Added an entry for the webcomic Invincea and the Warriors From Hell.

Added DiffLines:

* Invincea and her friends in ''Webcomic/InvinceaAndTheWarriorsFromHell'' frequently get into trouble because of her inability to speak, and while a quick explanation might cool things down, it is much more common for the situation to snowball into a disaster. This has culminated in Invincea and her friends being suspected of attempted regicide, among other crimes.

** Also actively defied later on when Sam sees that this is happening on a space station he's sent to and all but drags the two parties involved into sitting down and talking about the problem.

* ''Webcomic/VixenLogic'': In the beginning Red's grandpa offers her a place to stay after she loses her job, but neglects to tell her that it's a boarding house and she's going to be the new landlady. Instead she finds out after one of her tenants walks in on her [[ShowerOfAwkward in the shower]] and she panics. Another one of the tenants suggests that it isn't the first time the old man has done something like that, and she basically says OhNoNotAgain after he springs another new tenant on them later.

* ''Webcomic/DICETheCubeThatChangesEverything'':
** Dongtae doesn't tell Eunju that he's a Dicer, responsible for the Dice appearing in the school, and that he will be rewarded for protecting her (even if he wanted to do so regardless) until he couldn't hide it. Despite saving her from the school gang, she becomes mad at him the next day, though apologizes later.
** Dongtae deals with renegade Guild members who "abduct" Eunju's club members. Despite having bloodied clothes, he neglects to explain to Eunju, who is against violence, why or that that choir club weren't in danger, further hurting the relationship with her. He explains to Mio why he has missed the date, but only after she got mad at him.
** Dongtae has more information about the Dice than anyone else from combined Byungchul's, Taebin's and Mooyoung's accounts, but neglects to tell that to his allies until it becomes crucial, appearing not very trustworthy.

** In the prequel story "Uncivil Servant" Belkar, after learning that he can make money by killing things that are causing problems for a town, decides to kill off the criminal gangs in that town, only to discover after he had killed them that they were not actually criminals gangs at all but were actually the town's police and fire departments, who were trying to recruit him for their volleyball teams and he had seen them at a NotWhatItLooksLike moment.

* ''Webcomic/CursedPrincessClub'': [[FaceOfAThug Gwendolyn]] receives some solid advice from the Cursed Princesses on how to deal with Prince Frederick and diplomatically break off their [[ArrangedMarriage engagement]], but her delivery ends up a little muddled. When she actually finds Frederick and has her conversation with him, she's [[TryingNotToCry struggling to hold back tears]] (which leaves her eyes [[RedEyesTakeWarning red and bloodshot]]) and has a terrifying [[TheUnSmile grimace/forced smile]] on. The situation is not helped by Prince Frederick's mistaken assumption that he had accidentally frightened Gwen off a cliff that morning (it was actually Princess Monika, wearing Gwen's dress, and she turned into a crow before she hit the ground so there was no harm done). Gwen walks away thinking she's given Frederick a tactful way to escape their unwanted engagement, while Frederick gets the impression that Gwen is an undead witch who's just promised to haunt him for the rest of his life.

* ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}'': [[https://xkcd.com/2425/ The coronavirus {{mRNA}} vaccine is given a Star Wars Poor Communication analogy]]: Princess Leia hands the Death Star blueprints to her officer, who then hands it off as just a blueprint for construction crew A without telling them to reverse-engineer a weakness, causing them to believe it's just more work so they offload it to construction crew B without telling them anything about the blueprints, leaving them to believe they have to build the entire thing with no oversight. They manage to create an entire Death Star to rival the Imperials' - at which point everyone other than Construction Crew B freaks out at the sudden and unexpected Death Star, and tries everything to destroy it, unaware of its origin and borderline-feral to the point they refuse communications from the passive Construction Crew B, until they finally spot a thermal exhaust port and try shooting at it, blowing up the copy Death Star and construction crew B. Then when the real Death Star shows up, they skip some of the panic with their poor-but-effective strategy of swarming the Death Star so they can hit the thermal exhaust port.
