Homestuck's Crazy Alchemy References (part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Homestuck's alchemical system is bizarre and vast, but how loyal is it to its real-world roots? Or are there other hidden allusions Hussie added in? This is only the first half, folks.

The real Alchemy was Davepetasprite^2 all along.
Also: Will admit that the whole "Root word being Chem" thing feels a bit flimsey to me. I will research more and address it in the next alchemy-based vid.
alchemy does work it's what the elite are using to harvest our souls, just look at the whole travis scott concert, its littered with alchemy symbolism. most of what we have been told are lies, so as to keep us ignorant from THE TRUTH and the one who identified himself as THE TRUTH.
My reading of the Alpha kids having lands named after noble gases is that because they messed up the prototyping process, the game did not allow them to fully develop their respective lands, thus making them inert in the grand scheme of things - just like the noble gases are not capable of chemically interacting with other elements.
Yep, thier sessions were null from the start, no space player or prototypes or anything
The smartest homestuck
The suburbs alchemy and sylladex system are also somewhat related to principles of programming
As an aspiring programmer, it fills me with glee!
that's because this is the satanic matrix, this whole world is a satanic ritual, it might as well have one huge pentagram on the floor of all the land inside of what can only be called a very complex version of minecraft/sburb created by the GOD of the bible. minus the whole planets and space part as it's a flat realm with a dome over it (look at the disney logo they put the truth there for us to see in plain sight). the fact you live in a flat realm with a dome with other domes containing other alien/angelic/inter dimensional creatures living outside our own is the big secret they are hiding from you.
@@mangakatanaka3067 Dude, what the Hell are you talking about?
@@tudoraragornofgreyscot8482 THE TRUTH✝ is what i'm talking about water always finds it's way flat and level if you use your god given eyes and break free from the indoctrination about how it's stupid to do so ==>🥛👀. nasa in hebrew means "to deceive" they even admit every image of the globe earth is "photoshop but it has to be". Satan like the bible says has "deceived the whole world" especially humans about what they live on and their flat earth realm.
@@tudoraragornofgreyscot8482 i grew up reading homestuck but these past 3 years i realized it's all lies and it's going to play a part in the final mystery Babylon quantum mysticism one world satanic religion in the end and is helping prepare people for the fallen angels which now we call aliens. no longer do they ride around in chariots like when they pretended to be ancient Greek gods and other deities they now ride around in flying space crafts and claim to come from other planets when they really come from other heavenly dimension outside our own. homestuck is essentially a false creation myth created by satan to prepare people for fallen angels i wish i was kidding but i'm not and this is coming from someone who spent countless school nights staying up late to read it, buying homestuck merch like the lil cal backpack, going to cons,etc. once you accept the truth of flat earth, YOU BECOME gamzee you can see the script of the story in which we live in, just like gamzee knew homestuck was not real and was a story destined for him to become lord English once you accept flat earth and God that will become you, free from the matrix. that's why gamzee is associated with the illuminate all seeing eye, when he stares into the eyes of lil cal as he encounters a truth so deep that it forces him to have to conform his actions to it. that's what will happen once you accept the truth of flat earth, you will have to accept God is 100% real and all your actions will be conformed to the truth and you will be able to see who are the deceivers and liars and actors in the world by simply accepting this one truth.
Homestuck alchemy makes a bit more sense when you realize what Grist is. Other than the grain definition, Grist is "useful material, especially to back up an argument." It's ideas, information, or (in a computer sense, since Sburb is a game) data, not physical objects. Alchemy transforms base metals into nobler ones. Alchemistry transforms ideas into tangible reality. optimisticDuelist and TexTalks have done great videos on Homestuck mechanics.
I wasnt expecting my homestuck bingeing and science class to mix today
i read old school lore and immediately got LIKE
After becoming creator and injecting references, homages and so on in my own work I always end up asking myself whenever I see stuff like this "was this intentional or a really happy coincidence that the author didn't see but potentially realized after the fact" cuz I can say now that that's happened several times for me and my webcomic and animated miniseries groony
Yep, I once caught in an argument with someone when I added homestuck "alchemy" into my minecraft server.
