Y'all are being like "Karkat is acting like Kankri", but I'd like to point out that Karkat has been doing the paragraphs-long angry rant thing since he showed up. It's a Vantas thing!
exactly karkat has always been doing that he proves his point. like kankri he explains things in paragraphs .I think that no matter who they are in the vantas family they will explain things as such.
I only finally understood it once I got to read it xD (currently at the beginning of Act 6, been on break). However I'll never understand truly how their quadrants work x.x I can get the basics but it'll take a Karkat to be my tutor to teach me its complexities😂
I actually read the creator-placed troll in homestuck where he says "I can play that troll love shit back to back to back to back" to actually understand the concept. I'm still pretty lost, but I'm determined to master this shit.
+Sad's Channel The only qualm I have with this is that Auspisticism often has to keep a Kismestitude not from getting too hot, but from getting too... broad. They make sure it doesn't include anyone else. But as far as simple explanations go, I love this :D
+ginja ninja Okay, yeah, I don't know how I didn't see that one coming. I'd give you a disappointed thumbs up, but there's not really any way for me to express that over UA-cam's comment section.
Quadrant romance make so much more sense than "normal" romance XD I'll just be watching a movie and be like "It's a black romance, why can't quadrants be a thing" XD
Y'know how some people ship the hero with the villain? Like Sherlock and Moriarty or the Doctor and the Master (if you've seen Sherlock or Dr. Who). What holds those ships together is basically black romance.
*Basically* , you love this person and they love you too, BUT that other person's a bitch, and youre a bitch to them too. So as you hate each other for being bitch-ass jerks or whatnot, you also really wanna shove em against a wall cuz it pretty kinky to hate each other while also in love with one another. As a, kinda loose, example, its like those scenes in movies where the two start heatedly arguing with each other and they keep yelling and stuff but as they get close to each other's face they suddenly start aggressively make out Tah-da, hate romance, black romance.
+MyeandOblivion I'll make it if people pay me to, but otherwise...I mean, c'mon guys, this is the first Homestuck thing I made in months 'cause I felt like I owed it to someone! And I already slaved over a Homestuck animation for two and a half years, I feel like I get a pass if I don't feel like making anymore. @v@
Ok I guess if you don't feel like it anymore we can't force you so yea I guess I will look forward to other content on your channel also don't worry about me unsubscribing I will be always loyal even if you're going to stop with some content :)

