Boy did I intend to say this on the day I got chapter 24 out...


The first six "seasons" are over, with a seventh finale that currently does not have any concrete starting day (aside from maybe early September, so that it will end on the same date ''Hecksing'' began). The fan fic, as with its preceedor, is planned to update every three days during a "season," until that season ends, which leads to a break.

Back when the first three chapters for the season came out I kept coming back here to update this accordingly. Then I stopped. That\'s probably gonna bite me back. Also wow how long did I have Shameless Fanservice Girl on there twice?

* AbortedArc: According to WordOfGod (the actual author, not the false persona "making" the story), the LoveDodecahedron became this after trying to induce DivergentCharacterEvolution and the romance started getting played a little more straight. He did this by having each chapter of season 4 (14 being the only exception) end with all of the groups suddenly confessing love for eachother in two 12-sided relationships and one 4-sided, which while it doesn't completely remove the subplot, it greatly simplifies it now that "ingroup" relationships and which ones exist and which ones don't don't have to be worried about anymore.

** Anything related to the Ichigo Blades, since the fake-author fully admitted that he didn't like to restrict Feferi, Nepeta, Rose, Eridan, and Roxy to the swords all the time when they could just spam guns like most of the Rainbow Crew.



** The story as a whole to ''Hecksing Ulumate Crconikals''. It's not a prequel or a sequel, but during the first seventeen chapters of this both of the storylines are going at the same time. (Well, sort of. A bit happens each day on the ''Housestuck'' side that happens at night in ''Hecksing'', but thanks to timezome complications those may as well be going on at around the exact same time.)

Hank Hill being an example of this, as he says he would [[spoiler:go back in time and start the show itself]]. Then there's Carl from Hecksing/Hellsing's plotline, who was a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed of Charlie Sheen, before an offhand comment by Giant David Hasselhoff reveals that there is ''also'' a Charlie Sheen hanging around.

* NotHisSled: In chapter 12, [[spoiler:the trolls begin killing eachother in a very similar manner to their deaths in canon. While its obvious that they won't die for real (especially after reading chapter 13 first, as none of those trolls die and it wouldn't make sense to kill off half of the post-scratch group yet let the ''pre-scratch'' ones live), we begin with a very familiar scenario of Vriska killing Tavros. Then Eridan kills Feferi, "kills" Kanaya, and knocks out Sollux, with the only difference from canon being the order. Gamzee later strangles Equius, and Nepeta faces off against him. It seems like she, too, will be killed... and then she suddenly turns it around and [[AssKicksYou ass smacks]] him to death instead. Partially justified, as thanks to upcoming events in a completely different story, no Leijons can be killed off until ''Simpsons'' ends (in real life) in the author's fan fics, and thus something like this had to be written to go around remaking the murder arc]].

Canyon. Specifically, in chapters 1, 8, the second half of 9 and most of 10, 14, 17 (technically the beginning of 18 as well), and 21, while it's unknown when in season seven they'll go there.
* OppositeSexClone: The counterparts started as this, with a few more differences than simply being the opposite sex. Gets confusing since the Crew as a whole can apparantly switch their own sexes back and forth, original or counterpart. Bottom line is that the counterparts have the opposing ''gender'', but the Ballad of Duality inexplicably gives the users the power to change their ''sex''. (It's implied that the fake-author is just using that as an excuse to increase the fanservicey-female cast for his... "own" material.)



* OtherMeAnnoysMe: So far, very few characters have gotten along with their counterparts. Probably because most (but not all) of them are like jerkish versions of their original selves. Karkat especially hates his, thanks to her very light atittude about everything and ExtremeDoormat personality.

* ContinuityPorn: Several previous events in completely unrelated arcs are referenced often. In chapter 19, Karkat's battle with the Troll Empress even takes both of them around one point that approximately represents each chapter.



** Subverted in chapter 18 where the fake author turns out to know the name of "Doomguy" (Flynn Taggert), even calling him that.



* CrapsackWorld: Alternia. Not the brutal dictatorship in canon, it's rather an ''extremely'' poor country thanks to the craziness of their leader blowing their entire budget. The troll's "main" homeworld is reduced to an island out in the Pacific. Even one of the pricier hotels is full of trash and GiantSpider[=s=], there's practically no middle class, and there's only one hospital in the entire country.

* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep:
** Subverted with the ancestors, who turn out to have names different from their canonical other-scratch self... but then double-subverted with Handmaid, whose first name really is "Maiden."
** The Troll Empress's name is Troll Empress, as named by the Imperial Drone who raised her. He even said that he'd "FUCK THE 6-6 NAMING SYSTEM!" This also marks the Troll Empress as having an OddNameOut.



** Emperor F is the ruler who created the law about imperial drones. He's killed thanks to his own rule (he failed to get a mate), despite the fact that the law as a whole was started as an excuse to get him laid.

She underestimates everyone, kicks people off the treehouse computers to look at porn, and even threatens to kill Aranea [[DisproportunateRetribution for breaking a TV.]] Her reaction when first meeting Latula is to assume that she's "broken" (whatever that means) and advices the other RC members to go away.

** The teenage haters (who are gonna hate) are pretty much every stereotypical bully-type hero haters ever. One of them even tries to literally kick Nepeta's ass completely unprovoked, but thanks to its irregular... ''something'', it ends up breaking his foot up instead. The story even describes them as jerkasses.
** Jaws is pretty much evil and pestering others around for the hell of it. He also has a very unhealthy fixation on Aradia, for comitting the "crime" of carrying around a spell book that gave him his resurrection spell.



