A webcomic by H. L. De Vera.Credenza, an ordinary waitress, taking a walk on the shores of Ruin Island finds a badly wounded man. With Credenza's help, he manages to recover from the brink of death. The only problem? The man's mind has been shattered; gone are his sanity and memories, even his name. Credenza gives him a new one, Blitz, earning his Undying Loyalty. Follow Credenza, Blitz and their friends as they become entangled in a colossal battle between good and evil, journey to new parts of the Archipelago, and learn much more about themselves than they could've bargained for.The comic began on September 30th 2005, and concluded on February 3rd, 2017.It used to be published on Smackjeeves before the site suddenly imploded. The comic (and some extras) can be found at the creator's deviantART page (although with seemingly random pages marked as "mature" and needing a log-in to see). Now also being rerun on Webtoon here.The Author had mentioned a potential spin-off/follow-up that would take place in the same universe, and then on March 2nd 2017 she announced that the upcoming project will be called "City of Somnus". The first page of it was published on Deviantart on August 2nd 2017. You can read the trope page here: City of Somnus.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Clair, during her heated argument with Spindle, slips and falls down the well. After she's fished out, he frantically asks if she's all right, and after seeing that she is, he licks her face.

Plot-Triggering Death
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_13e1c444
comment
Plot-Triggering Death: Depending on how you look at it, Chesska's death kickstarts the plot. If she hadn't died, Anthony probably wouldn't have gone off to the sea, got marooned, possessed by a Raven and lost his mind, turning into Blitz, wouldn't meet Credenza, and cause her to leave the island by sneaking aboard Paollo's submarine.

Scenery Censor: When Credenza's magic overload gives Raven a full physical body for a moment, before he turns back to his spirit form, he's of course stark naked (and calls for pants as soon as he realises that). The smoke from the explosion obscures everything indecent, though.

Heroic BSoD: After transforming for the first time and massacring the bad guys in Quillotia, Tuff is found huddled in a corner, and Mikel has to, very gently, coax him into getting up and putting one foot before the other. Stress Vomit is involved. In the infirmary Tuff just curls up on a bed, face buried in his arms. It takes him until the next morning to start talking about it.

Pictorial Speech-Bubble: When a pandorian healer is fussing over Credenza after a fight, she makes her drink some sort of a medicine. Credenza's thought bubble has an image of a pissing doggy. Spindle's imagination gives him a very concrete image of a teleportation accident that could happen if tired Clair teleports herself, him and Blitz one more time.

comment
Losing a Shoe in the Struggle: Credenza loses her shoes while drowning in book 2 and remains barefoot for the entirety of book 3. She also loses a shoe fighting scraptors and spends the rest of book 5 wearing just one. This results in twisting her ankle at an inopportune moment. Later, the shoe is seen being used by magical mice as a boat.

All There in the Manual: The cast page explains a number of details about the characters' backgrounds and abilities that don't get a lot of attention in the story. The Rant underneath certain strips also give some insight into the creation of individual characters or elements of the Archipelago world, such as information about the inner workings of magic. After the comic finished, this kind of information can be found in author's Tumblr and Deviantart.

Conditioned to Accept Horror
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_1b465242
comment
Conditioned to Accept Horror: Wereshark society is apparently very dark and violent, with an atavistic focus on blood and feeding. Weresharks raised away from it are perfectly friendly (like Tuff, Riley, and their father), though their fight-or-flight instincts can be easily triggered by a strong scent of blood or the sight of a loved one being injured.

comment
Servant Race: The Seranith are a matriarchal servant race, but they don't serve blindly and consider it important to have a good master. From their point of view, they adopt a human into their care, and if they don’t feel fulfilled they’ll simply leave and find another master. If Raven’s vision is anything to go by, the Seranith used to be completely subservient to humans and had mechanical implants to suppress their free will. After the civilization fell, the Seranith evolved into a free species who are coded with the drive to serve others at their own discretion.

Voluntary Shapeshifting: All dragons and full-blooded werebeasts have a human and animal form they can switch between. Half-bloods could, in theory, but it has a good chance of killing them. Han pulls off a simpler version with garments sewn from magical materials (unicorn hair and leather, per Word of God).

Parents as People: Anthony Solair does love his daughter, and his decision to keep as far away as possible from his clan, who would treat her (and Anthony's wife, too) like dirt (because she's not 100% pure blood dragon) is sensible, even if his exact way of doing this leads to financial problems. He's also unable to care for her because of a genuine case of depression, then Death of Personality.

Indeed, Raven's test of having matured into a proper Knight in Sour Armor is The Final Temptation he undergoes in the Maze of Dreams, where he has to choose keeping faith to Credenza's ideals over actually being with her (or an illusion of her).

Chekhov's Gun: The poot owl Credenza had sent from Paper Island to tell the Burillas she's okay found them in Quillotia as they were looking for her - this is how The Cavalry Mikel and Willium have started assembling got to the right place on time. Anthony's watch is first found in Holly's strange setup of seemingly random items in the lab. The well Clair falls into. Cassie uses it later to escape Snow. And Clair uses it to bury him, though that doesn't work.

Your Mind Makes It Real
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_234073a4
comment
Your Mind Makes It Real: If a Dream Walker sustains an injury in the dream world, it'll manifest in the waking world if left untreated, and the nearest specialists in treating those are in Majestan. In their dream battle, Credenza gets cuts on her legs from Riley's dream thorns, in Tuff's dream Snow-as-lion bites her shoulder (which, perhaps ironically, messes up the Slave Brand Snow put on her) and goes blind in her right eye protecting Raven from Snow, while Knull is rendered mute by a neck wound. Word of God is that's how Anansi lost her arms. Also per Word of God, the shape someone's magic takes is defined by the subconscious associations and beliefs of the user, which is why it's near impossible to consciously change one's magic.

