- Both Mr. Gladly and his girlfriend White Fairy are based on people Wildbow knew in real life. Mr. Gladly specifically was based on a "Mr. G" that Wildbow had as a teacher.<ref>White Fairy and Mr. Gladly are actually based on people I know. It was a head-trip, because WF was someone I'd known since I was young, and I was talking with her- she asked me about my teacher Mr. G, and I gave my honest opinion.
Turned out she was dating him and was considering breaking up with him.
But the headtrip was me having to recontextualize the guy in my head to be someone with an existence beyond school, when he was just such a shallow human being and a poor teacher. - Wildbow on Discord (Screenshot)</ref>
