Girls Next Door (Webcomic) | comment |
Girls Next Door by Pika-la-Cynique is a Buildingverse Fan Webcomic, told from the perspective of the eponymous Girls Next Door:note though they actually live upstairs, not next door, Sarah of Labyrinth and Christine of The Phantom of the Opera. It follows them as they live together as roommates in an apartment building with No Fourth Wall, attend a university, and try to get on with their lives in spite of their respective stalkers-slash-suitors who live downstairs. They are often joined by friends and neighbors from all corners of fiction, including James, Javert, Crowley, Aziraphale, Legolas, Lizzie, Luna and Nanny Ogg.This DeviantArt fancomic is Meta Fic that tends to run on Finagle's Law and Rule of Funny (or Rule of Fanservicenote It should be noted that the comic uses the term "fanservice" somewhat differently that TV Tropes does. While here it generally means "random sexy content included to please the audience," there it means something more like, "random shipping content included to please the audience.").Has a voice-over project on YouTube (here) and an audio only one by Shirekat here. There's also a Hungarian translation project titled A Szomszédlányok. (Scroll down. They have tropes!) | |

Negated Moment of Awesome | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: The Negated and Offscreen Moment of Awesome tropes are more or less running gags in the comic (blame the Fail Field). A couple of examples include: Erik's "plan" to thwart Jareth during the kidnapped Sarah arc. Said plan included the use of salt and deadly black chikins, of which Jareth is known to be very afraid... but Jareth chose the direct approach never setting off the trap. Jareth's planned fight against Peter from Heroes for Sarah's love... which never comes because thanks to Peter(s) and a bunch of goblins the date ends disastrously and Sarah vows to never see the guy again. | |

Tempting Fate: Sarah actually invokes the trope so it'll be subverted when she decides to rummage 'round Jareth's room, since doing so makes it predictable and thus not funny. It doesn't work. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall/No Fourth Wall: Sarah once said she was going to have Hoggle brick up the fourth wall, but she evidently forgot to ask him or he forgot to do it, because there is No Fourth Wall in this comic. Crowley and Aziraphale are most prone to bringing it up, with Legolas coming in second in that regard, but they all mention it from time to time. They discuss their home canons, squeals, fan service, and even the continuity of this comic!note The girls are pretty sure that the Kissing Under the Influence Les Yay Outtake wasn't in continuity. Medium Awareness: The characters are seemingly aware they're in a humor comic, and will sometimes comment on it. They're particularly aware of how fanservice-based their comic is, to Sarah's fury and Jareth's delight. | |

Shipper on Deck: Both our heroines are shippers. Christine is a Sarah/Jareth fangirl. She also seems to ship Javert/Valjean. Outside the story, it has been stated that Sarah has a soft spot for Christine/Erik, but is too good of a best friend to go mucking about in Christine's relationship business. On page 264, we learn that Frank N. Furter also ships Sarah/Jareth… and violently so. | |

Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_352151a3 | comment |
Recursive Reality: The characters come from stories that were real for them but are fictional in the world of the comic (as are all of the people responsible). The comic is fictional in our world, and they know this. And it's implied that it's possible to read the comic in the comic. Is there a true reality? Does the chain of fictionality ever end? We don't know. You reading this could be fictional in some other world/story too. | |

Fourth-Wall Observer | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_3a3489f | comment |
Fourth-Wall Observer: Downplayed in that everyone acknowledges the fourth wall, but Aziraphale and Crowley talk about it much more than anyone else—to the point that they essentially call out the comic on being too meta in one strip. Aziraphale also freaks out over the "continuity!!!" because of the invoked Time Skip (though Crowley doesn't seem to mind). | |

Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_3cb68bd3 | comment |
Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: Here Jareth threatens Erik with magicking all the songs of Miley Cyrus into Christine's head if he doesn't let Sarah go. Later, he uses a rather elaborate threat about how he'll stop Webber before he makes the musical (leaving Erik with only his literary characterization). There are also frequent threats of bogging (being thrown "headfirst into the bog of eternal stench") from Jareth and Sarah. | |

The Hero's Journey | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_4a852053 | comment |
The Hero's Journey: Girls Next Door has been called Jareth's Hero's Journey. Jareth journeys into the Land of Adventure: the Unnamed University Town, which is—in most ways—far stranger than his own labyrinth. There, he meets friends and allies, and works toward his ultimate goal of winning over Sarah, what he sees as the Ultimate Boon—though as Sarah has come to redefine it, something closer to Apotheosis. He's still on the Road of Trials right now, but we have hope for him. | |

