Chapter 1: Mistakes Had Been Made

-Jacques was inspired by Jack Rabbit, Rhoda and Jesse's son in an alternate universe. Jacques was supposed to be a Grim-like dog that came to her time of need like an animal guide.

-Ronnie was inspired by Rose Rabbit, Rhoda and Jesse's daughter in the same au.

Chapter 2: Damages Had Been Done

-Once again, Rhoda's song came from the opening theme song of "Crazy Ex Girlfriend"

-In here, Rhoda liking jasmine tea because "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" mentioned Roger Rabbit like drinking jasmine tea (from what I can remember, I tried to research it but I can't find the site where I read the book before) from his favorite kettle.

-The DeGreasy Sisters came from "Who Censored Roger Rabbit"'s The DeGreasy Brothers. In the book, they're Roger's boss and one of them dated Jessica after she left Roger.

Chapter 3: Feelings Had Been Forgotten

-In the prequel script of WFRR, "Roger Rabbit: Toon Platoon", Roger's backstory is a Superman backstory parody. He grew up in a Kansas Farm with his human parents.

-Rhoda being a handyman was inspired by the Roger Rabbit comics where one of his hobbies are inventing stuff.

-Rhoda not being able to toon properly because she was too distracted by relationship troubles came from, of course, WFRR.

-Director Minkoff was an Easter Egg in "Roger Rabbit's Trail-Mix Up"

Chapter 4: Secrets Had Been Suppressed

-None… or is there? (Seriously, don't look for it. You got better use for your time.)

Chapter 5: Regrets Had Been Reinforced

-Once again, song was inspired by the mother part of the song, "The Mariner's Revenge Song" by the talented Decemberists.

- "-a love that is everywhere and filling her" Shape of Water references, anybody?

-Another obvious Disney reference, "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from The Little Mermaid.

-In one of the Superman comics where his parents died early (making him more punchier and asking questions later), Martha and Jonathan Kent died in a car crash. Similar to what happened to Rhoda's parents.

-In the movie, Fantasia, there is a scene of Bald Mountain where Satan crawled out of and turned shadows into every demon imaginable. So in this chapter, Rhoda did faced her demons: her fear of being assaulted again, Jared and her remorse and self-hate after the death of her parents.

-In the WFRR movie, the Weasels "died" but they were still in this plane of existence but Dip erases toons from ever existing again.

Chapter 6: Dreams Had Been Dashed

-Song is from "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" in Disney's Cinderella (1950)

-If Ash is the guy version of Cinderella, Frost White is to Snow White of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937) as Aurelius is to Aurora of Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959).

-Frost White's merry whistling while the animals were cleaning was from Snow White's song, "Whistle While You Work"

Chapter 7: However…

-Jared is indeed a rake. Rake used to be a slang for womanizing in the late 17th century.

-Sadly (or perhaps, gladly), none after.

Chapter 8: Resilience Can Be Remembered

-In "Who Censored Roger Rabbit", the song "When You Wish Upon A Star" is Jessica and Roger's song. When Roger tried to win her back, he played it on the piano to make her remember of their happier times.

-21st Lump Street is a reference to a certain movie ;)

-In the WCRR book, the other DeGreasy brother wasn't very bright and used his size to intimidate others.

-Toon Tonic was mentioned in "Who P-p-p-plugged Roger Rabbit" where Roger became human (not a humanoid toon). I haven't read the entire thing but someone told me that Roger was described to make a very ugly human.

-Rhoda Rabbit figuring out the case is a callback to the Roger Rabbit comics "Who Framed Rick Flint" where he solved a criminal case by his own.

Chapter 9: Solace Can Be Sought

-Toon Police as bulldodgs is a reference to the Roger Rabbit comics.

-Jared being part of the movie, Gone with the Wind, is a reference to "Who P-p-p-plugged Roger Rabbit".

-In the plot of "Who P-p-p-plugged Roger Rabbit", Roger hired Eddie to put a stop on the rumors about Jessica having affairs left and right. Along the way, he drank Toon Tonic that made him human. Jessica flirted with him, not knowing he was Roger. (At least this was told to me by a friend.)

-In "Who Censored Roger Rabbit", Roger likes his jasmine tea with orange.

Chapter 10: Felicity Can Be Found

-The song sang by Penny is "Is You or Is You Ain't My Baby", a 1944 song.

-Jacques taking a shine on Coco is related to Jack being Coco friend. Ronnie liking Penny is related to Rose being Penny's friend.

-Rhoda and Jesse getting tangled up with the leashes is a 101 Dalmatian reference with Roger and Anita.

-Penny Boop's "boop-oop-a-doop" is Betty Boop's catchphrase.

-If you wanna see how Penny and Coco look like, check Donutsforlife in DeviantartDOTcom. She also made art of Jesse, Rhoda, Jack and Rose. Don't forget to like, comment and follow her for more!

Chapter 11: Experiences Can Be Enlightened

-Betty Boop used to be an anthropomorph french poodle in 1930 until she was drawn as a completely humanoid toon in 1931.

-Cole the parrot is named after Nat King Cole, a jazz pianist and vocalist.

-Koko the Clown came from the age of silent toons. He can talk eventually in the more modern cartoons. In Donutsforlife's profile, she and her family use both French sign language and American sign language.

-Coco's line, "He's poison! But Aunt Rhoda think he's Benny Crocker" is a reference to the WFRR movie's RK Maroon's line, "Look, Valiant! His wife's poison, but he thinks she's Betty Crocker."

Chapter 12: Fallacies Can Be Faced

-One of the biggest hurt "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" Jessica has done to Roger was saying outloud that he has no talent.

Chapter 13: Clarity Can Be Caught

-All the symbolism that you can think of in Rhoda's fevered thoughts ala Wizard in Oz and Alice in Wonderland.

Chapter 14: Resolve Can Be Renewed

-Family, friend or lover, being in a relationship with a toxic person makes the person play a role in a codependent relationship.

-In this chapter, I can't help but noticed that Rhoda and Jesse won't stop touching each other. I dunno, it just felt natural to write them that way when they're together in this story.

-Also I tried my best that Jesse isn't treated as Rhoda's psychiatrist or something, but more as a friend who had been there and could help.

Chapter 15: Freedom Can Be Fought

-The tango scene was foreshadowed in Chapter 5 where Rhoda hallucinated her parents singing and they mention, "as you face the dance of strife".

-The tango scene music and dance was inspired by "A. Piazzolla. Libertango" in Youtube.

-The lyrics in this chapter is from 1952 Blue Tango.

Chapter 16: And You Can Be Whole Again

-Dr. Edgar Wood has appeared in one of my fics but as a psychologist as Rhoda's friend. In here, they have a more professional relationship as patient and doctor.

-Ash holding his broken forearm glass bracelet like a shiv was inspired by Cinderella in Wreck-It Ralph 2.

-Ash's tragic backstory can be explored in Cinderella's past in Youtube video, "Cinderella: Stop Blaming the Victim" by The Take.

-To those who don't know, Leroy Hyena is the male binary swap of Lena Hyena. In Roger Rabbit ToonTown, she and Jessica Rabbit are good friends. In this fic, Leroy had to tell Jesse to make his move before Rhoda asks someone else out.

-After they got together, Rhoda and Jesse dated for a few months before Rhoda rented her cottage and began living with Jesse. After many months of living together, they eventually tied the knot.

-If you want a Roger/Jessica version of "The Old Pieces and the New", simply replace Rhoda with Roger, Jesse with Jessica and Jared with Jezebel in your head. Lol.

-If you read the chapter titles, there's a message ;)
