Kay, I'm gonna cry now simply because of the trolls saying some lives were cruelly lost about Equius and Nepeta. It shows how much everyone truly did care for them, and each other.
Akiran thank you so much for all you did for the Homestuck community you are so creative, thank you!! You have a really good singing voice too!! I love your work so much that it physically hurts sometimes ;/ so thank you and thank you and your crew for everything it makes all my days better ❤ I had a feeling that it would be a long day...
It feels so surreal to look back at stuff like this so much later. I was so into homestuck back in the day, and forged some great memories, a lot of them a little bittersweet. But fanworks like this still bring a tear to my eye.
Equius and nepeta's part almost broke me. My god. This song is absolutely beautiful. What? No, I'm not tearing up at a parody of a song based on a comic where the presidents were 2 ICP jugallos! Shut up!!!
"You have a feeling it's going to be a very long day" Followed by 3 years of quality time with your dog-sister and her bird boyfriend. And then maybe a few hours in a new universe, hanging out with alternate versions of your parents/siblings/grandparents and hitting on your friend's hot mom. Holy shit when it's all typed out like that HS is really, really weird. I love it xxxxD

I'm actually going to cry. Just hearing all of their voices, seeing everyone in unison about this entire adventure, it just hits hard. Especially now that Homestuck's ended. Seeing them standing together as a team just makes you feel things. Hearing all their voices, together, makes you feel things, especially if you grew up with the comic. How it really shows that it came to a close. And just hearing them _united._ How they went through it all together, and even brought us along for the ride too. Just some memorable parts: - KARKAT: Greetings, worthless human! - The Betas' first "let's see how far we've come" in unison - Sollux's "where'd my sight go?" - Tavros singing "I believe I need to show them who is boss!" - The trolls' first "let's see how far we've come" in unison - "Some lives were cruelly lost, but reunite our cause." - The Alpha kids' lines were just so good?? - The Alphas' first "let's see how far we've come" in unison - JAKE+DIRK: "Our hopes, our hearts, and every one of our dreams." - Everyone singing together at the end?? That slapped me so hard I am growing _emotional_ - JOHN: You have a feeling it's going to be a long day.
I NEED THIS FOREVER I STARTED TO CRY CAUSE I RECONISED THE LAST PART ITS THE SONG FROM MY GREAT GRANDMA'S SNOW GLOBE AND IT REMINDED ME HOW SAD IT WAS THAT SHE DIED ON MY BIRTHDAY
Okay, before I even get to the metaphorical elephant in the room, let me say that without a doubt this song can honestly be compared to that the story of Homestuck itself, since it starts of all upbeat and fuzzy but then we get to more serious matters such as death and sacrifices. Now for the ending part. Let me tell you, without a part, that it got me way more emotional than what I was expecting. I can't seem to remember if this was a direct line from the comic itself, or just something that just really, *really* fits in with the atmosphere of Homestuck and the part itself, with the piano, presumably being played by John, being the singular instrument and a line that just really hits home. I won't say I did cry, because it was somewhat of a bittersweet ending to the song, since it also means that there is more to come than what we have currently Anydongers, good job guys and gals!
mj bumagat It took me so long to find this! I wrote the lyrics to try to reflect to plot of Homestuck all the way up to that point--including their happy times all the way to their struggles and deaths. I'm so glad you like it! Trick brought up this ending idea to play the piano track, which is an OST from the Homestuck track played towards the beginning of HS and I was all for it. And YES! The line is directly from the comic, part of the narration from the flash of the Homestuck Title Screen! We wanted to seem to give the "everything is connected" but that Homestuck isn't over and will continue its course. Thanks so much for your comment! I really enjoyed it, haha.
Homestuck X,D I started reading maybe 2 months after it ended... Gotta say, I feel all your pain XD I'd known it for years and have known that people have loved and that Hussie had such a creative mind, and created such a huge fandom out of it. NOW I WANNA CRY THAT I DIDNT READ IT SOONER ;-; I'm so sad..... I came to the pact too late
It's strange that in the end of this song John says "you have a feeling it's going to be a long day" and that is what it says on the paradox space page. You guys are psychic! The huss is real!
Homestuck was a HUGE part of my middle school life, and I always laughed at the fact that I was so into homestuck but never actually read the comic. Most my information was through friends and wikis, and I liked it that way. I could never get into the comic itself. That is, until now. Random homestuck content popped up in my feed, like it does every year because ‘You Can’t Fight The Homestuck’. But I started listening to old parody songs I liked and eventually decided to give the comic one last shot. I’ve gotten farther into the comic than ever before and it’s interesting to see all information I got from friends and wikis slowly start popping up. Over 5 years since I stopped being an active part of the fan base, I finally read the comic for the first time and actually enjoying it finally.
