** One of the funny details of the "Dragged Across the Finish Line" music video is how you can still tell the main character is Deanna despite having a trash can on her head because she's still dressed exactly the same, still wearing the same jeans -- with her wallet and keys still in them! -- while working out and running a race.

** One RunningGag of hers is deflecting the discomfort of being asked about the emotional meaning of her lyrics by giving WordOfGod interpretations of her songs that are extremely mundane and literal -- "Tourniquet" is about "having really dry skin in the winter" ("And it's winter again/There's cracks in my skin/Nothing stops the bleeding"), "1K Rats" is "a song about barfing" ("Now I'm throwing up in the parking lot").

** Ironically, Deanna has also talked about being the opposite of a gatekeeping purist and unironically enjoying the easy-listening and "dad rock" songs that played when she worked in a dental office as a teen, expressing sincere appreciation for bands her fellow punk musicians dunk on like Music/TheEagles and the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers. (Her [=YouTube=] channel shows the band happily covering poppy '80s and '90s songs like "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Music/TheEagles and "Losing a Whole Year" by Music/ThirdEyeBlind.) Hilariously, with "Library of Broken Bindings" and "Bottle Lightning Twice" she seems to be intentionally getting into the BedroomPop trend several years late while Gen Z influencers like Creator/WillowSmith and Creator/OliviaRodrigo are getting into pop punk.

* HappyEndingOverride: "Recluse in the Making" is a sequel of sorts for "Overbite" -- since they both describe episodes in Deanna Belos' RealLife -- and shows that despite the moment of triumph when Deanna learned to BeYourself at the end of "Overbite", the SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome is that despite finding success as a musician surrounded by friends and fans, her constantly feeling like a failure never actually went away (because of the HardTruthAesop that there is no sudden magic cure for depression).
