Wait. I made Mindfang into a virgin. I MADE MINDFANG INTO A VIRGIN. See, things like that usually don\'t hit me when I\'m just writing them down. I have to actually think it over to get the implications.


* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The costumes that the ancestors (of the original pre-scratch trolls) have generally get increasingly outragious as it goes up the hemospectrum, with Kurloz and Cronus's ancestors practically wearing nothing but in rather abstract ways. Then it ends with Meenah's ancestor, whose sling bikini is actually pretty normal compared to the rest of them. The fact that it wasn't described as prose-y as the rest of the outfits hammers this in.



* ArtisticLicenceGeography: For one thing, the author thinks that Mt. Fuji is in Hawaii.



** John was initially a hyperacive idiot, which Jane's guardian Pop eventually became an exaggerated version of. Sometime around chapters 3 or 4 this dropped a bit and his signs of toying around with the other characters began to show. He's still a little dorky, though, as evidenced by his FruedianSlip in China.

** Rose playing an MMORPG along with John and Jade seems a bit unusual considering her cold personality later on. Though unlike the others, it ''does'' show as early as chapter 2 when she doesn't take Gamzee spilling Faygo on her rug lightly.
** Dave almost completely switched placed with John in terms of character. By the beginning, ''he'' was the rational one, and he reacts appropriately when John holds him in front of a bear. From season two onward, it would be the other way around. (''Dave'' would be more likely do something to endanger ''John'', who would be the one to end their now-hypothetical relationship.)

** In chapter 1, Vriska managed to cheat Karkat into losing strip poker. She also puts up a decent fight against the Housestucks, and she even gets a say in ''starting'' the fight. Considering her ButtMonkey status later on, and her RunningGag in season two of objecting to the Alpha-troll hiring, this is unusual.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Intended. The cover (seen on the page image) does not depict anything that happens in the story so far, and based on the plans for this fic's future, it's unlikely it ever will. Sburb is not even mentioned in the story, thus getting rid of the Jack, Skaia, and God Tier outfits part. Not even ''nods'' to the God Tier costumes show up, as the original outfits of the Rainbow Crew members weren't described until their uniforms, which certainly have nothing to do with the powerups. It also shows John and Vriska near the bottom, as with the in-story summary talking about John/Vriska being one of the final pairings. While John ''is'' a major character with a lot of screentime, (this is pretty much the only thing accurate about the image) Vriska is just a side character ButtMonkey who so far has not even had a ShipTease moment with John (which is an achievement considering the large heaps of Weird Romance Shit), and [[spoiler:''Hecksing'' [[InterfaceSpoiler (and the tags and the opening warning)]] gives away that John's final partner will be Jade.]]



* DoubleStandard: This story goes to such a point in averting these that it's implied that the culture of the ''Crconikals'' world is changed so that even it doesn't have them. Which is unusual, considering [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale Seras and Carl]] in ''Hecksing''. To give one example, both sexes seem to be equally pressured into having sex, evident by Carl's implied AManIsNotAVirgin shtick back in HUC and how [[spoiler:Vriska is ''horrified'' to discover that Mindfang is a virgin]] in chapter 12 of HHC.



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first season had no concrete plot connecting the four chapters, unlike at least seasons two, three, four, and likely five. It also had very vague and brief references to class and aspect powers, like Roxy simply voiding out Doc Scratch's vision of the heroes. This has yet to be brought up again. In a similar vein it's also somewhat unusual how the first chapter lacks the Rainbow Crew treehouse and even moreso that in the second chapter Rose's own house is being used as a base until Fin and Trace's invasion wrecks it up, seeing as the treehouse will then become an established main location. And speaking of that, it's unusual that the first two chapters have scenes in the human's house ''without'' any mentions of their guardians, especially, again, chapter two taking place in Rose's house.

* FanDisservice: The HotterAndSexier elements are intended to be pretty jarring, because of how much StylisticSuck "{{Fanservice}}" is being shoved down your throat. Especially how the story grinds to a halt in two different chapters to go on about the ancestor's very impractical outfits.



