7 | ''Purple Spades'' is a webcomic created by [[https://www.instagram.com/dandaminifig [=DanDaMiniFig=]]] about [[WriteWhoYouKnow the author]] and his SliceOfLife adventures battling anxiety, identity, and (more times than not) [[HelpfulHallucination himself]]. |

9 | ---- |
10 | !! ''Purple Spades'' contains examples of: |
11 | |
12 | * BeatPanel: Sometimes used to convey sorrow or disappointment towards Dan. |
13 | * {{Bittersweet 17}}: The first two issues focus on Dan turning 17 and the unreadiness it brings him. |
14 | * BrutalHonesty: Dan's dating advice and his anxiety jar. |
15 | --->'''Chia:''' Why is the jar already full? \ |
16 | '''Dan:''' ''(in tears)'' No reason. |
17 | * CheckAndMate: Dan's speech to Chia about how his way of teaching Dan how to move on wasn't a healthy way. |
18 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Each character has a specific color hex assigned to them. Dan's hex code is #4c0191, Chia's is #03900d, and so on. |
19 | ** As of "Crisis Button," all characters have been given darker tones. |
20 | * GrandTheftMe: Chia forces Dan to become ''his'' superconscience in "The Switcharoo". |
21 | * IHatePastMe: The dynamic between Dan and Chia. |
22 | * InfoDump: Chia explains to Dan how superconsciences function in "The Switcharoo, Part Two: Who's In Control?" |
23 | * MultiPartEpisode: "The Switcharoo" contained five parts that were published on a daily basis. |
24 | * NoNameGiven: No name was given to Chia until "Nickname" [[EmbarrassingNickname where he shows great discomfort in it]]. |
25 | * SelfInsertFic: Both main characters are representations of the author, Dan being the present and Chia being the past. |
26 | * ShoutOut: |
27 | ** Chia shows Dan his [[SelfInsertFic self-insert]] ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' character from 2012. |
28 | ** The song "Two Trucks" was used as a means of getting Dan and Marxie's friends to get familiar with ''Music/LemonDemon'' in the issue of the same name. |
29 | ** Mordecai from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' is shown to be an example of what a ''simp'' is. |
30 | ** "Slob of the Dead" is a play on the ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'' zombies map "Mob of the Dead". The premise of the issue jokes about Dan's addiction to the game. |
31 | ** "The Switcharoo": |
32 | *** "We Can, Too!" (along with the name of the special itself) directly references a line from Lollipop in the season 4 episode of ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland:'' "X Marks The Spot". |
33 | *** "Who's In Control?" takes its name from a line in the ''{{Music/Halsey}}'' song "Control". |
34 | *** "Lionhearted" got its title from the ''Music/PorterRobinson'' song of the same name. |
35 | *** Dan references the events of the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Sock Opera", to which Chia finds offensive. |
36 | *** A Stitch [[VideoGame/DisneyTsumTsum Tsum Tsum]] can be seen on Dan's dresser. |
37 | *** "True Colors" shares its name with the ''{{Music/Zedd}}'' song. |
38 | ** Several references to modern video gaming consoles in the "Split Screen" special. |
39 | * TheConscience: Chia is Dan's ''superconscience'', which is explained by Chia as "the physical embodiment of (his) subconscious thoughts and mind" only the host can see, similar to a HelpfulHallucination. |
40 | * TraumaticHaircut: Dan in "Bad Hair Day". |
