The Property of Hate is a webcomic by Sarah Jolley (aka Modmad aka Fred aka Albionhands) that began publication in early 2012 and usually updates on Sundays.A young girl is suddenly awoken by a strange, dapperly dressed man who refers to himself simply as RGB. He is formal in speech and odd in the head, or in the CRT television set where his head should be. He asks her if she would like to become a hero, and though she answers with gusto, she has no idea of what will be expected of her as she leaves her home for a world in the skies.The journey across the clouds takes her to a world badly in need of a hero, where lies and fears are very real and very dangerous. The hero's courage helps her survive her first encounter with fear itself, but her very young age — and RGB's initial refusal to explain anything — make it a difficult and dangerous journey for her.Over the course of the story, Hero meets various beings both benevolent and malevolent and eventually comes to grips with the strange world she's now a part of. RGB, on his part, grapples with a past he either only vaguely remembers or isn't proud of, people whose relationships with him run gamut from affable to hostile and a world-saving quest that just isn't going right.The comic can be found on its own site here. | |

Moon Rabbit | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_107e0220 | comment |
Time's card is XVIII: The Moon, an arcana representing higher consciousness and test of ones integrity. Time himself is based off the Moon Rabbit, a mythical figure in eastern mythology, and in the story is a being who sees the past, present and future, even helping RGB and Hero by sending them to the future to find the third part of the Sun. When reversed, The Moon represents self delusion and dramatization of personal events, in addition to be caught up in one's emotions instead of trying to stay balanced. | |

Visual Pun | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_1ba8eb64 | comment |
Visual Pun: Occasionally. For instance, on page 348 Hero is (briefly) on the fence about whether to go back for RGB or stay where he wanted her to stay. She is also sitting on a literal picket fence and jumps off it as soon as she's made her decision. During "Cutting Room", after RGB tells Hero that the House of Lead has gone mad from it's own loneliness, Hero tries to reply only to be cut off with a loud sound of a cuckoo clock. RGB that it's one way of putting it. | |

Stealth Pun | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: In spades. Page 23 introduces the Lie, a cute little thing that happens to be white in colour. In other words, it's a white lie. A sleeping RGB's speech bubble is blank white - it's white noise. Chapter 9 has Julienne and Melody cut off from the rest of the group with scissors and also cut out of the story During Chapter 11: Page 192, RGB literally steals a kiss from the Black Market. He then gives it to Madras as a farewell gift. Chapter 25 has RGB's clothes cut and is fighting Hate who uses a giant pair of scissors. She clearly intends to cut his story short. "Cutting Room" has The Butterfly reveal themselves to be Anxiety, as a play on how having butterflies in your stomach is a common expression for feeling anxious and nervous. | |

Hurricane of Puns: RGB gets this mood every once in a while. For instance, here, revolving around time. Once more, with feeling. And that feeling is Belligerent Sexual Tension. And again, about RGB's missing body parts: He's spineless, he has no guts, etc. | |

Superpowered Evil Side: RGB manifests one after being knocked out by a Grief, referred to as Negative RGB. It later appears as a hallucination during the Butterfly's appearance, and later saves Hero later on in the desert. It takes until Double Exposure for Hero to be able to open up to RGB enough to mention him. | |

Bleak Level: Upon getting through the crystals, Hero and RGB make it to the place that should be a forest - only to find much widened Sandbar with bits of machinery and other bits scattered around. The House of Lead is rather bleak as well, being a monochromatic Eldritch Location that changes appearance as Hero and RGB descend further into the house. | |

Painting the Medium | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: The comic tended to do this on the occasion by having characters speak with different type of text boxes or various visual details. Characters like Melody or Click had unique nuances to their speech. The former spoke in music notes while the latter had extra tails added to his speech depending on how many of his mouths were speaking. Visual details tended to showcase how The World of Make Believe works or how it was affected by other characters. In "Double Exposure", the House of Lead's panels were formatted like a window, with the frame being smeared after RGB attempts to open the window and his panicked realization that he needed to get the door.) The House of Lead was hidden inside a folded page. Hero and RGB literally unfolded it at the beginning of the chapter to find the house. Once they actually made in into the house, the pages tended to subtly affected by the presentationnote i.e the comic panels were smudged after RGB tried to open the window, text bubbles fitted inside picture frames, a page had lines drawn to resemble a cracked mirror etc. | |

| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_5c0fc07b | comment |
There are various hints that RGB was once a human who had a job as an actor: The nightmare scenes implied that RGB was an actor who performed various stunts, but none of them seemed to be the cause of his death. In several cases, such as in Pages 313 or 513, pieces of RGB's human self such as his wrist or his neck could be seen whereas his full body was seen during Chapter 18's bait and switch intro page and then again as part of a hallucination during his fight with The Butterfly.]] | |