** BarelyThereSwimwear: Along with the swimsuits of the guardians, Fuchsian's (Meenah's ancestor) "sling bikini."



** WalkingSwimsuitScene: All eight guardians introduced. None of the ancestors out of the half introduced really have this, bar Darkleer if you want to count it.

* FourLinesAllWaiting: Averted. While there are many, many subplots, (Kanaya's revenge on Alucard, anything side characters give to the Rainbow Crew, Homer's story line, mysteries such as the poem in [[spoiler:Waterwraith]]'s cave, etc) most of them completely take backseat to whatever the Rainbow Crew as a whole is dealing with, and they are almost always dealt with one at a time.



* GagBoobs: Jake's mother is probably the worst offender of the entire ''Crconikals'' continuity, with Rip Van Winkle from ''Hecksing'' as her ''only'' potential competition. She managed to induce complete MarshmallowHell on ''seven people at the same time'', engulfing them all completely between her brests.

* HotterAndSexier: Do ''not'' let the fact that the cover art looks like it came straight out of the rather tame (sexual-wise) ''Sweet Jade and Hella John'', or the fact that SJAHJ was one of the author's previous installments. This ''is'' a little more out-there than the norm for SBIG, and it's even pointed out in the opening AN. Parodied with the citizens of the world. Hawaii consists of nudists, and then there's the reporter in chapter 4. ''Hecksing'' didn't shy away from "hot" background characters itself -- the dancers in Brazil -- but that was one of the only moments, [[OrwellianRetcon it was added retroactivley]], and it didn't go in as much detail about it.

** More meta example: John and Jade's first ''Crconikals'' appearance was in ''Hecksing'', where they [[spoiler:and their OppositeSexClone[=s=] (of which WordOfGod said that a later chapter of HHC will elaborate on)]] were the only ''Homestuck'' characters to appear or even be mentioned. There was a fake-author's note about Homestuck saying that "It not all trolls," and yet in the fake-author's notes of chapter 5 he mentions that bringing up the trolls first is a good way to hook in readers and that those works that didn't would just get people skipping them.

** Latula's way to "proove" that she is a GamerGirl is by completely exposing her breasts. (The event where that happened was SFW.) John, in a panic, calls her naked by mistake -- [[InsistentTerminology prompting her to tell him what "naked" really was]] by actually ''getting naked''.

: :This is a [=SBURBless=]/[=Post-SBURB=] AU (It says it's the latter but if this fan fic even remotley follows the rules of the comic then it should be the former), which by itself wipes out the entire first sentence. Doc Scratch is the "evil villain," while Jack isn't even mentioned. As of the latest chapter, John/Jane is the current John pairing, [[spoiler:But HUC's epilogue mentions that John and Jade will get married by the end of the events of both fan fics, so John/Vriska will not be a final couple. Neither will Jade/Karkat]]. The narrator and later Kanaya herself comments that she does ''not'' want to jump to another relationship after Edward's death, seriously hindering Rose/Kanaya. [[spoiler:(Until Kanaya finds news about Alucard's death.)]] Chapter 3 hinted Terezi/Dave, but then again it also hinted Terezi/Latula and Terezi/Karkat. As for Eridan's "noone" thing... that's jossed as early as chapter 3. There was a cop chase in the same chapter, which is perhaps the closest thing the summary got right.

* ThePowerOfRock: What Ichigo uses to open portals to Hell.



* ResetButton: Downplayed. [[spoiler:In chapter 12, the trolls begin killing eachother, with only half of them remaining by the time they begin their battle with Death Mecha. However, Pip's ghost makes a return from eight (going purely by chapter number, and not counting season four's ability to be read in any order) chapters ago, and revives the dead ones.]] The downplaying comes from the fact that the characters ''did'' ultimately learn something from this, and it ''did'' stick around to teach them about acceptance or... something like that.



** Doc Scratch's level of knowledge is ''extremely'' inconsistant. To the point where his motivation for killing John, Jade, and Rose's avatars in the MLP: FIM game makes no sense if you think about it.

