| 3 | ''Empath: The Luckiest Smurf'' is a fanfiction series created by Vic George that is based on Franchise/TheSmurfs. It features his main character Empath Smurf, who is born with [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic]] and [[MindOverMatter telekinetic abilities]]. It is set in [[PatchworkFic its own universe]] mostly based around the [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 1980s cartoon show]], but also featuring characters from ComicBook/TheSmurfs comic books, Sony Pictures' live-action ''Film/TheSmurfs'' film series, ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'', ''ComicBook/JohanAndPeewit'', and [[MerchandiseDriven the [=PVC=] toy character line]]. Originally a secular fanfiction, it has evolved into a more Christian version of the Smurfs franchise due to its original character Tapper becoming more Christian as the series progressed. |

There's also ''Reporter's Inside Stories'', which is a series of interviews with Smurf characters from the main series, and ''A Narrator's Story'', which consists of non-canonical adaptations of existing Smurfs comic book stories. |

| 7 | As of December 2023, the series has been put on a temporary hiatus so that its author could focus on ''Literature/TheJeremiahSchool'', an original Christian fantasy book project that is similar to ''Franchise/HarryPotter''. |

| 9 | !!Tropes: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The origin of the Smurfs being changed from them all being Papa Smurf's sons that were born by DeliveryStork to them being sons of Papa Smurf's fellow Smurfs, with the parents dying off from an OnlyFatalToAdults [[ThePlague plague]] and Papa Smurf being forced to adopt them all as his sons. |
| 12 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Duncan [=McSmurf=] as the CaptainErsatz of Gutsy is given brown hair whereas Gutsy has ginger hair. Also, Duncan has green plaid instead of blue. |
| 13 | * AdaptationNameChange: |
| 14 | ** Gutsy from the live-action films is renamed Duncan [=McSmurf=] in this series, although he is still called Gutsy as an insult by his friend/rival Hefty. |
| 15 | ** The Book That Tells Everything from the comic books is renamed The Great Book Of Answers in the story of the same name. |
| 16 | ** Also Adhemar and Godillot from the comic book story "The Jewel Smurfer" are renamed Stanley and Simon in the adaptation "Empath The Bandit Smurf". |
| 17 | * AdaptedOut: Certain Smurf characters from the cartoon show, the comic books, and the live-action films do not appear in this series. |
| 18 | %% * AdiposeRex: King Glouton from the story "Chez Empath". |
| 19 | * AdventuresInTheBible: Done via [[{{Hologram}} Imaginarium]] instead of time travel in the story "The Smurf Of Solomon", as Empath tries to find out who "the Beloved" in the Song Of Solomon that Smurfette was enamored to is. Played straight through time travel in "Smurfed Behind: The Passion Of The Smurfs" when the Smurfs visit Jerusalem during the time of Jesus' death and resurrection. |
| 20 | * AlternateTimeline: Two of the stories deal with alternate timelines where Smurfette marries other Smurfs: Papa Smurf in one, and Hefty in another. A third alternate timeline has a non-powered Empath become Wild Smurf. |
| 21 | * AlternateUniverseFic: Besides its PatchworkFic status, its other alternate universe elements are (1) the Smurfs are all born through physical reproduction instead of through a DeliveryStork, (2) Papa Smurf had other fellow Smurfs in his generation as the parents of "his little Smurfs", but have all died during ThePlague, leaving the children as orphans, and (3) the boy Smurflings were never de-aged adult Smurfs and Sassette was a real female Smurfling who was trapped in a CrystalPrison. |
| 22 | * TheAlternet: This series has the Mirror Net (a medieval fantasy version of the Internet that uses magic mirrors), with Hogatha the witch contacting other sorcerers through [[{{Website/Facebook}} Magebook]]. |
| 23 | * AmnesiaMissedASpot: In the novel, the Psyche Master claims to have completely erased all of Empath's memories as an infant so that he would have no memory of ever being [[spoiler:Papa Smurf's only biological son]]. However, the erasure procedure left only that memory of the infant Empath crying when he saw his father leave him in Psychelia just moments before the procedure started. |
| 24 | %%* AndImTheQueenOfSheba: How Grouchy responds to Empath in [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121003121524/smurfsfanon/images/a/ae/Grouchy_Drunk_Again.jpg this cartoon]]. |
| 25 | * ArrangedMarriage: Psyches are purposely bonded to members of the same sex with the Psyche Master choosing the partners. As it turns out, Empath has been bonded to Polaris Psyche. |
| 26 | * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Empath in the story "Smurfing In Heaven" is made to believe this is what happened to him when he was left alone by the other Smurfs when they were lost in time-travel...that he died and has now ascended to Elysium to be with the other Smurfs who have also presumably perished, where he will be given the mantle of godhood. As it turns out, Empath really didn't die and the Elysium he was taken to was a magical illusion created by Ares the god of war in order to lure his object of admiration into becoming his god of conquest. |
| 27 | * AwfulTruth: The awful truth Papa Smurf was trying to keep from Empath until his 150th birthday? [[spoiler:Empath is Papa Smurf's only biological son, and Papa Smurf had purposely sent Empath away to Psychelia because he feared how his son would be treated by his fellow Smurfs because of his telepathic and telekinetic powers.]] |
| 28 | * BackFromTheDead: "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf" plays on this, having the parents of all of Empath's fellow Smurfs (as well as Empath's own mother) return from the dead just before New Year's Eve. It turns out to be a spell-induced hallucination cast upon the Smurfs by their nemesis Chlorhydris, which surprisingly doesn't affect Smurfette, Polaris Psyche, or the three boy Smurflings. |
| 29 | * BackstoryHorror: It's amazing how most of the Smurfs under Papa Smurf's care live happy, carefree lives like in [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 the 1980s cartoon show]], given that the parents who were the Smurfs of Papa Smurf's generation have all died in ThePlague that is OnlyFatalToAdults back when the Smurfs were just little Smurflings. And of course, there's Papa Smurf subjecting [[spoiler:his only begotten son]] Empath to 150 years of living in Psychelia with a group of xenophobic emotionless telepaths. |
| 30 | %%* BadGuyBar: The Slime Bar is implied to be one, though it is only mentioned in "Wild's First Christmas". |
| 31 | %%* BarBrawl: Hefty, Tuffy, and Duncan [=McSmurf=] get into one with the Wartmongers in "Empath The Wartmonger". |
| 32 | * BeatStillMyHeart: Attempted and failed by Lord Vladimir Smurfula in the story "Smurphony Of The Night" when he tries to magically rip Empath's heart out of his chest, only to be [[HolyBurnsEvil repelled by Empath's holy symbol]]. |

