History Blog / TheBlackLegionOfTheDarkLordSketchMelkor

* UnusualEuphemism: Actual swears or explicit references to more 'mature' subjects, [[SlapStick except, of course, violence]] and [[BlackMagic violent uses of magic]], are rarely seen on the blog. Instead, '[[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow doing the frick-frack]]' and other such euphemisms are generally used by Sketch and her minions.

* NonActionSnarker: [[http://amyswife.tumblr.com/ Cup]], at first glance, appears to fit this trope perfectly. However, she also [[HiddenBadass punched someone out for degrading feminism]], and seems perfectly fine with opposing some of the weirder aspects of the Legion. Cup also holds the title of Official Dad Joke feat. Cookies. It MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.

* AffablyEvil: While they seem to generally promote the use of curses, torture and other such questionable activities, Sketch also uses her cult to get her followers to [[http://beyonddesolation.tumblr.com/post/67390324185/in-fact-how-about-everyone-who-is-a-member-of-this do good deeds]], and has made it clear that [[CaptainObvious the sacrifices and general violence condoned in some posts is not to be taken seriously]]. It is, after all, a work of parody and not an actual cult.

* AmazonBrigade: [[ValleyGirl Like]], everyone. The majority of the Legion are girls, with the exceptions being Colm, Allen, Wilf and Jay, who is genderqueer. Excluding the latter, they all seem to be somewhere between NonActionGuy and TheSmartGuy, which just accentuates the fact that most of the girls are either [[CuteMonsterGirl unholy]] [[LadyOfWar warlords]] or a variant of FemmeFatale.

* MouthOfSauron: [[http://officialarthurpendragon.tumblr.com/ Ace]], the PA of Sketch, who ironically holds the title of Sauron. She and Sketch seem to go to school together and often complain about one another. Sketch also claims, frequently, that Ace has died and will accept prayers in the form of $10 bills.

Commonly called Sketch, the runner of the blog is recognized by her [[BlindObedience followers]] as [[EvilOverlord Melkor]] from TheSilmarillion and exercises her power in various ways, including [[http://freshprinceofbeleriand.tumblr.com/post/67231630826/okay-so-if-u-are-in-my-cult-i-need-u-to-get-a getting her followers to write the word 'mayonnaise' in sharpie on themselves]].

* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: Jay, [[http://haradrimdrow.tumblr.com/ tumblr user haradrimdrow]], who serves as Gothmog, the balrog lieutenant of Melkor in TheSilmarillion. [[AmbiguousGender They]] are in charge of foreign affairs, and therefore [[AlternateHistory invaded Canada]]. Avoids being TheBrute by also being able to speak French and supposedly deal with things in a peaceful manner - except that they just don't want to.

!!''The Black Legion of the Dark Lord Sketch Melkor'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* BaitAndSwitchLesbians: While there's a bit of this with Sketch and [[HoYay almost everyone involved]], [[http://thesunderingseas.tumblr.com/ Heather]] in particular seems to play with followers' heads. They tag one another in posts complimenting each other, say that they want each others' babies and can be very protective of each other. In the Legion, Heather has the title of Heir to the Dark Throne. While sometimes it's made pretty clear that they're simply friends, there are also posts like [[http://thesunderingseas.tumblr.com/post/66190545430 this one]].

* RuleOfCute: Dakota, in particular, likes cute things. She states her room is the cutest, and "will fight anyone who opposes [her] to the death".

* DarkMistress: Dakota, AKA [[http://princess-dakota.tumblr.com/ tumblr user princess-dakota]] and creator of [[http://most-faithful-servant.tumblr.com/ this blog]] holds the title of Official Lap Candy, and can be described as EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette.
