History Webcomic / WhiteDarkLife

* YouNoTakeCandle: Devin and Nessie speak like this. Devin because she has no schooling, and Nessie because her [[EnthrallingSiren voice makes men go crazy.]]

* CuteMonsterGirl: Multiple of the female characters are at least part monster. This trope applies specifically to [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Artemis and Priscilla]], [[Anime/SonicX Cosmo and Ivy]], [[CatGirl Tori]], [[SnakePeople Saru]], and [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Uma]]. Inu and Damien can qualify for Cute Monster Boys.

* RealityEnsues:
** During the Mogeko Castle RP arc, Dream theorizes that King mogeko might be tormenting Ne's mind directly [[spoiler:just like the way he does to Yonaka in the "good" ending of ''VideoGame/MogekoCastle'']], and suspects that Miriam might try killing the king to fix Ne's mind. When confronted, King mogeko states that [[spoiler:he'd never "play" with another guy; Ne's fear is purely from the events in the castle. King mogeko ''is'', however, artificially sustaining that fear in order to use Ne as bait in order to get Miriam.]]
** As it turns out, trying to make an (albeit pretty mature) five-year-old horny is a very good way to creep them out and make them harbor an '''intense''' dislike for a person. [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/434098632/3864545486 Leila can only say "oops" to that idea.]]
** After Snake-Jaw utterly destroys Esther's [[ClothingDamage shirt and bra]] while trying to kill her, Artemis supplies her with a new pair, to which Esther immediately questions if the underwear has a perverted enchantment. Artemis quickly points out that it's just an [[BreastExpansion inflatable bra]] and calls the idea of magic underwear stupid.

* PregnantBadass: Synder is shown in almost every scene as being heavily pregnant, as she is a surrogate mother. She is also [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons a dragon, which speaks for itself]].

An amateur webcomic by a Website/DeviantArt user dubbed "[[@/PrinnyOverlord pommyman]]". The medium was originally fan fiction, but then progressed to MS paint and from there to more elaborate hand drawings, with the story occasionally changing as the cartoonist changed their approach to story telling. The story itself is a fan fiction, but an overarching story is unfortunately missing in favor of shenanigans that don't follow much of a sense of time. The actual plot itself is about Matthew Mokaray, who unfortunately fell off a building during a field trip before the whole thing even started. Due to being lackluster all in all, he is split into two parts: one going to heaven, the other to hell. What follows is his training to become the guardian angel of an alternate [[Anime/SonicX Cosmo]] and keep the demonic half of him and his girlfriend Artemis from terrorizing the poor plant girl. HilarityEnsues between fighting the "evil" Dark Matt and dealing with the resident fool, Collin.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Multiple of the female characters are at least part monster. This trope applies specifically to [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Artemis and Priscilla]], [[Anime/SonicX Cosmo]] [[PlantPerson and Ivy]], [[CatGirl Tori]], [[SnakePeople Saru]], and [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Uma]]. Inu and Damien can qualify for Cute Monster Boys.

* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:Altair plans complete and total [[FinalSolution genocide]] and CessationOfExistence for the inhabitants of hell, both present and future, for the sole fact that [[HornyDevil Artemis]] fell in love with him]].

* DistractedByTheSexy: [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/577188445/4017747102 A hilarious example]] occurs in the "Growing Pains in the Neck" roleplay. Maxmillian Schneider, who, due to a... ''strange'' childhood, has no understanding of his libido, nonetheless gets distracted enough to walk into a pole upon noticing Esther Mokary's [[http://pommyman.deviantart.com/art/Growing-Pains-In-the-Neck-577188445 recent]] [[BuxomIsBetter growth]] [[HartmanHips spurt]].

* DoggedNiceGuy: B.I.L.L. ([[FunWithAcronyms Boyfriend Invented for Lonely Ladies]]) is programmed to be ludicrously nice to women, being advertised as the perfect boyfriend. Unfortunately, this annoys the Head Maid, since she can't return him without the receipt and he was a gift.

* TheDreaded: Demon Lord rank demons tend to be this, with the Astartes being the main exception (Most of the time). On the other hand, Luke is this to the Demon Lords for simply being that powerful.

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: Damien when he becomes Blake.]]

* {{Fiction500}}: Dark Matt is implied to have a huge check, what with being an actor and all, though it's really the maid who falls into this, as she hoards all of the money she charges for dealing with Damien. It is implied she could run for office with what she has.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: These happen from time to time. For example, Nessie opening what looks like a gift-wrapped fish to find a chess set.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Collin is beyond repulsive, but the most annoying thing about him is that he genuinely believes he is friends with everyone and invincible, so it's impossible to get rid of him should he start hanging out.