| 34 | %%* BigYes: Snappy when he first hears that Empath and Smurfette are going to be married in "Empath's Wedding". |
| 35 | * BirthdayBeginning: The novel begins on the main character's 150th birthday, which turns out to be the day when he is finally released from being in Psychelia, and most of the Smurfs in the village are preparing for his birthday and his arrival home. 150 years for a Smurf (particularly a male Smurf) is basically the age of entering adulthood, as in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' cartoon show. |
| 36 | * BlindMusician: Orbit Smurf has light-sensitive eyes that require him to wear a wraparound visor at all times, but is very good at composing and playing music. |
| 37 | * BloodMagic: In "Where The Wind Carries You", which is an adaptation of the cartoon show episode "Never Smurf Off Till Tomorrow", Tapper (who appears in the place of the adult Nat Smurf among the Smurfs who were taken by the hurricane and dumped inside a volcano from which they escape) claims the blood of Jesus Christ over himself and his fellow Smurfs to protect them from the sharks that come swimming around them, ready to devour them. Whether it is because of this or what Tapper says, the sharks eventually swim away, leaving the Smurfs unharmed. |
| 38 | %%* BondingOverMissingParents: The explanation for why Papa Smurf is the sole parent of a hundred Smurfs in the fanfiction series. |
| 39 | * BornAsAnAdult: Actually, Psyches are grown in gestation chambers for a year until they become the equivalent of 50-year-old Smurflings. No specific reason is given for this. |
| 40 | * BouquetToss: In the novel and its companion story "Empath's Wedding", the bouquet toss is combined with the garter toss, and while Sassette gets the bouquet that Smurfette tosses, Snappy gets the garter (which he calls a "slingshot") that Empath tosses. Nat points that the one who catches the "slingshot" must marry the one who catches the bouquet, and [[BrainBleach both Snappy and Sassette stick out their tongues at the horrid thought that they must someday]] ''[[BrainBleach marry each other]]''. |
| 41 | * BrainBleach: |
| 42 | ** In the story "Smurfette's Inner Beauty", when Empath, Brainy, and Duncan [=McSmurf=] follow Hogatha to a Wizard's Ball after her magical makeover: |
| 43 | -->'''Empath''': It seems that Hogatha wants Harlequin to spend a night with her in her castle. |
| 44 | -->'''Duncan''': That's certainly a picture that I don't want smurfing in my head, laddie. |
| 45 | ** Sassette says she'd have this if Tapper was serving it in his tavern to make her forget about ever hearing about Empath and Polaris [[GRatedSex "sharing dreams"]] with each other in "Flowerbell's Love Triangle." |
| 46 | * BrainsAndBrawn: The [[{{Oireland}} Oirish]] Bible-thumping [[TheBartender bartender]] Tapper and the BraveScot Duncan [=McSmurf=] are this kind of duo, as are the twin brothers Handy and Hefty. |
| 47 | * BridalCarry: In two separate alternate timelines where Smurfette is married to someone, her husband picks her up and carries her out of the kitchen, supposedly into the bedroom. |
| 48 | * BroadStrokes: This series' treatment of the Smurfs cartoon show as part of its history, as well as some of the comic book stories and the AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAndTheMagicFlute''. |
| 49 | * BubblePipe: In a ''Reporter's Inside Stories'' interview with Papa Smurf, which is part of this series, Papa Smurf is seen with a smoking pipe and is chided by Reporter about how harmful smoking is... until he sees that Papa Smurf is blowing bubbles with his pipe. |
| 50 | * BuffySpeak: In the story adaptation "A Haunted Christmas", Duncan [=McSmurf=] chides with his friend Tapper that he would rather see Tapper alone with Smurfette in the tavern doing...well, "intimate things." |
| 51 | * ButNowIMustGo: Smurfette in "I Dream Of Smurfette" thinks that it's time for her to leave the village once she realizes she's made the entire village except for Papa Smurf fearful because of their having [[NocturnalEmission "the Smurfette dream"]]. Fortunately, her fellow Smurfs were able to talk her out of doing that. |
| 52 | * CaptainsLog: Empath occasionally begins the story with an entry in his personal journal, and in some stories updates his journal with things that took place in the story from his perspective. |
| 53 | * CatUpATree: Empath rescues a kitten that climbed up a tree in the framing story of "Under The Cat's Paw". |

| 55 | * CarpetOfVirility: Papa Smurf with his chest and belly hair in Hulk mode in "Papa's Big Crush". |
| 56 | * CelebrityParadox: Averted in this series. {{Creator/Peyo}} is still the creator of ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'' in this universe, only the details of how he would come up with the idea of the Smurfs is different, based on a certain artifact that Handy and Empath have created in "Days Of Future Smurfed". |
| 57 | * ChezRestaurant: The story title "Chez Empath" isn't about a restaurant, but about Empath being the village cook. |
| 58 | * ChickMagnet: Papa Smurf in "Virtual Smurfality" becomes this when he ends up being the only Smurf left in the Imaginarium beach setting and the imaginary Smurfettes are all chasing after him. |
| 59 | %% ** Empath in his normal state can sometimes be this. |
| 60 | * ChildOfTwoWorlds: Empath is born a Smurf but raised as a Psyche from infancy, and thus struggles with who he wishes to identify himself as when he finds out the truth of his actual parentage. |
| 61 | * CigaretteOfAnxiety: Duncan [=McSmurf=] decides to get stoned out of his mind with [[FantasticDrug smurfnip]] in an alternate timeline story where he witnesses Smurfette marrying Papa Smurf. Grouchy in the main timeline story "Smurfnip Madness" tries to resist the temptation of smoking a smurfnip cigarette, but ends up succumbing to it and almost being arrested by Brainy and Hefty posing as police officers. |
| 62 | %% * ComingOutStory: Sort of for Clumsy in "My Unsmurfy Valentine." The object of his affections, Brainy, doesn't reciprocate, though. |
| 63 | * CommonTongue: In the series, there's Smurf language, and there's human language which most beings (humans and non-humans alike) speak, including Psyches (though they call it Psychelian). There's also the "lost languages" of the Smurfs, which correspond to other human languages, such as Schtroumpf (French), Pitufo (Spanish), Schlumpf (German), Puffo (Italian), and Smurfentaal (Dutch). Painter Smurf occasionally speaks in Schtroumpf while Zipper tends to speak in Pitufo at times. |
| 64 | %% * ContinuityNod: Plenty of it in reference to the ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' cartoon show. |
| 65 | * CrapsackWorld: The year 2005 for the Smurfs is this, as seen in "Days Of Future Smurfed". Their village is long gone, the forest is dwindling due to the increasing human population, and there are (presumably) only two Smurfs left living in the world. The only HopeSpot they have is that their legend has been passed down to a human ({{Creator/Peyo}}) who has made the Smurfs known to the world, if only as "his own cartoon creations". |
| 66 | * CrashingDreams: In the mini-story "Lazy's Birthday Dream", Lazy dreams that he is having a beer-and-weed (read: sarsaparilla ale and smurfnip) birthday party with his fellow Smurfs when he hears his name constantly called out to him, which turn out to be his friends waking him up for his (real) birthday party. |
| 67 | %% * CreatingLifeIsBad: The Psyche Master became the creator of his own MasterRace, the morally-ambiguous Psyches. |
| 68 | %% * CriminalAmnesiac: Empath as the Bandit Smurf. |
| 69 | * CrystalPrison: Sassette as a real young female Smurfling was put into suspended animation inside a crystal. |
| 70 | %% * CursedWithAwesome: The reindeer with the shiny nose? [[Literature/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer Doesn't he remind you of someone...?]] |
| 71 | * DancePartyEnding: "My Unsmurfy Valentine" ends with the Valentine's Day dance party that the Smurfs attend after dealing with being affected by Eros' lust arrows and most of the male Smurfs kissing each other. |
| 72 | * DataCrystal: In the series, all memory of Smurf history that was transferred into Empath's mind from his great-grandson in the future has been transferred into a magical memory crystal, which in-universe will be given to {{Creator/Peyo}} so that he can create ''Franchise/TheSmurfs''. |
| 73 | * DeadlyDisc: Prior to his being transported into a ''Film/{{TRON}}''-like world in "Inside The Game", Hefty plays a game of frisbee dodgeball with his fellow Smurfs, which Smurfette sees as a brutal game. |
| 74 | * DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Papa Smurf becomes the sole parent of about a hundred Smurfs because their parents have all passed away due to ThePlague. However, some of them also had the foresight to teach their children important skills that would be useful in their lives, although they never expected those skills to come in handy after such a loss of parents. |
| 75 | * DecompositeCharacter: Due to Nat Smurf not appearing in the series as anything but a Smurfling from Smurfling Island, the adult Nat Smurf's characteristics in the stories that he appeared in from the cartoon show were divvied up between Tracker and Tapper. |
| 76 | * DeliveryStork: Subverted in this series, as the Smurfs here are capable of physical reproduction. The stork carrying Baby Smurf to the Smurf Village is a unique example, since Baby Smurf in this series came from Smurfling Island. |
| 77 | * DeusExMachina: In "The Other Smurfette" during the court case between Empath and Hogatha as Wonderette, Empath was declared guilty of sexual assault unto Wonderette due to the lack of evidence supporting Empath's claim that Wonderette had raped him and was ready to be sentenced to banishment and complete loss of use of his abilities when the mysterious Attorney Smurf appears, has Wonderette confess her true identity and what she did, has Wonderette change back to her true self as Hogatha while blocking her magical ability, and then teleports her out of the village, leaving Papa Smurf with no choice but to declare the court case a mistrial and Empath innocent of all charges against him. Lampshaded by Empath himself when he says that instead of him winning the case, Attorney Smurf just came out of nowhere and won the case for him. Justified, as it turns out that Attorney Smurf was actually sent by God to defend Empath on the behalf of Tapper. |
| 78 | * DidYouJustHaveSex: Duncan [=McSmurf=] is able to tell through his sense of smell whether a fellow Smurf just had [[NocturnalEmission "the Smurfette dream."]] |

