5	* James's very name is full of references, in the Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn version.
6	--> [[{{Main/TheProdigyFandom}} James]] [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} Emile]] [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Cipher]] [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine Drew]] [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Dimentio]] [[{{Main/TheProdigyFandom}} Prodigy]].
7	---> Interestingly, aside from [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} Emile]], all of these have to do with supernatural books in some way or another.
8	----> [[{{Main/TheProdigyFandom}} James Prodigy]] is the main parts of his name. He also just so happens to be the owner of the '''Book of Iwata'''.
9	----> [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] is the muse of Stanford Pines, who '''wrote the three supernatural Journals of his series.'''
10	----> [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine Joey Drew]] is the author of '''Illusion of Living, a book of bringing cartoons to life.'''
11	----> Theories float about that [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Dimentio]] is the author of the '''Dark Prognosticus, a book capable of summoning a world ending void.'''
12	* The Book of Iwata is a reference to SatoruIwata.
13	* According to [[{{WordOfGod}} the official timeline]], James was gone for two weeks and returned in [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine ink]] and white dust.

17
18	* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. Lots of Undertale.
19	** Outright {{Lampshaded}} in Behind The Scenes (Chapter 8), where Flowey, and DETERMINATION are both stated, followed by...
20	-->''All Undertale jokes aside, I'm determined to finish this chapter. Okay, okay, I'll really stop.''
21	*** He doesn't stop. Later down the line in the same chapter, it is stated he is humming ''Gaster's Theme''
22	** In the tour of Smash Mansion, he gets distracted, thinking about TV shows that seem to closely resemble Mettaton's - quiz show, cooking class, news reports, musicals, and a grand finale he hasn't seen yet.
23	*** More subtle, but his left eye shining brighter than his right when he gets pissed seems to match [[spoiler:Sans]].
24	** In ''The Pie Is A Lie'', James and Reflet make a butterscotch-cinnamon pie.
25
26	* ''Literature/The39Clues'', of all series. This is very subtle, but a quote from [[spoiler:Day of Doom]] appears, altered a tiny bit.
27	--> It will all begin. And end. Spectacularly. '''-[[spoiler:Damien Vesper in ''Day of Doom'']].'''
28	--> And in a few seconds, it would all begin. [...] And end. [...] Spectacularly. '''-The version used in Uncommon Sense.'''
29
30	* ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''. The chapter name for one of the chapters is titled ''The Pie Is A Lie'', a blatant nod to Portal's (in)famous ''the cake is a lie''.
31
32	* ''Literature/TheTaleOfTwoCities''. Yes. The chapter ''A Tale Of Two Tacticians'' begins with an excerpt of the first paragraph, parodied to be Smash Bros. styled, followed by being {{Lampshaded}}.
33	--> ''Okay, okay. Enough Tale Of Two Cities paraphrasing, let's get on with it.'' '''-after the parodied paragraph.
34
35	* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''. Master Hand states that James reminds him of Ash Upton, from this series.
36
37	* There is also a reference to ''Literature/SnowWhite''. The little rhymes in the summary, cipher, and story content of chapter 14, Murder Murder, seem slightly based off SnowWhite's 'mirror, mirror' rhyme.
38	-->''Mirror, mirror, on the wall.'''''-Snow White version'''
39	-->''Murder, murder, on the wall.'''''-Uncommon Sense, chapter 14'''
40
41	* A second LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} reference in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo says the phrase ''To come wel Soonmide'', the title of Chuggaaconroy's Moonside episode.
42

46
47	* James' description of barriers like the one keeping Giratina in makes it sound like [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}}a very similar barrier is locking monsterkind underground.]]
48	* ''Erujiku And The Rising Spell'' is full of shout outs.
49	** VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine reference. A few, actually.
50	*** The page on summoning demons is page 210, which matches the release date of ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' Chapter One's release date.
51	*** It was also 2 days, 17 hours, and 17 minutes before Erujiku snapped, a second reference to the release date (2/10/17)
52	*** James mutters something about Bendy and ink, although it was misheard by others.
53	----> ''The ground bubbled in a manner similar to ink bubbling. James muttered something about bending ink,''
54	*** Finally, it is hinted that James believes Erujiku holds Bendy's spirit, due to certain quotes and scenes from the demon and James.
55	----> ''Erujiku suddenly raised his hand, and Giratina was suddenly trapped as black chains of ink and magic formed,''
56	----> ''Or he wasn't drawing inky lines on Giratina like a coroner.''
57	----> ''"HENRY COULD DO THAT. JOEY TOO. NOT THE KNIFE, BUT... RED. RED SOMETHING." The demon said.''
58	----> ''Erujiku fell to the ground, melting into ink. "Ciao, Bendy." James said,''
59	-----> This final quote could be James just guessing, but it isn't likely.
60	** Erujiku also holds a reference to Sebastian from ''Manga/BlackButler'', being remarkably similar in appearance. This is {{Lampshaded}} by James thinking the demon's name is Sebestian - not Erujiku, like it turns out to be.
61	* The mentioned pages that Diancie reads with very little description in ''Studying'' are summed in two to four words. This one line has five references.
62	----> Pages on [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine ink demons]], [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} determined flowers]], [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 a devil's machine]], [[VideoGame/Portal2 a computer called GLaDOS]], [[{{VideoGame/Skyrim}} dragon born]], and more pages.
63	** These same pages are called back in Came Back Fast And Furious.
64	* The sixth chapter is called... [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Came Back Fast And Furious]].
