Beochan: Paisean Agus Aiféala, formerly known as Pretty Pastel Goth Beochan is a blog on Tumblr that features artwork, a 4Koma entitled Petite Delight Theatre and a possible animated webshow centering on a crossover Alternate Universe where enchanted creatures known as "Beochan" take the forms of numerous animated character and reside together within the Land of In-Between.
But trust us, folks, this isn't your kid siblings' Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network, it's far, far worse... however there are just a few stories that aren't dark and gloomy at all.
Beochan: Paisean Agus Aiféala contains examples of:
- Ambiguously Evil: This AU's depiction of Jelly is a doll that might be possessing Buhdeuce.
- Animesque: The art style is supposed to be this, hence the (sometimes) Yonkoma format of the Petite Delight Theatre strips.
- Art-Style Dissonance: Part of the gimmick to the series is that it's supposed to look cute to hide the dark punchline behind the seemingly-innocent joke until the end.
- Breakout Character: Lalasa turned out to be pretty popular with readers, which lead her to get a 4-part story focusing on her origins.
- Deconstructive Parody: Of animation as a whole, the best examples so far being PDT #2, #5 and #6.
- Delinquents: The Cartoon Network characters are portrayed as a literal network of pranksters who wreak havoc among the Nicktoon community.
- The Fashionista: Patricia and especially Barbara love wearing fancy dresses, makeup and jewels.
- God Save Us from the Queen!: Angelica grows up to be a hot-tempered, impatient queen who hateful to anyone who's not a Nicktoon to the point where her irrational hatred leads her to decapitate her younger cousin and murder Lalasa's parents

- Team Dad: Tommy serves as this to Barbara and Patricia's circle of friends.
- Ridiculously Human Robot: Despite her normal-looking appearance, Lalasa

- Shout-Out:
- The Tagline (both the old and new ones) are obviously a play on the tagline for Toonami, which is "Building You A Better Cartoon Show".

- In #6, Linus and Sally are dressed as Mickey Mouse and Sally the Witch.
- Sometimes the characters make expressions uncanny to Miku Hachune (who would eventually join the supporting cast).
- The final part of PDT #9 concluded with wilting yellow flowers (narcissists, fittingly enough) losing their petals on top of Banana's grave
- Subverted Kids' Show: Usually focuses on Nicktoons and Cartoon Network originals, despite usually putting a sick and violent spin on them (or at least subversive/satirical).
- Super-Deformed:
- On occasion, the characters will be drawn like this, sometimes even in pixel format; Except in pixel form their heads are the only thing that's drawn.
- Miku Hachune (a chibi version of Miku Hatsune) is part of the main cast as a friend of Patricia and Barbara's.
