Artysta Sadysta LMAO SAME
I just got into homestuck like, two weeks ago, and I’m honestly sad at how dead the fandom is. I get that it came out when I was like, four, but still....
happy 4/13, if homestuck was written in 2019 karkat would be calling people incels
burn this comment i swear to god
LMAO IM SOBBING AT THIS COMMENT HYSHYAGYGYSSHBS
yes❤️
WHAT A LOVELY DAY TO B E A L I V E
tbh yea❤
Eridan was 13 while he was dealing with all of this. With grappling pretending to believe in the hemospectrum, thinking he needed to be a villain, wanting to be loved, not wanting to be abandoned, jealousy, abandonment, his bitterness, and his resentment. Through his lines both in the comic and PQ you really see how much he hates himself and how much he just does his fake plans of slaughter for attention and because he believes to be a proper “high blood” he NEEDS to be that way.
THANK YOU
god fucking- IM EMOTIONALLY ATTATCHED TO THE FISH PRINCE GOD-
IM CRYING
I'm so late but yeah! also it seems like princes tend to self destruct first, and then the result of that self destruction leads to all of the negativity being inflicted on others. Ie Eridan destroyed his own hope and then out of bitterness and hurt, he went on to destroy others' hope
SO TRUE SPENCER G
'if yellow's the new purple then bleeding's the new breathing' honestly ? art
Yeah that's probably my favorite line in the song.
He is talking about the fact that Sollux "stole" feferi from him?
Olillio yes, more like she chose sollux over him, and it had hurt him because he thought they were going to be matesprits
When you've listened to the song for at least a year now, and you've seen this comment and others for a long time as well, and YOU JUST. GOT THE MEANING. Holy shit it's genius I love it why didn't I get it before ;-;
Tunemu honestly I didn’t know that line meant that until now
One thing that always hurts my heart is that Eridan is the Prince of Hope. The Prince class is a class of destruction, so he was literally destined to destroy hope itself, both in himself and in those around him. It's tragic.
LIKE GAMZEE OMG WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO BE SAD I WANT TO HUG THEM ALL
"To destroy x" or "to destroy with x," or "to destroy x with x."
Homeboy had a bad hand, sure, but that doesn't mean he was out of options.
@@zacharybosley1935he could have destroyed using hope, he could have been one of the most useful characters in his session, since hope almost literally let's you do whatever you want to. But he was so self destructive and miserable, he was drawn to destroy hope, even subconsciously, his first instinct when seeing angels (beangs made of hope) was to hunt them
@@aleksabanjevic8316 Well, other people destroyed him just as much. Feferi basically used Eridan as a beast slayer for her lusus. As soon as that thing was dead she immediately dumps him with a cheerful "let's focus on building something new" with no once ounce of consideration. Which shows her true nature within since she was meant to be a morail regardless of how homestuck or the fans try to depict her. He also gets ghosted by his kismesis at the time, which make sense but you think over the course of several issues she would of messaged him once.
Eventually Eridan tries to form new friendships and relationships with others but is rebuffed. In many times insultingly. Hope is attached to relationships, all hope players have a attraction/ repulsion dynamic to them. It's kind of hard toi have hope for the future where you're just brooding alone in your hide out and being told by everyone you're repulsive. He actually stops seeking relationships beyond associate/ friends very quickly and becomes defensive of the fact - as shown where he gives his gun to a player and has to make it clear that it's a purely platonic act of legacy out of nowhere -
The only hope Eridan actually had was Karkat. He had no one to interact with otherwise. He had no future plans - they're all gone - and his main hobbies involved collecting doom weapons and battle tactics for his low blood purge - they're almost all dead. The fact he dosen't start killing them now, by the way, is a show of Eridan true inner nature - When Eridan actually acts out he no longer had any ties to any of the trolls - just as much their doing as his. The sonfg put it best. He was under no obligation to ally or work with them they ignore or disrespect him - then rightfully defended himself when others attacked. When he was attacked first actually by the mage of doom.
Princes always start off unstable. They actually need a slyph or support early on - notice he become stronger and gains a little bit of hope because of jade. - he might of made it. Dirk was much the same but luckily dirk self conscious, heart nature made him too self analytic to let his destructive side loose on people had a real connection. He had friends. Eridan didn't. He had a friend who's connection was waivering because he was the odd duck out and karkat was friends with half those people.
Eridan could've still been a Prince of Hope and destroyed his fundamnetally flawed and racist view of the world to grow as a person
unfortunately for him he was last in the "respect from the story" department, being behind even tavros and equius
this song did eridan's entire arc more justice than the comic itself
Just realized “I’m a prince” refers to both Eridan’s class and his social standing in the hemospectrum. God I love PhemieC (/p) so much.
