Line 80:

** [[Lipstick Lesbian|Kanaya]] canonically has an unrequited crush on Vriska, and fans believe that she may be developing feelings for [[Interspecies Romance|Rose]].

*** At one point, Kanaya considers leaving the others and their adventures behind and staying on the meteor, but Rose convinces her to come with them. Not [[Ship Tease|shippy]] in and of itself...except for the fact that immediately after Karkat starts complaining that everyone is hitting on each other, and Sollux seems to agree.

* [[Hype Aversion]]: Boy ''howdy.'' The [[Stalker with a Crush|creepy]], [[The Pig Pen|unwashed]], and occasionally violent portion of the fanbase doesn't help this, either.

Line 119:

* [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]: How some viewed the troll romance shenanigans and subsequent exploration of terms.

** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by John in [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004528 this page]

** John/Vriska is unique in that it's the only directly stated and serious romance that has developed during the story, as all other romances were part of the character's motivations from the start. This has caused many to respond to it with vitriol.

** Act 6. Although it might be a parody, given that it centers around [[Memetic Sex God]] Jake.

Line 139:

** Act 6 beginning with the B2 Kids was pretty widely anticipated and expected, though some doubt was thrown into the mix with ambiguity if the Scratch worked.

*** Noted as such by Andrew Hussie on [http://mspandrew.tumblr.com/post/12680094125/answers his tumblr]:

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: A surprising number of people thought Kanaya was [[Bishonen|a really girly boy]] before [[Word of God]] confirmed her gender.

** Mostly because the kids didn't know her gender and called her a him in their conversations.

** Eventually acknowledged in a conversation:

* [[Wangst]]: Parodied with John's angst towards his dad. His lack of a problem is lampshaded by Rose on [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002074 this page.] Also parodied with Rose; although her mother may be a legitimately unpleasant person (it's hard to say), Rose seems to interpret her every action as an attempt to spite her.

Line 152:

*** Darkleer, at least according to Mindfang (although that might just be her being unsympathetic).

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Hussie had planned ''Heroes of Light: Strife'', an epic animation for round two of the battle between Grimdark Rose and Bec Noir (round one can be seen [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005596 here], as well as the battle between Vriska and Bec Noir that would have been set to [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/at-the-price-of-oblivion this] but--

{{quote|'''Hussie:''' The planned animation would have been a major escalation in production value. The sophistication of the animations has increased over time, and part of the point of this for me is to keep pushing the envelope, but there are limits to how far you can go. It's good to keep pushing and find your limits and test them, but realistically you'll have to pull back at some point. Because that is what a limit is. A line between something you can do, and something that is literally impossible.~~ ~~

I'm not saying the animation I had in mind was impossible, but it was approaching scary territory. I just made a judgment and decided it wasn't worth the energy, all things considered.|(More details [http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/203816765505956791 here])}}

** So instead, the fight is shown in an abridged, narrated, slideshow-like format starting [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005682 here].

Line 192:

** Roxy is a more recent example. Some see her as an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] for some of her [[Crowning Moment of Funny|drinking moments.]] Some find the underaged drinking [[Dude, Not Funny|not so funny.]]

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: During the Act 4 finale, we see [[Curb Stomp Battle|Jack slaughtering the white and black armies]] and [[Colony Drop|smashing Skaia and Prospit's moon together.]] Then we have a quick [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Squiddles!]] clip.

** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004970 Later], and completely apropos of nothing, a Vriska-manipul8ted Hussie rides [[The Neverending Story (film)|Falcor]] (with rapidly cycling pool-ball eyes, no less), who barfs on some bullies.

** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005286 And then he does something even more ridiculous.]

Line 316:

** Doc Scratch holding Aradia's ancestor The Handmaid hostage can be chock full of this if you read his chatlogs with Rose.

*** He even dresses her, cuts off her "furniture privelages", beats her, and she's already been shown to try to commit suicide once. It's not subtle at all. It Eventually receives a [[Lampshade Hanging]] from Hussie's [[Author Avatar]].

** B2 Mom being a heavy drinker, even though she's not even 16. Worse that it's played for laughs, though it's implied later that she might be doing it [[Freudian Excuse|to stave off the pain of losing her mom]], which might send it into [[Deconstruction]] territory.

*** [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|Roxy has it even worse than we thought.]] You'd be drinking too if you were growing up all alone in a flooded, post-apocalyptic future ruled over by an alien tyrant out to get YOU, specifically.