** Doc Scratch's level of knowledge is ''extremely'' inconsistant. To the point where his motivation for killing John, Jade, and Rose's avatars in the MLP: FIM game MMORPG makes no sense if you think about it.



** Pretty much all of the ancestors only bother wearing clothes in the first place to troll people with how easy it is for them to lose them.



* SurroundedByIdiots:
** Inverted with Doc Scratch, but hardly to the point where it's SurroundedBySmartPeople. While the rest of the Felt seems pretty competant, Scratch is a complete pothead idiot in this fan fic.
** The Rainbow Crew as a whole are a good guy version, as most (but not all) of the people they meet seem to be idiots. [[TakeThat Especially the characters from]] ''Simpsons''.



* ThrowItIn: According to the actual author, almost all of the typoes were actually made by accident, he just doesn't bother correcting ''most'' of them (those he does are usually to make the story still clear, or to reduce frequency). Many of the intended typoes are either "common" spelling mistakes (alot instead of a lot) or RougeAnglesOfSatin intended for humorous effect. This was to give an effect that the story was written by someone who rushed through everything and barely looked back at it, which was partially the case here given the "three days apart each chapte per season" deadlines.

* TookALevelInBadass:
** This was sort of the point of Ichigo's lessons to Rose, Roxy, Eridan, Feferi, and Nepeta, although it served as a dig against fans who generally thought any of those five were weak to begin with.
** Compared to canon, the pre-scratch trolls. Damara and Rufioh at least showed having remarkable abilities in their battle against the Xenomorph, Meenah is the Crew's BadassNormal by a long shot, their fight against Darkhorse was much longer and flashier than the other battles against [[spoiler:Omega Drew Pickles or his minions]] ''and'' it was a more even match (contrast to the post-scratch trolls needing strategy, convenient nitroglycerin, and [[spoiler:Pip reviving everybody]], and both sets of humans getting assistance from their guardians), and Aranea flat-out says that without them, the Crew would stand no chance against Meenah at all.
** [[spoiler:Despite being the same people as them in canon, the ancestors of the original post-scratch trolls are revealed to invert this. They all really lead mundane lives and only shrouded themselves in stories to seem impressive, and they are all implied to be less-than-decent fighters.]]



* TorchesAndPitchforks: The Pikmin interns use these at the beginning of chapter 9.

to:

* TookALevelInJerkass: John and Rose, especially in chapter 14. In chapter 12, [[spoiler:Vriska suddenly becomes evil and kills Tavros for almost no reason (he gets revived, though), and Eridan suddenly stops being a parody/inversion of "desperate Eridan" and rudely kills Feferi (she gets revived too).]]
* TorchesAndPitchforks: The Pikmin interns use these at the beginning of chapter 9. Also, the pitchforks ''[[CriticalResearchFailure glow]]'' for some reason, but not as brightly as the torches.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Chapter 16 was originally going to be short filler. However, after making a decision to not have any cuts in the game (to get rid of the temptation to delay introducing and elaborating on the cast\'s counterparts; heck, in-universe that\'s the point of the game) it\'s probably just going to be filler now. Not short. Not short at all. Possibly shorter than chapter 15, which is pretty long even with the recap unfinished, but still really long. Heck, maybe chapter 17 could be season five\'s most obvious bottle chapter? I can\'t think of much to write for it.


** Chapters 9 and 10 essentially make up an entire bottle ''mini season''. Chapter 9 was rather short, only mainly focused on StylisticSuck character development for the Rainbow Crew, and half its plot was taken from the ''Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''. 10 was also short and half of it was Weird Romance Shit.

Sometime around chapters 3 or 4 this dropped a bit and his signs of toying around with the other characters began to show. He's still a little dorky, though, as evidenced by his FruedianSlip in China.

