this fuckin video makes me cry and has done every single time ive listened to it over the past fuckin 4 years fuck this song fuck you purpleyorshee fuck everything
Ah what a lovely song *looks at comments* I ah... yep, yeah, yeh. It's like looking at a battlefield after it's been fought: you want to help but it's already over.
When I heard Nepeta’s Friendsim theme I went, “hey, this kinda sounds like Serena-“ and then I proceeded to sob and roll around on the floor. So I went back to listen to Serenade, and then I remembered that Requited existed, and here we are!
:33 < Really, it's okay; I promise. I'm just taking a little cat nap right meow and when I wake up things will be back to the way they used to be. Gamzee will be back to normeowl, Karkitty will keep being his grumpy self, Sollux will finish programming that game, and all of us can play together again. Just don't sail off without me yet, I'll be right there.
I stumbled upon this in my 'watch again' videos. During the gigapause I sort of gave up on Homestuck, I had been obsessed with it for over a year. I just kinda found other things I liked more. I remember listening to this on repeat over and over crying my eyes out. Nepeta will always be close to my heart, heck I'm getting teary just thinking about her now. It just goes to show that even when you forget it for a while, something as like Homestuck (all its feels included) stays with you forever.
this song kinda reminds me when I first started reading homestuck, I actually gave up a little bit after I started but my friends told me to keep going, I did, and now i cannot say i regret it
I wish I had friends like that to tell me to keep reading. I think I had two false starts before I read it in earnest, with each start being months apart from each other.
What hits me hardest is that I was only able to read HS for the first time once. I don't think it's going to ever achieve the quality it had at its peak again, either.
I have even thinking the same as what you just said for weeks now- not because I saw this, but because I've been thinking the same- it's just not as good.
a Requited Serenade is a love song that is returned, the start of a relationship. Two people who love eachother enough to proclaim their love in song, True Love. sadly this song was never relased, and can only be created when mixing two songs in differnet albums. songs that never met. Songs that never will meet. A song one singer can only ever dream of, while stuck in a cave alone.
I'm feeling something different than normal sadness listening to this. I'm not sure what it is or how to describe it but it's something that only Clark Powell could make me feel. Thanks for making this mashup even if this comment is 9 years late.
Wait- so let me get this straight: The Sufferer and Disciple were lovers or matesprites, but the Sufferer’s descendants, Kankri and Karkat, have love interests with Redglare’s descendants, so does this mean that the Sufferer secretly had affections for Redglare and was that why she wore the Sufferer’s -cult- necklace? If so, does that mean that his descendants represent the Sufferer deep down who wanted to move on from loving the Leos and fell in love with the teal bloods or did the Sufferer love Redglare from the start but ended up with the Disciple because the two were different and had difficulties with trying to be together due to having separate bloods and roles?
Nelski11401 Not different timelines, just different places on the timeline. Otherwise, yeah, the Sufferer was a martyr by the time Redglare became a Neophyte.
CalianSonadora Kankri isn't The Suffer's descendant, Kankri is the pre-scratch iteration of The Sufferer. For example, B1 Jade Harley is not the descendant of B2 Grandma English. They are technically the same person, only before and after The Kids' Scratch.
