For anyone not aware, this animator is the one that did Homestuck's final animation, which came out today.
oh wow jeez wow
+Aewin for anyone not aware... the animation was legendary but it was a super crapy ending
+Kitty Nova In my opinion, I feel like it left way too many arcs unfinished and left us unanswered questions.Maybe the epilogue will make up for it, but I definitely felt a sense of disappointment upon finishing the Act 7 video. The animation was gorgeous, of course, but I felt the story itself was lacking. I was expecting at least a little bit of dialogue, or some sort of visual explanation instead of the "open ending" we got. :(
+Kitty Nova I expected better. Yes, I understood what happened in the flash, but many arcs went by unresolved and it just didn't feel like an actual conclusion. Just an inconclusive "The End". From some series, I'd be okay with that but Homestuck is so big and special to so many people that you'd expect something more satisfying. Now, I can see you're happy with the ending so I won't go into detail about what I disliked. I just know many fans including me were let down. It's just an opinion though, and if you felt the ending was good you're entitled to feel that way!
+Kitty Nova I read somewhere that the reason HS ended so abruptly was because...the only way for the winners of the game to beat an indestructible villain is to leave the story, and keep him trapped in it forever. All they had to do was end the story to beat him. And I'm happy with that speculation, tbh n.n
That moment when you're years late to the fandom and you can't imagine the pain of waiting for the FINAL update after such a long, wonderful adventure.
i feel you dude
Yep
We're still waiting for more of it, but it's coming now. :D
nvm i guess we´re on this path AGAAINNNNN
Y O U C A N N E V E R E S C A P E
This song feels like you’re remembering your past with all of your friends and a home that you can never go back to.
Sadly thats what it was for everyone in homestuck.
Finally Someone described how this makes everyone feel
Welp, right in fucking feels...
You're right, and that's exactly why I keep coming back here.
And I am stuck in a timeline that I can never escape, were everything turned out in the worst way possible.
Hope you all are having a better experience in this simulation.
I think about this animation sometimes and when I do I always end up rewatching it for a while just to try and get some of that nostalgia out of my system.
It never works for long, since the amount of nostalgia this whole fandom holds is immense, but it works for long enough.
Aw fuck you're making me cry
no because coming from a person whos been in that experience thats what it exactly feels like, all of it, the good and the bad
It's crazy how, no matter how many times I come back to this, it still manages to get all my memories and feelings about this whole webcomic back to the front of my brain. Happy 413 yall.
Yoooo how is this a year ago???
Yea
My whole 13 year old life was about homestuck, so nostalgic agh
right😭😭😭😭😭
This.
Back again for the 10th anniversary of Homestuck. What a lovely, crazy ride you've been.
welcome home
I see others came back to this after watching both routes. What a ride it has been indeed. (Btw who IS the wizard Kronus mentioned numerous times? After seeing the intermission game I was confused after replaying it because I haven't seen any mention of this in the comic yet.... couldnt be the muse though.)
@Sofia Jacinto lord english doesnt have a wand strife specibi card. and he isnt a wizard class. hes a master class.
Sofia Jacinto yes however after a bit of research you MIGHT be right as not only in S - Caliborn: Enter was LE seen destroying a bubble with a wand and laser breath but apparently there is a god tier badge that lets you ascend beyond strife specibi, letting you have free jokerkind specibi.
what is this? It looks really good. Where can I watch it/read it?
Incredible that the person who made this ended up animating the ending of homestuck
wow really 0_0
I'm thankful for it too, i can't think of a better fitting animator!
Ooh yeah they also animated the ending of Homestuck too
I'm not crying you're crying

Don't worry dude, if you wanna cry, we can cry together

+Kai :T We all are crying ;~;
totally
I just realized all of the instruments are metal "A lullaby for gods" is likely referring to the lovecraftian myth that all the lesser gods had to play tin instruments to keep azathoth the blind idiot god from destroying reality itself by keeping him in a state of perpetual slumber
wow thats cool
Sometimes I feel like the sleepy blind idiot god

Is it just me or did anyone else feel really sad watching this

Read the comments (Oh how I love to be mean)

nope I thought it was CUTE
Me ;-;
I don't know how many times I've watched this since I first found it, but it has to be about 50+ times. There's something about unfinished/rough/sketchy animation that just mystifies me. You're also really great at drawing fluid movements, and honestly this is one of the videos that I always come back to when I lose motivation for my own animation.
who legit cried at this?

