* AnythingThatMoves: Juniper. Apparently a normal behavior for young dryads. {{Lampshaded}} by those lines:
-->'''Zaruda:''' That, Juno my dear, is because you’ll fuck anything that moves.
-->'''Juniper:''' That just isn’t true. Only sentient beings whom I don’t actively dislike. I have ''standards''.

''[[http://tiraas.wordpress.com The Gods Are Bastards]]'' is a WebSerialNovel by D. D. Webb, updating every Monday and Wednesday (and sometimes Friday). It is described as "a HighFantasy {{Western}}" by the author, although the HighFantasy tends to come through more consistently than the {{Western}}.

The story begins focused on a group of eight freshmen (a dryad, two paladins, a half-demon, a possessed human, a drow, a pixie, and a pirate princess) attending a [[ExtranormalInstitute school for adventurers]]. The scope expands rapidly from there, quickly introducing a number of secondary plots involving demons, religion, politics and an increasingly large cast of individuals and organizations vying over the fate of an empire.

* JerkassGods: Hinted at by the title, although so far the gods seem to be mostly doing their best. Some of them never wanted to be gods in the first place... and it shows.
* JustifiedTrope, of all things: [[spoiler: The Elder Gods were massive nerds drawing from a quite [[SmallReferencePools limited reference pools]]. [[TakeThatAudience This is not a good thing.]] As Vesk explains, they were very shallow and quite ignorant about the broader culture surrounding the works in question, and their tendency to reenact their most beloved works before [[KillEmAll brutally slaughtering everyone involved]] made them little more than all-powerful manchildren, ranging from [[MadGod "merely" insane]] to [[GodIsEvil straight up malevolent]]. Vesk, for whom little matters more than a good story, detests them for not bringing more stories with them -- he wanted to read them all, and mourns their loss.]]