Just had a similar epiphany when I realized "I live in a ship" also had a second meaning. XD
Whenever I hear " if yellows the new purple, then bleeding is the new breathing." I can't help but think of the Blood and Breath aspects since they're the opposite of each other
Ricardo Rodriguez I always assumed it was about Sollux but that's,, actually really smart
Incorrigible-Sparky Well, it is. But I'm talking about the second half
Incorrigible-Sparky And the second half is also about Sollux, but my mind jump to another conclusion first
i think that was the point-
I figured it was his way of saying that if solix is replacing him, then bleeding is a new breathing meaning he killed them
What gets me is that he says “I have a friend I pity quite a bit”
Pity is the troll’s version of love.
Oof
@Mariana Sequira according to Karkat: Pity is the primary emotion responsible for Red Romance
@Mariana Sequira yes. She broke off their moirailegence saying she didn't need to keep taking care of him and stopping him from hurting anyone anymore at the same time he was going to ask her to be his matesprit
She broke it off with him completely _after_ he asked her about being his matesprite because she couldn't handle the pressure and responsibility of just being his moirail and didn't like how no matter what she did, he was still an awful person
but pity isn't any of the quadrants?
@@its.halcyonne It's not the name of a quadrant, but it's the word they use in place of love/hate sometimes (or something like that at least)
Ya know the whole of Homestuck is so interesting. I always forget that everyone we are following are in fact, children. They all act so much more mature than that (generally speaking) but when you think about it, these are a bunch of barely teenage kids responsible for making choices that have dire consequences. They are children that have been given this burden, while still having to learn who they are and, to some degree, what the difference between right and wrong is. It’s truly tragic when you think about it that way.
Yeah I always forget they're so young
It’s so weird remembering these are all just kids, especially with all the murdering and whatnot that happens during the act (I want to say 5?) this song is about. It’s like a weird Lord of the Flies situation, you know?
I know that people really don't like Eridan, but I just feel bad for him. He's the equivalent of 13, nobody has it figured out by then. He's just an emotional kid with not so good self esteem doing what he thinks is the correct way of interacting with people. All the "I'm pathetic" stuff sounds annoying to be sure, but it really shows whats going on behind all the douchey stuff he does. He's that kid in middle school who bullies you because he's insecure and doesn't know how to cope with it.
He was the Prince of Hope as well, meaning he thought he was supposed to save his ‘friends’ and give them hope when really his purpose was to destroy it. He was a kid who had always been an outcast and clung to the Hemospectrum for dear life because it gave him a place where he belonged. No child should be put under that kind of pressure, so I don’t really blame him. I love Eridan so much.
@@harpercantspell8721 me to. He's my precious baby, I would willing be he's moirail!
Hes also a representation of a nice guy/crazy ex/ incel. Yes hes 13, but ge also was an incommensurable asshole, even regarding to troll standards
@@gallygumn5459 Vriska was the same age, but far worse than him. At least Eridan showed actual signs of being a good person when people were nice to him (ie Kanaya when she made him that wand). Vriska was just a massive prick through and through. Him vaguely resembling an incel doesn’t change that.
@@zenzenulous2243 Vriska is wicked and can be a bully or a murderous psycho to the people she dislikes, but evolves to feel actual sorrow for her actions and take responsabilities for them, though in the end she is still a huge bitch to Jake and Tavros, and stays overall less scrupulous than average, since she considers useless to keep grudges for conflicts that has been resolved.
Though I passionatly hated Vriska during my read, her actions are more justified than Eridan's, as she is written to be an embodiment of the expression "the end justifies the means", and usually have a greatest interest than her own pleasure (though we could say her ego is her main motivation, she does work to get it out alive with most of her crew, and put herself at risk for that). We can't say she is a "good" person, but she has a nobility of soul and great qualities to compensate.
Whereas Eridan had evolved for the worse, and is killed early, imo to show that there wont be improvements/ evolution, just like Feferi, Aradia, Sollux ect... (if you consider, like me, that they all have been killed because they wouldn't need to change, or wont have to). While he is described as liking action, he isnt presented as someone that takes the initiative in situations of trouble. His involvement in the sburb seccion is barely mentionned (though it is the case for half the trolls) except for his grudge against Sollux and his flirting, and he isnt much active in the asteroid/laboratory either. In his text, he mostly flirts, rants or whine. While Karkats memos were a clusterfuck to begin with, the reaction of his past him to karkat announcing (probably not explicitly enough, I agree) the murder of Feferi was to try, again to flirt with him.
