Elf Life recounts the adventures of Baughb the Elf, an ancient, legendary hero, who is presumed to be dead. To everyone's surprise, he resurfaces one day and, instead of being a noble hero, seemingly turns out to be a weird and goofy character. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: Averted. Airek is frightened when Glynhial is freed from the book he caught her in. As a faerie, Glynhial is feared by most inhabitants of the world of Elf Life as a monster who caused the "great convergence". It turns out that this is only a cover story to distract from the Big Bad, the Empress. | |

You Can't Fight Fate: Word of God states that Elf Life's time travel doesn't allow changing the past (or future); all time travel, and all effects of time travel, were always destined to happen. That doesn't stop Baughb from trying to change the future, though (until Fillis finally talks him out of it, because she's satisfied with living with him until the end of the world and then dying together). | |

The Ageless | |
Elf Life (Webcomic) / int_796fa10c | comment |
The Ageless: Faeries don't age beyond adulthood. Glynhial had already lived for quite some time in the oldest flashbacks, about a thousand years before the main story. She's still alive on present day Earth, about a thousand years after the main story. The sprites, on the other hand, seem to view time as just another spatial dimension, and are possibly as old as the universe itself, if age even applies to them. Averted with the elves, who do grow old, just a lot slower than humans (their age is measured in centuries rather than decades). | |

When Airek adresses the Mermaid Problem, Glynhial points out that mermaids do have functional legs inside their tails which will come out now that she's on land... but as Thea's lived in the ocean her whole life, they'll be hideously stunted and misshapen. Turns out they're quite attractive, actually. | |

I Hate Past Me | |
Elf Life (Webcomic) / int_98160158 | comment |
I Hate Past Me: "Evil Baughb" is Baughb's younger self, living in the future. Twisted by despair into an evil wreck, he is trying to go back in time to destroy the world he came from. Somehow, he regained (will regain) his Glamour and (most of) his sanity, although exactly how this happened (will happen) is still not known. This trope might work both ways; Evil Baughb definitely hates his older self, who lives in the past. Baughb might not hate his past self, who lives in the future, but he's certainly not proud of what he once was (will be). | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
Elf Life (Webcomic) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Baughb's a lot smarter than he initially lets on. The discrepancy between the easygoing goofball of the early stories and the hardened cynic of some later stories is so big that you'd classify it as a case of Characterization Marches On. At least until you remember that Baughb left his original time period in a state of chaos, travelled to a future in which elves are no more, was temporarily reduced to a wretched shadow of his old self, and finally made his way back to a time period shortly before the definitive end of elvenkind. His early naïve cheerfulness might just be a defense mechanism to keep him from going insane. | |

It doesn't stop there; her father was the childless empress' half-brother, making Filis the last living descendant of the old royal family. She doesn't know any of this herself. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: Baughb has travelled for a long time through the faerie gates, trying to return to his loved ones. He's been stranded in many different places and time periods. When arriving in Filis' and Aerik's time, he decides to give up his quest and stay. It is later revealed that his quest was actually fulfilled. The reason he went through the faerie gates in the first place was that baby Filis was thrown into one. When he found the adult Filis safe and sound, he could kick back and relax for the first time in a century. | |

The Hero | |

The Hero: Played with in many ways. The early stories show Baughb as somewhere between Idiot Hero and Byronic Hero. Later stories show him as more of a Guile Hero. During his life, he's also been cast as Tragic Hero and Fallen Hero. Baughb himself doesn't think of himself as a hero. | |

Webcomic Time: "The Wedding" storyline, chronicling the events of a single day, ran for about two years! It did, however, contain several extended flashbacks. | |

Innocent Innuendo: Filis is gushing to Airek about how she and Baughb spent the previous day "frolicking". When Airek mentions that she didn't need to use euphemisms around him, she explodes: | |

Phantasy Spelling | |

Phantasy Spelling: Apart from "faerie", some of the main characters have exotic spellings of everyday names. Baughb = Bob. Filis = Phyllis. Airek = Eric. It has been noted that Filis' name is the only one less ornamental than its mundane counterpart, just like Filis is a no-nonsense character. | |
