'''Chronology, continuity and callbacks'''
* If everything Lightning Rod says is true, this could cause some continuity hiccups. Mainly, his portrayal of Discord was one that was far more cruel than the one we often see depicted in ''Friendship is Magic'', who once said that he never tried to hurt anypony when he did, explicitly, hurt manyponies.
* Wikiponia was a website referenced in a ''Friendship is Magic'' commercial. This is likely a coincidence and not a specific callback to that advertisement, however.
'''Cultural references'''
* Candlebright Cove's name might be an allusion to the iconic [[creepypasta]] {{W|Candle Cove|''Candle Cove''}}.
* In general, this story has several trademarks of classic nautical horror stories, such as haunted lighthouses, abandoned towns, and the fear of becoming obsolete.
* Wikiponia is a reference to Wikipedia.
* Bloody Marey is a reference to Bloody Mary, an urban legend.
* The Mirror of Mayhem, while possibly not a specific reference, is analogous to several cursed object ghost stories in the real world.
* The idea that Fet profited off of Chaos Magic ''may'' be a reference to the esoteric conspiracy theory of 'Chaos Banking', which had a minor resurgence in popularity in the early 2020s. ''However'', this theory is extremely obscure and the finer details of its crux (beings from the future cause disasters in our modern age in order to release a type of energy) doesn't line up.