Chiaroscuro: Why RGB's brightening in the darkness would not help, it would only make the dark more striking. Followed by his realization of how to fix it. Chapter 17 is titled Chiaroscuro, and it begins with Hero and RGB finding the Sandbar having taken over the entire forest. | |

Cathartic Crying: Hero has a good cry in "Flood", encouraged by RGB who tells her not to keep it inside. After putting Hero to bed, when she sleepily calls him "dad", RGB who was given a heart by Madras, hides in the lower bunk to have a cry himself. | |

We Were Rehearsing a Play: When confronting Click in the Market, the locals get suspicious. RGB claims they're rehearsing for a movie and Click wants to play the villain, which prompts the locals into offering critique and distracting Click for long enough that RGB can put his plan in motion. | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_97926168 | comment |
Rewatch Bonus: Rereading the comic tends to reveal a lot of information that the reader won't notice the first time around: One of the earliest examples is during the first two chapters once Hero makes it to The World of Make Believe since there are several established details such as the Butterfly showing up whenever RGB's attention is elsewhere, or when a Fear impales RGB and drags him to the lake to force him to look at his own reflection rather than drown him as most first time readers assume. Page 305 reveals several names of the past heroes. This adds more meaning to Assok, TOby, Dial, Tinker, Tailor, Julienne and Melody's introductions. Click's entire screed against RGB in Target Audience hits very differently when the reader later learns that he was the second hero after RGB himself and that RGB left him to die due to being unable to deal with Click's path to destruction. His accusations that RGB had several victims and him asking Hero what heroes do to monsters end up having far more basis than initial impressions would have you believe when its later revealed that RGB was bringing in multiple heroes in order to delay the end of the world and Click is implied to have been quite violent as a Hero, showing no care for a Temper he trampled on and using one of its shards as a makeshift knife. The Butterfly's actions toward Hero take on a far more sinister undertone once you learn that their true identity is Anxiety, a creature who can control Doubts. Instead of being a mentor who wants Hero to become wise, they're actually trying to lead her astray by trying to convince her that RGB is untrustworthy, and blinding Hero to the truth by playing on their anxieties and doubts. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: The House of Lead -introduced in "Double Exposure"- is one to the House of Paint. Unlike the House of Paint, the House of Lead is a grim looking grey house, simplistic, cold and clinical inside in stark contrast to warm-coloured and easily warpable by Hero's imagination interiors of the House of Paint. | |

Eldritch Location: The House of Lead turns out to be this. Starting as a simple room with a window, it then leads to a hall of empty picture frames, then down several flights of stairs leading to a Hall of Mirrors shrouded in darkness when then leads to the basement which resembles a train station or a warehouse used for keeping movie set props. All of which seem to be shaped by Hero and RGB's personal feelings. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The phrase "We Split" is a phrase that showed up as early as Rushes and again during Dolly Zoom. If this official art of RGB and Negative is any indication, its likely that all of this may lead up to RGB and Negative splitting apart. During Double Exposure, if you fold page 519 similarly to the chapter intro page, the dialogue read much differently by hinting at Negative's importance in the chapter. The pictures of Hero's wall during The Hook foreshadowed the appearance of the Idea, the House of Paint and the Tempers later on. The term 'Neutral' appeared in the beginning of Click. Hero later used that term to describe RGB when Click asked her if she thought that RGB was evil. In Target Audience, it's stated that those who destroy the market will be destroyed in kind. Guess what happens to Click during "Ex Position"? The chapter ended with his remaining eye falling onto a counter, which set up the possibility that someone would pick it up... Later on, Ratfink stole Click's eye and wound up being forced to share his body with Click, who intended to find the rest of his body parts which is shown in later chapters such as "Flood" and "Double Exposure". The Butterfly being an antagonist who stole Hero's eyes after she decided to trust RGB was foreshadowed throughout the few interactions she had with Hero and when Time offhandedly mentioned that Hero would lose her eyes later on during her first meeting in him in "Inbetweens". During Hero's second encounter with the Butterfly, she showed up right after Hero bored the Idea to death and during their third, it perched itself on Hero's back and later left in a huff. In both cases, the Butterfly tried to erode Hero's trust in RGB under the guise of "being wise". Early on The Hero said that "heroes wear green", a description that fit Assok, Tinker, Dial, Toby, and RGB in Chapter 25: Arret back when he first fought Hate. During "Inbetweens", Time mentioned that stories don't care who the hero is and that they simply need a protagonist to exist. Later on in "Casting", RGB mentioned that he had been recruiting heroes to keep the story going so that the world didn't end and that he had been relying on how the story doesn't care about heroes to keep this plan afloat. During "Cut in", the Guardians decided to throw the Idea out with a remark from a market denizen that if it was a good Idea, it would float. A few pages later, the Idea became a fish and several chapters later during "Casting", the Idea had become a boat that floated above the water, which means it really was a good idea. When RGB and Hero made it to Elastic Valley, the former tried to explain to the latter about Tempers but was cut off by TG before he could explain what happened when they're not fixed. A few chapters later, RGB explained to Hero about a previous hero implied to be Click, and how he left the soldier hero to die. As it turned out Click lost his temper and was killed by a Grief. When Hero and RGB first see the end of the world, there was a drawing of a figure riding a creature similar to the Idea. A few pages later, we see The Idea turned into a boat that rode over the sea. There are various hints that RGB was once a human who had a job as an actor: The nightmare scenes implied that RGB was an actor who performed various stunts, but none of them seemed to be the cause of his death. In several cases, such as in Pages 313 or 513, pieces of RGB's human self such as his wrist or his neck could be seen whereas his full body was seen during Chapter 18's bait and switch intro page and then again as part of a hallucination during his fight with The Butterfly.]] | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: "Target Audience" can refer to RGB and Hero being Click's target audience and the market denizens being the audience who watch Click's attempted execution of RGB and his downfall after his attempts to manipulate Hero don't work. "Arret" is the French word for stop, which can either refer to RGB and Hero stopping to take a break from their adventure or RGB having been forced to stop being a Hero and recruit someone else to be the Hero in his stead. "Flood" refers to the Market flooding and the resulting evacuation and also the flood of emotions RGB feels upon realizing that Hero views him as her dad. | |