But I gotta say, I mostly base my opinions of Eridan by judging hiw hw is portrayed by Hussie in the comic. Between Eridan and Vriska, one is clearly shown as smarter, more competent/ useful, with stronger bonds and more self awareness. I also think there is a reason Eridan doesn't get any heroic moments or scenes that could make him more sympathetic.
'And I don't mean to be hurtful, but if yellow's the new purple, well then bleeding's the new breathing' holy shit, that sent chills down my spine
Eve Baillie That's my favorite part besides
"Im a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares but then I guess I bored them both to death."
I know I’m a month late but my fav is
“Cause wwhen they get ahold of us wwe’ll all be batter-fried, and I’m surprised that nobody’s considered swwitching sides”
Eve Baillie
Saaaame
mine is "I'vve made a manifesto, I'vve been bested by a crook, but nevvermore! I'm plannin on reclaimin wwhat the took"
My favourites from least to most:
"I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules, but when have angels ever helped me yet?"
"And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces, better yet invent a brand new method of ascension! I'm impressed you managed to survive, but better off we'd all be better off dead than alive, cause when they get ahold of us, we'll all be batter-fried! And I'm surprised nobody's considered switching sides."
"So put away your laughter. Pack up your hopes and dreams."
And my absolute favourite is interestingly enough, the chorus:
"So what do you want me to say, sorry? Should I apologize when you ignore me? I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely. Or to be hatched into an ugly story... Oh my... This pantomime is getting... Gory."
For some reason every time I hear that last bit, it reminds me of Jawson Bog from Bastion, and the bits where Rucks' voice gets distorted.
ive been avoiding this song for like three years bc i used to be obsessed with it when i was a homestuck and i was cringy as fuck but
holy hell this song is so beautiful alshsgsjb
i feel ya man
same
Say what one will about Homestuck or its fans, PhemieC is undoubtedly a lyrical genius.
Yeah I try to avoid anything that reminds me of Homestuck. Um.....and here I am. So we know how that went 🙃
@@salfisher2429 mood
When I first heard this song I thought that Eridan was a backround character that was a pirate in some kind of a videogame.
He was a prince, but he wasn't a good one, he was desperate for attention that he never got so he'd go to bars and such and one night he played a card game with 11 "people" but he broke the rules in the game and ended up killing all of the other players.
"And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces" He can't overcome the fact that he had to run away and hide because he's now an outlaw.
"Better yet invent a brand new method of ascension" He wants to make his own rules and be the prince he was supposed to be.
"I'm impressed you've managed to survive" A girl pirate finds him and recognizes him to be the prince.
"But rest assured we'd all be better of dead than alive, cause when they get ahold us we'd all be better fried" The king is killing every outlaw in horrible ways.
"I'm suprised that nobodys considered switching sides" Eridan is suprissd that the pirates and outlaws don't just hand themself over and be spared but continue fighting bravely.
"So here I am, repectfully and royally destroying any chance of getting back on your good gills" The girl pirate who found him started teaching him about how to be a pirate, and he knows he's dissapointing his dather but he doesn't care.
"And I dont mean to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple, well then bleedings the new breathing" He's one of the pirates now, he wants no harm to his family, but he wants things to be right.
Something happens here and the pirate girl hurt Eridan in some way.
"I might be your killer but you'll never be my queen" Out of anger he kills the pirate girl.
"So put away your laughter" The last thing the girl did was laugh.
"I'm done with black black-handling and red pandering, it seems" He's done with trying to save the world in his own way
"That I am just pathetic" he feels guilty about killing her.
"I wont be overlooked" She had said something that made him really mad.
"I'm past the point of fishing to get back up on your hook" He knows he can't go back to his old home
"I've made a manifesto" He knows everyone wants him killed because of what he had done
"I've been bested by a crook" He got into a bad fight and at this part he got hit by some weapon
"But never more!" Sike he wins the fight and gets cool scars
"I'm planning on reclaiming what he took" Eridan is going to try to get the throne from his brother that took the lead after his father randomly died.
"So what did you want me to say- sorry?" He had a fight to get the throne but he lost and his brother said if he'd say sorry he'd get to live
"Should I apologize when you ignore me?" Eridan was always ignored while his brother was praised
"Didn't ask to be right" Eridan still thinks his actions were right, even if many innocent died
"Or to be lonely" he had always been left out
"Or to be hatched into an ugly story" He wished he was never born.
"This pantomime is getting gory" He's bleeding to his death.
In the end his life flashes through his eyes as he dies.
After reading homestuck I realized I was so wrong.
That actually sounds like a good anime plot ngl
That’s really cool!
