7!!Tropes featured in this webcomic:
8* ActionGirl: Katt is just as capable of dishing out mayhem as Fox and/or Gray, and is seen to be even more capable after the TimeSkip.
9* AfterTheEnd: The ''Unstuffed'' arc ends with Brown's [[{{Utopia}} utopian city]] being [[NuclearOption nuked]]. The first few strips of the ''Memory's Threads'' arc are filled with descriptions of the resulting devastation.
10* AndThisIsFor: After [[CurbStompBattle curb stomping]] a deer plush, Katt snaps off his one remaining antler "...for insinuating I was Convoy".
11* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Cole, as descibed by Katt.
12-->'''Katt''': "...There are mean plush. And then there are a special breed of [[AxCrazy batshit]] megalomaniacal incestuous clowns out there."
13* AxCrazy: Cole, as described by Katt.
14* BarcodeTattoo: During the "Unstuffed" arc, Katt has two barcode tattoos. One on the back of her neck, the other on her right rear cheek. By the start of "Memories Threads", she has obliterated them.
15* BashBrothers: Fox and Gray seem to enjoy mixing it up with Brown's [[EliteMooks Invincibles]].
16* BigBad: President Victor Brown, at least in ''Unstuffed''.
17* BigGuyLittleGuy: Brown is a small Hitler expy hamster in control of the Order of the Broken Circle. One is his [[EliteMooks seven foot squirrel muscle]].
18* {{Brainwashed}}: A large portion of the general populace has been imbued with a mind control fluid called E-Fill. They obey President Brown without question or pause.
19* BreakTheCutie: Sally winds up catching this at maximum strength.
20* TheBrute: Invincible One, who serves as President Brown's personal bodyguard.
21* CrapsackWorld: Either end of things, really. Choose between a world of mind controlled, instantly obedient thralls under a tyrant, or an 'AfterTheEnd' complete with cannibals, slavers and maniacs.
22* TheDragon: Invincible Sixty-Five, to President Brown.
23* EliteMooks: The Invincibles are one-hundred squirrels with Roman numeral insignia branded (embroidered?) on their bodies.
24* TheEmpire: The Order of the Closed Circle was Brown's idea for uniting the world. Under his ''personal'' control.
25* FedoraOfAsskicking: Fox can be seen wearing one [[http://www.plushandblood.com/Comic.php?strip_id=20 here]]. By the end of the "Unstuffed" arc, it has clearly [[http://www.plushandblood.com/Comic.php?strip_id=397 seen better days]].
26* GodzillaThreshold: Someone hired the Devil's Hands to kill President Brown. They promptly destroyed the largest city on the planet and caused a worldwide apocalypse that, even after the TimeSkip leading into ''Memory's Threads'', has made the world an even more unpleasant place than it was before.
27* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Cole, at being called "a special breed of [[AxCrazy batshit]] megalomaniacal incestuous clown".
28* InfernalFugitives: After a tight tussle with Invincible IV, Fox triumphs, and nails the decapitated corpse above a doorway, with a message for the other mooks written in blood: "The Devil's Hands have come to collect those that escaped from Hell." The Devil's Hands is the nomenclature for the two heroes. While President Brown's mooks never escaped from Hell, Brown's obedience serum makes them obey orders without question, qualm or mercy.
29* MamaBear: After Katt takes someone in do NOT be the one [[TooDumbToLive dumb enough]] to threaten her adoptive child.
30* NumberTwo: Control seems to be this to President Brown, and the short story ''Brown'' shows that Control had served as Victor's assistant even before the Broken Circle was founded.
31* ReforgedIntoAMinion: The Invincibles were once part of the resistance, but were captured and converted into Brown's personal EliteMooks.
32* SawedOffShotgun: Fox's weapon of choice.
33* ShoutOut: Fans of Brian Jacques' 'Redwall' books will know the reference to Martin of Redwall in the short story ''Brown''.
34* SlidingScaleOfLivingToys: The plush characters in this story push the limits of level 6 of this trope.
35* StartOfDarkness: President Brown gets one of these in the form of a short story, giving a brief overview of his life and rise to power. Invincible One and Silence also receive short stories depicting how they came under the President's control.
36* ThisIsGoingToSuck: Brown, immediately before [[http://plushandblood.com/Comic.php?strip_id=19 One falls on top of him]].
37** At the end of ''Unstuffed'', when Fox triggers the detonation sequence for the processing plant's reactor core, Brown and his entourage simply stand in StunnedSilence.
38* UnsoundEffect: "Door", "Face", "Feedback", "Scuffle", "Hurting". All these in the first dozen or so pages.
39** And "Potato" when Sally is doing some light thievery in a village market.

41* [[YouAreNumberSix You Are Number VI]]: The one-hundred [[EliteMooks Invincibles]] are all referred to by a number, which is branded as a Roman numeral on their chests and occasionally foreheads.
