YMMV / The Fool on Melancholy Hill

Go To

  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Every canon character that has appeared thus far displays some aspect of this. In the author's own words:
    "Considering the fact that [Murdoc] definitely seems to be putting up a front in public appearances and interviews, nobody really knows how he acts when cameras and microphones aren't pointed at him, so honestly, practically any characterization of Muds is fair game."
  • Awesome Music: Manta Ray Gun, which is actually just "The Saltwater Room" by Owl City, but played by Gorillaz. And you can't deny the awesomeness of that.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Murdoc reassuring an unconscious Noodle-Bot that he'll fix her up and she'll be fine - especially sweet since it appears that he believes she's the real Noodle.
    • 2D wanting to help Pretty Rita with her drug addiction because Shane Lynch helped him with his
    • Morgan bring Pretty Rita food in her flashback dream in Chapter 10
  • Nightmare Fuel: Pretty Rita's kidnapping is pretty bad if you think too much about it.
    • Noodle-Bot nearly 'dying' - Pretty Rita even lampshades it.
    "That'll spawn some killer nightmares."
  • Nightmare Retardant: The author states that she meant the Les Yay scene to be creepy, but it ended up too erotic for the Nightmare Fuel to take full effect
  • Tear Jerker: Pretty Rita's kidnapping - it even bothers Murdoc
