(Note that the characterizations truly are DependingOnTheWriter.)

!!The most common themes or conceptions portrayed in the anime styled stories or fanart are:

* {{Jerkass}}: Lifty, Shifty, Nutty.

* OppositesAttract: Flippy and Flaky.

* RedOniBlueOni: Nutty and Sniffles. Splendont and Splendid are this only in colors, because, personality-wise, Splendid is the [[HotBlooded hot blooded]], enthusiastic of the two, while Splendont appears [[TheStoic stoic]] or deadpan most of the time.

* BastardBoyfriend: Flippy is a serial rapist in most pictures.

* OneHeadTaller: Lumpy whenever he's in a pairing. Probably because he's a little taller than anybody else in the original series.

* AngelDevilShipping: Flaky is portrayed as a sweet, loving, fearful, kind, [[{{Moe}} naive girl]], while Flippy is malicious, [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkass-ish]], perverted (many times, [[MurderersAreRapists a rapist]]) and sadistic.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Both Flippy and Flaky.

* MemeticMolester: Flippy. He almost always molests or rapes other character in fanart.
** Splendid and Lumpy are this, too.