Wwait wwhy do i wwant to wwrite this noww? This seems like a really good book plot
might as well fuck around and make this an au
Holy fuck I love this so much. Needs more likes
moral of the story:
he's a prince and he lives in a ship and he aims his rifle and he shoots from the hip
edit: i cant believe that this entire reply section came together to sing this entire song i love it here
And he has a friend he pitties quite a bit
And she said "Grab your gun, let's have some fun, share with me your perigrees, I have responsibilities I cannot run."
''i do not wish the death of any living thing, i might be a killer, but one day i shall be queen-''

he played a game with eleven fools who told him not to break the rules, but when have angels ever helped him yet?
We all can't lie, we all like to revisit our Homestuck phase. Whether it be beautiful music like so, or fanfic written to please you, we all love and still revisit this fandom. It's nice to see that it's been alive since 2009. Impressive I must say. You did a good job Hussie, GG dude.
Revisit? The hell you talking about. I still reread homestuck to this day
@@MeecaAngel We... *god-teired*
we didn't even godtier, we scratched. there's a whole new load of homestucks coming in.
I never left my Homestuck phase lol.
my homestuck phase included reading the entire thing just recentely and boi i love it
my fav
I hated that we didn't get a redemption ark for Eridan , i really liked him as a character.
Me too T_T
We need it.
MrFuthisshit in some way I think it's good we didn't get one, though it would have been nice to see more of him
dude fuck eridan he wanted genocide and killed three people what the fuck
Let's all just agree that it was Feferi's own fault
Growing up is defined by realizing Eridan had so much potential and deserves better than everything he got.
well yeah, he was a kid, kids have potential & dont deserve to die. hes still just as much of an asshole though. that hasnt stopped being a thing
I cant help but reflect that there are moments and thoughts that mirrored Eridans growing up, hating myself yet not understanding why others disliked me, getting angry at others when I should of been bettering myself. We are all dumb when we're young, like Eridan
Honestly I always felt like Hussie had some sort of odd interaction with an Aquarius as a teen or something because literally every other troll got some amount of respect or closure except Eridan. The other trolls even openly scoffed at the idea of bringing him back when they had the chance and Hussie openly admitted to disliking him the most out of all the characters. Hussie wrote Eridan sympathetically but then proceeded to treat him like actual garbage even more so than character who's entire personality was "shipping cat girl" or the "sweaty horse lover"
@@robertcommonsky6248 To me it always felt like Hussie didn’t base the negative part of Eridan on another person. It feels like he put all his own personal hate of himself into Eridan. The level of feeling completely displaced while know exactly what he is supposed to be doing always felt incredibly personal, self loathing, distrusting yourself, distancing yourself personally to not be involved with others, just feels too personal. I think that’s also why he didn’t get closure, Hussie felt he didn’t deserve it, so Eridan didn’t either. Obviously this is pure speculation, but it feels right to me.
eridan is such a interesting character, like i get why people don't like him but i love the guy and the deeper layers. like yes he stuck up and think he's more important than everyone else but the self esteem issues, the identity issues and the fact that he couldn't keep any of his quadrants. there is so much to eridan and i love that
I adore Eridan. Many people call his character terrible, but he is very attractive to me
I'm the weirdo who likes Eridan *becasue* he sucks.
Hes a cautionary tale both for Alternian Society and SGRUB/SBURB. Dude let his romantic angst and arrogance blind him to what a game *based around personal development* was practically laying at his feet.
i feel like im in 2014 again
Schrødingers Ram same man, since hiveswap was /supposed/ to come out I got sucked back in.
Schrødingers Ram same mate
Hey, at least you got out a FIRST time. I have NEVER been able to leave xD

Nothing . Everything he actually loved all of them. except sol. he loved them...

Pheo oshititstrue
“I’m surprised that nobody’s considered switching sides” gives me chills.
Why am I crying over a song about a fish incel
I find it fascinating that both Ampora's are destructive classes, with Eridan being a prince and Cronus being a bard.
Well both Makara's are also destructive, with Kurloz being a prince and Gamzee being a bard
At least Cronus was likeable. Even his murderous Alternian self had a sense of honor.
Matija Putica 8910 The Makaras are both assholes as well. What a coincidence.
@@mirrorzone5224 ... Cronus was likeable?
SugarySpoon Yeah, in a douchey round about kind of way. His Beforus self just wanted to embrace his greasersona and find love. His Alternian self was a killer and a slaver, but he was mostly just performing his duties to serve the Condesce, and he despised the torment of lower blood castes for the sake of pleasure.
I like how everyone forgives gamzee for killing almost everyone but then Eridan does it and everyone dies
Then this comes
edit: basically, these kids have issues...
