- Accidental Innuendo: Loads and loads.
- Alas, Poor Scrappy: Bella's death to Twilight haters, even though she's The Woobie here.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: The main characters themselves- are they truly the heroes who are saving Hogwarts from Dumbledore, or are they Villain Protagonists who are merely using as a cover so they can inflict sadistic Body Horror without any punishment since they're the "good guys?"
- Angst? What Angst?: Professor Skellington's reaction to finding Snape and Bella's corpses? "Now we will need a new teacher again."
- Best Known for the Fanservice: When this fic is discussed, the sex scene early on always comes up.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Jack's bisexuality moment comes out of nowhere and is never referenced again.
- Jack suggests making Edward the new potion-making teacher after the infamous deaths of Snape and Bella. This is never brought up again.
- In Chapter 9, the chapter illustration is a screencap from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It has nothing to do with the chapter at all.
- In Chapter 13, Link turns on the television and completely breaks from the plot to mock a DeviantArt user who is placed in the Special Olympics in this story and insulted as "a boy/little girl tansvesite THING on the Telly and it had greasy barack hair and a butt chin and was ugly and clearly the most retarded of them all."
- Bile Fascination: Being this is an attempt to create the worst piece of Fan Fiction ever, this was expected.
- Canon Defilement: Loads and loads.
- Designated Hero: The main characters kill Bella because she is being raped by Snape, for starters.
- Designated Villain: Hagrid doesn't do anything in the story and still suffers a Cruel and Unusual Death. Also, Bella, while not necessarily a "villain" in the story, is still antagonized when she is a rape victim.
- Die for Our Ship: Bella, which is a given in any Edward x Author Avatar story, even though Dally ends up with Hiei anyway.
- Draco in Leather Pants: Draco himself and Shadow, who are nothing like their canon selves.
- Fridge Horror: In The Twilight Saga, vampires had to eat humans to gain red eyes. Dally has bright scarlet eyes in every drawing of her. How does she keep them that bright of a red?
- Ham and Cheese: Especially later on.
- Les Yay:
- Dally was at a lost for words. She was a virgin and did not know about dicks and it was her first time having a penis.
- Memetic Mutation: On the Face The Strange forum, quite a few people have "tumors" in their username, especially relating to Edward.
- The vast majority of the Rouge Angles of Satin and Narmy quotes became memetic on the forums, and to a lesser extent on some other sites.
- Moral Event Horizon: Any chance of liking Dally is squashed by this little bit:
- She wanted him to come back and see treason, because she saw from the way Bella’s eyes were gourged out that she did not know, but then she remembered Bella was a cunt and told Edward, “I think we should kill them both…”
- Nausea Fuel: Loads and loads.
- No Yay: Among Dally's "dream cast" in the Maury portion is Shadow. It's never clarified whether it's her son or the hedgehog, but considering the latter was Killed Off for Real...
- Quirky Work: Especially the chapters after they leave Hogwarts onward.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: This is one of those rare stories where you actually will be rooting for and pitying Bella Swan, no matter what you think of her in The Twilight Saga.
- Romantic Plot Tumor: The normal "kill Dumbledore" plot is crummy enough, but the Love Triangle involving Dally, Hiei, and Edward (and later Bill, too) grabs the fic and drags it as far down as possible.
- Rooting for the Empire: Granted, the villains aren't the most moral, but somehow they're less monstrous than the "good guys." It's really picking the lesser of two evils- the Dirty Old Man who tried to (and failed to) rape a handful of boys, or a group of people who murdered quite few characters and gave one of the most sadistic Groin Attacks in the history of fanfiction?
- The Scrappy: Although everyone in the story is hated to a certain extent, Dally takes the cake. Even her offspring is given a little forgiveness due to pointblank being called a "hellspawn" in the story.
- Squick: Loads and loads.
- Strawman Has a Point: When Bella's introduced, she's giving a speech about how teen pregnancy is "illegal." If you take "illegal" to mean "not a good thing," she has a point - especially when Delly winds up on the Maury show at the end of the story.
- Wangst: We're expected to pity Dally, even though most of what she views as "misfortunes" are actually her being a selfish little man-hogger.
- Dally started to cry… why was he being so mean to her? She thought.
- Duh, I don't know, maybe because you keep trying to seduce him and claim he's yours only to cockblock him?
- The Woobie: Bella, of all people. She loses Edward to Dally, who flops between him and Hiei. She has fingers pointed at her for being mad at Edward for liking Dally, but no one has problems with Dally going back and forth between guys. Then, she's kidnapped by Snape, raped, and she dies. The biggest kick of all? After all that, Dally chooses Hiei anyway, making Bella's loss meaningless.
- She thought Snape was Edward, so the fic tries to make Bella look bad for enjoying being screwed by another guy even though she was blinded and had no clue what was happening. Oh, but if Dally goes to Hiei over Edward or vice versa? She's still a perfect little angel!
- Hagrid, to a lesser extent, if only for his Cruel and Unusual Death, especially since he's never shown to actually be helping Dumbledore in raping and is only noted to be his sex partner.
