Cirque Royale is a fantasy Slice-of-Life Webcomic by atomicbritt.After a fifteen-year absence, Quinn Mills-Klownikov is now the ruler of Clowny Island, a traveling circus kingdom, after her late father George's passing; she has returned with her mixed mime/clown husband Kingston and her three children: the twins Claudette and Charlie and younger Red. The comic follows the everyday lives—past and present—of the new royal family (and their friends and family), who are trying to keep their failing kingdom from falling apart and deal with their respective personal issues.Cirque Royale updates on Thursdays on Tapas, Webtoon, tumblr, Global Comix, and its domain.

Half-Identical Twins: Claudette and Charlie are boy-girl twins who look very much alike. Fred and Will were before Will transitioned to male—now they look even more alike. | |

Plot-Triggering Death | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_13e1c444 | comment |
King George Mills — the former Clown King, late husband of Louise, and father of Quinn, Penelope, Fred, and Will. He's seen only in flashbacks, often to Quinn's childhood and youth (and that of her family and friends). His death is why Quinn is queen now, seen in the side comic "Vaude Save the Queen". He's only been dead for about two months at the start of the comic. | |

Hippie Parents | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_16b734e7 | comment |
Hippie Parents: Daisy's parents are stated to be so; Daisy and their brothers grew up in a household that basically didn't go to doctors or hospitals (outside of being born) and never bothered with modern medicine, and each child was allowed to pick their name at three, being called "child" until then. Unlike most of the examples of this trope, Daisy doesn't seem embarrassed by their parents or the way they grew up. Queen Louise is described by the author as an anti-vaxx hippy. A side comic has her not wanting to deal with doctors, George saying that "crystals and candles" won't help, and Louise blaming vaccinations for Quinn's autism. | |

Artistic License – Biology: Conjoined Twins are always identical twins in reality, since they're one zygote that doesn't complete the split into identical twins. atomicbritt has stated she knows this but it's her taking creative license in making Will and Fred born as Half-Identical Twins as well as conjoined.. | |

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_1a09b4f9 | comment |
The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Between Quinn and Penelope, starting in childhood with Quinn as the heir to the throne who didn't want to be and Penelope as the Spare to the Throne who from birth has constantly been in her older sister's shadow. They got along somewhat as children with help from Kingston and Leo as part of their friend group and because Penelope looked up to her older sister, but things became much worse after Quinn ran away from home. Penelope thought of her as ungrateful and unworthy of her position, and that Quinn had everything handed to her and threw it all away in a fit of rebellion. When Quinn first tries to connect at Red's birthday party, Penelope angrily snaps that she had everything and she used to look up to Quinn, but Quinn now is trying to squeeze in like everything is "fine again." However, they are starting to reconnect after Quinn's return and while things still are tense and they spar and spat often, they do sincerely care for each other. Quinn comforts Penelope after she has a freakout about being touched unexpectedly due to recovering from Domestic Abuse, and offers to take Penelope to a cafe she likes to talk as sisters. And Penelope comforts Quinn during the Lantern Day dinner, after she's sulking after Aries' riling her up at the town hall; she reminds Quinn that there were more clowns on her side than on the side of the mob that went to attack mimes for celebrating Lantern Day and Aries is just a power-hungry egoist. | |

| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_1bf4aeb3 | comment |
The Merch: In-Universe. Quinn, as the first female heir ever in clown history, was marketed kingdomwide by her parents. This included books and "Lil Quinny" dolls with clothes and playsets. Her "sidekick" little sister Penny would sometimes be included in books, but never got a doll of her own. | |

The Freakshow | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_259dc974 | comment |
The Freakshow: Quinn's father King George insisted on only the "right kinds" of clowns being allowed to perform in the circus in his day; he regulated anyone who didn't fit his vision to the freak show such as disabled clowns or a non-family friendly act. Daisy, Cupcake, and Kingston were all former freak show acts as well as Ron being regulated there before Quinn's return. Will and Fred started out there at only five days old, since they were born as Conjoined Twins and named Wilfred. | |

