Listed by Item

Caged Immortality (+Recolors) is a Vocaloid reference to Oliver and any resemblance it might have to Clear from DMMD has been deemed coincidence.


Cheshire Grin & Tea Time and all other Alice in Wonderland will not be placed in anything but Alice in Wonderland. Sorry but unless there's more to the pose than just arms or what not I don't see it.

Deadly Damsel Hair (+Recolors) is a Street Fighter reference, specifically to the character Cammy. Any similarities to Jinx from League of Legends has been deemed coincidence. Also to note, the item was released in the rig "Strong Upper Cut". A rig dedicated to video game fighter styles.


Deerly Beloved (Wiki) is no longer under Mahoutsukai no Yome (The Ancient Magus' Bride) because it is more likely a coincidence and not an actual reference. This artist has been known to do original works. Unless there is irrefutable proof it will be staying here.

Deity of Ossidian (+Recolors) is an original Gaia creation. Any similarities it may have to the video game Undertale has been deemed coincidence.


[KINDRED] Gege the Rooster is a nice rooster but I won't be adding it for Animaniacs because, coincidence.


Grimm's Anatomy Its name seems like a subtle nod to the series "Grey's Anatomy" but seeing as that's all it has going for it, I will not be adding it to the list.


Hardboiled Heartbreaker - It's a generic detective story reference based on film noir and other such movies of that time. I will not be placing it under anything such as Casablanca as to me that's too specific.

Rejam

...As a woman-loving woman myself I didn't think anyone would perceive this as being an attempt to perpetuate a negative stereotype and I'm truly sorry if that's how it came across. I am here for all kinds of F/F pairings! I happen to just... really like butch ladies (or, well, all ladies, but I do have a soft spot especially for butch ladies, lol), and wanted to play with the tropey story of the traditionally-male detective and the film noir femme fatale a little bit, while still making an item that was functionally gender-neutral for users biggrin

Huntress Cinder (+Recolors) is RWBY and was made to resemble Blake Belladonna.


Knight ___ Series is Wedding Peach, not Magic Knight Rayearth.
Passionate Knight Venus | Amorous Knight Isis | Romantic Knight Aphrodite


Lestelle (+Recolors) is a Bravely Default reference specifically for (Vampire Class)(Lester DeRosso = Hair). Any resemblance to Attack on Titan has been deemed coincidence.


Like Daisies or any of the recolors are not references to anything.


Lollirot Witch is a user recolor. Any resemblance it may have to Rin Kagamine of Vocolid is coincidence.


Lonely Waifu is a Gaia original item. Any similarities within the item or description has been deemed coincidence. Confirmed by the artist Natsube however the hair is referencing a piece of hers found here. Original Post
PS: It is also known that the description uses the name "Flipper" but seeing the genuinely vague name that it is and given the subject matter of the item I will not be referencing it with the television show as it is yet another coincidence.
Also there are Body Pillows also known as "dakimakura" on this site and this is hardly the first one.


Object of Affection (+Recolors) & Baby, Oni-ly You (+Recolors) are references CoeyKuhn Tumblr Art, not Gumi.

Plaiddy Issues is a pun on "Daddy Issues" and not much of a "reference" so I won't be adding it.


Puppy Love (+Recolors) is a Nintendogs and Neko Atsume reference. Any similarities to Undertale have been deemed coincidence.


SBX and recolors also references Rainbow Starbright as well as re-imagining older children shows into something more cutting edge.
SBX | SBX-2 | SBX Remake


Shear Whimsy (+Recolors) is a Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc reference to (Toko Fukawa/Genocider/Monokuma) any resemblance to Kill la Kill has been deemed coincidence.


Substitute Soul (+Recolors) is a pure Bleach reference item and the over the shoulder sash has been deemed suitable for Sesshoumaru cosplay.


Trick or Treat Tote is a Halloween Holiday reference. The candycorn horns are coincidence as the item was released before Homestuck series.


We Hunger (Collection) & We Thirst (Collection) are references to the anime series Madoka and can be found on page 1 of the guide. I will not be adding this to any other section. Thank you.

(speaking of i might have one. Kumahime is supposed to be a reference to Lulu from Yuri Kuma Arashi. Episode 4 is about the best I got since the hair and crown are similar but the dress not so much. err kinda picture. Saw it mentioned in the GCD once)
------------------------
Subscribed.