* GagBoobs: The Head Maid is often the butt of this type of physical humor, while ironically being the SMALLEST compared to the others listed here. Caroline is second smallest and also frequently has her size mocked, but she isn't fazed that much. Eloria is third bustiest but [[HiddenBuxom tries to hide hers and is usually seen as flat chested]]. And finally Rosa is the bustiest character of them all by virtue of being a '''G''' cup! Strangely, Synder doesn't count despite having the 2nd biggest bust.

* HeelFaceTurn: Lucas, the father of Cosmo and Galaxina; if the name seems unfamiliar, his former title -- [[spoiler:Dark Oak]] -- may ring a bell instead.
** [[spoiler:Dark Matt and Artemis have undergone this by the time of the time skip.]]
** The GUN Commander is shown to be overall less antagonistic, reflecting the events of ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog''.
* HeroicBSOD: Matt's one response to [[spoiler:Tori divorcing him is to just flat out stop projecting himself in the mortal world]].

** Kris is a male example, though he is far less successful than Artemis.

** Most of the gags involving Rebecca are her being a hypocrite.

%%** Of course, Dream and Damien, Justin and Ivy, and Maxmillian and Esther are crossover examples of this being played straight (to [[PuppyLove varying]] [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove degrees]] [[ObliviousToLove of straight]]).

** The roleplays are considered this, to a ludicrous degree.
*** And how could we forget the first time this happened and eventually led to all the rps? Galaxina's Inside Story is a WholePlotReference to ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory''. It would later get a remake following the game's official remake, complete with Priscilla joining for the ''VideoGame/BowserJrsJourney'' plotline.
* CrushFilter: This is actually how Matt and Tori started dating. After being cured of sin poisoning, Matt's memories of the past few days get a little blurred together and exaggerated Tori's niceness towards him. Surprisingly, it works out.

** This happens somewhat regularly in the roleplays.
** DistressedDude: Dark Matt's final attempt at antagonizing Cosmo has him kidnap Matt so that Cosmo comes to him. [[spoiler:This is mostly in hopes that she dies in a death trap where he can't see her die.]]
*** Both are combined for the 2031 part of the comic where Blake attacks Ivy and Sky at the same time, though, Matt's [[TookALevelInBadass new levels in badass]] means they aren't kidnapped often, just imperiled.
** This happens frequently in the roleplays, and frequently causes RescueRomance.

* DCupDistress: The Head Maid really hates being as large as she is. Of course, if you had GagBoobs, you wouldn't be happy either.

** NinjaMaid: The Head Maid does not take kindly to people messing with her.
** RobotMaid: Mildred is of the MobileSuitHuman kind.
* MasterOfYourDomain: Tulip and Lily Natchralli have this as one of their primary abilities.

* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: This is true for Tora, who is one of the few characters to not get a spouse post-time skip, but BILL certainly doesn't see anything wrong with chasing after the [[KickChick Head Maid]].

* OffModel: Sonic and co are both a tad thinner and taller looking. The black and white style also makes their muzzles more pronounced. Eggman is also affected by this.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are two people named Alison. One was Collin's girlfriend, the other is one of the many deaths.
** The [=RPs=] avert this even further, as there are two people named Rebecca, Damien, Altair, Artemis, Marcus, and Matthew. Even funnier is that both Matthews have a relationship with Uma (one is her father, the other is her wannabe boyfriend). There are also two Rebecca's and Rosa's post-timeskip.
*** [[spoiler:Actually, there are three Matthews if you count Luigifan.]] And the second Artemis and Altair just so happen to be from ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman 64}}''.

* RealityEnsues: During the Mogeko Castle RP arc, Dream theorizes that King mogeko might be tormenting Ne's mind directly [[spoiler:just like the way he does to Yonaka in the "good" ending of ''VideoGame/MogekoCastle'']], and suspects that Miriam might try killing the king to fix Ne's mind. When confronted, King mogeko states that [[spoiler:he'd never "play" with another guy; Ne's fear is purely from the events in the castle. King mogeko ''is'', however, artificially sustaining that fear in order to use Ne as bait in order to get Miriam.]]

* RecruitmentByRescue: This trope is how the Heroes' League was formed in a nutshell.

** Of course, Dream and Damien, Justin and Ivy, and Maxmillian and Esther are crossover examples of this being played straight (to [[PuppyLove varying]] [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove degrees]] [[ObliviousToLove of straight]]).
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[AccidentalAesop Unintentionally]] deconstructed with Entegra, whose {{Jerkass}} behavior is largely (though not entirely) fueled by the pain of losing her children.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Inverted. Matt finds blood gross, so his swords, while able to slice through people, don't cut things. Justified in that his powers are implied to be on a mental level. [[spoiler:The same is true of Dark Matt.]]

