Line 16:
** Although, that's probably because they're Aborigine.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Cyril...
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Petunia's older brother {{spoiler|Elijah}} has this. He showered compliments down on her and has called her "honeycake chocolate pie" with complete seriousness. When he thought that Cyril {{spoiler|the streetcar operator}} had done something to her, he became enraged and shouted that he would "[[Precision F -Strike|fucking]] cut that son of a bitch." He appears to be shaping up to be a [[Knight Templar Big Brother]] pretty quickly.
** But then again, {{spoiler|chapter 5 hints that he may be some sort of [[Subverted Trope|subversion]] as he didn't seem to care too much when he found out that Petunia was in a room with an armed man. Meredith may play it more straight as he ''does'' seem to care.}}
* [[Bishonen]]: [[Long Haired Pretty Boy|Meredith.]] ''[[Viewer Gender Confusion|Indeed.]]''
Line 31:
* [[Foe Yay]]: Todd and Cyril. See on YMMV for more.
** For that matter also Cyril and Petunia. Hell, Cyril and ''everybody''.
* [[Full -Name Basis]]: Petunia nearly always refers to Todd by his full name. Heck, nearly everyone does.
* [[Genteel Interbellum Setting]]
* [[Handsome Devil]]. Cyril, oh yes. Lampshaded by Hana.
Line 47:
* [[Sharp Dressed Man|Sharp Dressed Men]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: Todd and Petunia. She seems to be the only person he can be genuinely nice to at times, and he has shown that he cares for her a great deal. He has shown concern over the thought that Cyril would break Petunia's heart, even if this was fueled by someone else's assertions. He even puts an arm around her at one point, to comfort her after she {{spoiler|lost her job.}} It's a big thing for [[Jerkass|Todd]]. [[Shrinking Violet|Petunia]], for her part, has gone into a violent rage at the thought of anything bad happening to Todd. It may very well be her only [[Berserk Button]].
** And then there's {{spoiler|Cyril}}, who has shown quite a bit of interest in Petunia - even moreso than he has in his usual flirtations with everyone else. Landon stated with complete seriousness that {{spoiler|Cyril}} likes and thinks highly of Petunia. In the extra page at the end of chapter 7, {{spoiler|Cyril even refers to her as ''Lady'' Petunia while talking to someone else. In contrast, [[Green -Eyed Monster|he calls Todd Petunia's "pumpkin-headed boyfriend."]]}} His interest in her may have to do with {{spoiler|the [[Hidden Depths]] she showed in chapter 5.}} Petunia, on the other hand, just seems to fear him.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: [[Meaningful Name|Petunia]] appears to be this.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: {{spoiler|Elijah}} shows off a fantastic one on page 20 of chapter 4, while talking about how fun it is to watch people [[Ax Crazy|squirm in pain]] [[Soft Spoken Sadist|as they slowly bleed to death.]]
** Also Cyril the sociopathic {{spoiler|streetcar operator/mercenary}} loves to wear these.
* [[Take My Hand]]: {{spoiler|Todd and Petunia. Although they both end up falling.}}
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Todd Allison.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Todd and Clancey's coworkers in the Violet case investigation are all named after famed philosophers: Locke, Rousseau, Hobbes, and Bentham.
* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior]]: Todd Allison {{spoiler|coming to terms with death at nine years old}}.