It's 2020 my fellow homestucks gotta ask, are you guys dead yet or are we still kicking because of pesterquest?
homestuck 2 is keeping me alive
Still alive
Not dead yet
NOT DEAD YET
ayeee
I'm an OG homestucker. I started following regular updates in 2011, I was a hard-core fan and went to 2012 NYCCC as Nepeta 😂 I remeber when this animation came out. id just watch it over and over again. I ended up with an abuser in HS that hated most of the things I spent my time doing. So I adapted to his interests and lost the love for Homestuck. I left him a few years ago and have been having trouble dealing with things that hes done to me along with repressed childhood memorys coming clear. im 21 now n so recently I decided to reread homestuck to in a way relive one of the best parts of my childhood, and now sharing it with my new partner. I didn't really think people still knew about Homestuck nor did I even know a second came out! I get such a great nostalgia from watching the lyricstucks and meps even just reading it all again makes me cry like the first time I read it. I really do love this comic and I love that the cracked out fandom is still growing 🥲
Please don't dye yourselves with sharpies
please
and if you read this whole thing, thank you for the listen im healing and learning to love the world again 🖤
I'm so sorry about what you had to go through on those years, but i'm glad you're better now and that now you can share your interests without being judged:)♡
reading your comment like it was written by me. I had the same feelings and being the same age surprised me, if only I could be in a social group that know about homestuck, but fortunatley I convinced a close friend to follow this webcomic in 2013, and now Homestuck evocates me that time when I discovered new songs via meps and random stuff. Thanks for writting this!
2011 reader as well. Went to a major anime convention as rule 63 terezi and had a blast. This always reminds me of the great times I had in college with my life long friends
Ah, I sure am sad that I missed out on Homestuck during it's heyday, yet the fandom is still alive
As a person who joined the fandom just recently (2021), Homestuck had a very nostalgic air about it. Something about the early 10s internet makes me feel so much, I feel like missed out on a lot of stuff
That being said, I'm aware the Homestuck fandom today is still alive, and in the future I would miss late-10s fandom culture greatly
The dislikes are there because they tried to like the video and missed due to tears obscuring their vision.
Or they didn't like the video, or don't like Homestuck as a whole.
CreatureCanyon the only explanation that makes sense
Yes, because everyone ever loves Homestuck.
CreatureCanyon I believe that is correct :')
That is the only explanation possible.
This and mambostuck are some of the greatest creations in this fandom

@@hopper8514 of course of course
And after us!
After us always make me cry. Seeing how they were and who they are now is incredible and moving.
it is 4/13 2021. Homestuck is now 12 years old. In those 12 years, we have built a community of good and bad, beautiful and dark, and kind and cruel people. It hasn't been easy for some people. There were always those that came to cause harm, but the true members of the Homestuck community made it into something great. We built each other up. We made new friends, lovers, enemies, and so much more over the last 12 years. Some people met their best friends they otherwise wouldn't have known without Homestuck. Some met their partners. Some took up a passion for drawing, for writing, for sewing, for painting. All because of one community where we felt truly at home. Its been a good 12 years we watched each other grow up. Next year, homestuck will be 13, finally be given a name, and the world is going to end. Man, are we screwed.
fuck yeah
well put my friend, well put
also 2 months till d day dear god 💀
Что ж, являясь жителем Украины, я чувствую, что 13 апреля будет длинным днём.(I have a feeling, that 4/13 of 2022 gonna be a long day).
I LOVE HOMESTUCK!!
This is my sixth 4/13.
Every year I watch this video exactly once on this day, and every year it has more and more significance to me.
As I experience more in this fandom, making new friends and reminiscing with old ones, I have never forgotten where I came from, and how long it's been around.
It's a part of me I am unlikely and unwilling to forget.
This video is one of the few things that can genuinely move me, because it reminds me of everything I've been through since I started reading in 2012.
May that it never loses its magic, and i hope you all live wonderful lives.
See you next year.
4/13 is coming soon. I myself only started reading in february but I do not plan on giving up. I was very well imformed by my friend that I will die inside but I am willing to take the risk. I just can't help but to fall into this fandom and get stuck and, hopefully, never come out. Happy 4/13 my friend. When I finish reading, I will see you on the other side.

your realy good at this, you should be a poet.
So, I watched this when I started Homestuck. I was generally confused, other than saying "Oh, look! There's John! And Dave!" But as I keep going in the series, I keep returning, and I keep understanding this more and more.