** This story has a habit of disrespecting Aranea. Rose holds a gun up to her when she first finds the Rainbow Crew for breaking a television,''she'' has to do something for ''them'' before she can join (for all other Alpha trolls it's the other way around, depending on how you count Meenah), and in chapter 13 she's the only character to not make a direct hit on Darkhorse and gets stomped on the groin several times.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Specifically the [=B1=] group, as they are the only group that have all recieved real focus in the first season. While almost everybody was out of character, ''what'' character they had in place changed. This does not count the attempted CharacterRerailment in season four, or at least what was gradually happening. (For cases like Nepeta's.)
** John was initially a hyperacive idiot, which Jane's guardian Pa eventually became an exaggerated version of. Sometime around chapters 3 or 4 this dropped a bit and his signs of toying around with the other characters began to show. He's still a little dorky, though, as evidenced by his FruedianSlip in China.
** Jade used to suffer from a basic CannotSpitItOut, and had a bit of a running gag of trying to see if she can get John to say if he likes her or not. Geno confesses for her midway through chapter 4, John openly says he's not interested, and the John/Jade dynamic quickly becomes a lot more complicated.
** Rose playing an MMORPG along with John and Jade seems a bit unusual considering her cold personality later on. Though unlike the others, it ''does'' show as early as chapter 2 when she doesn't take Gamzee spilling Faygo on her rug lightly.
** Dave almost completely switched placed with John in terms of character. By the beginning, ''he'' was the rational one, and he reacts appropriately when John holds him in front of a bear. From season two onward, it would be the other way around. (''Dave'' would be more likely do something to endanger ''John'', who would be the one to end their now-hypothetical relationship.)
** Jake's initial quirks were limited to dropping a random form of alternate speech or slang into what he says. This vanishes before season two, and it takes a while before his sometimes great, sometimes horrible social skills kick in. Between then, he's just a ButtMonkey, which is almost redundant considering how Vriska's role in that is pretty constant. Aside from....
** Pretty much the only thing Nepeta did was knock on doors in the first three seasons. And thicken out love x-drangles. By season four, she inexplicably TookALevelInBadass (moreso than Ichigo's other four students, whom this trope seemed to invoke on.) and practically merged with her ''Sweet Jade and Hella John'' self.
** In chapter 1, Vriska managed to cheat Karkat into losing strip poker. She also puts up a decent fight against the Housestucks, and she even gets a say in ''starting'' the fight. Considering her ButtMonkey status later on, and her RunningGag in season two of objecting to the Alpha-troll hiring, this is unusual.
** A case of RealLifeWritesThePlot: Damara becomes a lot more vulgar and mischevious during season two. Season one was written before her canon introduction, and back then the only thing anyone had to go by for her was Handmaid and that she was willing to perform a scratch.
** Aranea was implied to be a bit of a prick early into season two. (Especially when she flat-out tells the Rainbow Crew that they have no chance against Meenah.) This seemed to have dropped completely, and in chapter 13 it's something of a gag that she manages to do next-to nothing against Darkhorse.



* DoorStopper: This is currently the longest work Great Pikmin Fan has on his fanfiction.net page, although many of the other works have comparatively took off (such as ''Total Drama World Tour Rewrite'', which by design must have at least 26 chapters, yet only ''two'' are out right now). And the chapters are considerably longer than that of the rest of SBIG, not counting ''Sweet Jade and Hella John''. To give a comparason, the first chapter of this is about as long as ''Hecksing''[='=]s longest chapter, and while there are a few decreases, it generally only goes ''up'' in length from there.



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first season had no concrete plot connecting the four chapters, unlike at least seasons two, three, and likely four. It also had very vague and brief references to class and aspect powers, like Roxy simply voiding out Doc Scratch's vision of the heroes. This has yet to be brought up again. In a similar vein it's also somewhat unusual how the first chapter lacks the Rainbow Crew treehouse and even moreso that in the second chapter Rose's own house is being used as a base until Fin and Trace's invasion wrecks it up, seeing as the treehouse will then become an established main location.

* TookALevelInDumbass: Inverted with Porrim and John. The former started out as a DumbBlonde parody before reading up on activism and suddenly, inexplicably acting a little more rational. The later [[CharacterizationMarchesOn was]] basically a hyperactive, relationship-hopping idiot before turning more and more into a borderline JerkJock.

