Second song in Volume Five of Homestuck. From this page: www.mspaintadve... Support the musicians! Buy the album here: homestuck.bandc... By Andrew Huo and Toby "Radiation" Fox
WV is so underrated. the carapacians are underrated. they deserve a bit more recognition. i mean, WV almost won the beta-kids session by causing a revolte against the black king.
Karkat Vantas they do have personality. WV wants democracy, instead of kings, since the war between the white and the black king destroyed his home. he started a protest movement against his own king, to stop the unnecessary killing between dersites and prospitians, since both kinds of carapacian-soldiers joined WV. he could've won sburb before any of the beta kids joined sburb. but the jack noir happend. after Jack killed most of the rebelling armies, to demonstrate his power, after they tried to kill him, i order to stop the black king, WV ran away. it was rather traumatic for him. after that, he constantly bashes himself over every mistake, he makes. he seemingly suffered from something like ptsd after the war with the black king and jack. when he first had the idea of can town, he re-created the day of the skaian skirmish with cans, from his memory. he's also quite intelligent, even though, due him being a farmer, he lacks etiquette. that´ s the reason why he shouts at john sometimes with his commands. he figured out how his "can ship" works, he figured out how to appearify pumpkins, lot's of stuff. just because a character doesn't talk in a story, doesn't mean, he has no personality. did you pay no attention to him, throughout the comic? he's more than just a funny guy, building with cans.
Well not really almost, the only reason WV had started the protest is because things had gone too far, and that only would've happened if jack got himself the ring of orbs fourfold. Even with only three prototypes, he was one hell of a powerhouse. They sadly stood no chance.
i just thought of something. if WV had a different goal like obtaining the ring or in a way, getting to the other side... he could've been "promoted" to a queen like how you can give pawns promotions if they get to the other side of the chess board.
I mean, this was actually imperative to the story and character development. I'm surprised, because a lot of people think Descend is underrated, but this is like one of my personal favourite flashes.
I was not expecting the synths in this to pop of this hard. The marching percussion, strings and piano provides an awesome beat that gives us a good look into this battle scene for us, the but holy crap the melody just goes off, highlighting every awesome view we get of the battlefield and the revolution.
@HardBoiledYoshi The song itself speaks to me about the VAST scope of Homestuck, I remember when I first saw the skaian battlefield in the respective flash and I was just staring like a stoned chipmunk at the screen for the rest of it
@Turnips5 Yeah, I was not expecting the little chess board to be actually present, I thought it was just a metaphor. And when the EPIC CHESS PLANET showed up... wow
SkaiaFormers! Chess In disguise! ProspitBots Wage there battle to defeat the evil forces offff..... The Derecepticons! SkaiaFormers! Chess in disguise! SkaiaFormers!
I didn't reach the scene where this music plays yet but I'll listen to it when I'll be writing a scene of my book. It fits perfectly the moment when a battle is coming so the characters are in a reunion to decide of a plan and nobody has one. And there's this girl who was in a bad mood because of her friend's death and revival who encounters her friend's late professor as a spirit, who helps her getting better. She didn't take part in the reunion but now she's feeling better so she goes there. In the room all hope was lost, nobody knew what to do but then the girl comes in and says "I have a plan" and in my head Skaian Skirmish starts to plays and she explains her crazy plan with so much confidence everyone agree her.
I'm sure noone noticed it, but the beginning of this song (like the first few seconds) sounds like when you first hear the bass in Megalovania. Coincidence? Yes.
Oh holy shit, I'm not even the only one who noticed. The bass notes in this song and the first half of Megalovania are exactly the same. That bass in this song happens to come directly from Skies of Skaia; at least, I don't *think* _that's_ a coincidence.
@VodkaShoe It did bring me to tears, in End of Act 5 Act 1. I never had a good relationship with my father, and just seeing Dad and John doing all that fun stuff together... ;_; I guess that's kind of depressing, sorry.
absolutely hilarious that this random pawn guy nearly became as dangerous as jack
After all, the pawn can promote to any other major chess piece when it reaches the opposite end of the board
@@Jakecake95 Good catch! That's actually a really awesome connection and probably what Hussie was trying to invoke with this flash.
who?
@@mrosskne Technically spoilers?
Wayward Vagabond/Warweary Villien
A. K. A.
The Mayor of Can Town
I mean PM literally got to the other side and became a queen. She is a pawn that got promoted.
In which we learned that WV is much more than just a bumbling can obsessed loon.
Power to the mayor.
He may be more then a can obsessed loon, but being a can obsessed loon is pretty fucking badass
Hear, hear