*I feel like a sad "this is how it makes me feel" story but I don't care sooo... Anyway what I'm putting in this isn't at all spoilers because this is just how I feel like the end of Homestuck might happen. This is what the last line John says and the music made me feel like.* The battle was finally done, but at such a cost. John looked behind him. Jack Noir, Lord English, the Condense... they were finally all defeated. But everyone was dead. Without every single one of his friends, John never would have been able to finish Noir off, but in return John was the only one left. Until he saw Dave move. Hopeful, he ran over to where Dave was lying. But his hope was dashed when he saw the fatal wound in Dave's chest. "...John... come here. I have... two requests..." Dave coughed, bleeding. "Dave! Don't try to talk! I'll... fix this somehow! You can't die!!" John cried desperately. "Stop it, John. I know this is my end. Listen. Can you move me... over there...?" Dave pointed to where Rose, Jade, and Dirk's corpses lay. Nodding and crying a little, John moved Dave in between Dirk and the two girls. Dave reached out feebly and took Dirk's hand on his right, and put his arm under Jade and Rose's head on his left. John sat above him with Dave's head in his lap. "Dave, you aren't going to die...!" John tried again, but Dave shook his head. "I have another request... John, tell me *cough* a story." "Dave..." "Please?" Dave's sunglasses were shattered and bent, and John could see the light fading from Dave's eyes. John sniffled and took a deep breath. "Once upon a time... there were four best friends. They started playing a game. A very hard game. There was one boy in particular, a cool, red eyed 13 year old, who overcame many many hardships. But no mater how difficult it was, he always prevailed. He made strong bonds with lots of other players who he knew he'd stand by till the very end. This red eyed boy and his friends finally came to the last boss battle. Working together, they dealt critical damage to the bosses, but they all received fatal wounds. Except for the red eyed boy's best friend. He... you asked your best friend to tell you a story before you... passed on. The story helped ease you into your final moments and your passing. You knew the next world would have plenty of things you'd need to do in it." John took another deep breath and finished. "You have a feeling it's going to be a long day." When John looked at his friend, he saw that Dave had gone. He had a small smile on his face and an expression that said, "thank you". John carefully laid Dave's head down and got up. "Dave... everyone... I miss you. But I'll keep going. I have too, or you'd all be mad when I join you. I'll... be seeing you, I guess." With that, John did the windy thing just enough to bury the dead, and flew off to start his next chapter in life. Leaving nothing but memories behind on the battle field... and a feeling of many people and trolls smiling farewell. *The end.* *Hope you enjoyed. Peace out.*
+The Storm Before the Calm DAMMIT I CHOSE THE WRONG TIME TO READ THIS I'M WEARING A SHIT TON OF BLACK MAKEUP RIGHT NOW AND MY EYES ARE LIKE "HAHAHA NOPE THIS IS THE PART WHERE I DO MY IMPRESSION OF EQUIUS" HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-
I just got into the Homestuck fandom this month. So understand that I speak with no nostalgia when I say I love this song very much and I've had it on loop for a few days
Is it possible to bring the cast together one last time to finally tie up the mess that is homestuck? I'd cry if you made another video as great as this is tbh
It has literally taken me until now since Homestuck ended to re-listen to this out of fear of sobbing uncontrollably. AH MY HEART HURTS THIS SONG I CAN'T
aaaaaUUUUUUGHHHHH THE FEEEEEEELS ;U; But I really like Dirk's voice oh mY GOD THAT JUT WENT SO OFF TOPIC OF FEELS I MADE A MESS SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME CLEAN IT UP?
oh my god this was the best thing i've ever heard!!! i literally fan-girled when i figured out what it was and you did an amazing. you guys have amazing voices. i'm totally showing this to my homestuck friends!
hearing that piano refrain always makes me think like oh john thought it was gonna be a long day once the world had ended and wow i sure was a very long day.
This song is amazing, I can't even comprehend how much work went into making it you all did bloody brilliant and should be so very proud of yourselves!!!.
PART OF THE FANDOM: You know, I like Homestuck but I'm not really... HUSSIE: Update. PART OF THE FANDOM: I-I'm not emotional but I'll keep reading and...! HUSSIE: Update. PART OF THE FANDOM: NO I'M SORRY, I LIED, PLEASE BRING HIM BACK, NO, MY BABY! I'M OFFICIALLY OBSESSED I ADMIT IT OH PLEASE HUSSIE! HUSSIE: What I thought, bastards.
Hello! Our cosband wants to make a cosplay video with this gorgeous song! We want to use lyrics and voices from it. Would your cast give us a premission?
〉Enter Name Hello! I believe so long as you credit all of the voices and lyrics, and link to the original, it should be fine. I would love to see it, and thank you for showing interest!
i started reading homestuck last week, and i really love it, i can see why my best friend kept pestering me to try it... the song is pretty freaking awesome
I remembered this for no goddamn reason, and then I remembered Case sang in it, which i somehow completely forgot for a moment that case was a homestuck voice actor before they became poggers musician
oh my god okay so like a few weeks ago some kid stole my flashdrive at school, and that flashdrive had the mp3 of this and the mp4 of that lyric video somebody made and I thought that I had lost it forever since the lyric video is gone?? but I was digging through tumblr and just. here it is. I might cry.
I love how it's possible tell who is who just by the voices and lines. They don't have to say or show any names and you can still tell. ^w^ This was so great. Good job guys. :)
GREETINGS WORTHLESS HUMANS!!! I loved loved LOVED this video and my sis loves it too. GO HOMESTUCK!!! We would like you to put the lyrics in the video so we could sing it while the thing is in full screen. :D Keep it up and thank you for this awesome song. BTW My sis says I am like Jade with the smiley face...LOL
