Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Seasons, written by Nandor Fox Shaffer, and drawn by Anthony Gonzales-Clark, is the story of a young man named Fletcher, who's living in a rut. He lives alone, works two jobs, and is estranged from his parents. His only remaining reason to live is his beautiful coworker Cathlyn, and he dreams of one day getting up the nerve to ask her out. The upcoming office party in honor of the company's founder should be the perfect opportunity, right?Only minutes before Fletcher can finally tell her how he really feels about her, Cathlyn introduces him to her new boyfriend James, absolutely destroying him in the process. But this is more than just heartbreak- all of a sudden, Fletcher can see Cathlyn's future- one where she marries James, and Fletcher is completely absent. Running away in despair, Fletcher's heartbreak and depression suddenly manifest themselves in a shadowy mirror version of himself. And for some reason, both him and his clone have strange extraordinary powers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })When his shadow-self begins wreaking havoc on his city, Fletcher has no choice but to contain the damage he's inadvertently caused, by stopping the clone from creating shadowy copies of other people. Along the way, he's forced to confront his own past, and the personal issues that gave rise to his shadow in the first place.Published on Arktoons, Seasons began running weekly on April 29th, 2021. It updates every Friday.

Genre Shift: The beginning heavily implies the story is a wistful melodramatic romance. After Fletcher's shadow comes to life, it swings radically into a supernatural thriller.

comment
Poor Communication Kills: Fletcher wasn't told about his younger brother until late, leading him to believe that he wasn't enough for his parents. This was the beginning of his downward spiral into hedonism.

How Do I Shot Web?

comment
How Do I Shot Web?: Fletcher doesn't know how to use his powers at first. Even after improving his conscious use of what he can do, he still finds himself unable to figure out how to activate certain powers he had done at least once before.

Cannot Spit It Out: Fletcher fears rejection so much he misses every chance he gets to ask Cathlyn out, deciding to wait for a perfect moment instead. It comes back to bite him, big time.

Driven to Suicide: Fletcher tried to kill himself with pills after dropping out of high school. Meeting Cathlyn was the thing that put those thoughts to rest. After she starts dating someone else, those thoughts come back with a literal vengeance.

Armor-Piercing Question
 Seasons (Webcomic) / int_7b6e47a5
comment
Armor-Piercing Question: Fletcher's shadow demands to know why Fletcher is still alive, after wasting so much of his potential. Fletcher realizes that he's absolutely right, and that he needs to change. This finally allows him to defeat the shadow once and for all, by absorbing it back inside of him.

Heel Realization: Fletcher's family unconditionally loves him, but he has no illusions that he fails to properly reciprocate this love in his current state. This itself motivates him to start looking inside deep to change.

comment
Entitled to Have You: The main reason shadow!Fletcher exists in the first place. Fletcher himself tells Cathlyn that he "just wanted to hold [her] hand", and his shadow form springs to life shortly after. The shadow insists at different points that they shared a real connection with her, and she took it away from them.

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read
 Seasons (Webcomic) / int_ddfb4e53
comment
A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: When Fletcher is struck with uncontrollable telepathy, he accidentally reads the minds around him. These are short but succinct enough if lacking context and some of those disturb him greatly. Worst of all, Cathlyn's thoughts about her new beau set off the story.
