These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Evil is Cool: Between the Night on Bald Mountain and Ave Maria sections, representing in turn the profane and the sacred. Take a guess which one has burned itself into people's memories the most.

Unfortunate Implications: Sunflower, the servant centaurette in "The Pastoral Symphony", whose human half looks like a black "pickaninny" and who performs menial tasks for the white-featured centaurettes.
