4	-> '''DM Caldwell Tanner''': "Welcome friends, to the land of Somewherica! A world not unlike our own save for one distinct difference, it's magical as hell! [[UrbanFantasy Robot butlers serve tea to wizards, sentient horses drive ride-shaped taxis, and goblin tinkerers code apps for a living.]] It is a wild and whimsical place, which makes it the perfect setting for a role-playing campaign, with... a creative twist. For you see, friends. Here in this tavern the worlds of art and adventure have collided and become one. And without further delay, let's grab our dice, activate our tablets, and enter the realm of Drawga!"
5
6	''Drawga'' is a web series airing on ''[[WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} the Drawfee Channel]]'' on Youtube. It combines RolePlayingGame mechanics with the art challenges Drawfee has become known for, and has existed in several forms over the years.
7
8	The first incarnation of ''Drawga'' was released in 2014, hosted by Caldwell Tanner and Nathan Yaffe. Essentially a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style {{Gamebook}} in video format, it tells the tale of a mysterious prisoner who is transported to an AfterTheEnd wasteland populated by AnthropomorphicFood, eventually coming face to face with the BigBad responsible for the apocalypse. Each episode ends with a {{Cliffhanger}}, [[AudienceParticipation and viewers could vote to determine how the story would continue.]]
9
10	The show returned in 2016 with a wildly different format. Taking more inspiration from TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons, it now features Caldwell Tanner as the DM [[note]] which stands for "Drawing Master", in this case [[/note]], with Julia Lepetit and Jacob Andrews serving as players alongside Nathan Yaffe. This trio portrays the three main members of the adventuring group ''[[NonIndicativeName the Ladies Book Club]]'' -- Rah'ōxah, Ryjinah and Legzi Shortstakk -- who were originally created for a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbHfokvc2sI&list=PLnA3NeUEhhq98dRuxDlMFr8aCvKXMAnPM&index=13&t=0s Drawfee Break challenge.]] The story has our heroines being hired by Francis the Goblin to solve the murder of his business partner Daryl, while the gameplay follows the mold set by ''Morning Drawfee'', with the three artists each making one drawing in every episode.
11
12	The Ladies Book Club would go on to star in [[Webcomic/LadiesBookClub an eight-part prequel comic miniseries by the same name,]] and also in the 2019 ''[[https://youtu.be/RKpYVgSBKB0 Drawga Live]]'' show at the ''New York Comic Con.''
13
14	A third season of Drawga -- simply called ''Drawga: The All-New Season'' premiered in 2019, in which the now older members of the LBC set out to join a prestigious AdventureGuild to become "Verified Knights." Episodes are now more self-contained, contain live-action "gameshow" segments, and features a SpecialGuest judge OnceAnEpisode who rates the artists work. However, the season would be CutShort after only five episodes had been released on Youtube, as [[Creator/{{Dropout}} CollegeHumor]] lost its financial support from parent company IAC. The remaining episodes (and uncensored versions of those released) would not be uploaded to ''Youtube'' until December 2020-January 2021, sometime after WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} had gone on to reinvigorate itself as an independent show. Season Three was then announced to be the last.
15
16	The show can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDgUykm7H72xFYRc_dC6DIUvR4Gw73BYP on Youtube.]] For WebVideo/{{Drawfee}}'s ''other'' art challenge-based RPG campaign, see WebVideo/{{Drawtectives}}.

19	!!''Drawga'' contains examples of:
20
21	[[foldercontrol]]
22
23	[[folder: ''Drawga: Season One'' Tropes]]
24	* BestHerToBedHer: TamerAndChaster and {{Gender Inverted\|Trope}}. The Player Character kisses Gruyere after defeating him with a PissTakeRap.
25	* CardboardPrison: The cell where the Player Character was imprisoned counts. Not only were there ''two'' portals in it, we don't even know for certain if the door was locked in the first place.
26	* EatingContest: The Player Character challenges Martin the Devourer to one as their FinalBattle, and actually manages to win. However, [[spoiler: beating Martin at his own game means ''[[YouKillItYouBoughtIt becoming the new Devourer!]]'']]
27	* FeaturelessProtagonist: The Player Character is never given a name, and is only shown on screen at the very end, [[spoiler: after his transformation into the new Devourer.]] Heck, it takes most of the season before we even learn his gender.
28	* {{Golem}}: The goat statue is revealed to be a hibernating golem, or rather a "[[{{Portmanteau}} goatlem.]]"
29	* HeroicSacrifice: The Player Character and Gruyere try to atone for the former's murder of Drop by jumping into the Goatlem's mouth and pulling a TakingYouWithMe. However, they then [[spoiler: learn that the Goatlem's stomach is [[BiggerOnTheInside actually the size of a large hall,]]]] and that [[spoiler: Drop is there, alive but ''very'' upset by the way he's been treated.]]
30	* HorseOfADifferentColor: Big Humph, who is described as a cross between an elephant, a jellyfish, an ostrich and an onion. He also has four eyes and is a TalkingAnimal. Well, [[TheUnintelligible sort of...]]
31	* HumanSacrifice: The Player Character sacrifices Drop the Beet to the goat statue, opening another portal but also bringing the statue to life. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that Drop actually survived the sacrifice, but suffered a FateWorseThanDeath.]]
