- It's finally done!!! Happy early 413, everybody!
I've never finished such a long term project before but oh man have I been excited to get it done. Such a payoff. (also maybe now I can actually focus on school work again haha............nah.)
I'm going to be putting up several high definition frames on my page, including a bunch of wallpapers. If you want any of these shots in particular, feel free to look through the #Counting Starsigns tag on my blog and if what you want isn't there, shoot me an ask and I'll do what I can!

![Warriors Lyricstuck [Homestuck]](/img/n.gif)
My favourite thing about this animation is how much attention was given to Jade and Jake. They are always overshadowed by other kids and imo it's quite unfair.
I think that's the point. Jade is space they tend to be distant in some way until they overcome it. And we'll Jake is literally hope and not just that but a page of hope which meant he is meant to be overshadowed until he figures himself out
Because they're shitty characters
Really? Since cascade I always had Jade ranked high in terms of prowess
@@oacmd282 in terms of prowess jade is almost unmatched. Do you remember when she first meets calliope?
all of the trolls start to appear dramatically and Gamzee's just like "paint me like one of your French girls"
I just wanted to let you know that can no longer watch that part without imagining him saying that. Thanks for ruining/ improving one of my favorite AMV.
@@kindoflame Okay, so I don't want to be that person, but....I*
Ok that seen was my 3rd grade school pic
@@meechiejamerson While angrily shaking his fist at the air, he yelled from the depth of his being "Graaaaaaammer!"
;-;
"Everything that kills me makes me feel alive." Woah.
***** The darn lyric that started it all. Heard it in the car on the way home from university and proceeded to plan the whole thing out in my head over the next hour.
Amanda D I am really happy that you made this lyricstuck.
This makes me think of Jake and peanuts.
69 x 10 l1k32. N1c3.
Quarantine: Boring, overused
Homestuck: Better, not overused
Why are you right
Woah a comment that isnt years old
damn, a fresh comment? never thought i'd see the day
@@daveslamjam well now you did
Ho shit a comment that isnt a fossil
Did anybody else notice the genius that was 0:51 ? The Captchalogue card appears behind John's back as it turns into the jetpack in the next shot. That's honestly really clever.
Actually you're the first person to point that out! :D
Well, I thought it was pretty cool to see that sort of interpretation of the captchalogue system. Good on ya mate.
+Amanda D I n a whole year no one figured it out
Or the continued genius at 3:22 where John is STILL breaking through chronology and continuity by looking back/sideways at his dead and dying friends from another timeline entirely?
I say it
person: how did you die?
dirk: i accidently was decapitated.
person: how did you die?
jane: i was stabbed in the stomache
person: how did you die?
roxy:i was stabbed in the chest
person:how did you die?
jake: peanuts.
person: wha-
jake:peanut allergies.
person:...
Poor Jake....
Jake's legs make me want to cry the windey thing..... 😂
omg xD
jakes ghost:booooo
me: GO AWAY JAKE IM WATCHING SOMTHING GOOD ITS A SING OK GO AWAY wait im just talking to myself B^(
Okay, but... technically, it wasn't even his allergies that killed him... CD shoved so many damn peanuts in his mouth, I'm pretty sure Jake choked on them before his allergies could even play up.
Whenever the kids appear as god tier and cycle around, I always think of a character selection screen.
MiaJoy Daorerk Jade and Jake are the two bonus characters you have to unlock to play.
And the Ancestors are the bonus characters for the trolls
They're totally a DLC for bonus history content.
Definetly. Maybe the Dancestors acted as a mental guide for the trolls, helping them when they sleep (which would be the trolls version of checkpoints).
MiaJoy Daorerk and maybe in gameplay, you have to switch between the trolls and kids to get through certain areas of the game. Or the trolls have little mini games specialised to each one that you have to complete to get a certain item or unlock a new area.
3:21 how am I just now noticing that while everyone is confined to their panels Jon’s hands is grasping the edge of his and rose, like he’s going through a door, because of his retcon powers.
