Ambiguous Disorder is now Diagnosed By The Audience, an audience reaction and was moved to YMMV page


* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Myrracle acts childish and sometimes is lost in her own world.
** Zarpessa seems to be going through some sort of mental breakdown, possibly due to her family going broke.
** Lizzie clearly has PTSD from her MysteriousPast.



* BaitAndSwitch: The accident in which Chris lost his eye begins with Creamy accidentally shining a beam of light from her mirror into his eye while he's on the high wire. It seems this is going to be connected to the eye loss, but while he falls seven storeys, he's perfectly fine... until he bows to the audience and [[TooDumbToLive somehow]] manages to impale his own eye on a decorative sword.

Tookie De La Crème isn't what you would call a conventional beauty: Her forehead is big, her hair is ratty, her body is gawky, and her eyes are two different colors. So naturally, she didn't expect to be picked to attend Modelland, an exclusive school on top of the [[WorldTree world mountain]] where the magical Intoxibellas, women who are a cross between a modern day supermodel and a sorcerer, are trained. It's an opportunity that every other girl in the world would kill for, and somehow, she and three other awkward looking girls have ended up there.

* InvisibleIntrovert: Tookie describes herself as a "Forgeddagirl", being so shy and forgettable that she may as well literally be invisible. So much so that she can literally lie down in the middle of a crowded hallway and [[ExaggeratedTrope people will just walk right over her without giving her so much as a glance]].

You Keep Using That Word is only about characters being called out In Universe for misusing a word.


* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Frequently, Tyra uses words she might have wanted to look up.
** Tookie knows of an "undiscovered platinum mine," even though it's only a mine if people actually perform mining there. If it's undiscovered, it's a platinum deposit and not a mine.
** A group of mysterious obelisks are called "the Obscure Obelisks." But while their reasons for being erected might be obscure, the obelisks themselves are well-known.
** One scene contains "a jungle of tangled barbed plants, boulders, and rotting steel." How steel is supposed to rot when it's not biological matter is anybody's guess.