* LoopholeAbuse: Turns out that the Troll Empress containing all twelve non-mutant blood types doesn't put her off the hemospectrum. Rather, somehow, this is counted as her blood rank ''adding up'', placing her ''dosens'' of spots above even the fuchsia bloods with nothing in between.



** Dark Ezekiel calls Nepeta "cutebutt." In ''Total Zeksmit Plains'', this is more-or-less Kathy's pet name for Lindsay when trying to creep her out. Unlike Kathy though, Dark Ezekiel seems genuine about this.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: What little has been revealed about ghosts is mind-boggling. For one thing, it seems that they can only stay on Earth by using magic, and if it's drained then they are forced to Heaven or the Four Hells. Perhaps the weirdest thing is that while humans can see ghosts, ''vampires can't unless they're vampire ghosts''.

In spite of season three's central plotline centered around them, they are left out of season four entirely because Rose had them remodel the treehouse, and they don't appear much in season five because... well, no real reason is given on ''that''. They do have an important role in the first chapter of season six, but that's really just to tie a loose end and explain how the Crew gets back home.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The Troll Empress is hundreds of years old. The Imperial Drone that works by her side is even ''older'', as it turns out he's the one that raised her.



** Chapter 19 has the haters who are gonna hate. Each time they are mentioned, the story also says that they are gonna hate.



* SurpriseIncest: Oddest example ever; this shocked the fake-author, having never read acts 1-4 until making season 2 of this fan fic. He found out that John and Jade were related after teasing them so much in the first four chapters ([[spoiler:and hooking them up in ''Hecksing'']]), but ignored this because Jane and Jake are shipped together as well as Dirk and Roxy, and said author thinks they're related too.[[labelnote:Note]]They're not; Act 6 Intermission 2 elaborated that Jane and Nanna were biologically one and the same, as with Dirk and Bro, Roxy and Mom, and Jake and Grandpa.

[[spoiler:It turns out that the Troll Empress did a Mother Grub directly and the twenty-four ancestors were her offspring, making all the descendant trolls cousins. Both the descendants and the ancestors have been in several relationships with eachother since then, and Dualscar and Dolorosa are even married. This reveal doesn't seem to hit them that much though]].



** The main plot of chapter 19 is parodying fans who misunderstand the quadrants. To the point where the trolls ''don't even understand their own culture.''



* ToiletHumor: At the end of chapter 19, [[spoiler:the whole Rainbow Crew (sans Gamzee, but even he was sick in the previous day) is poisoned thanks to Bororo. The chapter ends with their ship crashing thanks to rushing to get back to the treehouse, and Rose yelling at John and Jane to keep rowing their little lifeboat to get back]].

Then [[spoiler:she's suddenly good enough to take down HumongousMecha Death Mecha, essentially by herself. And kill Gamzee just by hitting him with her ass. And carry Sollux, Tavros, Feferi, Equius, Gamzee, Eridan, and Vriska ''at the same time in one giant stack'', which was done after catching all seven of them after they fell (Sollux from losing his mind honey and being unable to levitate further; the others from being revived in mid-air)]].

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Kurloz just takes a spanking and things are fine and dandy by the rest of the Crew. Vriska also seemed to be forgiven for killing Tavors (Gamzee had some serious problems and his mind wasn't right, and Eridan was possessed. Vriska had no excuse), but Terezi's revenge-kill might have worked out and helped]].

* GoingCommando: Near the end of chapter 18, Nepeta elaborates that she used to do this before switching to the Rainbow Crew uniform where she goes completely nude. She doesn't even own underwear.



* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Despite what the fake-summary may imply, God Tiering and class/aspect powers don't exist, essentially balancing the ''Homestuck'' cast with everyone else.



* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: And Shameless Fanservice Boy. The Rainbow Crew for the most part does not mind being near-naked at all. Nepeta (and Netimp) exaggerate this, as their "outfit" is to go around completely naked, and in chapter 18 Nepeta reveals that she didn't even like wearing clothes ''before'' the RC uniform portion. She doesn't even ''own'' pajamas, swimsuits, or ''[[GoingCommando underwear]]''.



* StatusQuoIsGod: While a lot of things change -- including and ''especially'' relationships -- any drastic changes made to the Rainbow Crew that don't involve additional members will likely be reversed. For instance, [[spoiler:six of the trolls are killed off in chapter 12. Then Pip comes back, putting his "I can revive six people at once" skill by bringing those exact same trolls back from the dead]].

** Chapter 16, while its definitely not shorter than the average other season 4 chapter by any sense and isn't ''really'' filler (elaborating on a lot of the pasts of characters who haven't gotten one), is still a little shorter than chapter 15 and was [[InvokedTrope practically written with the "minimal use" in design.]] Aside from the beginning and end, the entire chapter consists of an extreme Truth or Dare game that the Rainbow Crew plays, first while they're stuck in a cave-in and continuing after their guardians/ancestors/lusii come to save them. It's pretty much nothing but character development (which is a little jarring, considering how at least Roxy seems to have suffered from AesopAmnesia of Sis calling her out), which makes sense considering the creation of the counterparts at the end of the last chapter. The game, both in-universe and out, serves to be their first form of development, and attempts to establish how they are different from their originals. It should also be noted that there are no time skips during this scene; everything bar the longer dares plays out in real time (though the "rounds" (one person asking another truth or dare) move by ''pretty'' fast -- about three to five lines -- and due to the rules and everyone being risky, just about every round is an elimination), and the line breaks literally only serve as "checkpoints" in case someone stops reading mid-chapter.
** It's subject to change, but chapter 17 is jarringly short compared to its previous two in its season.