32	* InUniverseFactoidFailure: When Nathan draws a goat statue made out of crystalized carrot, Jacob points out that carrots ''don't'' harden the way bread does. Nathan then claims that carrots and bread are the same thing.
33	* InferredHolocaust: It's eventually revealed that Darryl had dreams about the Onion Dimension and the Devourer threatening it. As the season ends with the coming of the Devourer to Somewherica, this basically implies that the whole galaxy Season One was set in has already been consumed.
34	* LevelAte: The PlayerCharacter is transported to the Onion Dimension after sticking his head in a tote bag full of onions. There, he meets the literal onion knight Gruyere, who challenges him to a rap battle.
35	* {{Precursors}}: The Carrots once lived side-by-side with the Onions, but now their civilization has fallen into ruins, and the Carrots themselves survive only as {{Revenant Zombie}}s.
36	* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: As it turns out, [[spoiler: Season 1 was the story of the PlayerCharacter becoming the new BigBad.]]
37	* PunnyName: The beatboxing beet is named Drop, making him "Drop the Beet."
38	* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Despite being by far the longest Drawga campaign -- made over the course of several years -- it is still one of the shortest in terms of the actual time passing InUniverse.
39	* SoulJar: Gruyere's microphone is revealed to be one, as getting bested by a WorthyOpponent in a rap battle releases the spirit inside.
40	* UndergroundCity: The Carrots are the "dwarves" of the campaign, living in cities carved into the carrot mountains.
41	* YearInsideHourOutside: Time passes differently in the Goatlem, leading to many a Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia ShoutOut. Despite our protagonists entering almost immediately after Drop the Beet, he has already had time to age into an old man, seize control of the local zombie carrots and make himself a fancy tricolon hat.
42	* YouWakeUpInARoom: The campaign starts off with the PlayerCharacter waking up in a cell, uncertainty of how they got there.
43	[[/folder]]
44
45	[[folder: General ''Ladies Book Club'' Tropes]]
46	* AudienceParticipation:
47	** While not an outright {{Gamebook}} like the first season, Season Two still allowed the audience to vote for which artist did the best drawing. The winner could then pick an item, also submitted by the viewers.
48	** Season Three replaced the audience vote with that of a guest judge, but kept the OfficialFanSubmittedContent prizes.
49	** ''Drawga Live'' let the audience help to design a new PlayerCharacter, and choose heroes for the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover.
50	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
51	** The name Somewherica was created for the ''Ladies Book Club'' comics and didn't make it into the main show until 2019, in Episode 12 of Season Two. Similarly, Darkmouth was originally situated in the town of Fantasyville, but Season Three renamed it Citadelphia. (The prequel comic also has the LBC live in Townington Township, though that could easily be a different place, albeit one that's only a short car ride away.)
52	** Initial canon was the LBC all met after becoming roommates at Community Adventuring College, but the premise of the prequel comic is Legzi spending time with her friends ''before'' college forces them apart (which obviously doesn't happen.)
53	** "The Ladies Book Club" was originally a cover-up for Tiffany to hide her and her friends dangerous hobby from her husband Ustess. Later, we see that the gang called themselves that before Tiffany even met Ustess, possibly before the rest of the group even met ''Tiffany.''
54	* FictionalCounterpart: Too many to list, both in Season Two and Three but {{Averted\|Trope}} with IKEA and Instagram, which are apparently "universal constants."
55	* GemEncrusted: A surprising number of items have gemstones attached to them. They seems to be purely decorative, and have no effect on the actual value of the item.
56	* IncrediblyShortTimespan: Seasons Two and Three are both set over the course of just a couple of days each. Ironically, the prequel comic -- despite having perhaps the fastest public release schedule of anything Drawga-related -- is the one which covers the longest time InUniverse, being set over the course of three months (discounting flashbacks.)
57	* PlanetVille: {{Inverted\|Trope}}. ''Fantasyville'' is apparently the name of the entire ''world'' the series takes place in. [[ContinuitySnarl At least, when it isn't simply the the name of the local college town, which is sometimes instead named Citadelphia.]]
58	* UrbanFantasy: Somewherica -- the setting of Season 2 and onward -- which combines tropes of a StandardFantasySetting with a bit of modern {{Satire}}. [[AnachronismStew Armored knights casually coexist with modern spy drones and even futuristic holograms.]] Basically, it's a FantasyCounterpartCulture of the present-day Western world.
59	* WorldOfWeirdness: All of Somewherica. Basically what happens when you combine worldbuilding with mad-libs improv and SurrealHumor.
60	[[/folder]]
61
62	[[folder: ''Drawga: Season Two'' Tropes]]
63	* ActuallyADoombot: As it turns out, [[spoiler: the "Darryl" Pucconici stabbed was actually the shapeshifter D.E.N.N.I.S, who was more than capable of surviving such injuries.]]
64	* AKindOfOne: Rango -- the eponymous protagonist of [[WesternAnimation/{{Rango}} the animated film]] -- appears in the Wiley Woods as a whole race of lizards. There are also several [[Advertising/McDonaldland Grimaces]] running around in the same location.
65	* ApocalypticLog: Darryl's briefcase turns out to contain one, detailing his studies of TheMultiverse.
