{{Hello}}. You've come to the page for an [[FictionalDocument obscure]] show that happens to be [[WriteWhoYouKnow directly lifted from the events taking place in]] This Troper's RealLife. The show has the following bizaare layout:
* The PilotMovie, a ten-minute LostEpisode originally [[ScrewedByTheNetwork broadcasted during the graveyard shift]]. Portrayed the characters who would later become TheLancer, TheSmartGuy, and TheHero, doing a video-project on AWizardOfEarthsea, with a brief appearance by the boy who would later be TheBigGuy. Very low-quality in several as it was supposed to have been scripted and filmed by the characters themselves (a sort of {{mockumentary}} within a mockumentary), but it had a few clever moments that showed the humor and personality of this premise well.
* The first season, taking place almost entirely at the main characters' school during the seventh grade, and revolving around the slow forming of a FiveManBand (or, one might argue, a FiveTokenBand) as well as several invocations of TheRival. An exception was the true {{Pilot}} of the show, taking place at a party immediately before the school year's start. This was the episode where TheHero decided she was in love with TheLancer, therefore being a bizaare form of EveryoneMeetsEveryone.
* The second season took place during the eighth grade; now that the FiveManBand had been firmly established, there was more explanation of relationships and expansion of minor characters. TheSmartGuy and TheChick became a BetaCouple; this was the subject of much confusion and use of ShipperOnDeck, and most notably created a WillTheyOrWontThey situation during which TheHero became convinced that successful matchmaking would win her TheLancer's love. This was also the season where the ButtMonkey, who was really in-universe TheScrappy, as well as the AffirmativeActionGirl had their personalities developed. This created a secondary FourTemperamentEnsemble among the four main female characters; note the use of cast herd below.
* There was then a series of {{OVA}}s, released irregularly and still ongoing. This marked an ArtShift; while the show as a whole was LiveActionTV, this was done {{anime}}-style, because it was about TheHero's RomanticTwoGirlFriendship with an {{Otaku}} GenkiGirl SatelliteCharacter, who in later installments transitioned to a more {{angst}}y {{Petanko}} PaleSkinnedBrunette type.
* Technically, the show was cancelled after the second season. However, it lives on: As the characters are now high school age, TheHero, TheLancer, and TheChick have entered a high-school show that is an {{Expy}} of {{Degrassi}}. In this series, they are mere extras, but in a fan webcomic centered around the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers' club, the hero has had the good luck to become a primary character.
This show employs the CastHerd, as it is {{justified}} in the fact that often characters live far away from each other and have limited opportunities to interact. The CastHerds are, roughly, as follows:
* The FiveManBand:
** TheHero, a CloudCuckoolander InsufferableGenius that hasn't quite finished compensating for her discovery that LonersAreFreaks. Is a HollywoodAtheist with a TelevisuallyTransmittedDisease.
** TheLancer, who subverts the hell out of {{Kuudere}}, {{Tsundere}}, and DefrostingIceQueen, several times over. Un-AmbiguouslyJewish.
** TheSmartGuy, who is arguably the OnlySaneMan... most of the time.
** TheChick, who has NerdGlasses yet averts the hell out of {{Meganekko}}. Arguably a bit of TheDaria, although to be honest TheHero [[InvokedTrope invokes this trope far too much...]].
** TheBigGuy, who is more often than not on ADateWithRosiePalms.
* ThreePlusTwo is used in two different ways: TheHero, TheLancer, and TheSmartGuy resolve to a PowerTrio in certain episodes, as Id, Superego, and Ego respectively. However, there is also a second "Plus Two", that had previously a sort of status as ThoseTwoGuys. These are:
** TheScrappy, an Indian possibly-anorexic who is the unfortunate ButtMonkey.
** AffirmativeActionGirl, a TwoferTokenMinority and sort of EnsembleDarkhorse.
* The aforementioned FourTemperamentEnsemble is an occassional way in which the four girls are split up: AffirmativeActionGirl, TheHero, TheScrappy, and TheChick are respectively sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. Oddly enough, they completely avoid fitting the FourGirlEnsemble.
* A DysfunctionalFamily, consisting of BumblingDad, TheUnfavorite BrattyHalfPint [who became an angsty AntiHero by the third season], a sociopathic MamaBear, and TheHero who here plays the roles of DaddysGirl and BrattyTeenageDaughter.
