6!!Tropes:
7* AirVentPassageWay: Several episodes feature characters crawling around in vents.
8* CastFullOfGay: the majority of characters are queer in some way, this is partially explained by the fact that [[spoiler: facing discrimination based on your identity builds mental protections.]] This would make queer people generally more qualified to work at the Department of Variance.
9* DislikesTheNewGuy: At first Scarlet is annoyed that she is going to have to train Jasmine.
10* EldritchLocation: The Department of Variance is one of these, as well as possibly the entire state of Ohio.
11* HellIsThatNoise: The birdsong.
12* MortalWoundReveal: In season 1 episode 14, [[spoiler: Sterling Proof is shot]], at the end of season 2 episode 7, [[spoiler: it is revealed that the wound is almost certainly going to kill him]].
13* {{Narrator}}: The podcast has two narrators in addition.
14* ProfessorGuineaPig: Green and Sterling have both used themselves as test subjects.
15* RealityIsOutToLunch: When Jasmine is in [[spoiler: her and Scarlet's memory]] during season 2, reality does not behave the way that it normally does.
16* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
17** Without Sterling's knowledge, Yellow Access [[spoiler: was actually using his protagonist initiative as a way to psychically link the entire department of Variance.]]