The only charachters I recognised was John cuz I've barley started and Vriska cuz of megalovania (I love Vriska soooo much)

This is surprisingly accurate, and it was made far before the final(?) update.
Kudos.
Well, Hussie does take inspiration from fan works.
Idk if this is true or not but I heard that this was made by the same person who did Act 7 so that would explain why it's so accurate if it's true.

How the fuck did this tiny video just recap a story that took me upwards of several months just to get through XD
What's funny to me is that I never heard about this video until I knew almost every character already (exception being lord English)
It took me 3 weeks to get through homestuck, I love it so much ; - ;

morgan morgan Probably because the dead of dad And mom remembered your mom And dad.
That is a major mood
Becouse it's glorious?
If you are crying, and I am crying, then who's piloting the meteor??!!
whenever youtube puts this video in front of me i always watch it. one of my absolute all time favorite homestuck videos
This makes me realize how important the music is in homestuck... Try watching this without the music. Then just listen to the music. Which did you like more?
I watched this a few months after watching the Credits. I wasn't prepared for these emotions. Just, look at it. Look at how far they've gone, how much they've grown, and what they survived. It's too much to not make a homestuck cry. Really, I can't put my emotions into words right now. Though it was 8 years ago a glorious webcomic started, the time has come to sadly see them finish the game, and have to let go of the Narrative. My only hope for the fandom is that it stays as glorious as what it was based around, and keeps existing for many, many sweeps. Homestuck has certainly left it's mark in history, even if it's not truly over yet. I'd type out more words, but. There are no other words to describe this story. Nor the fandom. It's too great. And, frankly...That's all there is to say on the matter.

Its 4/13, Homestuck's 11th anniversary and also my first 413 to be honest
I kinda regret ignoring the comic for so long bc despite its flaws i had a blast reading it and it amazes me how quickly it managed to steal a small part of my heart. I can already tell its characters and story will become something that i'll treasure deeply in the future
Idk why im commenting this here, i guess it just felt appropiate. Thank you for such a beautiful animation and happy 413 y'all
yeah, me too, i couldnt finish reading the comic like for 3 years, and now im done reading it, i really regret not reading it. its the best web comic on the internet, yea and happy late 4/13 xD
i also regret never reading it for so long, to the point that i wish i could go back in time and make myself read it. even though i would probably be like 6-8 years old, i wouldnt regret it. but i regret it now. happy late 4/13
I feel this. I'm coming back to the fandom after 4 or 5 years, and so much has smacked me in the feels.
ye i was 12 in 2010 so it wouldve been a good time to be into homestuck but i decided to read it in 2017 for some reason
There were days it updated 4-5 times a day, and times it updated once a day or week. Pauses for a month or more, megapauses for half a year, gigapause for a year. It helped us love it more, the waiting, and never being let down.
There are actual tears rolling down my cheeks
Yatty Chan not lying but the same thing happen. So well animated!!
I hereby decree. That when homestuck becomes an anime that this shall be the opening!

