Listening to this on 4/13/2016 is so surreal, because it does fit the ending. It's like Aradia is telling us all that we'll be okay, especially with that open-ending. The fact that the story is over means they're all safe and sound now. It's all over. But that doesn't mean they won't live on in our spirits.
Person: "Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?" Me: "I listened to this song 10 times. I only cried 9 times." Person: "Oh my...go, go right ahead!"
+Jaida Dye-Claxton Beat this. I read every page of Homestuck up to the most recent update without shedding ONE tear. I AM A FUCKING ROBOT I SWEAR TO GOG.
person: welcome to the salty spitoon, how tough are ya? ive listened to this song everyday for the past month, and only cried twice. person:oh my god! go in just dont hurt me!
Every time I listen to this, I imagine gamzee waking up in a dream bubble and he finds himself on alternia and he sees aradia singing this to a sleeping tavros and it he starts crying because tavros is gone. I'm crying...I need help
Right in the AraTav feels. Just, Aradia singing to Tavros who just died and came to the dreambubbles "I remember you said "can't leave him alone"" and "I know he'll come back to us" is probably about Gamzee too so like. *gross sobbing* I just want those goat sheep bull kids all happy safe and together
Emmaline Haesel ;u; I gave up my heart, kidney and lung for Sadstuck. I sold my soul to Hussie, I gave my life to Dirk, and I'm in a fandom that actually UN-updated itself. I love this fandom.
Haley Marinez You have won the Life contest. Congratulations! *hands you trophy of a trash can* (ppssssst always remember just bc you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things. it's called garbage can not garbage cannot)
I didn't exactly cry but I think crying isn't really a measure of how sad a song is for people who don't really cry or aren't really emotional. This song is sad. It is really, really, really sad and as person who isn't emotional, I felt this song 200% without crying. Even if I didn't cry, my heart ached and swelled so I think the fact that if I cried or not, at this point, is pretty irrelevant.
I'm tired of always having to tell my family and cousins that I'm not soulless just because I don't cry. Hell, if I feel the teas coming, I fight them back because I don't like to be seen as sensitive. I feel like it makes me vulnerable to the world. Once we were watching Hachi and I didn't cry at all, and during the movie my mom and sister were bawling their eyes out, and saying "My heart is of stone," and "You soulless person." The only part I did cry was when they started showing the real pictures of Hachi. That made me want to cry so hard so when I felt the tears coming I ran out. I went back to my room. Why? *Because I didn't want them to see me cry.* I watched a couple romance movies (The Choice, The Notebook, ect) with my cousin (he's 16) and I didn't cry to any of them and he kelp calling me "A soulless bastard." I know he doesn't really mean it, but still... Oh shit I rambled. Haha sorry, I didn't realize how long my comment was lmao
+Sinnamon Bun Nation Same, I truly hate crying over anything fictional because my father used to yell at me for it. So whenever I am around people, I don't cry over anything that doesn't happen directly to me; it's a habit.
Me: *listens to song then looks outside* it's a bad day for rain... Mom: but it's not raining...? Me: and yet...it is... *tears roll down cheeks* I HOPE SOMEONE GETS THAT BESIDES MEEEEEEEEE
This hurts more when you remember Aradia was the guardian of the dead. Safe and Sound after the end is her protecting them all, all those who were lost. Take a look at the epilogues, at HS^2, at what happened to Vriska in the end? What happened to Terezi? All the ghosts decimated by lord english. Aradia was their guardian, but she failed them. All of them. Doesn’t feel so safe now?
I got into Homestuck so many years ago, yet I’m still not over it. Every now and then I like to take trip down memory lane to watch some of the the old videos I used to water on a regular basis. Still great
Such beautiful singing...I realize that Aradia is singing to Tavros ("fly, Pupa, fly"), but who is the "him" that Tavros couldn't leave behind and Aradia was so sure would return to them? Gamzee?? Sollux???
Because death of favorite characters is a great thing to sing about and not make me depressed. Good job at that. It destroyed my life ;-; So where can I download, huh? **sobbing in the background**
Ok but imagine aradia walking with tavs spirit, away from everything bad going on, while singing this then on the last “fly pupa fly” she lets him go and he flys away. She then goes to find others, telling them they will be ok as she walks with them. **sobbing**
i sang this for the talent show last school year (this version) and my friend dave was in the audience and he cried during the show because he has read homestuck.
