* CrackPairing: Calvin x Sebastian, Shinwa x Maleria, Nico x Manwar... The list doesn't have an end.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: The witchdoctor Matlal basically stole the show for the 2009 Omen Islands Plot with his [[NoIndoorVoice all-caps posts]] and sexual innuendo. His involvement and backstory in the 2016 plot, as well as his HiddenDepths, made him even more popular.
* FandomRivalry: Subeta vs. ''Website/{{Neopets}}''.
* HoYay: Plenty. Given that Keith Kurson is openly gay, and there are no objections against sexuality, it's natural.
* LGBTFanbase: Since the creator himself is gay, it isn't surprising to find that there are canon LGBT characters, as well as users. Users can even show it off with the Pride items.
* NauseaFuel: There are ''many'' disgusting food items that involve body parts and fluids, and yes, they can still be fed to your pets.
* NightmareFuel: The Graveyard, Experiment, and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Nightmare]] pets. Most of the zombie skins as well, [[BodyHorror especially some of the stages they involve]].
* ParanoiaFuel: The Great Pandemic in 2009 had a lot of this. Anyone could be infected with a virus that would gradually turn them into a zombie, and an [=NPC=] claimed he had a cure, only for it to be a scam. This died down after the real cure was made by someone else. At least until the next year, when new viruses came and they had to wait for a new cure. 2013 saw the end of this, and 2015 brought in the Volunteer Infection Program where people could willingly get infected with a virus. The disease theme was also gradually phased out and replaced with the stages showing the transformations caused by different things ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation though they're still referred to as infections and still involve biting from other users]]).
** The 2015 plot was started off with users getting a random event where they would feel as if someone was watching them. Then their avatars would gradually lose colour until they turned completely grey.
** Trying to buy an item from Blackheart Hollow can also make you paranoid. There could be an item there, right now, and by the time you go to check, someone else has already grabbed it.
* ScrappyMechanic:
** Most of the places in the Underground used to only be accessible to zombies. Users can only become zombies during the Survival yearly event, and up until 2015 (when they became skins that could be unlocked and worn at any time), would have to remain that way (therefore limiting their avatar customizations) if they wanted to keep their access. This was not helped by 2013, when there was no way to become a zombie that year, or 2014, where the infections were only temporary. Since then, most of the Underground has become accessible to anyone, however, the Alcove still only allows zombies, so if you want to make anything there yourself to raise your level (as opposed to having another user make the items for you) and you don't have any zombie skins, then you're out of luck until next Survival.
** The Bhakoru can only be created by people who took part in and reached a certain point of the 2011 plot. Anyone else will either have to ask another user to make one for them, or turn an existing pet into a Notalgic Bhakoru which requires Essence of Melody, an item that can only be obtained for free during Luminaire and from the [[MoneySink Millionaire Centre]] the rest of the year. Since the plot was over 9 years ago, many users have asked if there could be a way for other users to create one, especially since it was apparently going to be made more available eventually but never has.
* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: The online community can be very friendly, and a lot of the content involving various items and [=NPC=]s can be quite nice, and has only improved over the last few years.
* ThatOneAchievement: Loads. There's achievements for deleting 1000 pumpkins ''one by one'', releasing 1000 Snow Fairies (again, one by one), having 15,000 items in your wardrobe (be prepared to fill it with items you'll never use), [[LuckBasedMission getting to the end of the Crypts or Ice Fields]], buying an item from Blackheart Hollow (Which is near-impossible if you're not trying, and you can be limited even if you do try), owning every item in Subeautique sets, owning pets in specific colours which are harder to get than others... and many more.
