Paradox space has fallen, consumed by a black hole large enough to contain a multiverse. No longer must our heroes toil in the service of the "alpha timeline." The Prince and his Seers seek to preserve the Canon-That-Was at great personal and narrative cost. But inside the black hole, those who the paradox once discarded seek to claw back to relevance and escape to the Fanontinuum, a new fabric of story and space woven by the hands of new narrators, thousands of voices that fill the vacuum left by the death of the author.

* BreakingOldTrends: When Terezi commands Dirk to do a typical "[X] like a [Y]" action, he almost goes through with it before Terezi gets mad that he didn't reject it comedically. The other intro trend of doing weird things until the narrative sets them back on track is completely skipped over, instead having Dirk tell the audience he did all of that and just showing the aftermath.

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.

* RevisitingTheRoots: The suggestion box is back, after disappearing near the end of year one of Homestuck.

* AscendedMeme: Terezi mentions having perused Dirk's "book about horses" and been deeply confused by it, particular a part about memes; this is a clear reference to the ''Pony Pals'' book that Dirk defaced, and more specifically to [[Fanfic/PonyPalsDirkStriderEdition the fanmade full verison]]. She even quotes the iconic line "Remember Longcat, Jane?" directly.

* CardCarryingVillain: Ultimate Dirk.

-->ROSEBOT: I'd say it's more of an ontological, existential headache, but that already describes [[TimeyWimeyBall basically everything that's ever happened to us up until now]].\\
ROSEBOT: And also sounds as fake as shit.
