      @@metabee6539 Homestuck is a very long webcomic by Andrew hussie. It is in the style of old choose your own adventure games. It's complicated, confusing, and arguably a masterpiece. It isn't for everyone, but if you have time, it is a truly rewarding experience to read it. It is the height of modern post-modernist humor

    - Listen the music.
    - Notice the katana.
    - Think that he just put it down.
    - Few hours later, notice the shadow and notice that the katana is stabing the shadow.
    - Cry.
    - Then see that Toby fox made the music so just wonder how he can be so talented.

      As a long time hs fan who was part of the "old fandom" I just wanted to say thank you for keeping SBURB alive, instead of getting my hs serotonin from upd8s I now get it whenever I see new fans. You can never truly leave the homestuck fandom, no matter how little I interact with the fandom it will always be at the very centre of my heart. But knowing that there are still new fans means a lot. Makes me want to paint myself grey and reread everything all over again🤣 The fandom might not be what it was but hs has always been constantly evolving, I started reading in 2014 during the gigapause (holy shit nearly a decade ago), I never felt like I was part of the "old fandom" then and I always wished I'd been apart of it from the beginning, but who knows what Hussie has planed next in his weird little head. In a decades time it might have been revived again and then you'd be considered part of the old fandom too, what really matters is that you went on the insane journey ❤

    • @Iryldrith
      @Iryldrith 10 місяців тому +4

      this might be the wrong place to share this but i feel this on an almost gut wrenching level
      i started reading homestuck just after the final act 7 page released in early 2016 and by that point the height that the fandom was once at had faded away, and i had a desire for a long time that maybe if i had just gotten into hs a few years eariler they i could have seen all the popular amvs as they were coming out and participate in the fandoms theory crafting of what was gonna happen next, and wait for the hype of the next big flash page
      now 6 years later that ive aged and my tastes have changed a lot im left with very complicated feelings on homestuck, i dont think its good but i like it; i cant reccomend it, but i want my friends to read it, etc. but no matter what my feelings on hs are, my feelings on all the content around it will never change,, you dont need any context to understand the beauty of the blue lips amv, or appreciate this energetic comfort of this song.
      im not sure how i feel about a somewhat poorly pased, dense as hell, glorified coming of age story, but i couldnt hold all the music, and art, and fan projects that came from it in higher regard.

    • @minuanomlr
      @minuanomlr 7 місяців тому +2

      i haven't been around since the genesis of the webcomic, but i started keeping up with it around 2015
      all the fan content being pumped out back then made this one of the most satisfying communities i've ever had the pleasure of participating in
      this song fills me with nostalgia in a positive sense, it doesn't make me feel sad that it's over, but happy that it happened
      i'm not interested in reading hs2 anymore, i've mostly moved on from my attachment to the webcomic, but i'll forever remain a part of the community, and i hope newcomers feel welcome and at home with us, be it in the genesis project, pesterchum, farragofiction, mspfa, etc

    this song and the art are just so bittersweet. block out the shadow of dirks betaverse self's final moment and its a sweet painting in a cute art style. but then theres the tragedy behind him. he's unaware of it. the song itself... at first the song, strongly in its rhythm, especially that of the accompanying piano, seems so cheery. yet when the song comes together with all its different aspects, theres a melancholy and almost nostalgic sorrow. even the title. moonsetter. oh the emotional cocktail this creates. the kind that makes you cry and smile at the same time. i feel a nearly nauseating sadness in my stomach, threatening to make me cry at any given moment should i allow it to. but theres a happiness in my heart. this piece is so beautiful. its so beautiful and so fucking sad. the conflicting emotions. nearly enough to make a fucker puke! okay actually no throwing up because of feelings would be stupid stupid dumb but i wasnt being figurative with that "nauseating sadness" bit. >.

      Nicole Collins You also missed the fact that the sword being in his heart reflects the pain he's endured, with all the Jake struggles and his own identity issues. The song kind of shows this better. It's not so much that Dirk is unaware, it's that there's a parallel intended between Dirk's emotions, and Bro's fate in the Betaverse.

    I remember seeing a comment on either this one or the other Moonsetter video that said "why do homestucks cry over the happiest songs wtf" or something along the lines of that. Well, when i first got into HS it was a hard time in my life and let me just say because of that comic i met some of the best people in my life, got into cosplay, felt an interest in something when i wasn't willing to notice anything anymore, and well to shorten this up, the comic made me happy even though everything else going on was shitty. This is one of those songs that i associate with that period of my life because it just made me so damn happy. I'll admit, to this day i cry over homestuck every now and then, as silly as it is to say. Obviously, i'm not as into it as i was before, but regardless it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

The hustle and bustle of the evening are dying away as shops close. It's a song of parting at the end of a day, or spending the last moments of moonlight dancing in the streets. It's a lullaby for the world.