What's Up, King Dude? | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_272b4fce | comment |
What's Up, King Dude?: The royal family isn't separated from the citizens of Clowny Island; they wander around cities and towns freely, and live in the same kind of mobile-place on wheels as the other citizens. Quinn holds a public town meeting on Lantern Day—which means she and Kingston can't be available initially—that anyone in the kingdom can attend and speak their mind about anything, even if they have nothing useful to say. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Dowager Queen "Louise the Beautiful" Mills initially came off as a shallow, anti-vaxx hippy who believed in crystal healing, and something of an Innocent Bigot whose only defining trait outside of being the circus's fortune teller was that she was beautiful (which is why she was set up to marry George in the first place). She also continues to call Red, Charlie, and Claudie her "lavender grandbabies", which neither they nor Quinn like. However she's shown to be much more than that. She's nowhere near as nasty to mimes as her late husband George was; she's always cared for Manet despite him being a servant and treats him like close family, as well as his son Pascal who was raised alongside her children. She's learned how to respectfully refer to her trans son as Will and has learned about the gender spectrum (she was taught by Daisy in what she calls "terrifyingly educational"). She did many things behind George's back to let mime culture continue in secret after he banned it in retaliation for Quinn running off with Kingston, and now has no problem that Quinn allows it openly; she's even pleased that the Freak Show is now part of the circus proper, smirking when she says that "George wouldn't like this at all" and showing she had some degree of contempt for her late husband. Most of all when her Conjoined Twins were born she loved them from the first day — and when George wanted to force their separation (which would have likely killed one of the two twins) Louise, in fear for her children's lives, talked him out of it by putting them in the Freak Show and saving them—and when they were confined to the attic by King George who didn't want them walking around being seen for free, she spent so much time with them in the attic that she rarely appeared in public afterwards. | |

Dead Guy Junior: Claudette and Charlie were named after their late paternal grandparents. (They're frequently distinguished out from the children by being called Charles Sr. and Claudette Sr. in notes.) Red was named after Quinn's grandmother and her great grandmother, Retta. Quinn herself was named after her grandfather King Quinten (making her Quinten II and giving her a Gender-Blender Name). | |

Third Wheel: Charles was this to George and Louise; he was George's best friend and George kept him around for years. Louise put up with him more than anything else, eventually suggesting he be the Clowny Kingdom Ambassador to Mimopolis to get him off her couch. Played for Laughs when a side panel shows that a photo George had on his desk of him and Charles was actually his wedding picture and Louise had been standing to the side giving a dirty look. | |

Everyone Hates Mimes | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_35ae7226 | comment |
Everyone Hates Mimes: Less individual mimes and more the species as a whole. Other species (especially clowns) perceive mimes as violent, dangerous, criminals and thus in need of restraint and control. King George called them simple creatures (since they can't talk verbally) who are better off serving in other countries such as Clowny Island than "stumbling" around on the "dangerous" streets of Mimopolis, and that their powers need to be controlled to stop them from hurting themselves or others. He also never approved of his best friend's wife, Claudette Sr, and once called her a deranged mime harlot where Kingston overheard after she was dead and then called Kingston a harlequin. Leo and Diana's father, Aries Cashworthy, uses this perception of violent mimes to send an angry riot towards mimes celebrating during Lantern Day (to make Quinn look bad as a ruler). | |

Your Mime Makes It Real: Pascal is capable of producing solid illusions that others can interact with as long as he understands the shape and how it works, including vehicles. The larger and more complex shapes, like a car, take more energy and so don't last as long and can lead to burnout—and the item disappearing—if he strains himself. | |

Parental Substitute | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_3f11ef74 | comment |
Parental Substitute: Manet for Quinn. While the Mills children all had two parents growing up (and their mother Louise is still alive), Manet was brought on initially because George and Louise were struggling with Quinn from infancy and took on the role as another parent to her. He took care of her and taught her sign language when she was non-verbal, and while she was being forced through ABA therapy, he was the one she found comfort in before and after her training. He also expected her not to come back to Clowny Island after she left. Ron for Leo, whose father was and is a jerk. Ron took him in under his wing to train him as a strongman, and complimented him where Aries never did. As Leo got older he connected more with Ron as a father figure, though he won't admit it, and now that Leo has been disowned by his father which meant repossessing his house, he's since moved in with Ron and his husband Ted. | |

Wham Shot: Fred is telling his nieces and nephew about how he lost his leg—on Red's insistence that he do so.

Then you see George's horrified face, followed by the image of Fred and Will as infants—born as Conjoined Twins, with only three legs between the two babies. | |

Shock Collar | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_4ff59a5a | comment |
Shock Collar: Mimes serving their sentences out as servants are outfitted with shock collars their masters have the remote of; they can be zapped for misbehaving or stepping out of line, and the collars also suppress mime abilities and activate to shock them when mimes are too angry or have violent thoughts. Quinn is stealthily replacing the collars with inert decoys in Clowny Island, to try and help end mime servitude in her kingdom. Manet refused it, however. | |

