* {{Crossplayer}}: Played with. Shannon is usually dressed as a male character in the title cards, but that's not too surprising because the franchise has a surplus of those in principal roles. It moreso comes into play with the ''Days'' and ''K-Pop Smarts'' cards with Jake wearing outfits for women. Really it has more to do with Shannon's favourite characters in media often being men and Jake's often being women. The topic was discussed near the start of ''Birth by Sleep'' when Shannon recounted how she didn't initially know who to draw them as since Jake wasn't familiar with anyone and Shannon wasn't interested in putting herself in Aqua's outfit...but she did want to put on Xehanort's.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: A big part of the show's humor is reinterpreting characters based on looks or context cues, for example:
** Xaldin is hot for Beast, and his efforts center around seducing him (in BBS) and getting a three way with Belle (KH2).
** Mickey Mouse sees himself as Riku's foster father. Mostly because Mickey is pretty blasé in canon when Sora risks his life, but whenever Riku runs off or is in danger he gets panicky and wants to run after him.
** Queen Minnie is a low key despotic ruler. In BBS, after committing a few crimes, she exiles Pete to be imprisoned ''in an empty void'', and Jake and Shanon joke that King Mickey signed off on that Executive Order.

* EntertaininglyWrong: A lot of the fun of the podcast comes from Jake trying to understand the story he's being told and formulating theories based on knowledge that often won't be fully expanded on until later games. An early example from the first episodes has Jake hear how Riku is swallowed by the darkness, followed immediately by Sora's pulling the Keyblade from the darkness, and posits the question "Is ''Riku'' the Keyblade?" This is proven wrong when Riku becomes a major character in the story not too long after. Even when these guesses are wrong, Shannon often concedes that the ideas Jake suggests are the kinds of things ''Kingdom Hearts'' probably ''would'' do.
