something I always thought was true but realized other people dont

the Fraymotifs in Homestuck arent the little circle thingies toasty made, nor are they the attacks themselves happening

they are named for and rhyme with Leitmotifs

Leitmotif means a short, constantly recurring musical phrase associated with a particular person, place, or idea. 

Fray means battle or skirmish

meaning “the Fraymotifs” are in the fact the Battle Music that plays during the special combo attacks, being Fray Leitmotifs, Battle Music

thats also why they are all named after musical terms, because they actually are those musical things