66	* BackForTheFinale:
67	** In the penultimate episode, Rah'ōxah summons Tiffany and -- to her surprise -- [[spoiler: Boxy]] from the summer camp to aid them in the fight against the Devourer. [[spoiler: Darryl]] then calls for more back-up, bringing in Pugilax, D.E.N.N.I.S, (the rest of) Gregory Hamilton, Paul Blart and his mall cops, and all three of our main characters' dads, all driven there by Buttercup in a hoofer.
68	** The season finale even has a cameo from Old Baby Gus, when our champions visit his bar to finally get some drinks.
69	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In the Season finale, our heroines all end up on an asteroid, and question how the can breathe. The RealityWarper BigBad explains it [[AWizardDidIt as his doing.]]
70	* CanonWelding: Many previously unrelated characters from WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} are brought in to populate the world of Somewherica.
71	* {{Crossover}}: The Rotten Tomato allows the user to summon a character from any film with less than a 15% score on Website/RottenTomatoes. Ryjinah uses it to summon the title character of ''[[Film/PaulBlartMallCop Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2,]]''[[note]] Film/PaulBlartMallCop had too high of a rating to qualify. [[/note]] who Rah'ōxah’s boyfriend, Demon Johnny, consumes to make Paul Blart her familiar.
72	* DatingCatwoman:
73	** Ryjinah gives Pugilax a BigDamnKiss, reasoning that he probably hasn't had One for ''quite'' some time. He then developed a fullblown VillainousCrush on Ryjinah, asking her to call or visit him (which she isn't exactly planning to.)
74	** Ryjinah ''does'' however show quite a bit of interest in D.E.N.N.I.S. once he becomes Jah'ōxoh. The feeling is mutual and they are both disappointed when the others start up the fight again. They ''do'' eventually get their date in the next episode, however.
75	* DatingSim: Episode 8 is based around this concept, with one of the protagonists agreeing to go on their dream date with D.E.N.N.I.S.
76	** Rah'ōxah manages to turn D.E.N.N.I.S. into the ThirdWheel om his own date by temporarily giving Demon Johnny a holographic body and going on a date with ''him''.
77	** Legzi's date involves putting on a nice dress and eating brunch at a restaurant, with D.E.N.N.I.S. taking the form of a male Ryjinah.
78	** Ryjinah -- ever the dominant one -- puts herself on [[ThroneMadeOfX a throne made of Bones]] while D.E.N.N.I.S. assumes his Jah'ōxoh form, wearing [[GoGoEnslavement a skimpy slave outfit]] and serving her "skull grapes".
79	* DeadlyGame: Pugilax is ''supposed'' to run One, with him devouring the souls of the players, but nothing he challenges the LBC to is even remotely dangerous.
80	* DePower: Rah'ōxah ''tries'' to invoke this on D.E.N.N.I.S. by having Demon Johnny suck up his body through a straw. It backfires however when Johnny barfs up his body and some Subway sandwiches which D.E.N.N.I.S. absorbs, becoming even more powerful. [[note]] He also tries to absorb some anime =[=DVD=]s, but lets them be upon Rah'ōxah's request.[[/note]]
81	* DidntThinkThisThrough: At Darryl's lab, the trio all walk through the same door looking for monsters, forcing Francis to stay behind and face any dangers which may exit the other doors. However, Francis turns out to be fully capable of taking them out himself with his gun, and he gives the situation a HandWave by saying that he needed some time to himself anyway.
82	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Rah'ōxah and Demon Johnny launch the former out of a catapult, giving her the chance to punch [[spoiler: Porfo]] in the face and knock him unconscious. Sadly, it doesn't take.
83	* DreamSequence: Francis has a dream about eating dinner with Darryl, only for a black curtain to fall between them on the table, messing up all the food in the process. [[spoiler: This is ForeShadowing TheReveal that Darryl isn't actually dead, just TrappedInAnotherWorld.]]
84	* FacialCompositeFailure: Baby Gus, having mild facial blindness, gives the trio three utterly irreconcilable and ridiculous descriptions of the suspect, who are implied to be based om completely different people.
85	* FaceDoodling: Francis gets "make-up" drawn on his face with a sharpie, and is then [[BreadMilkEggsSquick covered in blood and taped by a wall]] by Rah'ōxah and Ryjinah, [[ItAmusedMe simply because they were bored.]] Unfortunately, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero this makes it easy for Pucconici to kidnap him later.]]
86	* {{Familliar}}: The second episode has Ryjinah use her sketchcraft ability to summon one, which happens to be... a giant flying piece of lettuce.
87	* FanSequel: Rah'ōxah's play -- ''Paul Blart 3: Tides of War: This Time it's Blartsonal!'' -- is one to Film/PaulBlartMallCop, as well as an Film/ArmyOfDarkness-esque GenreShift into fantasy.
88	* ForcedMeme: InUniverse, Gasm Hamilton has the ''LBC'' create memes for him in exchange of letting them out of his digital realm.
89	* ForcedSleep: Ryjinah, Tiffany, Jonathan and Bonerecar try to lull the Devourer back to sleep by singing "Go to sleep, interdimensional devourer", an ancient song written for this exact purpose.