| 80 | * DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: |
| 81 | ** In the series, the Smurfs theme song from [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 the 1980s cartoon show]] is consistently referred to as "the Smurf song", even by its characters. In "The Grouchiest Friendship", Empath learns the lyrics of the song during his first visit to the Smurf Village. In "Smurphony Of The Night", Empath uses the tune to disrupt the effect of the MindControlMusic that Lord Vladimir Smurfula uses on Smurfette. |
| 82 | ** In "For The Smurf Of Money" (an adaptation of "The Finance Smurf"), the Smurfs near the end of the story sing an altered version of the Smurf song when they decide to ultimately reject the money system. |
| 83 | -->"La, la, la la la la, sing the smurfy song. |
| 84 | -->La, la, la la la la, smurf it all day long. |
| 85 | -->La, la, la la la la, a life with no money. |
| 86 | -->La, la, la la la la, smurfy as can be. |
| 87 | -->Caring for every Smurf is smurf more than all the gold. |
| 88 | -->Everyone is smurfier to smurf the ways of old. |
| 89 | -->La, la, la la la la, now you know the tune, |
| 90 | -->La, la, la la la la, you'll be smurfing soon." |
| 91 | %% * DisneyDeath: Empath in "The Innocence Of A Smurf". |
| 92 | * DistantPrologue: An inversion of this trope: the beginning of "Days Of Future Smurfed" takes place in the early 21st Century, with Empath and his great-grandson Polaris Smurf (who would soon become Traveler) as the last two Smurfs alive. The rest of the story cuts between that time period and the medieval Europe time period that the entirety of the series takes place in, as Polaris!Traveler's purpose is to create a StableTimeLoop. |
| 93 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Vanity in "My Unsmurfy Valentine" gets so distracted by Smurfette after he runs into her that it takes a while for him to snap back to looking at himself in his mirror. |
| 94 | * DivineRanks: According to some stories in the series, Tapper's God, which turns out to be the Christian God, is the supreme god, and all other gods such as Ares and Hermes from classical Greek mythology are lesser gods who don't stand a chance against Him. |
| 95 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "The No Hug Zone" is full of this..."consensual hugs", [[Literature/TheBible a group of Smurfs gathered around Tapper's Tavern wanting to hug Grouchy]], and a hug assault where Grouchy fights off his assailant. |
| 96 | * DoubleMeaningTitle: |
| 97 | ** The subtitle of the series refers to the title character (1) being lucky to have been born with telepathic and telekinetic abilities, and (2) being lucky to be chosen as Smurfette's OneTrueLove. Also (3) he is lucky to be the only begotten son of Papa Smurf, as all his fellow Smurfs are actually HappilyAdopted. |
| 98 | ** The title of the story "Papa's Big Crush", meaning (1) Papa Smurf has [[{{Ephebophile}} an amorous interest in Smurfette]], and (2) Papa Smurf [[HulkingOut Hulks out]] when he inhales the "pheromone cologne" mixed with other chemicals, causing him to smash and crush things. |
| 99 | * DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: In "The Other Smurfette", Hogatha as a female Smurf named Wonderette takes Empath out on a moonlight walk where they go to a private place and just kiss, but Empath realizes that Wonderette wants to have sex with him and refuses to go along with it. Wonderette uses her magic powers to strip Empath of his clothes and have him lie naked and spread-eagled on the ground so that she cound mount him and rape him. Later, to cover her tracks, Wonderette has Empath accused of raping her instead so that Empath would be vilified. This was played for drama. |
| 100 | * DrowningMySorrows: Empath becomes an alcoholic in the alternate timeline where Smurfette marries Papa Smurf. Hefty in the main timeline story "Empath's Wedding" sits alone in Tapper's Tavern with a single glass of sarsaparilla ale on the night before the wedding, wondering why Smurfette won't marry him and realizing that he just couldn't compete against Empath. By morning, it is clear that Hefty is hung over just from that single glass. |
| 101 | * DrugsAreBad: More specifically, smurfnip is ''supposed'' to be bad for you, though the Smurfs encounter a much worse drug -- pixie dust, which nearly kills Vanity after snorting it. |
| 102 | * DyingForSymbolism: An in-universe example: In the mini-story "The Only Begotten Son", Tapper points out the similarities between Empath's "death" as an infant and Jesus' death on the cross in that both deaths have resulted in bringing forth many to become adopted children -- with Jesus' death, the humans becoming adopted children of God, and with Empath's "death", his fellow Smurfs becoming adopted children of Papa Smurf. |
| 103 | * DudeNotFunny: In "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette", when Papa Smurf and Smurfette announce that they're going to be married, most of the Smurfs laugh as if they think it is a joke. Polaris responds that he assumes that Papa Smurf and Smurfette are very honest and determined about this while the two look at the other Smurfs in distaste. However, the other Smurfs stop laughing when Empath calls out Papa Smurf and Smurfette for being in an relationship to the point of getting married... |
| 104 | * EarAche: In "Virtual Smurfality", Smurfette pulls on Brainy's ear to get him to leave his Imaginarium fantasy setting before the Imaginarium crystals are destroyed. |
| 105 | %% * EasyAmnesia: Empath develops this in the story "Empath The Bandit Smurf" to become the titular Bandit Smurf. |
| 106 | * ElectricTorture: In the series, the Psyche Master uses psychic-electric torture on his victims. In the novel, Empath is subjected to this when he dares to give the Psyche Master a piece of his mind about what the Psyche Master calls Papa Smurf. In "Hefty, The Luckiest Smurf", the Psyche Master subjects Hefty to this form of torture in order to reveal to Smurfette that [[spoiler:Empath is now the new Psyche Master]]. |
| 107 | * EmotionSuppression: Enforced upon all Psyches in Psychelia (including Empath). Even information about emotions is suppressed. |

| 109 | %% * EvilMakesYouUgly: Tapper believes this is what became of Gargamel and Hogatha, as he told Empath in "Smurfette's Inner Beauty". |
| 110 | * TheEvilsOfFreeWill: The purpose for the creation of Psychelia by the Psyche Master is to have a society completely obedient to him and free of the emotions that Smurfs and other beings have to deal with. They are also taught that they are not individuals but parts of a collective whole, which is why they are forbidden to identify themselves as anything but "this one". |
| 111 | * TheExile: Empath Smurf and Polaris Psyche are considered this after they have separately left Psychelia. However, in Empath's case, he can return only on the grounds that he would willingly become the Psyche Master's successor, which isn't what Empath wants at all. |
| 112 | * ExposedToTheElements: Explained in this series that a Smurf's body is able to adjust to various temperature changes. |
| 113 | %% * {{Expy}}: |
| 114 | %% ** Nabby is one for the comic book version of Greedy since Greedy is still the village chef. |
| 115 | %% ** The Psyche Master is basically one for [[Film/{{Tron}} the MCP]]. |
| 116 | %% ** Traveler is one for Waverider from DC Comics' ''ComicBook/{{Armageddon 2001}}''. |
| 117 | %% ** Glonk is basically [[Series/TheMuppetShow Animal's head]] with arms and legs. |
| 118 | %% ** [=HoloSmurf=] is intended to be that for the Doctor from ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. |
| 119 | * FakeKillScare: Papa Smurf thought the Psyche Master killed Empath when he brought his son to Psychelia as an infant in the novel and was locked out of the temple only to hear the child's screams. He doesn't find out until years later that the Psyche Master didn't kill Empath, but merely subjected him to a painful MindRape that erased his memory. |
| 120 | * FallingIntoHisArms: In "Papa's Big Crush", Smurfette was on a ladder and starts to descend when one of the rungs breaks, causing her to fall. Papa Smurf, who was holding the ladder at the bottom, caught her in his arms, which was a happy moment that lasted a bit too long for Smurfette's comfort that resulted in her telling Papa Smurf politely to put her down. |
| 121 | * FantasticArousal: In the series, a male Smurf's bald head is considered an erogenous zone, which is part of why they must wear the hats, though it can only be triggered by the touch of a female Smurf (or just a female in general). This was mentioned by Papa Smurf to Hefty in "I Dream Of Smurfette". |
| 122 | * FantasticDrug: This series has a bunch of fictional drugs present: |
| 123 | ** Smurfnip is treated the same as pot with the attendant MarijuanaIsLSD trope. A telltale way to know that someone is stoned on smurfnip is that the whites of their eyes turn green. |
| 124 | ** Pixie dust, as seen with a Smurf in a Mirror Universe and normal Vanity in "The High Cost Of Smurfing" inhaling it, is their analog to cocaine as well as scopolamine ("Devil's Breath"). |
| 125 | ** There's also psychelium, a drug that the Psyches are forced to use to inhibit emotional expression. |
| 126 | ** There's glowberries, which gives hallucinations when eaten along with a sour stomach and a bad case of "smurfarrhea". |
| 127 | ** There's dumdum flowers, whose pollen makes whoever sniffs it both high and stupid. |
| 128 | ** There's the buzz bean, which is their equivalent to coffee with really high caffeine levels. |
| 129 | ** There's stinkweed, which is their analog to tobacco. |
| 130 | ** And there's moonberries, which cause the Smurfs to start eating the roofs of their mushroom houses, thinking that they have hidden magical properties that can cause hallucinations. |
| 131 | * FantasticRacism: Smurfs are considered "savages" to Psyches, while Hefty refers to Empath and Polaris (both telepaths) as "star faces". |
| 132 | * FateWorseThanDeath: In "Smurfed Behind: The Other Side of the Mirror", after the Mirror Universe Smurfs are defeated and captured by Mirror Universe Gargamel, he decides to subject them to a punishment worse than death to prevent them from harming others. He therefore seals them away by using the Key of Chronos that he has in his possession to open a portal that puts them in a never-ending time loop. |
| 133 | * FedToTheBeast: In "Empath The Wartmonger", Princess Chamelianne threatens [[MurderTheHypotenuse to feed Smurfette to a pack of hungry baby crocodiles unless Empath gives himself entirely to her]]. |
| 134 | * FictionalHoliday: The series has Redemption Day, which is basically the Smurfs' version of Ash Wednesday with fasting, a religious cleansing/testing ritual, and something passing for the Eucharist thrown in. |
| 135 | * TheFinalTemptation: In "Smurfed Behind: Smurfing In Heaven", Ares secretly attempts to have Empath join him by first giving him the illusory promise of being with his fellow Smurfs again in Elysium, until Empath saw through the charade and realized that the Elysium and the Tartarus he was in were both illusions. Ares tries again by promising him godhood in exchange for drinking blood from the Chalice of Conquest, and Empath seems to fall for it...until Hermes rescues him just as he was about to drink from the cup, saying that it would have turned him into another of Ares' demons. |
| 136 | %% * FingerMuzzle: In "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", the Imaginarium version of Papa Smurf's wife does this to him when they're alone with each other. |

