Shout Out / Luz Clawthorne

General

• The series' "seasons" are outlined as "books", which is how the seasons from Avatar: The Last Airbender are referred to.
• As a Running Gag, Luz often refers to Amity as "Little Miss Perfect", which is the name of the fan animatic dedicated to the latter.
• Puck Goodfellow the Fae is based off the character from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
• The last name of Skara's family, Brooke, is a nod to her voice actress, Kimberly Brooks.
  • Same goes for Amelia in a sense: her last name is Regal, a bit off from Eden Riegel.
  • Cat's name and design are based on the storyboard artist Catherine Harman. Cat's last name in Luz Clawthorne? Harwitch.
• The rap battle at the end of the "What If" chapter was inspired by this animatic.
• Anytime Luz's enemies piss her off enough, she declares she'll kick their asses in retribution.

Chapter 58: The Ballad of Eda (Part 1)

• One of the ghosts unleashed by the ghost ball is rather friendly and asks Kikimora to be his friend.
• The Noodle Incident regarding the cocktail waitress is based off this scene of Bewitched, which Word of God says fits because Geist is based off of Uncle Arthur.

• There's a BATT with a name that's Spanish for a number who harbors a hatred towards Lilith since she was the leader of the Emperor's Coven and one of Luz's friends' dads joins the BATT's to protect his child.

• The movie that Eda and Angel watch together at the beginning of the chapter is John Carpenter's The Thing (1982).
• Emily's palisman is a flying monkey, which were previously confirmed to exist.
• Like the last part, it contains a few nods to A Blight on Bonesborough: the BAT with the Spanish number name turns out to be a basilisk who escaped the program, its hatred towards Lilith is because she headed the revival of its species. Meanwhile, Owlbert senses Eda's in trouble and interferes with his rider's chances of winning the Gland Prix and the parent of Luz's friend tries to escape after the failed raid only to be captured by Terra Snapdragon and arrested. Plus, the coven captain is named Wolffe, after her voice actress, Fryda Wolff.

  • Upon seeing Emily's body and outfit for the duel, Luz asks if she's going for the "She-Hulk" look.
  • What's Luz's answer when Emily asks if she's forfeiting the duel? "I could do this all day," the iconic line of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She even mimics Cap's habit of taking a fighting stance!

Chapter 62: Prelude to War (Part 3)

• While facing Gus and Boscha, Cooker uses a Blight Industries Abomizooka, a nod to the meatball bazooka Chef Hatchet has been using ever since Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.
• Along with Butters, Expys of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny from South Park appear and the "They killed Kenny!" gag is used.