Quadrants are pretty much the only thing that makes sense in HS. In my opinion it’s probably the most simple thing next to the Ectobiology “everyone is each other’s siblings” mess.
This was always my favorite part of reading homestuck honestly. When the Vantases would start rambling about the lore and culture for trolls and Alternia. I always thought it was the most interesting part
Ahhhh! You're animation style is so amazing, even when it's just a storyboard, the raw emotion in the expressions is so perfect! I would be so great to see some trashy davekat crap >.< I can't wait until I start animating! You're an inspiration and I love your work!
I hope Homestuck content never stops coming out. The fandom has really died out in recent years, which is unfortunate. I mean, Homestuck used to be fucking everywhere. It was a huge deal; a primary fandom in the grand hierarchy of fandoms. Now, though, it's really become a much more niche thing, kept alive by the more serious fans off in their own little corner, rather than exploding out of every conceivable orifice of the internet, dragging unsuspecting bystanders into the inescapable vortex that is Homestuck. Basically, what I'm saying is, I want Homestuck to become a big deal again, and stick around for a while. It had a few good years, but they didn't last long enough. I know kingdoms rise and fall, and no fandom stays important or relevant in the big picture for very long. Eventually, all fandoms become little pockets of diehard fans, being weird off in some obscure, isolated crevice of the internet, and generally not mattering in the eyes of the greater scheme of fandoms. But Homestuck's flame burned twice as bright, and died out way too fast. I mean, seriously, who the fuck actually makes Homestuck fan-content anymore? Video dubs almost never come out anymore, new fanart and fanfiction is getting scarcer, and generally the endless stream of material is just slowing down hard, especially on the video front. What new Homestuck videos have YOU seen in the last couple years, besides the official stuff released recently? I always just find myself watching old-ass stuff from 2012 and 2013, back when people spat out Homestuck videos left and fucking right. Nowadays, you never see new Homestuck anything, and that's not right. There's been some stuff here and there, but it's nowhere near the level of saturation it used to have. I want to cling desperately to the past, back when Homestuck was relevant and popular. Its fire should burn 3 times as brightly, and never run out of fuel, because fuck the laws of thermodynamics.
It's a bad thing that... Not only did I understand that whole thing, but I also want to read that book... Isn't it? xD Pls tell me I'm not alone here. ;~;
Ok old video but Karkat really is that one friend that acts like a professional on romance and everyone goes to them for advice, but has never actually dated anyone. He really gets all his info from romance novels lmaooo
I can't believe it took me moving out of a homestuck phase, then coming back to this scene AGAIN during quarantine, YEARS LATER- to understand what Karkat was saying, as he was saying it.
Looking back on this conversation, this sounds a lot the two having a subtle discussion about their relationship and how it they're used to different relationship dynamics. Karkat is saying something like, "Hey, we can be in a relationship, but this is what I'm used to and this is what you should expect." And Daves doesn't give a crap and just thinks, "What is the point of having a relationship if I'm not the only one? No." just a reflection. I
if i remember correctly there's a screencap that looks like a straight up reference to karkat's initial shipping chart (and the screaming face that goes along with it) in that episode with percy and pierre
I don't know what's worse, the fact that I understood Karkat perfectly well.... or the fact that I was intrigued enough to relate and agree with him xD
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY SOLD THEIR SOUL FOR ANIMATION SKILLS. .... could I please give you my soul to sell too? tell satan its the chick that sacrificed that narwhal the other day.
+Raccoon Mistress Actually Satan doesn't accept souls (or even narwhals) for animation skills. Instead he asked me for fifteen years of practice! Pretty good deal, right??
loved this! i totally understand the fatigue working on your other projects must have inspired, so thank you for putting this up anyway, it was really cool of you. :)
this is honestly one of my favorite animations ever, i love your storyboarding and case and toooooch and ahHHHH theres so much yes in one place i can hardly handle it it's like the best of the best came together and just high fived and created this single production of enchantment and beauty and it's just my favorite thing
I really like this, it's a lot more easier to follow than reading and easy to focus on. Your art is fantastic as always and the VAs did a really good job.
@@nataliem5425 in the video I thought i could hear more southern accents and patterns in his voice, I've heard or maybe saw somewhere that Dave is from Texas
the voice acting was so good! I'm glad you as an artist have expanded from homestuck but it's still a nice gift from you to upload this. I look forward for more of your work!
oh my god if this extends to Dave suplexing Karkat, one of my favorite scenes in the whole darn thing, i will love you and forgive you for anything you've ever done in your life i've subscribed in preparation
+Sarah Krishef Naw, sorry, this is it! I just finished this because I thought the VAs deserved to see something for their efforts. But this is all they recorded anyway!
A long time ago my friend and I were quite pale for each other. Often saying "pale for you " and making the diamond symbol with our fingers. We used the quadrant system as a way to communicate our feelings towards each other and people. Saying we were black for someone was easier than trying to explain why we want to punch and kiss a person at the same time. ♦️♥️♣️♠️
Y'all are being like "Karkat is acting like Kankri", but I'd like to point out that Karkat has been doing the paragraphs-long angry rant thing since he showed up. It's a Vantas thing!
PREACH
SOMEONE PAYS ATTENTION.
IT'S REALLY NOT JUST
"FUCKASS
fUCK
FUCKASS"
LIKE READ THE FUCKING MEMOS IN ACT 5
Especially when it comes to romance. Karkat _is_ after all the so-called "expert" in quadrants. :P
exactly karkat has always been doing that he proves his point. like kankri he explains things in paragraphs .I think that no matter who they are in the vantas family they will explain things as such.
I was waiting for them to break out into song before I realized the script was from canon
TBH we all need Karkats voice
XD
Karkat is me trying to explain Homestuck to my friends.
yes, now my friends think it all comes down to only signs, and nothing more. I gave up.
same, especially my one friend who heard the meaning of kissmesitude and was just like "nope"
I only finally understood it once I got to read it xD (currently at the beginning of Act 6, been on break). However I'll never understand truly how their quadrants work x.x
I can get the basics but it'll take a Karkat to be my tutor to teach me its complexities😂
I actually read the creator-placed troll in homestuck where he says "I can play that troll love shit back to back to back to back" to actually understand the concept.
I'm still pretty lost, but I'm determined to master this shit.

lol same
ahahah
Quadrant romance make so much more sense than "normal" romance XD
I'll just be watching a movie and be like
"It's a black romance, why can't quadrants be a thing" XD
Thanks to Quadrants I finally understand my feeling.
I am pale for everyone, with one black crush.
i never completely understood black romance
Y'know how some people ship the hero with the villain? Like Sherlock and Moriarty or the Doctor and the Master (if you've seen Sherlock or Dr. Who). What holds those ships together is basically black romance.
I know Right!
*Basically* , you love this person and they love you too, BUT that other person's a bitch, and youre a bitch to them too. So as you hate each other for being bitch-ass jerks or whatnot, you also really wanna shove em against a wall cuz it pretty kinky to hate each other while also in love with one another.

It's the kankri of romance!
Or maybe Kankri is the Karkat of bad social justice!
That too. I guess ranting about things no one really cares about or listens to runs in the family...?

Ah, yes, that beautiful word. All you can think about is housetrapped.
You are so glad the English language has a word for this feeling.
