Feels Like We Only Go Backwards - Homestuck Animation 

You are criminally underrated. This is beautifully made.

I loved the increasingly erratic colour change as the lyrics kept repeating and even though Dave was advancing in his story it felt like no progress was being made and he feeling more and more anxious

cant believe im seeing this a whole year late pfff its excellent

I don't quite know how to describe it, but Dave feels so person-like in this. I suppose he just looks like a 13 year old from Texas, but that's a rarity in his depictions.

Your characterization of dave really hits a spot that is very rarely conceptualized. And to have a body of your art and now a VIDEO? It really breathes life into my passion for homestuck again. Bonus points that hes albino, but even without, truly something else here.

come here like every two weeks just to pay my respects to the best homestuck dave strider animatic every made.

this perfectly encapsulates the dave depression experience

it deserver more likes this song fits perfectly to dave and his aspect of time

Dirk gets decapitated: *Oh no not again*

Damn you did such a good job on this, I especially love the detail of the clock hand constantly going counterclockwise and how it vaguely looks like a sword. Also his same stoic expression even through all of these genuinely messed up things is *chefs kiss*. Excellent work

when he gripped dirk's clothes and the song said "not again", dude. i nearly screamed. that hurt. this is amazing

I cried watching this- Mabye it’s just bc I’m a Dave kinnie and anytime I see him at the scene where he talks to dirk about his abuse and questioning his sexuality I immideatly choke up,,,, but who knows- Edit: *i need to stop rewatching this it keeps making me cry but I love it so much- I’m so conflicted*

Ok, first of all damnnnn, everything about this, from the colors, to the music (tame impala gained another fan today), and the way you depict Dave in general is amazing holy shit. Even though this song repeats a lot of the same lyrics (which I usually don't like), your beautiful art helped to encompass the theme of the lyrics in a new way each time. Also, using the same colors for an oldish/nostalgia-inducing song? A M A Z I N G, especially since this song keeps repeating the notion of falling in a cycle that you feel like you can't escape, no matter what. I also love how after watching this, I think I really understood for the first time why the epilogues were as fricked as they were, I can't even put it in words, but this animation really helped to give off a sense of hopelessness that I haven't felt from Homestuck in a long time. I also like how towards the end when the music is kinda more muffled or at least the background noises get louder you also see that expressed in the art. I think this is one of the best Homestuck animations I've seen a while. Thank you so much for making this, this literally made my entire year.

This is absolutely stunning. You managed to capture the feeling of Dave's character and arc so amazingly well, I'm genuinely blown away. A+ work, dude.

I think this is genuinely the most aesthetically pleasing lyricstuck ive ever seen. It’s beautiful, kudos dude

god this is so good the "not heroic again" bit makes me CRY

man thats dope yo i like the use of colors, the fact you havent reused the same frame again and again for the chorus thing part shows effort went into this and it paid off in making this flow nicely, the animation isn't very dynamic just yet (first animations amirite) but the diversity of frames makes me go :clap_emoji:, stay rad dawg

The people who disliked missed the like button because they were to busy crying at this masterpiece

Not only is your animation smooth and your overall art style gorgeous, but those colors are incredible! This is so impressive and I can't even imagine how much effort you must have put into this! Stunning!

Holy shit it starts kinda slow and then all the things Dave has lived and done start appearing and it gets horribly good and sad (especially in every "oh no... not again). Well done, truly well done

Estoy tan shook que no puedo hablar inglés. Videazo, joya. Definitivamente de mis videos favoritos de todo homestuck.

GOD love this! Dave’s my favorite character and this totally made my day! This is excellent!

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

HOPY SHIT this is fucking phenomenal!! Your art and anatomy are SO on point, the way you use the colors as well!! The use of time gears and the angles are to DIE FOR and it was so satisfying every time. I can’t believe that this also has LEGIT animated portions ESPECIALLY because the video is three minutes! After trying my hand at one of these I can seriously appreciate the efforts that go into this stuff and the product was stunning. Also, dang your music tastes are refined! Not only is it way too fitting, it’s just plain good! Hope you’re having a good day!

