- Australian Accent: The Magpei are a blatant parody of the broadest possible Australian accent. Note that the author is Australian, so Anthony's lines like, "They're just...just so annoying," are tongue-in-cheek.[Eyyyy, EYYYY! Waddaya think YOU'RE doin 'ere?!]
[Floatin' up to our island, ey? No WINGS, ey? Flamin' ground bound chumps, EY?]
[Whattarya lookin' at, MATE? Think you’re all special, lookin' in every direction at once, you insect-y BUG thing? Come up 'ere and I'll show you who's special, MATE!]
[You drongos think you're gonna be welcome up on OUR island? You better think again! Ey? EYYYYYYY?!] - Word of God: The story was inspired by So I'm a Spider, So What?, but without the extraordinarily rapid growth and apotheosis of later chapters.I just felt that my favourite part of that novel was the start, where she explores the Labyrinth and tries to survive. I thought, "What if the whole novel had been like that?"
