* SmartGuy: Compared to Clive and Liv (both of whom are by no means unintelligent) he has been shown to notice things they would not. Once more, he is scientifically savvy enough to successfully develop a Zombie cure, without the use of high tech equipment or funding for research, largely doing so in his spare time.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassBeard: He has an impressively thick one.

* Villainous Friendship: Despite his occasional betrayals, his partnership with Blaine is a clear example, with Blaine’s sarcastic wit only matched by Don E’s. Both work together to achieve their morally reprehensible ends, and Don E even let Blaine sleep at his mother’s house after losing his own house. While Blaine does treat him as a lackey at times, he still shows Don E respect, and sometimes even views him as an equal, forgiving Don E for stealing his business. [[spoiler: Subverted by the final season, once Peyton inadvertently reveals Blaine’s murder of Don E’s fiancée, whose Freylich Syndrome made her brain an extremely valuable zombie cure. Don E even invokes this trope after finding out about Blaine’s betrayal, pointing out that he was the only one who had any meaningful relationship with Blaine.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: She has her moments, and depending on the brain she eats it can be magnified. After she eats the brain of a preschool teacher, she finds herself asking people what they're good at, chastising swearing and yelling and leaving a note for her LoveInterest [[spoiler:Justin]] to mark a 'yes' or 'no' on whether or not he likes her.

Bad Dreams was renamed by TRS due to misuse. This is misuse, so it gets cut.


* BadDreams: After being turned into a zombie by Blaine she finds herself unable to sleep for months and when she finally does fall asleep she has a nightmare about Blaine sitting at the foot of her bed before attacking. Afterwards, Liv gives an unamused monologue about the bitter irony of a zombie dreaming about being attacked by a zombie.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Blaine in Season Two, after becoming an amnesiac. He is horrified to learn of his past crimes; and later seeks to aid Liv and puts himself in danger to save Peyton. This skirts the DeathOfPersonality trope, as Blaine still retains his wit; and his proficiency with firearms, implying retrograde amnesia. This is confirmed in the third season, and the character remains a hero for the first half the season. He later confesses he feigned the true duration of his memory loss in attempt to change his life and how people viewed him. He returns to his old ways after Peyton leaves him (his deception precluded Major and Liv from being cured) and his father has him shot while also stealing his business. Though the uneasy friendship he forms with the group falls apart, both he and Don E. assist Liv and Clive on an investigation.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Don E. The latter to the point Blaine offers Don a partnership after he betrayed him, despite killing other henchman in the first season for attempting to start their own business. In Season 5,[[spoiler: he ends up straying to the bad side - permanently this time.]]
