History WebComic / EerieCuties

* NotSoDifferent:
** Female Ace is [[SecondLawOfGenderBending sorta glad]] that he/she doesn't have to compete with other men about who has the "biggest". This said to flat chested Brooke. The focus may change, but BiggerIsBetter regardless.
** [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_like_them_too Layla and Tiffany's]] love of [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/final_showdown Valcross.]]

* SecondLawOfGenderBending: There have been a few scenes to suggest that, while still interested in becoming a boy again, Ace may have enjoyed being a girl more that she let on. See DistractedByMyOwnSexy above and NotSoDifferent above.

** Layla [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/vampire_puberty adressed]] Chloe and Brooke as [[Franchise/GIJoe Baroness and Serpentor]].

* BackFromTheDead: Done humorously, since Tiffany [[AnAstralProjectionNotAGhost wasn't dead to begin with.]] She simply assumed she was, because she had [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/quality_evil_at_last! tripped and fallen on her father's sword]]; not knowing [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/secret_compartment it was harmless.]]

* DeadlyPrank: [[TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip Tying someone's shoelaces together]] is never a good idea; especially if they [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/quality_evil_at_last! happen to be holding a sword.]] [[spoiler:Thankfully, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/secret_compartment it turned out to be harmless]]]].

After an extremely lengthy hiatus, Gisele eventually confirmed the series has ended with it's final strip being in 2015, though she occasionally does one-shots based on the universe as Kickstarter goals.

* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: A minor example: "Oh my beloved Chloe... wherefore art thou?"

* ZettaiRyouiki:
** The uniforms for Charybdis Heights have this at Class-C.
** Melissa's CuteWitch costume too.
** Also Nina's dress for her first date with Ace.

* DistinctionWithoutADifference: Being dumped by Kade left Layla in tears ''and'' in denial. She [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/slumber_party insisted that she had dumped]] [[YourCheatingHeart *him*]]... he just happened to dump her first.

** In chapter 9, we got to see a bit of [[AbsoluteCleavage Layla's cleavage]], her ToplessnessFromTheBack, and [[ShowSomeLeg some leg]] while she was [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/no_you_hang_up getting ready for her bath.]]

** Maria Delacroix sings [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid "Poor Unfortunate Souls"]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/it_builds_anticipation in the shower]].

** At the School Dance, Girl!Ace wishes that [[GenderBender the curse]] could be broken with a kiss, like in a fairy tale. [[BiTheWay Brooke]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/worth_a_shot decides it's worth a shot...]] but nothing happens. Turns out that Brooke [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/kiss_boys was just the wrong sex.]]

** During Nina's slumber party, Brooke confided in Layala (of all people!) that she's [[BiTheWay insecure about her sexuality.]] The bigger surprise being, Layla [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_see_chloe_changing didn't mock her for it.]]

* NoYouHangUpFirst: Seen while Layla was getting ready to take her bath in chapter 8, 'til her mom finally hung up the phone [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/no_you_hang_up for her]], so ''she'' could talk to her daughter.

* RomanticRain: Seen when Layla made up with Kade at the end of the ''"War Dance"'' arc. The two shared a kiss, causing Laura to ignite with jealousy, which set off the school's sprinkler system. Everyone else ran for cover, while [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/so_much_for_our_plan Layla and Kade continued unabated.]]

* EvilTwin: In the "See No Evil" chapter, Nina was pulled into a cursed mirror and replaced by a doppelganger, with [[ScrewySquirrel an odd sense "evil."]]

* ForTheEvulz: This was seemingly the mirror monster's primary motivation, but since it wound up being influenced by aspects of Nina's personality, it was more like a ScrewySquirrel.

After an extremely lengthy hiatus, Gisele eventually confirmed the series has ended with it's final strip being in 2015, though she plans to do another story set in the same universe in the future.

** First seen when Melissa [[ImagineSpot imagined the other girls' reactions]] to finding out about her date with Kade. Each expressed some degree of jealousy or disappointment, except [[spoiler:Faith]], [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments who could give two shits.]]

* TemporarilyAVillain: Chloe underwent a period of villainy when she donned the [[AmplifierArtifact Doom Panties]] prematurely. This caused her crush on [[spoiler:Layla's fiancé, Dio]], along with her feelings of inadequacy, to draw out her SuperpoweredEvilSide. Thankfully, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she got better]] and is back to [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/been_there_all_night her lovable self.]]

