History ShoutOut / WhiteDarkLife

** Lucy Round's name is a blatant ''Series/ILoveLucy'' reference.

* Sonic, Amy, and Silver are frequently mentioned as having a resistance to toxins -- an ability that hedgehogs actually possess in real life. %%Wait, does that count as a Shout Out?%%

* Daisy is mentioned to have kicked Bowser's ass... while completely unarmed. She has, in fact, done precisely that during the Story Mode of ''VideoGame/MarioParty 3''.

* Luigifan and Mysta make explicit references to the plot of ''[[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''; it turns out that Mysta [[MotiveRant is using the events of that game]] to justify his actions. (Sunlight then considers using fairies as a weapon against Mysta, but Luigifan and Phillip shoot him down.)

** Bonus points for the spell Priscilla used — [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/476473586/3804511254 Megidolaon, a.k.a. the]] "[[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} Fuck you, time to do 10.001 times your max health to the entire party]]" spell.

* Eloria's axe is named [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Hector]].

* Mysta's main gimmick may be [[{{Lunacy}} an obsession with the moon]], but his secondary gimmick is clearly his usage of [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Spell Cards]] in general, and using the Spell Card system from Fanfic/AverageJoeInBulletHell in particular.
** Many of his spell cards are either lifted wholesale from or inspired by [[Characters/TouhouImperishableNight Reisen Udongein Inaba and Eirin Yagokoro]]. (Note that he actually does this as a gesture of ''respect'' to them; Mysta claims that Eirin was his tutor.)
* Arthur Calibur wields Soul Calibur from the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''. [[labelnote:For those among you wondering how this is possible...]]The White Dark Life roleplays (and Furry Fiasco, for that matter) are stated to take place long after the end of the VideoGame/SoulSeries. [=SoulCalibur=] has recently woken up upon sensing the return of Soul Edge, having went into a deep slumber to spare the world from its KnightTemplar tendencies after finally destroying its EvilCounterpart. As for Soul Edge, having been destroyed a long time ago, it has reincarnated in the form of Fläsräpper, a demonic axe that has very similar abilities to its former self. Thankfully, Fläsräpper's wielder is firmly on the side of good, and due to Fläsräpper having been transformed into Soul Edge's reincarnation by being drenched in her blood, it's symbiotically bound to her and tied to her will, suppressing its evil nature.[[/labelnote]]

** Luigifan's Reshiram and Zekrom are nicknamed [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Forblaze and Aureola]], respectively.

* Luigifan proclaiming "[[WebComic/ExterminatusNow I have a cunning plan!]]" when he's come up with an, erm, ''creative'' solution to the current dilemma. Much like in ''WebComic/ExterminatusNow'', the other characters (especially Dream) tend to be rather terrified whenever he says it.
* During [[ThisIsGonnaSuck bleak situations]], it's not uncommon for someone to say, "[[FanFic/PaperMarioX We]] ''[[FanFic/PaperMarioX might]]'' [[FanFic/PaperMarioX actually be screwed.]]"

* The entire discussion of [[{{Robosexual}} robot sex]] alludes to WebComic/TwoEvilScientists. And then the conversation quickly segues into a discussion of [[http://lol20.deviantart.com/gallery/29754423/Fangtrex-saga the work of another DeviantART user]] (username [[http://lol20.deviantart.com lol20]]).

* [[VideoGame/PhantomBrave Marona]]: "[[Disney/{{Frozen}} Oh.]] I seem to have been impaled."

* Winter intermittently sings [[Disney/{{Frozen}} "Let it Go"]] while being rescued.

** [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/416122897/3410044191 The same scene]] also makes shout-outs to ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'', and ''Film/BladesOfGlory''.

-->'''Justin:''' [[Disney/{{Frozen}} I'm gonna tell her...]]
-->'''Lydia:''' [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Don't you dare!]]

-->'''Justin:''' [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Someone's gotta tell her...]]

* During the addendum [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/357752634/3422618457 detailing the disintegration of Leila and Nikolai's relationship,]] Leila explicitly compares Nikolai to [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Hans]], as well as stating that the experience "may just ruin me for ever trusting a Slav again".

* "[[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/391554427/3484890546 Dad told me that if you don't have anything nice to say,]] [[Disney/{{Bambi}} don't say anything at all.]]"

* When Mysta exclaims that he has to kill Torch and Sunlight to make his dream come true, [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/391554427/3810159374 Matthew bluntly tells him,]] "[[Disney/{{Tangled}} Your dream sucks.]]"

* Leila [[CallBack continues]] comparing Nikolai to [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Hans]].