Really similar position. 20 in November. Such a weird sadness :(
I officially finished homestuck.
I have done it. I have finished Homestuck. Everything, every page that I read, every confusing and mesmerizing act, every action, every word, every whisper, every laugh, every cry. It has finally subsided. It did. I have cried, I have set my life on it. It took a bigger role in my life than I was ever expecting. I feel empty, sick, happy, and at peace. All of the 5 months came to this moment. Sunday, March 5, 2023, at 8:16, at my grandparent's house I finished reading the story that kept me alive. I have finished reading the 8130-long webcomic on the internet, I have finished reading everything. People were annoyed at my obsession, and, partly, I was also disappointed in myself because of it. Everything I did and said and watched has led me to this very same moment. This feeling resides in my soul, scared, and frightened of what my life will become. When Homestuck ended, a part of me did. A part of me wished I ended right there. I was made from it, shaped by every single struggle that the characters undertook. Everything happened. Everything happened, everything happened and it all has. Everything. I did it. I have read everything. And it was so sad and fast. Every single moment of dialogue led me to this moment, every arc and character and I can't help but feel empty. Confused. Empty, empty, empty. Was it worth it, in the end? Was everything worth it? Everything led me to this moment and it's overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. I don't know where I am, or what happened. I don't know if I will ever find something that keeps me like this, or if I will ever find a way to release this horrible empty, and proud pain I feel residing in the bottom of my soul. 6 months of everything, of everything at the same time. I wish Ozzie would have never talked about it, it has led me to wish I took a different path. How, how can something so beautiful, so amazing and life-changing, end like that? End so fast and quickly, like those 6 months sat on top of my palms only to be disintegrated by the scorching heat. Everything led me to this moment and this end, everything and everyone and my life. It all was my life. I felt done, and I don't know how to express this. 18 and 8 minutes are not what's left of my horrid life and salty tears. My brain feels like an orchestra playing the violin, trying to understand what it's rumoring to me. I feel weak. I feel scared. I feel like I'm never going to be able to express this feeling, and it hurts me. It beautifully hurts me.
I hope you’ve been able to move on and recover in the last few months since you’ve posted this! Everything you felt, I felt too. Everything you felt, I think we all felt. I started homestuck at 10 years old and only finished it at 19. I am 22 now and I still feel that empty sometimes; like how could something so beautiful end so turbulently and messy? Like a long and winding masterpiece that ended with notes played on a tinny and broken toy piano. Hussie failed us on that front. But at least we got to experience the world he left for us and share in its beauty. I feel you and I want you to know that you will heal. It will become a fond memory of a time you wish you could return to. All the love 🫶
@@jennarations001 Thabk you so much, this means a lot to me. I’m still pretty obsessed with Homestuck, but I’ve learnt to appreciate the ending
I can cry now, right?
_Please?_
SailorIsRandom of course, join the group xD
SailorIsRandom i cried for some reason im confused
You're new here, aren't you?
SailorIsRandom ?
this is utterly fucking beautiful. it makes me want to make my own animation, or contribute in any way equally as amazing to the fandom. all i can actually do is start a story that's really stupid and then lose motivation halfway through. i have the perfect tool to write with, too, but i can't use it to it's full potential worth shit, haha. it would be really cool if i could find someone to pair up with to make an animation if they can't find any ideas to work with. my dad thinks it's because i was diagnosed with very low-key Autism at age 4 and i'm able to socially function to an extent, but have batshit crazy insane ideas as a drawback.
tfw has the opposite issue, can animate but no original ideas
I *might* be able to help.
I often wonder... "what if?" in the Homestuck fandom. "what if you prototyped one of the rings?" "what if someone with multi-personality disorder hit god tier?" "what if you prototyped your dream self, a Green Sun and another kernel with your first guardian in it?" "what if you alchemized with your quest beds?"
I sorta rambled on and forgot my point.
I ask strange ideas for AU's like...
what would happen if the kids got some aspect of the trolls one god tier hit. like John getting 8x vision, dave gaining phyonic powers, rose becoming a vampire like kanaya, and Jade being uneffected because of her exposer to bec's weird first guardian energy?
what if all the trolls survived their session?
what is the trolls never came in at all?
what if the dancestors came back to life?
what if feferi, kanaya, equius, eridan and nepeta reached god tier before dying?
what if the world created in act7 was UNDERTALEs universe? what if another session started in the UTverse with Frisk, chara, asriel, and MK? what is the betas tried to help them?
where our Roman and Greek gods the god tiers of previous sessions?
what if when you died in sburbs your next version of yourself was the opposite alien race? kids becoming trolls and visa versa?
see???
or my favorite: what would happen if the condeseces attack of earth failed miserably?
the answer is probably offshoot doomed timelines.
"How to describe Homestuck in no words or less"
Watching this for the first time in years. Brings such a genuine smile to my face. Thank you.