Tattoo as Character Type | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_53b22e1f | comment |
Tattoo as Character Type: Among Kingston's many tattoos, the ones near his right wrist of five elephants represent his family, and his back one is of the Mimopolis skyline, which is where he grew up. (The octopus is just because he thought it was cool). He also was in the Freak Show as a tattooed harlequin. Quinn has three stars near her c-section scar representing the children. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Clowns toward mimes and vice versa. Mimes are seen as violent criminals in need of restraint while in servitude in other kingdoms, and a riot against them is formed on Lantern Day when they are dancing around a bonfire when it's framed as them conspiring together. Other species in the world tend to be prejudiced against others as well; clowns are considered stupid, creepy, and have too many babies. Many of them don't live very far away from Clowny Island. After Kingston and Quinn ran away (because Kingston was in mental distress), King George blamed Kingston for "kidnapping" her and banned all expressions of mime culture in Clowny Island. | |

Domestic Abuse | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_590eb583 | comment |
Domestic Abuse: Penelope went through this with her ex-husband, Benjamin, a novelty stuffed animal maker. Red sees a picture of him and, being obsessed with prince and princess stories, asks Penelope if he was her "Prince Charming." Penelope suffers through a short (but intensely seen) Flash Back (with the repeating of the words "prince charming" on a black background in jagged red letters in the background) of a time where—after another occurrence of Ben hitting her and breaking things—she stayed home with her dogs and missed the twins' birthday party, claiming to her mom that she had to help her husband with the novelty gifts before curling up with her dogs, bruised and crying. She then—in the present—rips the picture of the two of them and says "no" emphatically. The comic does not play her abuse for laughs at all—it clearly traumatized Penelope as she has PTSD, and the comic showing her being hurt has a disclaimer that includes contacting domestic abuse help websites in the US. | |

| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_661d7909 | comment |
Maligned Mixed Marriage: Quinn is frequently insulted for having run off and married a "harlequin", because Kingston is clown/mime mixed. This is also true with Kingston's own parents Charles Sr. (a clown) and Claudette Sr. (a mime); King George once referred to Claudette Sr. as a deranged mime harlot within earshot of Kingston, and she was never truly accepted by Charles Sr.' friends. | |

Rebellious Princess | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_6a1cbf28 | comment |
Rebellious Princess: Quinn ran away from home and was seen as this by her family and Aries Cashworthy, having left because she was in love with Kingston. In truth, she left to support Kingston while he was in the middle of a mental crisis and, while away, realized she was no longer under the pressures of being next in line to the throne anymore. She willingly stayed hidden from her family for fifteen years, living in the Sheep Kingdom and taking care of large cats in a sanctuary (and marrying Kingston and having three children). Her children didn't even know they were royalty until Penelope came and told Quinn their father had died—and thus she was queen now. Penelope calls being rebellious a tired trope Quinn was foolish to believe in. | |

Altar Diplomacy | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_7294b403 | comment |
Altar Diplomacy: This was the reason that Crown Princess Quinn was engaged to marry Leo; he was considered worthy to be her fiance as the Cashworthys are the wealthiest family in the kingdom, in a case of Nobility Marries Money. Quinn learns during the side story "Non-Stop: Side B" that she was basically sold off by her parents to cover contracts they signed; the influx of money from the Cashworthys was needed because the kingdom was all but broke, and marrying Leo would bring money to the kingdom and stabilize their finances after taking out many loans from Cashworthy Finances. The contract even says any breach (such as if she had divorced Leo later) would call in the unpaid loans immediately. She doesn't take it well. Especially when she learns that because the marriage arraignment was broken, she's the one the hook for the breach and has to start to pay back the loans without a grace period or else Aries will take the kingdom as collateral. | |

Arranged Marriage | |

Arranged Marriage: Penelope explains to her niece, Red, that the royal line has always had the parents set up the next in line with an "appropriate" partner with wanted qualities for the kingdom—such as strength, beauty, or wisdom. Quinn was set up to marry Leo Cashworthy, due to the Cashworthys' wealth in part because the kingdom was broke and needed the money the Cashworthys would bring to the kingdom, but she ran away from home and married Kingston instead. Multiple kingdoms have these, in order to form alliances; Flower Queen and Cactus Queen are part of an arraigned marriage, and happen to have fallen in love. (Toothpaste Queen and Orange King, not so much.) | |

The Whitest Black Guy: The clowniest mime. Pascal, having been raised in Clowny Island with his father Manet (who serves the royal family) and never been to Mimopolis, is much more aligned with clown culture than mime culture. His Embarrassing Nickname among the other mimes is "Iris Berry"—blue on the inside, purple on the outside. The author theorizes that he'd be more comfortable in a romantic relationship with a clown instead of a mime. | |

