* AmbiguouslyBrown: The second chapter of "Snickery When Damp" manages to use this trope without the individual in question actually appearing in person. Mrs. Finlayson is only identified as Afro-Eurasian and since "Afro-Eurasia" is the name of the collected landmass that is Africa, Europe and Asia that does not narrow down anything, which Heidi of course lampshades. Apparently that is the extent of the rest of the Finlayson family's knowledge and would they ever find out Mrs. Finlayson would kill the entire family, extending it to in-laws and the children of Ken's older half-sister Ulrica.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Mrs. Finlayson comes across as this. She hasn't appeared in person yet but apparently when she is in a specific area blood starts dripping down walls and dogs start forming into packs. Also she was recently in the hospital for cosmetic surgery for her chin, lips, cheeks and eyelids which only begs the question what she even looks like period let alone beforehand. The first chapter of "Expiry by Lamplight" establishes all of this.

* OnlySaneMan: A variation. "Only Intelligent Man." Ken seems to be the only one with any intelligence to figure out that Randy is the Ninja due to Randy always using his usual voice when he is the Ninja.

Added DiffLines:

* RealityEnsues: Ken discovered that Randy was the Ninja due to Randy never using a different voice and posture as the Ninja.

* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs: Rick has a similar response to Heidi's suggestion that maybe he should host Ken's web-series "Animals Amidst Us: Crossing to the Unexplained" instead of his son and her boyfriend. Rick can't see himself as the host of anything but a dinner party and believes that web-series are for far younger people.

* AnalogyBackfire: In "McFist's Automated Anarchy" (No, really. That is the actual title.) McFist compares himself to the Nubian conquerors of Egypt as he is conquering Norrisville. What he fails to realize and what Jet makes a point of noting in the narration is that the Nubian's eventually lost Egypt.

*AdaptationalVillainy: An odd example since it is not as much an canon character but rather their past lives. For instance in Past Lives stories "The Mongol Invasions and Conquests" and "The Fall of the Western Empire" sees Randy's past lives as a Mongol khan and a Goth king respectively.


Added DiffLines:

* GreyAndGrayMorality: Past lives stories "Crusades" and "The English War" are anything but black and white with both sides for each conflict having both good and bad people, however the Crusaders and the English seem to be the ones sided with the most despite this trope.

* ShoutOutToShakespeare: "Nuptials of Absurdity" is a story set at a wedding, as the title states, and features yellow socks out of Theatre/TwelfthNight and hijinks worthy of Benedick and Beatrice from Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing. On the Much Ado side of things, Ken even says "I am an ass" as allusion to Dogberry. Later in the same chapter Ken quotes Puck from Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream and after Ken exits the scene Niall paraphrases a line from that same play about if because Randy has Howard's love (brotherly but Niall isn't referencing this kind) if they are getting married.

* PurpleProse: Jet occasionally indulges this. There is no better example than in chapter nine of "Paris and Tibet" where Ken and Heidi have sex and we are given the short paragraph that says the following: "In Heidi's room they ravished and when they ravished it was not like a captor and abductee. Nor was it like a freer and freshly-freed. Instead it was as a disenthralled gentleman and a disenthralled gentlewoman, in an attack of ardor that demanded no further blaze."
