* EmoTeen: Gannet and Addie both have dyed hair and piercings and like talking to each other about how much their lives suck. Ironically, Gannet actually acts ''[[CharacterDevelopment less]]'' like one when his wings begin growing in; he still angsts about them, but he doesn't mope about more mundane things like he's shown to have done the entire day before he got them, and has developed a recent tendency to avoid thinking too much about things that terrify him.

Per TRS Good People Have Good Sex is now a disambig page.


* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[ZigzaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. During Gannet and Bailey's first few sexual encounters, Gannet notes that Bailey's total lack of sexual experience is very obvious but also that his eagerness still makes the sex extremely pleasurable. However, they then go through a period where they have to abort several attempts at sex due to Bailey [[TheLoinsSleepTonight failing to get aroused]] until they realize that it's because Bailey is demisexual and can get into sex only if it feels emotionally meaningful to him. Even after they become comfortable enough in their relationship to have great sex on a regular basis, their attempts at sex in Ch. 5 get repeatedly thwarted by Gannet's body being too sore from his exercise regimen (and once, by Gannet accidentally smacking Bailey in the face with one of his wings).