Made a Slave | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_8437cb10 | comment |
Lantern Day. It's a mime holiday celebrating mime freedom. Mimes had been enslaved as entertainers in Human Kingdom and to escape, scared the superstitious humans by sending lanterns shaped like ghosts floating into the sky, then ran away during the night back to Mimiopolis while the humans were hiding inside. To celebrate, mimes have parties, then send lanterns floating up into the sky to celebrate freedom and honor the dead. (Notes to those that have passed on are also a tradition; Kingston sends his annual letter to his late parents this way.) This is then followed with a large feasting dinner full of Mimean food. "Episode Nine: Lantern Day" covers the celebration being held since the Klownikovs have become the ruling family of Clowny Island. | |

The Speechless | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_92a61707 | comment |
The Speechless: Mimes as a species. They cannot talk verbally; their "vocal" communication is actually done telepathically and only able to be heard naturally by mimes. Communication with other species is done with sign language. Kingston can (as can his children) as they're biracial, but they also "speak" in mime. When Kingston suffers flashbacks remembering his parents' deaths on the twenty-year anniversary, he wears himself out so badly he can't speak, and has to initially sign to his wife Quinn until she can put in her Blackfish earpiece translator (which she has because of him and the children and used to belong to Kingston's father since he had a mime wife and half mime child.) | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Ron for Leo, whose father was and is a jerk. Ron took him in under his wing to train him as a strongman, and complimented him where Aries never did. As Leo got older he connected more with Ron as a father figure, though he won't admit it, and now that Leo has been disowned by his father which meant repossessing his house, he's since moved in with Ron and his husband Ted. | |

Wanted a Son Instead | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_b1814b1d | comment |
Wanted a Son Instead: Zigzagged. After Quinn and Penelope—both girls—King George was hoping the third pregnancy between him and Louise would result in a son; he wanted a boy to pass on the family name and be able to do the things "fathers and sons were supposed to do" with. The doctors predicted a third princess and the first prince from the twin pregnancy. Who was born were the male-and-female Conjoined Twins, which were named Wilfred. | |

What If?: In universe. While deep in the effects of the scorpion venom and nearly dying, Leo has a hallucination of what might have been if instead of watching Kingston and Quinn (who was pregnant with the twins) walk away in the store when he saw them in the Sheep Kingdom—and thus letting them remain hidden—he had spoken to them, reconnected, and ran away and stayed with them instead. | |

Demihuman | |

Demihuman: The clown and mime species, as well as other species. The author lays out each race's traits here. Clowns' unique traits include light blue skin with colorful, often curly hair (any color but black), prominent red noses, solid black eyes, star-shaped nipples, and a fried and sugary-based diet; they can't digest meat. They have superhuman and physical abilities (super strength, voice manipulation) and an affinity towards Speaking Fluent Animal. Mimes have pointy ears and fingers, purple skin, sharp teeth, blue eyes, and black facial markings. They are also mute and cannot talk verbally; their "vocal" communication is actually done telepathically and only able to be heard naturally by mimes. Some have psychic abilities (light manipulation, illusions, etc). Also they are all obligate carnivores and need to eat meat, but aren't very buff. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Charlie plays Basements and Banshees with friends in the local comic shop. Among Penelope's items in her toy collection are toys and dolls for Raggedy Ann, Leela, the 2018 She-Ra show, the controversial Earring Magic Ken, Marge and Lisa, Sailor Moon, and Steven Universe—as well as the brands "My Little Hippo", "Human High", and "Burby". Costumes in the Spooky Day side comic include Cookie Cat and Pearl, "Arachnid-Boy" (who Quinn initially asks Charlie if he wants to be instead of Swamp Princess), Miraculous Ladybug, and a sheep person dressed as Princess Tiana. Episode 47 and 48 of "Non-Stop," has Shaggy (as a clown) and Scooby from Scooby-Doo walking by, and Rag Doll people versions of Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles, and Bunny of the Powerpuff Girls. The Mane Six of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are in the background in one comic. Applejack and Rarity appear to be a couple; Twilight is watching Quinn, Leo, and Kingston walking by; and Rainbow Dash is running by carrying a bag for GrubDash. (Since this is the Unicorn Kingdom, they're all unicorns.) Twilight Sparkle is seen again as an assistant to King Hemlock, and is named "Eventide." The background when Pascal and Matisse are at the record store include parody covers of albums by Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Nirvana, The Beatles, Lizzo, Björk, and Gorillaz. Penelope's cotton candy poodles have been named after various musicians—as seen here. This includes Dolly, Charo, Rosetta (Rosetta Tharpe), and Berry. Her current two (that also serve as psychiatric service dogs to her) are Marina and Diamond. When Leo is starting to hallucinate due to the scorpion venom coursing through him, he sees Quinn as a Monster High doll; this is a custom doll of Quinn the author made. Will and Fred's room has references to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Kirby, CatDog, Steven Universe, and Andy Samberg. Valeria MajestyMoon, the Unicorn Princess, collects My Little Hippo. A one-of-a-kind version was gifted to her when she was five and toured the factory—which means the one that the antagonist scorpion Scorpowitz attacked Quinn, Leo, and Kingston over breaking was a fake. When Leo and Quinn as children do the worst dances they can think of to frustrate Queen Louise, they do two dances that reference the dancing from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Ted, Ron Strongson's husband, is a Captain Ersatz of The Simpsons' Ned Flanders. | |

