* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ty is really popular for being a non-binary character on top of all the other LGBT characters in the comic, and for having a really nice fashion sense.
* FanNickname: On the webcomic's page comments, Alastair is sometimes called "Allustair", a [[SdrawkcabName backwards]] allusion to Sulla's name.
* HilariousInHindsight: Al's vague resemblance to [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Soldier:76]] gets kinda funny when he's revealed to be gay.
* ItWasHisSled: Al and Brendan are a [[QueerRomance gay]] [[OfficialCouple couple]]. It's hard to tell if this was ''ever'' supposed to be a spoiler, particularly if you found this webcomic word-of-mouth after chapter 2.
* JerkassWoobie: Brendan can be harsh on Al both in the flashbacks and in the present, but he's trying hard to create a future with machines integrated into people's lives, and he had to deal with Al's death for 16 years.
* RoboShip: AL AND BRENDAN WOULD YOU JUST GET BACK TOGETHER ALREADY
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: For being considered the main character, robot!Al is hard to relate to in several instances. It's understandable why he'd be upset about being brought to life, but at the same time he doesn't suffer as much as Brendan and Sulla to explain away his actions and a lot of his anger comes from PoorCommunicationKills situations. It only takes until chapter [[spoiler:seven]] where he subverts this trope.