A good song to do a parody of for broadway Aradia would be Are You With Me Now by Sixx a.m. Something like this Can you hear me now? I'm back from the dead You've been inside you head for too long Can you hear me now? Fight off the trolls that will hurt you Come on I dare you Can you hear me?
So Aradia is really talented and making me cry everywhere and oh, are those my intestines spilling onto the floor? Oh no, I'll clean them up, It's FINE.
i'm sprawled out across my own bed with a blanket tucked up to my collarbone after having eaten a warm, fulfilling meal comprised mostly of comfort foods and dressing in a fuzzy set of pajamas... and yet, this song gives me the inexplicable feeling of "wanting to go home". i _am_ home. my mom is downstairs. what the fuck.
NO PLEASE I used to dislike Aradia...... .....But now......... ............Omg this song made me like her. Thank you. I guess............... Now to go fix my feels.... o-o :'(
Hey, if it weren't for the Pupa part, I would have thought this was Dolorosa singing to baby Signless. Well, however you spell the Virgo ancestor's name.
This made me cry so much. I went into my living room wailing "ARADIA MADE MEE CRRYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!" Best singer ever. I try to sing along but I end up crying again.
For some reason, I can imagine Aradia gently closing Tavros' eyes and slowly waltzing with him away from the living world. That's just me and my brain though.
Oh, okay. Thank you for specifying for me, I'm still pretty new to Homestuck, so I'm grateful for the explanation. :) It makes a little more sense now that I know this. :)
This version is by far the better one when compared to the original. Also, I can't help but feel she's comforting Karkat. I don't mean that in a shipping way, just friends. It's beautiful none the less. Now here*hands over feels* I gotta go cry now.*goes into corner and starts sobbing*
The first time i heard this i didn't cry? Does this mean I have no heart...I even knew what was going on even though I haven't finished the web comic yet....
god the meaning of this song kills me...moving on, or just dying so its all over and you can leave the pain... jesus christ im dying right now. also. im not crying my eyes are just cosplaying equius...
a
hah
aha
i'm nOT CRYING I SWEAR
" fly pupa fly "
*obnoxious sobs for an orange blood*

;-; whhyyyy???
I never noticed that, and now I restarted the song to think about it like that... Now I'm SOBBING THANKS.

+Sugar Daddy this could for anyone honestly since eVERYBODIES FUCKIN DEAD ;n;
+Amanda Punko Fly Pupa fly (TAV IS PUPA PAN)
yes ik that its just that everyones dead and its sad. i also like to think that aradia would sing this to sollux T.T
miku is the worst vocaloid stop praising her grr
I thought that too!!
((I also agree with your name because she really is...))
I'm surprised not a lot of people like aradia. To me, she was one of the most inspirational and amazing character.
*walks over to a dark corner, sits down, pulls knees up to chest, and begins rocking and crying* Poor Tavros. *cries harder*
DAMMIT, NOW I FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR TAVROS'S ACCIDENT!!!!!! DAMMIT, STAR SIGNS!!!!!!!!!
*Literally starts crying since all versions literally make me cry*
WHY
JUST
W-WHY
Right in the AraTav feels. Just, Aradia singing to Tavros who just died and came to the dreambubbles
"I remember you said "can't leave him alone"" and "I know he'll come back to us" is probably about Gamzee too so like. *gross sobbing*
I just want those goat sheep bull kids all happy safe and together
pls help
im crying in humanities class
everyones freaking out and asking me whats wrong
what do
Stellagator the Seadweller -Glub- say you're not ok and ask to go to the nurse
g o l d y tell them that you couldn't fight the homestuck?
Of it happens again, you just remembered a sad thought, that's what I say
next time say pupas wings failed
In my opinion this is better than the original. .-.
I don't have another heart to rip out... so you can have my kidney....
Sorry for laughing, but that was amusing. I have a question though, is she singing about Tavros?
Emmaline Haesel
Yeah she is

...aradia really....my feeling hurt why? bro did you put something in my apple juice
ill say again, im s0 s0 s0 s0rry...
so bro didnt put somthing in my aj? owwww why?!
n0 dave, he didnt
whyyy?!
i-it hurts
This hurts more when you remember Aradia was the guardian of the dead.
