* Sally's natural hair color before the Dream is the orangey brown seen in Page 3 of Chapter ???. The black/red fade was imparted by goth hair dye.

* While there is usually some significance to a magical girl whose [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow eyes don't match her hair color]], Sally's gold pupils are stylistic, however she refuses a purely stylistic choice to complement her red hair and irises. However, the author has conspicuously refused to comment on Tessa's gold pupils.
* Sally's natural hair color before receiving the Dream is the orangey brown auburn color seen in Page 3 of Chapter ???. The black/red fade seen in prior flashbacks was imparted by goth hair dye.

[[folder:Jossed]]
She has denied a few themes in fan speculation:
* There's a particularly famous set of four confirming that it's not particularly close to [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]]:
** Monsters aren't [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie dead kids]].
** There's no TimeTravel.
** It's not AllJustADream.
** It's not [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]] (a catch-all for any Specifically Madoka tropes not part of the prior three, generally used to mean that [[spoiler:the magical girls haven't sold their souls to a SatanicArchetype]] or [[spoiler:a main character won't become God]]).
* [[spoiler:Cassidy]] has no diagnosable mental illnesses and does not have a crush on [[spoiler:Heartful Punch]].[[note]]In the case of the latter, this is intentionally [[AvertedTrope averted]] as Cube has made it adamantly clear that she despises the PsychoLesbian trope.[[/note]]
* [[spoiler:Cassidy]] did not have secret information justifying her actions in Chapter 14. Her line "How did you REALLY [[spoiler:get that pink in your eyes]]?" is meant to imply that there was an official story about [[spoiler:Alchemical's deaths]] mentioning everything except for Goops.
* Cassidy's powerset (a separable pair of scissor blades) is emphatically ''not'' a ''Anime/KillLaKill'' reference.
* The alt-text on the second Q&A page, which proclaims that the government nerd who matches athematic girls with partners is named Fate, is not a ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' reference.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The City]]
* The total number of magical girls is somewhere between 100 and 10,000.
* The City is a "socialist democracy."[[note]]It's unclear what she actually meant, as that's not a word, but it's assumed she meant "social democracy."[[/note]]
* The title of the City's head of state is "Mayor."
* Bicycles are common in the City. The only reason they are not seen in canon is that they're annoying for her to draw.
* Guns do not exist in the City because, while the knowledge of how to make them survived, nonmagical weaponry is useless against monsters.
* Sometimes, a monster just sucks. There is nothing anomalous about a monster that's bad at its job.[[/folder]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Future's Promise]]
* Future's Promise does not divide classes by year. Incoming students take placement exams instead.
* Future's Promise does not attempt to be a magical girl training school. It is, rather, simply a nicer and fancier school as a perk of registration.
* Classes at Future's Promise are sorted into periods, which use the same timeslot each day.[[note]]This was stated in response to Discord users more familiar with "block scheduling," where periods can occur at irregular times as long as they comprise a certain amount of time per week, which Cube is completely unfamiliar with.[[/note]]
* Future's Promise holds classes every day, though Saturdays and Sundays are slightly shorter. This is because part of the attendance requirement's purpose is to keep an accurate headcount of its students, so that a magical girl who dies on a Friday night doesn't go unnoticed for two whole days.
* If a second Foundationist-run magical girl school exists, its name is Founder's Blessing.

[[folder:Specific Characters]]
* In the present day, Kokoro's dad works in the corporate sector in an art-related job.
* Rue's surname is "Bahia" (like Reed from ''Webcomic/KiwiBlitz'').
* Sally's gold pupils are stylistic, however she refuses to comment on Tessa's gold pupils.
* Sally's natural hair color before the Dream is the orangey brown seen in Page 3 of Chapter ???. The black/red fade was imparted by goth hair dye.
* As there's no Germany for [[Webcomic/KiwiBlitz Steffi]]'s mother to move back to, the Frohlich parents are still in a miserable marriage or something.
* Tessa's power is the manipulation of raw mana, which she used primarily to create lasers.
* Tessa is Latina.
* In terms of pure GPA, Sylvia > Undine > Tessa > Gwen > Sally.
* What UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns/speech patterns characters would use:
** Tessa, Zoe: ''watashi''
** Undine, Sylvia: ''atashi''
** Gwen, Sally, Rue: ''boku''
** The Woman in White would use {{Keigo}}.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Clarifications of the Comic]]
* The running track from Chapter 2, despite looking like it's on the roof, is not on the roof. (This was a minor meme in the Discord for a while, and the source of the alternate name "rooftrack" for the Code.)
* In the panel where it looks like Beth is contemplating her nails, she's actually checking her watch. Cagle just drew it from an odd angle.
* Zoe is variously either 1 or 1.5 inches taller than Undine; she just looks shorter because she's continuously hunched over.
* The calendar as calculated by Epele et al, which places Chapter 1 on September 2 and Chapter 16 on October 4 the same year, is accurate. At one point Cube even asked for details on how it was encoded to make sure the calendar was right.
[[/folder]]
* By her own admission, some of the WordOfGod (such as the aforementioned height difference between Undine and Zoe) may be later rendered inaccurate:
--->'''Cube Watermelon:''' i say many things\\
'''Cube Watermelon:''' and then i forgets them