* SadistShow: The series is very mean-spirited and any of the more decent character usually always end up getting picked on for the most abitary of reasons. If not that, expect their attitude to suddenly shift to jerk-assery wildly on a dime.

* {{Retcon}}: The last panel of the Oct. 8 2010 strip originally had Blair use the Tiresias Orb to magically compel Nina and Brooke (both 14, at that time) to make-out with each other. The readership [[DudeNotFunny was not amused]], prompting the writers to change it two days later.

* LastSecondWordSwap:

** In chapter 9, we got to see a bit of [[AbsoluteCleavage Layla's cleavage]], her SexyBack, and [[ShowSomeLeg some leg]] while she was [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/no_you_hang_up getting ready for her bath.]]

* AgonyOfTheFeet: A rather metaphysical example... [[spoiler:Deep inside Layla's mind, her inner child stomps on the feet of Queen Lamia's spirit, who's possessing Layla's body and trying to assimilate her. [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/feet_first The ancient vampire is quite upset by the lack of respect]]]].

* DeadlyPrank: Tying someone's shoelaces together is never a good idea; especially if they [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/quality_evil_at_last! happen to be holding a sword.]] [[spoiler:Thankfully, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/secret_compartment it turned out to be harmless]]]].

** First seen when Melissa [[ImagineSpot imagined the other girls' reactions]] to finding out about her date with Kade. Each expressed some degree of jealousy or disappointment, except [[spoiler:Faith]], [[FunnyMoments who could give two shits.]]

* TemporarilyAVillain: Chloe underwent a period of villainy when she donned the [[AmplifierArtifact Doom Panties]] prematurely. This caused her crush on [[spoiler:Layla's fiancé, Dio]], along with her feelings of inadequacy, to draw out her SuperpoweredEvilSide. Thankfully, [[HeartwarmingMoments she got better]] and is back to [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/been_there_all_night her lovable self.]]

-->'''Nina: (reading to Ace)''' [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/kitty "...Also, she had a kitty. Its name was Mr. Boodles."]]

* BarelyThereSwimwear: Layla's string bikini, [[spoiler: which goes from barely there to gone]]. Much to Kade's delight.
* BigNo: Layla's reaction to Blair uploading [[spoiler: the footage of her and Brooke]] to his Website/YouTube account.

-->'''Dio:''' (''thinking'') Canadian courtship is so... ''bold''!

** There was also the time [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/watch_the_hands! Brooke sprayed Layla]], for volunteering her and [[spoiler: girl-]]Ace for surprise makeovers at Nina's slumber party. [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/no_buts More hair-pulling ensued...]]

** Layla got even with [[spoiler: Doompantied]] Chloe, for trying to steal her fiance ''and'' having the gall to make her serve them during their meal. So Layla gave her a post-hypnotic suggestion to [[spoiler: make a pig of herself, in front of Dio]] and made certain she wouldn't remember why she'd done it, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/never_felt_so_close 'til she was alone in the shower.]]

** The first major one involved Layla meeting [[spoiler: [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/pesky_cats_-_ec_crossover_strip Faith]]]] at the park and following her back to her home; thinking she'd get a free bite. Which went about as well [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/like_an_amateur as expected]], [[spoiler: though Tiffany managed to find a way to [[CooldownHug resolve things amicably]]]].
** Chapter 10 culminated in a sparring match between Brooke and [[spoiler: Faith's boyfriend, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/top_of_my_class Ash]]]], which soon turned into an actual fight when he made the mistake of [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/then_do_something_about_it provoking her.]] It might have been his last, had it not been for [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/do_you_feel_him_breathing Melissa snapping Brooke out of it.]]

* DeadlyPrank: Tying someone's shoelaces together is never a good idea; especially if they [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/quality_evil_at_last! happen to be holding a sword.]] [[spoiler: Thankfully, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/secret_compartment it turned out to be harmless]]]].

-->'''Mr. Wolfhart: (snatches Ace's textbook away)''' "Vampires!? Is that what they're teaching you at this school!? How dare they-- Who's this?"
-->'''Ace:''' "Thats the vampire queen I need to do the report on!"
-->'''Mr. Wolfhart:''' "Can Daddy help? ♥"

** Melissa is guilty of this, herself. She was upset by the idea of [[spoiler: Ash]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_do_not_need_your_favors stringing her along]], but saw nothing wrong with playing the field, so long as ''[[{{hypocrite}} she]]'' [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/a_new_steady_so_soon_after_me was the one doing it.]]
** Nina not only wanted her sister's boyfriend, Kade, she went so far as to [[spoiler: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_borrowed_this steal her body]]]] just so she could go out with him. Two volumes later, their roles seemingly reversed. Three guesses [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/ran_off_with_my_boyfriend how well Nina took it]], even though Layla explained that [[NotWhatItLooksLike it wasn't what it looked like.]]