So... just [[spoiler:Scratch sending everyone to the Grand Canyon, Karkat getting the lime blood needed to finish the sheild, and the battle against Stickdawg.]]

* ExpandedUniverse: This story, as a sort-of spinoff (even though the storylines are only really related by extremely small tangents, jury duty quests arc aside) to ''Hecksing''. The expansion ''really'' started with a HUC/''Steven Universe''/[[spoiler:also cameo of ''King of the Hill'']] crossover, and it seems to just be growing from there.there, with a prequel to HUC by the name of ''Hecksing: The Dawn'', and a possible split-story from this called ''Housestuck: The Split''.

** The Truth or Dare game in chapter 16 was also intended to come off as disturbing. Lampshaded when, before the Crew even returns to the Felt tower, Rose asks Roxy [[SickAndWrong what the hell is wrong with her.]] Some highlights:

Unlike a majority of TrollFic[=s=], the spelling and general structure in this (and its preceedor) actually gets ''better'' over time, to the point where the later seasons are almost typo-free.



The first five "seasons" are over. The sixth "season" is planned to start on June 11th, that date chosen because it is apparantly the day the author found some fan art he was fond of. The fan fic, as with its preceedor, is planned to update every three days during a "season," until that season ends, which leads to a break. With the exception of the sixth one, which might push it up to every five days due to the planned length and complexity of each chapter.

This is twice as long by chapter number alone, all of its chapters are on average significantly longer than HUC's and generally get longer from there, the hero cast is far larger, so much more of the world is expanded upon -- helped by the fact that the Rainbow Crew both encounters populated areas and interacts with their population, while Hecksing rarely did the first or especially the latter -- it's has a lot more "[[HotterAndSexier content,]]" and there's a far bigger variety of villains that are outside of the QuirkyMinibossSquad the story is supposed to focus on. Fan even went out and said that ''Housestuck'' makes ''Hecksing'' feel claustrophobic by comparason.

** In the beginning, there were a lot of Rainbow Crew members that were pretty interexchangable and generic. (All of the troll girls except Aradia and Vriska; Tavros, Equius, and Eridan. To a lesser extent, Dirk and Dave for the "interexchangable" and Jake, Jane, and Rose for the "generic" part.) This number went down considerably each succeeding season, and they got even ''more'' unique in seasons four and five.
** This story seems to be built on making the guardians/ancestors into seperate characters, in contrast to canon drawing a ton of similarities between them. Giving the humans different names, for one thing, as it was once implied that Poppop was still named John.

Normally this would be ScrewYourself, but at least everyone in the Rainbow Crew seems to treat counterparts as siblings (much like ''Sweet Jade and Hella John'' does with all alternate selves). And that some counterparts, Adrion and Aradia included, do not appear to have that much in common personality-wise. Commented with Roxy calling out "INCEST! ''WOOOOO!''"



* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: This is Pikmin Fan's first ''Homestuck'' SBIG installment that leaves out the carapases. At least, so far, but considering how the story is over halfway over and none of the following plotlines seem to suggest that they will ever be in the fic in any way at all, combined with their rather inactive roles in ''Sweet Jade and Hella John'' and ''Kids Fit the Trolls'', it's unlikely they will be in seasons six or seven. Similarly, this continues Pikmin Fan's streak of not having in many of the Sburb constructs at all, something even his one story that actually takes place in a Sburbverse seems to do.



* DevelopmentHell: Season four took '''over a year''' to come out, and exactly a year after the date it ''was'' planned to come out on.



** Meulin's actions towards Jake are a lot like [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Sierra's actions towards Cody.]] John even lampshades this when the Rainbow Crew show Kankri (and Karkat, Terezi, Kanaya, and Gamzee) that they have recruited Meulin and Porrim.

** The ammount of time it took before the final part of Act 6 Intermission 3's walkaround to be published determined the publish date for chapters five through eight and, by proxy, the chapters afterward. In a similar situation to... what ''was'' once planned for ''Sweet Jade and Hella John'', this is so that the last three A1 trolls are properly introduced, which would actually affect the plot.[[labelnote:Note]]In SJAHJ, by the time the A1 trolls were outright ''needed'' for the plot, Kankri, Latula, and Porrim had been introduced, so a few jokes were done with them and Aranea, and the other trolls were outright sillouettes.[[/labelnote]] Although this ''didn't'' stop Pikmin Fan from using Damara during the first four chapters, when next to nothing was known about her. [[HilariousInHindsight And now that her personality had been revealed...]]
** Chapter 12 ''would'' have ended on a cliffhanger with the trolls going ''off'' a literal cliff, before it quickly says that they crash into an abandoned hospital which cushions their fall. The part about the hospital would have not been mentioned, however the author says that he's not sure when to even ''start'' season five, so the cliffhanger will be made longer than necessary.

** Chapter 17's short length compared to 16 and especially 15 was because of the self-set deadline catching up quick on Pikmin Fan.



