Despite their penchant for writing horror, comedy and horror comedy, the Stupendium has quite a few songs that touch the heartstrings.
- "Little Rover" treats the planet Mars as the Roman god of war, and depicts humanity's mission to reach it as an attempt to meet and befriend him. Since we're not ready for that leap yet, we sent Opportunity "to say we'd be there soon"So our finest, best and brightest
Set their minds to a machine
To venture in our stead through space
To keep him company - "No Waves like Home
". Never has the phrase "Home is where the heart is" been more appropriate, as the main character from Subnautica sings about how they have come to feel at home on this strange ocean planet they have crashlanded on. - "Gotta Build a Zoo", based on Planet Zoo, foregoes any horror to instead describe the quest to build a zoo as a mission to save the natural world from destruction, taking great pains to show the beauty and fragility of nature. The music video is also intercut with footage of the Stupendium playing with animals and having the time of their life.
- "Shine Through", based on Life Is Strange: True Colors may be their crowning moment of heartwarming. It calls to those who feel lost and alone to find love and belonging in their Family of Choice, using a Color Motif to describe how life is never as grey as it seems and there is always a blue sky behind the grey clouds if you are willing to reach for it.Whenever your life is strange and
The pain is too much to go through
Know that you can find your haven
In those you chose to be close to - This line from Vending Machine of Love is both heartwarmingly inclusive on its own, but becomes doubly so after Stupes came out as pan and nonbinary. Notably, the subtitles changes color to match the respective pride flags of the sexualities they mention.If you're ace, demi, pan, flexible
End of the day we are all can-sexual! - "Can't Teach This" has a brief moment where the wizard professor brags that their school is big on inclusivity, with their wand flashing the pink, white and blue of the transgender pride flag, which is sweet considering the infamous transphobia of the Trope Codifier of the wizard school.
- Shelter From The Storm. Despite lamenting the miserable circumstances mankind find themselves in, it is ultimately a song of hope, declaring that their suffering is worth it if it means building a better world for their children.
- A Little Theorizing, not only for the nature of the collab, but for the song's overall vibe. It expresses glee at how much there is to learn in video games and in the world, and is clearly a labor of love for a channel that the Stupendium adores.
- Cassie Haversham's verse in Neath is about her life story as a closeted trans woman who got the chance to be who she truly wanted to be after London fell.
- The bridge of "Adequate Wordsmith" is The Stupendium wondering if all the struggle to get where they are now was worth it before deciding that yes, it was. And while the song and video are styled after braggadocious rap songs, the lyrics are overflowing with gratitude towards their audience for helping them get this far.
- While still keeping the original's dark tone, the Remastered version of Vault Number 76 has the Stupendium praise Fallout (2024) in the description and even gives credit to Bethesda for managing to pull through and fix up Fallout 76 a bit, removing the Take That! in the outro for a Vault-Tec message.
