Madness Mantra | |
| Strange Highways / int_141a6acb | comment |
Madness Mantra: What Jessica's litany of "We are a new race with new rules and new emotions" ends up sounding like. Initially declared triumphantly, it ends up being something she repeats to her siblings (and mostly to herself) in a weak attempt to convince and soothe them that the fetus she is carrying won't kill them the second it is born. | |

As a result of the triplets in "We Three" killing everybody else on the planet, every city on earth has become this. | |

However, when he sits down to write a list of deservers, he can't seem to stop writing... | |

Downer Ending: "We Three": Whatever Eldritch Abomination Jessica is pregnant with will kill the triplets when it is born and take over the entire universe. "Ollie's Hands": Ollie fails to start a relationship with the young woman and goes back to being the lonely, social awkward individual he was at the beginning of the story. "Twilight of the Dawn": Benny dies of cancer and Pete still can't be completely convinced that God exists. | |

Evilutionary Biologist | |
| Strange Highways / int_546e23f6 | comment |
Evilutionary Biologist: Young Jessica in "We Three." She thinks the extermination of the human race is a good thing, views herself and her brothers as members of a new, superior race and takes a disturbingly active role in repopulating the planet with her offspring. It ends up working horribly right, as her hermaphroditic child jumps a step up on the evolution ladder, becomes self aware in her womb and, much like its mother, sees its parents as inferior and unnecessary. The story ends with the implication that the fetus will exterminate the triplets once it is born. | |

Self-Made Orphan: The triplets in "We Three" kill their mother and father, together with every single human being on earth. Their malicious unborn child is implied to intend to become one once it is born, as it is hermaphroditic or can breed asexually, and therefore does not need its inferior parents. | |

I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Jonathan and Jerry usually end up doing whatever Jessica tells them to do in "We Three," because she is beautiful and bossy and they are quite taken with her. It crosses over into major Squick territory because they are only ten years old and she is their sister. The casual way in which they both have sex with her during a beach trip suggests that they had been doing that for a while. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Strange Highways / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The antagonist of "The Black Pumpkin". He's a pumpkin demon that kills Billy's entire family because they were all terrible people, but he can't kill Billy himself because he is generally a good person. However, he says he'll come back if Billy ever starts becoming evil, and it's shown the demon has a very lose definition of what "evil" is. | |
