 Acception (Webcomic)
comment
An LGBTQ+ school Dramedy comic by artist Coco Ouwerkerk, AKA Colourbee.Arcus McCarthy loves fashion and designing. And he doesn't care who knows it. Proud to parade around in garish colors, glitter and sporting a rainbow hairdo.Well, his unabashed standing out is about to be tested. As Arcus and family have recently uprooted from England to The Netherlands. Now as the newest student at Apollo High School, Arcus has to deal with the usual high school foibles: Math, prissy bullies, and being teased for who he is....Did we mention he's also secretly a famous fashion blogger named Gold Star?Featured on Webtoon. Updates every Monday.

Look Behind You: Xavier tells Arcus to go look at a flying dead bird to distract him during a dodgeball class. It works, distracting Arcus long enough for Xavier to hit him with a basketball to the groin.

Hates My Secret Identity: It's a running gag early on that Iris and her posse love Gold Star and but mock and belittle Arcus whenever he offers fashion advice.

comment
All of the Other Reindeer: Arcus's first interaction with his classmates is them tricking him into walking into a janitor's closet and getting him soaked with a wet mop, and it takes a long while for things to improve. He's initially shunned for his eccentric faction choices, and then for being so peppy and talkative that it irritates people.

Politically Incorrect Villain: While the comic has its fair share of bullies, Gabrielle is the only one who gets her bullying kicks being this. Frequently throwing out gay as an insulting term, and constantly harassing Lola over her sexuality and gender.

He finds it mostly just awkward and annoying, and wishes they would leave him alone. Especially since he turns out to actually be gay.

Dramatic Irony: The comic cuts between Xavier mocking Arcus to his classmates and defending himself by saying that Arcus is always cheerful and clearly doesn't have any troubles and Arcus visiting his mom in the hospital as she begins her treatments for what’s heavily implied to be cancer.

Ambiguously Bi: Iris. Between an obsession with boobs, a seeming crush on Gabrielle and a running gag of finding girls hot. Less ambiguous after page 199, when a couple of helpful musicians explain what she's going through. Turns out she didn't even know bisexual was a thing, assuming one could just be bi-curious before picking a side.

Held Back in School: Maud is furious when she finds out her brother was held back a year after he promised her he'd study hard with her and do well enough on his exams that he'd pass them. Unbeknownst to her, he'd gotten a job to help support the family that made him so exhausted that he passed out during his exams, missing some and failing the rest.