* FailedDramaticExit: Melissa slaps [[spoiler: Ash]] for thinking she'd consent to a casual fling, then attempts to storm out and slam the door behind her, for emphasis. Which she did... [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_do_not_need_your_favors except she had walked into his closet.]]

-->'''Brooke: (panicking)''' "No! My hair! I won't change! I won't change! I won't--"
-->'''*very next panel, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/best_day_ever!_(revised) cue]] [[{{Retcon}} cheerleading]]*'''

-->'''Tiffany: (watching television)''' "Oh c'mon, [[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}} Lion-O]], she doesn't love you! Get over it!"
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Covered in the LesYay entry on [[YMMV/EerieCuties the YMMV page.]]

* GrandTheftMe: Done by Nina, when she decided to [[DisproportionateRetribution get even with]] [[spoiler: Layla]], by using the magic vase to steal her body and [[spoiler: used it to go on a date with her sister's boyfriend]].

** Both Nina and especially Blair took a sudden dark twist in the ''[[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/best_friend "Best Friend"]]'', when he seemed prepared to [[spoiler: stake Nina]].

-->'''Cerise:''' Sorry! Panicked! (''thought ballon'') Better you than me.

*** And the time she imagined Layla conspiring with Dio to kill her on their double date, then pictured [[spoiler: [[WebComic/MagickChicks Faith]]]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/curse_you_hormones saving her and mentally enslaving her afterwards.]] Which convinced her to call Melissa instead.
** Melissa [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/all_the_right_people imagined the other girl's reactions]] to finding out she was going on a date with Kade; including [[spoiler: Faith]], [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall who said she didn't care.]]

* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Tiffany coaches Melissa through her first public appearance as a CuteWitch [[spoiler: MagicalGirl]], by feeding her [[ForGreatJustice heroic lines.]] Melissa goes along with it [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_am_not_saying_that VERY reluctantly.]]
-->'''Melissa:''' "Stop in... um..."
-->'''Tiffany:''' (''whispering'') "Psst psst psst!"
-->'''Melissa: (indignant)''' [[BeingGoodSucks "I am NOT saying that!"]]
-->'''Tiffany: (whispering)''' "Secret ID!"
-->'''Melissa:''' "Ugh! Fine!"
-->'''Melissa: (mortified)''' "In the name of peace and justice, I, a passing-by magical girl who likes Chinese food, demand you cease and desist!''

** Taken to all new levels after Layla regains her memories as [[spoiler: Queen Quintessa]]. When Brooke offered to let Layla feed on her again, Layla [[spoiler: refused unless she begged for it. Brooke wanted it so badly, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/a_close_circle that she submitted]]]].

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Done by [[spoiler: [[WebComic/MagickChicks Faith]]]], during [[TheCameo a cameo appearance]], and Melissa after transferring to Artemis Academy.
** First seen when Melissa [[ImagineSpot imagined the other girls' reactions]] to finding out about her date with Kade. Each expressed some degree of jealousy or disappointment, except [[spoiler: Faith]], [[FunnyMoments who could give two shits.]]
-->'''Cerise: (unfazed)''' "Hmph! Don't let it go to your head."
-->'''Jacqui: (wistful)''' "Oh, Kade... someday you'll remember me..."
-->'''Layla: (deadpan)''' "I'll murder you."
-->[[spoiler: Faith]]: '''(smug)''' "I know you're only imagining ''my'' reaction, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/all_the_right_people but I don't know who Kade is, or why I should care."]]

-->'''Cessily: (laughing and pointing)''' "Look! Layla's so hard up for friends, she has to hang out with humans!"
-->'''Laura: (laughing)''' "She's not popular AT ALL!!"
-->'''Melissa: (laughing)''' "AHA-HAHA! I don't know ''why'' I'm here, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/stake_me_with_a_jackhammer but this is hilarious!"]]