90	* GoneHorriblyRight: Ryjinah summons the [[GoodBadBugs unintentional]] ghost truck from VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing... only to realize that -- being completely intangible -- it can't actually ''do'' anything except distract the villain.
91	* [[HappilyMarried HappilyMarried Engaged]]: The Dybird apparently has a partner, as Rekha Shankar interprets their ring as a gift from a loved one.
92	* HellIsThatNoise: The weird squeaks [[spoiler: Porfo]] makes as he arrives through the portal.
93	* {{Holodeck}}: Darryl's lab contains a smaller one, which D.E.N.N.I.S. uses to create three distinct settings for his dates with each member of the Ladies Book Club.
94	* IgnoreTheFanservice: Gus is completely unaffected by Legzi and Ryjinah's attempt at seducing him into giving them free drinks, being way to [[VagueAge old/young]] for them.
95	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Rah'ōxah is ecstatic to meet the famous ring fighter/body builder [[Creator/BurtReynolds Hurt Reynolds]] also known as Film/TheHurtLocker. She even snaps a picture of them having a faux arm wrestling contest before getting some leads out of him.
96	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Once the whole adventure is over, Legzi suggests this, and the others agree. (On a meta level, this may have been a way to avoid ContinuityLockOut for future viewers.)
97	* {{Mon}}: ''Rebecca Estus Horrible Snails'', which are actual [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent homonculi]] snails which can fight each other for real after you collect them. Basically, they ''combine'' the in- and out-of-universe nature of such creature.
98	* NapInducingSpeak: Legzi tries to {{invoke\|dTrope}} this trope by holding a boring lecture for the Devourer about the importance of sleep, hoping it will ''actually'' make him fall asleep. Sadly, while it ''does'' work om Francis, [[SpringtimeForHitler the Devourer is really intrigued by the lecture and looks on with great interest.]]
99	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Hollace Quert receives one from the mall cops after his capture.
100	* NoManShouldHaveThisPower: [[spoiler: Darryl and Francis]] come to feel this way about their portal technology. The last scene of the campaign is them blowing it up.
101	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Rah'ōxah finally kills the Pear Bears by punching the wall so hard that the ceiling caves in on them... and also buries several golden treasure chests under the rubble.
102	* OffIntoTheDistanceEnding: While not the end of the ''story'', [[spoiler: Slimeless Kyle, Beelzemon and Walreign]] all walk away together at the end of Episode 13 to mark the start of their newfound friendship.
103	* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Francis tries to access Darryl's old computer with a series of these ([[OfficialFanSubmittedContent all submitted by fans]]) without much success. The actual password turns out to be [[spoiler: "guest."]]
104	* PoorMansSubstitute: {{Parodied\|Trope}}. As they couldn't get Creator/LauraDern to do the recap for ''Mall Crawl - DRAWGA #11'', they instead got "Dora Learn", who strangely enough sounds exactly like DM Caldwell Tanner...
105	* ThePowerOfFriendship:
106	** Pugilax is ultimately "defeated" by our heroines befriending him, after which he just gives them their ticket willingly.
107	** In fact, Francis hires them in an attempt at [[InvokedTrope invoking this trope.]] [[spoiler: Darryl's machine needs three perfectly linked souls to function, and a trio of TrueCompanions fit that Bill perfectly.]]
108	** And as it turns out [[spoiler: this is also how the BigBad is dealt with.]]
109	* SeverelySpecializedStore: ''The Busty Butler'', which only sells butler suits. It's owned by a man named Creator/GerardButler, who gives Ryjinah some information about Hollace Quert, the culprit the LBC is chasing.
110	* SequelHook: Somewhat frustratingly, the season ends with an epilogue CliffHanger designed not to go anywhere, as the team wanted any follow-ups to be self-contained.
111	* ShoutOut: Legzi and the newly leg-gifted Pugilax dance to "Wrecking Mace" by [[Music/MileyCyrus Miley Siren.]] For that reference, DM Caldwell Tanner removes Nathan's poisoning and gives him more than full health.
112	* StealthSequel:
113	** For most of the season, it seems to be a completely new campaign, unconnected to Season One. Then we get the WhamEpisode that is Episode 13, where it's revealed that [[spoiler: Darryl was aware of TheMultiverse, had seen the Onion Dimension in his dreams, and was working to stop the Devourers.]]
114	** As the season ends with [[spoiler: Porfo]] floating towards a planet implied to be Earth, it could actually be a stealth prequel to the rest of the Drawfee universe.
115	* SummonMagic: Ryjinah uses the IGNdive to summon the driver -- complete with his glitchy, intangible truck -- from VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing -- the worst reviewed game she could find on ''Meta Critic'',
116	* TakeYourTime: {{Parodied\|Trope}} in ''Dawn of D.E.N.N.I.S.'' where we get to see the Ladies Book Club look through their bags for useful special items while [[BossBattle D.E.N.N.I.S.]] waits confused in the background.
117	* TotemPoleTrench: Baby Gus claims to have encountered one of these during the Baby Wars.
118	* WeNeedADistraction: In Episode 4, our heroines distract Martin Threeman, the three heads of security, by pretending to be actors and putting on a three-act show while Francis takes him out from the back.
119	* {{Wendigo}}: ''Wendigo'' is a briefly-mentioned ''Wendy's'' analogue which apparently [[ToServeMan serves people meat.]]
