I LOVE that this song intended for dave was used for dirk as he roleplays as a knight of time. He *reacts* to the time-sensitive predicaments everyone is in, by *serving his friends time* by orchestrating everyone's entries and saving jane, all for *their benefits*. aaaaaaa
This is such an underrated comment. It's 100% this. Dave isn't living in Dirk's shadow, Dirk has lived his entire life in alpha bro's shadow trying to emulate him. It's that Dirk looks up to Dave.
If you listen close, it makes use of all the Beta Kids' instruments. John's Piano, then Rose's Violin, then Dave's Synth (as the drum set), and Jade's Bass. Then they combine at the end.
SolidAir02 Whenever I listen to this, I always picture both sets of kids performing it together. You've got the Brothers Strider laying down the beat, Eggbert on the piano, the Sisters Lalonde going back-to-back badass violin duet, Harley jamming on her bass... I can't remember if Crocker or English are musically inclined, but maybe they could be on electric guitar and keyboard or something.
God damn it keyboard/ autoCorrect *I thought it was the other way around in the Alpha universe dirk living in his bros Shadow I can spoken engrish good you trust it good very
TheParadox1010 well dirk is different from dave. dave during the whole comic until near the end kept trying to live up to bros legacy, trying to keep the irony a-flowing. but dirk was perfectly content where he was, he actually thought he was on par with davebro. he doesnt live in his bros shadow, he lives in his own. dave lives in his bros shadow, which i basically compared bro to dirk but theyre not the same at all, so that was a fuck up on my part. and yes i the understand you engrish you do the very good
+Duty Calls being on par, on the same level correct? He(davebro) took down basically the devil himself right? So that is a lot to compete with, so he had to train for around 16 years to get on his level, that has been his focus along with robots and puppets so he lived his shadow with out knowing he has morphed him self in to dave. That is why he has his music. That is just my head cannon for all we know hussie could have just been lazy.
+Detective Pyrope Technically it symbolizes how those kids were the "Nobles", as even all their planets were named after the noble gasses, and a few other things but I woke up no more than 5 minutes ago so im still kind of out of it. But yeah, I still get what you mean lol
Like dress up like a ninja and run along rooftops while fighting evil ninjas at midnight, shurikens flying everywhere, shadows jumping across the night sky. Then a bunch of allied ninjas show up and we kick the shit out of the evil ninjas. I feel like I'm five again :)
No but can we take a moment to notice how Meenah was the first living creature he ever touched? Just some random alien wearing some weird-ass jewelry flies out of nowhere, and _hell yeah_ he's sure going to high-five right back. One of my favorite moments in Homestuck, really.
AwesomeGamer I I'm going to copy mine, from my _unedited_ comment. creature creature And here's yours, directly above this one so they're together. As you can see, exactly the same. As for "living," I used the connotative meaning of the term to refer to a biological creature, as opposed to Squarewave and Sawtooth, which are categorized as biorobotic. And everyone else here (I mean at least the four people who + 1'd it as of this, anyways) understood what I meant by it, which is literally the entire purpose of the difference between connotation and denotation. So like I'm really confused as to what you're trying to correct here, unless I missed something?
The fact that this was used for a Dirk flash is actually kind of sad, since it's obviously supposed to be a song about dave finally getting to be a hero (since it has the other beta kids leitmotifs.) Don't get me wrong, the [S] Synchronize/Unite flashes were amazing, but Dave finally getting to be a hero is such an important part of his arc, and I really hoped this song would play a part in it. It's like one more way that he's been upstaged by his Bro.....
There is piano in this song. John plays piano. There is violin in this song. Rose plays the violin. There is a bass in the song. Jade plays the bass. There are sick af beats in this song. Dave makes sick af beats. Illuminati confirmed.
Illuminati confirmed? This isn't second-grade. Sorry, but these stupid Illuminati jokes from EVERYONE are getting so annoying. UGH! (not trying to be a hater it just really annoys me (
For optimal listening experience: Play until the pause, go get in the shower or do some activity that will only take a few minutes, and then come back and play the rest of the song.
It wouldn't happen. They're both too rad for that. Like, think about it like this. If you asked, "What if the sky was yellow?" while we were discussing natural science then my answer would be, "Well, it's not", because in order for the sky to be yellow, a whole lot of things would need to be different on an axiomatic level. Everything would be different to accommodate this one change; it wouldn't be a productive train of thought. It is the same with Dirk and Meenah: asking, "What if they missed their high-five?" is a thing that could not happen because in order for it to not happen both of them would have to be very un-rad. And that's not gonna happen.
I listen to homestuck music when I'm doing work and when it gets to the part at 1:51 I immediately stop what I'm doing and wait for the music to pick up again then begin going back to whatever I was doing.
