This song is a really good reminder that the animations in homestuck are most affected by the song. The pacing, important points, highs and lows, are all already set in stone. Hussie is essentially just doing a songstuck without lyrics, and i dont think he's ever commissioned a song for an animation.
actually, he has. cascade was put together with an animation already in mind and as a result the songs were adjusted to suit it, and he even asked toby to do a remix of black rose/green sun just to make the final scene
It's interesting because the early comic reflects this in terms of user commands. By the time that Homestuck rolled around, the site was generating enough user input that Hussie could pick and choose from the user-generated commands that he could basically drive the story any way he wanted with them. There is so much Homestuck music that Hussie had a pre-supplied library ready to match whatever story beats he had in mind. Leitmotifs narrow this down somewhat, but still: if he needed something about John (like the A6A6I4 LOWAS-cleansing flash), then there're tonssss of remixes he could use.
i've started reading homestuck around 2 weeks ago and i've just finished act 5. I've been looking up fan-pages and fanart of homestuck and i feel really sad how i missed most of the fandom and stuff. i wish i'd joined the fandom earlier. now it feels like the fandom has died down :c
Yeah, me too kinda. I started some months ago and finished it in time for the ending, but I only know it because of Undertale, so I missed it in its "glory days".
Same--I actually started it around a year ago, thought the beginning was boring, and stopped. Thankfully, my brother joined a voiceacting group for Hetalia and Homestuck and I got back into it around when Undertale was coming out. Sucks though. Everyone outside of the fandom seems to have a negative outlook on it.
Fandom was mostly cancer, you're lucky to have missed it. Best thing you're missing is getting to speculate aimlessly for ~8 months while waiting for an update during insane hiatuses.
room Honestly I hated everything between the introduction of the alpha kids and the retcon bullshit, even if the retcon bullshit was pretty lame in its own right. Felt it was a steady descent starting with [s] cascade to get to that point too. But I suspect that was Hussie's intention all along, since the tone of that part of the story is markedly different from the rest, and the retcon is basically "jk, that's a 'what would happen if i killed off vriska like all these whiney shits keep telling me to' scenario." It is a pretty bad deus ex machina though. But nah, getting involved with fandoms in general isn't great and homestuck's is usually pretty cringey even now.
room I mean, only a handful really were one-dimensional at that point anyway and of those most remained so.Pretty much just the alpha kids got developed around that point and I still disliked all of them besides Roxy. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I have a weird interest in the goldbloods. Maybe it's their connection to my favorite aspect, doom, or the fact that they are really low on the hemospectrum, even though they have immense psychic power. But it's probably just because i love the duality theme
Well, the idea behind the hemospectrum is that the lower you are, the shorter you live, but you also get cool psychic powers. Edit: As soon as I posted this I remembered that Vriska existed so uh... lucky br8k for the blue bloods?
@@ninja3212 Yeah, Vriska is something of an anomaly. Normally the lowbloods are Psychically gifted while highbloods are Physically powerful. The Serket line having their weird empathy-telepathy-mind control powers is just the exception that proves the rule, I guess.
Remind me again how the highbloods held authority for so long? Like, what's durability gonna do against a bunch of psionic goldbloods that can fly, shoot laser beams, etc? Let's not forget a random goldblood took down a drone singlehandedly, and Pesterquest!Sollux brought an entire shopping mall down on a seadweller and wasn't even really intent on killing him. About the only thing I image could keep psychic lowbloods in check is Her Imperial Condescension herself, who doesn't exactly have immediate access to Alternia.
@@frostyelkk Last I checked the vast glub wipes out the entirety of the troll race starting from the bottom of the hemospectrum. Even the highbloods themselves would eventually die, so I don't think the threat of Gl'bgolyb was used to hold authority (especially given Feferi's stance against culling).
I love Homestuck music I usually play it while I do school work. When I do school work I don't like music with lyrics but I don't want classical music. I think this is a good middle ground
I love this song, I can't listen to the start and read because my eyes start going side to side with the music. So I just close my eyes and wait for the rad glitchy drop and to be honest, it's like peace. I love it.
I was lucky i started to read Homestuck when the story was still around act 5... Fuck, so many good memories of when the Fandom took over the internet.
Oh my god i am so sorry i have to do this. I know the lines are suppose to be collars, but i imagine them as arms. The angry face (Red one) Is "y u no live signless" and the blue side is "tfw no gf". again, im so sorry.
I just realized something: Rose was the only one of us who didn't follow her personal quest. In fact, she literally decided to _break the game._ rather than complete the "find Cetus and free the fish" objective like the rest of us. I cleared the oil and found Typheus, Dave lit the forge and found Hephaestus, and Jade created the new universe and found Echidna.
Psi0nic's eyes are switched. I kn0w because Psi0nic's red eye is 0n the same side as my red eye, and his blue eye is 0n the same side as my blue eye. I have different c0l0red eyes, my left is a red-ish br0wn, and my right is a light teal-blue. They're really embarassing... I've been called 0ut in the middle 0f class at sch00l... hehe... and t0 think s0me pe0ple are jeal0us 0f my eyes...