Connie will have a few more lines in the story, only less hammy for most of them. She\'ll already make a reappearance in chapter 15, and will be Back For The Finale along with every other not-dead good guy for season seven (actually, just chapters 25 and 26 for her and a few others. Some of them will reappear in all three chapters of the final season). And I\'m thinking of editting Carl Stevens Universe so that when Carl sees her, he\'ll say that she looks familiar. Because in the final season of HHC they\'re supposed to meet eachother during the mass Back For The Finale part.

Added DiffLines:

* KilledOffForReal: Like most of SBIG, this doesn't shy away from killing off heroes and villains at all. The heroes side has [[spoiler:none of the "main" Rainbow Crew, but Geno and Homer have suffered from it]]. Out of the villains, it's easier to list the currect exceptions: [[spoiler:Waterwraith (he just gets slapped by an Onion and currently isn't mentioned again), Doc Scratch (survived every encounter as of chapter 14, though WordOfGod is that he will die in the final season), fellow major members of the Rainbow Crew (usually give HeelFaceTurn[=s=], and this counts Meenah too), Noah (he loses the crown though), the Rainbow Sisters (faught twice, first battle even being a curb-stomp, but nobody saw any reason to kill them off permanently), and Alucard (on the count of already being dead during the first direct fight against him, and his death being offscreen in the events of HHC).]]

I changed the fact that Damara\'s line was censored. And since I\'ve sorta-recently came up with the idea of a gag of Jade walking in on her Pa while he\'s casually saying the fic\'s most NSFW line (you\'ll know it when you see it), this was a good idea.


* CurseCutShort: John at the end of chapter 9, in the "end of episode cutoff" variant. Odd, because this fan fic doesn't shy away from swearing (aside from what Damara wanted to do with John at the beginning of the same chapter.) Subverted in chapter ten after the short Homer intermission, which picks up exactly where John's statement left off.

They are being threatened with death for this, by the way.

It's implied that she just rolls with it.)



** ''Within'' season four is how the B1[=s=] tells about their battle on the bridge:
*** John's story paints himself as a GaryStu[[in-universe]], and he takes credit for most of the battle.
*** Jade's story is supposedly done in the appearance of a children's cartoon, with Zabuza being in ConspicuousCGI. She praises John endlessly, and dresses Dave and Jane (who wasn't originally there, though she does also appear in John's story) as stereotypical prostitutes as they have both either dated John prior or are dating John.
*** Rose's story is told in bland, typoless PurpleProse (Rose doesn't speak clearly in this story, by the way) and, like John's, she mocks everyone else.
*** Dave's story paints ''him'' as a Stu, has a few irrelevant details, everyone fawns over him, and is supposedly a musical before Ichigo interrupts him before he can start.



* RealityEnsues: Every chapter in season four ends with the respective group wandering just ''how'' they will get back home, since both the car and the airwig are destroyed and their plane is stolen. The author implies at the end of at least chapter 12 that season five will in fact begin picking up right where season four left off, and the first half of chapter 15 will focus on the Rainbow Crew getting back to Chicago.



* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Parodied with the Wave Country mission, where Team Seven (in the Leaf Village) and Team Three (in the RC, and dealing with the "Session" split instead of the "Prospit/Derse" split) encounter the same Demon Brothers, later encounter Haku, even recreate a little of the "run up trees" portion... things ''finally'' get derailed on the bridge battle. Of course, as this is only the first part of three missions in the chapter, and the third is supposed to be the only one with actual length, this is all ran through in brief.



