Recurring themes

Throughout the adventures there are many themes, events and dialog which constantly re-occur. This is similar to the Ongoing Gags, which marks funny things that have reoccured throughout the adventures. However, recurring themes are noteable for their more serious tone, and often, importance to the plot.

In Problem Sleuth

 * It seems we can't go two seconds without some Weird puzzle shit.

In Homestuck

 * Weird Plot Shit. Who the hell even knowns what's going on anymore?


 * The numbers [413] and it's variations have cropped up throughout the homestuck universe. It is unknown if this is for a specific purpose, or simply an easter egg.


 * Chess has become an important theme to represent the battle between Light and Dark, including The Battlefield on which they fight.


 * Vertical movement: In Homestuck, milestone animations that convey large chunks of plot often result from "Descend " or (more commonly) "Ascend". Puns are also acceptable.

Multiple Adventures

 * Pumpkins have turned up in Jail Break, Problem Sleuth and Homestuck.
