My jaw is on the floor the "~ATH" part was incredible oh my god

I try to forget I ever read Homestuck, but then UA-cam recommends absolute bangers like this. Damn you, UA-cam! There is no way I can ignore excellent music. Good job!

This one goes out to the Batter Witch. ❤️🙏😤

*takes a piece about the helmsman and makes it MOSTLY about the Condesce*
all things as they should be!

[@myglasses-halffull]

Without _𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧,_ there would be no ship to helm. And if not allowed the honor of being _𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐚𝐫-𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲,_ the heretical mustard blood would have surely lived a short, meaningless, and heterodoxical existence.
The generosity of our Empress truly knows no bounds. 🙇🏽‍♂✨♓

Your (whoa five years old?!) Gold Pilot cover has been a firm favourite of mine for, I guess, five years. This was amazing. Spectacular. Man.. It's never too late to relive Homestuck again, I guess.

[@subversiveasset]

Interestingly, I got the idea for doing this from a comment on the original piece asking if it could be put up on Spotify. I thought, "hmm, maybe, but I'd have to clean up some parts."
but then, after cleaning up the pieces, I thought, "what if there were vocal chants?" And then after THAT, I thought, "what if there were lyrics?"
ironically...adding lyrics makes it not easily licenseable for spotify at all...soo that's tough.