Tarot Motifs | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_bf5fc089 | comment |
Tarot Motifs: Several of them exist, and can be bought from Mod's Topataco. Hero's card is 0: The Fool, an arcana representing the beginning of a person's journey and their limitless potential. The Hero is a young girl who is the latest of RGB's heroes and whose story involves her coming to grips with the new world that awaits her with all it's ups and downs. When reversed, The Fool represents immaturity and ignorance, representing that Hero has much to learn about her world and her place within it. RGB's card is I: The Magician, an arcana representing healing and creativity. RGB is a man who often makes creative use of what he has in order to escape most situations due to his reluctance to use violence. When reversed, The Magician represents working against your creativity, and a reluctance to communicate your ideas in hopes that someone else will do it instead. Though RGB is willing to help Hero, he's deeply afraid of having to explain the reasoning behind some of his darker actions, often choosing to leave it until a later time. Madras's card II: The High Priestess, an arcana representing wisdom and a persons inner life, in addition to being a teacher for The Fool who wishes to develop their innate powers and become The Magician. Madras is implied to have some sort of relationship with RGB, and she is the one who gives Hero the House of Paint after she departs from The World of Make Believe to take part in her own story. When reversed, the High Priestess represents becoming absorbed in your own inner life to the detriment of everything else in your real life. The Market Guardians are inspired by the pillars depicted in this card (white on the left;black on the right), though they themselves don't appear in her tarot card. Dial's card is V: The Hierophant, an arcana representing a master and their role as a teacher who passes down knowledge to new students. When reversed, The Hierophant represents a self-destructive, impulsive rebellion against the long held traditions and beliefs belonging to your lineage that serve as the foundations of your life. Julienne and Melodys card is VI: The Lovers, an arcana which represents the challenges of a romantic relationship and how one must be willing to make sacrifices in order to come to a decision. Even when Hate tried to recreate them anew, they endured, and in the future RGB and Hero were sent to, they were still together. When reversed, The Lovers represents an interest in opposition, and going along the path halfheartedly and filled with unspoken resentments instead of making a decisive decision. The Train of Thought's card is VII: The Chariot, an arcana representing the heady feeling of freedom and high achievements, signifying the feeling of power as the world opens up. When reversed, The Chariot represents reluctance to take charge of your life and take responsibility for the direction your life is taking. Time's card is XVIII: The Moon, an arcana representing higher consciousness and test of ones integrity. Time himself is based off the Moon Rabbit, a mythical figure in eastern mythology, and in the story is a being who sees the past, present and future, even helping RGB and Hero by sending them to the future to find the third part of the Sun. When reversed, The Moon represents self delusion and dramatization of personal events, in addition to be caught up in one's emotions instead of trying to stay balanced. The Light is XIX: The Sun, an arcana representing the self and where one's true self can be encountered in safety without fear of negativity. Ironically in the story RGB tells Hero during "Pitch", the Sun wears a mask because the world cannot gaze upon it's face without burning to ash. When reversed, The Sun represents presenting an inauthentic facade at the cost of supressing your true self. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: From classic movies to alchemy, the author loves putting in references. Some of these were changed to generic or Public Domain references when they were put to print: Specifically, the "dream" RGB has while sleeping in the graveyard involves him being "off the mark" as a house falls around him; interestingly, Keaton himself was almost killed in this stunt, due to being slightly off the mark enough that the house broke one of his arms. At one point, to distract an Idea, Hero changes RGB's channel. The first words his TV head say are "And now for something completely different..." When she turns to another channel, one of the snippets of audio heard is "[fr]ankly, my dear, I d[on't give a damn!] " Hero in Chapter 2 sings a bit of "I'm going to Go Back There Someday" from The Muppet Movie. In the print release this changes to "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles". Time, a rabbit-like creature, says "When they catch us, they will kill us. But first, they must catch us." before he sends Hero and RGB off to the future to retrieve one of the Sun pieces. Many of RGB's color palettes are a reference to one thing or another, such as the purple coord being a reference to Paul McCartney's in Yellow Submarine or his outfit in "Wardrobe" being based on The Dress (a meme concerning an argument on whether a dress was black and blue or gold and white). | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: If you count getting shanked by a Fear, this has happened to Hero more than once. RGB got shanked by a Fear, as well, right at the start. | |