| 138 | * FirstGirlWins: A gender-inverted example, where Hefty is the first Smurf that Smurfette meets (back before she was a real Smurf). However, in the normal timeline, she never ends up falling in love with or marrying Hefty, which makes him upset at first, but he ultimately decides to resolve matters with his rival Empath before the marriage.

Empath)]] and his grandson Polaris Smurf, who eventually becomes Traveler. The story alternates between that time period and the present time period of the story series, where the younger Empath experiences "flash forwards" into the future at various points leading up to the starting point of the story. In those "flash forwards", he sees himself and Smurfette getting married and having a child, Papa Smurf dying, Smurfette dying, and eventually [[SugarApocalypse the village itself being destroyed]]. |
| 142 | * FlawedPrototype: Empath in the eyes of other Psyches, since they are forbidden to see him as the "savage" Species 0002 (Smurfs) that he belongs to, but rather as a "prototype Psyche". The only "flaw" that he has are emotions. |
| 143 | * ForgivenButNotForgotten: In the song "Of All The People" from the novel, the singer says in the final verse that someday he'll forgive the person who has subjected him to a past he never wanted to live, but he will never let go of what it did to him. [[spoiler:The singer in this case is Empath, and the person that he will forgive but never forget what he did to him is Papa Smurf, his biological father.]] |
| 144 | * TheFourLoves: The cherubs of this series are loosely based on this concept: Cupid, who represents pure romantic love; Charity; who represents ''agape''; Phileo, who represents brotherly love; and Xenia, who represents love for strangers. And there's also the rogue cherub Eros, who represents lust. |

| 152 | * GirlinessUpgrade: This series' version of Sassette goes from her original tomboy appearance to a girl in a T-shirt, pink pants, and a pink ribbon bow on her head instead of a Smurf hat.

They were originally created as a tool for Smurfs to [[DrugsAreBad say no to smurfnip]]. By the end of the story, Vanity wears them because he likes looking at himself while wearing them. |
| 158 | * GoingCommando: Played with. In the novel text, Empath tears apart his new suit until he is naked, suggesting that he isn't wearing any underpants. In some of the illustrations where Hefty mocks Empath appearing "in all his glory", though, Empath is clearly wearing underpants. |
| 159 | * GoingNative: Empath originally considered himself a Psyche when he was raised in Psychelia since he was brought there by Papa Smurf as an infant.

| 164 | * GratuitousForeignLanguage: Painter speaking Schtroumpf (French), and Zipper speaking Pitufo (Spanish). |
| 165 | * GRatedSex: "Sharing dreams" is implied to be this for Psyches, and this is for a race of emotionless asexual Smurf-like people who are betrothed as same-sex couples. Even Empath and Polaris engaged in it. |
| 166 | * GriefInducedSplit: In the novel, Papa Smurf sent [[spoiler:his infant son]] Empath to be raised in Psychelia for fear that the other Smurfs would treat him badly because of his psychic powers. Empath's mother, however, left Papa Smurf [[spoiler:following their son's "death", blaming him for the tragedy.]] |
| 167 | * GroinAttack: Smurfette gives one to Hefty in the novel for his saying that Empath couldn't possibly feel a thing for her, with her retort being that Empath would feel more for her in his heart than he would in his private area (insinuating that is how Hefty feels for Smurfette). |
| 168 | * GrowOldWithMe: In the story "Days Of Future Smurfed", Empath sees in his future that his marriage to Smurfette lasts for about four centuries, after which she dies of old age, reverting back to lifeless blue clay. |
| 169 | * HaggisIsHorrible: Haggis is mentioned as one of the things Duncan [=McSmurf=] likes to eat in "The Smurf Impersonators", but Duncan simply has Sassette mention this to the other Smurfs just to hear their reactions.

| 173 | * HealingSpring: In "My Unsmurfy Valentine", the Wellspring of Hope has pure clear waters that can heal even good cherubs that are poisoned by lust arrows. Eros the rogue cherub tries to poison the well with a lust arrow, but unfortunately for him his effort fails, as the waters are self-regenerating. |
| 174 | * HeroicBastard: |
| 175 | ** In the series, it's Brainy, who is Empath's half-brother. Empath's mother had him after she left Papa Smurf following Empath's "death". Brainy's actual father also wore glasses, but he never married his mother. |
| 176 | ** And in "The Prisoner Of Stone", Chlorhydris' daughter Priscilla turns out to be one, as she was fathered by the evil witch's true love Manfred the Magnificent sometime before the wedding, but unfortunately he was turned to stone by Drusilla before the two could even marry.

| 184 | * HolyBurnsEvil: Who knew that in "Smurphony Of The Night" that a Smurf symbol would be holy enough to affect a vampire? |

| 194 | * HolodeckMalfunction: In "Virtual Smurfality", the Imaginarium upon its trial run overloads when the Smurfs go off into their own fantasy worlds, trapping them inside the worlds until Empath and several other Smurfs use the mindlink ability to get them all out before the crystals shatter. |