* 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 chapter per season" deadlines.

He fell back, and for the first time in the history opf Homestuck there was a dead Gamzee and he's NOT going to God Tier.

* NotHisSled: In chapter 12, [[spoiler:the trolls begin killing eachother in a very similar manner to their deaths in canon. While its obvious that they won't die for real (especially after reading chapter 13 first, as none of those trolls die and it wouldn't make sense to kill off half of the post-scratch group yet let the ''pre-scratch'' ones live), we begin with a very familiar scenario of Vriska killing Tavros. Then Eridan kills Feferi, "kills" Kanaya, and knocks out Sollux, with the only difference from canon being the order. Gamzee later strangles Equius, and Nepeta faces off against him. It seems like she, too, will be killed... and then she suddenly turns it around and [[AssKicksYou ass smacks]] him to death instead. Partially justified, as thanks to upcoming events in a completely different story, no Leijons can be killed off until ''Simpsons'' ends (in real life), and thus something like this had to be written to go around remaking the murder arc.]]

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.

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 with, again, chapter two taking place almost entirely in Rose's house.

* PortalPool: Doc Scratch has one in a point in his tower, the bridge going over it acting as the unnoficial border between the "lair" part of the building and the "apartment" part of it. It leads to the [[RunningGag Grand Canyon,]] because Stickdawg lives there.



** Doc Scratch destroying the bridge over his PortalPool and sending the Rainbow Crew falling into it resembles Knuckles's bridge destructions in ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles''.
** Chapters 15 and 17 draw similarities between the Felt Tower and the Stone Tower Temple from ''Majora's Mask''. (Flipping upside down, light arrows being used (bonus points for indirectly becoming the cause of the upside-down flipping), and having a strange portal that leads out into the middle of a desert.) This isn't too surprising, given how ''Majora's Mask'' was a huge influence for the "sidequest"-centricness of the story, and the entire previous season was about the Rainbow Crew going to places aligning up with the four dungeon areas (swamp, mountain, ocean, canyon).



* TheStinger: The first three chapters had a scene with Damara and Scratch, plus a signoff by Gamzee. Chapter 4 lampshades this by saying that there can't be something like the latter every chapter, [[TakeThat because this isn't like the Simpsons.]] Season 2 picked this up by having each chapter ending with a scene of Meenah having a conversation with a [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Stalfos]], except chapter 8 given how [[spoiler:the Stalfos is dead and Meenah has joined the Rainbow Crew]].

Chapter 4 lampshades this by saying that there can't be something like the latter every chapter, [[TakeThat because this isn't like the Simpsons.]] Season 2 picked this up by having each chapter ending with a scene of Meenah having a conversation with a [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Stalfos]], except chapter 8 given how [[spoiler:the Stalfos is dead and Meenah has joined the Rainbow Crew]]. Season three is the first season to not have anything resembling a stinger at all.all.
** At the end of chapter 17, [[spoiler:there is a "video" by the Troll Empress, saying that an invasion broke out and an attack was led on an oil rig. She then tells people to sign up for the army, to fight it back.]] '''End of season five.'''


Added DiffLines:

** Speaking of the guardians and ancestors listed above, John's mother Betty can now count as this, as she doesn't particularly get that much character development until over halfway through the story and '''''completely''''' subverts the expectations one might have for an alternate version of Jane/Nanna. (Or as the mother of John, who in the first three seasons was pretty "innocent" before his [[JerkJock background]] showed.) Something similar can be said about Jade, Jane, and Jake's guardians, but with John's it's by far the most extreme.
** [[spoiler:Stickdawg. As his entire purpose in the story was the be a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere, and thus his entire joke is how out-there he is, to keep in line with the story everything about him is a spoiler.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Actually no. And if anything, maybe the A1 trolls are a more meta example, as the work THEY are ascended extras from is by a completely different person?


** Back to ''more''-meta examples, the guardains. Prior to season four, Bro only appeared ''once'' and was basically a cameo/an answer to if Dave was living by himself or not, and Nan was just a joke character limited to chapters 9 and 10. However, not counting the properties of season four's "read it in any order," they, the other six guardains, and the ancestors have had ''perfect attendance'' from then on out, appearing in one chapter of season four, then in chapter 15, then 16. (Even if they don't all have lines in some cases.)

** They may not be related anymore, but it seems that Scorpio trolls fall under this, as 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 [[GroinAttack 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.

** 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, her RunningGag in season two of objecting to the Alpha-troll hiring, and the general fact that her fellow Crewmates love ignoring her ([[spoiler:rampage in chapter 12 aside]]), this is unusual.

** Chapter 16, while its definitely not shorter than the average other season 4 chapter by any sense and isn't ''really'' filler (elaborating on a lot of the pasts of characters who haven't gotten one), is still a little shorter than chapter 15 and was [[InvokedTrope practically written with the "minimal use" in design.]] Aside from the beginning and end, the entire chapter consists of an extreme Truth or Dare game that the Rainbow Crew plays, first while they're stuck in a cave-in and continuing after their guardians/ancestors/lusii come to save them. It's pretty much nothing but character development (which is a little jarring, considering how at least Roxy seems to have suffered from AesopAmnesia of Sis calling her out), which makes sense considering the creation of the counterparts at the end of the last chapter. The game, both in-universe and out, serves to be their first form of development, and attempts to establish how they are different from their originals. It should also be noted that there are no time skips during this scene; everything bar the longer dares plays out in real time (though the "rounds" (one person asking another truth or dare) move by ''pretty'' fast -- about three to five lines -- and due to the rules and everyone being risky, just about every round is an elimination), and the line breaks literally only serve as "checkpoints" in case someone stops reading mid-chapter.

