Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.


* EvilIsSexy: Wanda. Her UnlimitedWardrobe helps somewhat.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley:
** Book 2 is drawn by a different artist than book one. The new art is just as good, it's just... different... in small, subtle ways. One can get a sort of UncannyValley effect the first time seeing the new art style after being so used to the old one.
** With another new artist taking up the reins for "Book 2 Epilogue" onward, this is happening again.

Added DiffLines:

* FanNickname
** Fans who don't like her will often call Jillian "Gillian". This is based on [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture a letter written by a predictamancer]] where the author was only able to guesstimate Jillian's name. [[http://archives.erfworld.com/Book%200/48 Dephie's two guesses were "Gillian" and "Jill".]]
** Before Lady Sylvia Lazarus received an official name, she was commonly referred to as "[[FieryRedhead Scarlet]]".
** Any dual link-ups can be given a name based on the names of the two characters in the link. As they are essentially a single entity when linked, this makes sense. For example, a link between Wanda and Maggie is often referred to as "Waggie" by fans.
** "Bouncy" for the white-haired Archon whose body (well, what was left of it) Lilith carried out of Charlescomm. Now that she [[spoiler:was dusted by Charlie's Archons shortly after being decrypted]], we may never know her actual name.
** "Deisaac" (from [[spoiler:"deiform"]] plus "Isaac") for [[spoiler:whatever Isaac turned into after Charlie destroyed the Temple of the Thinkamancers]].

** Wanda. On the one hand, when she wants to, she can be a very badass spellcaster able to turn the tide of a battle all by herself. Being attuned to the pliers helps tremendously, making her the most powerful Croakamancer who ever lived thanks to her army of Decrypted units. On the other hand, she is full of herself and makes several mistakes regarding Jillian, whom she was sure to be able to manipulate, but her attempts backfired twice. She also has a blind faith in Fate, which she doesn't completly understand, leading her to make some very dumb decisions like [[spoiler:preventing Lilith from shooting Charlie]], on the basis that Parson is supposed to be the one to croak him (completely ignoring the fact that indirect orders from Parson himself may or may not qualify as him being responsible for Charlie's demise, that there are multiple clever ways to fulfill the prophecy, and as Marie pointed out "Fate would have adapted").

* OlderThanTheyThink: The term "automagically" dates back something like three centuries. "automagic", well, "auto-magic", has a use from [[https://www.reddit.com/r/etymology/comments/3qcm7z/comment/cweuc7d/ 1873]].

* WhatAnIdiot: Jillian telling her captor, Olive Branch, how she will escape from her trap. This allows Olive to correct her initial plan in order to stop Jillian from escaping. [[UpToEleven Then Jillain spots a way out of the countertrap, and brags again, letting Olive organize a recapture. And afterwards Jillian still hasn't learned her lesson.]]
