Aidan Skillings I know you commented years ago, but Toby did rise to fame as I'm sure you're aware Hopefully we can see some of the other Homestuck musicians more often too tho
Honestly four years later, I'm not even huge in the fandom anymore, but whenever I see the word frost I just think of this song and smile. One of HS' best imo
Have been racking my brain for the whole day trying to remember what this song was called and had it playing in my head... the moment I lie down to go to sleep I remember the name and here I am
@@ndJssFlurt Marvus busts a move! Zebruh strikes a pose! Marsti sweeps away the enemy! Vikare soars above! Skylla wrangles up a fight! Lanque rocks the respiteblock!
tfw you check the comments section to see what in the comic this song refers to and the whole section is full of 1) OMG IT'S SU 2) OMG IT'S TOBY 3) OMG SHUT UP ABOUT SU AND TOBY *sigh*
Sounds like playstation-era racing game music... Or just breakcore in general. Toby fox seemed to really like the amen break and similar drum loops back then.
me, who hasn't been in the fandom for 5 years: oh, what's that song in my head? is it... frostbite? *finds the song on the first time* aye still got it 👌 😎
I like how this reminds people of so many different game soundtracks. For me I hear Paper Mario's Ice Palace and the snowy area leading to the starkid village. Ahhh nostalgia.
i didnt remember what the name of this song was but i knew it was icey related so i searched up he term "homestuck ice crystal" and it actually came up lol
To me i imagine a 2D plataform like the newer Castlevania, in well, a ice ambient, but with some trees trying to survive in this cold, with their leaves getting caried with the wind and snow.
Aaaand this reminds me of RotG, the pairing called Frostbite (Jack x Tooth). It kind of has this sense of adventure and fun, and sounds like a bit of a kingdom. Toothiana's domain, maybe?
I know I shouldn't make this comparison as everyone hates when someone from another fandom compares it to something they like, but the beginning reminds me of Steven Universe.
This song reminds me a lot of the first phase of Andrius' boss fight from Genshin Impact for some reason. I think it's because of the overlap in how the songs portray an "icy" aesthetic - high, floaty strings/keys contrasted with a stock drumbeat and low bass throbs.
Because then people would have a hard time going into trickster mode and running around in circles like idiots singing the first two lines of jingle bells over and over again forever. Also, this reminds me of Bomberman Heroes' ice world, because everyone else is saying what it reminds them of.
For gods sake stop comparing SU to other fandoms, Homestuck and this song came before, and SU is briefly based off of it! Of course there are similarities between the two!