Power Perversion Potential: Jareth has magical scrying powers and stalker tendencies. Yes. He uses that power to spy on the girls in the bath/shower (he isn't even that picky). He also seems to preserve his more interesting dreams in crystals. As Pika pointed out it's more stylish than a Porn Stash. And uses his minions to steal Sarah's underwear. | |

Never Wake Up a Sleepwalker: Erik advises Sarah not to wake Christine when she finds her sleepwalking toward his room for some late-night music lessons. Sarah dryly informs him that modern science has disproved that notion, then makes him promise to forget the potential trauma and just dump a bucket of cold water on her if he ever finds her sleepwalking toward Jareth's room. See Brick Joke for the follow-up. | |

Time Skip | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_5fcb9ad1 | comment |
Time Skip: Magically from the inside, even if just a little. Jareth thought that pages 198-199 had too little fanservice, so we can very well skip right to 200. (Yes. This means that the comic doesn't have pages 198-199, and even #197 turns into an error messagenote 19seeeev777.81191WTFfff++CUCUMBER ERROR++.) At the next centennial, he does it again: page #297 is followed by page #301. This time the reasoning is very different though. | |

Ship Sinking | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_67fe4b8e | comment |
Ship Sinking: The Paris arc pretty much takes Erik/Christine off the table, with Christine's official stance being that although she has (very complicated) feelings for Erik, Raoul is the person she can be herself with rather than just The Muse and for that among other reasons she chooses to be with him. Erik, after a lot of angst and being led into temptation by Jareth, eventually comes to terms with this and not long after is seen with his Buildingverse-canon Crossover Ship. | |

Stating the Simple Solution: Luna takes it a step further in "***-Blocked", casually performing the simple solution to finding Jareth's stolen Requisite Royal Regalia ("Accio pendant.") and thus completely destroying "the set up of what was sure to be an epic adventure-romance-hurt/comfort-quest type fanfic." | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: Many of the characters, particularly in comparison to Roommates. Justified, seeing that Girls Next Door is far less Meta-based, and much of the plot is driven by the characters' interactions. Through Rule of Funny and more gradual Character Development focusing on the four main characters (and less Mind Screwy storylines), Girls Next Door manages to land on the favorable side of this trope. Also Raoul compared to his canonical iteration, but he is still just The Gadfly. | |

Art Shift: The art shifts between a more conventionally beautiful, serious style, and a more cartoony, exaggerated style. They shift back and forth with the mood of the story—serious scenes with serious art, and funny scenes with cartoony art. It's even lampshaded. | |

Questionable Consent | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_9400b3b5 | comment |
Questionable Consent: JS inherited it from their canon—Sarah's not going to let the peach be forgotten. Here in the comic, the trope Questionable Consent is played with many different ways in their relationship. As Character Development goes on, Questionable Consent gets increasingly subverted, inverted, and generally not played straight. Subverted when Sarah has a magical dreams, and wakes from it to find herself halfway to Jareth's room. She is furious, and berates him for using magic to write dreams for her. But as the reader (but not Sarah) later learns, he wasn't using magic to fuck with her dreams. He called out to her, in some sort of telepathic, magic way... and she came, all of her own will. This is so the default for their relationship that in the ball arc, Sarah has to specifically lampshade it, and ask for the trope to be defied. The first time they kiss, it's via a minor form of Sexual Extortion, and fairly unconsensual, or at least the realm of "highly Questionable". The second time they kiss, much Character Development later, it's inverted: Jareth tries to make sure it's very consensual, which Sarah is impressed by. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Not quite as pronounced as Roommates, but it happens. See for example 211, which begins with a pretty intense discussion on why A Match Made in Stockholm really isn't a viable option and ends with Nanny Ogg smacking Jareth on the seat of his criminally tight pants. The main difference is: GND uses this trope to ease drama with humor, while Roommates can whiplash in any way possible. | |

Dramatic Irony: Sarah has a crush on David Bowie, while Christine has a crush on Leonidas, but could very well have a crush on Gerard Butler. If you don't get the joke, look up the actors of their respective stalkers. Almost Lampshaded when Christine thinks it's weird that Sarah likes Bowie, but couldn't put her finger on why. Erik, meanwhile, still holds a flame for Christine, but is trying to move on with his new love interest Blind Mag. Both women were played by Sarah Brightman. | |

Hell, she's attending this ball in the first place of her own volition. The power dynamics are shifted. This is—nominally at least—Sarah's ball, that she's hosting for Éponine. And in practice, it's their ball jointly, and they are equally the hosts. That's a far cry from Sarah being tricked into it through a magic drugged roofie peach. | |

Girl Scouts Are Evil: Or at least Jerkasses. For their misfortune Erik qualifies as Retired Monster and didn't take their antics too well, so he introduced them to the Pale Man. How this changed later depends on what you think about the Pale Man's new brownie sash. | |