Death of Personality: Anthony, for all intents and purposes, dies shortly before his body washes ashore on the Ruin Island. We learn why and how later. Blitz, the new personality, is stated by all those who knew Anthony to act and hold himself completely differently. Cassie, however, notices some of Anthony's mannerisms in Raven.

Winged Humanoid: A lot, actually. There're Avians, Raven, and those possessed by the Ravens have magic wings. Willium also has a spell to this effect. Even Simon can make shadomandyrs act as his magical wings when he's their master.

Red Right Hand: Take note of anyone who is covering their left eye, especially if they didn't used to. Then again, most raven spirits can hide the Red Left Eye, at least when they're not terrified for their lives.

Persona Non Grata: Tuff and Riley got kicked out of Hidden Island once. They both think it was because of Tuff's... weak head, but Tabitha explains that it was actually because Riley kept hitting on the girls there. They're allowed back in, though. The brothers are also afraid of getting this treatment in Quillotia, but Mikel, who happens to be their cousin as well as the king, doesn't really care that they stole his sub.

"I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight: Played with when Raven confronts a ravens(plural)-possessed Benjamin. His conversation has less to do with convincing the already convinced Benjamin, and more with goading his possessors into letting him out, so Raven can slip him a counter-spell he can use to block them.

Parental Abandonment: Apart from the characters whose parents were explicitly murdered by Snow in the backstory (Credenza and Knull): Tuff and Riley's wereshark father disappeared before the twins were born, and their mother took off to try to find him once they turned sixteen. Clair's mother died in childbirth and her father went to sea to earn money, only to dissappear without a trace. And become Blitz, so he's not coming back.

Loss of Identity: A shipwrecked man rescued from the beach by our protagonist wakes up in the Burilla inn with no idea who he is or where he comes from. Credenza names him Blitz. Soon after his ship lands on the island and we learn Blitz's name used to be Anthony Solair, but he's definitely not the same person, his demeanor and mannerisms completely different. This turns out to be a bit more complicated later on.

Empty Shell: Those whose souls have been removed from their bodies (by the use of Snow's mechanical arm) lose all agency and just sit there or mindlessly trudge behind whoever's taking care of them, while their souls are locked up in the arm. The souls, however, retain their drive (if most of them don't retain the ability to speak). Paollo's body seems to have a little more initiative than others, maybe because his soul stays nearby, maybe because he's a dream walker. In any case, it can drag unconscious seranith to safety.

Heinz Hybrid: Vaniji is an "Archipelagan Mutt," a mix of human, Avian, were-cat, and Cloven, which balances out to "looks mostly human with a few vestigial features" like tiny, useless wings and a tail. Most of the were-creature and beastmen races are technically these, as well. Weresharks were engineered using traits from gorillas and Komodo dragons as well as sharks. Fish-people like Cassie were engineered using cuttlefish and electric eels, among other things. According to the creator, "This is what comes of being raised watching Animal Planet."

Talking in Your Sleep: Credenza murmurs in her sleep when dreaming about Uru. While having his first nightmare ever, Raven talks in his sleep, alerting Credenza, who wakes him. He takes having had a dream as a definite proof he's becoming human. Tatami, his dreaming self in the Maze of Dreams, speaks to Credenza as she walks into the room, turning her attention and dragging her inside, because at this point only she can bring the Maze down.

comment
Power-Strain Blackout: During the ball in Quillotia, the plan is to deliberately overload Knull's Anti-Magic ability by using Soul Key, which the characters think is the source of Credenza's power at the time. Except it's actually an Amplifier Artifact and Credenza, incensed by her anger at Snow, overloads her own magic spectacularily, breaking walls, throwing pirates very far and temporarily giving Raven a complete, physical Winged Humanoid body. After she's stopped, Credenza faints. She then has to spend a couple of days in the infirmary. Clair, after discovering her powers and using them to teleport several people several times and lead a small army of clay golems against the foe, finally falls asleep in Blitz's arms and he's left carrying her around for a while.

Our Werebeasts Are Different
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_2f41cac1
comment
Our Werebeasts Are Different: Were-beasts are an everyday sight in this setting, and often casually referred to as such, when they're not slingning slurs in each other's direction (weresharks and wereorcas, for instance, have a long-standing feud). Known races include werecats (like Tabitha and Lydia), werehyenas and other canines (Kurr), weresharks (Tuff and Riley are half-weresharks), and wereorcas (Uru). There are also some non-were beast man species as well, who seem to have obvious animal features prominently integrated into their humanoid forms, like avian (bird-men) wings. Since this is After the End, there are strong hints that at least some of those were engineered by the precursor civilisation as living weapons.

After the End: The backstory, involving a fallen (in every sense of the word), Magitek civilization that built machines like Snow's arm, guns, the submarines, the dragon-ship that Archipelago is built upon, which the Great Raven, Dragonfly and four other Magitek A.I.s ran, and others. They also genetically engineered the various beastmen and were-animals that inhabit the Archipelago. The modern Archipelago runs on their tech (a lot of which is now treated as magic) and duct tape. Hints are dropped that this may be a far-future or alternate Earth, given that the common language is descended from English (retaining the name, but about as intelligible to modern English speakers as modern English would be to Old English) and characters have read aloud from real written works. In addition, Word of God states that religions such as Christianity and Buddhism still exist in some form.

