Space Boy (Webcomic) | comment |
Amy is from a mining colony in deep space. Born with Synesthesia, Amy has always found that people come in 'Flavors.' Her mom is minty, her dad is hot chocolate, and her best friend is pineapple. After her father loses his job, her family is cryogenically frozen for the 30 year trip to Earth. Upon arrival, she is tired, unhappy and has much to complain about the strange new world she lives in and the friends she had to leave behind. After finally attending school and coming to grips with her new situation, she starts to open up and make new friends. It seems like Amy could enjoy a relatively normal life on Earth after all. And then she meets Oliver, a person with no Flavor.Space Boy is a webcomic created by Stephen Mccranie, which can be read on Webtoons, and paperback volumes are available to purchase. It started in March 2015 and is currently on its fifth (and possibly final) story arc. The wiki can also be found here. | |

Space Boy (Webcomic) / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: The teardrop shape of the Artifact, which is reflected on Amy's yellow shirt and the stylized orange drops that appear when Oliver shows a bit of his real personality. Amy's impossible pigtails take a loose teardrop shape, too. The bird that flies past the train window when Amy first arrives on Earth, which tends to show up at moments of transition. Jemmah and Amy's smiley face with the tongue sticking out. Amy draws it on Oliver's hand when they first meet. | |

Good Is Not Dumb | |
Space Boy (Webcomic) / int_21ef4ccd | comment |
Good Is Not Dumb: Due to her sweet, naive nature, Amy is underestimated often. But she's much more intuitive than she appears and gets herself out of more than a few scrapes when her life is at risk. Downplayed for that last part: He Who Wanders ‘grafted’ a survival instinct into Amy to ensure she would not die until he was done with her. | |

Her attitude ends up costing Cassie her relationship with her boyfriend, which forces her into some self-reflection. | |

Break the Cutie: Tamara's interrogation from Saito. She ends up selling Amy out under the threat of having her dog killed. She feels pretty awful about it. Later still when she's given a memory wipe of the entire incident from the FCP, she wallows about depressed and confused - she knows something's wrong, but nobody else believes what she tells them and think she's still in shock. | |

Affably Evil | |
Space Boy (Webcomic) / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Langely and the FCP, for the most part. They don't see themselves as bad guys and are perfectly willing to talk things out with Amy - Langely is even pretty polite about it - but they're also okay with imprisoning juveniles and sending drones to kill people. It's hinted that they'd be more Affable and less Evil if it wasn't for He who Wander's influencing the FCP by tainting everyone's essence and bringing out the worst in them. He who Wanders begins to develop a very hip and friendly attitude towards Amy to make her feel more amicable towards him in the third arc and drops most of his cryptic prophet act. This doesn't stop him from playing with her emotions and letting her succumb to a panic attack when she refuses his help during a mental episode. This is still the same guy who tried to possess Oliver, after all. | |

He Knows Too Much | |
Space Boy (Webcomic) / int_65acf9db | comment |
He Knows Too Much: The First Contact Projec regularly deposes of anyone who learns even a little bit about Oliver or what actually happened on the Arno. Commander Saito threatens to have Amy killed if Oliver tells her any more information about him. As soon as Amy sees the RFP plugged in, the FCP begins actively trying to murder her. Ironically, they assume she knows what she does because she's a highly trained counteragent of some kind - not just, you know, a friendly person who cares about Oliver. Qiana was forced to stay at the FCP headquarters under Saito's care after she witnesses the accident that vaporized the Arno's crew. | |

No New Fashions in the Future: Averted. Some styles look similar to modern fashion, but other outfits look completely different. | |

Evil Smells Bad | |
Space Boy (Webcomic) / int_b64e1024 | comment |
Evil Smells Bad: An interesting twist: Amy's synesthesia means that for particularly evil people like Saito and Langely, she tastes poison. This is actually a sign of the Wanderer's influence over people; copper and iodine tainting someone's 'flavor' means he has some sort of hold over them. Saito had it particularly bad given how her entire flavor was overpowered. Subverted for Mr Silber from the FCP. He does the FCP's dirty work and covers up incidents, and might even play a part in 'erasing' certain people... but he has no poison in his flavor. Everything he does is completely his own choice, with no outside influence. | |

Space Boy (Webcomic) / int_b9baed0a | comment |
Lost Common Knowledge: Among the things Amy has no knowledge of: baseball, snails, windmills. When he was ten, Oliver had no idea what wood was. His father gave him a wooden case with a compass in it as a gift. He had to tell him that the case itself wasn't the present. | |

And Your Little Dog, Too!: Saito needs authorization to kill people, therefore she can't threaten people with the lives of others. Pets on the other hand... like Tammie’s puppy, not so much. | |

Never Be Hurt Again | |
Space Boy (Webcomic) / int_c7950d47 | comment |
Never Be Hurt Again: When she was just a middle schooler, Cassie was exploited and abused by a boy three years older than her. In fear of someone hurting her and the people she cared about again, she became extremely controlling in her relationships, going so far as to having problems with what her boyfriend David chose to eat in the cafeteria. This results in their breakup, which made Cassie realize that she was dealing with her trauma the wrong way. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Rather successfully averted - humans had to develop a new kind of elemental fuel to send rockets across the galaxy, and even then the trip takes decades, for which passengers must be in cryogenic stasis. | |
