he tucks in his shirt? what an absolute dweeb. I love him.
He has a belt? WHAT A DWEEB. I love it. I thought that it was a pant-line when i read the webcomic.
Ayo tucked in shirts are pog,

Just made your likes 413. You're welcome
who doesn't?? Oh no am I a dweeb
Anyone else notice he dresses somewhat like his Father? Mainly with the lower part of the torso, the tucked-in shirt, belt, and the white pants. Also, thw long-sleeved shirt which looks to be drawn to have folds that look like they're on a button-up-fancy shirt.
Holy shit you’re right, all he’s missing is the hat and pipe tbh
And a box of Betty Crocker
Like father, like son UwU

John hates the Betty Crocker brand

It's all the John themes combined to form the ultimate J O H N theme.
Nah. There’s no Doctor or Heir Conditioning.
@@literallyn01imp0rtant they begin to associate with him during the game, so this is the theme of "John's normal life"
Unfortunate choice of words you used there, buddy. Hasn't really made it to ultimate, has he?
Highly true! Dirk’s route- what an ‘experience’.
Ultimate John. could you imagine? doing the windy thing across all universes
I REALLY want him to eventually drop his glasses and for his eyes to be proven to be a part of the glasses. It's already happened to Jake that one time he fought metal Dirk.
they get punched off him in [S]:game over, if i remember correctly
@@appleogold YUP, that's right! He grabs them in midair and puts them back on while yelling
he actually had his eyes knocked off him back in like act TWO in the first imp strife,
Already happened bud
@@appleogold ye calliborn punches his glasses off and his eyes are on 'em
I diagnose you with BABEY
HE’S PREGNANT???
@Surpasingly Psyquieous But,,, but hao issat posible???

Surpasingly Psyquieous STOP CADSEEFFRJEC
Words that rhyme with themselves
Aside from how adorable the sprites we've seen so far are, and how cute john is, I'm not the only one amazed by the fact that his tshirt had always been long-sleeved, am I???? Like???
Yeah. It’s been portrayed as long-sleeved in most of the webcomic.
@@literallyn01imp0rtant I never noticed oh man
Holy crap what
I always thought it had short sleeves
it's actually a really interesting thing, the john and jade, who are siblings have long sleeves and rose and dave both have short sleeves
@@jujubap2272 yeah. One thing though, john dresses terribly. Like oh my god what even are those shorts
i like the belt he has
idk why but it kind completes john in a way
Makes him more like his dad tbh
That's even cuter
he had them in his original sprite
@@ShadowChromiaAWAWA ur pfp is amazing i LOVE the colors
You hear that? It's the sound of oncoming depression!
The bells have rung in waves of that shit for years I can't tell when the new sounds join in 😎😎😎😎
Go on, make it worse, friendship handcuffs connecting him to both Jade and Vriska
Wait, he has hands?
Yeah duh. He keeps them in his chest, Pooplord! XD
Better yet he has arms
he's already retrieved them from his magic chest.
Woah dude
He’s got them right there numbnuts

OH MY FUCKING LORD. HOW SCANDALOUS.
HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU EVEN. SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IN A COMMENT SECTION.
YOU SHOULD BE VERY ASHAMED. OF YOURSELF.
That's gay Bro
Eugore Villarreal bro.... no homo tho 😳
hes not a homosexual
YOU CANT HOLD HANDS BEFORE MARRIAGE BRO
I love this song but hearing certain notes makes me wanna cry, especially because they sound so close to John's piano refrain and that song always makes me cry.
i think the key its in is pretty nostalgic-sounding tbh
This is so nostalgic like I don’t know what it is but this song hits me in an emotional level and just because it’s the first theme we here in homestuck and now we hear it again and John is happy and that makes me happy
try showtime?
idiot noob I know it’s showtime just the emotions of John being ok makes me feel like we’ve been through so much and seeing him happy after reading the epilogues just feels good
@@juliantorres3495 oh! i understand! also your right, he requires H A P P Y
double whammy when you realize its been a year and a week since it came out :] extra punch in the gut
It sounds so unsburby(less 8bits and all that shit)
It just feels so normal, like Homestuck was a story that didnt involve killer games.
I dunno, man. It sounds pretty ominous to me.
Yeah, like a huge part of the story was redacted thanks to MC.
@@celestialjunipers6829 Well, I'm pretty sure that John never playing Sburb is a good thing. No Earth getting destroyed, no meeting the Trolls and being tormented by them, and so on.

It's just... Peace.