120	* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The final challenge our protagonists face in the Season is trying to convince the OmnicidalManiac villain that the world is worth saving.
121	* YouAllMeetInAnInn: While the Ladies Book Club all know each other from the start, the story still starts with them meeting up at the local inn. This is also where they first encounter their quest-giver, Francis the Goblin.

125	* Has its own page [[WebComic/LadiesBookClub here.]]
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder: ''Drawga Live'' Tropes]]
129	* AnachronicOrder: ''Drawga Live'' is set before Season 3 but after the Season 2 finale, was made after both, and premiered before either of them were released.
130	* BuyThemOff: Professor Crunch eventually covers up his actions by giving all of his students passing grades. Ryjinah and Rah'ōxah -- who weren't actually part of the class -- instead get to look into his Previorb.
131	* CampUnsafeIsntSafeAnymore: Tim's class seems to have been an accident waiting to happen even before the monster started eating his students. Granted, it's not stated that anyone actually ''has'' been hurt until now, and Crunch is worried that the incident might get him fired.
132	* CrystalBall: The Previorb, which shows both the future and the past... and is basically an excuse to present Drawga trailers to the con audience.
133	* GettingEatenIsHarmless: Tim's students -- including Legzi -- have nearly all been eaten by the DPJ, but since its midsection is just a garbage truck, they are fine and the campaign ends with their rescue.
134	* HybridMonster: The Dum Pup Gita is a dancing, fluffy garbage truck with the heads of a strutting pupper and a rippling Vegeta.
135	* ThreateningShark: Rah'ōxah swims out into the sea ''hoping'' to be attacked by a shark so she can punch it. She manages to successfully lure one in by shouting "I'm a seal."
136	* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Our protagonists use the Crossbower -- a device which can call upon great heroes -- to summon ComicBook/{{Gambit}}, [[WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} Quailman]], [[Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus Ms. Frizzle]], SelfDemonstrating/{{Waluigi}}, [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans Undertale]], Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Treebeard]], Franchise/ScoobyDoo, "My Dad"[[note]] Carina takes this to mean her actual dad [[/note]], [[WebComic/OnePunchMan Saitama]], [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar Aang]], [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo]], [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Spheal]] [[note]] the WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} version, of course [[/note]], and [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Mabel Pines]] to aid them in their fight against the Dum Pup Gita. The crux is that the artists only have 30 seconds to draw each character. None of them actually get to fight, they're just there as a distract while Rah'ōxah punches the creature, [[MadeOfExplodium causing it to immediately exploderade.]]
137	* WarpWhistle: Having graduated, Rah'ōxah and Ryjinah have unlocked the ability to fast travel, which is actually referred to as such.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder: ''Drawga: Season Three'' Tropes]]
141	* [[AGoodNameForARockBand A Good Name for a Ska Band]]: In Episode Nine, Jacob is given the task to illustrate the sentence "trombone epiphany is a revelation." The players all agree that Trombone Epiphany was the ska band their characters performed together in back in their somophore year.
142	* AnotherDimension: The current crises kicked off with numerous rifts to other dimensions opening up. The most notable ones are the disturbingly fleshy dimension visited by Legzi as part of a sidequest, the inverted dimension accessed through [=QuestLy=], and the Realm of Corruption, which serves as the stage for the final battle.
143	* AmbiguousSyntax: The Bodegonaur masquerades as a 99 cents chicken store, but it never clarifies just ''how'' much chicken you get for that price. [[InvokedTrope This is a deliberate trick by the mimic, which hopes to lure people in specifically to ask that question.]] It turns out that the store actually ''is'' filled with tons of real chicken, which our heroines collect and stuff into [[BagOfHolding Demon Johnny]].
144	* AndTheAdventureContinues: PlayedWith. Episode Five ends with the Ladies Book Club entering [=QuestLy=] University to take their final test before becoming verified knights. This was ''meant'' as a straightforward {{Cliffhanger}}, but then the show seemed to be CutShort... until it was UnCancelled months later, making it more of a SequelHook.
145	* AnthropomorphicFood: Ryjinah creates a golem out of lettuce to reach Jessica, who has gotten stuck in the world's largest tree.
146	* AutomaticCrossbow: Ludvig and Allon use crossbows which can be made up to fifteen times more deadly by cocking them multiple times. They don't actually make gun noises, though. The wielder has to provide those by themself.
147	* BackFromTheDead: Both [[spoiler: Ludvig and Renault]] come back to life in the finale after the timeline is rebooted. [[spoiler: The Movie Knight Boys]] are also back. Though they were apparently NotQuiteDead to begin with.
148	* BeastMan: While preparing to fight the Ice Dragon, Rah'ōxah takes a bite out of the Fursonapple, forgetting that it would transform her into an antropomorphic animal, which turns out to be a fox. As awesome as the name "Rox the Fox" sounds, it leaves her incapable of punching anyone, and -- as far as she's concerned -- [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway pretty useless as a result.]]
149	* BigCreepyCrawlies: {{Subverted\|Trope}} with the Bugway, the Somewherican Subway equivalent. It ''is'' a huge bug, but the characters don't think of it as creepy and gladly ride on it.
