Also has a number of [[Real Life]] and less fantastic counterparts, not least because of the (minor) distinctions differentiating those who would admit (if reluctantly) that yes, [[We ARE Struggling Together!]].

* ''[[Blip]]'' got three friends, a witch, a vampire and a cyborg. So they had a "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130405072259/http://www.blipcomic.com/252/ Movie Marathon]" of things they "love" most: ''[[Harry Potter]] and the Order of the Phoenix'', ''[[Twilight]]'', and ''[[Terminator Salvation]]''.