Weren't Jack and the agents able to speak?
Darkcaster65
actually yes, just not via sburb or sgrub.
Well not really almost, the only reason WV had started the protest is because things had gone too far, and that only would've happened if jack got himself the ring of orbs fourfold. Even with only three prototypes, he was one hell of a powerhouse. They sadly stood no chance.
i mean, not really.
they kinda failed miserably.
Can never play chess again without thinking of it as the skaian battlefield...
Same
yesss
Actually that made chess more cooler
imagine the enemy's king is a dude that prototyped 4 times
Mmm.
likewise, infact it helped me think outside the box n get better at chess.
We all remember the day the Pawn rose against the King...
WV was a pawn, and he rose against the king.
Jack was a non-combative, and he rose against the queen.
The day the pawns rose up, and how the knight became the king.
i just thought of something. if WV had a different goal like obtaining the ring or in a way, getting to the other side... he could've been "promoted" to a queen like how you can give pawns promotions if they get to the other side of the chess board.
because the king ruined his lawn.
@@acquaintedfowl1767 WV could have stopped everything from going to shit
Clearly this song and its accompanying video is the most underrated epic scene of all Homestuck.
+Schinshikss oh hell yes it's so epic
I mean, this was actually imperative to the story and character development. I'm surprised, because a lot of people think Descend is underrated, but this is like one of my personal favourite flashes.
+TyronasaurusRx which flash was this
wayward vergabond, rise up. or soemthing
[S] wv : rise
It's amazing that such a piece as a pawn, not even a trained one, can gather and raise an army from BOTH sides!
I want to make a Skaia-themed chess set.
I will buy that
that's gonna need a fuck ton of pawns for this
@@wowwhatacleverandoriginaln9416 you could make the board a metal globe and each of the pieces lightweight magnets
Please do so i'd pay a lot for it.
@@coolbb7339 magnetically levitated board with tiny magnetic pieces, you're a genious mate!
Edit: this wasnt sarcasm, youre a legit genious
I love this song and continually wonder why it doesn't have as many views as some of other songs in the album. Oh well.
290,000 aint bad.
@@eliteal2188 313,000 aint bad.
gawd same
me 2
because youtube algorithm fucking sucks
the day this isn't badass is the day I dont want to live on this earth anymore
Then you'll always want to live on this world
fake. this video cannot have 790 likes if all of humanity was destroyed.
Then i guess that means were in a doomed timeline.
And how can you comment if all of humanity was destroyed?
its a joke you piece of shit
Dash Lain Yes, I know. Don't be so fast on the insults, okay?
if you knew.. then why would yuo comment tht......
WV disliked this because his crops burned
I was not expecting the synths in this to pop of this hard.

2018 and I'm still bopping to this godforsaken webcomic

these comments they bring me back
All three jack noirs disliked
I don’t know about Slick
Now a bunch of imps have disliked
I am 19 years old and LONG past my Homestuck "phase." However, I must confess I love listening to the music while studying...
Maria Berquist you are mistaken, you can never be past your homestuck "phase".
You're here forever...
2020 and I'm still bopping to this godforsaken webcomic
Damn bro i feel you
WV: Rise up.
I'm the 413th like.
Man, I would fucking pay to read a comic in the style of Homestuck, but the Kids are gone and its WV vs the Dersian Hegemony.
@Turnips5
Yeah, I was not expecting the little chess board to be actually present, I thought it was just a metaphor. And when the EPIC CHESS PLANET showed up... wow
SkaiaFormers!
Chess In disguise!
ProspitBots Wage there battle to defeat the evil forces offff..... The Derecepticons!

This song conjures a feeling of floating free on fluffy cumulonimbi.
good song, i still love homestuck.
Homestuck is out savior! Oh hail Hussie and his beautiful art!
@@wowwhatacleverandoriginaln9416 wait what does *that* mean??? i haven’t been keeping up with homestuck or hussie
this should be so much more popular
please! someone make an extended remix of this song and send me the youtube link!!!! i love this song so much but it's so short!!!!
Next time I play chess with my dad, I will confuse the hell out of him with this.

@earthy ey bro that's not nice >:|
Look out, we've got a badass over here.
Ah yes, one of the first moments where I went "wtf just happened"
I'm sure noone noticed it, but the beginning of this song (like the first few seconds) sounds like when you first hear the bass in Megalovania.
Coincidence?
Yes.

1:28 is the best part
WOW, THAT'S PRETTY RICH COMING FROM YOU. I APPLAUD YOU FOR REACHING NEW, UNCHARTED REACHES OF UNADULTERATED HYPOCRISY.
Play Skaian Skirmish and Skaian Skuffle at the same time.
Not sure about you guys but I think it sounds awesome.
So much awesomeness. IT'S TOO MUCH TO HANDLE! *computer asplodes*