    As much as I love this song, it’s so heartbreaking to hear. It’s heartbreaking for the webcomic I love so much with the characters to adore. But it’s also hard to listen to when I would put this on and Cosplay trolls with my friend who showed me Homestuck. He unfortunately passed, and despite it being a few years I always miss him.

    Ah...such bittersweet. It evokes those sweet pains and bitter glories of the older times. The childhood memories, the prideful victories, the sorrowful defeats, the punishing humiliations...like a puppet show of the four humors reenacting your life story for you to reminisce within and from beyond. Such beautiful phantasmagoria...such innocent melancholy. It causes one to simultaneously look behind, and look onward...without ever turning around in the first place, or ever intending it. Truly mystical, and miraculous. Now...may I ask...
    ...what does it hold for *you*?

    In a D&D campaign I wrote, I made this the song for this literal Heaven On Earth place, literally called Moonset. Every character the players killed were there, living happy lives compared to the apocalypse they just came out of, where everyone was mutated and killing each other.
    This was where the final battle is fought, with all the characters of Moonset uniting together with the player characters to fight this evil god bent on obliterating the planet just to spite his dad.

      To me it kind asounds like relaxing a bit and taking a break during a warm night with full moon, after a really hard day/week, trying to be calm down and relax, even if you have everything under control but at the same time you know that things are getting out of control, and that they may and will get worse than how they are now, but you can't let your guard down on those things, or everything will really be lost. Pretty much like the last time you will be able to relax, clear your mind and take a break before something big, unevitable and bad happens. Something that you will be taking part of and that will make you put all your effort into solving it, to get to the best possible conclusion from it. As you keep taking your last break, you sometimes think that no matter what you do, everything is already lost. You also think that only you can fix it, that it all depends on you, that you are important and vital.
      That is how Moonsetter makes me feel, quite a good soundtrack to listen while studying for exams. It has that sad touch even if it also sound happy, but it also makes me feel motivated in stuff. Also, this should be Dirk's theme.

    Here's a funny story about this song.
    No, I did not read Homestuck so please don't kill me.
    It was the summer of 2020 when I first listened to this song. It sounded so nostalgic yet it was the first time I had heard this song. It had instantly become my favorite.
    Also that summer, I managed to get to be friends with my crush. We became good friends as we would talk to each other almost every day. It was then that she stopped talking to me. I revisit this song every once in a while to have the memories of that humid, warm summer flow back to me. This song brings me great pain and great joy.
    I love this song.

    The fact that most of my direct family plays an instrument that is played in this song (Cello, Piano, Violin) just makes me feel even more nostalgic about this, for some reason. In the future, I can imagine myself listening to this while sitting on the roof of some building, staring at the stars. Even farther in the future, I can see myself, after the death of a loved one, listening to this to mourn. This is just how I see myself with this song. At the same time, I can hear it being the happiest song I've ever heard, like it's Christmas morning and this song plays. It's a happy-sad mix, and the song follows whatever emotion you want it to follow.

      Homestuck is kinda boring for the first few acts. I definitley thought the same as you when my friend showed it to me. It was so boring I forgot about it for over a year then I found some Homestuck music and remembered it, so I started reading it again because the music was really good and the flash animations were really good. Act 4 and 5 are when the comic starts to get really good, and past that is much better.

It was so sad that John started to cry while playing because he knew the whole grandpa/nana situation.

    Never read Homestuck once, but I’ve always respected it because of the music both the series and the fans put out, and this has gotta be one of my favorite pieces from Homestuck.
    Just 3 instruments, creating such a beautifully made melody that just seems so nostalgic and makes you want more for something that you don’t even know about.

    I swear, this song brings back too many memories. back in 2013, 2015, when everything was ok.

    It's always nice to enjoy the quiet moments with friends and family that you trust.
    I wonder if Dirk has ever taken a moment to ponder what that really means.

    This song feels like setting an entire city ablaze and flying away into a warm blue sky as you're watching it fall.

    My orchestra teacher made me listen to this . . . . She called it mindful listening . . .
    I call it painful. ;-;

    I can't say how many times I've come to this video just to sit and listen while doing home or schoolwork, or when really stressed. It's just so tranquil.

    Holy crap I thought the katana in Dirk's shadow meant that he killed AR or something. Now I realize what it actually means.
