History Webcomic / PadakTheWebcomic

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted with Beito and Bamba. Beito wields a [[CombatHandFan fan]] and uses RazorWind with it, and Bamba wields [[FightingWithChucks nunchakus]] and hits imps with them.

* AlienFairFolk: The myrmidons are named after the Myrmidons of Greek myth; ants that were turned into warriors. This explains why they have [[InsectoidAliens insectoid anatomy]]. WordOfGod says that they evolved some way into a humanoid form. The tengus? Well, the hint is in the name. They are literally the {{Main/Tengu}}.

* FloralThemeNaming: All the myrmidons are named after some kind of plant. Beito is named after beets, Bamba is named after bamboo, Tarra is named after the tarragon herb, Quara's name is based off of Kurara, the Japanese name for the sophora shrub (which is highly toxic, which gives her a meaning to being a Venomfang), and Ascle is named after the asclepias plant.

** Beito's obsession with Puyo is an obvious reference to VideoGame/PuyoPuyo. This includes the figurines that appear around his house, the poster, and his desktop. There is also Lil' Bal, which is literally Baldanders.

** Subverted with Beito, as he never swears, and replaces every swear with the word [[GoshDangItToHeck heck]].

--> Lil' Bal gives you a sympathetic look, as he knows that he is safe, '''and that you are not.''' Lil' Bal knows the circumstances revolving around that game. It ends the world. You either play or die. Even if you play, you have a chance of dying. '''He is aware of this.'''

* GuideDangIt: See HowDoIShotWeb below.

* HowDoIShotWeb: Beito has no idea how to use the Scurb Hud when he first uses it. He gets better at using it, though.

** Along with that, Bamba really likes {{VideoGame/Splatoon}} to an extent. She's not as obsessed with it as Beito is Puyo.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent/AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Like Homestuck, this webcomic likes to introduce new characters when something is about to happen.
