A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


** Also in Episode 38, the story has Linka ask Lane if he [[InsubstantialIngredients added love to his pies]], causing him to blush. The real siblings seem awkward at this -- is this a reference to ''Film/AmericanPie'', in which a boy [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbates]] with a [[UnconventionalFoodUsage pie]], or did they think Lane blushing at Linka's compliment seemed too romantic for siblings?

RTDE should only be put into a YMMV page if it's about characters being vilified and/or believed to be evil by the audience. Individual works doing that are just using Adaptational Tropes.


* RonTheDeathEater:
** In "Diary of Luan Loud", Luan wants to kill a kitten, is prejudiced against Luna for being bi, is antisemitic, is a pedophile, rapes Lincoln, has sex with Bobby to spite Lori, and beats up the twins. And she's the ''protagonist.''
** In "A Town Hates a Boy", Lisa calls Lincoln "dispensable".

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: In Episode 31, Luna says that she once wore a lampshade on her head for Halloween, only for her friends to claim not to recognise her. This was meant as a reference to the meme of replacing Luna with a lamp, yet it could also be interpreted as them [[LampshadeWearing claiming she got drunk all the time]] (albeit falsely, since she was confirmed not to drink in After Dark: 4.)

** In Episode 17, when Lincoln in the story is picked up by three {{Original Character}}s who call him heavy, one of the men reading the story claims that most of the weight would be in his head. Is he joking about how Lincoln is drawn with a large head, or is he saying that Lincoln is so {{Wangst}}y in this fanfic, his angst is weighing down his brain?
** In Episode 33, Lana mentions knowing a frog named Jeremiah. Someone in the comments mistook this for a nationalist joke about Frenchmen, but it was actually a reference to a song which had "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" as a lyric.
** In Episode 38, when Linka in the story owns a box marked, "In case the chocolate monster is about to come out", and the real (alternate) Louds wonder what the box was meant to contain. Lane jokingly suggests Pepto-Bismol -- is he referring to poop as a "chocolate monster", or is he suggesting that if Linka went insane and ate too much chocolate, she'd get indigestion?

Added DiffLines:

* LessDisturbingInContext: The episode covering "All's Fair in Pranks and War" has Lynn blushing after Lisa notes that she googled, "puppy play". Lynn was actually interested in the nonsexual version of puppy play, and only found it embarrassing due to the whole puppy aspect clashing with her toughness.
