* {{Cameo}}: Like with many askblogs, askers may appear in answer posts, as long as a model or stand-in can be found.

* OffModel: Sometimes the wrong team color is used either for the characters or their equipment, often due to oversight, though certain versions of the Fluttermedic model lack the correct skingroup.

* {{Expy}}: All of the characters are expies of the respective classes with some of their own personalities mixed in. It's later explained by Rarispy that there's a good reason for this: [[spoiler: Not only are they clones imbued with the DNA of the respetive classes, but a bit later it was also revealed that they've been brainwashed by the Trollestia Anthrosniper]] as it so happens, this effectively helped justify Rarispy's GratuitousFrench to an extent.

* ReferenceOverdosed / ShoutOut: As with most of Mattwo's storywriter's work.
* {{Retcon}}: As part of a rebranding Doctor Whooves and Twilight Sparkle's absurd nicknames were dropped, and all the ponies are now referred to as "Mattwo's (name)" or "The (name) from Mattwo's universe as instead of being from merged worlds, they are now native to his universe.

* RuleOfFunny: A few posts contain one-off gags of dubious continuity.
* SpinOff: Of AskMat2
* UnscientificScience: See {{Retcon}}.

* PaintingTheMedium: While at first the comic primarily used the Anime Ace font, it later primarily used the "TF2 Build" font and the colors of the text varied based on who was talking. Though the TF2 font did not support Russian characters so [[http://askequestriabluteamarchives.tumblr.com/post/116794743316/storywriter-the-joke-here-is-pretty-vague-but Heavy Mac was a notable exception]], though his font color still matched his coat color.

** Pinkie Pyro was originally called Pinkie Piero. [[http://askequestriabluteam.tumblr.com/post/62360528823/spyity-grammatical-errors-aside-yes-but-it Mattwo's storywriter forgot this fact]], and when he was later reminded, he promptly changed it, as he realized how ridiculous it sounded.

* Crossover: Aside from crossovers with other blogs in Mattwo's universe, there was the short-lived "Gmod Box".
