Woof
Merryweatherey is a webcomic author. He (yes, he, despite his feminine user name) specializes in anime-style trope short stories as well as Anthropomorphic Personification of various tools, from internet browsers to video game platforms to various tools. Likewise he's really into creepy and macabre stories, more often then not having them start off with cute protagonists before it spiraling into some rather dark tales. Heck even some of his shorts have these under tones. So fair warning.
Being the brains behind the webcomic, Merry usually collaborates with other artists to paint his comics and ideas, most frequently Princess Hinghoi.
Available in Twitter
, Webtoon and Youtube, where he also contacts indie Japanese voice actors to voice his comic dubs. He is also a Virtual YouTuber on Twitch.
Also has a Wolf-Girl Vtuber cousin named Lumi.
Comic Series
- American Weeb In Japan: An Otaku becomes a Foreign Exchange Student in Japan.
- My Succubus Girlfriend: As stated, a comic about a boy having to put up with a succubus who becomes infatuated with claiming his soul despite his resistance to her advances. Was acting forced to reboot after the original artist left the comic and he partnered with a new one, changing the style in the process.
- I Made A Comic About Internet Explorer: His most known comic (alternatively known as Browser Waifu or Internet Explorer-chan), featuring an Anthropomorphic Personification of Internet Explorer as she ventures through the life of a web browser and having to content her homicidal rival Google Chrome.
- Stalker x Stalker: Horror-romance of two Yandere and their love life, although it's mostly Romantic Comedy.
- Clinic of Horrors: Horror-comedy of a nurse working in a clinic surrounded with Eldritch Abomination creatures, people, and situations that just wanted some treatments.
- Crawling Dreams: An innocent goth girl, Nyarla, cluelessly lives her life in a Lovecraftian nightmare of a city. Luckily she's got her kitty Ghast to protect her!

- Fox Girls Are Better: An ordinary otaku guy accidentally ordered a fox girl to stay at his apartment. Hilarity ensues and crazy things start to happen to the guy. Characters and concept originate from Lost Pause.
- Meme Girls: Probably Merryweathery's best known work outside of Internet Explorer, a series of one-shots featuring various memes turned into anime girls. Illustrated by Princess Hinghoi. Originally part of I Made A Comic About Internet Explorer, it eventually branched into its own thing. (Aside of the video game consoles below, there's also websites like Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, etc turned into girls...)
- Console Waifu: A Spin-Off of I Made A Comic About Internet Explorer published under the Meme Girls banner. Features video game consoles, chiefly Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and Xbox One (the latter two are evolving to match with Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X). Considerably Lighter and Softer than its predecessor.
- Minecraft Anime/Creeper-chan: Based on the creeper of Minecraft fame, except it's a Gender Flip Anthropomorphic Personification.
- My Incubus Boyfriend: A male demonic incubus was summoned to be a boyfriend by a lonely girl who has been thoroughly bullied/abused by every other people she came across (from her own family to her classmates). May get a little depressing due to the bullying theme. Gender Inverted version of My Succubus Girlfriend, although it actually manages to be noticeably different in tone.
- Magickology: Merryweatherey's own take of the Harry Potter verse, featuring two rivaling magician girls
- Vampire Gamer: Simple little comic about a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire who's into gaming.
- Winter Moon: Rias, a seductive priest, meets Florence, a homosexual wizard in an MMORPG. Hilarity ensues.
Mini Series
- A City Called Nowhere: A
Nightmare Fuel-worthy comic about a girl who lives in a city where strange things happen and what to do when said things happen. - MMORPG: Various one-shots where Merryweatherey lampoons many MMORPG game tropes.
- Virgin vs Chad: A fledging comic adaptation of the Virgin vs. Chad meme. Chad Thundercock is the super popular, muscular guy that gets all the girls, and our protagonist Virgin is really jealous at him despite some girls trying to befriend him. But is that really the case?
- Pokemon Comics: Short comics in regards of Pokémon Sword and Shield, but especially putting emphasis of the meme 'Scottish Female Pokemon Trainer' that spawns from the game.
Tropes associated with Merryweatherey comics
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Be it internet browsers, video game consoles, to even a creature within a game or an internet meme.
- Calling Your Attacks: "CHAD SMASH!!"