I don't know why I keep coming back here. It just fills me with a deep melancholy, looking into those infinite Red Miles and feeling so impotent against the passage of time. There's something missing here. I don't understand what or how or why, but I'm longing for a memory of something I'm not even sure I ever had, something _almost_ captured by these notes, and yet hollow, slipping through my fingers as the last of the melody decays in my ears.
There's another view too. The cut is a closed eye and the blood is a tear. And yes, what have seen can be unseen if you have some practice at focus at one point or at not focus at another. But good trolling try, bro.
Liam Myers Then try to don't focus your eyes at the cut, focus them at the sunglasses, trying to see at the same time the totally of the picture. Maybe by this way you can unsee it.
I see this track as being for both Dave and Dirk. Both of them, with the help of their alt-selves, had to save their friends and their sessions and sort of pull everything together. Like basically I see it as the theme of Striders doing their hero/warrior thing
Did anyone notice. Out of everyone int he series dirk died the most times in such a short period In S collide he died twice within a couple seconds. He might have died the most after Aradia who died over 1million times since Aradia bots
I know this song is from Dirk: Unite Synchronization but this can also be used to represent Davesprite when he is the Beta Kid session: "You think that you have beaten me, but there is more to me then meets the eye then this. I am not one to give up or give in, because there is more to me then what's just seen. I will not give up on my friends because they are what drive me to just keep going! I will not let their deaths become in-vain, I will keep fighting to the very end! Their strength is what allows me to keep going no matter the threat or obstacle, as they are still in my heart and are still with me and their memories remain. Our timeline was doomed to the start, but I can help and will to keep this timeline safe. There is still time to fix what is broken, and we can do it all together to start the scratch!"
It comes from an animation called [S] Dirk: Unite Synchronization. You probably won't understand anything if you haven't the 4000 first pages of Homestuck.
the middle guitar riffs never fail to make me imitate them. I'll be listening to this in public on day and just burst out with dun dun duh dun duuuuuhnnn
Lyrics(by toucanSandwiches): Yo. I was out for awhile, cuz the red miles, Squarewave, get inside my sylladex, Gotta fix shit now with a freestyle, my team's a mess, and it's all up to reflex, Shit's kinda typical, but this'll be mighty difficult, cuz additional syllables. Got a long road to hoe so let's go, now, acro-batic. fuck-ing. pi-rou-ette. C'mon I gotta go faster, Yo, I'm a blur, colored alabaster Got that crockercorp sendificator, Absurd, I'm like my own flight simulator. Zoom. Speedyquick like my diction. Do flips and shit, I'm twistin' Don't even care who's list'nin', Brace for impact, I'm liftin' off. And I'm not even sweaty. Though if I were, what I'd need'd be a towel. Hey, yo, Sawtooth are you ready? Here comes a cruxite dowel. (Nice catch!) Did I mention that I did this cause I gotta build speed, I'm relentless, gotta penchant, gotta mighty need, like an engine, end of sentence; cool re-entrance. Yes. Fuck yes. Hell fucking yes. Oh damn, A dead Roxy, sans grave, Yo, Squarewave, take care of this place. Now I know it's odd, but I gotta snog, so go ahead and say it. (YEAH DOGG!) Dude. That's hella gay. But hey, I can't complain, cuz the rogue is awake, That's one down, two to go, or one if Roxy finds a way to partake. She won't. She's straight. Fuck it, gotta move, Squarewave, see ya later. Runnin' out of time, livin' on a prayer, got my Bucket and my crockercorp sendificator, Now as they say it's all gone pear shaped, there's no other way, so decapatat- -tion is my escape, goodbye Squarewave, じゃあまたね (ja mata ne (see you later)). Yo. I'm back. Did I miss shit? No I didn't, this attempt is kinda pathetic. Doof, bitch, out the way, Daddy Dirk is taking care of liplocking with Jane. Looks like everything is okay, one step left and we're headed to Jake, Ya better hold on, because this thing is so fast holy shit I'm cool. Did I tell you how cool I am? Cuz I'm so fucking awesome. (It's time for AUTOTUNE) GRAB. ON. TO MY FUCK-ING SKATE. BOARD. I'M SO COOL, I SAVED THE DAY, YOU'RE WELCOME, WATCH THIS COOL SHIT THAT I SET UP EARLIER, IT'S NO BIG DEAL WAIT I LIED IT'S ACTUALLY THE COOLEST THING EVER! Sup.
I think here, we could say Dirk's class means "One who uses another's heart to destroy." We know he's somewhat manipulative, and that ability to work with other peoples' emotions shows great potential for him as a leader.
