History Webcomic / ThePropertyOfHate

* TheEndofTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The entire story is built on the premise that RGB and Hero must prevent the end of the world, with [[spoiler:several other heroes having tried and failed to do so. Come the events of "Casting" and it seems that Hate got impatient enough to just end it herself instead of waiting for the world to end.]]

* HeWasThereAllAlong: [[spoiler: The scissors were already bad enough in the early chapters but become far creepier when it's revealed that they're weapons used by [[BigBad Hate]] to get rid of her enemies.]]

* CartharticCrying: After putting Hero to bed during "Flood", RGB starts [[spoiler: leaking rainbow fluid due to the effects of the heart Madras put in him, only to start crying in the lower bunk afterwards.]]

** The Butterfly being [[spoiler: an antagonist who steals Hero's eyes after she decides to trust RGB]] is foreshadowed throughout the few interactions it has with Hero and when Time offhandedly mentions that Hero loses her eyes later on during her first meeting in him in"Inbetweens". During Hero's first encounter with the Butterfly, it shows up right after Hero bores the Idea to death and during their second, it perches itself on Hero's back and leaves in a huff. In both cases, the Butterfly tries to erode Hero's trust in RGB under the guise of "being wise".

** If you look carefully during one of the panels in Page 313, you notice that [[spoiler: RGB's reflection in the crystal has a wrist despite having no wrists.]]

** ''Chapter 9'' has Julienne and Melody ''cut off'' from the rest of the group with [[spoiler: [[FramingDevice scissors]].]]

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:RGB manifests one after being knocked out by a Grief.]]

* BerserkButton: Do not, under any circumstances, steal a part of Hero. RGB will get ''very'' angry with you.

* BilingualBonus: Tinker appears to speak in Morse Code.

* FaceDoodling: Of the mustache and glasses variety on RGB's screen.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The pictures of Hero's wall during ''Chapter 1: The Hook'' foreshadow the appearance of [[spoiler: The Idea and the House of Paint later on.]]

%%* YouCannotKillAnIdea: Taken quite literally.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: It's TO-by, but RGB wouldn't care.

* SurrealSymbolicHeads: A few characters, the most prominent of which is RGB. He's practically a technicolor version of the current page image.

* RealityEnsues: This tends to happen every so often.
** In page 31, Hero throws two Doubts at a Fear only to start crying once it actually glares at her. Once it impales her with it's beak [[http://tpoh.smackjeeves.com/comics/1509489/rushes-page-34/ three pages later]], she breaks down in tears.
** After watching RGB transform into his Negative self, Hero is left traumatized and as such tends to became scared if RGB extends his hand out to her.
** Unlike the other monsters they've faced, Click hates RGB enough that he cannot be reasoned with. Upon seeing him, RGB takes the reasonable approach and decides that he and Hero have to flee.

** [[http://thepropertyofhate.com/TPoH/Wardrobe/223 Once more, with feeling.]] And that feeling is BelligerentSexualTension.
** [[http://thepropertyofhate.com/TPoH/Click/268 And again, about RGB's missing body parts: He's spineless, he has no guts, etc.]]

The comic can be found on its own site [[http://thepropertyofhate.com/TPoH/The-Hook/1 here]].

** Not to mention [[FanNickname Assok]], the [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext sentient sock puppet]].

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Practically said word-for-word by RGB, with regards to Hero. [[spoiler: The given reason is not that it's physically impossible to go back, but that wherever they are is something of a FisherKingdom and Hero now has IdentityAmnesia; thus she is no longer the person she was and can't resume her old life.]]

** At one point, to distract an Idea, Hero changes RGB's channel. The first words his TV head say are "''[[Creator/MontyPython And now for something completely different...]]''" When she turns to another channel, one of the snippets of audio heard is ''"[[Film/GoneWithTheWind [fr]ankly, my dear, I d[on't give a damn!]] ]"''

* VisibleSilence:
** [[http://thepropertyofhate.com/TPoH/Pitch/186 While she reflects on the story]].
** [[http://thepropertyofhate.com/TPoH/Target%20Audience/286 TOby later, while falling, prior to observing how boring it is]].
* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: [[http://tpoh.smackjeeves.com/comics/1693540/intermission/ This page]] of the comic uses this and also resembles [[InkblotCartoonStyle an old cartoon.]]
* WhamLine: Quite a few.
** [[spoiler: This isn't how I died.]]
** [[spoiler: I don't remember.]][[note]] For context: After RGB tells Hero that she cannot go home because she is no longer herself, he asks her if she remembers her name.[[/note]]
** [[spoiler: Didn't you used to dance?]]
** [[spoiler: [[ArmorPiercingQuestion What do heroes do to monsters?]]]]
** This Exchange
-->'''Hero''': What were they like?
-->'''RGB''': Hm?
-->'''Hero''': [[spoiler: ...The other heroes?]]
* YouCannotKillAnIdea: Taken quite literally.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The pictures of Hero's wall during ''Chapter 1: The Hook'' foreshadow the appearance of [[spoiler: The Idea's appearance later on.]]

A young girl is suddenly awoken by a [[TheDandy strange man]] who refers to himself simply as RGB. He is formal in speech and odd in the head, or in the television set [[TVHeadRobot where his head should be]]. He asks her if she would like to become a hero, and though she [[JumpedAtTheCall answers with gusto]], she doesn't have any knowledge of what will be expected of her as she leaves her home for a world in the skies.

** This happens again once RGB sees Click. Unfortunately for them, [[spoiler: Click finds them and tries to murder them both.]]