Noodle Incident
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: According to Credenza, an evil spirit taking advantage of her good heart has only happened once, to date. According to Paolin, Raven isn't the weirdest thing she's brought home... Nim, after cutting herself and Willium out of the smoldering remains of the Shadomandyr Queen, simply states "That was definitely the third weirdest thing to ever happen to me." We're not sure what happened at Mikel's 21st birthday party, but when he brings it up in comparison with Snow's attack on Castle Quillotia, after which parts of said castle are turned into rubble, you know it has to have been crazy. Tuff says Mikel has lost a game of chess to an iguana once. Mikel claims the iguana was enchanted and it cheated. Even Snow has Noodle Incidents in his past: Apparently Kor made Charlie wear a funny hat once and took pictures. How Uru ended up captured by pirates in his youth:

Overclocking Attack: During that fateful party in Quillotia Raven and Credenza figure out they could stop Knull's stopping everyone from using their powers to fight back by overloading them. It does work, although a bit more destructively than intended. And more creatively, since this triggers Raven's eventual embodying.

His final attempt at guilt-tripping someone doesn't do him any good, however, because Lucinda's long past being reasoned with. It turns into a Shapeshifter Swan Song where he changes into Knull, whom Lucinda wouldn't hurt, Tabitha, her old mentor, then the form he seduced her in, and finally, at Lucinda's behest, shows his true form.

Submarine Pirates: Submarines being the archipelagian mode of transport, these are the standard pirates in the setting. Captain Snow and his crew, both in his original pirating days and in the present, are genuine hostes generi humanae (more so in the present, because they're literally working to Kill All Humans), witty banter notwithstanding.

Always Chaotic Evil: Raven spirits and shadowmandyrs. Subverted in both cases for those released from control of the Great Raven and the Shadowmandyr Queen, respectively. Blitz's Raven goes on to become a heroic, if cranky, person of his own, while the shadowmandyrs are pretty much animals under their Queen's control and eventually jump ship to Simon once she's dead.

Love Confession: Riley to Alice, twice. First, when frantically searching for her in the rubble in Quillotia, second when she gets her soul back and he tells her how much he loves her. Then he proposes and she says yes. Raven's is somewhat atypical, as he announces to the world he loves Credenza in order to distract the villains from Blitz sneaking up on them to rescue her. But she can hear everything, and he's being quite honest. Credenza's confession to him, however, is understated in words, but means the world to them both emotionally.

 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_5009999d
comment
Painting the Medium: Each character has a specific font in their speech balloons to represent their "voice." When Vaniji is brainwashing someone, the font in his Speech Bubbles becomes the color of his magic. When Tuff transforms in book 7, he walks in front of panel borders, and even grabs one as if to break it. Characters in murderous rage (or demons) get a heavy, shakily misaligned font. Lucinda's whispered (or possibly said in a very "small", flat tone of voice?) Last Words are printed really tiny in a huge white space. Several instances of Little "No" are also printed tiny, almost unreadable, in the middle of a white space. So are Raven's whispered words inside the Maze of Dreams. When Credenza is whispering in the Maze, her font becomes grey instead of black.

Lotus-Eater Machine: One of the lynchpin dreams in the Maze of Dreams isn't a surreal, symbolic nightmare, but a realistic, quiet vision of a mundane, happy life the dreamer thinks they could never have. This dream seems to pose the most difficulties for Credenza. Snow has the most influence on it, actively distracting the dreamer.

Tear-Apart Tug-of-War: During the climactic battle of Hidden Island Credenza and Snow grab the covers of the Listing of Names and finally tear the book in half (helped by a convenient explosion). Now both heroes and villains have the information on half of the heirs, but since Snow's half covers Paollo (whom he already has), Uru (whose entry is unreadable) and Clair, and he has other records, he still goes after the same heirs Credenza's group does.

Fantastic Racism
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_57b80b45

Fantastic Racism: Weresharks are seen as deadly dangerous predatory monsters (and culturally, that's not far off the mark). Tuff and Riley Luck, as half-bloods (they had a human mother), face all the prejudice sharkmen are subject to, and more from their shark kin. It's especially bad in Quillotia, the Luck brothers' home city, which has a large population of wereorcas, who hate weresharks with a special zeal. Dragons, or at least the Solair clan, tend to treat everyone who isn't a full-blooded dragon as beneath them.

Field Power Effect: The underworld, the belly of the Archipelago, or the insides of the ship that became it. The decidedly weird scenery is a result of a particularly strong magic there that mutates living creatures (scraptors are feral, mutated seranith) and allows spirits and Blitz's dragon soul/form to be seen by everyone.

Later weaponized against him by Han, shapeshifted into a servant girl, who finds him moping away from the party in Quillotia and provides Tuff with a sympathetic ear and a fruity punch. When he's drunk, Han shoves him to the floor and commences Evil Gloating, followed by an attempt to drown the half wereshark (For Science!). If it wasn't for Dragonfly's gift and his transforming ability kicking in, he'd actually die.

 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_63d861f8
comment
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Captain Snow seems oddly protective of his nephew, Knull. Snowflakes introduces Noemi (Snow's wife) and Yula (his daughter), but ultimately deconstructs the trope; Snow kills his mother in a flashback, and Noemi points out that his love for her and their daughter wouldn't stop him from hurting either of them eventually. The trope is further deconstructed in the story proper - it's precisely the people he "loves" who bear the brunt of his cruelty. Snow may sometimes act friendly, may do a good deed on occasion, but ultimately he's just a cruel man.

