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.
Edited by NonoRobotopenTrope 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!
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.
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?
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?
openWebtoon Comic Webcomic
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)

openACTS DEADPAN BUT REALLY ISN'T Webcomic
There's a largely minor character in Gloomverse who seems deadpan when we first see her, but later, it appears that she's horrible at hiding her emotions when she messes up a minor thing. Is there a trope for this?
openPerson wants spouse to die but won't murder them Webcomic
Is there a specific trope for a person who wants their spouse to die but is waiting for them to die naturally instead of murdering them? Basically, a male gold digger is waiting for his terminally ill wife to die so he can inherit all of her money for himself.
Is there something like Til Murder Do Us Part but without the murder?
Edited by MaidloidopenWhat trope is this? Webcomic
The Order of the Stick: The fiends that are offering Vaarsuvius a Deal with the Devil point out that, instead of taking their offer, V could kill themself, have Qarr bring their head to the Azure City fleet, get resurrected, and Send to their master, who would defeat the ancient black dragon before she could steal V's children's souls. The purpose of pointing this out is to make sure V knows that they only accepted the deal out of Pride, as this alternative would require them to admit that they couldn't solve the problem on their own.
This feels like a variant of Last Chance to Quit; does that sound right?
openSome form of Acceptable Break From Reality? Webcomic
In El Goonish Shive, the author does a thing where when characters chat online, rather than show people typing, their avatars actually interact as if they were the actual persons. The author does this explicitly because in most cases, people typing is boring. What trope would this be?
openFan Webcomic Continuity Tropes? Webcomic
Which of these Continuity Tropes applies to Archie Sonic Online, a sort of quasi-Continuation of Archie Comics Sonic The Hedgehog:
- Broad Strokes (it accepts some of the original story as canon, but not all)
- Continuation
- Truer to the Text (trying to keep to original source material?)
I was going to add to the article some Continuity Tropes but wasn't sure which ones fitted the work page, so thought I'd ask here.

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).