150	* BigFancyHouse: Ludvig Windersall's house is so large that it has indoor cars, and separate rooms dedicated to serving salad and sandwiches.
151	* BindleStick: [=CatGoddess=] gave one to her adoptive son Parker, hoping that he would take the hint and just leave.
152	* BreatherEpisode: The eighth epidode was meant to be this. It's mostly comedic in tone, features Crankenshaft -- a friendly, helpful GuestStarPartyMember -- only puts our protagonists against some easily killed monsters, and also comes inbetween two encounters with the BigBad.
153	* BrickJoke: At the start of the second episode, it's said that there's a drone festival going on (to explain why there's a "drone gnome" -- and later a "bone drone gnome" -- outside the window.) Later, the problem of the episode is revealed to have been caused by said drones.
154	* CallingYourAttacks: Apparently, yoga only works of you actually yell out the word "yoga" while doing it.
155	* CatUpATree: The second quest our heroines undertake is saving three cats who've accidentally flown up into ''Yggdrasil'' with the help of ''drones!''
156	* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Having been caught in a net, Rah'ōxah and Ryjinah are forced to design the "Tactical Pihs Pants for Women", with "Pihs Fins" and "Pihs Flight", and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking multiple pockets.]]
157	* CombiningMecha: The Megalegaryrox, piloted by our three protagonists.
158	* CoolBoat:
159	** Ludvig's jet skis, which our protagonists unfortunately never get to use. Legzi and Ryjinah ''do'' get a chance to ride a jet ski at the Beast Coast, but it quickly becomes collatoral damage in an ensuing fight.
160	** The Movie Knight Boys have a speed boat, which they use to save the Ladies Book Club from a sea monster at the Beast Coast.
161	* CoolCar:
162	** Allon Pihs ''[[StealingTheCredit supposedly]]'' invented a car powered by literal dreams.
163	** Our protagonists also have to design and build the car they drive in to Porfopolis, following Crankenshaft's instructions.
164	*** Ryjinah builds the front of the car, which has a cow catcher/snow plow, a letter box (on the ''outside'') an umbrella and -- in order to distract attacking monsters -- [[RunningGag a 99 cent chicken]]-sign.
165	*** Legzi builds the torso of the car, which is propelled not by an engine, but by four NOS tanks. [[note]] However, this only works of Creator/VinDiesel has sex on the car roof first, with just about any actress. [[/note]] (Plus an additional one for when Crankenshaft wants to get high.) It's also held together by ropes, and has a singing "Big Mouth Gollie" -- a female golem with a fish tail -- up on display to further keep monsters at a distance.
166	*** Rah'ōxah builds the rear of the car, which included a pair of ice skates, some cans on strings, and a ''lamb'' showed halfway into the back. She also adds a hula dancing Saint Peter figurine on the dashboard, as Crankenshaft is very religious.
167	* CrowdedCastShot: The season ends with one, showing all the (surviving) major characters throwing a big party together.
168	* CuteOwl: Pepples, who lives in the Yggdrasil tree and apparently has a relationship with none other than the trickster god Loki.
169	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Ryjinah uses the "god pen" to switch places with DM Caldwell Tanner during the second part of her invention drawing challenge. This implies that Allon Pihs briefly had ''the CreatorGod himself'' trapped in a simple hole in the ground.
170	** In the last episode, our heroines manage to ''kill'' the eldrich demon Allhands using -- essentially -- a mix of HeroicWillpower and ThePowerOfFriendship. Before that, Rah'ōxah was holding her own against him in a fistfight, which is quite an accomplishment given that he's basically made of fists. True, he ''was'' getting the upper hand, but just being able to ''walk away'' from such a fight is impressive enough.
171	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Oofelia points out that some monsters do have blue eyes, even if their deeds are less likely to be reported. One gets the sense that she's not ''just'' talking about fantasy creatures.
172	** DudeWheresMyReward: PlayedWith. Low-level [=QuestLy=] associated are paid [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything not in money but in experience]], but since this is a RolePlayingGame, experience actually ''is'' a valid currency.
173	* EatingMachine: The Megalegaryrox mech is powered by alcohol, and considered a party robot as a result.
174	* EvilInc: The Bodegonaur is a store which is also a literal monster. The players go on to say [[CapitalismIsBad that all business are monsters, in a way.]]
175	* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Dyllip's wizard career isn't going so well, so they have taken to removing crowns from the heads of long-dead kings in alternate hell dimensions.
176	* FictionalCounterpart: City Delphia -- the site of Darkmouth University and [=QuestLy=]'s headquarters, among other things -- is clearly named after UsefulNotes/{{Philadelphia}}.
177	* FusionDance: The gymnasium at [=QuestLy=] is full of People bouncing on balls meant for core training. They eventually undergo a "convergence", fusing together into a single, giant bouncing ball.
178	-->'''QUAIN''': Human beings are beautiful creatures.
179	-->'''Ryjinah:''' That's not normal, QUAIN! I don't know what's going on in this room!
180	* GottaCatchThemAll: Episode Six has our heroines going around [=QuestLy=] hunting ingredienses for a sleeping potion which is required to enter the inverted dimension.
181	* HandWave: Nobody really knows how the Dybird can see or eat, and the Monster Book is just filled with shrugging emojis. Both it and our protagonists speculate that the creature might eat through the butt.