* AllYourPowersCombined: Matt's main ability is mimicking various characters and gaining their powers (and weaknesses), and he can even combine two skill sets at once. Unfortunately, this can eat up his stamina pretty fast. Dark Matt has this ability too, [[spoiler:at least before the time skip]].

* AloofBigBrother: Ben. He is superior to Matt in everything but screen time and occasionally sanity, but hardly helps his dead brother.
** [[spoiler:Though this is likely due to Ben's deadened (read: completely) sense of reality, having seen a long line of combat campaigns under the banner of one of Orbis's residential leaders, Queen Sephise, '''before''' returning back to where the comic takes place.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: Mimicry sometimes falls into this category depending on what is being mimicked, where the impractical part goes from "drains stamina like mad" to "kills the user in minutes". Especially when double and triple mimicry are involved.

* BigEater: Damien, Dark Matt's son. Natural given that he's a demon symbolizing gluttony.

* BigFun: Post-time-skip Tori is certainly seen as such by her children.

* [[spoiler:BrainwashedAndCrazy: Blake is the result of Damien's [[EnemyWithin shadow]] taking over his mind.]]

* BreastExpansion: At one point, Esther is forced to wear an inflatable bra from Artemis. It actually proves to be somewhat helpful.

* ButtMonkey: Caroline, though it's mostly because of the crowd she ends up being in.

* CasanovaWannabe: Collin. Good ''lord'', Collin. The only thing that keeps him from being a rapist is lacking the physical strength to subdue the average (or even below-average) woman. [[spoiler:He loses this entirely after the time skip.]]

* ChessWithDeath: Bowling, actually.
* ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: Tori and Matt fit this to a T.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Devin [[spoiler:pre-time skip]].

* MorphicResonance: Unless a mimic is trying to perfectly copy someone they'll usually have incredibly obvious hints on who they really are. Sort of justified in that, it's typically just the clothes that change.

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Luigifan will never, ''ever'' live down the time he accidentally hit Uma in the face with a glass bottle and knocked her unconscious. Even worse were the ''contents'' -- he ''tried'' to make a LovePotion using assorted pheromones. What he ''actually'' made, due to not being all that much of a chemist, is a stinkbomb.

*** [[spoiler:Actually, there are three Matthews if you count Luigifan.]] And the second Artemis and Altair just so happen to be from VideoGame/{{Bomberman 64}}.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: While there is technically no radar to speak of, Entegra still says "wanker" without it being censored like several other curse words.

* AProtagonistIsRyu: Ryu Tsukino fits this trope almost word for word, though he lacks a rival and has a bigger ego than most.

* PettingZooPeople: As a Sonic fan comic, this is a given.

A new part simply referred to as "Gen 3" is currently in the works wherein, [[CaptainObvious Ivy, Sky, and the rest have grown up and become parents themselves]] and both of Matt's halves relationships inadvertently cause angels and demons to take interest in living with the living. Even though they have been accepted into the world, some aren't as willing to share with beings with such supernatural abilities and plan to seal away not only angels and demons, but also those that carry their blood. Such as Sol and Luna Mokary...

* AProtagonistIsRyu: [[CaptainObvious Ryu Tsukino]] fits this trope almost word for word, though he lacks a rival and has a bigger ego than most.

HilarityEnsues between fighting the "evil" Dark Matt and dealing with the resident fool, Collin.

The comic also has another side, viewed from Ben's point of view and maintained by user and irregular troper [[Tropers/AltairenDraconis AltairenDraconis]], AD for short for those thinking it a mouthful, in the form of Data Log journals. These can be found [[http://altairendraconis.deviantart.com/ here]]. Mind you they do get a bit wordy with upwards of a thousand plus words in each. The plots of these also tend to run parallel rather than with the comic.

* FanCharacter: Most of the characters of the webcomic are this.

*** And how could we forget the first time this happened and eventually led to all the rps? Galaxina's Inside Story is a WholePlotReference to ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory''.

* FiveBadBand: Dark Matt and Artemis operate like this, in stark contrast to the LegionOfDoom mentioned below.
** BigBad/[[spoiler:TheDragon]]: Dark Matt.
** TheDragon/[[spoiler:TheManBehindTheMan]]: Artemis.
** TheEvilGenius: Dark Ben, though not of his own volition.
** TheBrute: Damien.
** TheDarkChick: Devin.
** Blake's group works a bit like this as well despite only having three members, mainly by Mildred and Alen/Elan working double time.
*** The BigBad: Blake.
*** TheEvilGenius / TheDarkChick: Mildred.
*** TheBrute / TheDragon: Alen and Elan.

