Context Trivia / Airlocked

Go To

1* ActorAllusion: In Round 5, Junpei takes a ShowerOfAngst that lasts all day [[NonNudeBathing without taking his clothes off]]. Sounds a little like [[Roleplay/DanganRoleplayRoundThree someone else the mun played]].
2* AscendedFanon: Some elements introduced in KinkMeme fills become canon in Roleplay/AirlockedRoundOne, especially the FanConvention plot (complete with a loss in the cosplay contest) and Jaycee's mention that [[spoiler:some conspiracy theorists on Spitter are starting to figure out that it's all real.]]
3* AuthorPhobia: Space, inspiring the game itself.
4* CameoProp: The "[[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Plumbus]]" item and various references to "6969," starting with the modesty uniforms and increasing by a lot in Round 2.
5* {{Defictionalization}}: Not all of it is ''intentional'' (see the "''Airlocked'' keeps becoming real" meme), but sometimes the players do recreate things from the game on purpose... even [[https://imgur.com/a/Z6s91 Round 5, Case 5's murder weapon]] (don't worry, the real ones won't actually kill you).
6* LifeImitatesArt: From people who aren't in the game innocuously mentioning their D&D character named Temerity (same species, too) to an exposé about ''Series/TheBachelor'' being released at the same time as a Giada de Laurentiis cookbook, this has happened so often that it became a meme.
7* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: ''Literature/{{Fragments}}'' hadn't been published when Nari was apped to the game; her player, the original author, apped her as an OC.
8* TheOtherDarrin: Blaze Dudely is [=NPCed=] by different muns depending on the round so the other can play the other Overseer. Round 3's Blaze was played by the mod who played Rox Petuu in Round 4, and Round 4's Blaze by the mod who played Aiden Price in Round 3.
9* OutdatedByCanon: A lot of fic on the KinkMeme is weird to look back on when things written during Round 2 assume that [[spoiler:Kip wasn't FakingTheDead]] and things written before the Round 5 finale involve [[spoiler:Nina in any of her forms, but especially a Cece who was who she said she was]].
10* RealitySubtext: Round 1, Case 5 approximately reflects its own development. [[spoiler: Kurumi's player suggested to Ricky's player that they volunteer their characters together, the two of them plotting a murder-suicide by Kurumi, only for them to unexpectedly learn that Lightning's player had volunteered her for the same week.]] In the case itself, [[spoiler: Kurumi invited Ricky to meet for breakfast, then murdered her with the intention of committing suicide afterward, only for Lightning to unexpectedly walk in on the scene.]]
11* ShrugOfGod: Some KinkMeme fills are taken as, while not quite canon, acceptable explanations or "might as well be canon" by the players and mods. For example, [[https://livestudioaudience.dreamwidth.org/314.html?thread=2232122#cmt2232122 this one]], which fills in a PlotHole that Round 4 caused to the final investigations of Round 1.
12* SimilarlyNamedWorks: Nothing to do with the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fan adventure with the blue aliens.
13* TypeCasting: While R2's Ardyn seemed like a perfectly NiceGuy, players and viewers who hadn't even touched ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' were immediately suspicious because of the mun's [[Roleplay/DanganRoleplayRoundTwo storied]] [[Roleplay/TrustfellRoundOne previous]] [[Roleplay/Trustfell4TrustFallOrDieHard career]]. (And to think, before Kirei came along, [[Roleplay/DramaDramaDuck she played]] [[Roleplay/TheVelvetKey cinnamon rolls]].)
14* UnexpectedCharacter: In Round 4, [[spoiler:the final reserve list was posted with Bolton, Jamie, and Max added to it, doubling as an announcement that this was a [[DoomedByCanon doomed]] {{prequel}}.]] In Round 5, [[spoiler:players thought the survivors who hadn't been apped to the round would just be handwaved out. Then Week 5 gave a motive of executing them one by one until someone died.]]
15* ViralMarketing: The mod account gave out cryptic words like "hurricane" and "eight" regularly leading up to and through the Round 1 intermission.
16* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There initially wasn't going to be a deadland. Hard to believe, given how important and influential deadland turned out to be in the final product.