Someone finally said it
that’s cuz its fuggin gamzee
Paranoid Puppet Gamzee murders people “Eh, it’s fine he’s cool.”
Eridan murders people “OH MY GOD ERIDAN IS THE WORST TROLL”
It wasn't just the fact he killed people - Eridan was also shitty to his friends and loved ones before SGRUB even happened, like calling Nepeta by bloodcaste-related titles instead of her name, pressuring Feferi into being his matesprite and then getting angry when she refused, breaking the rules of the game with no regard for anyone else's safety, destroying the matriorb, etc etc; he's a good character but a terrible troll
i love both eridan and gamzee, but lets not forget gamzee never wanted to kill anyone, he got sober and went insane so he couldnt control himself while eridan knew what he was doing. i still love both of thhem tho.
"i might be a killer but one day i shall be queen" and "i might be your killer but youll never be my queen" always get me...
I have no idea what the hell homestuck is about but this is a bop. My older sister was really into homestuck and she told me that since I’m an Aquarius I’m supposed to be this guy. I’m fine with that, apparently is a prince that lives in a ship 😌
u have so much to learn
oh no
…oh no..
@@batbehavior where can you read it
uh oh
I love the music. But listening to the lyrics, it does remind me of just how little we really know of Eridan's character. We know he was one of the few who advocated for the hemospectrum, but we also know that he hated all landdwellers. The closest human equivalent I can come up with would be the Nazis, advocating for a very specific type of 'human breed' and killing off the others? He was also constantly vying for attention, but as the song says, couldn't keep the two quadrants he managed to fill. Keep in mind, Feferi did not break up with him because he was flushed for her, it was because she entered moirallegiance with him only out of necessity. My best guess into his personality is that he is unable to connect with other beings, despite wanting to. His frustration with his inability to connect/understand may be the reason behind his genocidal tendencies.
Ok but whats sadder is that Vriska was the one who dumped him all of a sudden without saying anything.
Like, the two were the "hottest (black) couple around" and then suddenly she stops responding
At least Feferi told him her reasons.
also he was 13, a litteral child
He wasn’t actually genocidal
He knew the doomsday weapon wouldn’t work and didn’t care.
He had a lot of land dweller friends
And as Feferi said, he seems to spend way more time on land than in the sea
Its also implied in-comic that he self-harmed and wrote a wishlist (?) In his own blood
@@saplingsr4ever Jesus how did I miss that!?
I love this song even if we are in 2017
Your name states otherwise.
Dear Terepy ay like 333 half way to 666

Dear Terepy omg me too
Nah-hah! Try 2018!
bro if you think about it Eridan is like a pretty sad character. this dude literally killed the women he loved. he never got love, attention, or to have a carefree childhood and then he died alone and bitter with no one to care about who he was. like thats pretty fuckin sad
he died an angry bitter asshole, just like he wanted
It's amazing after all these years, nobody has realized that the entire reason he is the prince of hope is because he was oppressed by expection of his blood color, and therefore secluded himself to his own imagination discerning what the expectations of a violet blood meant. No one told him he could he his own person, and therefore he abolished his own Hopes of ever being more than a king of the sea.

I've heard this song so many times thinking that the homestuck fandom just looked upon it and said "oh nice" and kinda claimed it as their own?? I never knew that it was an ACTUAL homestuck fansong.
Yeah this song about the character Eridan. Every line is very important to his character and what he goes through in Homestuck
I see lot.ofnpeople cringing at their Homestuck phase, well I didn't read it back when it was at it's height, and honestly while some fans were overzelous back then, this story was legitimately well made, both in the comedic and the serious moments and frankly none of you should be ashamed that you like it :)
Just felt I should say it
-From a recent fan currently only just starting Act 6
for me instead of cringing at my homestuck phase i just got back into the fandom
i cringe because i was a fucking weeb back when i was 12-13 reading homestuck. i was so ugly about it i would say HoNk like i thought i was the coolest fucking person. obviously now that im an adult and i can fully comprehend the story and make my own personal understandings and views on the characters and story, it is a part of my childhood and im not ashamed to say i read this god forsaken hell spawn of a well made comic.

when you sympathise with everyone else's least favourite troll because you both want to be loved and make rash and often bad decisions lashing out at those you care for....
I actually think Eridan is an overrated character, it seems he is the absolute favorite for some strange reason. Is it because he's edgy? Because he's (supposedly) British? Who knows.
@@caffeinatedpossum Agreed. Also if anyone's underrated it's Equius.