182	* HiddenElfVillage: {{Downplayed\|Trope}} with the Elfendale Estates, which are not "hidden" as much as just highly exclusive. Demonic beings are also generally ''not'' welcome. Tiefling bone mage Ryjinah is a ''very'' rare exception, thanks to her [=QuestLy=] membership.
183	* HighAltitudeInterrogation: The LBC interrogate [[spoiler: Ludvig]] in this manner, using the Megalegaryrox mech to hold him outside his office window.
184	* HumanLadder: Ryjinah wants to form one with Rah'ōxah and Legzi for the final confrontation, but instead she ends up having to carry Legzi and her ''pony'' Parker [[FastballSpecial while Rah'ōxah throws them]] at the BigBad. It works.
185	* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Allon Pihs and Ludvig reveal mid-party that they are going to hunt their guests for sport with crossbows, arguing that only those who could survive ''that'' would be badass enough to become verified adventures.
186	* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: ''Monster Valley'', a location on ''The Beast Coast'' where Ludvig sends our heroines as an apology for nearly getting them killed.
187	--->'''Rah'ōxah''': [[NightmareFetishist I love vacation.]]
188	* IronicEcho: "I'm with Parker" starts out as the slogan of a political movement (possibly with FantasticRacism views) Parker the Cat has no interest in. However, after he undergoes a proper HeelFaceTurn, the Ladies Book Club are proud to state that yes, they ''are'' with Parker.
189	* JustShootHim: Legzi tries to simply shoot the demonic EvilOverlord BigBad dead, only for him to steal the gun and try to shoot her. ImperialStormtrooperMArksmanshipAcademy is very much in effect.
190	* * LittleBitBeastly: Rah'ōxah's fursonapple basically transforms her into an outright TalkingAnimal with some humanoid traits, but the spell gradually wears off, making her more anthropomorphized. By the end of the episode she's almost back to normal, the only holdovers being a pair of pointier-than-normal ears and a tail.
191	* LotusEaterMachine: Allhands gives our heroines FakeMemories and traps them in illusionary worlds, seperated from each other, in order for their souls to "mature". They all manage to escape after noticing AGlitchInTheMatrix.
192	** Rah'ōxah's "perfect world" involves her having punched every monster in the world out of existance, gone to jail for a bit after punching a person, and currently working at her father's library, which she barely manages. She escapes after seeing book titles which remind her of her friends (quite an achievement, given her reading difficulties.)
193	** Ryjinah is a famous Instagram star, [[Celebrity erfaren but she lives all by herself and her image is entirely dictated by her personal stylists]]. She escapes it by [[ImportantHaircut cutting her long, luscious hair.]]
194	** Legzi has gotten her "Eggsi Shortstakk" up and running [[BrickJoke (and yes, they do serve both cat food and sprinkles)]] but, like Ryjinah, she has no friends outside of work. She decides to go for a walk and breaks out of her illusion after seeing and entering a "real" 99 cents chicken store.
195	** [[HeroOfAnotherStory Turns out their familiars also ended up in these.]] Parker the Pony spent a very boring lifetime as a bottle opener (again), Parker the Cat started in a baseball musical none of his friends ever came to see, and Bones [=McGee=] became a ({{human\|ityEnsues}}) professional gambler who found himself put in CementShoes by TheMafia.
196	* LyricalDissonance: InUniverse, the song ''Beast Coast Living'' is a soulful ballad with a pop beat. Nathan then mentions that he loves those types of songs.
197	* NobodyPoops: {{Subverted\|Trope}} in the sixth episode, where our protagonists realize that they've gone about two days without doing their business, and end up utterly ''destroying'' a [=QuestLy=] bathroom.
198	* OurCentaursAreDifferent: The first quest is given out by Legné247, a buff centaur.
199	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The city of Porfopolis has literally been frozen by an ice dragon, which has contributed to the crash of the hero market.
200	* OurGiantsAreBigger: The "bus" in Citydelphia is actually a giant ''named'' Buzz who carries passengers around the city in his hand.
201	* OurMonstersAreDifferent:
202	** The monsters at the Beast Coast who captured Oofelia's family certainly count.
203	*** Hamagon, who took her mother, is a giant, slithering ham with [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily teeth]] and [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes]] all over.
204	*** The Bodegonaur, which took her father, is a [[ChestMonster mimic]] disguised as a TwoFaced [[note]] [[LiteralSplitPersonality one of them sassy, the other trashy]] [[/note]] convenience store.
205	*** The Dybird, which took her older twin sister, is an ostrich with a pigeon body for a head.
206	** Our heroines also run into (and over) four strange creatures on their way to Porfopolis, all of whom carry chicken bags and have the look of a disappointed mother.
207	*** Caldwell's monster is basically a cross between a T-Rex and a {{Cephalothorax}}.
208	*** Nathan draws a horned [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Yeti-esque]] beast.
209	*** Jacob -- inspired by the claim that there were cows in the area -- created the Swordcow, which Ally/Crankenshaft describes as a "meat-flavored jelly bean." It turns out to be the TokenGoodTeammate of the bunch, survives the encounter with the LBC's new car, and gives them some helpful directions.
