In Takeover, Lia's knife swings start off in tune with the music to reference how good she is at keeping up a facade. But as the video goes on she attacks more often and out of sync, and by Down Bad she's manic and not attacking with any sort of rhythm, simply trying to get what she wants out of the situation.
T.C. uses sign language very often, and everyone seems to be able to understand without issue despite it not being a subject commonly taught.
Senpai’s a teacher, so it’d make sense for him to know it for his students. By virtue of Possession, it’s likely DRIP SPIRIT picked it up through Senpai.
Sarvente and Ruv have been around for a very long time, and most likely picked it up along the way with the many people Sarvente would’ve been in contact with.
In the LORE series, BF uses sign language; Sky would’ve learnt it to understand him when she initially did her dimension shift.
Tankman has been actively shown to not understand, until he later learns that he can simply read the on screen captions as opposed to learning ASL.
Pico & B.B. mention they know it due to their relation to BF.
Lia most likely would follow similar logic to Sky.
Updike’s status as an elite agent gives him similar logic to Sarvente and Ruv; with the sheer number of entities he’s probably dealt with, he most likely is fluent in several languages.
Rosie was shown to not understand it, though later the general “feeling” behind it was.
Garcello is one of the few characters she's actually spoken to vocally (since he was the only other person present & with affable aura), so it’s not relevant for him.
Taki hasn’t been shown explicitly whether or not she does; T.C. had made comments in front of her that she either didn’t notice or didn’t choose to respond to.
Cloud has been shown to understand and occasionally use sign language, most likely taught by Updike to do so.
Skyblue likely learned ASL to understand Skilor since the two travel together.
T.C. not using the Dragon Axe more often can be explained by game mechanics; Items can be kept in a toolbelt instead of being held, but in exchange they can't be taken out to use for general tasks. This is why she couldn't use it to break the boarded-up window in Lia's house.
The episode Howdy Cloudy essentially saved Updike from being scrapped, after Mid-Fight Masses content had to be removed. Prior to the episode, Updike's only role was to be an antagonist to Ruv and Sarvente, as well as keeping other characters from standing in his way. But the decision to have Cloud be his adoptive daughter gave Updike a lot more potential as a character, leading to him getting several more episodes with a currently ongoing arc about The Greater Good and his personal life.
In the Muted Melodies mod, the implication behind the opponent in "Flashback" being named "tcbro" in the files. Also the fact that you have to go through the debug menu to play the song, mimicking digging through a repressed memory.
Fridge Logic:
Guns in LORE.
Irl T.C. has expressed that she does not feel attracted to fictional characters. Despite this, a major plot point is LORE T.C.'s unrequited crush towards Sarvente, with future potential suitresses being a popular topic of debate in the community.
Ruv has been shown to "wink". Ruv also only has one eye, with an eyepatch over where the other one was.