Speak Ill of the Dead | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_d259fea2 | comment |
Speak Ill of the Dead: As more comes out about the late King George and his actions towards others when alive, his family and others speak up more and more about him in a poor light. Penelope is the major exception, often complaining when others around her speak ill of her late father. King George called Claudette Sr. a deranged mime harlot in earshot of Kingston after his failed audition. Charles Sr. and Claudette Sr. had been dead for several years at that point. | |

Cast Full of Gay | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_d32cd9f5 | comment |
Cast Full of Gay: Multiple characters are some form of queer. The only four known to be cishet are Quinn (though she does lean towards poly), dowager queen Louise, Penelope, and Pascal. Kingston is biromantic demisexual. Charlie is acearo and has no interest in romance whatsoever. Claudette and Matisse are both lesbian. Will is FTM transgender. Fred is gay. Leo is pansexual and polyamorous. Cupcake is bisexual. Daisy is pansexual, nonbinary, and intersex, and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns. Milo, Charlie's friend, is genderfluid and uses she/they/xi pronouns. Ron is homoromantic and asexual; he's married to Ted. Manet, Pascal's father, was first listed as "unknown", with one side comic stating he seems straight but isn't. A later side comic confirms he's somewhere on the aromantic spectrum and doesn't particularly care about the specifics, just knows that romance "isn't for him." All plants are asexual with any romantic orientation, but the Carnation Queen of Plant Kingdom is also lesbian. | |

Animal Motifs | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: Quinn is associated with tigers and large cats—they're not only her hyperfocus, but she is a skilled animal tamer. When she and Kingston ran away from home, they hid in a large cat sanctuary she ran. She was also engaged to Leo Cashworthy. Penelope is associated with dogs, specifically poodles. As a child she played with and trained dogs to perform in the family circus, and is almost always seen with one. As an adult she not only keeps her curly hair the same shade as her cotton candy poodles, but trains and breeds them herself, including her two psychiatric service dogs Marina and Diamond. | |

Indentured Servitude | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_f2b03c88 | comment |
Indentured Servitude: Mimes who are criminals (or are framed as them for any reason, including just turning eighteen and thus now old enough to be made a servant) are sent out by Mimopolis to various kingdoms including the Clown Kingdom as indentured servants, where they have to serve until they've earned off their sentence (with the theoretical pay being sent back the Mimopolis queen, Empress Renoir). This can be for decades or even life; Manet got a lifetime sentence. Some people who feel sorry for the conditions of mimes and the screwed up prison system apply to take mimes in as "servants" but instead house them more like exchange students. | |

Fictional Holiday | |
| Cirque Royale (Webcomic) / int_f609fcfe | comment |
Fictional Holiday: Lantern Day. It's a mime holiday celebrating mime freedom. Mimes had been enslaved as entertainers in Human Kingdom and to escape, scared the superstitious humans by sending lanterns shaped like ghosts floating into the sky, then ran away during the night back to Mimiopolis while the humans were hiding inside. To celebrate, mimes have parties, then send lanterns floating up into the sky to celebrate freedom and honor the dead. (Notes to those that have passed on are also a tradition; Kingston sends his annual letter to his late parents this way.) This is then followed with a large feasting dinner full of Mimean food. "Episode Nine: Lantern Day" covers the celebration being held since the Klownikovs have become the ruling family of Clowny Island. Renamed holidays mentioned so far (in side comics, mostly) are Spooky Day in place of Halloween, and Carnation Day in place of Valentine's Day. | |

Nobility Marries Money: This was the intention with the betrothal of Quinn and Leo, because the Cashworthys were (and still are) the richest family in the kingdom. This was in part because the kingdom was broke and needed the money the Cashworthys would bring to the kingdom. However, Quinn ran away from home with Kingston when he was having a bad mental break and married him instead. | |