Reading Homestuck was one of the biggest heartfelt moments I've ever had.
This webcomic just... I don't know, made me connect with other people around the world.
It's funny how the fandom is so big but I'm seriously the only person in my town that knows Homestuck lmao.
But... Im proud I've read it, I'm glad to know that the family is still striving on
Cant kill something this big. Someone will find it and continue the cycle
happy 4/13/22 !! in two days :)
I've watched this a billion times and I just now noticed that Jade slaps John after she takes his hand
This pooped up in my recommendations and I clicked it IMMEDIATELY. I watched this countless times, and I showed every friend and played it at a bunch of Honestuck meetups. It's still so good, in just shocked it only got 15K views?? Years later and this is still a masterpiece. I hope you're doing great things 💪
Everyone: Karkat! Terezi! Vriska! Kanaya! Eridan! etc.
Me: he's dead, she's dead, he's dead, she's dead, She's dead D:
I'm Permanently Fangirling Oh! He's back, she didn't die actually, she got brought back, her death means she's doing afterlife stuff, he's actually alive as a[SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER]
I was just listing off random trolls, I didn't really think about it. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
I'm Permanently Fangirling That's ok, I was just picking random vague "he's bask, she's back" bits. I was just trying to make a point that in Homestuck, death isn't as permanent or hobbling to a characters actions as normal death is. Maybe double death is thought.
Sorry if it seemed like I was narking at you.
It's fine! i understand homestuck deaths, and that's what makes homestuck so good.
I'm Permanently Fangirling thank you for the spoiler
well, today's homestuck's ten-year anniversary.
it's been a wild ride, guys. and im so happy to have been on it, and to be here today with all of you.
thank you.
I watched this video before I read Homestuck. Before, it was just a load of meaningless scribbles and it didn't really make sense at all, even if they were beautiful.
Watching it now, it just beings back so many emoticons and it's truly amazing. It's nice to know I can finally appreciate this work in it's full form.
I remember being obsessed with this song in 6th grade. I’m going into 11th now. I still love Homestuck as much as I used to.
In loving memory of Homestuck, a webcomic too crazy and exciting to let go of. We'll miss you!

+Tyler Hebel isnt there still an epilogue tho?
AnonIsland5 ha! yah that XD when will that come out, years from now??
Good webcomics don't die they just go God tier