The cop asks "Why," and he answers with "So they'll know I'm a badass!"
** An even bigger example: On the very first chapter towards the very beginning of the story, Roxy ends up calling John over to go attack Scratch's apartment for the first time, except John was on the can while it happened. Finding no toilet paper left, the scene ends with him fiding a copy of ''Twilight'' and deciding to use that. Flashforeward ''all'' the way to chapter 16, where Karkta dares Rose to read one page of the worst book with them, and John takes out a ripped copy of ''Twilight'' outright calling it "toilet paper" before admitting that that was a bit more literal than he would have liked it to be.
** Another example that occurs within the same chapter: One of the earlier dares in the Strip Truth or Dare game is to eat Chocolate Mix Skittles.

Scratch thinks they're having an orgy, which isn't helped by the fact that most of them are naked and the latter was the result of Dirk's father being named with a different last name.)ones that aren't are wearing almost nothing.



* OtherMeAnnoysMe: So far, very few characters have gotten along with their counterparts. Probably because most (but not all) of them are like jerkish versions of their original selves. Karkat especially hates his, thanks to her very light atittude about everything.



* ParentalIncest: There's a ''reason'' why [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Cletus]] is reffered to as "[[IncestIsRelative Incest Guy]]"
-->"OW that stupid motherfucker..." he said before laffing, "I guess I"M the motherfucker becuz I fuck my mom since I'm into that" it's funny because it's incest. Anyway [[spoiler:Incest Guy died.]]
:: The beginning of chapter 9 slightly implies that John's mom was trying to hit on him.

This is not forgotten: When she comes in during the Truth or Dare game in chapter 16, she grabs the bottle when John is about to spin it, points it to herself, winks at him, and flat-out tells him to kiss her. She was just joking... maybe.



* ThePornomancer: John, to an extent. He's been around ''every'' time a female character gets naked either through stupidity or slapstick, not to mention how he (and the rest of the RC) just-so-happened to visit China during [[CriticalResearchFailure carnival]].

In addition to ''that'', his mother just-so-happens to have a very active sex life.


Added DiffLines:

* PutOnABus:
** The Pikmin interns are pretty terrible offenders. In spite of season three's central plotline centered around them, they are left out of season four entirely because Rose had them remodel the treehouse, and they don't appear much in season five because... well, no real reason is given on ''that''.
** While crossover characters do have a habit of coming and going pretty much whenever the story needs it, Connie was put on a ''train'' to Canada in chapter 15 in spite of, depending on how you count season four's "can be read in any order" gimmick, pretty much getting two chapters in a row's worth of appearances. But it should be noted that she ''was'' shown ''on'' the train in chapter 15, and that is in fact how the Rainbow Crew encountered her and how she made an appearance in said chapter.


Added DiffLines:

** Might be a as well TakeThat considering their... infamy, but when [[spoiler:"KFC Guy" starts attacking the Crew, Dave shouts "PETA WAS RIGHT!"]] This is ''very'' likely a reference to [=PeTA=]'s ''Super Chick Sisters''.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Despite being a SBIG installment, there is actually surprisingly little of what can be consider actual slapstick. However, it shows up in chapter 16, and just about ''nobody'' is safe from getting hit in the rear. Hell, to hammer it in, the game covers every potential gender combination of who smacks who, even if you factor in "counterpart male" and "counterpart female" as two additional "genders."


Added DiffLines:

** Chapter 16 makes a dig at Chocolate Mix Skittles, with pretty much everyone agreeing that they taste terrible. To the extent that it's even a dare to eat them, and the Felt refused to steal the bag Kanaya brought with her while the Crew was knocked out.

None


* UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}: Connie off-handedly implies she's one (openly admitting she has a penis), and the author confirms it. (Which is a little necessary, since [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Haku]] uses his... thing as a way of proving that he's ''male'', even though the fact that the story constantly uses male pronouns for him while female pronouns for Connie would imply the difference between their situations.) It only applies to her in ''this'' timeline, but ''Carl Stevens Universe'' is included in that. Sort of. [[ShrugOfGod Pikmin Fan is very unsure on that.]]

I\'m a little nervous about chapter 15. It\'s the first time I\'ve mentioned asexuality by name, and then there\'s the one-off line of Connie being trans* that I miiiiight regret having done because, if I ever become less obscure, I can definitely see that biting me back and coming off as offensive. In fact, I\'m tempted to edit the latter. Oh, it just occured to me that the fact that HHC-Connie is implied to be a little unstable might be one such Unfortunate Implication. Crap.

Current update)



* AbortedArc: According to WordOfGod (the actual author, not the false persona "making" the story), the LoveDodecahedron became this after trying to induce DivergentCharacterEvolution and the romance started getting played a little more straight. He did this by having each chapter of season 4 (14 being the only exception) end with all of the groups suddenly confessing love for eachother in two 12-sided relationships and one 4-sided, which while it doesn't completely remove the subplot, it greatly simplifies it now that "ingroup" relationships and which ones exist and which ones don't don't have to be worried about anymore.



