It's about a brother and sister that has mental problems, the brother can't die and the sister sees things.(I know ... it's odd)
openDeath Causes Natural Disaster Webcomic
So, in this webcomic, there's a succession of children, apparently reincarnations of the same soul, who, upon dying, immediately cause a natural disaster of some kind. Things like fires, floods, droughts, etc. What kind of trope (not counting the reincarnation) would that be?
openSeemingly benevolent, but secretly up to something Webcomic
So I've got an Urban Fantasy webcomic with a large organization that's devoted to defending the population from monsters, but there's been some recent revelations that they seem to be involved in some less-than-savory business. What's that called?
openFount of knowledge Webcomic
Character who is working for a higher power, are currently aligned but not always exactly the same goals as the main protagonists, provides new information to other characters, confirms hinted at information to readers.
openTrope where this picture is featured Webcomic
This is me yet again, putting out the same request for someone to find a tropes page for me, except this time I actually know what the picture on it is! It's a picture of the last two panels of Sticky Dilly Buns #101 where Andy is telling Ruby to speak whatever's on her mind and Ruby is thinking "Another kiss?". That's the info I finally obtained after so much time, now it's up to any of you to find the page once and for all!

Hello,
In the latest strip of Zebra Girl, Crystal (who is known for being a Plucky Girl) contemplates the latest events of her life, and is preparing herself to fight her former friend, Sandra, the titular Zebra Girl, who became a demon (for whom she has deep feelings, but recent events, in which she almost lost her life, led her to believe that Sandra is beyond hope and that she must be stopped). She acknowledges that she has been the "always happy" girl of the group (and was effectively The Heart), that her world became Darker and Edgier, and that the circumstances are pushing her to become something else.
So, I'm not quite sure what character tropes apply to her in this case. It isn't a Take a Level in Badass (yet - after all, she is one of the only completly normal human of the cast). It isn't a Face–Heel Turn (there is a big misunderstanding behind the scenes). Darker and Edgier is about a work, not a character. Too soon to say if she is becoming a Determinator. The Break the Cutie trope is already listed (and I will expand it later on I guess).
I'm pretty sure there are a couple tropes for this situation, but I'm unable to remember them. If you have some ideas, I'd like to hear them.

I'm trying to re-find a particular webcomic episode I saw once that was loaded with trope examples. Perhaps someone here can remember it?
Basically the hero was approached by the Quest Giver, but remarks that he's already completed that quest (Sequence Breaking), much to the quest giver's surprise. He also admits that he hid in the corner where the boss couldn't reach and sniped him (Benevolent Architecture).

I remember a trope showing a picture from a webcomic about a guy asking his anxious girlfriend what she wants, and the girl is thinking, "another kiss?!". I can't remember the title or the article, but I know for a fact it's related to love and romance. Does anyone here know the exact trope?

Is there a trope for this specific form of Painting the Medium: when comics purposefully use different fonts for speech from the usual one, to imply something about the character or their voice? Would this just go under Speech Bubbles or Painting the Medium?

On the (currently) newest page of Two Kinds, they essentially do to wolves, and treat wolves, like the Japanese had been treated in WW 2 after Japan declared war. Namely, being imprisoned due to fear that they would help Japan. I'm not sure if there's a Historical Reflection joke or something similar, and I'd like to add the trope in after figuring out whatever the trope is.

Is it a Shout-Out, in webcomics, for the normal artist of a work doing their strip, then also have a strip by the author of another unrelated webcomic? Or would it be another trope?
What I'm thinking of is a page on The Whiteboard, where there's two strips on the page. One is TWB, and the other is a strip drawn by the artist for Commander Kitty that's related to the actions in the TWB strip.
Reading the SO page, I'm not sure whether it applies or not, hence why I'm here.

Do we have a trope for when a comic uses some sort of multi-panel visual layout trick? I'm thinking like Watchmen - in chapter 5 where the entire chapter is laid out as a visual palindrome. I see this mentioned on the page for Watchmen but not tied to a trope specifically about the layout. Another example is this Planet of Hats strip, where the entire strip is laid out with the left and right halves mirroring each other.
Closest I can find is Painting the Medium, but I'd like something more specific, if it exists.

When a work incorporates a reference to work from classical culture, like a poem or a painting, is that still a Shout-Out, or is it an Homage, or something else entirely? I just found out that the Isle of the Dead (a 19th century painting) makes an appearance as an actual island in my favourite webcomic and I'm wondering how to enter this into its tvtropes page.

Hello,
What is the trope for when a (good) character is expecting another to finally make an Heel–Face Turn, and decides to give up on him/her because said another character doesn't give them a straight answer?
Context: in the webcomic Zebra Girl, Crystal, the best friend of Sandra, the titular "Zebra Girl" who is a human turned into a demon, discovers that she is back after 5 years of banishment. Sandra was banished because she went full-demon mode (she was turned into a demon at the beginning of the strip, tried to keep her humanity, and at one point decided that if she couldn't be a normal human, she would be a normal demon), terrorized her hometown and attacked her (former) friends (going as far as torturing one of them daily - said character, who was a badass, is now suffering from severe PTSD). Crystal still hopes that maybe Sandra came back to her senses, because if she didn't, they would have no choice but to end her permanently (her current boyfriend, a werewolf, is out for her blood). In this strip, she goes to her hometown alone (ditching her friends to do so), calling out for Sandra to show herself and give her a sign that she has changed (Sandra has, but as far as Crystal's group is concerned she may still be dangerous and vengeful). Crystal kept the hope that Sandra would be back, but she is afraid that the best friend she knew is definitly gone, and she is pleading her to give her a sign, any sign, which would prove that she is no longer batshit insane and that they don't need to kill her (and that she won't hurt them either). Please also note that it is heavily implied that Crystal and Sandra's relationship goes beyond the frienship spectrum, with Sandra being in denial about her feelings towards Crystal (having realized just recently that maybe Crystal is more to her than just a friend - even when she went berserk, she avoided being pointlessly cruel towards her, and admitted that she misses her), and Crystal who may or may not have romantic feelings for Sandra.

This is kind of an odd one in that I know what the trope is, and what it was called. I remember there being an opposite trope to Girl on Girl Is Hot called Guy On Guy Is Ew, talking about how since most writers are straight males, girl on girl is more common than guy on guy. Only it seems to have vanished. Was the trope deleted, am I misremembering the name, or is this a case of the Mandela Effect?

I made the fan comic Cinema Snob Reviews Frozen, and I'm not sure what trope fits what I put up for the picture. It's The Cinema Snob complaining that someone tried to trick him into reviewing Frozen, but he talks himself into doing it anyway. I think the line counts as a Breathless Non Sequitur, but I'm not sure. It could be another trope we have, or one to put on YKTTW.
- "Someone tried to trick me into breaking my cutoff date just to talk about one of the most acclaimed animated films in years, that finally regains the magic of Disney's past classics, and why THE FUCK am I complaining about watching a good movie?"
So does anyone know what trope that fits?
