Stupid Short Eevee Comic
is a Pokémon fan webcomic made by Scruffyeevee.
It follows a group of Eeveelutions who live in the PC of the Player Character in Sinnoh. It mainly focuses on Blizz the Glaceon, one of the leaders of the Icedrop house, however his siblings also get plenty of attention. It is a character-driven dramedy about the characters trying to live peacefully when there's rampant bullying going on, Eevees sometimes disappear for years with no explanation, and some of the house leaders barely do their jobs.
Despite its name and the fact that it was fairly silly at the beginning, there’s a lot of complicated lore going on in the background which is slowly being explained.
It has a blog where you can ask the characters questions.The comic can also be read on Deviantart, Tapastic (not up to date) and on Webtoons.
Stupid Short Eevee Comic contains examples of:
- The Ace:
- Dawn is the strongest of all main characters, is over level 60, and seeing as she’s on the trainer’s main team, it can be assumed that she helped her get all the badges in Sinnoh. She also knows Hyper Beam, is a contest star and seems to be well liked among the female Eevees.
- Blizz used to be this. When he was at the lab, the scientists there knew about the power he inherited from Harmony, so they used him to make a perfect weapon. It’s implied he was used to kill some Pokémon in there, and he also used his powers to protect his brothers.Dusk: That is why they made him their puppet.Dusk: A fighter… A leader… A prodigy… A Blizzard of Fangs and Fury.
- Alt Text: Every page has one of these. Sometimes it's just a joke relating to its page and sometimes it has plot-relevant information.
- Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: In the Ask SSEC Tumblr, you can ask questions to any character from the comic except for the ones in the EeveePlex.
- Good Angel, Bad Angel: Troll is a demon-like Jolteon who personifies Bolt’s selfish desires while Wimp is an angelic Jolteon that tries to get him to do nice things to others. Played for Drama in that it only makes him more anxious, though their antics are still comedic at times.
- Grouped for Your Convenience: The houses/brotherhoods are this. There are three of them, each with one representative and at least one leader:
- Icedrop: Popular with younger Eevees, possibly because the youngest Eeveelutions are its leaders. They value strength, and there are a lot of bullies in it.
- Greenpaw: Has all female Eevees except for Eve. They’re often targeted by Icedrops, and it seems to be filled with Cloudcuckoolanders.
- Lightfire: Their personality hasn’t been elaborated upon as much as Icedrop and Greenpaw’s, but the Eevees in it seem pretty normal.
- Inside a Computer System: The characters live in the PC, which seems to be just the normal world but is actually a place where the Player Character can store her Pokémon. There are a few NPCs there, like the Rattata Clef kills in page 57, Blizz changes the wallpaper to simulate the day-night cycle, and no one can die in it. Dusk exploits this trope plus his hacking powers to create Night.
- Irony: Bolt is an Electric-Type who lives Inside a Computer System but is Hopeless with Tech.
- Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: For a good portion of the story, what happened to the characters in the past was mainly explained through background details, Alt Texts, the Ask Blog and some youtube videos, and even then, they only give us hints. The “Meanwhile” intermissions and the storybook pages explain the plot a little bit, but the former also raises a lot of questions and the latter is biased as they are from the point of view of certain characters. Things start to be explained in page 336 (411 in the archive), and the author’s note in it actually acknowledges this trope.
- No Sense of Personal Space: Blizz keeps hugging his brother Vay, who obviously hates it. He doesn’t seem to get the hint that, if whenever you do something to someone they run away crying, you should probably stop.Dawn: You know there is something called personal space?
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Dusk seems to be an idiot who only cares about having fun, but he's only pretending, as he believes being dumb means he'll be happier. In reality, he's smart enough to to create sapient AI. He apparently became friends with Blizz specifically to learn how to be stupid.He thinks ignorance is bliss, and wants to live a nice, happy life full of it, by any means.