@@caffeinatedpossum I know a lot of people like gamzee for being edgy
@Preslasia
I know a heck ton of people who's favorite is Karkat so I"m pretty sure its Karkat instead
@@user-xm3gp9zs5v I hate Equius because of what he did to Aradia. Also he isn't interesting even if I ignore what he did.
I know this isnt a new statement, but its easy to forget that they are kids. Actual children. And when you look at eridan especially in the light of a moody 13 year old whose also a member of an already emotionally volatile murderous species, everything he does makes sense. Its not morally right, but it makes sense
i remember singing this song in the 11th grade with my friends at lunch.. i'm 23 now and i still remember all the lyrics 😭🤚🏻
SAME LMAO I’m in college now I need to move on haha
Taking me back too the good ol days.
Y'know, Eridan was totally my favorite character in homestuck. He deserved so much more love than he got.
I fucking LOVE Eridan and I wish we got more.
Same
I like how we’re still out here loving fish boy
Flynn4TW y e s (Don’t forget my son Gamzee) :0)
Have y'all seen the pester quest! Hes such a good boi
I never had a Homestuck phase because stupid 2009 me was too lazy to make a Tumblr, but God damn better late then never? This song is absolutely beautiful and I'm gonna start reading the actual Homestuck, wish me luck on this infinite rabbit hole I'm about to embark on
good luck to you
Man, good luck bruh. Prepare yourself for the feels.
good luck!!!
yo gl
I was a 1 year old in 2009 so I have an excuse to be a homestuck in 2020
Since we're stuck at home, it only makes sense to revisit the masterpiece called homestuck
Indeed :3
Exactly
This is by far PhemieC's best fan song.
No offense, but i personally disagree, i think that Sweet was the best.
Fool is underrated but I agree
Just a heads up everyone. Phemiec has just strated uploading their songs to spotify!! They currently only have around 448 followers, so it would be awesome if you guys could go ahead and support their music there too
Their* music! They go by they/them pronouns, dear
@@chromeroticaOh yeah! my bad thx dude
@@bookworm2350 no problem, duder!!!! I'm glad you changed it :DDDD
My personal thoughts: Eridan did his bad things, but I feel like it could have ended differently if people tied to help him. Feferi could still spend some time with him and maybe ask Kanaya to auspitize him and Sollux. If Eridan moved over Feferi and stopped being racist, he and Sollux could have become friends- I mean they're both nerds who likes science. Kanaya, Karkat and even Nepeta didn't mind his presence, so maybe could spend time with him too? Also, he's a 13-YEARS OLD KID!!! 13-YEARS OLD. I personally love Eridan, cause he's pretty relatable.
Barbora Klepalová is this a book I can read? It seems cool but nothing I google makes sense 😂
@@ellelawson2200 homestuck is a webcomic. Its on website called mspaintadventures.com. I think there are some books from it, but the website includes small videos and sometimes even gameplay.

Anyone else have this song ingrained into their brain?
Yes omg when homestuck was bigger I had this song downloaded and now today with a different phone I remember all the words
dude i know this song better than i know my friends names
considering i have had it on loop since 2 days ago..... yep
Story time okay so a few days ago I was playing dnd with a few friends and I started really quietly singing this song while waiting for my turn. The guy next time, a senior, the Ultimate Jock/Prep, hears me. He listened for a while before leaning over and hissing “That better not be homestuck.” Note: I had never mentioned homestuck to him. He just. He just knew.
YES. Everytime I hear the word "pantomime" in my head I'm like, "-is getting gory"
Eridan deserves more fans. He's an amazing character, and he was just a messed up kid. I don't hold anything against him, I just feel bad for him.
Ampora is my favourite troll.
Wolfie Poppet
My favorites are Terezi, Eridan, and Tavros in that order.
"Yellows the new purple" DAMN THATS A CLEVER LYRIC
People bash Eridan for being toxic and nasty to Fef.
From where I see it, Feferi had _no appreciation whatsoever_ for the horrible job he did for her, she just either didn't or couldn't understand. She had the sense to be his moirail, out of obligation alone, but then didn't have the energy to put in the effort required, so overall it was a pathetic and ultimately failed attempt. Her expectations of the world were immature and skewed by her cushy lifestyle; she was ignorant in a way Eridan never had the luxury of being, considering he had to be out murdering lusii in order to prevent the deaths of the masses. I can only imagine being responsible for that amount of bloodshed, growing up with the knowledge that should you ever slip and allow yourself to feel bad about it, you might die and leave that responsibility to squash the one you love.
