Line 11:
* [[All Lowercase Letters]]: The title.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Taylor.
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Nolan. He ''says'' he's just dating {{spoiler|Akira}} [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|to make him happy]] and have a friend, but it's not clear how much he means it.
* [[Arc Words]]: "That's it for the day. Well... as far as classes go, anyway."
* [[Author Appeal]]: The reason for [[Cast Full of Gay]]
** [[The Rant]]: And be prepared to hear plenty of reasons why high school English is awful.
* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: And his name is Mr. Rook. As it turns out, {{spoiler|everyone figures but nobody really cares}}.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Akira's mom posts on AmieConnect on the topic of {{spoiler|his coming out}} in Japanese. {{spoiler|It roughly translates to "It's about time you did lololol"}}
Line 20:
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: {{spoiler|The bizarre concept about privacy. Not to mention their sense of humor...}}
* [[Book Dumb]]: Most of the class is doing pretty badly in John's class, and it's probably not all due to his inexperience and the frequent distractions from his actual job. {{spoiler|It doesn't matter anyway, because in the end the school imposes a ridiculously generous grading curve to maintain their reputation}}.
* [[Brain Bleach]]: John's normal reaction to thinking about his students having sex.
* [[Brand X]]: AmieConnect is totally not Facebook, and 12channel is totally not 4chan (and not 12chan either, you perv)! Amusingly, {{spoiler|the former "real thing" is referred to by name towards the end, and the Internet equivalent of a [[Collective Groan]] occurs when an (old at the time of the game's publication, much more so by ''2027'') [[Interrupting Meme]] from the latter appears in its equivalent}}.
** Almost averted by virtue of [[Did Not Do the Research]] in some cases.
Line 48:
* [[It's All About Me]]: Taylor.
{{quote|'''Nolan''': She really is that retarded about other people's feelings.}}
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Rooks rants to {{spoiler|Taylor}} about how much of a [[ClicheCliché]] she's being.
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: The literature discussions and 12channel threads relate to the story. For bonus points, one of the first discussions is about the use of [[Show Within a Show]] in the [[Show Within a Show|Book Within A Show]].
** Subverted in the case of {{spoiler|Isabella, where the discussion of [[Battle Royale]] sets a [[Red Herring|very misleading tone]]}}.
Line 78:
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Arianna. Ok, not dangerous, but pretty annoying.
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Rooks.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The students and 12channers do not necessarily type with perfect grammar.
* [[Teacher-Student Romance]]: You can have a fairly platonic one with Arianna or you can dive right into it and make out with her {{spoiler|but never more}} in chapter one.
* [[Title Drop]]: During dialogue between Rook and {{spoiler|Isabella}} in one of the endings.