Badass Normal: Up until, roughly, the party in Quillotia where she channels enough magic to create a storm, Credenza didn't think of herself as a magic user, but still ran head first into adventure and trouble. Also, Snow had no real magical power of his own before getting resurrected by the Great Raven and given the Magitek arm, but was still one of the most feared men in the world.

Battle in the Center of the Mind
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_67a7cd88
comment
Battle in the Center of the Mind: In the finale, Credenza has to defeat Snow in the dreaming world, while her friends fight him in the physical world. The battle has two stages: Maze of Dreams, an incredibly sloppy (according to the local expert) construction, where everyone but the heirs, Blitz and Credenza herself is trapped in their nightmares except Raven, who gets The Final Temptation. The expert explains to her she only needs to wake the three key dreamers up and the whole sorry mess will fall apart, freeing everyone. It does, but Credenza's final battle against Snow is still ahead of her... Snow's own layered dream where the people murdered or hurt by him are represented by toys (she's a mangled ragdoll, Knull - a rag horse, her friends are clay soldiers) a child - Snow himself - is playing with. Simultaneously, Raven and the team are battling Snow in the waking world, and whoever gets hurt in one, gets hurt likewise in the other. After getting through this layer, Credenza duels Snow's adult form, supported by her own good memories and Knull's Anti-Magic.

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Different magic, different colors. This is unrelated to elements (magic is generally non-elemental in this setting), but most magic users get their own color.

Because You Were Nice to Me: Page 94, book 3 is the first time Raven ever is treated kindly (Credenza reassures him while checking his wound). This seems to be when his Heel–Face Turn begins in earnest.

Put on a Bus: Prince Paollo's guards, after he's kidnapped by Snow, set off to rescue him and are never heard from again until book 7, when the protagonists go to Paper Island to find Kor and they unexpectedly meet Paollo's guards, brainwashed (or locked up, in Tatami's case) by Vaniji, and unbrainwash them. The guards join the quest, mostly because it involves rescuing Paollo.

Raven's standard way of expressing care. Played for Laughs when, after some frantic searching, he finds Credenza safe, sound and being licked by Charlie. With lots and lots of drool (she uses the words "slobbered to death").

comment
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Benjamin doesn't think the Disintegrator Ray that turns Snow into a pile dust is enough. So he vacuums up the dust and dumps it into his molten fuel core. It still isn't enough. Notably, none of the characters thinks it's enough, they're just trying to buy time.

comment
Unsuspectingly Soused: The first time the Luck brothers visited Hidden Island, Tuff got ill and was given a medicine that, unbeknowst to him, contained alcohol. Since he has a really, really weak head... Later weaponized against him by Han, shapeshifted into a servant girl, who finds him moping away from the party in Quillotia and provides Tuff with a sympathetic ear and a fruity punch. When he's drunk, Han shoves him to the floor and commences Evil Gloating, followed by an attempt to drown the half wereshark (For Science!). If it wasn't for Dragonfly's gift and his transforming ability kicking in, he'd actually die.

comment
Intelligent Gerbil: Unlike most archipelagian races, the seranith are non-humanoid, but fully sentient and very intelligent. They mostly resemble fluffy, feathered raptor dinosaurs, roughly man-sized, with a mane of feathers/hair on their heads. Personality-wise, they are loyal and generally friendly, and they don't wear many clothes, being covered with feathers.

comment
Dragon with an Agenda: Snow is the supreme commander to the Great Raven army, but doesn't really care to Kill All Humans at once - it's so much more fun to kill them one by one. In the end, he says he's only been after power and doesn't care squat about the Great Raven. Right before he eats the spirit.

Wham Episode: Book 8. Starting with the reveal about the next heir identity that ends book 7 - she's Blitz's daughter. But things really heat up when Snow shows up and steals Alice's soul, causing Riley to freak out and attempt to transform, nearly dying in the process. And it gets even worse when Snow murders Holly. Oh, and by the way? Blitz is a DRAGON. The wham just keeps up until the very end of the book where it's revealed that the final heir is Charlie, or more specifically, Credenza's childhood friend Uru.

Demonic Possession: Ravens' modus operandi. The Shadomandyr Queen is possessing Simon right when we first meet him. When the Raven sees Dragonfly, he possesses Snow to personally duel his most hated enemy. Oh, and the Raven causes Snow to change into a massive raven with a shock of white feathers on his head.

Art Shift: The Maze of Dreams. Tatami's dream is rough and sketched, as he's hurrying to explain things to Credenza. Riley's and Tuff's have Orange/Blue Contrast, the former is straight lines and angles, while the latter is smooth, rounded and pastel. Raven's dream is a realistic Out-of-Genre Experience, until it falls apart and goes Picasso.

Major Injury Underreaction: Snow's reactions to getting injured are either passing out wordlessly or an annoyed sigh. Then again, the arm immediately rebuilds whatever body parts he lost. Her shoulder is bleeding thanks to kick-back from a powerful magical cannon, and this is all Lucinda has to say when someone frantically offers to patch her up.

Five-Man Band: Unusual in that the Leader is a woman and her team is all guys. Credenza is The Hero, the one who formally was given The Quest, and also a reasonable, levelheaded, but intuitive Team Mom who organises the group and keeps everyone on track, all the while being the team idealist and emotional center. Raven, who's new to humanity and stumbling on social skills stuff (he used to be a bad guy), and as The Cynic to Credenza's optimism, is The Lancer. Doubles as The Smart Guy in spirit-related and tactical matters. Riley is The Big Guy, an uncomplicated, extroverted bloke with a BFS. Tuff is The Smart Guy, prevented from being a Genius Bruiser by being Afraid of Their Own Strength (and other neuroses), a philosophical, bookish, serious young man, later also in charge of plotting the course for their search as the Reader of the Listing of Names. Finally Blitz is The Heart the Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass who believes in Credenza with all his heart, no matter how much she doubts herself.