Of Corset Hurts | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_be795a6c | comment |
Sarah tries one on once, and agrees Of Corset Hurts. That page—with Sarah trying to fit into this corset that she doesn't really know how to put on, with no help—is a bit Of Corsets Funny too. Jareth thinks Of Corsets Sexy. That particular comic page is a fan favorite, having spawned at least one fic on deviantART. | |

Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_c007c53 | comment |
Cool and Unusual Punishment: Inviting Jadis to stay and telling the Opera House's lawyers where Erik was living was this, although mainly to allow the girls some free time away from the stalking to study. Sarah later threatens to invite Jadis around again if she discovers Jareth's involvement in the broken air conditioning. | |

Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_c145f69b | comment |
Subverted when Sarah has a magical dreams, and wakes from it to find herself halfway to Jareth's room. She is furious, and berates him for using magic to write dreams for her. But as the reader (but not Sarah) later learns, he wasn't using magic to fuck with her dreams. He called out to her, in some sort of telepathic, magic way... and she came, all of her own will. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: More or less running gags in the comic (together with Negated Moment of Awesome). A couple of examples include: The off-screen fight between Jareth and Frank-N-Furter, which many readers imagine to be an epic thrown-down of glittery madness. The Chikin' Coup, which also evolved into a Noodle Incident. (Yes. It sounds ridiculous. But it caused a Fair Folk to develop chicken phobia!) The battle between Bad Horse and the Old Spice Guy. | |

Beyond the Impossible: The main reason Chihiro is the unofficial president of the Wibsy (Weirdo Boyfrend & Supernatural Stalker club) is that, using Christine's words, "It's hard to trump dating a river." While the others have at least human-shaped (a fae, a ghost and a vampire, amongst others; Christine with her murderous deformed psycho is the most normal of them all) boyfriends/stalkers, this is impossible by their standards... though the river was in the form of a human boy that looked her age at the time Chihiro fell for him. | |

Lighter and Softer: Despite having R-rated villains and some frank talk of intimate relations, it is this in relation to its successor because it plays said villains for humor, and tends to skim over the darker plots of Roommates. The "Dreams" arc was given a very brief, much more lighthearted alternate plot, and the proper arc is only vaguely alluded to. | |

Tangled Family Tree: Jareth's inexplicable relation to pretty much every magical blond in fiction (Jadis is his mom, Nuada is his nephew, Howl is his great great great great grand-nephew once removed...) is something of a Running Gag. This comes from Roommates. In the Buildingverse every magical being is related somehow, not just the blonds. | |

Writer on Board: Pika's feminist views show in the comic. Mostly when she gleefully deconstructs many sexist tropes and lampshades at least as many more in the process. Christine's Character Filibusters about things like the madness of A Match Made in Stockholm/Scarpia Ultimatum could be very well interpreted as Author Filibusters. Pika also makes it perfectly clear what she thinks about The Twilight Saga (and by extension sexist romances brim full with Unfortunate Implications; Their characters won't survive in the Fail Field) and Sequelitis (Never happened). | |

Terrible Interviewees Montage: The Monster Hunter Interview pages. The applicants range from Ash (perfectly hopeless) to Harry Dresden (too destructive) and seem to end with Beowulf (too late). | |

Running Gag | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The prom photos, Owl!Jareth, Erik's hatred of glitter, the chikins. Also that of various things appearing in Christine's mirror that are not Erik. Sarah's David Bowie obsession—and her complete obliviousness as to why that is. | |

Narrating the Present | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_fd6de9a1 | comment |
Narrating the Present / Narrating the Obvious: Legolas is prone to do this in his usual Captain Obvious way. Also, Grave Robber did it here. Legolas was not amused. | |

With Friends Like These... | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: Everybody, but especially Jareth and Erik, who co-exist in a state of open warfare punctuated by occasional bouts of empathizing with each other's relationship drama. | |

Brick Joke | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Back in comic #35, Sarah wrangles a promise from Erik to wake her up if she's ever found wandering towards a certain person's room in her sleep. 2 years and 93 comics later, she gets a rather rude awakening. A literal example: Sarah packs a couple bricks into her and Christine's purses in case they need to smash their way out of the upcoming goblin ball. After all the dust settles from said ball, Jareth nearly gets brained by one of them. May also count as Foreshadowing, since the Christine memory-wipe issue has yet to be resolved... | |

Buffy Speak | |
Girls Next Door (Webcomic) / int_fea27091 | comment |
Buffy Speak: The goblins aren't very eloquent, and they're prone to this in general. The way they title Sarah is a particularly funny example. They can't quite call her "Queen Sarah" yet, so they instead use the Buffy Speak version of the title: "Sarah Boss Lady." | |