When you have to look a child in the eye as you drag away the body of their only parent, not once but on a _regular fucking basis,_ I'd say you'd develop some pretty toxic coping mechanisms. If you could convince yourself that you hated the children, that you believed they deserved the neglectful death being forced upon them, then it would probably make seeing yourself in the mirror a little easier. You'd be less tempted to just kill yourself and be done with it, certainly.
Feferi wanted a sweet, enthusiastic, _unbroken_ moirail to sit around and train cuttlefish with, someone who didn't make her feel guilty or responsible, someone who worked perfectly with what she wanted her life to be.
Eridan just needed a hug from someone who didn't think that was a chore.
THIS TAKE IS EXTREMELY HOT i love it
this! dont get me wrong im not a feferi hater (there are not many of those)cause theres no actual reason to hate feferi, she had good intentions and she was killed in such a sad way, but some things about her just irked me and theres defintly reasons to be annoyed by her or to not like her. her ignorance and naievty would make me dismiss her as a character. she was super unrealistic about a lot of things and though she cared about her friends, PERSONALLY, i feel fef was very unselfaware and idk i just cant mix with that
im aware the poor girl was only a tween tho so thats that. she did deserve better
@@jessalynsimone Yes, this. I don't hate her either, not at all- she is my patron troll after all, but the sheer thought of treating my moirail the way she treated Eridan makes me feel sorta ill.
this song reminded me of how much I like Eridan
and then the other characters
and then it's making me reread Homestuck since I can't for the life of me remember anything about it
Wait sorry this was a HOMESTUCK song all along???? I could've sworn I heard it on the radio, I must be going mad
The homestucks have arisen.
The Homestuck is now controlling your mind.
eridan is such a perfect combination of "set up for failure" and "drove the stick into his own bike spokes". i am empathetic towards him, dont get me wrong. but i think hes woobified a bit too much in the fandom. he did have a choice, he didnt have to become a vengeful incel. its like a lot of incels irl honestly. the tragedy with him is knowing hes just a kid and seeing his potential, but also adamantly refusing to get better at every opportunity. he cries to karkat about no one visiting his planet, but that was mainly because he insisted on enraging the angels, making it a dangerous place. not to mention his itchy trigger finger. and when asked why *he* didnts take the initiative and leave to be social, he used killing the angels as an excuse, completely ignoring karkat when he points out that he wasnt supposed to be doing that. he had so many chances and just kept digging. theres nothing sadder than someone who wont help themselves.
the best thing about eridan is that most of his misery is his own fault. He and Feferi never worked out because he kept her in a quadrant that he didnt reciprocate and was never honest about his real feelings for her, frustrating her to the point where she couldn't handle it anymore. He never found success in any of his romantic pursuits because he tried too hard and put everyone off with his insistence and desperation. He pushed Karkat, the nicest person on the team, and perhaps his true moirail, away because he always came to him complaining about all the mistakes he made while never bothering to learn from any of them. Eridan was the most pitiable troll in Homestuck until he finally snapped from hopelessness and frustration, and most of it was his fault. And that makes him much more relatable.
Reall
I thought Eridan was flushed for Karkat, not pale. Karkat even mentions Eridan making a "red solicitation" move onto him in one of his memos. But it could have been pale on Eridan's end. Also like, I think the reason why Eridan was hitting on everyone was because he was on the rebound with Feferi breaking up with him at the beginning of the game. It didn't seem Eridan ever hit on anyone before the game, since he talks to Karkat and Kanaya casually without hitting on them before the game.
Still, Eridan was the cause of most of his own problems. But also like, he didn't hit on *everybody*. It didn't seem like he tried flirting with Aradia, Tavros, or Gamzee. I assume because he doesn't find them attractive. He was attracted to his other friends though; particularly pitch for Sollux, ash for Kanaya, and red for Feferi, and red/pale for Karkat.
@@Palepetal eridan made a romantic solicitation on just about everyone whether it be red or black. My point is he acted more pale towards Karkat than he did with Feferi, and Karkat was seemingly cool with that until the murder stuff. There was even a time where Eridan went into one of Karkat's memos seeking some advice and Karkat was like "I got you bro we'll talk later"
I come back to this every now and then and always reel at how "And I don't mean to be hurtful but if yellow's the new purple well then bleeding's the new breathing" is such a RAW line like holy SHIT
the song that makes people actuly like Eridan
Grinns Finns I liked him before this.
Grinns Finns yeah I just like him even more now.

Sooooooo hello kiddos and good luck.
