Line 19:
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The mountain hamlet does the [[Torches and Pitchforks]] thing to Skärva and Derk once because he demanded food as their ruler, then because he tried to steal it, and then finally he gave up and just tried buying it, but he didn't have any money.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare the first page of the comic with some of the newer ones.
* [[Art Shift]]: A crayon coloring illustrates the path that must be taken to reach Frostbite Fortress.
** Skärva's moments of overlord mania often induce these.
** Lorelei's recurring nightmare.
Line 46:
* [[Bookcase Passage]]: In Skärva's office.
* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]: Davis is never seen without one.
* [[Burning with Anger]]: The wizard of the Temple of Terror.
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: Skärva delightfully proclaims his name to anyone that will listen. Many people, including Lorelei, have never heard of him.
** When Davis returns, it takes some prodding before Skärva remembers who he is.
Line 75:
* [[Everything's Better with Penguins]]: [[Added Alliterative Appeal|Frozio of Frostbite Fortress]] is a penguin.
* [[Evil Makes You Monstrous]]: At least, in the case of Lord Skärva's great-grandfather. If it wasn't for him, the Skärva's would never look like they do.
* [[Evil Plan]]: On the tram ride to Frostbite Fortress, Skärva explains that he is looking for a place to hide the last piece of the [[Infinity+1 Sword|Sword of Stabbing]] to the newcomer, Lorelei. But before he finishes his [[Evil Gloating]], [[Crowning Moment of Funny|the tram driver points out a "No Evil Plotting" sign.]]
* [[Excited Kids' Show Host]]: Derk is ''very'' excited to be [[M Cing]] a castle staff meeting. The crowd, not so much.
** Except [[Cloudcuckoolander|Slice.]]
Line 95:
{{quote|'''Lorelei''': It's a town, silly! Of course there's a wise old man!}}
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: One page dedicates a panel to Blank rummaging around in his pocket to pull out a spray plunger.
* [[I Am Not My Father]]: Lord Tiberius Skärva the Fourth WILL be the one to destroy that pesky [[The Hero|Blank]] if it kills him!
** ...which it might.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Blank defeats Ecta and the ghosts with a spray plunger full of starch.
Line 134:
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Dropped by Lorelei when running to Skärva's aid. Not the F-word you think it is, though.
* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: Averted; Veronika does ''not''.
* [[Punctuated!
{{quote|'''Skärva''': Let's. Just. Move. On.}}
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Lorelei has quite the pair.
Line 142:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: In spades.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Not often, but occasionally. To their credit, Victor and Courtney are the first to acknowledge it and usually put up something anyway to tide the fans over until the next release, so [[Tropes Are Not Bad|it's not really a loss.]]
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Frostbite Fortress.
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: Skärva's dead father tries to be this for him. Skärva, however, will have none of it.
* [[Shark Man]]: Skärva, and presumably his ancestors up to the First (upon whom the original curse that produced this effect was placed).
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: Implied. After so much time spent touring through Frostbite Fortress and Molten Mountain, Blank's progress through them comes under [[Time Skip|Time Skips]] and he immediately reaches Skärva's castle. After Frozen Fortress, the only remote mention of the dungeon is the fact that Blank acquired the Sword of Stabbing, which is what Skärva hid there.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The whole comic's premise is based on [[The Legend of Zelda]]
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Davis's [[Badass Boast]] gets cut off midsentence by Blank.
* [[Shutting Up Now]]: Ecta furiously demands a more competent team than Floyd and Slice. Skärva gives her a magnificent [[Death Glare]] and she sheepishly runs like hell.