Faux Affably Evil: Captain Snow, most of the time, is very laid-back, prone to jokes and humorous asides, and just when you forget he's a ruthless pirate, the scourge of the Archipelago, and so on, he casually kills someone, smiling all the way. He puts it to good use getting Holly to do his bidding. She genuinely believes Snow is a nice, kind, helpful man.

Symbol Swearing: Occasionally. Bad guys usually swear by symbols, while good guys get Gosh Dang It to Heck! Anansi spouts some when her fortune-telling board isn't cooperating. Lucinda calling Tuff names. Vaniji when his Mind Rape of Blitz backfires spectacularly. Han gets several proper symbol rants in book 8 (where things just keep going sideways for him). Steller's first reaction to seeing the Exigo in all its dinosaur-like glory is a stunned symbol what-the-heck.

Except, as it turns out, upon sealing he has lost the connection to smaller ravens - the were just operating on the last orders given. He, in the meantime, had lots of time to reflect on his evil deeds and regret them.

comment
Rewatch Bonus: There are a number of foreshadowing events/telling dialogue that make significantly more sense or give much more impact on the second read. Notable examples include: Blitz's first words to Credenza sound crazy and disoriented, which is perfectly understandable in the circumstances, but later it becomes clear that the person speaking was in fact, not Blitz, but Raven who, after his possession attempt went horribly wrong, is in even more shock than Blitz, and trying frantically to escape his broken host who inadvertently trapped Raven in his head. Almost every moment with Charlie before he is revealed to be Uru. A notable insight: whenever he sees her, he does his best to call Credenza by name, ever since the first time they meet. Other attempted words include: on page 37, 'shark' (notable because were-whales have an almost instinctive hatred of were-sharks) and, on page 81, 'Snow'. Blitz's reactions to Kroft, the quillotian dragon, make significantly more sense once it is revealed that Blitz himself is a dragon.

Foreshadowing: Lots and lots of small details that prove important later. Book 2, page 47, Blitz says "Even if they throw me in the ocean, I'll just swim and swim until I find you again." Credenza takes it for his typical sillyness. Fifteen pages later, guess what happens. Password to the underworld is "Olivia". Listy knows it. Now who could Olivia be... When Snow's crew is discussing plans with Vaniji: Sounds like a smartass quip? He really is hiding someone - Tatami - there. Credenza helps Kor take care of Charlie and discovers a lot of scarring on his back. Not only they had the same abusive owner - Snow - but Charlie is actually Uru. Knull thinks Lucinda's put something odd in his tea when he has a strange dream that foreshadows a certain future event, namely, his Heel–Face Turn. Then he sees Han, who has been chased off the sub by Snow, steal food from the mess then vanish and thinks this is also a hallucination. It isn't and Han will be causing some more trouble later. Page 73, book 7 - an observant reader will notice that when Charlie licks Credenza's cheek, there's a tiny blue magic flash and the scratch she got earlier in the book is suddenly gone. In the next chapter, it turns out Charlie's actually Uru - a healer with blue magic - put under a Forced Transformation. Page 100, book 7 contains the jagged shards of Anthony's memories that start making sense in book 8. While Kroft's taking them to the palace (in his dragon form) Credenza asks about dragon transformation and he goes into details. In the next panel, we have a shot of Blitz immensely enjoying flying on Kroft's back. He himself doesn't yet know that Blitz is also a dragon. This is foreshadowed a lot, though in fairly subtle ways, throughout the comic up to the eventual reveal late in book 8. In books 8 and 9, eating spirits is brought up about twice, not very seriously. This is what Snow does at the end to obtain the Great Raven's power. While telling Cassie about his family, Tuff mentions a masquerade ball that left some sort of bad emotional impression on him. Guess what his nightmare is in the Maze of Dreams?

Blind Seer: A half-case: Anansi Padma is blind in one eye, but it doesn't seem relevant at all to her seeing the future. In fact, it was her trying to stop the future from happening that caused her to become blind in one eye and lose her arms.

If Only You Knew: Clair is introduced playing pretend (she does that a lot). Namely, she's pretending to rescue a princess from "an evil cyborg king". This takes place about ten hours before Snow lands on her home island to take her, and less than twenty hours before she siccs her golems at him.

Half-Human Hybrid
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_a2cbad1
comment
Half-Human Hybrid: Beastmen and regular humans can interbreed. Hybrids can have some werebeast traits like strength, danger-sense, or a powerful sense of smell, but shapeshifting into a more animalistic form is generally right out— they can try, but it just isn't biologically viable. Tuff, himself a half-wereshark, describes the result as looking something like tuna casserole. Riley trying this in desperation is bad enough to make Snow decide a Mercy Kill is in order. Half-dragons also exist (Chesska was one).

