History YMMV / CVGWJames

* ArchivePanic: He has over ''five hundred'' fanfics on his [=FanFiction=] profile alone, and over '''seven thousand''' deviations on [=DeviantArt=].

* HilariousInHindsight: He’s predicted quite a few things in his [=SMG4=] fanfics.
** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13891262/1/Ghost-SMG3-and-The-Axol-Menace-An-SMG4-Story "Ghost [=SMG3=] & The Axol Menace"]] featured an evil alternate universe Axol as the main antagonist. Then we actually would get an evil Axol about three months later in the [[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64BloopersGenesisArc Genesis Arc]], courtesy of [[DemonicPossession [=Ax0l=]]].
** Speaking of [=SMG3=], back when he was a Mario recolor, a lot of James' drawings of the character depicted him in a purple color scheme, rather than the dark blue coloration his canon portrayal is known for. Flash forward to his redesign in 2022, and his color scheme has now been made more purple.
** In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14143586/1/Nothing-To-Fear-Meggy-an-SMG4-story "Nothing To Fear, Meggy"]], set during the events of [[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64BloopersTheLawsuitArc the Lawsuit Arc]], a throwaway line suggests [[MeanCharacterNiceActor Funky Kong]] [[ButIPlayOneOnTV is playing the role of Lawyer Kong]]. Come the arc's finale, we find out that [[spoiler:Lawyer Kong really ''is'' Funky Kong]].
** In a case of one [=SMG4=] fan project predicting another, [[https://www.deviantart.com/metropro536 MetroPro536]] made [[https://www.deviantart.com/metropro536/art/Gmod-SMG4-Meggy-Y-Desti-Hope-938989939 this picture]] of Meggy and Desti referencing [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersDontHugMeImMario "Don’t Hug Me I’m Mario"]] a whopping two days after [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14165531/1/Don-t-Hug-Meggy-and-Desti-We-re-Scared-an-SMG4-AU James' story based on that episode]], also with Meggy and Desti as the main characters.[[note]]Although one key difference is that the Desti model used for the picture is her custom human model made by Wing Fury and C_art, while the Desti in James' story is clearly an Octoling, as evidenced by both the narration describing her as such and the illustration using her distinct Octoling hair.[[/note]]
** Tari sees through and shatters Dr. Sheridan's illusion while stuck in a LotusEaterMachine in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14244808/1/SMG4-The-Madness-of-Doctor-Sheridan "The Madness of Doctor Sheridan"]], [[spoiler:and eventually would do the same with One-Shot Wren's in ''[[WebAnimation/SMG4MovieWesternSpaghetti [=SMG4=] Movie: Western Spaghetti]]'']].
** Mario threatens to leak [=SMG4's=] search history in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14238184/1/SMG4-and-the-Tunnel-of-Doom-Challenge-an-SMG4-story "SMG4 and the Tunnel of Doom Challenge"]]. Then he actually does it in the ''WebAnimation/SMG4Crew'' video "Mario Reacts To [=SMG4's=] Browser History".
** It's not just [=SMG4-related=] things he accurately predicts either. His drawing of [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]] [[https://www.deviantart.com/cvgwjames/art/Big-the-Cat-as-Kingpin-aka-The-Bigpin-by-James-M-899647844 as a crime lord]] is eerily similar to [[https://sonic.sega.jp/SonicChannel/special/sidestory/ohgiri/20230925_008358/ this image in a Sonic-themed calender]], which was released later.

* ArchivePanic: He has over ''five hundred'' fanfics on his [=FanFiction=] profile alone, and over '''six thousand''' deviations on [=DeviantArt=].

* CrossoverShip: Characters from differing franchises have gotten together for his romance stories, most notably Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog x [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]].

** [[spoiler:It's kind of hard to read stories that paint One-Shot Wren in a positive light, such as [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14248128/1/Wild-West-Wren-an-SMG4-story "Wild West Wren"]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14248298/1/The-Champion-s-Challenge-an-SMG4-Weegeepie-story "The Champion's Challenge"]], knowing what we know about him in ''[[WebAnimation/SMG4MovieWesternSpaghetti [=SMG4=] Movie: Western Spaghetti]]''. Ditto for any and every drawing James made that depict Wren in a positive light, like [[https://www.deviantart.com/cvgwjames/art/Mario-meets-Oneshot-Wren-in-the-wild-west-SMG4-968699386https://www.deviantart.com/cvgwjames/art/Mario-meets-Oneshot-Wren-in-the-wild-west-SMG4-968699386 this one.]]

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14074811/1/SMG4-What-If-Finishing-Unfinished-Buisness-Desti-Vs-Sephiroth "SMG4 What If: Finishing Unfinished Buisness"]] picks up from where [[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersWhatIf "What if Desti never died?"]] left off, with a fight to the death between Desti and Sephiroth with the sole purpose of avenging Meggy. [[spoiler:Desti succeeds in killing Sephiroth and avenging Meggy, by the way.]]
** Even shortly after [[spoiler:losing Axol]], Melony does ''not'' give up without a fight whenever a MonsterOfTheWeek attacks her in James' stories, whether it's a [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14161730/1/Melony-and-the-Melon-Monster-an-SMG4-story watermelon monster]] or [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14167306/1/Melony-in-The-Freddy-Mansion-an-SMG4-FNAF-story the animatronics from]] ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys''.
** Senbo has demonstrated some particularly impressive fighting and surviving skills since the events of ''Fanfic/SaikoRocks''. He fought [[VideoGame/VsSonicExe Starved Eggman]] and survived ''twice'', and participated in a Turf War during his stay in Inkopolis [[spoiler:and won for his team]]. Not bad for a kid who originally hid from the police after faking Tari's death.
** Heck, ''most'' of the Splatfest battles in James' stories qualify. Special mention goes to [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14159694/1/SMG4-The-Splatfest-Rematch-an-SMG4-What-If "The Splatfest Rematch"]] a proper Splatfest match between Meggy and Desti's teams in [=SMG4's=] [[WebAnimation/SMG4TheAnimeArc Anime Arc]] before [[spoiler:Francis' mass kidnapping of Inkopolis]]. It even ends with [[spoiler:Meggy's team winning, and she and Desti growing a mutual respect]].
** Readers of ''Fanfic/SaikoRocks'' may recall Tari saving baby animals from poachers in a concurrent adventure. Now they get to see how the encounter went down in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14235615/1/Tari-s-Savanah-Animal-Rescue-an-SMG4-story "Tari's Savanah Animal Rescue"]], where the normally-pacifistic girl gets her hands dirty taking them on.
** The premise of [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14263976/1/Waluigi-v-Shaggy-Rage-Against-Ultra-Instinct-an-SMG4-story "Waluigi v Shaggy: Rage Against Ultra-Instinct"]] is an epic battle against Ultra Instinct Shaggy and [=WaluRambo=] Waluigi. [[spoiler:Shaggy wins]].

** It's hard to read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14219524/1/Peach-s-Rocket-Escape-an-SMG4-story "Peach's Rocket Escape"]], knowing that [[spoiler:she wouldn't get the chance to do that in the [=SMG4=] series]].

* HarsherInHindsight: [[spoiler:It's kind of hard to read stories that paint One-Shot Wren in a positive light, such as [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14248128/1/Wild-West-Wren-an-SMG4-story "Wild West Wren"]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14248298/1/The-Champion-s-Challenge-an-SMG4-Weegeepie-story "The Champion's Challenge"]], knowing what we know about him in ''[[WebAnimation/SMG4MovieWesternSpaghetti [=SMG4=] Movie: Western Spaghetti]]''.]]