- Casting Gag: The English version of "Seto Kaiba's Girlfriend?" features LittleKuriboh as both Yugi and Kaiba, due to the immense popularity and legacy of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series.
- Cerebus Syndrome: Many of his comics start off innocent and humorous enough before really getting dark and disturbing. How dark it gets usually varies on the tone of the story. Some just simple Black Comedy, but other outright veering into a Cosmic Horror Story.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Stacy is very obsessive on Chad and doesn't like it when someone gets captivated by his... 'Chad'-ness.
- Creator Thumbprint: The Cthulhu Mythos is a common theme in his works.
- Creepy Cute: A staple, some of the female protagonists can display this. Be it due to not being human, coming off normal but having a darker side or just into Nightmare Fuel.
- Gender-Blender Name: Merry is a feminine sounding name, and he mostly puts up Internet Explorer (or occasionally Google Chrome) as his avatar. This causes many other internet persona that knew him to think that he's a female... conveniently missing out that his very first video uploaded in Youtube is showing that he's completely a dude. Eventually, newer audience would be cleared up with his V-Tuber model which is basically a male (albeit a toned down anime-style pretty boy) with male voice.
- Gender Flip: As shown with the browser and console comics and the whole Meme Girls, in which he expands more (from internet websites to applications to some video game characters, like Minecraft or Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout). Even PewDiePie got gender-flipped for a one shot, and PewDiePie likes it.
- Genius Bruiser:
- The musclebound elf in the MMORPG comics are shown to be highly intelligent despite his muscles and defeats his enemies by muttering overly intelligent/nerdy babbling.
- Chad Thundercock is not just a hypermuscular dude, he gets an A+ in his quizzes too.
- Humanoid Abomination: The Wizard is a lot more disturbing than his original Virgin vs. Chad portrayal.
- Informed Species: The title character of Cockatoo Bird Anime Girl! has a dress and headpiece to make her resemble a bird, except it actually resembles a cockatiel.
- Lovable Jock: Chad Thundercock defies the stereotype of a jock who tends to be bullies to weaker people. He's a charming Nice Guy who's also a Gentle Giant, being supportive to Virgin despite his jealousy and does not like guys who did follow the aforementioned stereotype (or in his words, does the 'beta move'), as Brad would attest after getting punched in the face by Chad for trying to bully Virgin.
- Named by the Adaptation: It's revealed at the end of the Virgin vs. Chad comics that Virgin's actual name is Kyle.
- Phrase Catcher: Most of the time the female Pokemon Trainer/Gloria is revealed to have a Scottish accent and tendencies, her talk-mate would murmur "Oh no. She's Scottish."
- Sadist Teacher: What's that? You forgot to do your Japanese lesson and Duolingo-chan caught wind of it? I hope you remember how to beg for mercy in Japanese.
- Shout-Out: The short 'Genie and 100 Lamborghinis' had the heroine set up by the titular Jackass Genie make a face that looks like Aqua when she lost her Blessing-Enhanced Rock-Paper-Scissors with Kazuma.
- Terrible Artist: Shown whenever he tries to drawn something. Justified, however, considering he's the author, not the artist for any of his comics.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: This is basically what Chad had to say to a typical big bully, though much shorter than a longass speech, he got the point across:Chad: Brad!! Picking on people smaller than you... is a BETA MOVE, bro!
- That's No Moon!: "That's not the moon" tells that if you're alone on a moonlit night and it looks like the moon moves, to go back inside until it passes. It then shows what looks like a nightmarish bug with a moon-shaped angler carrying two unlucky victims.
- Too Kinky to Torture: The Tank in the MMORPG series is waaay too enjoying of the damages given to her by the skeleton, akin to Darkness.
- White Magician Girl: Subverted with the Healer in the MMORPG series. She's supposed to be the caring, compassionate healer of the team, but she does not take insults lightly, subtly threatening that she'll not heal anyone who badmouths her. After all, she's the one who decides about who gets to live and who gets to die. The second Healer plays with this. She is caring, compassionate, but she simply just snaps and refuse to heal the tank when he insulted her way too much.
- You Don't Look Like You: Stacy from the Virgin Vs Chad comics looks quite different than the standard picture of Stacy in the meme.◊ For one, she sports Girlish Pigtails and has more anime-ish eye.