Well played sir. Well played
3:40 Gamzee posing like one of your french girls.
One can twist the atmosphere to his will.
One can bring the dead back to life.
One knows all and sees all.
One can conjure anything from nothing.
One can travel through time and alter its course.
One can rip the soul from your body.
One can bend all of space to her will.
One can bring the imaginary to life, just by believing.
one can also travel throughout all time and all space from all paralels universes
That was eight ones you fool
You forgot Dave. And you put John Twice!
Ansei Evergreen Dave is the one who can travel through time and alter it. And John is just the first one. I mean makes sense tho
@@nikkibedrawing3830 that was the joke XD
i love how the word homestuck appears at 4:13
Audamix I just noticed
I KNOW MAN!
eyyy! thats awesome! XD
Oh shit u rite
hey audamix how you hold 5 cworter
Gamzee in the silhouette group shot though
Sydney David Paint me like one of your mimes.
fucking starting with a dave death so i audibly gasp
He was also the only kid that didn't smile in the ending shot with the comparisons with the Alpha Kids.
Starrypelt Productions aw man
:'(
I like how at exactly 4:13 the homestuck logo comes up
Nire you. are. a. genius.
I noticed it too
+Nire hmm I did not notice that that actually really clever
+Nire OW MY FEELS
+Nire
Really? Well I Like How Your Comment Has Exactly 69 Likes.
3:42
rose and kanaya are holding hands aw
TindraSan i just noticed that, nice eye
Neophyte Regglare TindraSan grimdarkRenegade [GR] I hate to burst the adorable bubble, but I looked at it closely in MSPaint, and they're actually not, you can tell because you can't see Kanaya's hand wrapping around Rose's like you can see with the Betas holding hands, and if you zoom in, you can see that Kanaya's hand is actually level with Rose's wrist, not her hand. So, no, they're not holding hands, it just looks like it because they're standing side by side. *runs away quickly before the angry homestucks attack*
lol ok im not mad it's kinda cool to see or hear that
Sillamara Sorry but Artist says so. They're meant to be holding hands it's just they were individual puppets that had to pop in behind the Betas, so it couldn't wrap around all the way.
Amanda D Ok, fair enough, if the artist says so, than that's how it is, I was simply saying what I had observed. No offense was meant by my statement, I simply thought it was interesting.
BUT WHERE IS THE MAYOR
TRUE
Do you mean the Mayo?
The mayo *r*
Shreya G. where is Lil cal? >:V
We need a Mayor tribute. Mayor is clearly the best character.
All hail CanTown.
so i read all of homestuck and like, completely slam dunked myself into the fandom and it's completely taken over my life now, all i do is live and breathe homestuck, and i just gotta say, oh my god this video is just so incredibly beautiful and well done, and plus i fucking love "counting stars" so thats just bonus points right there
seriously i love this video so much omg
i knoww, it is so good, also legit same
are you still into homestuck as of 2020? i highly doubt it but i'm too interested now
@@liightyears god no i jumped ship around november 2018 and believe me when i say that every response i get to years old comments on homestuck videos brings me so much agony its unbelievable
DanniLivesForever lmao why
I did the exact same thing. Expect I'm soooo late but I don't care at all 😂
At 2:00 I just realized that the thing in the background was not a cloud
aww shit it's a dragon
SHIT YOUR RIGHT
omg it isnt
I'm blind ;- ;
I didn't even see it there
Gamzee on the floor, killed me XD

it was so funny, I posted it in my wattpad story
......I don’t know what to say. The only words to describe this is WHAT FUCKING TIMELINE DID YOU COME FROM TO BLESS US WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKING BEAUTIFUL ART!!