And I Must Scream: Those possessed by a raven spirit who get captured or are no longer useful may be soulsealed. They remain alive and aware, but cannot move or act in any way at all. Raven attempted this on Anthony when he first possessed him, but Anthony cut his own left eye out to block Raven's escape route, inadvertently breaking his own mind and trapping Raven in it.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_a9de87d2
comment
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Blitz. His hidden badassery first emerges when he saves Credenza from shadomandyrs. Later, in the underworld, the high level of background magic, combined with Dragonfly's gift allows him to use a spiritual/magical version of his dragon form without transforming, which he can't at the moment and turn scraptors into mincemeat with an impressive Slasher Smile on his face. Later, he casually rips the arm off Snow, Blowing a Raspberry. And that's before we even learn he's a dragon. Kor is a flighty, fickle, weak-willed, Serial Romeo meter-tall bird-man actor. He's also an heir, and holds his own against Snow in a sword fight.

Dramatic Irony: By changing him into a jabberwock on a whim, Snow unintentionally helped Uru avoid the Great Raven's notice. Alice's friends telling her to have one peek at the party ( where there are two distinct groups looking specifically for her) and come right back: He's just asking for it... In book 8, the seranith of Anthony's household arguing about whether or not he's coming back... as Blitz and company is twelve hours away. And most of them are certain he will be back. Clair later says he's coming back for sure, since all he has is there. During a sparring, Zatachi tells Kor he has to be prepared for anything in real combat. Right on cue, Charlie jumps in between them. Raven's Maze of Dreams only works because he thinks Credenza's dead. But we know Blitz rescued her and they're trying to find their way back to the team.

The backstory, involving a fallen (in every sense of the word), Magitek civilization that built machines like Snow's arm, guns, the submarines, the dragon-ship that Archipelago is built upon, which the Great Raven, Dragonfly and four other Magitek A.I.s ran, and others. They also genetically engineered the various beastmen and were-animals that inhabit the Archipelago. The modern Archipelago runs on their tech (a lot of which is now treated as magic) and duct tape.

Trauma-Induced Amnesia: At first it seems like Blitz has it, but it's more complicated than that. When Raven came to possess Anthony, he slashed out his own eye, an act which cut off Raven's escape route and damaged the spirit, breaking Anthony's mind and turning him into Blitz. He's got almost no hope of getting his original memory back (which may be for the best).

Dénouement: Except book 2, where the action segues straight into a cliffhanger, each book has a large scale scene-sequel composition: things build up to the big action sequence and then there is the aftermatch with all the emotional fallout and the out-figuring of things. This does not preclude Wham Shots and Wham Lines.

Aerith and Bob: Being a Fantasy Kitchen Sink somewhat, the human and beastmen denizens of the Archipelago have names ranging from Anthony to Zatachi. The seranith follow their own convention, with names composed from a name of an animal for males or plant for females and a seemingly random noun (or two), like Tin-Can Turtle or Azalea Trigger (All There in the Manual reveals these are actually translations of Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom from their own language).

Mirror Character
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_ba5bbda5
comment
Mirror Character: Both Credenza and Snow are (or were) normal humans with negligible magical gifts, who lost their parents, had a dramatic, traumatic experience (death for Snow, and Snow for Credenza), were granted artifacts and powers from the Big Good and Big Bad respectively, and often fall back on who they were before their careers as hero and villain - Snow out of pride, Credenza in humility. Where Credenza is able to build people up, Snow breaks them.

Prophecy Twist
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_bb5126ec
comment
Prophecy Twist: Raven's gift from Dragonfly is a vague but unpleasant piece of advice: "you will have to choose between the one you love and the one who made you. You will choose the latter." Since he's been originally created by the Great Raven, and he's just started to suspect he loves Credenza, so he thinks he's going to have to betray her. He hates the thought more and more as he's growing into a good person. In the end, it turns out this is how he is to break out of Maze of Dreams, where he has the choice between remaining with the illusionary Credenza and having love, or staying faithful to the real Credenza's (who made him the person he is) ideals and waking up to save the world, even if he has to do this without her (they've been separated and he thinks she's dead at this point). He must choose the hard truth over pleasant illusion to wake up. As explained by a professional Fortune Teller who's had been burned in the past:

Anxiety Dreams: There's a lot of dream sequences in this story, and while most are Flashback Nightmares, two are notable for bringing to light the dreamers' deep-seated fears: Tuff's short dream when he's anxious about going to Quillotia. It has a red haze effect and he's the monster stalking and attacking Credenza The first dream Raven has in his life. In it, he summons a raven spirit to interrogate it on why his magic won't work anymore and the spirit begins belittling and tempting him, reminding Raven of Dragonfly's prophecy and picking his desires apart.

Weresharks are seen as deadly dangerous predatory monsters (and culturally, that's not far off the mark). Tuff and Riley Luck, as half-bloods (they had a human mother), face all the prejudice sharkmen are subject to, and more from their shark kin. It's especially bad in Quillotia, the Luck brothers' home city, which has a large population of wereorcas, who hate weresharks with a special zeal.

Strong Family Resemblance: Credenza looks a lot like her parents (we see them in a flashback). She also resembles the younger Dragonfly, and has the same magic. Even her soul has dragonfly wings. And her conversation with Olivia plays out almost like mother and daughter who never had a chance to meet. She also learns to create magical effects similar to Olivia's. Knull basically looks like Snow if he was half a life younger and scared out of his wits. In the "playroom" dream we see a portrait of his two sisters - one of them looks exactly like Knull, just with longer hair. Also, Yulalia is definitely her father's daughter. Clair looks a lot like her mother Chesska and her father Blitz/Anthony.

But You Were There, and You, and You: Raven's Maze of Dreams experience is a Slice of Life (modeled on the memories of an AI engineer from the precursor civilisation who created the Raven) featuring Credenza as his wife, Blitz as their dog and the Luck brothers as his role-playing buddies. Simon, humanified Tin-Can and Uru are his co-workers, and Listy is a search engine. Some other characters are mentioned by name.

