## Trivia

* *CRiTORA: abnormal* was originally going to focus on a different Mighty Trio - **Osmehel Solsym**, **Darrell Halostorm**, and **Ingrid Sprinkandle** - working together to escape the Abnormal District while dealing with a lethal permanent V-CRiTORA known as **[ERROR SCRAMBLED NAME]** (later revealed to be Yolky) who slashes and deletes any CRiTORA she sees upon sight. However, due a brief falling out between Daydreaming Birdie and LastyGhost in Late 2022, as well as the initial concept being too dark for the *CRiTORA* series in general, it was cancelled. Once Birdie and Lasty reunited, *CRiTORA: abnormal* was brought back because, in LastyGhost's words, "was too amazing to leave in the dust."
	+ Osmehel, Darrell, and Ingrid have since been redesigned as LastyGhost characters.
* The novel was on hold from May 10th, 2023, to Mid-June 2023 due to a failed attempt from LastyGhost to focus on  *Fugitive Eagleton.*
* Daydreaming Birdie was added to the credits on Quotev from Chapter 2 onwards.
* Bunsen and Nuzzie are the only CRiTORA of the Base Seven that are mentioned in the story; none of them make an appearance.
* The Mighty Trio and Galileo are named after famous astronomers.
	+ Kepler is named after Johannes Kepler.
	+ Isaac is named after Isaac Newton.
	+ Caroline is named after Caroline Herschel.
	+ Galileo is named after Galileo Galilei.
* In honor of the story's release, LastyGhost composed  a Neo-Remix of Imagine Dragons' *Birds*. It was released along with Chapter 10 and is intended as a resume of the story.
* Throughout the story, there are several mentions of a CRiTORA who ended up in the Abnormal District prior to the events of the series. In the Requiem chapter, this is revealed to be Queen Creatophage.