No Name Given: The Hero. Actually, she has Identity Amnesia complete with Name Amnesia. She didn't even realize it until she actually thinks about it. | |

Nightmare Face | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_cf48c17 | comment |
When RGB and Hero made it to Elastic Valley, the former tried to explain to the latter about Tempers but was cut off by TG before he could explain what happened when they're not fixed. A few chapters later, RGB explained to Hero about a previous hero implied to be Click, and how he left the soldier hero to die. As it turned out Click lost his temper and was killed by a Grief. | |

Deliberately Monochrome | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_d028ca10 | comment |
Deliberately Monochrome: RGB's nightmares are always portrayed in dark, oppressive monochrome, befitting their theme - his own death. To highlight its cold, stagnant nature, the House of Lead is portrayed in drab, dull greys in stark contrast to both RGB and Hero retaining their colours. | |

The End of the World as We Know It | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_d71d51fd | comment |
The End of the World as We Know It: The entire story is built on the premise that RGB and Hero must prevent the end of the world, with several other heroes having tried and failed to do so. Come the events of "Casting" and it seems that Hate got impatient enough to just finish it herself instead of waiting for the world to end on its own. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: Practically said word-for-word by RGB, with regards to Hero. The given reason is not that it's physically impossible to go back, but that wherever they are is something of a Fisher Kingdom and Hero now has Identity Amnesia; thus she is no longer the person she was and can't resume her old life; Time later confirms this by stating that Hero's old life (and story) ended when she became the Hero. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Several minor characters come back later, often with significant results. Magnus, who first appears as a background character, later saves Hero and RGB from Click's laser cannon. | |

| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The comic undergoes this quite a bit as the story progresses, with the first obvious noticeable example being RGB and Hero's trip to the Market. Later chapters gradually start incorporating more detailed designs that look absolutely stunning. | |

Exact Words | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: RGB once commented that nothing in the world was stronger than the trees, but once he and Hero come to the forest they planned to use for a shortcut, he comes to the sobering realization that nothing was indeed stronger and destroyed the forest wholesale. Later, he has Hero promise she won't enter the door of the House of Lead. She gets in through the window. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_f76b8969 | comment |
Anthropomorphic Personification: The Hero and RGB find themselves ailed by (non-antropomorphic and of varied levels of sentience) manifestations of such turmoils as fear and grief. One of the characters - Time - is a rabbit representing the past, present and future. He later sends Hero and RGB to the future to free one of the sun fragments from Lake Lacrimose. The Butterfly is a creature that tells Hero to be wise and in actuality is a manifestation of anxiety. | |

Downer Beginning | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_f88f2449 | comment |
Downer Beginning: Oh boy, the early chapters of the comic once the Hero makes it to the Land of Make Believe are grim. The Hero is made to deal with shadowy monsters in an unfamiliar world where everything seems so dark and dreary. It's not until she and RGB meet Assok that things begin to lighten up. | |

I Call It "Vera" | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_faf5732b | comment |
I Call It "Vera": Discussed and Deconstructed. Hero noticed that a lot of the objects lying in the Sands of Regret were vehicles, to which RGB responded by explaining this trope, namely how people will give their vehicles names and "personalities", which caused the vehicles to manifest in the realm; however, since their owners still do not consider them living beings in their own right, they never possessed the will needed to truly exist within the realm, and broke down in the Sands. It was implied that the vehicles do want to be alive, but since their owners never saw them as such, they're unfortunately doomed to break down again upon the sands. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| The Property of Hate (Webcomic) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Played with. One of RGB's dreams is of a man doing a stand-up comedy routine about a visit to the doctor. The man keeps insinuating that he might be mentally unwell, but the doctor just dismisses his claims and gives him superficial solutions (i.e. stop looking at the mirror if you hate what you see in it, stand close to the radiator if your hands are shaking). It's all but stated that this is a situation that happened to RGB when he was alive and human, so it's also played for drama. | |