THIS WAS SO AMAZING IT MADE ME FORGET HS² EXISTED
amen to that
amen
I thought i'd get over homestuck but here I am years later making a costume specifically about homestuck
What's the costume? :3
OverThe Moon rouge of time

this doesn't have NEARLY as many views as it deserves
+Meli Song if this guy uploaded it in 2011-2012 this would get 1.5m views.
whos here at 1m views
Did anyone else notice that all the beta kids (John, Jade, Dave, Rose.) are wearing shoes similar to their friends? Like, John is wearing yellow shoes (Rose), Jade's using red shoes (Dave), Rose's using blue shoes (John), and Dave's using grey/black shoes (Jade). Idk, just an interesting theory of mine. Did any of you see it?
Yeah I did,it also matches with other aspects if you look at the other god tier clothes
Oh my god
it's because the shoes on the god tier designs for the beta kids were made to match the god tier colors of the person they were paired with on karkat's shipping chart in the pesterlog on page 2790 (idk if i can link directly), so john has rose's and dave has jade's and vice-versa
@@sleepysystem Oh. My. God.
I WANT TO TATTOO THIS ONTO MY SOUL
One of my favorite songs... one of my favorite fandoms... perfectly blended with simply stunning animation and stellar choreography... released a few days before said fandom comes alive again. Thank you for making me fall in love with Homestuck all over again.
You managed to match up each lyric, each phrase, with a perfect moment in Homestuck, then finished off with a series of parallels that were utterly jawdropping in their speed, precision, and imagination. Utterly epic.
Fantastic work, Amanda D. Now, pardon me as I go off to watch this video another five or six times.
Camden Jenkins Thank you so very much, Camden!
Indeed.
Did anyone notice when the close-up of all the characters came up in the end, Gamzee had tiny little fins on his head, just below the ears...
Well in the horoscope Capricorn is half land and sea
[]__[]
Huh i just realized after about the millionth time watching this, that equius's broken horn is on the wrong side in one of the last images where it shows all the characters silhouettes. Still though ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!
+KINGOFTHECREED ??!?! >:O how did I do that oh my goodness
+Amanda D It's okay, he must have just flipped his sprite turn-ways.
Doctor: You have 4 minutes and 25 seconds to live

This has made my Homestuck hype go way up. I can't wait for an epilogue I can't wait for Hiveswap I just can't wait.
how was the epilogue for ya
Now we have homestuck^2 and hiveswap act 2
can we just sit down and talk about Jake's thighs
Her Imperious Condescension yes. yes we can
yes
they are fab
of course.
WHY DONT WE TALK ABOUT MY GRANDFATHERS THIGHS FOR ABOUT FOUR HOURS AND APPROXIMATELY THIRTEEN MORE MINUTES AFTER THAT??
thats a wonderful idea
i killed them
the end
Hey, thick thighs save lives.
I just realized something.
Jake is running as the music says "I feel her love"
Normal, right?
Well just as BroBot (a robot version of Dirk- aka Jake's ex boyfriend) shows up, the line "And I feel it burn"
Excuse me. I may not have a soul, but feels hit something.
Le Fan honhonhonhon >:{D
Amanda D Also, your art is great by the way.
I'm just getting into Homestuck now, and I'm so glad I have a decade and a half of fandom stuff to enjoy anew! I love the love given to the humans, a lot of animatics focus on the trolls lots but. I gotta say the humans are my favorite. The expanding group shtot at the end is one of my favorite sorts of shot composition, I LOVE it!!! Great shot composition in general, loved all of this! Excellent work my friend. Hope you kept it up these past 8 years
2:59
*G A D Z O O K S*
*B O B S Y O U R U N C L E*
8 years later I still love this animation. So amazing
This is amazing and so are you and so is this fucked up fandom and so is everyone and you are incredily talented.
I remember that!!! When Rose held the w to her face and pretended it was a mustache. That cracked me up so much!!!
Re-watching this because of the update news.Like a walk down the fandom's memory lane.
