History YMMV / SandraOnTheRocks

** It could also be a reference to ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', which also got a lot of flak for making its strong female protagonist seem weaker. Supported by Sandra receiving a special edition Carmen Chamelia Nintendo handheld (probably a {{3DS}}, though Sandra's video game knowledge is so far in the past that the only system she knows about is Game Boy and Alex doesn't really say what he's giving her); while many Nintendo franchises have been directly referenced, Metroid hasn't, so it's possible that Carmen Chamelia is this universe's equivalent.

* ScheduleSlip: Has been running behind schedule recently. At the start of 2016, the most recent strip was dated October 2015, and as of the current edit (May 29, 2016), the most recent strip is dated February 23, 2016.

** Lavali [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/t-talking_is_overrated_anyways seconds their emotion]], which is why she said she muster the nerve to call Eva, after being given her phone number.

** And Lavali seconds their emotion, which is why she said she lost nerve to call Eva, after being given her phone number.

-->'''Lavali:''' ''(to Sandra and Aina)'' [[LampshadeHanging "She's out of my league. She makes perfect 10's weep]] [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/i_want_sexy_details from the knowledge they'll never be as hot as her."]]

** And Lavali seconds their emotion, which is why she said she couldn't lost nerve to call Eva, after being given her phone number.

* EvilIsSexy: Eva has officially become a meta and [[InUnivrrseExamplesOnly in-universe example:]]

* EvilIsSexy: Judging [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=542782#p542782 from]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=542786#p542786 these]] [[http://www.pixietrixcomix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=542828#p542828 posts]] on the comic's official forum, the readers certainly think so when it comes to [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/dragon_roll Eva.]]
** Now it's official, 'cuz Lavali shares the readers' opinion about Eva. Which is why she said she couldn't lost nerve to call her, after being given her phone number.

* ScifiGhetto: Gary, appearing in the crossover with ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', is firmly stuck in a ghetto by his own choice; a wannabe artist, in Paris and offered a chance to visit a whole range of classic and modern art galleries and collections, he shows no real interest in the idea. Conversely, in the same storyline, Senna demonstrates an old-fashioned high culture disdain for comics art. Apparently, she's never heard of Pop Art, or any of the fashion designers (i.e. people working in her own field) who are influenced by comics styles, or anything else on those lines. Given that Creator/RoyLichtenstein was producing comics-based "high art" a good ''fifty years ago'', some readers [[DontShootTheMessage wondered what the writers were thinking there]] (and also shared her exasperation with Gary). One possible conclusion is simply that Senna is nuts.

* PerverseSexualLust: As seen by her expression in the last panel, [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/every_woman_i_know_is_now_a_lesbian here]], Marie has a lady boner [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda for Link.]]

* MoeCouplet: Lavali and Marie - one's almost painfully [[ShrinkingViolet shy and reserved]], the other's a teenaged GamerGirl with a hidden girly streak and an obvious case of [[{{fangirl}} hero worship]] towards Sandra. When they're together, [[{{moe}} the moe factor]] skyrockets. Such as [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/we_are_naked_in_public this scene]], when Sandra incites everyone to go skinny-dipping in the pool at a nightclub.

* TakeThat: The whole thing with the DarkerAndEdgier reboot of ''Carmen Chamelia'' seems to be a TakeThat against the latest ''[[VideoGame/TombRaider2013 Tomb Raider]]'' installment.

* WhenLifeGivesYouLemons: Zoe is ready to sack Sandra for hijacking the Carmen Chamelia presentation, but when Lavali shows up and asks when Sandra can model for the designers reworking Carmen's looks, Zoe realizes there may be a way to make something of the situation. This doesn't stop her from commenting on Sandra's [[CriticalHit "insanely dumb luck."]]
* WinBackTheCrowd: An in-universe example of sorts; after Tristan's public insult to girl gamers, Sandra seizes the mike and gets the audience re-enthused and on her side. [[spoiler:The ensuing livestream video quickly goes from merely viral to "bubonic", and the videogame company president realizes this can [[PanderingToTheBase sell millions of games]].]]