Hey Jen I miss you
I wasnt expecting my mind to be blown once again, yet here we are
why am i following a homestuck channel when i havent even read homestuck-
this is inspiring me to finally read it though eventually. ive tried to before but ive never gotten past whichever act it is that jade comes in bc i dont have the attention span unless i hyperfixate- but im thinking im gonna actually read all of it sometime soon
A bit late but you can watch others read through it. That's what I did, it's weirdly much easier to follow like that. At least for me
@@portable_rat i did actually read all of homestuck after writing that comment. i dont understand any more than i did before
Never paid much attention to the alchemy in homestuck, turns out it’s really interesting
See ya in 2022
This kind of stuff was always what I loved the most about Homestuck, I love is all of course, but the parts early on that are more focused on the game systems are my favorite. Also wow, there really is nothing in Homestuck that isn't tied to some sort of pattern or metaphor
Nice vid, hermeticism is a very complicated topic to study and I commend you on just getting a surface level understanding.
If you want a slightly deeper dive to hold over till part 2 check out Gnoggin's "the end Pokemon theory" it goes over things a bit deeper with some Pokemon parallels.
Just want to say thank you for your wonderful videos on Homestuck!
The land of my sister is the land of ion and iron,mine is the land of genesis and sulfur,we didn't know about the iron sulfate,so this is a bitter fact.
Good video eevee.
She didn't mention Abraxas !
Every day more and more i realize how deep Homestuck is. I would never have thought about the "real" alchemy references!
Thank you very much for this beautiful masterpiece of a video you're showing of Homestuck I love alchemy and love this UA-cam channel big job in your work
I would like to amend that Hermeticism isn't quite the study of the greek god Hermes. It actually centered around Hermes Trismegistus, a different but related legendary figure also tied to the god Thoth. Trismegistus supposedly penned the Corpus Hermeticum (and the Emerald Tablet, ever heard of the Emerald Tablet of Thoth?), and if that sounds complicated and not very cut and dry, that's exactly correct.
Glad ur still with us
I HAVE BEEN WAITING A THOUSAND YEARS TO TALK ABOUT THIS
EEE IM SO HAPPY TO SEE HOMESTUCK CONTENT AGAIN
Oh my fucking god thank you for existing.
Seriously, this was both extremely entertaining and also genuinely educational. I honestly had no idea about what alchemy really was before this video. I'm so happy I found this channel. Keep doing what you love.
I also see that part 2 came out today so I'll watch it later :)
trying to make parallels between homestuck and the real world forces respect even from a french xD. Continue what your doing it's great
youtube now shows 8 days ago instead of 1 week ago
oh im so hyped for this
“It all comes together-“
Okay so i dont know if this will be commented on later but i want to point out that in traditional alchemy the philosphers stone isnt literally a physical object. The philosphers stone is a metaphorical representation of spiritual ideas about reaching inmortality and enlightenment.
Combining Meat and Candy? Would that follow the standard Homestuck rules for merging timelines, ie, no duplicates?
Weird ..I woke up and youtube randomly opens up half way through the video talking about some girl named jade...like wtf that's definitely my name...youtube is a little creepy
Jen, these videos are an absolute delight to watch. I always learn something new from you and I always look forward to what you have to say on the topic of Homestuck. Good stuff.
Using mercury to turn lead into gold? Hoppycock! You would need something yellow, otherwise you are just turning lead into silver. No points for second place.
I also want to note that fire is Dave's element because of his absolutely lit rhymes
Happy holidays to you :3
i love your videos! this one especially! holy wow did Hussie tie a lot of alchemy into the lore :O
The Homestuck community gave me a link to your channel recently, and I've really enjoyed watching everything repeatedly! Keep up the good work!
Personally, I super love Homestuck for the crafting system.
It's almost next year
God damnit I like the themes but god XD
homestuck hurts me :'3
I posted a comment about this which might have got deleted as spam because it had a link; would you address the theory that Karako is Troll Antichrist? It's on the Homestuck Reddit; theory goes he has a lot of parallels to both Karkat and Lord English, and he causes the Dark Carnival visions. They suggest he's an Heir of Mind, which would fit with the theory that Marvus is a Lord of Mind (he's capable of inducing obsession with him in the entire empire, he's gotta be that powerful).
Imma do alchemy anyway. It seems fun.
Where are you I miss you
mercury =/= mercury?????????? 5:25
Do you have like a google doc or something where you have a list of all the sources you use in these videos? It just dawned on me the symbolism discussed would be great for developing one's own fantasy setting, but it's nice to know the ye-olde texts that actually laid the foundations for this or that mythology instead of some tumblr kids reimagining that gets passed as being as good as the original.
Great vid as always!