XD I love how it slowly shows all the characters and trolls in the backround, and all you see is Gamzee on the floor XD typical ol' gamzee
This could easily be the best homestuck fan-made video I've ever seen. Keep up the great work!!!! :D
Have you seen After Us by Emptyfeet? Its pretty epic as well!
Yeah, its pretty cool too. I like this one more though, just cuz the music goes so well with it.
DUDE.
THIS.
FUCKING THIS.
I KNOW THIS IS 2015 AND WILL NEVER SEE THIS COMMENT.
BUT YOU. ARE WHY. HOMESTUCK. IS WHAT IT IS.
SOMEONE POURING TIME AND EFFORT INTO A PROJECT THEY WANT TO MAKE INSPIRED BY A THING THEY LOVE.
YOU ARE WHAT MAKES THIS FANDOM THRIVE.
CUDOS TO YOU!
3:40 I can never watch this scene without yelling "MAH BOY!" when Gamzee appears. Seriously it's like a reflex please help XD
guess what, I did it again
+Stage play lol i do that with jade
MAH GIRL
clever mistakes
heh :)
2:03 always gets me. talk about mood whiplash.
+Heather Kurle Everybody's dead, dave. Everybody's dead.
+Amanda D ...Do I smell a Red Dwarf reference?
+Heather Kurle Just replace "Take that money watch it burn" with "Take that money- watch me cry"
+MrMortull
Everyone's Dead, Dave.
What, Everybody?
Yes Dave. Everybody is dead.
Not Rose...
Yes Dave. Literally everybody is dead.
What about the trolls?
Everyone.
Surely not Harley?
Listen Dave... EVERYBODY... IS... DEAD.
So yeah. This is what the reference.
For some reason I am trying to imagine a HS/Red Dwarf crossover right now, and I can't. There is literally nobody to fill the 'Rimmer' slot...
lol Counting Stars is 4:13 long?
loominarty confirmed
fokin great vid btw
+Dat Weird 69er holy shit dude, you're a genius!! how did you know that?
dave strider Why?
Lol
Its been 4 years, we're still here.
homestuck 2 is lit bro
Happy 413 everyone!
Wow, this is a great video to welcome Homestuck back with! There's so much love put into the art, color, and composition, and that final sequence putting all the characters' silhouettes together is pinning me right in my feel-machine.
Fantastic work!!
I've been watching this on repeat the last couple of days, from the nostalgic classic background song, to the perfect syncing and transitions, everything about this is so mesmerizing. I feel like I legally owe you money every time I watch this beautiful thing.
Favorite panels has to be Roxy and Dirk, showing off how their lonely traumas brought them to be. "old, but I'm not that old, young, but I'm not that bold". Every fuckin' time I see that bit it gives me chills.
The years are coming and they don't stop coming, and yet I still keep returning to this video. One of the best homestuck fanimations, ever.
Hooooly shit. This is unbelievably good. It's easily the best Homestuck fan video I've seen -- and that's a tall order. Better than Mambostuck, After Us, Rex Duodecim Angelus... Insane work, dude. You rock.
NinetyNineNo What about After us? Haha. I agree that it is one of the most amazing Homestuck videos I've seen though.
Emily HeyaHowAreYou After Us has fuckin incredible animation, but the music is so generic it holds it back a ton. Whenever I watch it I mute the sound because it just doesn't do the animation justice.
Here though, everything lines up perfectly. While less animated, the art looks incredible, the animation tells a story, and it is relevant to the lyrics.
CyberDork34 I mean, they're completely different storytelling styles. While I really do appreciate the fact that you guys view this as a similar quality, I am nonetheless a huge fan of After Us and she put in a year's worth of hard work whereas mine was done in a month. No need to assign stuff to a strict hierarchy of coolness! c:
Amanda D i put yours with "can't fight he homestuck" because both videos are set to a song and a huge recap but can't fight the homestuck is a parody also which fits the pictures but i love your animation
NinetyNineNo Yeah, I think you might be getting a liiiiiittle ahead of yourself. While this video is good, no doubt, Mambostuck is an iconic piece of Homestuck fanmade art, After Us features some of the smoothest animation and nicest story telling,and RDA is a masterpiece contributed to by like 30 different artists that makes a reality a scene we never even see, causing it to be the headcannon for all who watch it. This is good, but it takes a lot to be better than some of the other works for this fandom.