** Chapter 14 has Jade mocking sit-coms that are [[BetterThanABareBulb overly reliant on Lampshade Hanging and general meta humor]] yet don't do anything to correct the problems. She is saying this during the chapter where she, John, Rose, and Dave ''finally'' break a little bit out of their designated "roles" that they had for the past ten (not counting [[RashomonStyle the rest of season four]]) chapters.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Frankly, going by number each chapter of season four [[SerialEscallation gets more extreme in this regard.]] Chapter 11 has alternate versions of the B2 kid's guardians/would-be guardians, which is a little unexpected but seeing as we've seen John's and Dave's before it isn't too far-fetched. Chapter 12 has the ancestors, which despite being more popular than the B2 guardians, were flat-out stated to not exist earlier. Chapter 13 has the would-be ancestors of ''Beforus'', characters who have not been elaborated on at all in canon, each given new names and interpretations. While chapter 14's group, the B1 guardians, are nothing too surprising at all (especially if you read season four in numerical order), the chapter itself contains [[spoiler:''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Noah]]'', a character who in both HHC and HUC alike has been said to be from a different anime/webcomic.]]

* ButtMonkey:
** In spite of how season four established them as being an incredibly tight group, the Rainbow Crew as a whole seems to have a lack of respect towards Karkat.
** Even the character who is supposed to be pre-scratch him fits this, as he is the only ancestor out of the "lowblood six" to be unable to help Mituna in any way, and his profession is significantly less impressive.
** This story has a habit of disrespecting Aranea. Rose holds a gun up to her when she first finds the Rainbow Crew for breaking a television,''she'' has to do something for ''them'' before she can join (for all other Alpha trolls it's the other way around, depending on how you count Meenah), and in chapter 13 she's the only character to not make a direct hit on Darkhorse and gets stomped on the groin several times. And it's implied that [[BizarreAlienBiology whatever trolls have down there,]] either sex getting hit hurts as much as guys getting hit in the same region.



** Less in-universe example: The girl who appears in the library by Santa Monica is ''heavily'' implied to be [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Connie]] from the past of one of the author's more sincere stories (''Carl Stevens Universe''), especially given how it outright states that [[spoiler:Porrim isn't the only vampire she bests with a specific book. In said story, she partakes in a plan that gets another, vampiric character eliminated from a paintball match.

* CloningBlues: Solid Snake has three clones of ''him'' (''[[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer not]]'' Big Boss): Liquid Snake, Gas Snake, and Plasma Snake. Except this trope is inverted; ''Solid'' is the one who feels inferior to his ''clones'', [[ElementalPowers for obvious (to those that read the story) reasons.]]



** The fake author's knowledge of Nintendo characters in general seem to only extend to ''Super Smash Bros'', not even factoring the information on the trophies.



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first season had no concrete plot connecting the four chapters, unlike at least seasons two, three, and likely four. It also had very vague and brief references to class and aspect powers, like Roxy simply voiding out Doc Scratch's vision of the heroes. This has yet to be brought up again. In a similar vein it's also somewhat unusual how the first chapter lacks the Rainbow Crew treehouse and evenmoreso that in the second chapter Rose's own house is being used as a base until Fin and Trace's invasion wrecks it up, seeing as the treehouse will then become an established main location.

* OCStandIn: The Alpha troll's ancestors were written when absolutely ''nothing'' was known about their canon counterparts (bar a very brief mention of Meenah's), so as a result they were an odd mix of GenerationXerox and were expies of the Zodiac trolls.

* ShapedLikeItself: Used often, such as Medicman saying that she can't ''legally'' change Mituna's pervertedness. She repeatedly says that there's no ''legal'' thing she can do.



* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Liquid Snake, Gas Snake, and Plasma Snake start also being refered to as Water Snake, Wind Snake, and Fire Snake respectively. After this change happens, it stays this way for the rest of chapter 13. The change, by the way, starts ''mid-paragraph''.



* ThrowItIn: According to the actual author, almost all of the typoes were actually made by accident, he just doesn't bother correcting ''most'' of them (those he does are usually to make the story still clear, or to reduce frequency). Many of the intended typoes are either "common" spelling mistakes (alot instead of a lot) or RougeAnglesOfSatin intended for humorous effect. This was to give an effect that the story was written by someone who rushed through everything and barely looked back at it, which was partially the case here given the "three days apart each chapte per season" deadlines.



* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: After this quote, Cronus looks at the other directions as if there's nothing that bad happening in the direction of the shark. He also seems pretty lax in general about the fact that there's a shark in the water with him.
-->Mituna was drowning so Cronus ran up to him and grabbed him and then began looking around for methods to get to surface. Towards the slope east and up to the beach he saw a man getting mauled by a shark so he knew that wasn't an option (AN don't worry he's going to get hospitaled back to health later on)....
* VerbalTic: Edward Cullen. Has a little habit. Of breaking up his clauses. Into seperate sentences.



** PalmtreePanic: The Los Angeles beach. Crosses into UnderTheSea when Cronus has to save a drowning Mituna.



* TheWorfEffect: The first thing Darkhorse does after appearing is effortlessly knock out Samus and Snake. While Snake did not fight up to this point in the story, Samus's introduction was taking out the Yellow Devil in one shot. Granted, Samus was in her [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer "robot form"]] in the Yellow Devil fight, but still.



** In general, ''all'' of the villains thusfar.



** Finally so far, nobody had any problems fighting Meenah, and the only reason a girl (Porrim) ends up being the only direct one to battle her is because both she dashed head-on to attack her first upon realizing that Meenah was a villain, and because [[spoiler:shortly after the battle Meenah gives up and decides to join in with the Rainbow Crew.]]
* WrongGenreSavvy: Sollux and Karkat, for labeling certain trolls as "canon fodder." [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass They couldn't be anywhere near wrong.]] After being disproven, they seem to stop.

So uh... I though chapter 11 wasn\'t anything special, but after I got it out I thought it was okay in hindsight and works in setting the standards for season four (and to a lesser extent, \"leg 2,\" which I use to refer to seasons 4-7. You can guess what \"leg 1\" is.), but I enjoyed writing chpater 12 but after getting it out and looking it over it feels like it doesn\'t live up to the self-given hype of season four and its differences. So... yep. Also I\'m surprised at how little of the fanservice costumes these ancestors use, and how obvious some of them would be for the A1 ancestors. (I haven\'t thought through of any of them, except Succubus\'s and Gearbone\'s.)

And yeah, there are also some fanservice/sexual tropes that are planned out to be posted after the story updates, but I\'m going to be more cautious on leaking them on the sandbox. I don\'t want to overflood the folders with that stuff and give this fic a bad look. To tell you the truth the fanservice entry is really just a placeholder for the ancestor\'s outfits, so that they can be conveniently lumped together.

* BodyPaint: Near the end of chapter 10, Jane tries to show John that she can be impulsive by sneaking into his room "wearing" nothing but a [[ComicBook/XMen Mystique]] cosplay "and censor bars" in a scene admittedly ripped from an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. John, for some reason, at first thinks that she had just killed Equius and Horuss and was running around naked and covered in their blood. (Jane corrects him before he does anything stupid.) Then it turns out, Jade did the exact same thing Jane did.

This has not yet been confirmed for the B1 kids's guardians (even though there's no reason not to considering how often this parodies [[HotterAndSexier a certain trope]]) as only half of them made an appearance so far and they were both in their houses.

They were revealed in chapter 11 as Drunkie and Coolkid respectively.

Though according to the timeline the author posted on his sandbox, following season five this will expand past the last non-DistantFinale chapter of HUC.



* ArtifactTitle: "Housestucks" is the name of the group of eight humans at the beginning, however when they merge with the Zodiacs both groups are renamed into the Rainbow Crew. This happened near the end of the first chapter, meaning that the story's title stops making sense ''as soon as it really begins''. To a much lesser extent the same goes for the "Hurricane"/"Hurrcain" part of the title, as it seems to imply some connection with John and his Heir of Breath powers. Classpect abilities haven't really been used since the first ''chapter'' (the first half of which, to boot) so far, as the story looses its more mystical and supernatural backgrounds and becomes a more BadassNormal-focused series.