| 208 | * InformedAttractiveness: Smurfette in the series makes a big deal out of how attractive and handsome Empath is despite the fact that, without his star-shaped birthmark or his black suit with white stars on it, he looks no different from an ordinary male Smurf. |
| 209 | * InsigniaRipoffRitual: |
| 210 | ** In the alternate timeline story "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette", Empath as the leader of LaResistance in the Smurf Village removes Papa Smurf's red hat and replaces it with a white hat while he replaces his own black star-spangled hat with Papa Smurf's red hat, symbolically showing that Papa Smurf no longer deserves to be recognized as the village leader and that Empath will now take over the position. |
| 211 | ** In the novel itself, Empath rips his own Smurf clothes to shreds (particularly his StarSpangledSpandex suit that he just got for his birthday!) in front of every Smurf to show what he thought of the Smurfs for how they were treating him. |
| 212 | * InterruptedIntimacy: Empath in "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf" interrupts Papa Smurf's private moment inside the Imaginarium with a recreated fantasy version of his wife just as they were about to kiss. Of course, Empath doesn't know that this is what Papa Smurf was doing with his time away from the other Smurfs until he saw Papa Smurf in a bathrobe emerging from a Smurf house. |
| 213 | %% * InterspeciesFriendship: Empath Smurf and Polaris Psyche. |
| 214 | * IronicBirthday: The story "Smurfed Behind: The Departure" takes place around Empath's 155th birthday, when all the Smurfs in the village end up being lost in time, similar to the events that took place in Season 9 of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' cartoon show. This leaves him coming home to an empty village save for his friend Polaris Psyche. |
| 215 | * IronicEcho: In the adaptation of ''The Smurfs And The Magic Flute'', Matthew [=McCreep=] asks Peewit what kind of tune he wants him to play before he steals the flute from Peewit. Later on, after Peewit makes Matthew [=McCreep=] collapse and gets the stolen magic flute back, Peewit asks the same kind of question to his adversary. |
| 216 | * IronyAsSheIsCast: In-universe, in "The Smurf Of Many Colors", Grouchy plays Joseph's brother Asher in a Biblical play about the Old Testament character Joseph, which means "happy" in Hebrew. This is a name-only irony, though, as Grouchy continues to act, well, grouchy. |
| 217 | * ItsNotPornItsArt: In the story "I Dream Of Smurfette", Painter does so many pictures of Smurfette after experiencing "[[NocturnalEmission the Smurfette dream]]", which leads to this conversation with Poet. |
| 218 | -->'''Painter:''' With all these pictures, I don't know if I'm truly being an artist or just smurfing in ''pornographia'', Poet. |
| 219 | -->'''Poet:''' I don't even know what ''pornographia'' is, but I'd be very careful smurfing these pictures to any Smurf if I were you, Painter. |
| 220 | * IWantGrandkids: A justified gender-inverted example, in that since there's only one adult female Smurf among them who's about the same age physically [[YoungerThanTheyLook if not chronologically]] as her fellow adult male Smurfs, Papa Smurf is hoping that one of his little Smurfs would marry her and have children so that their people would not die off. The only problem with that idea was that [[{{Ephebophile}} Papa Smurf]] [[PervertDad was also in love with Smurfette]], and in an alternate timeline even marries her. |
| 221 | * JesusTaboo: Played with throughout the series as Tapper refers to Jesus as "the Almighty's Son" and also by His name. |
| 222 | * KissingUnderTheInfluence: In "My Unsmurfy Valentine", Eros' lust arrows strike various male Smurfs who start kissing each other. Only it doesn't affect Tapper because he has some sort of spiritual protection. In "Monkey On Your Smurf", Empath and Smurfette are under the influence of probes inside their bodies that are making them make out with each other. And of course there's Papa Smurf in [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]] mode seeking to mate with Smurfette in "Papa's Big Crush." |

| 225 | * KlatchianCoffee: In "Virtual Smurfality", when Papa Smurf, Handy, and Miner are working on an all-night project together, Papa orders three glasses of cinnamon tree bark brew (the Smurf version of coffee) from Tapper's Tavern.

| 226 | %% * KnightKnaveAndSquire: Duncan [=McSmurf=] as Knight, Hefty as Knave, and Tuffy as Squire. |
| 227 | * KnittingPregnancyAnnouncement: Smurfette does this in two alternate timelines with her two different husbands (Hefty and Papa Smurf), only instead of it being used to announce a pregnancy, she does this to signal a yearning for a child from her husband in that timeline, after the husband originally assumes that Smurfette is knitting something for Baby Smurf. Both husbands respond by just picking her up from the chair and taking her off to be alone with her. |
| 228 | %% * LecherousLicking: Papa Smurf under the influence of the "pheromone cologne" and [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]] licks Smurfette's face in "Papa's Big Crush". |
| 229 | * LightsOffSomebodyDies: The story "A Haunted Christmas" plays around with this, as after Smurfette tells her story of the first Christmas she spent with the Smurfs, the lights go off at the Christmas dinner, and Smurfette inexplicably disappears without a sound. The story ends leaving Smurfette's fate ambiguous. |
| 230 | * LiteraryAllusionTitle: |
| 231 | ** "For The Smurf Of Money" is based on 1 Tim 6:10 in Literature/TheBible, "For the love of money is the root of all evil..." |

| 234 | * LovePotion: "Pheromone cologne", which Vanity in "Papa's Big Crush" intended to use on himself and ended up giving to Papa Smurf. He tries it on himself, only for the mist to mix in with his other chemicals, resulting in Papa Smurf HulkingOut. |
| 235 | * LukeIAmYourFather: Though Empath knew that he came from the Smurfs, what he didn't know until his 150th birthday is that he is Papa Smurf's only biological son, while the rest of the Smurfs were HappilyAdopted. This of course makes Brainy Smurf upset, because he always assumed that ''he'' was Papa Smurf's only biological son. (He turns out to be [[HeroicBastard Empath's illegitimate half-brother through the same mother]].) |
| 236 | * MagicalDefibrillator: In "Flowerbell's Love Triangle", Empath uses his telekinetic powers to generate an energy pulse to use as a defibrillator to jumpstart Papa Smurf's heart after he goes into cardiac arrest. |

| 239 | ** Hogatha the witch in "Smurfette's Inner Beauty" uses a magic mirror social network called [[Website/{{Facebook}} Magebook]] in order to find a date. |
| 240 | ** And there's also the magical holograms like the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' holodeck-inspired version of the Imaginarium. |
| 241 | * MakingUseOfTheTwin: In-universe example in "Vanity's Double." When Vanity practicing for the role of Robin Smurf demonstrates a fear of swords while his MirrorSelf Century doesn't, the producers of the Robin Smurf play decide to switch between Vanity and Century in scenes where actual swordplay is called for. Century also goes to rescue Smurfette when her frog accidentally runs away with her still riding it, all the while staying in character, so that the audience didn't know the difference. |
| 242 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Duncan [=McSmurf=] does not like to be called Gutsy, particularly from Hefty who just simply doesn't like Duncan. |

| 252 | * MindControlMusic: "The Smurphony Of The Night" from the story of the same name was used by Lord Vladimir Smurfula to control Smurfette's mind to draw her closer to him. Near the end of the story, Empath is able to disrupt its effect on Smurfette by whistling [[DiegeticSoundtrackUsage the Smurfs theme song]]. |
| 253 | * MindlinkMates: Empath and Polaris Psyche, in a non-romantic relationship. In fact, all Psyches are bonded in a non-romantic same-sex mindlink relationship. |
| 254 | %% * MindRape: The Psyche Master subjects Empath to this as an infant to erase all his memories. |
| 255 | * MirrorSelf: In the series, Vanity's MirrorSelf goes by the name of Century, but in "Vanity's Double" shows that he isn't afraid of swords or swordfighting, which proves helpful when is cast alongside Vanity in the role of Robin Smurf. |
| 256 | * MirrorUniverse: "Smurfed Behind: The Other Side Of The Mirror" introduces a Mirror Universe where the Smurfs in it are all red-skinned and are all evil all the time, and where their main adversary Gargamel is always good. And true to the title of the story, the way to that universe and back is through a MagicMirror called the Janus Mirror, which appears in both universes as a gateway. |

| 262 | * TheMutiny: In the alternate timeline story "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette", Empath leads a secret mutiny against Papa Smurf after he marries Smurfette, recruiting Smurfs without anyone's notice. By the time Smurfette gives birth to Papa Smurf's child, the entire adult male Smurf population of the village has turned against Papa Smurf, and Empath signifies the change of authority by [[InsigniaRipoffRitual replacing Papa Smurf's red hat for a white hat while replacing his own star-spangled hat for Papa Smurf's red hat]]. |
| 263 | * MyGirlIsNotASlut: Empath's response to Ares commenting about what Smurfette may be doing with her fellow Smurfs while she is separated from Empath via time travel in "Smurfing In Heaven". Bear in mind that all the Smurf characters in the story series (excluding the previously-married Papa Smurf) are virgins right up to the point of Empath and Smurfette's marriage. |
| 264 | * MythologyGag: |
| 265 | ** Narrator in "Empath's Wedding" recites a modified version of his Gargamel battle sequence speech from ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie during a similar one in the Imaginarium, with Grouchy reacting the same way. |
| 266 | --->'''Narrator''': There comes a time when every Smurf must stand up for what is good and cute and blue in the world. And on this very night before Empath and Smurfette's wedding, that time is now! |
| 267 | --->'''Grouchy''': Hey, seriously?\ |
| 268 | '''Narrator''': Sorry, it's kind of what I do. |

When the spirit reenters the blue clay, it reforms into the blond-haired physical form of Smurfette.