* The HighSchool characters. At this point the hero is a freshman, hanging out with a large science fiction and fantasy writers' club consisting mostly of juniors.
** TheHero's role is now one of TokenMiniMoe and ManicPixieDreamGirl. The second quality is directed at...
** A DeadpanSnarker who [[DefrostingIceQueen turns out to be]] a Type A {{Tsundere}}, to the point of {{Oranyan}}.
** OneeSama, who is [[GratuitousJapanese called such]] by the hero in a completely platonic way... [[LesYay probably]].
** The BetaCouple, consisting of a YamatoNadeshiko and a {{Jerkass}}.
** The MalevolentBastard, who is PutOnABus in a fashion resembling KarmicDeath after a few months.
** The ''other'' BetaCouple, which is a WillTheyOrWontThey consisting of an honest-to-god literal {{Bokukko}} and the poor OnlySaneMan who just had to fall in love with her. ItGotWorse: Then it became a [[TriangRelations Type 4]] LoveTriangle involving a [[FauxYay part-time]] WholesomeCrossdresser [[CatGirl Cat Boy]]. (Poor, poor, poor OnlySaneMan...)
Overarching tropes:
* AllLoveIsUnrequited (a rule for a very long time, but the hero's luck is slowly beginning to change)
* BerserkButton
* BetaCouple: With the exception of the OVA,
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: TheHero and TheLancer sometimes fall into this; in the post-summer portions of the OVA, so do TheHero and GenkiGirl.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Usually, there is at least one very obvious moment for each RomanceArc.
* HideYourLesbians: Normally, the show is very explicit about the (usually lesbian) homosexual relationships depicted upon it. On certain networks, however, this content was considered inappropriate. The creators had way too much fun with the ensuing DubText, entire scenes being refilmed to be about "intense jealousy" of a ShallowFemaleLoveInterest's good looks, dating of others, etc.
* HighSchoolDance: Well, duh.
* LargeHam
* LesYay: It just gets more and more blatant as it goes along.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy (so very, very crazy)
* {{Nerds}}, {{Geeks}}
* NoBisexuals: Averted
* OneHeadTaller: TheHero starts out preferring love interests who are not OneHeadTaller. When she moves on to accepting ones who are, it is played much like the maturation from the class S relationship to real relationships with men. Discussed when she gets with a boy who is exactly OneHeadTaller.
* RuleOfThree: OfficialCouple is "third time's the charm".
* SchoolPlay: At least once a season.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Almost every couple falls into this at some point.
* StatusQuoIsGod: The first two seasons averted it with relationships but played it straight with characters; later material is the other way around.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Oddly enough, {{inverted}}; TheHero attends several therapists of several kinds, but [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption none of them resolve her problems]] and [[StatusQuoIsGod she decides to just continue being an oddball]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Many characters are like this. Type A is commonest, but TheLancer can be argued as a Type B.
Tropes appearing in the first two seasons:
* TheBGrade
* GranolaGirl (many of the females go through a phase of this sort at some point)
* SlapSlapKiss: A DefiedTrope in the romance of TheHero and TheLancer. It goes through the following stages:
** [[SubvertedTrope Seeming]] WhenAJerkLovesATsundere.
** The hero's LoveEpiphany turns her into a Yandere.
** This only turns TheLancer more {{tsundere}} towards her.
** TheScrappy is a ShipperOnDeck who {{lampshaded}} the entire thing.
** Ultimately, they form an elegant {{deconstruction}} of the traditional KidCom OfficialCouple.
* StrawmanPolitical
** TheRival
* TooDumbToLive: TheScrappy claims to have ''forgotten what religion she was''.