Epilogue John makes me wanna cry
God damn it dirk
P l e a s e
Oh the epilogues?? Just
A collective bad dream, its okay, its not real
"Look how they've massacred our boy"
_fades to dust, sobbing_
I convinced John not to play a game, and I'm very scared as to how this is all gonna go
According to Jade, Bec is flipping the fuck out as a result of the Reader's actions. Maybe he's going to try to get the game back to John... uh...
Wait.
Shouldn't meteors be raining down on Earth right now? Rose has heard about your magical powers from John, so I assume that some time has passed since he had his little existential crisis. Has the destination date for the Reckoning changed?
@@The_Endless_Now Presumably it's a doomed timeline now. Spoilers below for a bit of evidence.
John and the other 7 from the meat timeline appeared, and they only ever traveled to doomed timelines so that they wouldn't disrupt the main story.
@@godlyvex5543 That still doesn't explain why the Reckoning didn't happen. Unlike the Alpha, which was a gift to exclusively Jane and her friends on Post-Scratch-Earth, the beta had a global release on Pre-Scratch-Earth. Surely John and his friends aren't the only ones who managed to prototype their kernelsprites and cause a Reckoning in their session? That's why I'm confused.
@@The_Endless_Now They wouldn't be big enough to end the world, as we saw in the secret laboratory the four largest meteors were the ones belonging to the 4 kids. Anything smaller than john's wouldn't take out an area larger than a small town, let alone the whole world.
Also, what finally destroyed the Earth in this timeline wasn't a meteor, but Becsprite's power responding to the meteor. Considering how it was Gl'ybgolyb that killed all the trolls, it might be that the meteors never actually destroy the world directly, but rather incite its destruction by other means.
My boyfriend said I would end up not liking John but he ended up being one of my favourites because of how ridiculous and, yet, normal he is. He's just a normal kid stuck in a bad situation, but he tries to make the best of it.
0: my kin
just for clarification i don't kin john or any fictional character that i know of
Look at this absolute baby. I love him with all my heart.
Correct opinion
John my beloved
All the pesterquest themes have somehow a hint of calm sadness in them, but I think it’s more present especially in John theme. After all he’s the protagonist

papa roach sounds so cursed akdjwkdn
Awwww! It's my boy John! Back when he had happiness and innocence!!
............
*Please bring my boy's happiness and innocence back oh god it hurts. I just want him to be happy god damnit.*
>notices four w’s at the start
mmmmhmmmm yes
I could imagine dave remixing this
omg dave is gonna have one of these for him too
and his theme's gonna be fucking fire
that wizard guy it is!
ESPECIALLY THAT HARLEQUIN BIT AT 3:05 DUDE THATS SO KICKASS
The next thing is that Dave is going to rap to this
Ralsei McDuck literally reminds me about the time I wanted to rap along to Rose’s theme and the only thing I could think of in that moment was beans so I rapped about beans for a solid 30 seconds and if that wasn’t a Dave moment idk what is-
i love james roach's choice in titles
I love your choice in pfp pics
I sorry to say this, but your profile name isn't accurate to the other trolls names. The first and last name must have 6 letters each one

Yep Pesterquest is released on steam. Plus you should see Rose.
cyberNurgle i already did lol, im hella gay for rose now
@@pistachio2x4b God I can only imagine Jade
all cute, especially john gonna be real with you dude
stop being my comfort character immediately it's embarrassing 😭
Shit gets real when harlequin drops
Sometimes I slow this down and put my hand on the window making a sad face thinking about the old homestuck days
james really knocked it out of the park with these pesterquest themes. the most condensed, enjoyable, fan-serving "essence" of the characters possible that also serve as pleasant bg music. and considering that pesterquest was the last complete thing to come out of homestuck, before the spilled mess that hs^2 was washed away any future, these tracks are basically the goodbyes to these characters. their musical conclusions.
I’m sorry about mean spirited jabs at hs2 I know people worked hard on it
@@robii254 its still being worked on
Happy Birthday John!
Happy Birthday Homestuck!
WINDY BOY is BACK, BABY!!!
Let's see if he can do the windy thing!
i fell in love with his theme not even 2 seconds after i heard it in game.
hello commander karkat ✨
@@hhone748 hello
Showtime!
Harlequin
Oliver Cheong yes. showtime is such a beautiful piece of Homestuck ost music.
THIS BABY-
I want to hug him
Does anyone else think that this sounds tragic and vaguely menacing? Especially at 2:39, this sounds like John is on the brink of snapping and killing someone.
JON NHO
@@chancesassy7963 Ehhh, you can't blame him.
I...agree :(
idk man it reminds me of Gamzee for some reason-
@@ronispadez Anything that sounds like crazy serial killer antics will probably remind you of him.