Later he receives word that his little Smurfs in the village, including his son Empath (which he disowns), were all trapped in time delivering a baby dinosaur back home, and all Papa Smurf can say to that is good riddance. Sassette daringly says that maybe Empath was right in that Papa Smurf had stolen Smurfette from his little Smurfs, including Empath, and Papa Smurf gets so upset that he slaps Sassette in the face and shouts, "DON'T EVER SMURF EMPATH'S NAME AGAIN!" This leads to his eventual downfall as all the other Smurfs who were with him finally depart from him. |
| 282 | * NewYearHasCome: "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf" is a story that takes place over four days leading to New Year's Day. |

| 285 | -->'''Brainy:''' What I don't undersmurf is where the spaceship smurfed from or what it's smurfing out here in the Smurf forest. |
| 286 | -->'''Snappy:''' Maybe there were alien beings on board that ship, Brainy, who decided to smurf overboard before you had a chance to bore them to smurf. |

| 298 | %% * OlderThanTheyLook: The Smurfs, with the exception of Smurfette, again fit this trope. Discussed by Empath and Homnibus in "The Exile Of Psychelia", where the elderly human wizard is surprised by how young Empath looks for 151 years of age. |
| 299 | * OneGenderRace: Subverted in this series, as there are (and were) naturally-born female Smurfs, but the ones in Papa Smurf's generation have all died, and most of the Smurfs in Empath's generation are male (Sassette being the sole exception). |
| 300 | * OnePersonBirthdayParty: In the story "Smurfed Behind: The Departure", the Smurfs are all busy preparing for Empath's 155th birthday party when they all get sucked into the prehistoric past when Papa Smurf opens a time portal to bring the baby dinosaur they found back home.

| 301 | * OneSidedArmWrestling: In the novel, Empath is pushed into an arm-wrestling match with Hefty, which neither Empath nor Hefty like the possibility of performing, but do so anyway. The match lasts for about a few minutes as Hefty strains with all his might while Empath just casually keeps Hefty at a standstill before pushing his arm down. |
| 302 | * OneTrueFaith: Nature worship with MotherNature as the patron deity of sorts is the religion most Smurfs worship, with Christianity and the religion of the Psyches being minority religions. |
| 303 | * OnlyChildSyndrome: Papa Smurf reveals to Empath that [[spoiler:he is Papa Smurf's only begotten son. However, Empath's mother did have another child through another father, which turned out to be Brainy, giving Empath a half-brother.]] |

| 308 | * ParentalIncest: While not biologically related, the MayDecemberRomance of Papa Smurf and Smurfette in the story "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette" is squicky enough for the other Smurfs to treat it as that to the point where some even cover their eyes when they both kiss each other at the wedding. Otherwise averted in "Papa's Big Crush" where Smurfette confesses to Papa Smurf that she could never love him as anything other than a father. |

| 311 | * PerceptionFilter: The Psyches under the control of the Psyche Master purposely regard Empath as just being a "prototype Psyche", despite the fact that he looks like something that they're supposed to despise -- a Smurf. That is, until he's finally exiled from Psychelia upon his 150th birthday, and then he's treated as an outsider. |
| 312 | * {{Perfumigation}}: In "Smurfette's Genie", Hefty comments about the perfume emanating from her house being very strong for his liking. |

| 316 | * PleaseDontLeaveMe: In the novel, young Empath cries this out when Papa Smurf finds him standing alone in the village in a crying trance, which, as it turns out, is [[spoiler:Empath reliving the moment when his father, Papa Smurf, left him in Psychelia as an infant.]] |
| 317 | %% * PolarOppositeTwins: Hefty and Handy are the BrainsAndBrawn twins, but are not identical. |
| 318 | * PostRapeTaunt: Heftargan does this to Empath in "Smurfing In Heaven", combining it with WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied, telling him that he and his fellow Schliphargons had their way with Smurfette before she died, attempting to make Empath so angry that he would kill Heftargan and "prove himself" a warrior.

| 321 | %% * ProjectedMan: The [=HoloSmurf=] seen in a few stories of the Smurfed Behind saga. |

| 328 | * RecycledWithAGimmick: "Monkey On Your Smurf" is ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'''s "Scientific Method" set in medieval period Europe. |
| 329 | * RefusalOfTheCall: In the novel, Empath refuses to permanently deal with Gargamel once and for all when he angrily tells his fellow Smurfs to StopWorshippingMe. Then Gargamel comes and nearly destroys the village and takes half the Smurfs with him to create his Philosopher's Stone, leading to the moment where he reluctantly accepts his role as their savior. |
| 330 | * RejectedApology: Played with in the novel, as after Papa Smurf saves himself, Empath, and Brainy from falling into the lava pool within the volcano, Empath apologizes to Papa Smurf for having nearly endangered Baby Smurf just to get Papa Smurf to feel sorry for leaving [[spoiler:his only begotten son]] in Psychelia. At first Papa Smurf is too angry to forgive Empath, but when he sees Empath bowing down and humbling himself before the village leader as if he was the Psyche Master, Papa Smurf also bows down with Empath and forgives him, promising that he will never leave Empath like that ever again. |

| 333 | ** Since 2011, Gargamel refers to Smurfette as his "daughter", like in the Sony Pictures' live-action movies and ''Smurfs: The Lost Village''. Smurfette rarely if ever reciprocates the affections. |
| 334 | * ReligionIsMagic: In "My Unsmurfy Valentine", Tapper the resident Smurf Christian is able to survive one of Eros' lust arrows intact because of a spiritual force field that's projected around him.

| 337 | %% * ResistanceIsFutile: Said by the Psyche Master in the alternate timeline story where Empath returns to Psychelia. |
| 338 | * RightThroughTheWall: In the story "Smurfette's Inner Beauty", Hogatha's got the doors and windows of her castle shuttered up by magic so that the Smurfs couldn't enter while she's making out with Harlequin. By the time Empath, Brainy, and Duncan [=McSmurf=] arrive, they could hear the sounds of intimate activity going on through the shutters. |
| 339 | * RousingSpeech: Empath gives one to his fellow Smurfs in the novel before they collectively take on Gargamel, with his speech being a CallBack to Papa Smurf's when all his fellow Smurfs were just Smurflings that lost their parents to ThePlague. |
| 340 | * RunawayBride: Empath assumes that this is what happened to Smurfette at his wedding day in the story "Empath's Wedding" when he enters her house and sees that his hat (which is what she's supposed to wear to signify who she's marrying) lying on the floor, until Smurfette's companion and wedding guest Blue Eyes points out that she's been magically transported by someone...and Empath correctly assumes that it's Chlorhydris, who's getting even for her ruined wedding night by ruining Empath's wedding. |
| 341 | * SadisticChoice: In "Polaris' Smurfy New Life," Empath's friend Polaris Psyche comes down with a degenerative disease that could kill him in a matter of hours or days, and Empath learns that the Psyche Master had purposely implanted this disease in the Psyches to be activated about a year from being disconnected from the collective conscience of the Psyches. Empath is faced with the option of either returning Polaris Psyche back to the Psyche Master, though in the process Polaris would no longer remember anything he had learned about Empath or the Smurfs, or letting him live out remaining time he has with the disease. Empath chooses freedom for his friend, but fortunately Papa Smurf lets Polaris live beyond the remaining time by giving him the Long Life Elixir...though this presents itself with the temporary side effect of turning Polaris' skin blue like a Smurf. |

Both Tapper and Duncan happen to be friends with each other, with Duncan serving as the superego in the FreudianTrio of himself, Hefty (ego) and Tuffy (id). |
| 347 | * SexIsGood: The Smurfs in this series don't seem to have a problem with sex, as long as its participants are married.

| 348 | * SexualExtortion: In "Smurfette's Genie", when Smurfette finds a girl genie and tries hiding her from her fellow Smurfs, both Brainy and Hefty find out by sneaking a peek through her windows. Hefty tries to blackmail Smurfette into going on a date with him to keep his silence about the genie, but Smurfette refuses and goes back to her house in tears, wishing Hefty would know what it would feel like to be a Smurfette.

| 352 | -->'''Papa Smurf:''' May I remind every single one of you, including Empath, that I am still the leader of the Smurf Village, and that what I say still goes for every Smurf to obey.