Safe and Sound after the end is her protecting them all, all those who were lost.
Take a look at the epilogues, at HS^2, at what happened to Vriska in the end? What happened to Terezi? All the ghosts decimated by lord english.
Aradia was their guardian, but she failed them.
All of them.
Doesn’t feel so safe now?
Omg i didnt mean to be so ominous
So we have a Broadway Aradia, we need a Broadway Damara.
H0W 80U57 N0 PL3457H
If we did itd probably be in all Japanese
and it will be really,really dirty
ChubbyBun Baozi yup
+ChubbyBun Baozi ((Admin: LUVORATORRYYYYY! Voca. Damara))
This song is just oh my god all the feels are killing me right now..
I got into Homestuck so many years ago, yet I’m still not over it. Every now and then I like to take trip down memory lane to watch some of the the old videos I used to water on a regular basis. Still great
Come back to memory lane again comrade o7
Such beautiful singing...I realize that Aradia is singing to Tavros ("fly, Pupa, fly"), but who is the "him" that Tavros couldn't leave behind and Aradia was so sure would return to them? Gamzee?? Sollux???
My guess is Gamzee :))
When you ship Tavradia as moirails.
Because death of favorite characters is a great thing to sing about and not make me depressed. Good job at that. It destroyed my life ;-;
So where can I download, huh? **sobbing in the background**
"you're a cry baby"
I'll have you know I listened to this song and only cried for 10 minutes
"oh my god you're so strong"
Ok but imagine aradia walking with tavs spirit, away from everything bad going on, while singing this then on the last “fly pupa fly” she lets him go and he flys away. She then goes to find others, telling them they will be ok as she walks with them. **sobbing**
Omfg her voice is beautiful I love it so much it's so so so pretty and beautiful
I agree
*extreme sobbing in my heart because my eyes are too dry to cry*
EUnicorn you feel my pain! I can sometimes cry, but normally not a lot.
i sang this for the talent show last school year (this version) and my friend dave was in the audience and he cried during the show because he has read homestuck.
A good song to do a parody of for broadway Aradia would be Are You With Me Now by Sixx a.m. Something like this
Can you hear me now?
I'm back from the dead
You've been inside you head for too long
Can you hear me now?
Fight off the trolls that will hurt you
Come on I dare you
Can you hear me?
I FUCKING DIED AT "FLY PUPA FLY"
RIGHT OH MAN THAT GOT ME
I-I-I'm not crying you a-are.... *sobs* OH MY GOG I NEED MY ROMCOMS.
+Levi The Cleanser You're right, I am crying *sobs*
+Liz Smith I know.... *More sobs*
*hugs* shoosh it's ok
Karkat, do you wanna talk about it? Or if you want we can just talk about romcoms.
So Aradia is really talented and making me cry everywhere and oh, are those my intestines spilling onto the floor? Oh no, I'll clean them up, It's FINE.
That was beautiful. so many feels...and that's a pretty voice
this song always makes me feel safe and like cleaned out sad at the same time, the kind you feel after a good cry.
I didn't need my heart anyway-
So much feels ._.
No.. dont read comments while listening to this.. *holds back tears* must be strong.. im not that far in the comic.. but i must be strong

.....But now.........
............Omg this song made me like her.
Thank you.
I guess............... Now to go fix my feels.... o-o :'(
I cry when I listen to this, but that's fine. I love this
The sudden realization this is a song about Tavros.
I love Aradia voice so much ;-; it's so beautiful. I love this song. My OTP is TavrosxAradia so this song is perfect for it
thats a thing? tav and ari?
yes
jett harper what? No way! Thats so cool! See (insert cool look) everyone wants to get a piece of my sign. (Insert cool smirk)
xD tav or ari? r u taurus or aries?
+jett harper taurus! (i mean come on EVERYONE wants Rufio)
H-how am I not crying...?

*feels a little better* Thanks...:')
((Nepeta is my patron troll btw))
im going to try to make a nepeta and equis version
Please do! I'd totally see that. :)
Do it! Please
Dai non That would be awesome! Any progress so far?
dave: THIS IS NOT OKAY
I dunno why, but I can easily imagine Dolorosa singing this to Tav
Hey, if it weren't for the Pupa part, I would have thought this was Dolorosa singing to baby Signless. Well, however you spell the Virgo ancestor's name.