--> '''BILL:''' "[[Disney/BigHero6 Diagnosis... Puberty]]".

* While Bowser Jr. is trying [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/577188445/4117257648 to decide how he's going to kill Leila,]] he refers to the choice as "[[Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective a delightful dilemma]]".

* [[spoiler:Leila compares Nikolai to [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Prince Hans]] ''[[RunningGag yet again]]''.]]
* [[spoiler:[[ShipperOnDeck Luigifan]] sings brief snippets of [[Disney/{{Frozen}} "Fixer Upper"]] while Leila and Nikolai argue (and Dream, Damien, and Artemis are trying to get them to reconcile). However, he fails to change the lyrics of the song to fit the new context, and HilarityEnsues.]]

--> '''Leila:''' [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Why isn't she knocking? Do you think Manah's forgotten how to knock?]]

* [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/416122897/3424562734 When the whole Heroes' League vows to step in to protect Sonja from Elan]], Luigifan lampshades it by asking if the group can cut the endless [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings "you have my sword" lines]] before they go on any longer than necessary.

* When Cassandra mimics [[VideoGame/MegaManX7 Flame Hyenard]], she ends up devolving into Flame Hyenard's insanity, shouting "'''[[MostAnnoyingSound BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!]]'''" ad nauseum.

** Kazu makes an obscure song reference, one to Music/{{Rush}}; quoting their song The Twilight Zone, mentioning the key part (for those who don't know the lyrics; Use the key / unlock the door / see what your fate might have in store). [[note]] Kazu was at one point slated to do the entire thing at one point, were it not for how weird the song is (it in itself a reference to the the TV series Series/TheTwilightZone). [[/note]]

* Rebecca's hair is based off of [[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa Junko Enoshima's]] MegaTwintails. Her icon on social sites is one of [[spoiler:fake!]]Junko's character portraits.

** Arthur and Collin explain their "interactions" with him, with Collin's story focusing on the sequel. While on the subject, he also mentions that he'd rather be in [[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa "some kind of killing game with a deranged bear robot"]] than deal with Flumpty a second time.

* The locations mentioned in the roleplay are all real places in Ireland. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really.]] The roleplay is based on a vacation Author!Luigifan took in Ireland, so all the locations are areas he visited, and he has the photos to prove it on his Website/DeviantART account.

* Author!Luigifan's NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer regarding the myth of Jarilo and Marzanna [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/448383141/3451486450 is more or less lifted from]] the (in)famous ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Trapped in the Closet".

Being a work with dual components -- a webcomic and a roleplay -- and its main character having [[PowerCopying the power of mimicry]] [[AllYourPowersCombined as his main ability]], it's no surprise that White Dark Life has a lot of {{Shout Out}}s.

** It also just so happens to be Bulzeeb's title in Bomberman 64: The Second Attack.

* While searching through his PC and finding that it's taking ''way'' longer than it should, Luigifan blurts out "'''''[[LetsPlay/ProtonJon MOVE FASTER POKEY!!!!!]]'''''"

* When [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297129326/3232121675 Donald summons]] [[Franchise/TheHouseOfTheDead The World]] to [[KillItWithIce freeze Lucy to death]], it introduces itself with [[BadassBoast its intro quote]] from its home game.

* [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297127370/2691876352 After kidnapping Tulip]], Wrapsodi dares the Heroes' League to get her back, stating "Come and get me if you want her back! Or else she will '''die!'''" -- a dual reference to Eggman taunting Sonic over the Crazy Gadget intercom in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' and [[Memes/TheLegendOfZelda Ganon's infamous rebuke]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDIGames of Zelda bringing light to his lair]]. Then, after interrupting Felicia by biting her, Wrapsodi asks "What was that you just said? [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising I don't think I heard it over the sound of]] my venom '''killing you'''-" and is then interrupted herself by a lightning bolt from Margaret.

* Carnation notes that [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297127370/2780816450 she has a very similar fighting style]] to [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Death]] -- [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297127370/2749113511 lots of distracting projectiles]] that, while painful, are ''nothing'' compared to the damage she can inflict with her melee moves.

* Luigifan references VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} after being muted by Dark Matt.

* Valvatorez admits that he has a strange desire to yell "AXXEEEELL!!" while busy with Fenrich. In his [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten home game]], he would scream Axel's name whenever Axel got "killed". Which just happened.