Wow, this is beautifully made!! I love how towards the end dave was covering his ears like he was overwhelmed, that was a nice touch

Istg, I had a very short homestuck phase a year or so ago where I mostly read fics but. I just want you to know that I’ve watched this a dozen some times, and every couple months I stumble across it again and get sucked right back into the fandom. The vibes are just immaculate :’DD

holy shiiit this is amazing

This is just beautiful, and everything here feels so Dave. You have done a great work, you should be really proud.

This is so gorgeous like actually fantastic job on giving dave such character that isnt portrayed much i love it

i cant get over the colours... this is gorgeous, the entire aesthetic and the way your art style looks so good ... 💓💓💞💓💕

I love how RU-vid recommends me videos that it should've recomended 6 months ago 😭 i love this so much, the vibes are so beautiful ❤

This is one of the most amazing homestuck animatics I have ever seen, song choice, character, color pallet. Chefs kiss fr

Probably the best lyricstuck ever made.

every so often I come back and watch this bc it's just so..... so masterfully done and beautiful. its latched onto my heart forever

outstanding animation. love the colour pallete you used and finally, how you represent how stressed and traumatized poor dave actually is thank you ENNIisSG

This is unbelievably ethereal

Holy shit. I almost never say this, but you SERIOUSLY DESERVE WAYYYYY MORE SUBS. Like holy fuck this is incredible. RU-vid is dying if this doesn't blow up.

I've never thought this song could be fitting for a time traveler. Good job!

ONLY 120 COMMENTS???????? dude this is so beautiful... the frames look so good. my favorite part is when hes blinking and kind of rolling his eyes, it makes him look so pretty

If someone asked me to try and put my feelings about this video into words, I wouldn't be able to. There's just such an uniqueness about the combination and corrolation of colors, style, character, song - it feels... different. In a good way.

God the color palette 😭 this is gorgeous and fits Dave so perfectly

I'm never gonna grow tired of rewatching this, it's so well done man

this is so amazing i got goosebumps! this definitely feels like it could be an official lyric video its so good i love this sm :')

holy shit dude... this is incredible! you should be incredibly proud this is just amazing. the colours, the composition, just everything meshes together to make me FEEL THINGS!!!.... im completely blown away

this is a fucking MASTERPIECE. absolutely the best content the homestuck fandom, dare i say any animatic artist i've seen, has ever produced. your coloring is fucking stunning. i'm astonished by how skilled this is. this kind of amazing animation and art is unbelievable. you perfectly captured such an obscure feeling with this. i think about this video every single day. the combination of colors, animation, art, and not to mention impeccable music taste all add up to something that has emotionally devastated me in the best way possible. gorgeous.

HOLY SHIT???? THIS IS SO RAD???? THIS SONG CHOICE IS PERFECT, THE STYLE IS SOOOOO GOOD ITS LIKE. CRUNCHY AND LIKE. I DONT EVEN KNOW. AND THE ANIMATION IS AWESOME!!!!! OMG I FORGOT TO MENTION THE COLORS!!!!!! I TOOK A COLOR THEORY CLASS BUT I STILL CANT COMPREHEND HOW POEPLE CAN DO COLOR LIKE THIS. MAGNIFICENT.

God fuck this was such a wonderful video to experience,,,,your art style and the color choice just work so well together

Holy hell, this is so good??? I don't know how you made every single "Not again" hit just as hard as the last one but you definitely did. Thank you so much for making this!

HOLY SHIT- THIS IS AMAZING.

Your art style is incredibly recognisable even after months of not seeing your work. Do you have an Instagram? I'd say it's a good idea to make one.

I wish I had your skills so I could make a similar animation about Jake ("Promiseland" by Mika). Thank you for creating this. I love it so much. Seen your other art works, they are stellar.

God, this is so good. It fits Dave's aesthetic so well, as well as the aesthetic of the music! And the artwork is also FANTASTIC. I love your style so much!
