openSimilar to Moral Event Horizon Webcomic
I'm looking for a trope that had this image at the top (https://imgur.com/a/mBFoK11)
but I forgot the name. I think it had to do with when a show or series crosses a certain moral line, like moral event horizon. Can anyone help?
openRejecting the outcome of a coin flip Webcomic
Hello, basically in the story the main character flips a coin to make a decision to either stay home or leave. it ends up as tails, which he assigned the "stay home" choice. but he decides to leave anyway (the heads choice). is this a subversion of Heads or Tails? or some other variation??? TIA!
Edited by Professional_NoobopenPervert Fan / Pervert Creator Webcomic
Is there a trope for a common Take That! towards fanboys being that they're interested in a work because they're perverts who are sexually attracted to the female characters? Or at least take the Wish Fulfilment aspect of the work in the direction of using it for sex?
The idea there can be that the character likes something terrible because he's not sexually active and the fandom is "filling a gap", or that he's so into the fandom that it's taken over even his sexual preferences.
Another thing that might be related is a character who's a creator being unable to keep his fetishes separated from his work. Usually that comes in the form of a director that starts acting creepy whenever he's shooting a sex scene.
Those are mostly comedy tropes but I've seen them around in dramas too - usually pearl-clutchy stuff about fans being unable to separate fantasy from reality.
openMutual Death Assumption Webcomic
Alice and Bob were in a situation where they both barely managed to survive. They were separated and for some reason, each of them assumed the other died.
openMultimedia Comics Webcomic
Do we have a trope for webcomics that include audio for certain pages or chapters, without being a Motion Comic.
openNon-sequitur panels Webcomic
When two or more panels next to each other in a comic are completely unrelated, both visually and narratively. Similar to Big-Lipped Alligator Moment but on an even smaller, more specific, and less related level. Or like a cutaway gag but even more random.
Edited by prussianblueresolved Preview genre fakeout Webcomic
The initial previews/shown premise for a webcomic presents it as one genre, like a family dramedy, by only describing a vague summary or the first few chapters, leaving out the rest of the premise.
Then when its officially released, it gives us the full synopsis. Giving away the comic’s actual genre. For example, a sci-fi adventure.
openobvious but not said Webcomic
when certain speech and action bubbles pop up that gives clues to what someone is doing but the comic doesnt actually say what they are doing, or some of the time, even cover up parts of the picture of what they are doing
openFood that doesn't reduce hunger Webcomic
Do we have a food trope where the food tastes real but is not real and still leaves you hungry?
openLarge speech bubble, little text Webcomic
When a speech bubble is deliberately made much larger than the text it contains would require, with the text often rendered in a particularly small font, to indicate whispering and/or unemotional delivery.

openA character stumble upon a few plot points that hint at a bigger story. Webcomic
Simply put, a character (not the protagonist, hero, nor "chosen one") stumbles upon a few plot points that hint at a much bigger story, but it isn't touched upon for awhile until later on the story. The trope I'm trying to find might be even multiple tropes together. Stumbled Into the Plot might fit the bill, but it isn't precise enough for me.
Edited by GoingBattyopenSilent Sorrow Webcomic
When there aren't any onomatopias or speech bubbles, but it's all still almost audible somehow.
openReal-Person Cameo? Webcomic
Question: If Neil deGrasse Tyson appears in a webcomic
, does that count as a Real-Person Cameo, or is it a different trope?
openA character yearns to return to a "paradise" Webcomic
I've been trying to create the page for a webcomic I really like and appreciate, and when I started I was sure this would be an existing trope with a page.
Basically, the idea of this trope is that a character has been in a "paradise", a place where their desires were satisfied, but had to leave it, either as a part of The Call, a moral objection to some dark secret of the paradise, or whatever else.
Then, after leaving, the character is experiencing deep longing to return, despite their better judgment. They might find themselves daydreaming, going through withdrawal symptoms as if the paradise were a physical drug, or actually going through the first steps of going back before stopping themselves, or maybe they don't stop themselves at all, and completely give in after enough time in agonizing yearning.
I'll keep looking, but if anyone could either point me in the direction of a trope or confirm this trope doesn't yet exist on the wiki, that would be very helpful.
openA character who others are attracted to because of a magical/etc quality? Webcomic
Is there a trope that describes scenarios where a character has an innate “attractive” quality, not because they’re objectively attractive but because of magic/science/etc? (The example I’m asking about is a case of Bizarre Alien Biology where a character is perpetually cold due to a condition, and it happens that this species is subconsciously aroused by the cold, if that helps.) Sorry for the clunky ask, I don’t exactly know how to word this!
openA question previously put on AskTheTropers Webcomic
Okay so this is kinda complicated, but in the media of an entry i'm writing, there's an anime that literally just looks like it's a game the creator made called KAIMA. Does this just fall under Fictional Media, Game Within a Game, Show Within a Show, Fictional Video Game, or is it something more?
Edited by CoraCreatesopenMore appropriate than Magic Genetics? Webcomic
As I understand the trope description, Magic Genetics is: 'magic' is introduced into a person to allow them to do things they wouldn't ordinarily be able to do. So...
In Webcomic.Grrl Power, Dabbler explains that Succubi were originally created as living, mana-powered "blow-up dolls"; eventually they became their own self-sustaining race (with some 'feature creep' in the meantime, such as being used as spies and assassins); at least some of them became able to actually cast magic spells. Also, they were designed to drain mana beyond what they could produce/access on their own as a form of Cast from Hit Points, so that being bonded to a "master" that can supply mana ensures loyalty.
Is this Magic Genetics, or something else?
