History YMMV / VampireCheerleaders

* BadassDecay: Leonard's fans thought so, after Lori and her coven used [[CoitusEnsues "plan BC"]] on him. After which, he all but became their slave, since Lori made him their thrall. The following arc, he seemed to [[TookALevelInBadass return to form]], when he briefly helped the [[WebComic/ParanormalMysterySquad PMS]] during the prom and, later, helped rescue the cheerleaders from Cressida Harrow - only to revert to merely being an everydude. However, [[WordOfGod according to Adam]], Leonard was never intended to be a badass, he was meant to be [[{{Adorkable}} a geek]] who was [[HeroicBystander occasionally allowed to shine.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Charlotte Roth. A shy one with [[YouthfulFreckles freckles]], who tends to [[IneptMage fumble her magic half the time]] and substitutes botched incantations [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/bring_the_lightning_2 with comicbook]] and movie references.

* EnsembleDarkhorse[=/=]UnpopularPopularCharacter:

** [[TheDitz Suki]] was chosen to represent the cheerleaders' side for the comic's final volume, because she was the one the fans liked most - between her ditzy personality and because she was the nicest toward Leonard.

* FirstInstallmentWins: General consensus is that the first two volumes are worth the pick up due to the art actually looking like something out of a manga and the story beats being easy enough to follow (some character traits notwithstanding). Vol 3 is... decent but most didn't like the art due to losing the original artist and the more rougher designs plus the retconning, wonky character development and very confusing end points. 4 is considered to be where the series goes way too off the rails (Yes the "In Space" moniker admits it, but story wise just felt off and lost a lot of readers) and really nothing more than an after thought.

* RootingForTheEmpire: The larger part of the comic's fandom (on Website/{{Facebook}}) actually favored Lori and her coven of vampires, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_4 despite their actions]], and hated the ''WebComic/ParanormalMysterySquad'', who they saw as a [[KnightTemplar templar knights group]] that were guilty of committing VanHelsingHateCrimes[[note]]The last part was partially true, since Stephanie used to hunt and kill cryptids indiscriminately [[HeWhoFightsMonsters because of what'd happened to her parents.]] By the time of the crossover, however, she had come to accept that [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/my_dark_passenger not all cryptids were inherently evil]], and had changed her M.O. from killing them, to capturing them instead[[/note]]. So you can imagine [[InternetBackdraft how well]] [[BrokenBase they reacted]] to the cheerleaders being cast as the villains (which they ''[[VillainProtagonist always were]]'') during the ''[[RequiredSpinoffCrossover "Vampire Cheerleaders Must Die!"]]'' arc, which concluded with them being [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/prom_aftermath taken into custody by PETM.]]

** Many didn't like Lori even before the merge with ''Paranormal Mystery Squad'', due to turning [[UnpopularPopularCharacter Leonard]] into a thrall, and being an AlphaBitch in general. But when she all but single-handedly curbstomped the PMS crew and near fatally bit [[EnsembleDarkhorse Char]], [[InternetBackdraft the fans lit up]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=457313#p457313 the forums.]]

But when she single-handedly curbstomped the PMS crew and near fatally bit [[EnsembleDarkhorse Char]], [[InternetBackdraft the fans lit up the forums.]]

** Lori stepped higher in this position recently. She already came under a lot of fire before the merge with ''Paranormal Mystery Squad'' due to turning [[EnsembleDarkhorse Leonard]] into a thrall, and just being seen as a unlikeable character by many. But when she bit, and possibly could have killed fellow [[EnsembleDarkhorse Fan-Favorite]] Char, [[InternetBackdraft oh boy did the flames explode...]]

* DudeNotFunny: Katie [[TookALevelInJerkass took a massive level in jerkassery]], during the ''"Adventures in Space... and Time?!"'' arc, where she became unjustly bitchy and abusive towards Leonard [[CrashIntoHello for things that clearly]] ''[[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_view_to_a_kill weren't]]'' [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/blathering_blatherskite his fault.]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=15502 The readers grew tired of it. Fast.]]

** Heather did a swan dive over the MEH in the very first chapter, after choosing to become a vampire. The first thing she did with [[EvilFeelsGood her newfound power]] was turn on her own parents and reduced them to being her mindless slaves. Up to and including [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_10 forcing them]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/heather_gets_a_baby_sister to make her a baby sister.]]

* BrokenBase: Since the strips merged, the fans have been split into two factions, along the exact lines you'd expect (mostly covered in the RootingForTheEmpire entry).

* BadassDecay: Leonard's fans believe he's steadily become a victim of this, ever since the A Squad used "plan BC" on him. After which, he all but becomes their slave, since Lori makes him their thrall. The following arc, he seemed [[TookALevelInBadass return to form]], when he briefly helps the [[WebComic/ParanormalMysterySquad PMS]] during the prom and, later, helps rescue the cheerleaders from Cressida Harrow. But has since gone back to merely being an everydude.
** However, [[WordOfGod according to Adam]], Leonard was never intended to be a badass, he's meant to be [[{{Adorkable}} a geek]] who has [[HeroicBystander occasional moments where he gets to shine.]]

* {{Squick}}: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/leonard_gets_ultra-depressed For Katie]] and some of the readers at the comic's official site, the idea that Steph's been [[spoiler: [[OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace repeatedly mating]] [[HumanoidAlien with the mothmen]]]] is more than a little unsettling.

* BrokenBase: Since the strips merged, the fans are split into two factions, along basically the exact lines you'd expect:
** One side sees the cheerleaders as {{Villain Protagonist}}s, now facing {{Hero Antagonist}}s in the Paranormal Mystery Squad.
** The other sees PMS as a group of DesignatedHero [[KnightTemplar Knights Templar]] in the process of committing VanHelsingHateCrimes.
*** The base is actually broken within the internet. The PMS side that sees the VC as villains that must be stopped is in Pixie Trix Comix's forum boards while the VC camp has its site on the Website/{{Facebook}} page.

** The fans took a shine to Leonard and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/really_lame the Bakertown B squad]], mostly because they have more likable traits in comparison to the Vampire Cheerleaders.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Vol.4 paints Suki, Zoe, and Lesley in a much better light; showing them to be fairly decent individuals. Including treating [[UnpopularPopularCharacter Leonard]] much better than in previous parts of the comic.
* RootingForTheEmpire: The larger part of the comic's fandom (on Website/{{Facebook}}) actually favored Lori and her coven of vampires, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_4 despite their actions]], and hated the ''WebComic/ParanormalMysterySquad'', who they saw as a [[KnightTemplar templar knights group]] that were guilty of committing VanHelsingHateCrimes[[note]]The last part was partially true, since Stephanie used to hunt and kill cryptids indiscriminately [[HeWhoFightsMonsters because of what'd happened to her parents.]] By the time of the crossover, however, she had come to accept that [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/my_dark_passenger not all cryptids were inherently evil]], and had changed her M.O. from killing them, to capturing them instead[[/note]].

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Suki, Zoey and Lesley in the latest arc, where they are shown to be very decent people and treat Leonard far better than Lori or Heather ever did.