+K. Flynn This song is a bad example, given all the glitching out the flash did. He essentially left out most of the song.
actually, he has. cascade was put together with an animation already in mind and as a result the songs were adjusted to suit it, and he even asked toby to do a remix of black rose/green sun just to make the final scene
I may say that it's WAY more of a readstuck ^^'

man I sure do love songs with glitchy sound effects

There's something both sad and sweet about the psiioniic. I can't seem to place either.
AGREED. WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREED
When one of your earphones breaks and you can't listen to the song's full glory ;-;
It's even worse when one side 3/4ths dies so instead of complete one side you have this weird off-balance sound.
(Also, nice GV avatar.)
Hhhhh I am sorry for your pain.
(oh thanks)
oh shit dude it still sounds rad tho doesnt it
(gv avatar spotted.)
You poor creature
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof bruv

bro i wish i could delete this song from my head so i can experience it again for the first time.
god this is so good. the homestuck ost is a work of art in and of itself
i let my friend from school listen to this and she doesnt know what Homestuck is but she LOVED IT.
this my jam. its also really sad tho a he is enslaved when piloting the ship.
Icefox42 he was technically a slave before he met the signless too
dude this is my favorite song ever just like EVER
I love this song, I can't listen to the start and read because my eyes start going side to side with the music. So I just close my eyes and wait for the rad glitchy drop and to be honest, it's like peace. I love it.
That one dislike was the Condesce.
t o s o o n
Sounds like dreams, once within sight, now forever out of reach
ive been listening to this song for about 6 years now, it still never gets old
read homestuck in quarantine check!
the 1 dislike is prob from the condesce
***** oh?
Timeworm Chokehold it could be the subjuggulator
"teach you to glubbin die on me ya son of a beach"
Well she likes a little too much methinks
the psiioniic is probably the one unhappy with the situation
Homestuck is great tbh
21 gold pilots
why do you do this
get out XD
another t.o.p fan who also loves homestuck? impossible
@@thirst_man oh it is indeed possible. also it would be 22 pilots. cause. yknow. duality
what no thats way too many why would you need that many pilots
I was lucky i started to read Homestuck when the story was still around act 5...
Fuck, so many good memories of when the Fandom took over the internet.
i love it how theres no dislikes on this
rest in peace
there is 1 hater
two
god damnit
+Silly Narra Nope, it's only one
That's why I never comment about absence of dislikes.
A shame the flash this was in got cut short, but I guess the Psiioniic is used to having good things taken from him...
why do i get this feeling of pony island
I kinda do in the first 50 seconds
I feel sad but happy at the same time with this :)
Oh my god i am so sorry i have to do this.
I know the lines are suppose to be collars, but i imagine them as arms. The angry face (Red one) Is "y u no live signless" and the blue side is "tfw no gf".
again, im so sorry.
Holy shit luminant commented on my comment
+derm hams! Oh my god it isnt happening anymore, the curse has been lifted
+derm hams! i cannot unsee this
Thats the point.
;-;
This would make for some epic battle music
i wish we could open our blinds but noooooooo they just had to be stuck
Pansexual Pie they had to be homeSTUCK
HAHAHAHA ok no that wasn't funny
that was a good one.
why do i feel like ive heard this somewhere before i read homestuck
1 person doesnt like this song...
must be a eridan
i think it IS him
not sure if i like the GUY or the SONG or if i only like the guy BECAUSE of the song
I love this song so much
Everyone said it was the condesce who disliked this, but maybe it was the psiioniic........
that makes so much sense
Ohh makes sense-
From 3 timelines probably because well 2 lmao
condy , psii, and 4 spare accounts that are all also condy (it went up to 6)
I guess that 1 dislike Is The Condesce
t o s o o n
From 6 different timelines now .-.
this is so good
glory days to listening to this while playing animal jam
This song will always slaps tho
i was listening to this while moon gazing (aka looking at the moon)
its so feelish
try it
for some reason the start reminds me of the songs in Legend Of Zelda: Spirt Tracks *the best one* i feel so nostalgic :3
Pilot Lights
iit2 4 iin the m0rniing iim c02playiing 20llux and iim lii2teniing tw0 thii2
N0 regret2.
still gold tho
well, yeah, he is. gold pilot, still golding
Anyone know what genre music this is?
homestep :D
how about EDMstuck
It's genre is soundtrack
badass
@@rookwood12 ah yes, because everything from Super Mario Bros Athletic Theme to At Doom's Gate is all the same genre
didn't you already do an extended version of this?
+Gavinom Pegasus I did Gold Mage before.
luminantAegis ohh alright thanks
***** yeah, that's the one XD
either dat one dislike is from the condense
or some homestuck hater
the condesce disliked this
WHY ONE DISLIKE?
I just realized something:
Rose was the only one of us who didn't follow her personal quest.
In fact, she literally decided to _break the game._ rather than complete the "find Cetus and free the fish" objective like the rest of us.
I cleared the oil and found Typheus, Dave lit the forge and found Hephaestus, and Jade created the new universe and found Echidna.
you were the fish
she freed you
