The only way I can link Cobalt Theif's "Please help him" and Indigo Heir's "S.O.S" is that Vriska probably knew of Gamzee's sober state and wished nothing bad happens to Equius.
I think that Vriska was asking someone to help John. and the S.O.S code could be that Equius desperately wants someone to help him and nepeta due to how the morse code sometimes gets frantic at the end and how it suddenly cuts off possibly means that he doesn't want Gamzee finding them through that signal.
D--> Despite my STRENGTH, I sometimes wonder if I am my own master...or just a t001 for others. With my fairly high position in the hemospectrum--e%cluding the highbloods and seadwellers--I felt as if I had nothing to fear. I am STRONG, after all. But perhaps there are things that not even a thousand musclebeasts could overpower...and they reside within my own mind. My fears, my passions...and the fact that I am a slave to it all. D--> Nepeta, Aradia...I'm sorry. I was like a f001ish young foal in life. Perhaps it is for the best that every bow I string brea%.
also, maybe the sos is because equis could be considere "emotionally broken", symbolized by his broken shades. It's like a semi-metaphorical cry for help.
RU-vid made it so the song was still playing but the image was just blackness instead. For a moment I thought that this was done on purpose for void haha
Equius did not deserve the treatment he got in canon. In truth he was a sweet sweaty horse man who cared for others but was inhibited by a system of blood that he was raised to believe in.
lets be honest with equius' superior STRENGTH he could've killed gamzee when he got close its just that equius always went by blood color thats why when he died he was smiling because a higher blood killed him
+Karkat Vantas gamzee was tapping his class's powers. In terms of raw physical strength equius would almost definitely turn him to paste. And if equius had ever realised the potential of his own class just imagine what an heir of void could do. Easily the generally strongest class that isn't a master class (prince comes with too many downsides, witch as far as we're shown is like an heir but with a few less abilities and pages NEVER EVER realise even the tiniest smidge of their potential unless someone cheats) and the second most potentially devastating aspect after hope, with the bonus that the combination would allow him to turn into void defencively, which is kind of the ultimate protection. He's probably the single best example, if anything, of what went "wrong" in the troll session- They were all so overpowered to start with that they never developed as the game intended them to, or he very well might have become truly the STRONGest troll.
***** I don't think there's a class that's simply the most powerful, which is why I said "generally." Aspect clearly matters a great deal as well because of how class and aspect synergise- Most Princes for instance have it pretty bad because their aspect is broken within them, and they are dangerous to their sessions because their abilities and inclinations are so volatile, but imagine a Prince of Doom, with the Doom within him broken and the ability to destroy Doom. On the other hand we've seen how a Prince of Hope goes. And then classes like Sylph have more support roles, which can be integral but when discussing hypothetical 1-on-1 fights makes them inherently a bit less useful than other players. But in general Heirs appear to have the most diverse and practical range of abilities (manipulation of their aspect similar to witches, the ability to directly defend and hide themselves with their aspect, weaponisation like knights and their own specific ability, which is to "become" their aspect, as seen when John turns into air during his fight with Bec Noir in the dream bubbles). And because of the latter ability an Heir of Void (like Equius) would synergise particularly well- At that point they're probably safe from anything that isn't a Seer of Void or something. No matter how powerful an attack Gamzee could pull out of his ass, it wouldn't matter against an enemy that could just decide not to be there while he's attacking. I also really don't think Aradia could "tear everyone else apart easily," all of the god tiers are absurdly powerful and her only class-specific ability seems to be the time-lock thing. As for Gamzee, all we know in terms of power level is that he POSSIBLY did more "single-attack" damage than Vriska against a presumably stationary target, and that in a group with only one godtier their attacks were the most powerful. That's still impressive, of course, especially given he was not a godtier himself, but it still leaves a lot of hypotheticals open by which Equius could have defeated him in a "fair" fight. Which is a moot point anyway because they would never have a fair fight because Gamzee's blood is purple and Equius respected that. Anyway sorry for hitting you with a phd dissertation on homosuck power levels here, this shit is pretty much my replacement for morning coffee
He was my least favourite troll up until that arc, in the pages leading up to his death he rocketed to like #4. Then I'm a massive sucker for heroic deaths on top of that, and characters who are plagued by an irrational sense of duty. On the other hand my favourite troll had a really shitty and arbitrary death. At least she came back and (possibly) died a much more heroic death the second time around
Ppl say he smiled when he died because it was his kink but I'd much rather think of it as him being glad that his morail ( nepeta) or anyone else didn't see him dying like a weakling and that he would stay 'strong' in their memories :'/
Crudder McRubber Many of these "coloUrs and mayhem" tracks were repurposed: for example, Cobalt Thief's Morse code is Serenity asking "help him" - that is, the mayor, stabbed by Noir - so I think that's what's going on here, too.
D--> I often think of better times, until I recall that there are no better times for me. D--> I agree that I am no more than a slave to all that wish to rule me. D--> It is for the best that I did not continue to play, did not make it to Godtier. D--> I w001d still have been useless.
Equius Zahhak If he went god tier, he would've gotten overpowered. He will be invincible. The ability to turn into nothing and turn others into nothing. Make yourself nothing and not get hit, and turn others into nothing and they'll die. Or turn nothing into something, like Roxy.
I think the two morse blips by eq and vris are two different situations. Eq is saying SOS because he is in the afterlife and needs help out. Vris is saying please help him as in Tavros. Even though she killed him, I still believe vris liked "helping" Tavros become stronger
3 year late reply but i dont care in the one that isnt extended, the beeps dont stop, they carry on until the end. the music actually fades out instead
Now I feel like three comments on a video is spamming, and I'm sorry, but I think it's worth pointing out that the beeps about midway through, although they sound musical, are actually SOS in morse code.
aliena28898 Well I got up to date with the story near the beginning of the Gigapause, so that was nice. Fortunately I never got spoiled on what would happen, yet I must admit Homestuck's sub-reddit is not for people who have just started Homestuck.
aliena28898 It's just Reddit. I don't really understand myself, but sub-reddit is just a name for a community in Reddit. The point is, Homestuck's Reddit page is actually really fun and interesting. If you're up to date I recommend going there. It's just a gathering of people talking about Homestuck.
My biggest question is, if this song was for Equius, why is it played for Horuss? I understand Dancestors and all, but they’re still two different characters.
Yeah well, in the little game where you can play as him, this is the music that plays while you're him. Equius' theme sounds much different. It's filled with horse sounds. Unless horses have learned how to play piano in the meanthime, this is Horuss' theme.
I feel a STRONG connection to this song, maybe from Equius being my patron troll, but I have also felt a connection to Dark Carnival, Cobalt Thief, and Karkat's theme... I'm going crazy aren't I, because Gamzee is my sign troll, I was born on the 8th, and Karkat is my Cross troll.... i literally have no real connection to any of the other songs... help me •-•
