Obscure Reference no. 4: Avatar: The Last Airbender

In the first two seasons of ATLA, Zuko often disguises himself as a masked renegade and, through his covert exploits, becomes known as "The Blue Spirit".

I know Ganondorf canonically has a deep voice, but I always imagine him in OoT sounding like Prince Froglip from The Princess and the Goblin.

all that I'm saying is that if iwbft was a 2000s Broadway musical, Lister would be played by Adam Pascal

Despite hardly keeping any consistent brevity, I took the time trying to read Caper Havers, a comic made in collaboration with Andrew Hussie and Cindy Dominguez. Of course, it was left unfinished, yet McMitten's conclusion kind of wrapped it up in some way (McMittens is the dog by the way).

And here's something I recognized in Chapter 2: An old lady named R. S. Souflette appeared when mentioned and rambles in a Scottish accent about characters her book series like "Ghost Eggs" and "quibbleboggles" like "Shumblehoof."

Yet at first, when Bertworth (tall skinny guy) mentions she wrote a series of wizard novels, I thought it sounded familiar. Up until I saw this:

Bertworth mentions 2 characters and plot points in Andrew's unfinished pastiche of Harry Potter, "Wizardy Herbert." Sure because Souflette is based off of J. K. Rowling (socialists will hiss when one mentions her name for good reason), then Bertworth has to bring up her fantasy novels that literally happen to be Wizardy Herbert.

But I checked in the original document by Andrew and there was no mention of a "ghost egg" a "polywaddle" or a "quibbleboggle." Perhaps its another installment to the Wizardy Herbert series that hasn't been made or just elements from a draft.

But wait! If in the Homestuck canon Roxy Lalonde made the manuscripts of Wizardy Herbert, then what does that make Souflette? Roxy at age 73, developing a very strong Scottish accent of some kind? Who knows, the interdimensional canon mindfuck would become true if Beyond Canon's writers actually got each self-reference from Andrew.

Anyway, that's your obscure Homestuck discovery of the day.

P.S. Caper Havers is also the comic where I found out the name of the "other robot" who's shaped like a circle. He could be the counterpart of Blue Ghost (Hussie's mascot for his juvenilia) for all I care. The name is "Green Rover."

Obscure Reference no. 5: The Owl House (obscure reference doubleheader today!)

Main character Luz's cool rebellious mentor in The Owl House is named Edalyn Clawthorne, which isn't too far to presume was based on the English name Evelyn Hawthorne.
