History Webcomic / DominicDeegan

* LargeHam: [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-01-10 Zelda]] (No, not ''that'' [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]), an old friend of Domonic's during her appearance in the Oracle Hunter Arc. For more fun, remember that Zelda Zanzibar is based on a gag Mookie used to pull. Yes, in drag.

** Siegfried's dad. That Doma chieftain Melna whacks. TIM. Rilian rather often, despite being pretty definitely on the right side and having his good side. The MaDara kid.

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: A certain elemental goes from a womanising scumbag to a insane mass of death earth attempting to kill one of the main characters. Then again, it was less "jumping" and more "shoved by Jacob".

** Narrowly averted with Luna. At the end of the March Across Maltak arc Mookie said that he really considerd letting Luna die in order to get a more dramatic ending. He decided against it after considering how it would absolutely ''destroy'' Dominic and kill the future plot lines he planned out.

** Karnak's was so over-the-top it made him tempting to sympathize with, since he hasn't even left Hell in so long he hasn't been casuing problems for any good guys.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: The reasons run the gamut from bad days at work to [[ItMakesSenseInContext vomiting up a "virus spell" after a long and arduous psychic battle]].

* InformedAbility: Reinholdt is supposedly trained in "Wasteland Survival", and yet clearly has no idea what he's doing. ** Since it's a Magical Wasteland [[DeathWorld Dead World]] and all around WorldOfWeirdness, it would be silly that the same limits should apply to the letter of the law.

* FantasyKitchenSink: Previously the comic featured knights, wizards, dryads, werewolves, undead, slimes, orks, dragons etc., but ever since the Dominic's and Luna's 'round-the-world trip story arc, this trope has gone into overdrive, with the author showing a ton of new races, i.e. merfolk, sea monsters, hobgolins, halflings, dwarves, mongrelfolk and whatnot in rapid appearance.

** Stunt has been going through quite a surprising bit himself throughout the series. He's become more open and trusting of people and even lost a bit of the misogonism that defined his character [[spoiler: after being separated from bumper for a while and finally forgiving himself for accidently killing his mother when he was young.]]

* BiTheWay: Taz [=MaDara=], apparently. His first meeting with Gregory Deegan involves him planting a huge [[WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw man-kiss]] on the youngest Deegan boy, much to his confusion.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-07-30 Never]] [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-11-19 take]] [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-02-13 your eyes]] [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-11-21 off the Interceptor.]]
** Dex isn't the only one who can do it. Most of the cast does it once or twice, [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-02-22 even Rilian!]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Siegfried:''']] [Over about a week's worth of strips as he charges across Hell for his RoaringRampageOfRevenge] KARNAK! '''KARNAK!''' '''''KARNAK!'''''
-->'''Karnak:''' I heard you the first time.

* DiscriminateAndSwitch: The [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-11-28 2005-11-28 comic]] during The Battle for Barthis: Part 1:

'''Stonewater''': If you are forbidding us from buying tickets [[FantasticRacism because we are orcs…]]\\
'''Dominic''': I'm ''not'' prohibiting ''orcs'' from the concert. I ''am'' prohibiting [[BlackMage infernomancers]].

* DevilsJobOffer:

* OhCrap:

* OneWayVisor: [[spoiler: Damned Siegfried and corrupted Jayden]]

* SuddenlyVoiced: Variation with Bort the mongrelman: he could talk when introduced, but only in brief bits of HulkSpeak. During the final arc of the comic [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2013-04-01when he [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2013-03-29 shows up]] to help, thanks to [[AWizardDidIt a combination of Celesto's magic and that of the Elemecca]] he can [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2013-04-01 talk normally]]--and he's as surprised as Dominic is. Even funnier, he speaks in near-SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.

-->'''Stunt''': If this curse is only triggered when you smoke, why don't you just quit smoking?
-->*[[BeatPanel beat]]*
-->'''Dominic''': If going to jail is only triggered when you steal, why don't you just quit?

* GoIntoTheLight: Played with; after the HeroicSacrifice of [[spoiler:Celesto]] [[TakingYouWithMe taking the Beast with him]], Dominic has a vision not only of the Heart of Magic, but [[MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes flashes of the future for Callan]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments and all his family and friends]], then wants to "know more" and [[spoiler:goes through the doors to "go home"...but it's his seer powers as a personified being, "dying" and rejoining the source of all magic, while the real Dominic, though badly injured, lives on albeit {{Depower}}ed]].

In May 2015, Mookie revealed that a new stretch goal for the Patreon of ''Star Power'' would be a sequel comic called ''The Legacy of Dominic Deegan'', set two centuries after the original comic. As of 2018, however, this stretch goal has not been attained, but in March 2019 [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2019-03-23 it was hinted that the sequel may be moving forward despite this...]]

* BigDamnKiss: At least once, we have been treated by a single giant colored panel of Dominic and Luna kissing.

* [[BoldInflation Bold]] '''[[BoldInflation Inflation]]'''!

* InsistentTerminology: Inverted. Brett Taggerty called Gregory a faggot and Rachel a dyke at about every opportunity. Neither, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome especially Rachel]], would put up with his crap.

* LovingForce: Noted and subsequently almost completely averted. [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-01-13 Melna was raped by Stonewater]] (as a child!) to save her life, but after meeting him again some years later, [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2007-02-12 she discovers, to her alarm, that she is attracted to him now.]] On further rumination, Melna loves what Stonewater has come to stand for... which is not that surprising given Stonewater tried to model himself after Melna's father, horrible traumatization aside.

** Could have adopted.

** After being inflicted with the Blight, Gregory Deegan suffered from terrible nightmares. After he learned white magic, the nightmares went away, but they returned in force when Gregory's magic was stolen.

* BadDreams: In an early comic, Dominic makes a distinction between his visions of doom, and just regular old nightmares, and notes he's learned to differentiate between them.