* AmbiguousDisorder: Dave and Bro are noteriously out of character even by the rest of the story's standards, as at least the former is arrogant, loud, and almost a PerpetualSmiler whose the first to get himself into something wacky. [[ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat He tones down on this from season 4 onward.]] He also seems to have a loose grasp on reality, thinking that his imagry of SantaClaus was real and actually trying to attack him. And his Bro knows ''exactly'' what he thought was happening.



* CaptainErsatz: WordOfGod says that the Rainbow Sisters were inspired by the Koopa Bros. from ''Paper Mario''. Down to missing a blue member [[spoiler:until it's revealed that Jade filled that role for about a week.]]



* CelebrityCrush: Doc Scratch has a crush on Undercover Brother.

to:

* CelebrityCrush: Doc Scratch has a crush on Undercover Brother.Film/UndercoverBrother.
* CelebrityParadox: This fan fic has a truely absurd example even by the trope's standards. For starters, most of the shows not only exist as their own shows, but the characters seem to be AnimatedActors. Hank Hill being an example of this, as he says he would [[spoiler:go back in time and start the show itself]]. Then there's Carl from Hecksing/Hellsing's plotline, who was a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed of Charlie Sheen, before an offhand comment by Giant David Hasselhoff reveals that there is ''also'' a Charlie Sheen hanging around.



* ChekhovMIA:
** The ancestors are an odd example, as they were mentioned to ''not'' exist in the world, before season four reveals them ''to'' exist.
** Unlike his appearance in SJAHJ (though this might be because Cartman and co. are "real" here and a projection from the Silencer in that story), Cartman mentions Stan and Kyle in chapter 12. They, along with Kenny, appear in chapter 15, [[spoiler:[[NiceJobBreakingItHero and accidentally send Doc Scratch an SOS from Omega Drew Pickles that convinces him to attack the Crew again.]]]]



** Dave and John's guardians appear in chapters 8 and 9/10 respectively, as background characters. They, and the other six guardians, make full appearances in season four.



** That girl implied to be Connie from chapter 13? A brief train ride confirms that it ''is'' her. However, all that happens during that ride becides the trolls being attacked by Itchy is that Porrim makes up to her for trying to attack her over a book, and the trolls give her a communication device. This has yet to come up again.
** ''Hecksing''[='=]s epilogue says that [[spoiler:Homer Simpson was reincarnated into Hank Hill]] and that John and Jade have OppositeSexClone[=s=] of them created. Both [[spoiler:Hank Hill]] and those counterparts come into play in chapter 15, with the former even helping to create the latter. And it's not just John and Jade; it's the entire Crew, not counting the interns.
** Another cross-story example was Giant David Hasselhoff, who appears in chapter 8 of HUC to transport Carl and the Master Chief from the Grand Canyon to London, then he transports John and Jade ''from'' London ''back'' to the United States.

* ElementalPowers: Solid Snake has (very weak) earth powers, Plasma Snake has fire powers, Gas Snake has wind powers, and Liquid Snake has water powers. The latter three are even made of their respective elements, however Solid Snake isn't made of earth because "HUMENS ARE ALREADY SOLID, IDIOTS."

** John and Jade themselves develop fire and ice powers respectively after studying up on them from info scrolls they bought on their way back home.



* ExpandedUniverse: This story, as a sort-of spinoff (even though the storylines are only really related by extremely small tangents, jury duty quests arc aside) to ''Hecksing''. The expansion ''really'' started with a HUC/''Steven Universe''/[[spoiler:also cameo of ''King of the Hill'']] crossover, and it seems to just be growing from there.



* GuestStarPartyMember:
** The ancestors and guardians, openly being stated to ''not'' be a part of the Crew yet but they do temporarly help them out with some missions. That aside, the Crew seems to be way more open to getting people to help them out than Hecksing is, considering other character who might fit the bill like Luffy, Tony Hawk, Ichigo (more than once), etc.
** [[spoiler:Geno and Homer are the only characters so far who were "official" members of the Rainbow Crew, yet they were never in for more than two chapters, as they both die shortly after their addition.]]



* IndyPloy: Equius fires a light arrow at [[spoiler:Homer Simpson's ghost]], having no idea as to if it will work or not. Not only does it get rid of the problem, but it changes it into something... better. Much better.



* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: As of season five, the general writing style shifts from being filled with intentional typoes to being filled with this. Any exposition-giving character especially is filled with it.



* JerkJock: John himself was one in the past, before undergoing a sudden and unexplained muscle shrinking. Jade even references the trope by name.



* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Homer's ghost brags about being able to not just kill the Rainbow Crew, but wipe out their ghosts as well with a beam. He gets a light arrow fired at him from Equius, which ''changes his soul'' into that of Hank Hill's and gives him the fitting body. Even though HUC's epilogue says that Homer was reincarnated, this isn't a simple case of that -- Homer's essense was changed at its base, effectively making the Homer as we know it DeaderThanDead. ''The same fate he tried to induce on the Crew.'']]

Or the side characters, of which WordOfGod said that there will be had more focus given to than there was they did in HUC.



* MagicMusic: The Sonata of Castles.

to:

* MagicMusic: The Sonata of Castles.Castles, which seems to have an exclusive ability to just [[spoiler:expose the Waterwraith's lair]], and the Ballad of Duality, which heals injuries and creates a counterpart to the user(s) at the cost that it may only be used once for each person. (Though Hank, the teacher of the latter song, implies that there is a way to improve on it so that it can be used multiple times.)



