Added example: The Adventurous Scarlet Carolus And The Machine Of Eternal Summer

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventurousScarletCarolusAndTheMachineOfEternalSummer'': On the [[https://www.sandraandwoo.com/scarlet/comic/the-machine-of-eternal-summer-001/ first page]] of the comic, Scarlet listens to an adventure story read by her mother and announces that she, too, wants to become a heroine that [[SavingTheWorld saves the world]]. Dangerous levels of genre savviness are to be expected.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/{{Realta}}'': Elowen, having been raised alone, had a lot of time to familiarize themselves with tropes from in-universe fiction that reflect ours:
** After getting a weird dream and seeing a mysterious creature:
--->'''Elowen:''' Prophetic dream...magical creature... this is just like ''The Adventures of Temperance Morrow: Into the Forest of Dreams'' Volume 3!
** After being shown [[ThereIsOnlyOneBed one bed]] to share with Amelia:
--->'''Elowen:''' What kind of romance novel tomfoolery...

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': When John starts to dismiss the idea of there being monsters in his house, Dave -- [[HypocriticalHumor despite having originally stated as much himself]] -- argues against it on the basis by comparing this to how, in horror movies, the people who dismiss monsters as childish nonsense are a) wrong, and b) going to be eaten by monsters.

** Elan [[JustifiedTrope the bard]] sometimes suffers from being ''too'' genre savvy.
** While all the characters are Genre Savvy to some extent, Elan is clearly more Savvy than the rest of them; unfortunately, his status as CloudCuckoolander means that the others are only inclined to dismiss his concerns in their moments of GenreBlindness, only to learn too late that they really should have paid attention. Eerily, he can come off as a GeniusDitz these days.

** Elan's mentor Julio Scoundrel does this as well, and a big part of what he taught Elan was how to weaponize it. When they part ways he states that he sincerely hopes they never meet again since that would invoked the MentorOccupationalHazard; however, at the most dramatically appropriate moment he comes back anyway for the sheer pleasure of defying the trope. Apparently Julio and Tarquin clashed many times, but despite their similarities neither thinks the other is more than a minor side character in their personal stories.

* Meji from ''WebComic/ErrantStory'' is quite up-to-date on her tropes. Among the more notable examples is her awareness of the dangers of SuperpowerMeltdown ("All the stories that starts like this ends with 'And then his head exploded...'") and her instant recognition of [[http://www.errantstory.com/2007-06-27/673 the sheer number of tropes involved in the backstory of the Amraphel siblings]]. Ellis, as well as several minor characters, also gets in on the action from time to time, but she's a step ahead of them -- at one point, she deliberately invokes DeusExMachina. Literally '[[http://www.errantstory.com/2002-12-30/39 invokes]]'...