Shout-Out
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Prince Paollo quotes a The Beatles song and Macbeth. Snow reads Poe's "Conqueror Worm" to his daughter Yulalia. Credenza sings "That's Amore" and "Somewhere Out There." Also, while Dragonfly is handing out gifts, Blitz says: Do you have anything in your bag for ME Mr. Wizard? In the flashback to how Tuff got Unsuspectingly Soused, he's yelling things about Gregor Samsa. Vaniji actually, Han, who really isn't a Cultured Badass misquotes Hamlet. Cassie quotes The Bible: "Where your treasure is, your heart will be also". On that note, Snow is one of those villains who like to twist biblical concepts (he just killed the person in question who was shielding someone else): In one of The Rants, continuing the Running Gag in a somewhat ironic way: If you support "sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing", vote for the Archipelago! In Raven's part of Maze of Dreams, when he "wakes", dream!Credenza jokingly asks if his dream had a wizard and yellow brick road. Later, he references Back to the Future.

Magic Pants
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_c949edd4
comment
Magic Pants: Mild and justified for beastmen (who tend to enter battles wearing only magic pants and no shirts). According to Word of God, there are actually pants designed with extra 'flies' and expanding seams, specifically for beast-men - Tuff begins to wear these somewhere around book 7. Dragons don't need them, though, as they spontaneously create magical clothes when they transform into humans. Snow thinks this is Alice's Required Secondary Powers, since her clothes change size with her (he would notice something like that).

An Arm and a Leg: Inverted with Raven, a spirit who gains a body (minus one arm) by becoming human (triggered by magic overflow).

Hoist by His Own Petard: If Snow had killed Knull instead of just rendering him unconscious, or if he had never kidnapped the boy in the first place, Knull would have never ended up in the dreamscape just as Credenza needed his help. If Snow hadn't had Han seduce Lucinda, which led to her death, or if he didn't allow her and Knull to become close, Knull would have had much less motivation and grit to lend The Hero a hand to kill his uncle. Come to think of it, if Snow didn't separate Credenza from the group right before the final battle, her task in the Maze of Dreams would be significantly harder, maybe impossible.

Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Someone was apparently crazy enough to give Snow a doctorate, though his backstory mentions that he was kicked out of med school for proposing an unethical experiment. He's still probably fully trained though.

Shapeshifter Guilt Trip
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_d4dd2bb5
comment
Shapeshifter Guilt Trip: Han's Establishing Character Moment back in book 2 is approaching Tatami in the guise of a wounded Paollo to tell him Tatami failed and stabbing him when distracted. His final attempt at guilt-tripping someone doesn't do him any good, however, because Lucinda's long past being reasoned with. It turns into a Shapeshifter Swan Song where he changes into Knull, whom Lucinda wouldn't hurt, Tabitha, her old mentor, then the form he seduced her in, and finally, at Lucinda's behest, shows his true form.

Our Dragons Are Different
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_d88e125e
comment
Our Dragons Are Different: Word of God sorts them into four major tribes, with distinctive physical traits: Summer (fire breath), Fall (poison), Winter (ice), and Spring (acid). The first dragon we're properly introduced to, Kroft, is a Winter dragon, and Anthony/Blitz is a Summer dragon. They all can shapeshift into a human form. At least some of them form clans that view everyone else (especially half-dragons) with disdain.

The Book Cipher
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_db2727e0
comment
The Book Cipher: The repair journal has two levels of security. It's written in the same magical script that the Listing of Names uses, making it only readable for Readers. The second level is that, on the surface, the book is a silva rerum (a handwritten collection of anything the author found interesting), but the tidbits of information come from other books in the library, except with words missing. These words form the actual text. It takes Tuff an entire night and help from the librarian to figure this out.

Contrived Coincidence: A few, mostly regarding the identity of the heirs. In order; Kor, one of the heirs, happened to work for Vaniji Ralo, who knew Captain Snow personally and was gifted both Paollo's guards to Mind Control them into slaves and Charlie. The second-to-last heir is Anthony/Blitz's daughter. The final heir, Uru, not only is Credenza's best friend from her days of slavery on Snow's ship, but was actually Charlie the entire time. This gives him a personal connection to Snow and Credenza, our main protagonist and antagonist, and to Kor, another heir. Anthony and Clair's home was built on top of the very ship that the Great Raven is sealed inside of.

Chekhov's Gunman: Aside from Charlie, actually Uru under a Forced Transformation spell, when Snow begins using the gauntlet containing all of the heirs' abilities, the heir whose power he gets the most use out of (and, in turn, the one who's able to counteract him) is Paollo. One who has been there from the very start... Sure, Snow, abuse the antimage all you want, it's not like he'll turn against you and... oh, Knull's just teamed up with Credenza in the dream world and lent her his powers. Figures.

Start of Darkness: Snow as a kid took animals apart to see how they worked and because he thought they did nothing useful; a lot of sociopaths in the real world also start by killing animals, so it isn't too much of a stretch. Word of God states that he killed his family just to see if he would feel anything while doing so - he didn't.

Our Souls Are Different: They can be removed from bodies, but then cover themselves with a protective layer of magic and look like a chibi representation of the person.

Snow's symbolised by a white lion in certain dreams.

The island it happens on is stated to be very rainy.

Not Quite Dead: Snow, all the freaking time, because it specifically says so in his deal with the Great Raven that he can't die - whenever it looks like he died, and there's several instances, he just casually gets up again (not always immediately, though). Until, of course, he's properly and finally killed, although Raven isn't absolutely sure there won't be surprises.