Oh my god, she has such a beautiful voice! I 've got goosebumps everywhere ;__;
listening to this on repeat after reading dear starboy on wattpad
help
i cant stop
I CANT EVEN CRY ANYMORE IVE USED UP ALL OF MY TEEARS
this song is so touching i cant stop crying it remind me of a friend but he leave me but some time this song makes me smile for awhile
It's been too long since commented here, so I've come to say how beautiful this is once again.
Her voice is beautiful.
And this definitely sold me on starting Homestuck.
Wow this is just beautiful. Great job everyone who worked on this!
ok you impressed me too much now....here take my subscribe... just take it...take all of my subscribe
I come back to this video once in a while :((
is 2020 and i still not over this song... i might never be
I've been listening to all of these songs on repeat for over two days now XD
tHIS SONG COMBINED WITH HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE IS MAKING ME CRY NO
I dIDNT KNOW YOUD BE HERE SOBS
RIP
as a tavros kinnie i just gotta say this song makes me CRY
SaME-
I wish they had more nepeta
My eyes began watering up the moment I heard her voice. This-this is so beautiful. And sad and.. ow. There goes my heart. ;-;
I'm not crying, you are.
I-- I have no words.
Oh God... As a aries I love this song and hearing this version of Aradia singing it IM CRYING 😭
OMG As a swiftie I love this sooooo much!! Augh feels
This made me cry so much. I went into my living room wailing "ARADIA MADE MEE CRRYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!" Best singer ever. I try to sing along but I end up crying again.
I freaking love Off Broadway Aradia, I've never really loved her til I started getting into Broadwaystuck and she just gives me the pheelyest feels.
I never thought I would cry because of a song.... but that was so beautiful and soooooooo sad!!! "Fly pupa, fly" *nonstop sobbing*
Beautiful. So many feels in one song. :'(
I honestly get shivers when I listen to this song.
It seems that it has started to rain
//sobbing
This song and fade into the dark just... Hurt... And yet I can never just leave them. I always end up coming back to them.
HER VOICE IS SO PRETTY
Beautiful.
Tbh I love this version more than the original...
Back here on 4-13-the first part of the epilogue came out today
A beautiful cover
I've or watched this like five or six times..? Idk.. and I still haven't cried I have no soul.
Just close your eyes nothing happened to me but fly pupa fly got me from thinking about how beautiful the song is to tears
For some reason, I can imagine Aradia gently closing Tavros' eyes and slowly waltzing with him away from the living world. That's just me and my brain though.
clinical Herbalist hey someone’s still here
i...I had a constant pang in my chest as this played
my feels
I listened to this a while ago and it just got stuck in my head but I couldn't remember what it was so I searched it and I was not prepared for this
Oh, okay. Thank you for specifying for me, I'm still pretty new to Homestuck, so I'm grateful for the explanation. :) It makes a little more sense now that I know this. :)
*as if i didn't have a huge crush on her already i get this-*
This version is by far the better one when compared to the original. Also, I can't help but feel she's comforting Karkat. I don't mean that in a shipping way, just friends. It's beautiful none the less. Now here*hands over feels* I gotta go cry now.*goes into corner and starts sobbing*
One of the best songs
cant stop crying. one of the most sadding songs ever
so beautiful although so sad, i love this :')
I haven't gotten that far into homestuck ... but I have the chills from this song....
*more tears* why do most of Aradia's songs make me cry?!?!
I dont like Aradia that much, but this song hit my feels ; ;..
Damn me and my softness.
Actually no. I like Aradia kinda more because this song hit me HARD. Plus shes my sign since she aeries ; ;..//clings to Aradia for comfort
xMusicalRemedy
*pats humans head* its all right, human
she has a amazing voice
....I'm crying too much.
😭 homestuck changed my life.
The first time i heard this i didn't cry? Does this mean I have no heart...I even knew what was going on even though I haven't finished the web comic yet....
god the meaning of this song kills me...moving on, or just dying so its all over and you can leave the pain... jesus christ im dying right now.
also. im not crying my eyes are just cosplaying equius...
