14 | !!This webcomic provides examples of: |
15 | %%* TheAlcoholic: The Holm parents |
16 | %%* AllLoveIsUnrequited |
17 | %%* ArtEvolution |
18 | * TheBabyTrap: Tina does this in an attempt to hold onto Anders, hiding the fact that [[spoiler:she's miscarried]]. |
19 | %%* BigOlEyebrows: Johan. |
20 | %%* BittersweetEnding |
21 | %%* ButtMonkey: Anders, Maria, really anyone who gets involved in this hurricane. |
22 | * TheCasanova: Anders, to the misfortune of Maria and most suitors. |
23 | * ConvenientMiscarriage [[spoiler:Tina with Anders]]. |
24 | * DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler:The younger Maria]] is named for her mother, who dies after giving birth to her. |
25 | * DeathByChildbirth: [[spoiler:Maria]] does not survive giving birth to her daughter. |
26 | * DistantFinale: The sequence with [[spoiler:Maria's daughter]] finding a baby bird out in the woods. Also happens to be a CallBack an early part of the story when a similar event from Anders' childhood was described. |
27 | %%* DoggedNiceGuy: Bjorn to Maria. |
28 | %%* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Tina.]] |
29 | * FanDisservice: |
30 | ** [[spoiler:Anders sleeping with Little Shit.]] It seems implied that they don't actually have sex; Anders just needs to cuddle. Still. |
31 | ** Anders' aged mother sitting around without a shirt is certainly not put in for titillation. |
32 | %%* FinaglesLaw |
33 | * FunetikAksent: In flashbacks, Maria's thick northern Swedish accent is represented in English by a phonetic representation of a Yorkshire accent. |
34 | * GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Averted: [[spoiler:Tina]] goes through with the procedure as a teenager. According to Rene, Maria also had one with Bjorn. |
35 | * HandOnWomb: See page image. |
36 | %%* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Maria, pre-pregnancy. |
37 | * IdenticalGrandson: Aside from Anders's hair color, [[spoiler:Maria]] looks and has a similar mannerism to her mother [[spoiler:Maria]]. Enough that her first appearance was essentially HiddenInPlainSight for the audience, in a sequence that seemed to be a flashback to her ''mother's'' childhood but was really a flash-''forward'' to the DistantFinale. |
38 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Johan and Bjorn are classic examples. Anders (usually) means well, but poor impulse control paired with worse personal judgement gets you here. |
39 | * KnightTemplarBigBrother: Johan to Maria, having had to look after her since childhood. |
40 | %%* LadykillerInLove: Anders to Maria. |
41 | * LongestPregnancyEver: Maria is pregnant for nearly all of the comic's run. |
42 | %%* LoveDodecahedron: Anders. Jeph Jacques of ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' suggested the title "Anders Has Sex With Everyone". |
43 | * NoodlePeople: A single character example: Anna is unrealistically thin compared to the other characters. |
44 | %%* SeriesHiatus: Every now and then. |
45 | %%* SliceOfLife |
46 | * SocialServicesDoesNotExist: Averted; Johan and Maria were placed in a foster home as children due to neglect. |
47 | * TwistEnding: Anders ''does'' love Maria, [[spoiler:his daughter. He does truly love Maria, his girlfriend, it's just... complicated]]. |
48 | * WhamEpisode: The ending, in which [[spoiler:Maria dies in childbirth, and the Maria in the FlashForward scenes from earlier in the story is her and Anders' daughter]], caught a lot of people off guard. |
49 | * WhamLine: The obstetrician visits Anders after the birth of his daughter and tells him, [[spoiler:"Maria never woke up."]] |