Being a homestuck in 2020 is such a surreal experience
its nearly 2022 in my timeline -- i can confirm . it's totally surreal
I was in the fandom in 2017 but left it after awhile and finally getting back into it
It's sad, because I was in preschool when Homestuck came out. My friend showed me about two years ago and now I feel like I'm the only one left that loves the fandom 😂
Zaylix Matrum im here :3
Erebus Marien Yay! :33
HI I EXIST TOO
Elisa Lucifer Sharifi YAY
Zaylix Matrum don't forget me, Homestuck is still alive with in each person who reads it it's attached to them somehow
I only read homestuck very recently, heck it was recently I even HEARD of it, and yet I SWEAR I know this song
Like I already knew the tune from somewhere but not the words?
This is weird
I know I've heard the 'but rest assured we'd all be better off dead than alive cause when they get ahold of us we'd all be better fried and I'm surprised nobody has considered switching sides ' lyric
You see, that's probably because there was a secret homestuck in your life muttering it under their breath for several years, but were too embarrassed to admit what it was from because we are all the best kind of trash.
Ive heard this tune before YEARS AGO not the lyrics tho, but thats why i like this song
am i the only one who can relate to eridan in such a private level that you cried for days because of this and still do?
I’m here🙋
Honeybunch Goddess i'm so happy i'm not alone
Ha ha holes People even told me i look like him... (ppl bullied me for this) so i stopped wearing glasses but now, i really like him and myself

swwag eridan now: i’m a prince and i live in a CAR

I can't believe this song was the thing that completely ruined my life but also made my life all the better...
why does this sound like how my depression feels, but in a good way? it makes me feel better about having depression in the first place. it's beautiful despite it's name.
I think I had a anurism after realizing this basically spoiled all of horrorstuck but used references so specific that you would have to know them already to understand them.
Kanaya: *Im about to end this man's whole career*
It seems everytime fall rolls over and winter is on its way, homestuck music finds its way back into my life. Must be instinct.
Same here-
That moment when you love Eridan because of the s*it he went through and just the fact that his genocidal tendencies were probably brought on by SOMETHING that went to shit in his life. And then you add the whole thing with Feferi. Eridan is very misunderstood and hated for the sole reason that we never got to see enough of him or know much more about him. Ues, he wanted death to all land dwellers, but maybe something happened and he snapped. I love Eridan because there's so much up to interpretation with his past and the facts we don't know. I love him because he really did LOVE Fef, and he shattered his heart and stepped on the bits left when she quit being this morial. I LOVE Eridan because when he loves you, he REALLY, TRULY LOVES you.
I’m still in this fandom.. anyone else..?

read it!!!
Read it :>
Did you end up reading it?
you canNOT expect a mentally unstable person to react to a stressful situation in a stable manner
highbloods, seadwellers, they're already naturally unstable
to be put through a lot, especially when it comes to your emotions being hurt by someone you love, can hurt someone badly
that happening to someone already unstable is GOING to completely ruin them
to hurt someone already hurt is to kill them - their view on society and anything we consider normal is already altered to the point of insanity, damaging them further is a dangerous thing that has unpredictable outcomes
we can't blame him for acting the way he did
he's a mentally/emotionally unstable child in a situation that even most adults today wouldn't be able to handle
we need to remember, in alien terms? he's literally just a child
he's a _kid_
now look at what he went through with that in mind
it's a miracle he managed to survive, the amount of things he experienced as an unstable child in a society where anyone unstable would just be overlooked instead of helped, it's just..
not a single one of us would be able to survive in a situation like that
i never had any interest in homestuck and i have zero context but every few months i will come back to this song because its bomb

I've never really liked Eridan as a character, because of showing how much he didn't care about his friends, and his salty attitude. But i think he was an important character to homestuck. Just like all of the antagonists in it. And the fan songs are good. This one is my favorite.

I know right?
Amen sounds so had damn smooth
its kinda fascinating how many people are giving this deeper meaning to Eridan's purpose, considering I believe Eridan was similar to Nepeta and Equius in that Hussie didn't give quite as much of a shit as everyone else
I think Hussie actively hates Eridan. Compared to his favoritism toward Vriska, Eridan is his shit heel
@@franciscorui
yeah it's fucking ironic considering Eridan and Vriska are barely that different, if anything Eridan has more redeeming qualities
@@motivated2473
Eridan is a tragic character whose undone by his flaws and only wanted to be loved.
Vriska was undone by her flaws but Hussie then said, "Naw, she's perfect the way she was" and gives her a reward for being so terrible.
I can’t manage to find any other songs like this one it’s kinda angry and sad but not in your face edgy or angry cause the instrumentals and vocals are quite calm and I can’t describe it, it also somehow manages to tell a story at the same time but still sound good dhivisigaphbhudsr pakbdydbje HOW CAN A HOMESTUCK FAN SONG BE THIS GOOD
