* VicePresidentWho: ZigzaggingTrope. During the Schlatt administration, Quackity had little to no actual political power and his main role in the cabinet was to "[[MrFanservice have a fat ass]]". This is due to Schlatt's desire to consolidate power onto himself and himself alone, which he lampshades before his resignation, and Wilbur even calls his position "pointless" ''in a conversation with him'' before the Festival. The constant disrespect played a big part in him defecting from Manberg, and even now he hates being told what he can and cannot do. Under the Tubbo administration, Quackity regains his role as VP after Tommy's exile, and wields a ''lot'' more political power than he did in the previous cabinet, being able to assemble and unofficially lead the Butcher Army.

It is heavily implied that Wilbur saw himself in Quackity, then a NaiveNewcomer, during the elections, and therefore advised him that becoming a WellIntentionedExtremist was the only way to gain power to [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans truly help the people around them]], because he didn't want [[BreakTheCutie history to repeat itself]]; and Quackity's message to Wilbur after the latter's passing indicates that he is consciously deciding to follow in Wilbur's footsteps.

In a lore stream in late May 2021, Wilbur goes as far as to claim that he and Quackity were like ''yin and yang'', which goes to show that Wilbur as a character believes that they are {{foil}}s to each other. However, Quackity ''does'' actively carry out 'violence over diplomacy' thing unlike Wilbur, who just talked the talk but never quite walked the walk (the explosion of Manburg/L'Manburg was not designed to kill anyone but himself, for one); and though both characters' spirals stemmed from trauma, Wilbur's struggle is more closely related to a fear of failure and what contemporaries call "gifted kid burnout", while Quackity's likely stems from relationship trauma, a fear of abandonment and being forgotten, and a desire for a sense of belonging.

* TraumaCongaLine: Went through one that ironically began on what should have been start of only good things for him. Quackity had accomplished his goal of winning the L'Manburg Election, but he was only able to do so by teaming up with Schlatt. That one action ended up up costing him any influence he would've had as {{Vice President|Who}} and started this chain of misfortunate events. During his entire tenure, Quackity was powerless and abused by his fiancé, was forced to watch Tubbo be executed right in front of him, saw a build that meant so much to him torn down without remorse and was mocked for caring about it, fought in a war and failed to stop his friend Wilbur from blowing up L'Manburg, and shortly afterward, Wilbur would lose his final life. In the following two seasons, he was unable to prevent Dream from pressuring Tubbo into exiling his friend Tommy, failed to kill Technoblade and instead got killed by him, was powerless to defend New L'Manberg from Dream, Technoblade, and Philza during the Doomsday War, watched his good friend [=BadBoyHalo=] get corrupted by a supernatural force, would lose another friend when Tommy was killed by Dream in prison, and was seemingly abandoned by his best friend and fiancés -- the only three people he felt like he could trust and one of the few positive aspects of his life. The first episode "Las Nevadas" even lampshades how awful Quackity's life has been since that fateful day by playing audio of what sounds like Schlatt and Quackity making their deal during the election over a cynical take on the quote "May the best day of your past be the ''worst day'' of your future".

This is due to Schlatt's desire to consolidate power onto himself and himself alone, which he lampshades before his resignation, and Wilbur even calls his position "pointless" ''in a conversation with him'' before the Festival. The constant disrespect played a big part in him defecting from Manberg, and even now he hates being told what he can and cannot do. Under the Tubbo administration, Quackity regains his role as VP after Tommy's exile, and wields a ''lot'' more political power than he did in the previous cabinet, being able to assemble and unofficially lead the Butcher Army.

** To Dream. Both men are very manipulative and good at controlling arguments, with Quackity often being able to keep up Dream in verbal confrontations. Though when it comes to actual fights Dream is leagues better. Both aren't afraid of doing horrible things to get what they want, such as Dream threatening to kill Tubbo in order to control Tommy and eventually killing Tommy to prove he can revive the dead, and Quackity torturing Dream for the knowledge on how to resurrect people. At the same time, like Dream, Quackity isn't afraid to manipulate those close to him, he's easily able to put aside personal feelings when it comes to business as shown when he manipulated Awesamdude by striking at his guilt over Tommy's death, and later with him targeting Fundy's insecurities to convince him to join Las Nevadas. However, Dream believes that force is the ultimate method to controlling the server, while Quackity relies much more on forcing people into relying on him; Dream was once attached to his friends, but ultimately cuts off the attachments in order to keep himself from being controlled, while Quackity openly cares for his friends and gets easily attached to his builds, and is deeply sentimental even when hiding it. Morever, in terms of manipulation itself, Dream more often than not does it ForTheEvulz and outright lies many times, while Quackity genuinely believes in the beliefs he speaks of, especially in the Las Nevadas arc, and is heavily implied to be projecting his own trauma and insecurities through it. Interestingly, they also both are associated with smiley-face emoticons, albeit slightly different ones (":]" for Quackity, ":)" for Dream).

The aforementioned server members include two Presidents/fellow politicians, the guy that gave him PTSD before he joined the SMP (admittedly, that's because his stream chat told him to), the SMP's current monarch (albeit in a dubiously-canon way), and his currently (estranged) fiancés.

* ReallyGetsAround: By Dream SMP standards, to the point it's outright joked by the content creators on stream that he was "a hoe" on more than one occasion. The main reason for this is because his character arc, unlike others', is heavily entwined with his interpersonal relationships, which are oftentimes romantic in nature.

* BreakTheCutie: He started out as an aspiring, idealistic politician who believed that RousseauWasRight and preferred words to weapons, but ends up jaded to the point of [[TookALevelInCynic having many of his beliefs turned around entirely]] after going through a trainwreck of a TraumaCongaLine rife with abuse and abandonment.

* TilMurderDoUsPart: A variation, as he was technically engaged and not married to Schlatt, but it is all but outright stated that he broke off the relationship by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lXuZvCQXLg&t=1434s shooting Schlatt with a bow after an argument]], taking Schlatt's second canon life. It also crosses over with MistreatmentInducedBetrayal, as mentioned above.

* LoveMartyr: A non-traditional example which is ultimately ''triple''-{{subverted|Trope}} -- non-traditional because Quackity's (thankfully now past) relationship with Schlatt was heavily entwined with politics, and because his personality is more boisterous than the classic version of the trope. \\
In the aftermath of Schlatt's inauguration, Quackity revealed in a private monologue that he thought Schlatt's actions during the inauguration (e.g. exiling the opposition) was going too far, but he wanted to stay and be the "voice of reason" to the cabinet Schlatt ran, in an attempt to do some good for the country. His stay only results in him being subjected to a nasty heaping of abuse and trauma and leaves him heavily disillusioned, ending with him outright assassinating Schlatt and fleeing into the woods. \\
He briefly considers returning to Manburg ''even after that'', but [[ForWantOfANail his contemplation is interrupted with Tommy confronting him (after eavesdropping on the whole fight)]] and recruiting him to join Pogtopia... and while he does a HeelFaceTurn in the process, [[TookALevelInCynic his idealism had essentially already been stomped out by that point]].

It's unknown if these are actually part of his body like Philza's wings or if he somehow got his hands on an [[NotQuiteFlight Elytra]] or a similar tool, given how The End is inaccessible in the Dream SMP. In [[Fanon/DreamSMP fan interpretations]], though, he is sometimes [[AdaptationSpeciesChange depicted as one]].