Note how at 3:22, John's hand is on the scene divider - he's using his relic powers.
the Makaras at 4:07 look so good , especialy gamzee , you can even see the paint smeared , so cool
I'm crying. The nostalgia. My god I miss this.
0:53 "I just doing what was told" song lirycs fit really good i think
I always come back to this in order to try and remember the times when I first read the comics, so fuckin good...
The animations over "Everything that kills me makes me feel alive"/"Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly" give me goosebumps every single time I watch this video.
Dang, this still holds up 9 years later. Happy 413!
i don't care if I'm late, i love this.
Friend linked me to this, was fully expecting to be unimpressed.
I was delightfully wrong.
One of the best videos I've seen in a while out of this fandom.
I'd put it up there with [S] Rex Duodecim Angelus
MakutaYnot Now THAT is a serious compliment wow :O thank you!
IVE BEEN IN THIS FANDOM FOR THREE YEARS AND IM ONLY JUST NOW SEEING THIS MASTERPIECE?
hhhh got this recommended to me after 3 years, makes me feel young again.
Same
I just noticed the the Makaras had little fins when they flashed by :00
nice touch!
It’s 2022 and this STILL slaps
Whoa I've been pretty dormant about Homestuck for awhile but this got me so pumped, the editing was super fucking clever, A++++
You said it was a long-term project I'm curious on how long you worked on this :0 must've seemed like forever I'm assuming, but the finished product (and the learning process) makes it worth it in the end :3c!
ForsakenSpirits FS It was about a month of working! Could have probably gotten it done sooner but I did have school stuff to take care of. If I'd been working straight through it probably would have gotten done in a little over two weeks.
3:20 when you accidentally no-clip into a split-screen trope and can't even stay in your own damn panel.
This is making me so sappy since I just joined the fandom a year ago and just seeing this makes me regret not joining years ago
I would legit have any frame of this animation as a wallpaper for my computer. It's So Good.
Thank you! I no longer have the original video file thanks to a computer crash ages ago so I can't pull any new frames, but I did actually post quite a few stills on my art tumblr for that very purpose when I first put this out if you're interested.
allegro-designs.tumblr.com/tagged/counting+starsigns
After all these years...this is still my goto vid on UA-cam to make me feel alright. Still squeezes my heart, yo.
this whole thing is mind blowingly good, but my favorite little detail is the vestigial fins on the purplebloods
HOLY SHIT, that was incredible!!! This may actually be my absolute favourite Homestuck animation, and that includes Mambostuck and Lullaby for the Gods. Kudos dude
thank you this became a motovator in my run for US Senate. A favorite song anyway and the artesry you blew me away. Forgive me when I had an impromtu 420 moment, I had already watched sooo the second time I had that moment ...made sure I didnt miss anything the first time.
when I saw young Dave and future Dave, this Marine got a little misty. I was connected by the music, captivated by the visual. Your art made an emotional connection, that has acceptance from the gallery and beyond, it will always be remembered by all who see and hear. when its on the radio I hear song >guess what your visuals. please remember and forgive me when I get it wrong. the good thing is lies are hard to rememer, so I chose to speak truth easier to remember.
I love the fact that in the detailed shots, they look like both kids and adults, or in better terms, 13-year-olds and teens
3 years and it still brings tears to my eyes. May this vid never get deleted!
02:05 would anyone like to explain Jake's face at this moment...
+George Manley IV haha that was because the Courtyard Droll assassinated Jake with his unfortunate peanut allergy!
this is still legitimately the best thing the homestuck community has ever made.
One of the best lyricstuck I've ever seen. Love the animation and song.