* {{Meganekko}}: This story has quite a few of them, and out of the Rainbow Crew many of them have more spotlight than the others. John and Jade are the main protagonists, with Jane and Jake getting more focus than the other [=A2=] teens. There's also Vriska (thanks to BadassDecay), Aranea, Feferi, Meenah, and Eridan (also thanks to BadassDecay). All nine of these each have an OppositeSexClone as of chapter 15, and that same chapter (which, by Rose's word, lampshades how mostly the Rainbow Crew members under this trope are important) confirms that all of their guardians or ancestors fit this. Crossover/side characters who fit this in HHC or HUC include [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Connie,]] and finally for now [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Rip,]] ([[spoiler:after giving up a life of being a villain and chosing to get herself fired. When she joins Hecksing in HUC, she plays this pretty straight for the most part]]).
* MonsterModesty: [[spoiler:Hank Hill seems to be part-plant in a way, and was born with fig leaves all over him appropriately.]]
* MrExposition: Hank Hill. [[spoiler:As he was infused with elemental light, this gave him knowledge of how many things work, including his own future.]]



** John and Jade pick up [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda fire, ice, and light]] scrolls at a shop by Dracula, their intended purpose being used for ''arrows''. They eventually harness the powers of the first two, and manage to use them to simply make the elements in their raw forms ala [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Fire and Ice Flowers.]] The catch? John's the one who primarly uses fire powers, while Jade is the one who primarly uses ice powers. ''Sweet Jade and Hella John'' had alternate selves of them, John's alt with fire abilities and Jade's with ice.
** The existance of Hydra, Death Mecha, Darkhorse, and Omega Drew Pickles, to the same story. They are even confirmed later to be a part of a group.



* ObfuscatingStupidity: It's revealed in a flashback in chapter 15 that [[spoiler:Rip Van Winkle used this, after an assault on the Harley manor made Rip realize that Jade reminded her of herself once she got Jade into a state of helplessness. Rip then spends everything from that moment on trying to get herself fired from the Millennium. (It's implied that they would kill her if she quit, as for some reason their versions here are much less harsh on people they fire than people who quit) As revealed in HUC, she was such an asset to them thanks to her "charm" ability that it takes literally sleeping with the enemy (Carl) to succeed. It explains why she suddenly gains a ton of brains shortly after joining Hecksing.]]



* OppositeSexClone: The counterparts, with a few more differences than simply being the opposite sex.



* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The Rainbow Sisters. (''Not'' to be confused with the Rainbow Crew or the RealLife group with the same name.) It gets much worse when Jade elaborates in a flashback [[spoiler:when she used to work with Rainbow Red.]]



* ReferenceOverdosed: The amount of works crossed over is insane, [[UpToEleven even by "SBIG" standards.]] Covering them ''all'' as of the latest update, it's a ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' story that ''begins'' with ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' crossovers, then it downplays them until [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Geno]] enters the fray and directs them to [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ichigo.]] [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness (The first season was way more focused on the Rainbow Crew's battle with the Felt than the background aspects of the world, something that not even the fifth season has been replicating so far despite the RC-Felt conflict coming to light again.)]] Season two introduces [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link, Stalfos,]] [[Film/{{Alien}} Xenomorphs,]] and various ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]'' characters. Season three briefly mentions the [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief,]] (not by name, but he does appear in HUC as a semi-major character) and introduces some characters from ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}''. Season four just gets crazy, with ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', the Nintendo [=3DS=] AR games (sort of), ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', ''Franchise/MegaMan'', ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'', ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', a cameo of Tony Hawk, ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' (sort of), ''Manga/OnePiece'', and [[spoiler:''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama.'']] Season five so far adds {{Dracula}}, a mention of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser and his crew]], a ton of horror game parodies, another celebrity cameo (David Hasselhoff, though he debuted in HUC) and ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' into the mix and confirms aformentioned ''Steven Universe'', but there's still two chapters to go. ''Then'' there's the ''actual'' references. Not only is the story mostly a really warped play to ''Majora's Mask'', but ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' have either been talked about or bits of them have been seen. In Conker's case, his game was either made into a movie or it was a movie to begin with.



* RuleSixtyThree: This one is actually a little bit complicated. First, after ''finally'' getting back to Chicago and entering Scratch's tower, the Crew is capture by Stitch and he genderbends all of them for kicks. After the Crew breaks free adn Stitch runs away, they encounter [[spoiler:Ichigo trying to seal a portal to Hell that Scratch had opened prior. He gets distracted by the Crew's arrivals long enough for Homer's ghost to sneak through and threaten to kill and double-kill the Crew. Equius fires a light arrow at him, reincarnating him to Hank Hill who teaches them the Ballad of Duality, which reverts the gender changes (and undoes all injuries) and creates an OppositeSexClone of every member of the Crew.]] According to [[spoiler:Hank]], the fact that the Crew was genderbent prior had nothing to do with their counterparts being genderbent, which is what makes it a tad bit more... well, complicated.



