Headscratchers / Housepets!

• It's small, but why do pets call their owners "Mom/Dad"? Is it to showcase how immature they are?
  • Probably. Although their exact ages are never given they're almost certainly younger than the humans who take care of them. Pets in this universe are functionally not much different than human children.
  • It could also be related to American pet stores like Petsmart referring to owners as Pet Parents, so this could potentially be an extension on that.
  • Possibly unintentional, but it could also be referencing the fact that Real Life pets - or at least cats and dogs - display a certain degree of behavioral neoteny.^note The retention of childlike traits into adulthood. It's been theorized that these animals actually do live in a kind of extended puppyhood/kittenhood, and might see their owners as surrogate parents.
• Do Daryl, Karishad, and Zach remember the events of the Temple Crashers arc, considering that it was Keene's dream? Were they even actually there, or were they just part of the dream?
  • If nothing else, Zach remembers he can cast light and the gargoyles.
  • It wasn't a dream, the Demigods' M.O. is to send mortals they meet with back to their beds with "subtle" hints that it really happened. Tarot even admits it's basically just a formality.
• Was Daisy inspired by the Urban Legend about the personals ad that sounded like a woman looking for a date but turned out to be about a black lab named Daisy looking for an owner, with the contact information pertaining to her animal shelter (since they were trying to dupe someone into adopting her)?
  • Could be? Either that or she's just a reference to Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and the "Hi, I'm Daisy!" meme.
• How did Demon/Negabreel know where to find Keene? Presumably 'The Bad Place' is pretty dang big, yet he knew when & where to go to find the one person who both knew his good half and also had the means to escape to Earth?
  • Pure luck? Demon didn't remember he used to be Breel. He saw a mortal enter the Bad Place and latched onto them, hoping for an express ride back, which they got. That person just so happened to be boyfriends with his better half.
