History Webcomic / HomestuckBeyondCanon

* IncestSubtext: Dirk and Rosebot's "game" started with combining their DNA into new species, which both lampshade the implications behind immediately (and is the explicit reason they mess with the genetic codes each iteration until they're unrecognizable). Later, when the stage is set to guide their new species towards playing its version of SBURB, Rosebot sarcastically refers to their work as "starting a family", and their bonding moment in the break before the plan gets put into motion has them leaning on each other and overlooking their species' respective domains.

* ContemplateOurNavels: Dirk tends to do this '''a lot''', specifically on the nature of story-telling, mediums, canonicity, etc. It's so insufferable that Terezi [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech explodes in frustration over the fact that he cares more about the nature of stories then exploring a new planet]].

-->[[cinnamon:There. Much better. We're adults, for god's sake.]]

* ArtisticAge: The art style makes it hard to distinguish the ages of characters. John looks the same age as his teenage son, when he's supposed to be several years older than him.

Andrew Hussie has stated that this comic -- like [[Literature/TheHomestuckEpilogues the Epilogues]] on which it follows up -- is intended to explore various ideas and themes about the very concept of "canon" itself, blurring the lines between {{Fanon}} and canon, and should be treated as a separate-but-connected entity to the original ''Homestuck''. Or not, depending on if you want to. Hussie himself is directly involved in the project, producing a general outline of the story; however, much of the actual writing is to be done by a series of other writers.

* OneSteveLimit: Vriska Serket gives Vriska Lalonde-Maryam the nickname of "Vrissy" to evoke this trope. It's at least a step up from how they handled her name before, where her name was in (parenthesis).

* OlderThanTheyLook: The art style makes it hard to distinguish the ages of characters. John looks the same age as his teenage son, when he's supposed to be several years older than him.

** Chapter 15 begins with a parody of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' intro, with its take on the CouchGag saying "[[ScheduleSlip Now Demi-Bi-Monthly]".

* ShoutOut: Hussie gave Bro Strider [[TriangleShades pointy anime shades]] without knowing about [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], but fans immediately made the connection to another badass 'bro' figure with the style. Dirk takes things full circle and wears a recolored version of Kamina's outfit.

* FirstWorldProblems: Generally no sympathy is thrown Tavros' way for his controlled and stifled home life because he's obscenely wealthy. Oddly enough, only Vrissy is able to defend him on this point because ''all'' of the current gen descendants are from wealthy families and it's not fair to discriminate against him for that.
