Line 8:
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Day in
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: The Control Brains, though ''what'' exactly is wrong with them is still unknown.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Played with. Since Dib tends to come and go out of the plot, [[Word of God]] confirmed he would keep making appearances "until either the fic ends or he dies, whichever comes first." She then admitted she phrased it this way [[For the Evulz|just to mess with people]], but didn't rule out the idea of killing anyone off.
Line 16:
* [[Crossover]]: [[Word of God]] confirms that Agent Toadstool/"Uncle Denny" and Agent Gourdy are from other fandoms (though this does little to affect the plot). The former is probably {{spoiler|Denzel Crocker}} from ''{{spoiler|[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]}}.''
* [[Dead Fic]]: We hope not.
* [[Death
* [[Deconstruction]]: Of the Irkens' imperial actions, the height system and other aspects never explored in-depth in the series.
** [[Reconstruction]]: Ckret2 has commented that she decided to write a male-pregnancy story specifically because she'd never seen one done well before and wanted to see if she could pull it off.
Line 50:
* [[Out of Character]]: Shockingly [[Averted Trope|averted]] to a large degree, though many have their characters expanded from the canon. Purple seems more competent than one usually sees in fanfictions, but this seems to be the author responding to his usual [[Flanderization]] into a helpless moron.
* [[Sex Equals Love]]: Either [[Averted Trope|averted]] or just taking place ''really'' slowly, depending on how you look at it.
* [[Strangled
* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: Mostly [[Averted Trope|averted]], as Zim's pregnancies seem to make as much sense as a [[Mister Seahorse]] slash situation can. For example, because Zim and Purple both have XY chromosomes and at least one X is necessary for life, about a quarter of their eggs are stillborn.
* [[You Fail Statistics Forever]]: Purple mentally [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] how he and Zim could never make a real difference in the demographic problem but goes ahead with his plan anyway.
