Blood Stain (Webcomic) | comment |
Blood Stain, by Linda Luksic Sejic (under the DeviantArt username Sigeel) is a Slice of Life webcomic centered around Elliot Torres, a chemistry major who has been searching for a stable job for two years. After being let go from a multitude of jobs for various reasons, she resorts to applying for a job rumored to be offered by a Mad Scientist. It turns out, despite first impressions, there's nothing to fear from the so-rumored employer, Dr. Vlad Stein. Instead, both Elliot and Dr. Stein learn from each other's situations while going through a plethora of humorous events along the way.Linda Luksic Sejic is also known for her work in Grimm Fairy Tales and is married to Stjepan Sejic, another professional comic artist with a webcomic.Starting in 2016, it was picked up by Image Comics for printing and distribution, which had also published several of Stjepan's previous works, including his own webcomic Sunstone, which shares a universe with Blood Stain. It still remains free to read and view on Linda's DeviantArt. It can also be read on Webtoons here. | |

Visual Pun: When Elliot's imagination causes Dr. Stein to take the form of a nightmarish dragon, Elliot is holding a mace. In reality, Elliot carries pepper spray—a.k.a., mace. In one of Sigeel's supplementary Moonstone Gate comics, Elliot's character casts a heal spell on Dr. Stein's character. We see a high-heeled shoe thrown at Dr. Stein's character that restores him to full health. | |

You Didn't Ask: Elliot initially looks for an autoclave on her own in Dr. Stein's basement, figuring that doing so will show that she is a responsible person (in contrast to her bumbling behavior in previous jobs). However, after spending a few pages searching with no avail, she hesitantly asks Dr. Stein where the autoclave is; she is surprised to find that Dr. Stein just nonchalantly throws out its location instead of criticizing her absentmindedness. | |

Masculine Lines, Feminine Curves: The art style uses a mix of angles and curves for characters, but some of the character's traits still demonstrate a downplayed version of this trope. For instance, Elliot is drawn with rounded cheeks and curly hair, while Dr. Stein has sharp cheekbones and angular 'bramble' as hair. | |

Seriously Scruffy | |
Blood Stain (Webcomic) / int_477be1ba | comment |
Seriously Scruffy: This is one of Dr. Stein's most defining tropes. Dr. Stein's messy appearance is caused by him working almost non-stop—not from a bolt of electricity or the like, as Elliot uncovers throughout the chapters. Thanks to a combination of omitting shampoo in her suitcase and a desire to prove her capabilities to her boss, Elliot's hair also becomes more disheveled the longer she stays in her job. | |

Break the Cutie: At the start, coddled Elliot finds out that real life is harsh when her lack of focus gets her rejected from every job she applies to. Her self-confidence grows with the start of every opportunity, but it is crushed when she inevitably gets fired. She looks to be on the verge of tears on page 70 after Dr. Stein lets his pent-up frustration out on her. | |

Painting the Medium: The color of text bubbles reflect the characters; Dr. Stein's text bubbles are always black with white text and outlines, and text bubbles in various panels take on an abundance of shapes to better illustrate a situation. | |

Not What It Looks Like: Elliot comes down from her first night of sleep at Dr. Stein's house to see the doctor wielding a knife with red blotches over his lab coat. It turns out to be from him spreading jam and ketchup over bread from brunch. | |

Several comedic moments are punctuated with elements such as Critical Hits and stat boosts for successful actions. | |

Blood Stain (Webcomic) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The cover of the first chapter's cover milks the work's implied horror genre, but there's very little actual horror outside of the protagonist's mindset. In-universe, Dr. Stein uses a literal example from a childhood diary as a "VERY VERY blatant metaphor" for his own personal appearance. A teaser for page 54 turns out just to be the Imagine Spot of the page. | |

Rainbow Pimp Gear: In the MMORPG Moonstone Gate, Elliot asks what Dr. Stein's setup looks like under his cosmetic armor, and said setup is a mishmash of armor sets that optimize his character's stats but is, to put it lightly, aesthetically unappealing. In another strip, Elliot's unicorn armor looks like, in her words, "a stripper with a weird fetish". | |

Absent-Minded Professor: Dr. Stein embodies this trope, as evidenced multiple times throughout the webcomic. He manages to forget that he booked a flight for Elliot and later, when Elliot arrives at his house, he is perplexed at who is his visitor. He himself describes that his "time/space orientation is a little off". His lack of a sleeping schedule leads to him being late for teaching and, if not for Elliot's interruption, he would have forgotten his briefcase. | |

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Elliot has this issue frequently; she is not quite as absent-minded as Dr. Stein, but she lapses into Imagine Spots even when she's being directly talked to. | |

Shout-Out | |
Blood Stain (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The comic was inspired by Helloween. Elliot makes references to Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and The Addams Family in her thoughts. invokedSigeel is not above drawing a parody of the Ancient Aliens meme with her characters, replacing aliens with science. Elliot, bored from the cleaning work she has to do, imagines a beaker as The Hobbit's Arkenstone and Dr. Stein as Smaug. The Moo-Moo Hide piece of armor in an MMORPG short comic hints at Diablo II's Secret Cow Level. The Imagine Spot on page 67 makes references to the Final Fantasy and Pokémon series through a Malboro and Status Effects. | |

Mistaken for Romance: Serge tries to introduce Elliot to Dr. Stein after he picks her up from the airport, but Dr. Stein thinks Serge invited a girlfriend to his home. He still doesn't quite get that Elliot is the new lab assistant until the next morning after Serge explains for an hour. On page 66, Serge assumes that the question Elliot is about to ask him involves an Office Romance between her and Dr. Stein. Elliot is disturbed at his assumption. The follow-up dialogue seems to be a friendly poke toward Shippers. | |

Obliquely Obfuscated Occupation: Elliot and the readers are kept in the dark about the details about Dr. Stein's job beyond the fact that he works "for a science institute". It takes two chapters to reveal that he is a professor at the institute, although he still has myriads of unidentified chemicals at home that hint at a second occupation. An early, scrapped comic has the doctor mention working with viruses, but that is never brought up in any of the completed pages. | |

Running Gag | |
Blood Stain (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Coffee. Dr. Stein's work environment essentially requires caffeine, and as Serge's brew is... not the most appetizing, both Elliot and Dr. Stein frequently poke fun at the lack of respectable coffee and crave a good cup. | |

Lying to Protect Your Feelings | |
Blood Stain (Webcomic) / int_fc5e7c2e | comment |
Lying to Protect Your Feelings: On page 37 — appropriately named 'Lies' — Elliot comforts Clara and Daniel with lies as to why she went missing earlier that day. It is true that she rushed in desperation for the lab assistant position, but the details differ completely. She isn't in a student dorm but Dr. Stein's own home and her boss wasn't in a rush — only the plane flight was. Elliot then tells Clara to 'make up something' to tell their mother. | |

Answer Cut: The end of page 53 ends with Elliot asking Dr. Stein what exactly her job is. The start of page 54 shows her scrubbing beakers and flasks. | |

Out of Job, into the Plot | |
Blood Stain (Webcomic) / int_ffa6e995 | comment |
Out of Job, into the Plot: Not that the job Elliot had beforehand was significant, since she couldn't hold a job anyway. | |
