---

This work contains examples of:

• Butt-Monkey:
  • Lilith is not treated kindly by the narrator any of the other characters.
  • Hooty suffers some painful misfortune every time he is mentioned.
• Canon Character All Along: The waiter is abruptly revealed to have been Mattholomule the whole time — despite no prior indication that this was the case — simply because the author got tired of referring to the waiter by his title.
• Cool and Unusual Punishment: Odalia is sentenced to work in a glue factory for tax evasion, though she hates it so much she may as well have been in prison.
• Crack Fic: Aside from the swearing and other family unfriendly content, the characters are out-of-character to various levels and the author even makes several obvious in-jokes.
• Creepy Twins: Edric and Emira are portrayed as being these, especially in chapter three in which they are implied to both be a Humanoid Abomination.
• Cringe Comedy: Luz and Amity's disastrous first date, during which Luz commits several social faux pas trying to impress Amity.

• Exactly What It Says on the Tin
• Flower Mouth: Edric's mouth is described as opening like a flower in bloom as he prepares to unleash his reality-breaking scream.
• Freudian Slip: Amity multiple times after speaking with Luz in chapter one. The narration mocks her for it.
• Humanoid Abomination: Edric and Emira are able to freely regenerate, pass through solid matter, warp reality, and use Haki. In chapter three, Edric evaporates and "precipitates elsewhere" and Emira is mentioned to have ichor running through her veins.

• I Ate WHAT?!: Luz urinates in Lilith's drinks while she isn't looking in chapter one and two. Lilith is enraged when she finds out.

• Poverty Food: The story opens with an impoverished Luz, Eda, Lilith, and King eating lunch consisting of things such as croutons, uncooked cup ramen, and in King's case, his own feces. All of it is Played for Laughs.

• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Amity, of all people, gives Luz one for her behaviour on their date.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: Parodied, the narration goes into great detail to describe how Amity sees Luz's outfit for their date and how beautiful she thinks she is. The narration quickly reveals Luz is wearing an ahegao hoodie.
• Shout-Out:
  • Several to Jojos Bizarre Adventure. Luz mostly plagiarizes a monologue Dio gives to Polnareff to convince Eda to let her run her stand. The fic includes edited panels from the manga that show Luz urinating into Lilith's tea while Eda and King watch in the same way that Abbacchio does to Giorno, as well as a comic of Luz and Amity recreating the famous "Jotaro and DIO walking" meme. Amity's Abomination is referred to as her Stand at one point, and epilogue teases a sequel titled Stardust Crusaders.