((This is still beautiful and sad no matter how many times I've seen it))
And you have vision twofold :D
Ikr
11 years later i still get teary eyed. we can never go back.
same
listen. its been 5 years. this still makes me cry.
slight ( major ) spoilers:
*watches video* ah yes! she's dead, he's dead, her too, oh and those three, he's dead too, yeah her too...
All of them are dead ;v;
CyberSpam He never said who all is dead. Though he was close their are only a handful of players left.
CyberSpam sorry ^^; edited it now X(
lightwastaken >:c
*More spoilers!*
I think there's like five living protagonists or something?
Thomas G 4 and someone is bleeding out so 3 soon.
I would really like someone who doesn't know what Homestuck is or hasn't seen it to try to explain what they think is going on.
oh well. good try.
I only knew the name of one of the characters... I think it's about some adolescents who are somehow connected to some weird symbols and world, i thought it were the constellations. And they have badass horns or something and are friends and happy blahblah. Then some motherfuvking weird creatures showed up and i dunno whether they fought them with avatar powers or something because i really couldn't get the hang of it. And suddenly someome murdered someone, or his parents because he's a psycho demon. And suddenly blood and death and suddenly everybody was happy amd shit like they used some cocaïn. And then they were like "let's lay on that hill" everybody was like "ok" and they were a demonic friend club. And satan showed up somewhere in the end i don't remember but it looked like they were fucked up. And why did that chick became bigger then the earth... (sorry for my grammar) i really don't know what's going on, it looked like a demonic version of adventure time to me.....
emmathedragon Nice interpretation! But nope! It's a LOT more complex. XD
Good try though, your explanation sounded really interesting. ^-^
Link Saviour my explanation on a...what is this a show on tv? I dont know...anyways my thoughts on what the show is about is
SHIT
GOES
DOWN
emmathedragon Accurate.
Hahahhhahha...haha....ha- *burts into tears*
I joined this fandom so damn fucking late.... ;w; but the feels... they just- *sigh*
Me too...me too...
As did I. It makes me sad, and hate myself a little, but whatever.
Looking at the bright side though, Homestuck is a warmup for something else, and when said thing starts, I can guarantee I'll be one of the first fans.
Still makes me sad though. •~•
I mean...Honestuck started in 2009, so I would've been 7 years 4 months and 4 days old. There is no way my tiny little brain could process this. I was focused on playing outside, playing video games, creating scenarios with my doll and school.
DemonMinxOfGeekness i would be eight, so same xD
+* SnowflakeBottles * I was also 8.
Homestuck is 13 today. This still gives me nostalgia.
Oh Oh I get it. A lullaby because all of them ''go to sleep''. Sleep being a fucking metaphor for getting murdered multiple times.
This is an awesome video~ The animation is really nice and the song sounds amazing!!! XD
I just finished watching this!!! I LOVE MY FANDOM MORE NOW!!~))
Ikr~
I remember watching this in 2020 when I first started getting into Homestuck. I remember feeling so alone and tired. This animation brings back a sad sort of nostalgia. Yet it also feels hopeful. I think it’s beautiful
Same !!
If I'm going through a rough patch i like to come back to these old homestuck videos. It truly was a simpler time...
ikr ?? especially all those compilation videos of Homestuck gifs ! it rlly does make me so nostalgic for a much, much simpler and better time in my life,,,, :((
And so ends a webcomic that to many is a masterpiece that few others will surpass, and to even more hot garbage in a sewage treatment plant. I count myself lucky to be among the ranks of the former; and though I joined the fandom two years after its inception, I am just as much a lover of the comic as the readers who were there from the start. Every once in awhile, I rewatch this animation. Every time, my eyes get misty.
Truth be told, I wouldn't have complained if the webcomic continued forever. Though you have to admit that it was getting pretty convoluted at this point. I can't speak for others, but I know I frequented the wiki for refreshers on the plot. For all its flaws, Homestuck is still going down in my book.
tl:dr - What, are you kidding me? Come on, it's only like 2 paragraphs.
I just want an ending for Homestuck like that. Where all the trolls, the alpha kids, and beta kids just all live in a world of peace, nothing can harm them
There are good animations, horrible animations, ironically horrible animations, and great animations.
This fits into the latter category.
i think to this day this is still my favorite piece of homestuck fan work
This is why Homestuck has to become an anime or other animation project.
Totally agree so much awesome to work with
***** yeah that makes sense
I honestly disagree. I like Homestuck as it is, and I think it being an interactive webcomic is a big part of it's charm. Also, from my experience of reading comics/manga and watching them get adapted into Anime series, I can easily say it wouldn't be a good idea for Homestuck. There is always something the production companies want to change, and it's usually always big things that will cut the story in half so they don't have to spend as much on production. Not to say that hussie would ever sell out. Oh god I hope not. Personally, I love Homestuck, but I think it would be a horrible Anime.
新入生愚かしい
True, but this was just a fun little idea i had in mind. It wasn't serious,hahah.

Show link to information plz :o
please tell me someone has saved every page of homestuck so years later when hussie closes the site we can all still read it
If Hussie closes homestuck then everything in the world would be unbalanced
+Dj_Does_Gaming No. EVERYTHING IN PARADOX SPACE WOULD BREAK APART!
+milo goodfellow It can always be archived.
yeah but again i am talking when someone takes down mspaint adventures
milo goodfellow Well, even when mspa is taken down, web archives will still be up. So...
I came back after a year and I still find this extraordinary.
I came back after 8 years and I still find this extraordinary.
Came back for one, final visit. It has been one hell of a ride Everyone. With the end of the Decade, and many of our childhoods(young homestucks, anyone?) I say we end it like we began. Give it one last read. One last listen.
One last ride.
May the next generation treat you well Homestuck. And may you help them as you have helped many of us.
