History Music / Lights

* {{Becoming The Mask}} / [[DoNotCallMePaul Don't Call Me Valerie]]: She actually [[MeaningfulRename had her name legally changed]] to Lights, and prefers that people [[ThatManIsDead no longer address or refer to her by her born first name Valerie]].

* DistaffCounterpart: {{Owl City}}

--> '''Lights:''' Looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorry, it's a little late but you know I just want you to be happy, what I gotta say to make you let me get away with it this time? I know you're upset and that you're happy just to sit and hate me, but I'll make a bet that you'd be better to forget about me, even better yet I'll let a little light melt the [[ShoutOut ice, ice baby!]]

* {{Shout Out}}: In "Ice" she pays a brief lyrical homage to Music/VanillaIce ("...I'll let a little light melt the '''Ice Ice Baby!'''") followed by a musical quote.

* AWildRapperAppears: "Everybody Breaks a Glass" and "Flux and Flow" on ''Siberia''. He either makes the tracks better or is extremely out of place.

* SpecialGuest: Showed up on the Fast Food Meatloaf episode of EpicMealTime.

* LyricsVideoMismatch: "Ice". The lyrics are about a boyfriend who's a male IceQueen, the music video is about Lights fighting her EvilTwin.

* MirrorMatch: Near the end of "Ice," with her EvilCounterpart[[hottip:*: A subversion of ActingForTwo]].

* CatchPhrase: Captain Lights says "Damn..." at the end of nearly episode (almost always because a new threat is revealed). [[spoiler:When Lights sees Earth in the last episode, she says it again, but this time in admiration.]]
** Averted at the end of issue four though, where Captain Lights instead listens to the voices of the Wah-Wah's[[hottip:*: An alien race on the planet she's visiting]] and reflects on the uniqueness and beauty of each voice.

* MirrorMatch: The music clip for "Ice."

-->''In the interim,'' ''[[SuperMarioBros the princess was in another castle]]''

* AuthorAvatar: Captain Lights

* MirrorMatch: "Ice." But with a lookalike playing her cloaked alter ego, she isn't ActingForTwo.

* {{Mind Screw}}: The ending of the video for "Ice". A SplitPersonality Merge? TheBadGuyWins}}? What?

* {{Iconic Item}} / [[NiceHat Cool Headband]]: Early on in her career Lights would wear a brightly-colored headband; however, she no longer wears the headband nowadays.

** For those who are wondering, the full lyrics from the middle-eight of "Ice" are as follows

--> '''Lights:''' Looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorry, it's a little late but you know I just want you to be happy, what I gotta say to make you let me get away with it this time? I know you're upset and that your happy just to sit and hate me, but I'll make a bet that you'd be better to forget about me, even better yet I'll let a little light melt the [[ShoutOut ice, ice baby!]]

* AnAesop: The song "Everybody Breaks A Glass" seems like it's meant to convey the message of "Hey, nobody's perfect, so don't sweat your imperfections."

* SympathyForTheDevil: In her episode four of her "Captain Lights" adventures, her fictional self expresses pity for "those who sought to silence others, preferring quiet obedience to creative expression." (Much like the villain of the story, Lotar.)