'''Cess:''' And you don't want it to be somone stuck-up like Lay-- (''Layla appears behind them'')\\

* LizardFolk: The twin bullies, Lax and Jux.
* LookBehindYou: Tiffany managed to divert everyone's attention, during her double date with Layla and her [[spoiler: ex-]]boyfriend, simply by pointing. And it actually worked, allowing her to slip garlic powder into Kade's soup, unnoticed:
-->'''Tiffany: (pointing)''' "Look! Something distracting!"
-->'''[[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/tip_the_odds_in_my_favor (eveybody looks to see what she's pointing at)]]'''
* LoveAtFirstPunch: Ash takes a liking to Melissa, after she [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_do_not_need_your_favors slaps him one]], for thinking she'd consent to a casual fling. And he had a similar reaction when [[spoiler: Brooke]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/top_of_my_class managed to best him in a sparring match.]]

* MindControl: Like most vampires, Layla's bite enables her to either wipe the victim's short-term memory, or give them [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/never_felt_so_close a posthypnotic suggestion.]] But in extreme instances, such as when [[spoiler: Nina bit Becky (while in Layla's body)]] without knowing how to properly control it, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_bestest she accidentally enthralled her.]]

* MomentKiller: Just as [[spoiler: Ace]] and Brooke were trying to discuss the problems they were having in their relationship, [[EnfantTerrible Tia]] happens by, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/couples_counselling sowing seeds of discord.]]

** First seen when Brooke explained why she tries to suppress her snake form, by telling Nina [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/one_true_nature what happened to Mr. Skittles.]] Which was almost taken to its logical extreme in vol.3, when [[spoiler: Ash]] made the mistake of [[TemptingFate deliberately]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/then_do_something_about_it provoking her.]]

** Being a succubus, Adora [[AllWomenAreLustful was distracted]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/hey_handsome by the first guy she saw]] afer being freed from her confinement. She had to be reminded that [[spoiler: her daughter, Chloe, was still wearing the Doompanties and needed to be stopped]].

** And Kade wound up being dumped [[spoiler: for good]], due to Layla assuming he was making a pass at Tiffany during their date. Not knowing he was [[MyInstinctsAreShowing trying to catch the mouse]] that'd taken cover in Tiffany's cleavage.

-->'''Blair:''' "GIRLS! Not DISCO!"

-->'''Creator/TCampbell:''' "Her friendship with Tiff [[JustFriends was always meant to be just that:]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=492131#p492131 friendship]], the thrill of two largely isolated people finding each other."
** Which was confirmed when Layla tried setting her up on a date [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_need_a_date with Dio.]] While, in ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'', Tiffany struggled to accept the possibility of being attracted to [[spoiler: [[IfItsYouItsOkay Faith]]]].
** Those who shipped her with Brooke didn't care that Layla's [[spoiler: persona was being [[SplitPersonalityTakeover overwritten by Queen Quintessa]]]]'s. But once she regained control, any hope of her hooking up with Brooke died when she [[WhatTheHellHero called Brooke]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/less_tied_up out]] for not trying to put a stop to [[spoiler: Quintessa]]'s intentions.

-->'''Brooke: (thinking to herself)''' "That should be '''''ME''''' kissing Layla!"

* SlumberParty: [[spoiler: girl-]]Ace was invited to Nina's (as in, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/change_of_plans shanghai'd by Layla]]), in vol.1.

-->"I don't ''wanna'' be a girl! I liked being a boy!... '''''And my clothes don't fiiiiiiiiit!'''''"

** [[spoiler: Girl!]]Ace and Brooke's burgeoning friendship and sweet chemistry together have shades of this. Once Ace [[spoiler: becomes a boy again,]] he decides [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/puppy_puppy_puppy act on it.]]

** '''Major spoiler:''' It eventually turns out [[spoiler: to have been a lie, fed to her by Blair, who suspected she might be the reincarnation of Queen Lamia. So he conditioned Nina to eat chocolate to prevent Lamia from being reborn. Except he'd been wrong about which of the Delacroix children it was to be. [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/all_the_signs_pointed_to_nina It was Layla]]]].

** Remember when Layla said that she [[spoiler:didn't want the planned kiss between her and Brooke ending up on Blair's YouTube account?]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/youtube Take a wager what happened a couple days later...]] Given the circumstances it also doubles as TemptingFate.

* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Used twice, during the series:
** When Nina told Chloe she was starving, Chloe assumed Nina wanted to feed on her and panicked. But soon relented and offered Nina her neck, except Nina was [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/take_what_you_need!_ busy scarffing down Chloe's chocolate.]]
** Tiffany had a similar reaction, when Layla yanked her into the dressing-room, while she was on her job at the mall. She expected Layla to feed on her and was apparently looking forward to it, despite being caught by surprise. But she was [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/staking_customers noticeably disappointed]] when all Layla wanted, was help trying on her dress.