* In this roleplay, Andross attacks Flora and Sonja with mutant tarantula-hawk wasps and abducts them, intending to have them {{eaten|alive}} [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong alive]]. Andross, being [[EvilutionaryBiologist Andross]], is implied to have genetically engineered the wasps to attack foxes[[note]]he pretty much lost whatever sanity he had upon being defeated by Fox during the events of ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' and became genocidally insane[[/note]], but the wasps are also much, much bigger than they should be -- big enough to actually pose a threat to a human-sized fox. How did they ''get'' that big, you may ask? Well, [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/372119113/3183060639 Andross got some help from Dr. Eggman]], who was all too happy to test out his [[CallForward newly-developed]] [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld Extractor machine]].

* Mysto [[BerserkButton takes offense]] to [[GodwinsLaw being compared to]] UserNotes/AdolfHitler, because ThoseWackyNazis were downright ''brutal'' to the Slavic people; indeed, they had planned to [[FinalSolution deal with them]] as soon as they were done with the Jews.

-->'''Janine:''' ''[[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/434098632/4161847455 Look what you did, you little]] '''jerk!'''''

* When [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/441643292/3439116062 Collin begins using his intangibility powers to dodge Snake-Jaw's attacks]] -- [[NoSell even the ones that he shouldn't see coming]] -- Snake-Jaw [[VillainousBreakdown flips out]] and screams "'''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED!!!]]'''"

* Tori summons Ryukotsuki, final boss of Getsu Fuma Den. And later Spinal from VideoGame/KillerInstinct.

** Bonus points for the spell Priscilla used -- [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/476473586/3804511254 Megidolaon, a.k.a. the]] "[[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} Fuck you, time to do 10.001 times your max health to the entire party]]" spell.

* The many bad endings of ''VdeoGame/MogekoCastle'' are referenced over the course of the roleplay.

--> '''Dream:''' [[Film/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer He thinks I'm cute... He thinks I'm]] ''[[Film/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer cuuuuuttttttteeeeeee!!!!!!]]''

* Myla has learned over time that [[WebAnimation/JoJosBizarreAdventureAbridged the only way to defeat a curse is to burn it]].

* Damien, upon finding a picture of Dream's buttocks in a book from the Mogeko Library, claims that a painting of her butt would be more artistic. Perhaps he should commission [[Webcomics/BrawlInTheFamily Waluigi]].

* Cassandra mimics [[spoiler:Sans]] to help wipe out Flumpty, [[spoiler:using the same attacks Sans does in the boss fight with him in the Genocide route. She even uses the same "birds are singing, sun is shining" speech (despite it not really being appropriate in the wake of the mess Vaati just made, which she lampshades herself) and tells Flumpty that he's going to have a bad time.]]

* When asked how a seedrian can even go on a diet, Ivy's response includes [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising "Hard work and Determination"]].

* This roleplay marks the first appearance of Luigifan's aforementioned singing. In order, he sings [[Music/{{Seal}} "Kiss from a Rose"]], [[Music/AlyAndAJ "Rush"]], [[Music/{{Styx}} "Renegade"]], [[Music/DavidBowie "Let's Dance"]], [[Music/{{Nightwish}} "Amaranth"]], and [[Music/{{Hoobastank}} "Without a Fight"]].

* After being viciously attacked by Artemis, Bowser complains that now he's got back problems all over again, referring to the reason why he wasn't able to curl up in his shell right from the start of ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory''.
* Blackveil, Bowser's Darkrai, declares "Let the haunt be the haunted" while infiltrating Skyzapper. This is a reference to [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VVPFi1ikbeQ Saliva's take on the Spy Hunter theme]], which became Bowser Jr.'s BootstrappedLeitmotif during this roleplay.

* [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297128947/2668594020 Princess Peach bonks Cackletta in the head with a turnip.]] When Todd mentions that Cassandra would find this hilarious if she was conscious to witness it, Cackletta's response is "[[Film/TheDarkKnight The answer's simple... We]] ''[[Memes/{{Batman}} kill the diplomat]]''."
* "[[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297128947/2696253259 Whose idea was it to bring]] the only thing to rival [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]] in [[HilarityEnsues sheer magical insanity?]]"

** In the Astarte Branch's [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/586779249/4227732466 Damien Route]], after Lysander [[DoNotTauntCthulhu pisses Damien off]] enough to get him to bust loose from his trap by [[ToThePain graphically threatening]] to [[BoundAndGagged bind]], [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty rape]], [[StuffedIntoTheFridge and murder Dream]] (while Damien will be ForcedToWatch), Dream tells Lysander, "[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} You really are an idiot]]" right before [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys Damien pounces on him]] and [[UnstoppableRage begins]] [[CurbStompBattle beating the everloving]] ''[[ExtremeMeleeRevenge hell]]'' [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown out of him]]. [[note]]Lysander makes the threats in both routes, but it only pays off in this fashion in the Damien Route. In the other... well...[[/note]]

* Rebecca's hair is based off of [[VideoGame/DanganRonpa Junko's]] giant TwinTails. Her icon on social sites is one of [[spoiler:fake!]]Junko's character portraits.

