* ColbertBump: Shiniez/Nebezial, being Sigeel's husband and well-known artist, frequently links to her webcomic and gives her a thousand-pageview per day boost.
* InspirationForTheWork: Music/{{Helloween}} is the inspiration for Dr. Stein's character.
* MissingEpisode: Many illustrations for ''Blood Stain'' were posted to [=DeviantArt=] only. Ever since her [=DeviantArt=] account was shut down, those illustrations have since been lost.
* PopularityRedo: Sigeel redesigned Chapter 1 of the comic in comic-book (page-by-page) form, adding some extra frames and details.
* ShrugOfGod: Sigeel typically denies or gives a 'wait and see'-type response to reader speculation, such as what Elliot's actual job is or what Dr. Stein's red stains are.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The comic was inspired by one of Nebezial's [[http://sigeel.deviantart.com/art/his-asisstants-hips-were-nice-308705196 darker images]], only to get sidetracked by Sigeel's tendency to add humor to situations.
* WriteWhoYouKnow:
** Dr. Stein's taste for chicken feet [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/523646379/3842701174 comes from Sigeel's husband]].
** Linda credits [[https://sigeel.deviantart.com/journal/2017-reflection-720726889 her overworking nature]] as a reason why she writes Dr. Stein so well.