On the subject of items needing a reference: Big Bad Bossu. This one has been driving me crazy. At first I thought it was Zangief from Street fighter, but there is too much about this item that doesn't match.
~ The face and torso is so perfect a match (even the scars match up) it makes me wonder why they didn't make it exact. All you'd have to do for the hair is lop the ponytail off, but neither the Agape or sketchbook does a thing. The tights almost make me wonder if they were doing it for making such an item unisex (as the torso does give us femmes a bra).

I do believe Zangief was the intent but maybe it came out before they were being so terribly blatant with their references (May 2011 according to the virtual details) . ~

--------------------------------------
I could be mistaken, but I do believe that Sheep Angelique could be a reference to Muffy from Animal Crossing :3

-----------------------------------
mUltipants- This was another April's fools item that was missing.
Classic Marcella - Raggedy Ann
Little Drummer - The Little Drummer Boy
Southtown Ghost Story - Alice Riley, the first woman hung in Savannah, Georgia.

Not sure if you are going to be covering myth/folklore/urban legends. These three are very specific.
Weeping Wanderer - La Llorona
Sunken Dutchman - The Flying Dutchmen
Tale of the Impetuous God - Shinto storm-god Susanoo. The flavor text is about the myth of how he slain Yamato No Orochi.

--------------------------
Summer Shoe Collection is a hilarious reference to The Liam Show

-------------------------------
I could be completely wrong, but I think that Sheperdess de l'Agneau is a reference to the nursery rhyme Little Bo Peep. I'd attach a source, but there isn't a specific costume. Typically she is seen in a dress with a bonnet, basket, and shepherd's crook.

-----------------------------------------
I thought I was bonkers XD I forgot the name of the anime/manga so I had to try and find it to make sure. Albeit the color is off but the All seeing watcher the goggles are like this character from Sket Dance
I thought that one was a reference to this dude, bad pun and all.

Though that same style of goggles seem to appear quite often in anime/manga now that I've seen another with them

Why I actually came here today:
Experimental Interplanetary Shuttlepod
References Farscape.
The main character and pilot of this shuttle frequently has rouge interstellar phenomena trouble, as per description.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7e/Farscape_season_1_episode_1.jpg
A picture of the craft; all wormholes are that brilliant blue color in the series.

------------------------------
oh, I did some more researching and found that Obsidian Shoe Collection, Dusk Shoe Collection, Chocolate Shoe Collection, and Dark Summer Shoe Collection ALL reference the Liam Show's song Shoes. It's not just one item. Oops.

----------------------------------------
mUltipants- This was another April's fools item that was missing.
Classic Marcella - Raggedy Ann
Little Drummer - The Little Drummer Boy
Southtown Ghost Story - Alice Riley, the first woman hung in Savannah, Georgia.

Weeping Wanderer - La Llorona
Sunken Dutchman - The Flying Dutchmen
Tale of the Impetuous God - Shinto storm-god Susanoo. The flavor text is about the myth of how he slain Yamato No Orochi.

Wouldn't Myth/Folklore/Urban Legend also fit under Novels, Literature, Stories, Fables and Poetry? In the end all things are stories so it seems like it would be a little difficult to be able to truly divide the two into their own sections all the while trying to decide which is which. At least that's my interpretation...

I have Sunken Dutchman under that section and referenced as The Rime of the Ancient Mariner as the description for the item is a direct quote from there.

-----------------------
Ears of Enlightenment, Holo-Grid Wall Tile - Star trek. The Ears are probably one of the first reference item Gaia made. The description to the Holo-Grid is what cements it.

Prince of Thieves - Ali Baba and the 40 thieves, though could also be listed under One Thousand and One Nights .

Witchy- Wizard of oz

Galahad Of Templar - King Arthur. Has recolor.

i'm 90% sure some of the crystal witch recolors hint at steven universe. crystal witch opal is tagged with "pearl" so i'll include that one too

Crystal Witch
Garnet | Amethyst | Opal (Source)


--------------------------------
Also, Cloud the Bison (at least the hair) has to me always looked like a reference to Weather Report from JoJo

http://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemsearch/?search=generations

The new male swimwear in the RIG released today have Kuroko's Basketball references.

----------------------------
Street Ignition is a reference to the anime Initial D.

----------------------------
~ Hmm... I am wondering is there a possibility of the Drome Egg being a Jurassic Park Reference? I mean making Dino pets from ancient DNA and the dinosaur is a raptor (not to mention also looks like a bird, though that just may be because it's a raptor). Just posting that as a possibility. ^_^ ~

-------------------------
It might be a stretch to say this but, from the moment I saw Crane Warrior, It made me think of Tsurumaru Kuninaga from Touken Ranbu

-------------------------
ouo Would you like to add this to your list for
One Piece?
Shishi the Pirate Monkey
In reference to Luffy's laughter
also "I'm going to become the king of the pirate."  

