* FakeRealTurn: The Superzeroes project started as a joke that Austin came up while in quarantine. It proved unexpectedly popular with his audience, so he decided to make it for real.

He's also successfully funded a Cat-Man movie, as well as a film based on ''Atlas: Man of Might''.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Back during his days in the ''lonelygirl15'' fandom, he once remarked that he could make a better show if he had the same set-up. Then as if the fickle finger of fate said "LetsSeeYouDoBetter", he ended up getting to make his own official spin-off and discovered that running a web series is a lot harder than it looks.

* FixFic: [[https://youtu.be/TSQJ9W4SxiQ He proposes one for]] Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild. After he summarizes how the fixed play would go, he would list a few of the key changes:
** First, the Time Turner is only briefly mentioned in the rewrite, so there would be no TimeyWimeyBall.
** Second, the original trio would have something to do [[spoiler: as they would have an adultery subplot.]]
** Third, there are real stakes.
** Fourth, the villain is original: [[spoiler: Delphi is actually an old witch]].
** Finally, the rewrite has a balance of something old and something new.

* UnusualEuphemism: Enforced in his Cursed Child rewrite: he takes an [[NonSequitur otherwise meaningless]] bit about toffee from the original, and expands that "toffee" is a code term Harry and Hermione use around the office [[spoiler: so no one finds out they're having an affair]].
