* TheGhost: Creator/HPLovecraft is in the narrative, having asked Howard's editor for his address so the two writers might correspond. Howard geeks out about this. Lovecraft never physically appears, and only one line of one of his letters is read for the audience. Justified, as Howard lived in Texas and Lovecraft in Rhode Island - neither were the type to travel extensively and in fact they never met in person.

* LonersAreFreaks: This is the point which Novalyne makes, when she tries to convince Howard that he should work on his social life and stop being so misanthropic. Howard rejects this, seeing little of worth in Cross Plains and believing ([[JerkassHasAPoint with much justification]]) that his writing career offers him an alternative to boring manual labor. Unsurprisingly, Novalyne is one of the few residents of Cross Plains who isn't (entirely) put off by him.
* LongingForFictionland: Throughout the narrative, Howard makes no attempt to hide the fact that he finds the real world insufferably dull, and lives more in the fantastic worlds of his stories.
* MagnificentMoustachesOfMexico: Howard seems to have a thing for Mexican sombreros, and at one point grows a large moustache to complete the look.
* ManChild: Howard, albeit a more charming example than standard for this trope. In one scene, all the same, a deeply frustrated Novalyne [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls him out]] for making almost no effort to live in the real world.
* MostWritersAreMale: Howard's fiction is presented as not targeted at female audiences.

* MyBelovedSmother: Howard and his mum. Aside from his slavish devotion to her, there's some implication that she deliberately tried to keep Novalyne away from him. The film also portrays Robert, as in real life, as one of her only two caretakers, showing that he's been doing this for too long, the responsibility constantly on his mind. He probably had [[https://caregiver.com/articles/caregiver-stress-syndrome/ caregiver stress syndrome]], which can affect one's ability to think rationally and likely contributed to his suicide.
