ego: Layla. It sometimes feels like half her dialogue consists of her boasting about how awesome she is. No one's complaining, though.
  • Badass Decay: Queen Quintessa is initially a huge threat, yet Nina and Tia invade her subconscious right under her nose, and she's assimilated back into Layla's mind with little fanfare.
  • Base-Breaking Character: Really, you won't find many characters who haven't alienated some fans, at some point.
    • Layla's fans like her due to her Jerk with a Heart of Gold nature and her capability for true acts of kindness. Her detractors just find her a straight up Jerkass and Designated Hero.
    • Nina is also extremely polarizing. She's either loved for her naivety and willingness to openly show affection (in contrast to Layla's Tsundere personality), or she's loathed for how childish and annoying she is. Made moreso, since it was usually either her sister or Ace, who suffer from her actions.
    • Tiffany is either a cute Plucky Girl whose epic fails to kill a monster are always good for a laugh, or a one-note side character who is even more annoying than Nina.
    • Ace is rather divisive. While some readers see him as a nice guy who has to put with Nina's antics and empathize with his constant state of misery and self-loathing, others find him to be too normal compared to his wacky friends and detest him for his conspicuous lack of a backbone.
    • Some fans love Tia's cute design and her ability to stir up drama and tensions in Volume 3, while others believe that she is a completely unenjoyable character and consider her a completely unnecessary addition to the comic.
    • Blair is quite possibly the most controversial character of the series. His unique take as a hammy Panty Thief split the fandom over those who found it hilarious and those who thought he was the most annoying gimmick in the series and just wanted him gone. Then there's the fact he's a Dirty Old Man in the body of a doll who likes harrassing girls, which put a lot of people off.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • Epileptic Trees: Little is known about the principal at Charybdis, but the inclusion of dolls, like the one in the Artemis principal's office and the ones the CH principal uses to contact the Hellrunes, has lead some to speculate that she may be a doll, herself.
  • Fan Nickname: A large portion of the fandom insists on using the name "Grace" for Ace since he became a girl, even though he's never been called that in strip, or even been addressed with female pronouns.
  • Fanon: Blair's behavior in these two strips lead to years of speculation that Nina was Queen Lamia's reincarnation. It was finally put to rest when it was revealed that he'd been wrong. It was Layla.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Even though Layla is canonically straight, fans were still hoping she'd hook up with either Brooke, or Tiffany. But after Tiff officially said it wasn't happening, the fans hoped there was still a chance of Layla pairing up with Brooke. Even if it meant Layla being taken over by Queen Lamia's persona and enthralling Brooke to make it happen.
  • The Scrappy:
    • Blair. A large number of fans have a serious dislike for him, some even going so far as to avoid reading chapters in which he plays a prominent role, or even dropping the series because of his existence. The reason generally stems from the fact he's a Dirty Old Man and a Panty Thief. Despite his genuine concern for Layla and Nina, he mostly groped and harrassed every female in sight. So the readers and the cast themselves were glad to finally be rid of him when when Tia took him away in the final chapter.
    • Kade and Dio both became universally despised by the readers, due to their actions in the aforementioned story (note under Never Live It Down), leaving Ace and Ash as the only legitimately nice guys in the comic.
  • Too Good to Last: The news that both Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks would soon be going on indefinite hiatus was met with much disappointment by its readership.
