* DarkerAndEdgier: The fanfic is much darker than the show it was based off, as dark topics like gore [[spoiler: and the mention of lobotomy]] pop up.

** The fic explores how Victor's ButtMonkey status affects him mentally, as he's shown to be suffering from signs of depression and emotional outbursts due to his lack of respect and finding out that [[spoiler: he was drugged for most of his life in order to repress his psychic powers.]] Eventually the stress gets to him so badly that he [[spoiler: ends up demolishing the U.Z.Z. ballroom and leaving many injured in the process.

** While expressing your emotions may be therapeutic, it's important to keep your emotions in check for everyone's wellbeing. Even though Victor has every right to be upset, its displayed that his emotional outbursts end up doing more harm than good. Especially during the [[spoiler: U.Z.Z. Spring Ball, where Victor ends up leaving many U.Z.Z. agents injured for being unable to handle his emotions in a healthy manner.]]

* MamaBear: Mildred becomes this once she hears that [[spoiler: Changed Daily and Professor Professor plan to lobotomize Victor and get rid of his psychic powers once and for all.]]

* HardTruthAesop: Even if you mean well, don't keep a life-altering revelation from the people you love, as it could damage your relationship and their trust in you. As its shown that if Mildred came clean sooner or was completely truthful regarding Victor being a [[spoiler:HybridAllAlong and hiding his psychic powers from him,]] a lot of the conflict could've been avoided.
