8	!! Blood Splattered Socks contains examples of:
9	* AlternateSelf: Charlie is this to Sam.
10	* BadFuture: [[spoiler:Emi comes from one wherein her father has murdered all humans]]
11	* ButNotTooForeign: Ash is half American, which counts as foreign for the Australian setting.
12	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Charlie constantly gets confused as a girl to this, which is what causes him to go by his middle name instead of "Sam".
13	* EmbarrassingFirstName: Charlie uses his middle name to avoid his gender-neutral first name. His adult counterpart has reverted back to Sam.
14	* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Sam offers to show Ash some of these of Charlie.
15	** And again with photos of Ash with longer hair.
16	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Charlie's only been gone 17 years, but he still gets surprised by things like digital cameras and how to use computers.
17	* GenderBlenderName: Basically everyone.
18	* GroinAttack: The other kids' method to determine whether Charlie is really a boy.
19	* IWantMyJetpack: Charlie's response to learning the current date.
20	* LadyLooksLikeADude: Ash, seemingly willingly and in a tomboy-ish way, wears her hair short and would always wear the gender neutral gym uniform to school despite any trouble that may bring.
21	** Even going so far as to wear a suit to a wedding instead of a dress
22	* MathematiciansAnswer: Johnny's explanation for what his company does.
23	* MoodWhiplash: Happens when Charlie realises everyone he knew has grown up.
24	* OminousMessageFromTheFuture: Sam gets one of these signed ''A Darker Future''.
25	* TimeTravel: How Charlie and Sam met.
26	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Charlie and Ash are a non-romantic example of this as they are close friends who both get their gender mistaken
27	* ThatCameOutWrong: Charlie's suggestion that they [[PlayingDoctor play doctor]].
28	* TitleDrop: Each chapter is named after a line spoken in it.
29	* TimeMachine: A watch-shaped one.
30	* TrivialTitle: The comic's title "Blood Splattered Socks" is an example of this as so far it's only been a minimal side effect.