The [=OVAs=] contain examples of:
* {{Fangirl}}s
** {{Shipping}}
** OccidentalOtaku (a rare western example)
** YaoiFagirl and YuriFangirl (they provide an amusing contrast)
* LesYay
** RomanticTwoGirlFriendship
** SchoolgirlLesbians (technically, schoolgirl bisexuals, but don't tell the fans that)
** JustFriends [[spoiler:the final circumstance, and in some ways as far as their relationship ever gets]]
* PaleSkinnedBrunette
** {{Pettanko}}
* HollywoodHomely (both of the girls are BeautifulAllAlong, to a certain extent; some {{deconstruction}} and LampshadeHanging takes place when one begins to consider the other as a {{Bishoujo}})
The third season contains examples of:
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Because the series' protagonist is, between much use of EnsembleDarkhorse and ADayInTheLimelight, the roles that each character actually belongs in are rather variable: WrongGuyFirst, ThePaolo, or even UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist; KidHero, MagicalGirlfriend, ClingyJealousGirl {{Yandere}}; {{Tsundere}}, AntiHero, PairTheSpares; these and more could be argued depending on who the protagonist is.
* FirstKiss
* GratuitousJapanese: Between two characters who study Japanese and a third who uses FangirlJapanese, this is inevitable.
** SempaiKohai
** OneeSama: This title is dropped relatively early.
** JapaneseHonorifics
** JapanesePronouns: Allow us to repeat: This series contains an actual {{Bokukko}}.
* LampshadeHanging: Dear god.
-->'''TheHero:''' One of these days, we need to get meta about being meta all the time.
-->'''DeadpanSnarker:''' You just did.
* IAmNotShazam: When someone {{cosplay}}s as SuzumiyaHaruhi, the nature of her SailorFuku forces her to declare "I AM NOT SAILOR MOON!" at several points.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Dear ''god''.
* MatchmakerCrush: [[spoiler:TheHero eventually gets one on the Bokukko. She tries to get over it, but the sheer amount of FanService that the other girl doles out makes it hard...]]
* MetaGuy: TheHero and the DeadpanSnarker are practically a [[IncrediblyLamePun meta-couple]].
* MetaFiction: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] beyond belief. The characters jokingly come to conclusions about the DesignatedHero of their parent show, its relationship to Degrassi, TheRival within said show, their status as a fanmade webcomic, ''and'' TheHero's status as protagonist of this comic is {{justified}} because she's an outsider protagonist, making it easier to execute EveryoneMeetsEveryone. However, nobody genuinely believes they're fictional characters. MetafictionDemandedThisIndex, pretty much.
** An odd combination of ConversationalTroping and LampshadeHanging occurs in a [[ArcFatigue lengthy]] conversation between two characters, in which they discuss the gratuitious use of {{Beat Panel}}s, the update schedule, and just how meta webcomics have or have not gotten lately. All of this is framed within the discussion of ''if'' they were a webcomic, much to readers' frustration. They come, much to their disappointment, to the conclusion that webcomics have not yet gotten meta about their excessively metafictional nature.
* MindGameShip: Any pairing involving the Bokukko ultimately falls into this; invoked by her.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "That nice girl who didn't go to homecoming with me", often shortened to "that nice girl from homecoming", aka our beloved PaleSkinnedBrunette, is alluded to almost exclusively by that name in this media. In addition our unfortunate WholesomeCrossdresser is nicknamed and very rarely referred to by his more mundane real name.
* {{OT3}}: TheHero is convinced that she, OneeSama, and {{Bokukko}} make a good example of this. They aren't so sure.
* SecretRelationship: TheHero and DeadpanSnarker, in the "flimsy" subtype. Ultimately TheNotSecret. A more serious type takes place between [[spoiler:Bokukko and WholesomeCrossdresser]], although whether it qualifies as a relationship is up for debate.
* ShipperOnDeck: Several. The ShipWar is arguably almost as intense in-show as in the fandom.
* ShippingGoggles: About half of the characters wear them.
** YuriGoggles: TheHero's main weapon. ''[[{{Squick}} Even where her mother is concerned.]]''
* ShipTease: The {{Bokukko}} happily doles this out. "I'm not stripping. Not even for you."
** Even {{Crack Pairing}}s get this regularly, such as OnlySaneMan's line "still overall small and cute anyway" when TheHero despairs over her clothing size when intending to cosplay as SuzumiyaHaruhi.
* ShipToShipCombat: Not only in the fandom, but ''in the show itself''. Just think about that for a minute.
* SliceOfLifeWebcomics
* SnowMeansLove (invoked, discussed)
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "I did not just hear my dad say 'AnnoyingYoungerSibling, get up here and clean up your damn room.'"
* TedBaxter: Used quite a couple times.
