Roommates: These Are My Reflections/YMMV


 * Iron Woobie: This story is full of Iron Woobies.
 * Junior, in his feelings of terror and helplessness of what it will mean if he's uncloseted. He ended up making some stupid and careless choices that cost a great deal to friends, loved ones and family. The thing that makes him so damn sympathetic in all of his stupidity, is knowing that he's still a kid who has absolutely no idea how to handle the hardest cards dealt him, and has had to improvise in all his fear.
 * Hanbei, in losing his parents,.
 * Roy, in seeing his life's dreams crash down before him, feeling too damaged to pick up the pieces, and seeking refuge in his own Gilded Cage to nurse his despair.
 * Bowser, for having a father like Rufus. How horrible.
 * Mary Sue Classic: Hanbei, even with his informed flaws, is still beloved and respected by all. The creators are already aware that Hanbei skirts sue-dom.
 * Stoic Woobie: Jojo. Honestly, both he and Junior exercised moments of poor judgment, but you end up sympathizing with them both. Every description of every blank stare and stoic word Jojo gives after their breakup, feels tragically chilling.