Later on, though, when Papa Smurf found out Empath was still alive, the statue was converted to one promising hope that Empath would someday leave Psychelia, which in turn gets perverted into a shrine for Empath's fellow Smurfs to worship him as their hero who would someday deliver them from the greatest evil of all — namely, Gargamel. |
| 366 | * SiblingRivalry: Hefty and Handy are dueling twin brothers. Note that it is a ''friendly'' rivalry, as they both simply want to be recognized as being more important than the other. Tapper likens their relationship to be "like Esau and Jacob", with Hefty being Esau and Handy being Jacob. |
| 367 | * SignsOfTheEndTimes: In this series' adaptation of "Lost Smurf", Tapper thinks that the rainbow-colored sky above the Smurf Forest and all around the world is a sign of the end coming. |

| 369 | * SinisterMinister: In "The Smurf Village Revival", Benedictus plays the part of an unassuming preacher who bestows upon the Smurfs the "gift of the Holy Spirit" that enables them to speak in tongues and to live holy orderly lives.

| 372 | %% * SmokingHotSex: Grouchy and his newlywed wife in "Grouchy's Wedding Blues". |
| 373 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Played straight in the series, since it's mostly based on [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 the 1980s cartoon show]], though the reason for the disproportionate number of male Smurf characters is that Papa Smurf's generation (which consisted of both male and female Smurfs) ended up having mostly male offspring, with only one female Smurf offspring, [[spoiler:which turned out to be Sassette]]. |
| 374 | %% * {{Smurfing}}: Par for the course in this series. Interestingly, Empath can't speak a word in Smurf without sounding like MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels unless he's extremely angry or scared of something. |

After an incident involving Smurfette being kidnapped by Chlorhydris and her, Hefty, and Empath swapping hearts with each other to show how much they care for each other, Hefty doesn't take the bait at the ceremony...though Grouchy does, as he starts to say "I hate..." but out of nervousness he ends up saying "I would hate that Empath and Smurfette would not be smurfed together as a married couple for all time!"

| 380 | * SymbolicBaptism: In "The Innocence Of A Smurf", Empath goes through a baptism in the Pool of Souls as a young Smurf to be initiated as a member of the Smurfs, with Tapper acting in the role of John the Baptist. The annual ritual of swimming across the Pool of Souls during Redemption Day to test one's innocence results in Empath dying in that story's particular instance for taking the life of a Psyche during a training fight, only to be resurrected as the spirits of the Pool judge him worthy of a second chance at life. |

