Level 30 Psychiatry is a webcomic hosted on Comic Fury that asks "Have you ever noticed how insane video game characters are?" quickly followed by "What if they had a scrap of common sense and got proffesional help?"
The titular practice is run by Dr. Gardevoir, a Gardevoir who has somehow "broken through the language barrier" to help those who have lost thier minds (or never had them in the first place) to reintergrate into society. Other main characters include Roll the head of the MM Hospital and Gardevoir's friend, Head Nurse Chansey who has to deal with the psysical problems and former galactic hero and bumbling janitor Roger Wilco.
Updates Friday/Saturday.
Tropes include:[]
- Action Bomb: As a Creeper shows us it's not alot of fun when you have a nervous disposition.
- Art Evolution: Due to increasing personel addded to the comic the style has changed a lot in the first 10 comics. For comparison here's the comic when done by the Guybrush20X6 in pencil, when done by GigaNerd17 on the lineart, text and coloring and with GigaNerd on the lineart, TheMightyBox doing the colouring and Guybrush20X6 on the text.
- Big Screwed-Up Family: Solid Snake and his family have issues to say the least.
- Bound and Gagged: A Cofagricus pulls an accidental version of this on Gardevoir
- Butt Monkey: Roger Wilco. In his second appearance he is killed by a Witch. Gardevoir's lines indicate it's not the first time this sort of thing has happened.
- Culture Clash: Duke Nukem doesn't really get Pokemon battles.
- Freudian Couch
- Fourth Wall Mail Slot: Dr. Gardevoir has a Comic Fury account and can be messaged at her link. (Comic Fury account required.)
- Have a Nice Death: Even if he's not the main character Roger Wilco gets snark from a text box when he dies.
- High-Pressure Blood: Roger Wilco, after the aforementioned death.
- Inkblot Test: Done with Eggman who mostly sees his foes in pain.
- "Jump Off a Bridge" Rebuttal: Gardevoir tries this on the Sniper and it backfires.
Glasses Gardevoir: Has that cliff jumping question ever worked? |
- Lightning Can Do Anything: Invoked and Subverted. Gardevoir and Roll try it to cure Gardevoir's Hollywood Schizophrenia but all it does is make Gardevoir's hair stand on end.
- Motor Mouth: Ellis, to the point that Gardevoir charges an extra $30 an hour for him.
- Mythology Gag: Roll being in charge of the Hospital is a reference to the instruction manual of Tatsunokovs Capcom which stated Roll's dream was to one day open a hospital.
- Opening Narration: The first comic has a narration which explains the background and premise that turns out to be Roll reading aloud a flyer for the titular business.
- Pokémon-Speak: Averted by Gardevoir who speaks plain English and played straight, though translated, by every other Pokemon.
- Real Is Brown: Referenced in the Alt Text of "Another Side: Wait, what?":
"Apparently, hallucinations have the same color palette as third person shooters." |
- Robot Girl: Roll, and she's a Ridiculously Human Robot to boot.
- Rocket Jump: Unfortunately for the Soldier, Reality Ensued.
Gardevoir: Why didn't you just use the stairs? |
- Seen It All: Chansey's reaction to some of gaming's more bizzare status effects indicates this though defied my her opening Internal Monologue.
"If you think you've seen it all, you've underestimated people's ability to find new ways to hurt themselves". |
- Silent Protagonist: Link shows us how difficult this makes psychiatry.
- Species Surname: Dr. Gardevoir appears to be this, under typical naming conventions.
- Last-Name Basis: If this is the case.
- Gardevoir's last name was once considered to be Sirknight, which is Gardevoir's name in Japan.
- Split Personality: Gardevoir has one in a mini-arc, Another Side. It seems the other side of her personality, Glasses Gardevoir, is an embodiment of her more collected and "want to be a better doctor" side, as the she is always level-headed and examining Gardevoir's problems. Gardevoir is the only one who can see or hear her.
- Standard Status Conditions: Chansey has to deal with some pretty unstandard conditions.
Luigi: (Holding Mario who has been turned into a scarecrow) My brother was-a struck by the trippiest status condition in the world! |
- Talking Pokemon: Dr. Gardevoir
- Talking to Themself: Gardevoir.
- There Are No Therapists: Averting this is the basic premise but played weirdly for Gardevoir herself. She tries giving herself therapy and it backfires.
- They Killed Kenny Again: Take Wilco's penchant for getting killed, add some 1-up mushrooms and you've got this trope.
Gardevoir: The worst part is, when Roger comes back to life, he'l have to mop up his own shredded remains. |
- Trauma Inn: Referenced in the tagline.
Because not all problems can be solved by sleeping at an inn. |
- You Gotta Have Green Hair: Mocked by the Scout, taking no notice of his tower of ludicrous hats.