The medium was originally (bad) fan fiction, but then progressed to MS paint and from there to more elaborate hand drawings, with the story occasionally changing as the cartoonist changed their approach to story telling. The story itself is a fan fiction, but an overarching story is unfortunately missing in favor of shenanigans that don't follow much of a sense of time.

HilarityEnsues between fighting the "evil" Dark Matt and dealing with the resident fool, Collin.

* AccidentalAesop: Entegra's actions can easily be seen as a deconstruction of the RoaringRampageOfRevenge trope, except pommyman never intended for that. Entegra's character was simply supposed to be a grumpy Brit.

* DevelopmentGag: The Head Maid is given a dress with a large floofy skirt for Christmas, a joke on her old design before it was changed to a slimmer look.

* FunnyAnimal/PettingZooPeople: As a Sonic fan comic, this is a given.

* RonTheDeathEater: [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 GUN]] is portrayed in a mildly poor light simply because pommyman thinks they're pretty dumb already. Shadow, Rouge, Omega, and [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog the Commander]] are exempt from this, however.

The medium was originally (bad) fan fiction, but then progressed to ms paint and from there to decent hand drawings, with the story changing as well on occasion as the cartoonist gets better at story telling. The story itself is a fan fiction but is unfortunately rather missing in favor of shenanigans that don't follow much of a sense of time.

** [[spoiler:Played straight in the case of Ben's regular main melee weapon of choice, it having the power to rend space (though it rarely sees use here).]]

* AdoringThePests: One of the many reasons no one likes Gloria is that she keeps parasitic cockroaches as pets. Bear in mind that these are demonic roaches that to other gluttony demons cause agonizing pain if they get into your body.

* EvilCounterpart: Dark Matt sees himself as this to Matt, and most of his shenanigans are aimed at reinforcing this image. [[spoiler:However, much like Matt, his fear of blood prevents him from actually committing murder, or even lasting harm. Due to this, as well as numerous other circumstances, Dark Matt [[HeelFaceTurn drops the charade entirely]] after the time skip.]]

* HandicappedBadass: The Head Maid [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe lost her lower body]] and now has prosthetic legs. Said prosthetics can break kevlar with a quick kick.

* [[spoiler:IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Dark Matt, whose efforts at true villainy are hamstrung by his fear of blood and violence. As a result, he can't bring himself to do anything more than PokeThePoodle.]]

* LegionOfDoom: The main comics don't really have one, but in the roleplays, the League of Villains definitely qualifies. Led by SelfDemonstrating/{{Bowser}}, its other members include [[SelfDemonstrating/DoctorEggman Dr. Eggman]] (who is TheDragon), Grodus, Cackletta, Mysto, Mephiles, SelfDemonstrating/{{Ganondorf}}, and Andross. Interestingly, while Bowser is officially the leader (having founded the group in the first place), and Bowser's Castle is their main base of operations, in practice, its members take turns being in charge, with the one who came up with the current EvilPlan acting as the figurehead. And the League of Villains is ''not'' the entire RoguesGallery, not by a long shot.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Silver and Blaze's family have this in the roleplays. The only people to dislike them are either their enemies(for all of them), [[MySisterIsOffLimits Justin]](for Sunlight), or [[EnragedByIdiocy Inu and Uma]](for Torch).

** After Snake-jaw utterly destroys Esther's [[ClothingDamage shirt and bra]] while trying to kill her, Artemis supplies her with a new pair to which Esther immediately questions if the underwear has a perverted enchantment. Artemis quickly points out that it's just an [[BreastExpansion inflatable bra]] and calls the idea of magic underwear stupid.

Caroline is second smallest and also frequently has her size mocked, but she isn't fazed that much. Eloria is third bustiest but [[HiddenBuxom tries to hide hers and is usually seen as flat chested]]. And finally Rosa is the bustiest character of them all by virtue of being a <b>G</b> cup! Strangely, Synder doesn't count despite having the 2nd biggest bust.

* GagBoobs: The Head Maid is often the butt of this type of physical humor, while ironically being the SMALLEST compared to the others listed here. The even bustier Eloria also finds herself in this category [[HiddenBuxom no matter how much she tries to hide it]]. Caroline and Rosa are also in this category, especially Rosa, who is the bustiest character by virtue of being a G cup. Strangely, Synder doesn't count despite having the 2nd biggest bust.
