+    off the top of my head theres [[track:white|skies of skaia in white]], [[track:penumbra-phantasm|penumbra]]/[[sunsetter]] in versus, [[track:additional-mayhem-universe-a|non compos mentis in universe a additional mayhem]], [[track:english|expiration date in english]] and probably a few more im not able to remember rn 😂<br>
+    oh isnt there [[track:octoroon-rangoon|chorale for jaspers in octoroon rangoon]]
+
+    <i>Rainy:</i><br>
+    Okay you're gonna need time codes for the versus cause that's a new one

+    hmm I don't know how much that is a deliberate quote versus a Tobyism of the time<br>
+    Cause I've heard section before but Toby does a similar arrangement thing in a couple of his Homestuck songs around this period
+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    how exactly is that supposed to be sunsetter/penumbra
+
+    <i>Erase:</i><br>
+    this is sorta a shitty demo but it gets the idea across i hope
+
+    <audio src="media/misc/versus/Sunsetter (consolidated).wav"></audio>
+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    ok yeah no thats definitely not an intentional reference<br>
+    thats just how he composes
+
+    <i>Makin:</i><br>
+    I hear penumbra incredibly clearly<br>
+    though I agree it might be a coincidence<br>
+    the funniest way to put this is that penumbra is not a motif and it's a [[doctor]]/versus remix
+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    from that arp? i really dont think so theyre not even the same note pattern
+
+    <i>Rainy:</i><br>
+    I agree with Pascal on this one
+
+    <i>Jebb:</i><br>
+    Yeah nah i think that's just a generic up down arp
+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    luckily i have recreated both of them in the past (awakeningcrap version but it uses the same arp)
+
+    <audio src="media/misc/versus/arps.wav"></audio>
+
+    <i>Erase:</i><br>
+    oh im not even talking about the arps<br>
+    im meaning thsi thing
+
+    <audio src="media/misc/versus/Pattern 1 (consolidated)_10.wav"></audio>
+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    right i assumed as much but those are literally two notes in versus i really doubt that would be an intentional reference there
+
+    <i>Erase:</i><br>
+    idk maybe im wrong but they really feel too similar to be unintentional

+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    if youre really going for that as a reference id have to agree with makin and say its a doctor reference<br>
+    not uhh penumbra
+
+    <i>Erase:</i><br>
+    i dont see how this is doctor at all
+
+    <i>Rainy:</i><br>
+    My issue with it being penumbra is that it's a very small snippet of the larger phrase which isn't typical for Toby
+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    yeah
+
+    <i>Rainy:</i><br>
+    like Toby Fox in this era makes his references super duper obvious. This feels circumstantial at best imo
+
+    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i><br>
+    2 notes for me is like too little to call a reference, this feels like that [[track:battle-battle-tower|baby is you in pokemon]] thing