Wow. Watch this. Everyone watch this at once. This is the most amazing thing.
this is NOW my favourite video on youtube
I love how you showed the god tiers
this video makes me proud to be in this fandom.
Same
Absolutely same!
Happy 4/13
Damn it’s really perfectly
Oh my goodness!
That's all I can say!
It's truly spectacular!
It caught everything and it's just...
Oh my goodness!
Sam Thw Walnut Flower I spy, with my lil eye, a wild... SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM.
Currently crying because this reminds me of the excitement i had while reading homestuck for the first time- just watching them all reach God Tier and build their bonds with eachother always made me happy and ngl I kinda felt immersed in the sense that when a character felt an emotion I felt it second hand- and I wont be able to read the story with that edge and needing to know what happens next again.
This. Is. Genius. How could I somehow just avoid this until 2020, I'll never know.
1:18-1:49 was my favorite part of the whole video, I especially fell in love with Dave's!!!
As I watch this and see Gamzee laying down I hear hiim say
"NiTrAm"
This for some reason makes me feel nostalgic even though I just started reading the comic two weeks ago
Damn, I finished it, it was good :(
tomorrow is this videos anniversary! i can't believe i've been watching this on nonstop repeat for a year now
Goosebumps. I can't even comprehend the awesomeness this video is loaded with. Grats. Good job. Amazing and well done. This is an epic tribute to one of the best stories I've ever read!
This is probably one of the best homestuck things ever.
How does this masterpiece not have more views?
No matter how old homestuck is the fandom will never die it will go on from generation to generation growing bigger and stronger by the minute, the 1M view's is just the start of more to come.
I’m like really late to the Homestuck fandom but let me just say this has to be the greatest fan made video of Homestuck I have seen!
V G welcome to heck
Goddamn, this is incredible, really reminds me of what all the talented individuals in this fandom are capable of. This truly amazing piece of work really catches the feel of grand mythology and adventure that is Homestuck. It deserves all the likes, all of them!
I've been dragged back into Homestuck so I have an excuse to go back to all of these wonderful videos. I'm quite pleased with that!
Holy shit, going through my old subs to clear out the list, see this channel and check what I followed for, see this video and watch it again on the vague memory of "I think it was pretty cool", and not I'm just slammed with emotions. It really reminded me how much I loved Homestuck when I was reading it, and how awesome a lot of the fan content was, this video especially.
honestly I've tried to read homestuck but i could never get attached to it i left when the kid had his bathroom wrecked i just wasn't interested but things like this makes me want to get back into it but not at the same time cause this seems like the kind of series that kills all of the fans favorite characters. the first worldyest of all first world problems
+Ruby Rebecca I will offer the thought that yes, it does kill off favorite characters. Death happens for literally everyone. The real question is if they will STAY dead, which is rarely the case.
+Amanda D hmm. ok that makes it seem even more inviting i just gotta set aside some time for it i guess...
+Ruby Rebecca well think of it like this in the Mario games a Mario dies every time you mess up but new one respawn and you continue right? well that's the premise of homestuck each death is a building block to go forward
I've stopped for months at a time, because it's just so dull and hard to read in places. However, I always kept going eventually, and there comes a point where you understand everything and it's all completely EPIC for the whole rest of the comic. Also yeah I'm pretty sure everybody has died at some point or another. Death by no means stops the characters from appearing or being actively involved in the plot. They come back to life or level up or simply stay relevant as ghosts- heck, all of the dancestors were introduced while they were dead! If you can force yourself through it, it's so worth it.
River Kagamine actually I think PM is the only one that hasn't died I believe
You used one of my favorite songs in an AMV of one of my favorite things on the internet
You're literally my idol right now
The subtle references in this are unbelievable
Wow. Just... Wow. This is my favourite Homestuck animation from now on, period. This is so fucking amazing in so many levels. It really catches the Homestuck essence, the Homestuck spirit. This IS Homestuck. Congrats, amazing job.