[ladykayra]

page 19

Not sure if you have this one:
Black Jack
Yorick's Curse


The hair and scars reminds me of him I could be wrong though. sweatdrop

Well, while I have to agree that the hair color is similar to the BlackJack character it seems to be the only things that sort of matches. Black and white hair styles aren't too uncommon, especially in animation. If I had to say it was a reference I would go with Shakespeare's play Hamlet. From the name, type of item and description I would have to say specifically it is going for the character of Yorick He's only referred to by Prince Hamlet in the story but in life he was a jester.

------------------

New Reference Themed LQI is here!

Added:

Mario
Angry Dragon (Bowser)

it's actually a reference to bowser jr, i think. mentions siblings in the description and the hairstyle + clown car almost mirror his ssb art.

hey so i could be wrong but i recently came across the meowlody items and i think it's inspired by cyan from show by rock. just wanted to put that out ;w;

------------------------------
Hi! Stumbled across this item a while ago. It seems to be a reference to Goosebumps books. I looked around here and can't seem to find it so I hope I didn't just miss it!
The Chilly Willies  

[ladykayra]

page 20


Afterschool Sweet Days is a reference to Tsumugi Kotobuki from K-ON! It also has two recolors.

Sweet Swim Team Dreamboat is actually a ref. to Kisumi Shigino from Free!

Also I think 'Throwing Knives' might actually be a reference to Dio's Knife Throw from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

-----------------------------
Not sure if someone already mentioned this but Mine Mine Mine is a reference to a song called Me!Me!Me! (by Teddyloid).

Not really sure if I can link it, it's kinda nsfw... =/

-------------------------
Added:

One Piece

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet?
Item: Wish Upon the Fallen
Series: Gintama
Character(s): Sakata Gintoki (Also known as Shiroyasha, meaning White Demon)
Character(s): Tsukuyo for the smoking pose

----------------------------------  

[ladykayra]

page 21

Breezy Hearts description a ref to the Covergirl brand?

------------------------------
I could be wrong but I think Tree of Dolls might be a reference to the Ghost Adventures episode Island of Dolls, where they were all hanging from trees.
Here's a source
The island is already listed in real life locations on page 8. That episode wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the real Island existing for as long as it has.

-----------------------------
Sherwood Outlaw - Robin Hood
Song of the Nightingale - The Nightingale by Hans Christian Anderson

-------------------------
I always thought Admirable Antagonist was a reference to Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender- between the hair, swords, and scars.

------------------------
I didn't see it on the list, but I think norsemans expedition also references The video game skyrim 3nodding the pose adventurer's doom is a reference to a line of dialogue from the game. ("I used to be an adventurer like you but then I took an arrow to the knee" )

technically also an internet meme as well...I think anyway.

-------------------------
Enforcer Riot Mask is a Half Life reference. Its design is based off the masks of the overwatch metrocops, and the item's text is a popular meme spawned from the second game.

While looking this up, I noticed that the Cy-Board Snow Board looked a lot like the Overwatch Elite

Does art & name for the CI/RIG logos count? Because the logo and name for this month's new CI is definitely based on a Philippine reality talent competition, Starstruck. Yes, it even has the same name.

Here's the logo:

And a link to the wiki page: Starstruck

I guess this can be classified in the music, artist, & celebrities section.

------------------------------
I've searched all the pages in the thread but I can't seem to find the source on Hanayome being a Fire Emblem item? I do not recall a single character/npc looking like the item off the top of my head aside from Olivia if she had blue hair? Would you mind giving me a source on that item? I'm deathly curious since I'm a huge fan of the series, it's my favorite series, but my mind is pulling a blank on this.

~ When looking it up it appears to me to be a class you can have in awakening know as the bride class for female characters only of course. I didn't really have that much trouble finding it. ^__^ ~

*This post has been brought to you by Baby Fafnir.

---------------------------------
(I didn't see it on the list so I'll mention this) Blood huntress is a reference to castlevania, It also references some of the characters, the hair and owl I think are based off ofMaria Renard and the first pose of the arm mod I'm assuming is based off the Aria of Sorrow cover. And of course the backgrounds dracula's castle. (I'm sure there's more but that's all I recognize)

I'm pretty sure the ribbon candy items are a reference to Flonne from the Disgaea games, but they haven't made it in her colors, I don't think :s The top looks a lot like hers, though, so it might be worth mentioning.