| 387 | ** Papa Smurf also treats his past self Culliford Smurf as if he was dead, as he no longer wishes to be called "Uncle Cully", though it isn't the case of a possible split personality as with his son. In "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", though, Papa Smurf temporarily reverts to being called "Uncle Cully". |
| 388 | * ThenLetMeBeEvil: In the story adaptation "The Once And Smurfy King", King Smurf...er, Lord Smurf the First when he dons his royal warrior outfit to prepare for the rebel Smurfs that would storm the village by dawn says, "They want to call me Lord Smurf the Worst...they will see Lord Smurf the Terrible." |
| 389 | * TheseHandsHaveKilled: Empath in "The Innocence Of A Smurf" goes through having to deal with exposing the truth to his fellow Smurfs that he has killed a Psyche during a mandatory one-on-one death battle in Psychelia. |
| 390 | * ThisIsNoTimeToPanic: In "Smurfed Behind: The Departure", when Wild Smurf arrives in the Smurf Village to warn Papa Smurf about Snappy coming into the village riding a dinosaur, Papa Smurf tells Wild to stay in the village and try to keep the other Smurfs calm since "the last thing we need when it comes to smurfing this is a village-wide panic". A few panels later when Snappy arrives on Crinkles the baby dinosaur, the village automatically goes into panic mode! |
| 391 | * ThousandYardStare: Papa Smurf sees Empath having this during his first visit to the Smurf Village when he was in a "crying trance", reliving a memory from long ago. [[spoiler:It was his being left in Psychelia by Papa Smurf as an infant and suffering the memory wipe MindRape of the Psyche Master.]] |
| 392 | * ThouShaltNotKill: Empath tries to adhere as best as he could the Smurf rule of honoring all life, which also includes no killing, but in the story "The Innocence Of A Smurf", he reveals that he had killed a Psyche during a training battle where killing is mandatory for all Psyches that undergo this training. That earns him a death sentence on the day that he and his fellow Smurfs must swim across the Pool of Souls to judge his innocence, as he ends up dying during his swim. Fortunately, he only suffers a DisneyDeath as the spirits of the pool judge that he didn't kill the Psyche out of malice and thus he deserved a second chance. |
| 393 | * ToAbsentFriends: In the story "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", Papa Smurf makes a toast to the future on New Year's Eve and to his fellow Smurfs who were briefly "resurrected" for a time (though they were actually hallucinations brought upon them by a spell cast on them by Chlorhydris) until they vanished at the stroke of midnight. |
| 394 | %% * TouchTelepathy: One of Empath's abilities in this series is that he could do this with both people and objects, with the exception that he cannot use it on magic-based objects. |
| 395 | %% * TronLines: Psychelian bodysuits emit these whenever Psyches are part of the mindlink in Psychelia. |
| 396 | * TrueLovesKiss: Empath in "Smurfette's Inner Beauty" was able to break Hogatha's youth-and-beauty siphoning spell on Smurfette by giving her a heartfelt kiss, thus restoring Smurfette to her normal appearance. |
| 397 | * TwinSwitch: In "Vanity's Double", Vanity and his MirrorSelf Century switch places during the Smurfs' production of ''Myth/RobinHood'', with Vanity doing the more dramatic non-action scenes and Century doing the action scenes with swordfighting, since Vanity is afraid of swords. |
| 398 | * {{Uncoffee}}: In the series, the beverage is referred to as cinnamon tree bark brew or acorn brew. |
| 399 | * UnderTheMistletoe: Smurfette secretly puts mistletoe above Empath's door so she could kiss him on the morning of Christmas Eve in "Empath And The Red-Nosed Reindeer". |
| 400 | * TheUnfavorite: |
| 401 | ** Empath believes this of himself since he sees Papa Smurf focus most of his efforts on raising a hundred of Empath's fellow Smurfs instead of getting his [[spoiler:only biological]] son out of Psychelia. Interestingly, most of Empath's fellow Smurfs feel that of themselves whenever Empath comes home for a visit, particularly Hefty. |
| 402 | ** Grouchy in "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf" also believes this of himself when he sees that his "resurrected" Papa Smurf focuses most of his attention on Handy, Hefty, and Sassette than he does on him. |
| 403 | %% * UnPerson: Empath's status in Psychelia as well as Polaris' when they were separately exiled. The Psyche Master, however, considers Empath to be more The Prodigal Son. |
| 404 | * UnusualEuphemism: |
| 405 | ** "Getting under one's hat" is one that the Smurfs use for sex, while "the Smurfette dream" is one for NocturnalEmission. |
| 406 | ** For Wartmongers, it's "stroking one's horns" and "getting all nice and squirmy". |
| 407 | %% * UterineReplicator: The Psyches are produced through these. |
| 408 | * UnwantedFalseFaith: Empath dislikes worship and has even destroyed the statue Papa Smurf had erected as a memorial to him when the Smurfs started using it as an object of worship when he was elevated to MessianicArchetype status. |
| 409 | * UrbanLegend: In "The Legend Of The Wild Smurf", the Smurfs treat Wild Smurf's presence in the forest as this until their first official encounter with him when he rescued them from the evil wizard Severus. |
| 410 | * VacationEpisode: "Empath's Honeymoon", where Empath and Smurfette spend their vacation as a newlywed couple on a remote island together. |
| 411 | %% * ValentinesDayEpisode: Two of them in the series so far -- "Hefty, The Luckiest Smurf" and "My Unsmurfy Valentine". |
| 412 | * TheVamp: Princess Chamelianne in "Empath The Wartmonger", and Hogatha as the female Smurf Wonderette in "The Other Smurfette". The former used magic and mental manipulation to turn Empath into a Wartmonger and have him go after the Pussywillow Pixies. The latter used similar trickery to physically rape Empath and then have him vilified by accusing him as the one who raped her. |
| 413 | * VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Hefty wanted to get back at Empath for all the wrongs he supposedly suffered from him. In "The Innocence Of A Smurf", Hefty gets his vengeance in seeing Empath suffer to death...and all he can do is cry. |
| 414 | * VerbalTic: Empath constantly referring to himself as "this smurf". |
| 415 | * VerbThis: This exchange between Pushover and Brainy in the story "Pushover Pushes Back": |
| 416 | -->'''Brainy:''' Oh, hello there, Pushover. I was wondering if you could smurf this bucket of trash over to the...\ |
| 417 | '''Pushover:''' Smurf it yourself, Brainy.\ |
| 418 | '''Brainy:''' Oh, excuse me, did I hear you say that you want me to smurf the job myself? Because you should know that the mark of a good future leader is the delesmurftion of authority when it comes to...\ |
| 419 | '''Pushover:''' Delesmurf this. ''[Picks up Brainy and tosses him across the village with his garbage barrel.]'' |
| 420 | * VideoPhone: In "Smurfette's Evil Mirror", Smurfette's MagicMirror compact (from ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' episode "The Smurfette" and "Smurfette Unmade") becomes the basis for Handy developing the portable telesmurf for his fellow Smurfs, allowing them to communicate with each other via a magical video phone. |
| 421 | * WackyMarriageProposal: Empath's lead-in speech to a marriage proposal to Smurfette in the story "Empath's Wedding" ends up turning somewhat wacky as Empath receives a telepathic distress signal of the Smurflings needing to be rescued, so he quickly cuts to the chase, asks Smurfette if she will marry him, and leaves her with a kiss and some time alone to think about how to respond while he takes care of the distress signal. |
| 422 | %% * WalkingShirtlessScene: Again, most of the male Smurfs, including Empath during his early visits. Averted with Tapper, Narrator, Empath in later stories, and several other Smurfs. Notably Empath and Smurfette make a big deal about this. |
| 423 | %% * WalkingTheEarth: What "Smurfed Behind: The Departure" would have led Empath and Polaris Psyche into doing while the other Smurfs were traveling through time (as they did in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' Season 9 episodes). |
| 424 | %% * WarGod: Ares is one in this series. For some reason he wants Empath to be his "god of conquest". |
| 425 | * WaterfallShower: Empath and Smurfette take separate showers in the waterfall during their honeymoon in "Empath's Honeymoon". It is during Smurfette's shower that Empath tests the limits of how much and when he can touch Smurfette with his touch-telepathy when she is in the shower. |
| 426 | * WeaponTombstone: In the alternate timeline story "Hefty, The Luckiest Smurf", Duncan [=McSmurf=] plants a sword in the ground as a memorial for Empath, who not only was returned to Psychelia, but had his entire memory of being a Smurf stripped from him (or so it seems), meaning that Empath Smurf has truly died. |
| 427 | * TheWebAlwaysExisted: The "mirror net" is basically the medieval Europe fantasy version of the Internet using magic mirrors. In "Smurfette's Inner Beauty", Hogatha uses a social network called [[Website/{{Facebook}} Magebook]] in order to find a date. |
| 428 | * WeCanRuleTogether: |
| 429 | ** In "The Exile From Psychelia", Empath learns that the Psyche Master has been grooming him to be his successor and is hoping that he would someday forsake the Smurf way of living and embrace becoming the next Psyche Master. Empath refuses the Psyche Master's offer. |
| 430 | ** In the alternate timeline of "Hefty, The Luckiest Smurf", when Empath is forcibly returned to Psychelia, Empath ''does'' become the next Psyche Master. |
| 431 | * WeddingEpisode: "Empath's Wedding" is about Empath and Smurfette getting married. |
| 432 | * WeddingSmashers: Chlorhydris in "Empath's Wedding". Instead of appearing at the wedding, though, she transports Smurfette out of the village before the wedding starts, forcing Empath and some of his guests to join in finding and rescuing her. |
| 433 | * WhatIf: The series has two "what if" scenarios, explored by Empath's great-grandson Traveler who has the power to explore the alternate timelines of those that he comes in contact with (similar to Waverider's ability from ''ComicBook/{{Armageddon 2001}}''). In Smurfette's alternate timeline, she falls in love with and marries Papa Smurf, having a child through him and causing the entire Smurf Village to rebel against Papa Smurf and throw him and his new family out of the village. In Hefty's alternate timeline, Empath returns to Psychelia and in time becomes the next Psyche Master while Smurfette falls in love with and marries Hefty, resulting in Empath-as-Psyche Master abducting Hefty and torturing him out of spite for not being able to marry Smurfette. |
| 434 | %% * WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Really, in this series it's the parents that give the Smurfs their names, which makes you wonder. |
| 435 | %% * WhoopeeCushion: Polaris Psyche becomes the victim of one placed by Jokey's "resurrected" father in the story "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf". |
| 436 | * WordSchmord: Jokey's conversation with his Papa Smurf Pranky in "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", regarding the WhoopeeCushion prank: |
| 437 | -->'''Pranky:''' “Jokey, you’re laughing at a gag that just malfunctioned! I don’t smurf anything funny about it.” |
| 438 | -->'''Jokey:''' “That was Polaris, Papa, Empath’s friend from Psychelia. He’s someone who could really smurf a good laugh in his life.” |
| 439 | -->'''Pranky:''' “Polaris schmolaris. I smurf nothing but a gag that just smurfed off by itself. Empathy must have triggered the thing to smurf off by itself to smurf his friend from smurfing on it, wherever he is.” |
| 440 | %% * WretchedHive: The Psyche Master's view of Smurf culture, in a nutshell. |
| 441 | %% * YearZero: Empath's 150th birthday is considered the marker for this series. |
| 442 | * YouAreNotAlone: In the novel (and its companion side story "The Grouchiest Friendship"), when Empath is about to return to Psychelia after spending his first year visiting the Smurfs, Papa Smurf gives him a Smurf medallion and tells him that he as a Smurf is no longer alone in this world. |
| 443 | * YouAreNumberSix: Played with with the Psyches, as they are both given actual names as well as designation codes and are alternately referred to as either their real names or their designation codes (Empath Smurf is 1137-K, while Polaris Psyche is 1124-K). Like the Borg from ''Franchise/StarTrek'', the Psyches also identify various species such as the Smurfs by designation codes (in the Smurfs' case, they are Species 0002). |
| 444 | * YouAreWhatYouHate: The Psyche Master is a Smurf who hates his own race and creates a race of people called the Psyches who are taught to hate Smurfs. Of course, none of the Psyches know what the Psyche Master really is. |
| 445 | * YouCanSeeThatRight: In "Empath's Wedding", Smurfette's InvisibleToNormals horse friend Blue Eyes shows up as one of the wedding guests, and Brainy (who in [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 the 1980s cartoon series]] writes Smurfette's friend off as being imaginary) asks Empath if he's seeing the same horse with wings that talks as he is, and Empath confirms that he is seeing it as well. |
| 446 | * YourCostumeNeedsWork: In "The Smurf Impersonators", during the part of the story where Gargamel disguises himself as a Smurf, he tries to tell Sassette that he has been working on doing a perfect Gargamel impersonation to explain why he sounds like Gargamel. Sassette simply tells him that he doesn't sound quite as menacing as the real Gargamel. |
| 447 | * YourMindMakesItReal: In "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", the reason that Smurfette, Polaris Psyche, the three male Smurflings, and Baby Smurf can't see the parent Smurfs "resurrected", although Empath, Papa Smurf, and pretty much all the adult male Smurfs can, is that the parent Smurfs have died and are still fresh in the memories of those Smurfs who had lost them, while Polaris Psyche still has the Psyche Master, the three male Smurflings and Baby Smurf had parents that were still living, and Smurfette herself doesn't even have a parent, unless you count her still-living creator Gargamel. |
| 448 | %% * YoureJustJealous: Smurfette pulls this on Empath a few times -- once in the main timeline as a joke when Papa Smurf starts showing some amorous interest in Smurfette for the first time since "Romeo And Smurfette", and another time in an alternate timeline when Smurfette is actually in a relationship with Papa Smurf that results in a marriage, only this time she wasn't joking. |
| 449 | * YourLittleDismissiveDiminutive: Jokey-as-Gargamel's line in the novel, "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz I've got you now, my pretty, and your little blue friend too!]]" |