John, Rose, and Jade are playing a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' {{MMORPG}} when a strange "white pony" character kills all of their avatars and messes up their gameplay. Irritated (for the second time in Rose and Jade's case), they get Roxy to track down the person responsible and find out that it's Doc Scratch, of the Felt. [[ExcusePlot For some reason]]. After their first attempt at killing him fails when the entire Felt tries to fight them at once, the eight humans seek help from the trolls, who first train them and then hire them as part of their group. Originally, the trolls called themselfs the Zodiacs and the humans the Housestucks, but since the humans make the group not fit the Zodiac theme they rename themselfs the Rainbow Crew.

Similar to ''Hecksing Ulumate Crconikals'', the main conflict is between two organizations; the Felt and the Rainbow Crew. Completely unlike HUC, however, over half of the fan fic will consist of various side story chapters dedicated to developing the characters and the world. That's right.

A few days after posting a new chapter to another, completely unrelated fanwork, Pikmin Fan wrote a short story on his profile announcing a few key details about the series future: Seasons 4 onward will feature more genuine character development (apparantly enough to shake Rose's current status as a cold-hearted sadist), and accompanying that will be an edit of all ten chapters published thusfar for some retuning and, if the Rainbow Crew's uniforms are any inditation, fitting the story so that it fits the author's own headcannons better.

After doing chapter 7 of the pre-season 4 retcon edit five days ago then procrastinating this, I\'ve started on chapter 8 and I\'m already Right on the point before Meenah\'s \"quest.\" (Quotes used because it isn\'t like the other ten quests in season two; it doesn\'t take place in Chicago, it\'s night by this point, it\'s not a \"small thing\" like the other are, the RC is all alone, and instead of doing something or in the case of Aranea otherwise helping them they\'re trying to fight the person. Oh and also adding Meenah wasn\'t part of the original plan.)

Added DiffLines:

* BigBad: Doc Scratch is geared towards this overall, but each season so far has an overarching "final villain" to it:
** Season one: Still Doc Scratch, this is so far the only season where the Rainbow Crew/Felt war is central to the plot (as WordOfGod does not want it to repeat Hecksing vs the Millennium).
** Season two: Meenah. [[spoiler:Though she pulls a HeelFaceTurn at the end... sort of]].
** Season three: The "Pikmin God"/[[spoiler:Waterwraith]].
** Season four: Even though it's not out yet, the events in the chapters will only happen because [[spoiler:the Troll Empress]] forced the Rainbow Crew to do it, pointing to her as the main villain overall.


Added DiffLines:

* PaintingTheMedium: When Kurloz [[spoiler:is talking to the Waterwraith between Cronus's sidequest and assaulting Meenah's dungeon]], his "bone text" is represented in all caps and bold, even with the quotation marks being bolded. This is evident in the narration:
-->...and even the quotation marks are in bold for emphashism.

** Depicitions of the Rainbow Crew members are usually a jab at something. Either an exaggeration of how fans commonly mis-portray them (Mainly the humans, what with John's innocense, Jade's shyness, Roxy's mind always on sex, etc.), an inversion of mis-portrayals (Usually with the trolls, since some of the Beforans already covered the previous depiction type in canon: Eridan becoming a pimp, Vriska being a near-HarmlessVillain), some odd mix (IE Gamzee's pseudo-MrFanservice status), or a parody of another stereotype. (Such as Rose, if the author's short story on his profile of her beating up an alternate [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Ezekiel]] from one of his other fan fics is any indication.)

I\'m done editting chapter 6 (honestly there wasn\'t that much to edit: just continuing on toning down the BBT references and add a few more optional jokes, plus diverge Rose\'s character a little more by giving her some of what was originally John\'s lines; I made John into less of a jerk for now) and now that I\'ve finished Chapter 3 of TZP and HHC is my top priority, I thought of editting at least one chapter a day until I\'m caught up, then I\'ll write season 4 as I\'d like to. Personally I think season 1 was the only season that required large cleanup (Early Installment Weirdness and all), and with that out of the way the editting will feel much faster to me.

** Chapter 2 was just a simple reinactment of the Valentine Brothers arc in ''Hellsing''. It was very short and had little to it that wasn't 100% plot relevant. Right after this was the longest and most complicated chapter out of its respective arc.