210	*** Julia essentially depicts a big, feathery ball with a face and sharp teeth. Yes, this monster ''is'' itself a chicken bag.
211	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: As it turns out, Legzi's Anti-Demon Juice is actually lethal [[spoiler: to elves, too.]] Thus, it ends up causing the death of [[spoiler: the young Ludvig]], altering the timeline so that [[spoiler: Allon Pihs becomes C.E.O. of [=QuestLy=] instead.]] He quickly turns out to be ''[[EvilerThanThou even more]]'' vile than his predecessor.
212	* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: In the penultimate episode, the LBC decide to bring back thier old ska band... right after establishing the ''existance'' of said band in the first place.
213	* RobotBuddy: Ryjinah designs One for Allon Pihs, which doubles as a name-changer machine, which in turn works as a ramp for a name-changer drone.
214	* RubeGoldbergDevice: Legzi builds one to help John lift weights, [[FailedASpotCheck somehow without him noticing.]]
215	* RuleOfFunny: Caldwell tends to prioritise humour over strictly observing game mechanics, as evidenced by this exchange when questioning whether the usage of an ability would require Caldwell to wear a blindfold:
216	--->'''Jacob''': Is that legal, can we do that?
217	--->'''Jacob''': Here's the question: is that funny?
218	* ScaryStingingSwarm: Legzi's hand gets swollen from bee stings in the second episode, [[SelfImposedChallenge which is represented by Nathan being forced to draw wearing a boxing glove.]]
219	* SelfImposedChallenge:
220	** As helping Paul the weight-lifting orc ghost becomes harder the angrier he gets, Jacob has to draw wearing an armweight, and Julia has to draw with ''two!''
221	** The traps at the grounds of Ludvig's manor are all about this.
222	*** Ryjinah is trapped in a dark hole, forcing Jacob (and later Caldwell) to draw blindfolded.
223	*** Rah'ōxah gets stuck in a net with Ryjinah, forcing Julia to draw while reaching for the screen from behind Jacob.
224	*** Legzi is shot in her dominant hand, forcing Nathan to draw with his non-dominant one. [[LoopholeAbuse However,]] he uses the occasionally to bring out "Midas' Other Hand", an item which has the same effect while also awarding one skill point, which the other players reluctantly allow.
225	* SigilSpam: Legzi exploits Al Pihs' love of this by inventing a drone, which flies around and puts stickers of his face on just about anything and anyone, allowing him to claim retroactive copyright and ownership of them. Then she dresses it in the Tactical Pihs Pants for Women and turns it into a name changer, giving the drone itself ''two'' Al faces.
226	* SpecialGuest: Each episode features a guest judge who gets to rank the artists drawings. They are always dressed in a BlackCloak and treated as a personification of the Youtube algorithm. Some of them also portray major {{Non Player Character}}s within the story itself.
227	* SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat: As late as in the penultimate episode, it is suddenly established that our heroines had a ska band ever since their somophore year. Somewhat {{Justified\|Trope}} in that their original career ''tanked.'' It's eventually explained that they quit halfway through their first gig, as people had negative reactions to Ryjinah reanimating corpses and making them dance ''at a funeral!''
228	* TakeYourTime: Legzi decides to go home and take a shower to get rid of the ghostly ecto crust before taking on [=CatGodess99=]'s quest. After all, if her kittens can't get out of that tree, they won't be going anywhere.
229	* ThrowTheDogABone: Allon letting Ryjinah use her newly designed drone to fly out of his trap could count. Unfortunately, she gets stuck in a net with Rah'ōxah immediately afterwards.
230	* TimePassesMontage: The third episode has this premise, with each LBC member just doing stuff to pass the time.
231	** Legzi goes through a rift into a demonic GeniusLoki dimension to find a RingOfPower, which was used as a wedding ring in a barbarian marriage.
232	** Rah'ōxah helps Dyllip's grandmother Dyllis carry her groceries.
233	** Ryjinah gets called in to liven up a dead party ([[{{Pun}} which turns out to be filled with ghosts.]]) She accomplishes this by hitting herself with the Flail of Inhibriation and going wild on the dance floor.
234	* TimeyWimeyBall: Legzi summons a young [[spoiler: Ludvig]] and injects his blood with "Anti-Demon Juice" -- activated by the addition of water -- in an attempt at destroying the demon Allhands. [[note]] Said demon has taken much of [[spoiler: Ludvig's]] blood, and just gotten drenched by a geyser. [[/note]] However, the juice ends up ''killing'' [[spoiler: Ludvig]] instead, changing history for the worse.
235	* UnbreakableBones: Ryjinah turns her bones into metal for the final battle.
236	* UnexplainedRecovery: Legzi is ''shot through the hand'' by a crossbows bolt, but one sticker-repurposed-as-band-aid later and she's fine.
237	* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: In the haunted gym, the Ladies Book Club are confronted by visions of their greatest fears.
238	** Legzi sees an amalgamation of all her failures as a rogue.
239	** Ryjinah sees an old WhiteDwarfStarlet version of herself.
240	** Rah'ōxah sees [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking her dad holding a sign]] saying "You're doing great... [[spoiler: {{NOT}}]]" (When it returns two episodes later, she instead sees Ryjinah, Legzi and Parker holding signs saying "We're doing great... [[spoiler: alone.]]"
