Tropes used in Astral Journey: It's Complicated include:

• Actually Pretty Funny : Emma found Paul's joke funny despite being scolded for saying it.
  • Noodle Incident: The kind of joke is something to do with Snow White and X-Men.
• Annoying Patient: Downplayed version when it came to Geri, who keeps seeking out. All she just want is to see how Emma was doing.
  • Melanie, on the other hand, tries to escape as she refuse to accept that she has an issue.
• Astral Projection: Emma gains this ability.
  • An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost: Happens to Melanie
  • Convulsive Seizures: Emma has these as a side-effect. She's given medicine to control them. Luckily, she was given a tracheotomy.
• Badass Normal: Pretty much… everyone has at least one.
  • Badass Abnormal: Emma gets extrasensory perception.
• Bandage Babe: Thanks to her injuries, Emma fits this... later so does Melanie. Brandy's arm is also on the mend, while Geri is left with some burns and a broken leg. This makes it subverted because of that!
  • Bandaged Face: Downplayed, as it's only Emma's left eye that gets this for some time.
• Bungled Suicide: Emma notices that Victoria had cuts on her wrist… leading to this conclusion.
• Convenient Coma: Emma spreads two weeks in a coma, yet struggles upon waking up.
• Crazy Enough to Work: Melanie is placed in a wheelchair after her second escape attempt ended in disaster, but she's locked up in one. Considering she was admitted for an eating disorder that she refused to get treated, it's had to be that bad.
• Darker and Edgier: Detail to Emma’s injuries, witnessing a friend being given a powerful electric shock. The video clip that Emma talks about could give some a clue.
  • Blood From the Mouth: Both Emma and Alanis suffers this one, they get better though.
  • Eye Scream: One of Emma's injuries
• Hollywood Heart Attack: Victoria has this off-screen, while Melanie has two of them.

  • Ambiguous Disorder
• Hurt-Comfort Fic
• Idiot Ball: Getting a poll that’s still electrified… pretty stupid.
• Major Injury Underreaction: A broken arm isn't going to stop Brandy from saving her friends.
• Mundane Luxury: Emma drinks a cup of water rather fast. Considering she had her jaws wired, she considers it a welcome change. She also wishes to eat some Spaghetti rings.
  • Obligatory Swearing: Geri says fucking, which Emma finds it a relief.
• No Name Given: Emma is never mentioned, as she's the narrator.
• Not Quite Dead: Emma, Geri, and Brandy to a degree all get hit by a out-of-control car, which hits a lighting pole... creating a powerful discharge.
  • Back From the Dead: Emma learned that she flat-lined while being taken to the A&E.
• Cool Old Guy: Nick meets this.
• Plucky Girl: Emma doesn't let the pain stop her.
  • Heroic RROD: She often pushes herself so far that her body gives out at times.
• Sick Episode: Emma is in the hospital thanks to what happened. Same goes with Victoria and Melanie.
