Fraymotif Name Ideas

Just figured I should post this because I Love™ Names and Naming Things.

Basically I’ve decided to name all of the unnamed fraymotifs shown in that battle update, and the person who drew/created them likes the names I gave them so I’m super happy they are liked!!





Dave/Terezi #1 - the one that healed Dirk

“Tempo Alla Verdict”

which basically means “Timing/Pacing in the Style Of a Final decision” or, “Time stylin’ it to the flow of Mind” B)

because in that one Mind made a final decision about which Timeline to be on

and also Verdict is a law term meaning the final decision of a jury, and also Verde means Green, referencing Mind and then Tempo is obvs Time





Dave/Terezi #2 - the one with the gears

“Quick Thinker’s Syncopation”



syncopation is a general term for “a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm”



and then Quick = Tempo = Time again and Thinker = Mind

so the general meaning of that one is “clever changes to the flow or rhythm” (of battle) because in that one Mind rearranges Time into more favorable positions on a dime





John/Roxy/Rose #1 - wixard tornado

“Wixordian Maelstrombone”

from a combo of Wixard + Myxolydian and Maelstrom + Trombone

Myxolydian Maelstrom was the “original” John/Rose fraymotif so that plus Wixards and adding the word trombone to keep at least one word actually musically associated as well as more breath associated because it’s a horn that you blow in :P

and then I used word combos instead of actual words for this one because it’s a 3way fraymotif, which is special, and because it’s with a Void player, so new nonsensical Voidy combos of words made sense to me

also because it basically makes it a combo word + combo word so it an x2 combob fraymotif :P

*edit* Maelstrombob could have worked to reference a combob attack, but I liked trombone because its a blow horn instrument and because that was the plan all along. to give you a boner.





John/Rose #1 - breathy cross stitched rain

“Choral Cross-Stitch”

Choral means to sing outloud basically which is both a musically associated word and a breath one when you consider you use your throat and wind to sing and speak, and cross stitch references Rose’s knitting needles, a chorale is also a very common way to do Hymns and things of a religious nature, and this references Rose and John’s aspects of Breath and Light being the first two created by Hussie and him being inspired by christian imagery





Rose/Roxy #1 - Light vertixes creating cube of void cubes

“Canon Definition”



I love this one because its a pun in fraymotif form

Canon is actually a german musical term meaning a theme that is repeated and imitated and built upon by other instruments with a delay, creating a layered effect like an echo.

and Definition is a word that means to explain or identify the nature or essential qualities of and to determine or fix the boundaries or extent of, to make clear the outline or form of.

Light clearly defined the form or definition/outline of the object, which turn out to be a series of repeating perfectly generic objects, and then Void made it “Canon” :D

also its meta as fuck which is only fitting for a Light/Void combo





John/Rose #2 - sphere of breath moving over condesces eyes

“Mixolydian Maelstrom”

I’m almost 99% sure this one is meant to be Mixolydian Mealstrom, so I’m gonna go with that, because it is a John/Rose combo and it IS a maelstrom of wind





Rose/Roxy #2 - void and light have a sick rave

“Presto Pandaemonium”

Presto is a musical term indicating a fast tempo, and pandemonium means wild and noisy disorder or confusion; uproar.

Pandaemonium is also the name for the capital of Hell in Paradise Lost na dit roughly means “all demon place” and that just seemed fitting in with Rose’s love of horrorterrors

and the fraymotif itself is Void and Light having a sick chaotic rave so calling that a “super fast hell dimension of chaos” is a pretty sick name for a battle move lol





Dirk/Dave #1 - soul portal infinite fall

“Ironic Polyphonic” Hypnotic Funky Fresh jk lol



Polyphonic is a musical term that means consisting of many voices or sounds.

or having two or more voices or parts, each with an independent melody, but all harmonizing or playing together at the same time.

This is a great word for any Heart/Time combo since Heart has the many different versions of self/instruments and Time has the “all at once/together/all at the same time” part

but especially works here since the effect seems to pretty much layer all versions of a person over themselves using a time portal, that also happens to look like what happens when you infinite fall into Portals in the game Portal, in order to cause confusion

And then theres no way a Dave/Dirk Fraymotif wasn’t going to rhyme in some way or not include the word irony so this one worked out perfectly lol
