* AllGaysLoveTheater: Milo, who receives homophobic insults from other students for his participation in theatre alone. Also Hebert, who is a classmate of Milo in the acting school. Subverted with Liam, who is indifferent about the school plays until he learns that Milo is acting in them.
** Leads to this hilarious discussion between Milo and his slightly homophobic mom:
---> '''Nora''': You ''can't''!\\

* NiceJewishBoy: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Liam. Sure, at the core he ''is'' a decent kid, but around that core are layers and layers of [[DeadpanSnarker cynical snark]], social ineptitude, and [[HotBlooded quite some temper]].

--> '''Liam''': ... Why am I so ''slow''?

''[[http://www.trippingoveryou.com Tripping Over You]]'' is a SliceOfLife webcomic by Suzana Harcum and Owen White that centers on Milo and Liam, two British boarding school students with radically contrasting personalities, and how they deal with being in an (initially) secret relationship and the odd mix of humor and drama that ensues from their daily lives and their friends' too. After boarding school, the comic goes on to show how they get on with university, jobs, and coming into being adults.

* PuppyDogEyes: Milo has this down.

* RelationshipUpgrade: At the end of chapter 2.

* TheyDo: The webcomic arguably finds its groove after Milo and Liam get together and the focus shifts to showing how their relationship affects their daily lives and also developing more of their relatives and friends.

''[[http://www.trippingoveryou.com Tripping Over You]]'' is a SliceOfLife webcomic by Suzana H. and Owen W. that centers on Milo and Liam, two British boarding school students with radically contrasting personalities, and how they deal with being in an (initially) secret relationship and the odd mix of humor and drama that ensues from their daily lives and their friends' too. After boarding school, the comic goes on to show how they get on with university, jobs, and coming into being adults.

* CharacterDevelopment: Big time with both Liam and his father Eli. Liam learns to be a bit more relaxed, to let people close to him and openly talk about his feelings and wishes, and Eli goes from ice-cold, distant control freak who has taken to being called "sir" by his own son to someone who actually puts an effort into understanding and supporting Liam instead of belittling his every descision.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Milo resembles Music/{{Mika}} a lot. Ostensibly [[ShrugofGod neither confirmed nor denied]] [[CouldSayItBut by the authors]].

* LongingLook: It takes Liam a few seconds to detach his gaze from Milo's [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn unintentional tonguework]].

* UptightLovesWild: Milo is a flamboyant, well-socialized, blithe-spirited actor who loves to make himself the center of a scene; Liam is a bit of a grump when around people, doesn't like to draw attention to himself, and rather sticks to his cat and his writing. They're as happy together as can be.

* OutnumberedSibling: Milo, who has two teenage sisters and a baby half-sister.

* MismatchedEyes: Liam's cousin Alfons, due to having a GlassEye -- he actually has a whole collection of diversely coloured ones that he wears alternately.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Penny and Kat. The cast page describes them as "best friends [[FriendsWithBenefits with benefits]]"; they live together ever since boarding school and are essentially life partners in all but name.

* BiTheWay: Liam fits either in this camp or IfItsYouItsOkay with Milo; Milo is the only person he shows any attraction to in the comic, and WordOfGod is that he's either uncertain or uncomfortable labelling himself. We do get to see him flirting a bit with AlphaBitch Noel, and WordOfGod has it that [[spoiler:he lost his virginity to a girl]].

---> '''Nora''': You ''can't''!
---> '''Milo''': Can't ''what''? Be gay?
---> '''Nora''': Think of your ''future''! Your ''career''!
---> '''Milo''': [[DeadpanSnarker Wait, which? My dance career? Or theatre?]]
---> '''Nora''': Is that what this is about? Is this my fault for putting you in dance?

Now has a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TrippingOverYou Character sheet]].

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Milo, his father Dylan, and his sisters Mina and Molly [[StrongFamilyResemblance all]] to some degree, though it's more auburn than actually red.
