The Homestuck Album (A Work in Progress)
Happy Homestuck Day! I’m writing a Homestuck fan album (currently operating under the extremely original title, "The Homestuck Album"), specifically an original concept album about the beta kids during Acts 1-5 of Homestuck. No, this is not a joke. This whole video is music I have written for the album, and this is what I have so far. It's unpolished and missing a few songs and a bunch of vocals, but dear Skaia, this is really happening. I say this for my sake, not yours. I slept two hours last night and am a complete nervous pile of terror, exhaustion, and excitement, but making this video made the album feel real in a way that nearly a year of anticipation did not.
Hey, maybe find me on Bandcamp where I'll eventually release the finished album (though I should also release here as well): playheadnorth.bandcamp.com/

    I would really love to see your thoughts on the upcoming installment in the series. Pathologic 3 is focusing on Daniil and knowing how special this character is to you I would really find that to be a super entertaining video. Considering the game isn't even out yet, I'm sure for a fuller length video you'll need more content to actually review it. Nonetheless I'm sure you're equally as excited as the rest of us!

    I only played pathologic 2, and the herb brides and the way Eva dressed irked me. Not in a way that ruined the game, but more reminded me that I'm playing a video game. There is no scantily clad male counterpart. A tutorial with an herb bride shows her completely topless, and all i could think is "ah yes, any excuse for bewbs." Because if you're writing lore for a game, you can write any justicification for boobs. There are no even any topless men in this world. I was so entranced by this world, but the herb brides reminded me it was a video game and gently took me out of the experience. It wasn't a deal breaker by any means. I really love playing pathologic 2 and am looking forward to pathologic 3. But I was always surprised no other reviewer mentioned how weird it is to see people fully dressed for cold weather and then just Eva and the Herb brides dressed for hot weather.

    As a player I've found Batchelor's ending gloomy and unsettling. The music, colors and overall tone of the ending roll felt like he was being played by Kains and their lust for power. The image of Town's ruins and Polyhedron, rising from the ground like a giant wasp nest, was utterly frightening. I feel like idealistic young people like Daniel, Eva and Stamatins are often being manipulated by powerful elites, who pretend to match their ideals but ultimately want immortality for themselves. In Changeling's arc, Stamatins even say that Polyhedron doesn't make sense without people of the town. Peter build it to be a Utopia, but it was used as a body for a one aristocrat fearful of his own death.

      I have really complicated thoughts about how the Kin and the herb brides are treated in P2. I think the game does really well in some areas and really poorly in others, but I’m not sure if I’ll make the video-partially because I’m not sure that me, a white person, is the greatest candidate to talk about all that and partially because I’m not sure if I want to deal with the bad faith comments that I’ll inevitably get after it.

I have some time free soon so I may start playing 1 just so I can get the whole picture through my own eyes. These games really need your own personal feelings through playing them to resonate I feel.
