Line 7:
* '''Subverted''': Tim realizes he has emotions, but acts like he doesn't hoping for sympathy.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Or at least that's what his friends think.
* '''Parodied''': Tim becomes a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] because of his lack of emotions and then sees himself crying in a shard of glass and becomes [[The Pollyanna]]
* '''Deconstructed''': The reason Tim claims to have no emotions is because he has [[Where I Was Born and Razed|comitted horrible deeds in the past]], and if he is emotionless he cannot feel crippling guilt over it.
** Tim wants to be [[The Sociopath|a Sociopath]].
Line 16:
* '''Lampshaded''': "How long do you think it'll be before Tim figures out he can feel?"
* '''Invoked''': Tim decides to claim he has no emotions, as he is very [[No Social Skills|socially awkward]] and wants a good excuse should he say something stupid or offensive by accident.
* '''Exploited''': [[Big Bad|Sally]] does [[Cold -Blooded Torture|horrible things]] to Tim, while claiming that because he has no emotions, he shouldn't mind. Tim's denial breaks down, [[Break the Cutie|along with his mind]].
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