If Snow had killed Knull instead of just rendering him unconscious, or if he had never kidnapped the boy in the first place, Knull would have never ended up in the dreamscape just as Credenza needed his help. If Snow hadn't had Han seduce Lucinda, which led to her death, or if he didn't allow her and Knull to become close, Knull would have had much less motivation and grit to lend The Hero a hand to kill his uncle.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While interrogating Knull in book two, the reasonable, friendly Credenza goes nuts at the very suggestion that Snow is alive. Blitz has to hold her back. Unfortunately, Knull is telling the truth. While recuperating in Tin-Can's kitchen after all the action of book 5, which included Dragonfly dying in a duel with Great Raven, which she blames herself for, even though he told her not to, Raven notices Credenza isn't smiling and deduces something's wrong. This leads to an emotional conversation between the two. Lucinda swears while looking for Tuff in the theatre prop rooms: She's generally Not So Stoic where the Listing of Names is concerned. Lucinda's final Villainous Breakdown begins with Laughing Mad. And this is only the beginning.

comment
Kill and Replace: Han is a shapeshifter with absolutely no morals and inexplicable desire to be on Snow's boat, whether Snow lets him in or not. So he casually offs Vaniji to take his place. Snow, however, seems to work our what happened pretty quickly and not really care.

My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That: Tin Can Turtle can tell Willium's attracted to someone, so he logically thinks it's the girl in the room, Credenza. It's really Nim, with whom he's just had a scuffle.

Duct Tape for Everything: Even the heart crystal (the main power source, ridiculously expensive but essential part of an archipelagian submarine) in brothers' Luck sub gets (temporarily) put back together with duct tape, reinforcing the After the End vibe.

comment
The Starscream: Han dabbles, though he mostly limits himself to assuming too much authority in Snow's absence and thinking he could get away with killing Kurr or roughing up Knull. Once or twice, though... At one point his raven tries to get him to kill Snow, though, given that ravens know full well Snow can't die, one wonders whether the Great Raven had it out for Han...

Suicide Attack
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_f13a0451
comment
Suicide Attack: Captain Vander, while possessed by a raven, is allowed to think he's Fighting from the Inside. So he sneaks into Willium's house where they are at the moment to kill Tuff and Listing of Names with a steampunk bomb strapped to his chest, because he thinks this would slow the Great Raven down. Actually, as Credenza notes, this would have harmed the heroes more than the villains, and Vander gets soulsealed for his trouble.

Goggles Do Something Unusual
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_f1716087
comment
Goggles Do Something Unusual: Pan, a quillotian guard, is introduced testing a pair of new goggles of griffin make that exist, along with their wearer, in physical and spiritual world at the same time, allowing the wearer to see auras and spirits. Later, Raven borrows them to temporarily give himself a physical form. And because he's wearing them when Credenza overloads her magic, he gets a human body for a moment. This seems to be the seed that afterwards, gradually, develops into a proper physical body.

Anger Born of Worry
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_f4b1129f
comment
Anger Born of Worry Raven's standard way of expressing care. Played for Laughs when, after some frantic searching, he finds Credenza safe, sound and being licked by Charlie. With lots and lots of drool (she uses the words "slobbered to death"). Paolin, when reunited with Credenza after the final battle, gives her a dressing down and starts crying. Foreign-Language Tirade flavored when Paollo's Honorary Uncle catches up with the heroes after the final battle. He first hugs him tight, then begins a long, long angry lecture in their native language.

Mushroom Samba: The magical smoke in the underworld causes realistic, not funny at all hallucinations in everyone who has lungs: Credenza confronts Snow, the brothers start fighting each other and Blitz sees Anthony's memories Knull thinks Lucinda's put something odd in his tea when he has a strange dream that foreshadows a certain future event. Seeing Han (who isn't supposed to be on the ship at that point) steal food from the mess then vanish only makes him certain of it. Han was really there.

comment
Black Bug Room: The Maze of Dreams is build of Black Bug Rooms designed to keep nosy Dream Walkers away from the spider in the center. And to torment the dreamers, of course. Two of the dreams that we get glimpses of revolve around My Greatest Failure. The lynchpin dreamers Credenza has to wake to free everyone are: Riley, whose angular desert with thorny plants reflects his deep-seated abandonment issues and fear of Dying Alone, Tuff, who's facing a monster in a ballroom full of masked people - except he suffers every wound he inflicts on the monster, and Raven, whose dream is The Final Temptation, but turns nightmarish when he works that fact out thanks to glitches and refuses to stay in.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good
 Archipelago (Webcomic) / int_f8e010ce
comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Raven spirits are no psychologists and don't really understand love, loyalty or empathy. Consequently, they tempt with money, power, pleasure, revenge or relief from emotional pain, which worked great for Lucinda, but attempted on Anthony caused him to change his mind, precisely because he loved his daughter and didn't want to forget her. When someone's having second thoughts, the ravens tend to goad their paranoia.

One-Winged Angel: Lucinda, after learning Han was Corveau, goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against him. When he stabs her, it appears like she died, but suddenly the blood turns black with red swirls, her hair turns black with red streaks, her eyes both turn into black holes and she gets up, covered in magic tendrils. Knull tries to talk her down, but Lucinda "only has the strenght for this one final thing". Snow merges with the Exigo and eats the Great Raven to become a Robeast with something very badly put together inside that battles our heroes, even as Raven explains to him that body is not viable (Snow doesn't care).