** Chapter 9 has the Pikmin intern's chance of "PUNISH HIM! PUNISH HIM!" Whenever the Crew tries to negotiate, and Jake's responding "NOOOOO DON'T PUNISH ME!"
** Extremely cheesy chants for magic spells. Like Pip's [[spoiler:reviving Tavros, Feferi, Equius, Gamzee, Eridan, and Vriska]]: "Alakazam! Biggity boo! Life!" Or how Stitch uses his powers in this fic (he is the only Felt member whose powers are modified that wasn't dead by the start of the canon intermission): "Oogala boogala, CHANGE THEIR SEX!"
** Each chapter of season four has the team encountering a certain "X People" in the regions, who are all described as being [[WritersCannotDoMath halves of three things]], and all turn out to actually be friendly.



* {{Troll}}:
** Stitch seems to be one, given how after being attacked by Rufioh, he swaps the entire Crew's sex for practically no reason, and then leaves them to stumble onto a trap.
** Rose goes from being a rather unpleasant leader to this, especially to Dave. She openly admits at the end of chapter 15 that she says outrageous things just to get Dave angry.



* 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)....

** In general, all of the male leads start running around in dresses matching those of the female leads at a certain point onward. They form a big group like this. Nobody says a thing.
** There's also a point in the story where a UFO shoots down an airplane and the former's inhabitants, Xenomorphs from ''Alien'' (except sentient), get into a fight with the inhabitants of the airplane -- or at least, one of the Xenomorphs. The rest are all much saner, and decide to ''hail taxis'' and get no flack for this in spite of being... well, Xenomorphs. Then again, trolls completely co-exist with humans so it's implied that aliens aren't that odd of a sight in this world.
** Several characters run around in revealing outfits almost all of the time, a faint few practically naked. It's implied that this isn't that big of a deal outside of the US in this world, and even in the US it's ''extremely'' lax.
** Doc Scratch. He's finally revealed in chapter 15 to be a giant puppet brought to life with dark magic in this verse, and other lines imply that he shares the same [[http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Doc_Scratch appearance]] he does in canon. His apartment is also revealed to be a giant, green EvilTowerOfOminousness that sticks out of the rest of Chicago. Yet everyone treats him like a regular citizen.
** Generally any celebrities with special abilities. Like Tony Hawk, who in this story is capable of turning into a literal giant talking hawk and uses this to break into a library to help the Crew fight against a half-demon-horse, half-skeleton monster who goes by the name of Darkhorse. All that happens is that he gets shushed by the librarians. Or David Hasselhoff, who [[GentleGiant became a hundred feet tall]] after eating ''Mario'' mushrooms (the fake-author of the work believes that he was giant in his appearance in the ''Spongebob'' movie, and this was apparantly a reference to it, not that Spongebob and Patrick were tiny).
** Averted with the [[HumongousMecha Death Mecha]] in chapter 12; after being freed, he proceeds to wreck up the fortress he was sealed in and the people inside freak out and call the military.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainBall: Doc Scratch, definitely as of season five. It's been only one chapter focused on the newer Felt apartment (now called a "tower"), and already it ''lifts itself from the ground and flips itself upside down'' after a certain button is pressed at the bottom, which is supposed to be a way for Felt members to get out (getting the required 64 person-weight needed by making clones via time travel) even if it's inconvenient. This was intentional, as the original plan was for the button to simply spring them out, but the author thought that a needless inverse of the tower (complete with knocking Scratch on his ass) would be funnier.
-->'''Scratch:''' WHY THE HELL?
* WalkingSpoiler:
** [[spoiler:Homer Simpson. Practically every development in the story on his side -- his trip from Meenah's moronic minion, to being fired and joining the Rainbow Crew, to getting knocked into nuclear waste by Meenah's Stalfos, to getting killed by the Master Cheif while trying to attack Integra (the reason Integra's ''there'' is because Alucard's ''dead'' by this point), to being reincarnated as Hank Hill.]]
** Hank Hill himself, as his origin gives away... pretty much everything in the above bullet point.
** Practically [[OnceASeason each season]] bar the first has an "unexpected addition" of an ensemble. Season two had the [=A1=] trolls, and a LateArrivalSpoiler of Meenah deciding to join the Crew. Season three had the Pikmin and their Onions. Season four had the ancestors and guardians, the only groups so far confirmed to not be "permanent" additions to the Crew (although they ''do'' help them out frequently starting from here, and have even joined them in both the jury duty quests and the trips back home). And as of now, season five has the [[OppositeSexClone counterparts.]]
** The counterparts specifically, because they don't appear until over halfway through the story, only get the slightest hints to their existances, are implied from the first chapter they appear in to give insight on their original selve's character by form of being slightly different yet similar to them, and their origins are tied to at least two more walking spoilers. ([[spoiler:Hank and Homer]].)
** John, Jade, and Rose. Given that their actions and development in the later half of the story is all about their backstories, they quickly become this.
** Because of the way this story and what it's a spinoff to is structured, it's impossible to completely and uttery avoid spoilers of the other story unless you had them both open and read the chapters of both of them in chronological order.


Added DiffLines:

* WritersCannotDoMath:Invoked.
** The Crew is all on "Floor -2," then falls to "Floor -5." Nepeta says this:
--->"Oh no according to this WE HIT FIFVE FLOORS BELOW! That was A TWO FLOOR BIG FALL!"
** The jungle/tundra/sea/desert people are all half human, half X, and half Y. And to add insult to injury, some of these "halves" don't make any sense. Like "half poison."