My mom: *Intense stare of disappointment*

i hate thinking about the fact that pq is over a year old like. it feels so recent??? like equius route came out NINE MONTHS AGO thats insane i cant wrap my mind around it wh
Congrats. Now it’s three.
@@longfineel2630 not if i lie to myself!
@@thiirdchildren Call me a crocodile the way I live in denial!
@@thiirdchildren Oh yea don’t forget, Homestuck started close to 15 years ago now. People who had Homestuck when they were teens are dealing with the housing market!
3:04
Is that....
A...
Carnival...
I hear?????????
MR OBAMA GET DOWN
*harlequin actually
Did anyone else notice its almost a mirror in a strange way to karkats theme
This is probably gonna sound dumb cause i dont know much about this music stuff
This makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.
what a nerd he tucks his shirts in
What a dork. i love him
*Well... That's just breathtaking.*
good lord i love this man
Holy shit why do the kids' themes kinda merge together like I just listened to Dave's and the flow was seamless. Like a playlist someone spent an entire 76 hours on curating.
Now they’re utilizing my greatest weakness: Jazz
This is really nice, might study or draw to it! He looks so cUTE-
Fuck god damn it, before listening to this song was just good vibes, now listening to it is just sad now. Like. This damn song is making me so fucking emotional and nostalgic.
*John is so adorable!*
My favorite beta kid
@@burger1192 correct
Yesyesyes John for life
I love him.
"THAT MEANS MAGIC IS FUCKING REAL!"
*I love him.*
His theme sounds adorable lol
It is!
His theme matches June herself, DUH!
@@Skye1421 👍👍
no it doesnt
Good boy mode
I’m going as John for Halloween and I’m going to play this while I walk around
On another note, I love how the comments on this are about how cool the song is and the Dave theme are memes and Dave headcannons
That's it Alternative Wheatley, YOUR JOB WILL NEVER END!
Yes i am the mailman and not some rando that fucked up the entire timeline and saved you guys years of suffering
I'm sorry but
THERE'S ANOTHER HOMESTUCK GAME??? I'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS IM-
It's amazing!
It literally just came out so don’t feel bad lol
It's the Hiveswap Friendsim direct sequel.
Not fixing the epilogues, breaking the entire Homestuck
@@rainbowglittrz So far the game hasn't done any retcons to the epilogs. In fact, John's route confirms the whole game is a doomed timeline by showing the epilog John and the other teens reuniting to plan the attack on Lord English.
Yes James. Give me that swing beat.
Pretty chill and lo-fi remix of Showtime. It's playful and fun, but I really can't shake the feeling of dread. It's more obvious in the latter half of the song, especially at the muted strings section.
To me it represents a kid who's slowly descending into madness, yet still having a tangible hold of their old, child-like personality. It's befitting of John's character throughout the entirety of Homestuck.
I Love hearing showtime mixes like the one in here
Every Pesterquest theme has been good, I'm happy about that
0:49 HHHHHH,,..............OH MAN...........
i feel like people aren't acknowledging that john wasn't saved by not playing sburb!!!! the apocalypse is supposedly destined regardless if they played or not-- the meteors likely will fall anyways and bring forth the end of the universe without the potential of a new one :(((
Jade's route confirmed that the meteors stopped coming, actually.
I played John's route all of 1 hour ago and this theme already feels nostalgic
Okay, that was all of a sudden
But I love it
BABY BOY
Gah I love John so much, even just his music is such baby
played it, its epic, HELLA excited about dave's part
He Looked heccin kyoot in this-
Whats wrong with me,
He looks Like a Very Good boy
Edit: man this comment is old AND i literally sound so cringe here.
The pesterquest artstyle is fucking adorable all around
There's a perfectly reasonable and scientific explanation for why he looks like a Very Good Boi
It is because he IS a Very Good Boi.
Very Good Boi is why.
john is the goodest boi
you was right though
Piano-Showtime greatest nostalgia ever.
3:00 for harlequin! Not clown or the dad will correct you
do the windy thing boy
Detail I love, the dark carnival is playing in the back, showing his... Association, with clowns
the baby is you
(Note I didn’t read epilogues) it feels so weird seeing John so young again it also feels somewhat sad knowing how happy he was and how his life is going to change drastically I feel kinda sad listening to this 😕
this theme is so fucking dorky im losing my mind its so cute
I love him so much
WHEN SHOWTIME STARTED I JUST FUCKING COULFNT ANYMORR NO GOD HES SUCH A PRECIOUS BOY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
At 3:04 it sounds like Karkats theme is chiming in. Then it get's a little distinctive at 3:16. I could be entirely wrong but it kinda sounds like his theme
I’m gonna leave a comment saying that I like this bc the likes are at 413 right now and I’m afraid to change that
Looped this like 15 times today while doing the following:
Wishing Johndave was canon
"This kind of sounds like John and Dave worked together to make this and it turned out well"
Wishing John was real
Sending messages to my friends on discord about all of the above
Wishing Johndave was canon
leafy supremacy
YESSS FINALLY ANOTHER JOHNDAVE SHIPPER !!!
Yes
Just
Y e s
Okay. So this is after Friendsims plot, but now it's screwed up the events of homestuck. Because John didn't get Sburb now. So what about Dave? Cause he still might have the game and play it out of either boredom, curiosity, or both. Plus I can't wait to see Jade and Dirk.
okay but listening to this and then immediately being shuffled to Castle Vein on my music playlist is an experience i did not expect
LMAO
Is nobody gonna talk about how he is cross-eyed
ik im late to this but during a part of it you can hear gamzee's theme playing, just a note because yknow
Yeeaaahh!! 413 commeeents!!
Does anyone else wanna point out the raw power this song contains like holy shit
the 5 dislikes are from the 5 versions of andy
we stan an egg
GUYS IT'S ALMOST TIME!!
James roach making the pesterquest themes be like. Character theme but make it lo fi
1.5x speed. Trust me on this one.
That's?? Fukin dope?? Ty. U can really hear the beat better, kinda sounds like a remixed version
Yup!! I guess the actual song is slow paced for the sake of it being a background song
