* EasilyForgiven: In Candy, Gamzee claims that all his sins have been absolved and can't be held against him because he's had a redemption arc. Despite him acting just as awful as ever, Jane, Roxy, Calliope, and society as a whole agree.

* DeadGuyJunior: In the Candy timline, [[spoiler: Rose and Kanaya adopt a troll who happens to be an exact clone of Vriska, and so they name her Vriska, assuming that their Vriska is dead.]] [[spoiler: Jane and Jake's son is named Tavros; presumably it was Gamzee's idea, but since they knew Tavros as a sprite in the post-retcon timeline, they most likely agreed to it, though it's unknown if Sprite!Tavros is still alive or not]].



* GenderFlip: In both timelines. [[spoiler:In Meat, without John around, Roxy drifts through nonbinary and eventually ends up identifying as male, while in Candy, Jade mentions that if she, Dave and Karkat had a baby, neither of the latter would be the father, implying that she's also inherited Bec's maleness as well.]]

* SplitTimelinesPlot: [[spoiler:As the Candy and Meat routes progress, the epilogue is revealed to be this. The dead trolls sucked into the blackhole in Meat find themselves in the world of Candy. Muse!Calliope is explicitly the same in both routes simultaneously, as the body she's possessing in Candy is the Jade in the timeline created by John in Meat, acting in Meat to wrest control of the narrative back from Dirk, and in Candy to head him off and punish him for throwing things OffTheRails as he heads towards that world with Rose.]]

to:

* PutOnABus: The only sprite character to make an appearance is Davepetasprite in Meat, once John's back in canon. None of the other sprites seem to exist any more.
** TheBusCameBack: ...however, thanks to getting sucked into the black hole, Aradia, Sollux, Eridan and Feferi all appear in the Candy timeline.
* SplitPersonalityMerge: The 'ultimate self'. [[spoiler:As time has been progressing, both Rose and Dirk have been assimilating their alternate selves. To Rose this causes painful headaches and delerium; Dirk has been able to compartmentalize it better, but owing to a number of his alternate selves being [[{{Jerkass}} jerkasses]] he's gone through a FaceHeelTurn. While this seems to end in Candy as John further detaches the universe from canonicity, at the end of that timeline Dave also realizes his ultimate self.]]

In Candy, though free from Dirk's influences, Jane does it anyway, becoming even more xenophobic to the point of war with the trolls, and openly abusive to Jake.]]

** Internally within the epilogues themselves, this can happen if you read the Candy path first. [[spoiler:Muse!Calliope, possessing a dead instance of Jade - who is from the Meat route - discusses with Aradia the nature of narrative voices, and how the nature of a narrative can be retroactively altered when the narration is revealed to be a character in themselves. In the Meat narrative, it's revealed that the narrator is Dirk and he is actively controlling the narrative to force his friends along the path of his own design, until Muse!Calliope arrives and overrides his control for a time.]]
