Superego/YMMV

• Epileptic Trees: Are they dead? Are they in a coma? Are the characters all fragments of one person? Is the hospital a big therapy session? Maybe the hospital is EVERYONE'S MINDS! Who knows?!
  • It's gotten to the point where a WMG page was created for this comic.
• Fridge Brilliance: The demonic voice speaking to Sam while he was in the White Void Room seemed nonsensical and spoke in sn incomprehensible mish-mash of letters and symbols. As noted under Subliminal Seduction on the main page, however, the gibberish is actually a code. So why was the voice speaking in code? Because Sam is a sysadmin and very familiar with computer codes and hacking, and the voice reflects his inner demons. In short, it was speaking the language he's most familiar with.
• Memetic Mutation: "WHAT IT MEAN" has become a term for plot speculation, thanks to this post. Cherry almost says it at one point.
  • Sam thinking everything is a virus has become a meme amongst suggesters, due to being a paranoid sysadmin.
• Ugly Cute: Sam, despite his "gremlinesque" features, is considered adorable by some of the readers.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: The author had to clarify that Cherry was a girl at first.
  • The same can be said about Quin. It doesn't help that she goes by her more androgynous-sounding middle name.
• The Woobie: Cherry is this in spades. She's very skittish and shy, and utterly collapses under stress, not to mention her near-constant self deprecation though all of that can probably be attributed to her Avoidant Personality Disorder. Seeing her cry is like a hard punch to the emotions.
  • Shadow-Rick also deserves hugs. Lots of 'em.
