* SpiritualSuccessor - Besides ''Calliope's Update Girl'' and ''Inception of a Masterpiece'', ''Calliope and the Final Update'' has also spawned ''Caliborn's Stories'', a series in which Caliborn comments on everything from ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' to ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' to ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' to ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', in the familiar Homosuck style.

* An in-universe blog, run (mainly) by Rose Lalonde. The same blog was also used by [=ASBusinessMagnet=] in our world to talk about ''Calliope's Update Girl'' and announce updates. However, it was eventually deleted by the author, with some writing being rescued in the form of ''Calliope's Update Girl - Musings from the Tumblr Blog'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/19224247 AO3 only]]).

* DeweyDefeatsTruman - It seems that [=ASBusinessMagnet=]'s favorite pastime is writing something TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, and then getting it wrong. From the author's notes:
-->My prediction for the future: You will be able to say "Webcomic/{{Jailbreak}}" without anyone thinking that you're talking about [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E49JailBreak the Steven Universe episode]].

-->Prediction status: X[[note]]The chapter was written in October 2014. It is set in April [[{{Retcon}} 2017]]. ''Jailbreak'' (the episode) premiered in March 2015.[[/note]]
** Among other things, [=ASBusinessMagnet=] didn't foresee ''herself coming out as UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}''.

* FanDumb - The ''Homestuck'' fandom, at times. Most notably, they insist that ''Homestuck'' is all about the trolls, and even infect the actual characters with the thought. [[invoked]]

Added DiffLines:

* ArgumentOfContradictions - Known as "the Equius way of settling arguments" in-universe (due to its use in ''Homestuck''), Karkat attempts to be GenreSavvy about it and cut Equius off after a single "D --> No", but ends up doing it anyway. Hussie and Eridan also partake in this.

* TyopOnTheCover - All the characters' chumhandles are misspelled, though for varying reasons:
** The beta kids vary between different chumhandles (though, Rose prefers to just add numbers to hers), because those keep getting taken by different people.
** The trolls each have their own misspelling, which they stick to consistently.

* TyopOnTheCover - All the ''Homestuck'' characters' chumhandles are misspelled, not what they are in canon, though for varying reasons:
** The beta kids vary between different chumhandles (though, Rose prefers to just add numbers to hers), ostensibly because those keep getting taken by different people.
** The trolls each have their own misspelling, which they stick to consistently.consistently; as Kanaya has figured out, a roleplayer with a particular misspelling will stick to it, and therefore there's no need to constantly switch around.



** Then there's [=MeAndMyReflection=], who misspells because she is not a native English speaker.

The characters have largely abandoned the goal of reading ''Homestuck'', as Her Imperious Condescension and company are planning to do ''something''.
