Line 62:
* [[Running Gag]]: Remarks about Ferdinand being very skinny, pale, bony, skeletal, looking like he has tuberculosis, looking like he has AIDS, and so on. To his face. It eventually becomes [[Never Heard That One Before]].
* [[Screw You, Elves]]: Though John takes a long time to acknowledge Edofine as an Elf, he does repeatedly insult Edofine's apparent sissiness.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Selene's brother is a ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fan, Taylor and her friends are fond of both ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' and ''[[Firefly]]''.
* [[Spock Speak]]: Edofine and most other Elves speak this way, since Elvish apparently doesn't have contractions and they thus dislike using them in English (since their magic is bound up in language, only half and full Elves are permitted to learn Elvish, meaning English is a lingua franca among the North American population). More humanized Elves like Edofine's cousin Kryvek have a more [[Sophisticated As Hell]] speaking style: "Way to be sanctimonious, kid."
* [[Teenage Wasteland]]: Ty, Art, and Joy survive The Famine Fever, a strange disease that causes much milder symptoms in adolescents than in other age groups. Their home country, Canyonar, eventually is populated entirely by teenagers [[Chekhov's Gun|who now have personal immunity to it but still carry the disease]].