* After a CallBack to the roleplays' predecessor, Furry Fiasco, [[WallOfText goes on for way too long]], [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/297127370/2814038057 Boar drops a reference]] to ThisVeryWiki:

* [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/306675069/2900953401 When Tora asks what an ogre is]], [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/306675069/2917305909 Luigifan begins to explain]], "[[Film/{{Shrek}} See, ogres are like onions...]]" (He's shut up before he can get to the spiel about layers by Tora and Entegra staring at him with a look of sheer incomprehension.)

** [[spoiler:Artemis later points out that she doesn't follow normal rules and comments [[WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats "I don't understand how you keep forgetting that"]].]]

** Most of the Dawns are named after Franchise/FireEmblem characters. (The main exceptions are Lindsay (who was named after one of Tropers/{{Luigifan}}'s childhood friends), roughly half of Linus's children (who are named after Luigifan's cousins), Carnation (who follows the Natchrallis' floral ThemeNaming), and Harry (who was named after Franchise/HarryPotter).)

* Cassandra mimics [[spoiler:Sans]] to help wipe out Flumpty, [[spoiler:using the same attacks Sans does in the boss fight with him in the Genocide route. She even uses the same "birds are singing, sun is shining" speech and tells Flumpty that he's going to have a bad time.]]

** Ne chimes in with [[Webcomic/HiImDaisy "Chill I'm not actually dead]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2 (he's immortal!)]]".

--> [[spoiler:'''Luigifan:''' His peculiar brain, dear, [[BestialityIsDepraved his thing with-]] [[{{Metaphorgotten}} wait]], [[FlatWhat what-]]]]

** In the Astarte Branch's Damien Route, after Lysander [[DoNotTauntCthulhu pisses Damien off]] enough to get him to bust loose from his trap by [[ToThePain graphically threatening]] to [[BoundAndGagged bind]], [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty rape]], [[StuffedIntoTheFridge and murder Dream]] (while Damien will be ForcedToWatch), Dream tells Lysander, "[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} You really are an idiot]]" right before [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys Damien pounces on him]] and [[UnstoppableRage begins]] [[CurbStompBattle beating the everloving]] ''[[ExtremeMeleeRevenge hell]]'' [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown out of him]]. [[note]]Lysander makes the threats in both routes, but it only pays off in this fashion in the Damien Route. In the other... well...[[/note]]
** In the Astarte Branch's Artemis Route, Artemis announces her arrival at Lysander's lair by tampering with the power, causing the lights to go off. Author!Luigifan notes that all we need is [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys the Toreador March]] to complete the picture of how utterly ''screwed'' Lysander is. Once Artemis actually attacks, [[NothingIsScarier the scene cuts out]] [[OminousVisualGlitch in classic]] [[ScreamDiscretionShot horror game]] [[GoryDiscretionShot fashion]]. Dark Matt then proceeds to pull a variant of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Flowey's]] [[SignatureMove signature]] [[AlwaysAccurateAttack ring of bullets]] on Natascha, only being stopped by Artemis requesting that she be on the scene when Natascha is finished off.

* When [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/441643292/3439116062 Collin begins using his intangibility powers to dodge Snake-Jaw's attacks]] -- [[NoSell even the ones that he shouldn't see coming]] -- Snake-Jaw [[VillainousBreakdown flips out]] and screams "'''[[FateStayNight PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED!!!]]'''"

** Right as he begins chasing Wrapsodi, Sonic declares "Here we ''go''!", just like he does at the start of a daytime level in ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed''. [[note]]Yes, it's meant to be read with the same inflection and voice that JasonGriffith uses for that line in-game.[[/note]]

* Matt mimics a Twinbee and makes similar robotic noises.

* [[spoiler:While trying to get Leila and Nikolai together, Artemis gets frustrated enough to blurt out "YOU WILL MARRY THE IMBECILIC ONE, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-O0kaY13To&t=6m59s CHILD OF FLESH.]]"]]

* Matt claims that there was a ONE BILLIONTH PERCENT CHANCE that Moge-ko could have given him a heart attack, and therefore, [[Manga/{{Durarara}} whatever he does next is justified self defense]].