+HetaliaCalifornia I'd go with something more along the lines of Redglare having met either Darkleer or Disciple during her lifetime, and as a result got introduced to the whole thing and became part of the cult or whatever. Either that, or she had heard of the Sufferer's plea and things, agreeing with his ideology, and thus joining his group. The way the Hearts work for the 3 families is Leijon -> Vantas -> Pyrope. Canonically, that's the main love triangle of the 2 groups (unless you counted Eridan -> Feferi Sollux). Why both Vantases like the Pyropes is beyond me, but Leijon's bonds towards Vantas is very much evident in and of itself. It's possible Kankri liked Latula because of her representing gender equality (in terms of gaming). As for Karkat
late, but the disciple and the sufferer had a matespritship that apparently went beyond the normal set of quadrants because it was so perfect or whatever. from the mspawiki on the disciple: "The ancestor of Nepeta Leijon, and the post-scratch incarnation of Meulin Leijon, the Disciple was the Sufferer's most devoted follower. She listened to every vision he retold, every lesson he preached, and faithfully recorded his scripture. Eventually, they became matesprits, although it was said that their relationship was more than that, going beyond the standard set of quadrants entirely." its safe to assume that the signless wasnt cheating on the disciple with a young redglare
I know this comment section is already flooded with sappy stories much like the one this introduction precedes. But, that doesn't much bother me. Though I will disclaim: this is me rambling, no specific idea or direction in mind. If it is completely incomprehensible garbage, just ignore it and move on. TW: I do end up talking about s**ual things nearer the end of the ramble-shpiel Homestuck is a story based on kids growing up too fast and dealing with the consequences. This has always stuck out to me considering my father passed when I was 10, old enough to understand what was happening, but not old enough to be able to (relatively) easily deal with it. I have always struggled with love, in particular, it felt like nobody was on my wavelength, and for good reason, I was distressed and scared. Seeing Nepeta after all this time, I saw she was everything I had wanted to be, at least on some level. Not someone who is overly confident, or any other normally considered attractive traits, excluding just being kind. She just cared about the people around her, like Equius. I've always had trouble with distancing myself from others and locking myself away, rather than talk and assist how I can. I still do most of the time. I guess that's what a Blood player sees when idolizing a Heart player huh? A sad state of being trapped in my connections almost. Like there's nowhere to go, the people I am around telling jokes that set off dysphoria and anxiety but not having a safe out. Not having a way to tell them what they're doing is harmful without fear of abandonment. All relations crumbling into just some other anxiety to hold me back, or scare me. Sometimes I just want one relationship, platonic or otherwise, to just be what I see in my head when I imagine what it would be like to actually be close to someone. To be able to talk without fear, or to be able to just cuddle on the couch and watch silly youtube videos with no sexual undertones. To be happy the way I want to be. I fucking hate the sexual nature of EVERYONE I ever begin to feel good about. Everyone is obsessed with it and it scares me. I cant deal with it but it always becomes one of the main things people talk about. Even in Homestuck, though to a lesser degree, Dave and Karkat in particular talk about sexual ideas at points. I won't say they're overdoing it or anything, just that I usually cry when reading those few pages where it happens. Let alone when the person I had truly believed to be a good candidate to be a partner. Anyways, I've been just trying to get things out into the endless void. If you've read this far, thank you. I love you, and please, find out the ways to be happier than me. Learn from mistakes. Cry when you need to.
I started homestuck in my 8th grade year. 6 years ago. A year before I moved across the country, away from my friends. This webcomic helped to shape me into the person I am today and I'm grateful for that. It gave me something to look forward to when I got home from school. It kept me going when I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, and it kept me going through the loss of friends and family. I'll never forget this silly comic.
Yes. I love this because it's so beautiful. I hate this because it's so sad. Homestuck is the only comic that made me feel like I wanted to be born at a different time. Give me Leo, give me Libra. Just please, don't give me Sagit- goddamnit...
Ok so I have known of Homestuck from its conception, but never actually got around to experiencing it. It must have been a bad case of tumblr stigma at the time. I mean 2012 wasn't an easy year to 'surf the web'. lol whatever, I have been meaning to ask, after listening to this song about 100 times in a row, is it based on a pre-existing melody or something along those lines? I could have sworn I have heard this exact chord structure once or twice before. They first time it played on an automatic playlist something clicked inside me. Both aided by the 'familiar' tune and the picture I knew I had felt that same emotion once before... and it was in perfect sync with the music. And knowing for certain it wouldn't have been in any relation to Homestuck, being that I so ignorantly staved far from it, I cannot even fathom how or why I knew what it was. And to note, I WAS using tumblr at the time so it wasn't a blatant distaste for any content garnered there, rather, in my eyes, merely an over-saturation of the base. Only in later years did I realize that what those obsess over the most is more than likely worth obsessing over. If anything can someone tell me who produced this piece? I know I can figure that out but 2nd opinions always help with this sort of thing. Coolcool. Ok one last thing, is it possible that this song -- and for reasons I can only slightly understand -- is an 'auditory emotional template'. That what I felt hearing it was predetermined by the structure of the melody (and aided by the picture because it mirrors that of which the song portrays) to make me feel that certain way? That is honestly my best lead, tell me what you think, about both things. (cool)+(cool)=(forrealineedtoknowthis).
Ok, so both Serenade and Requited are good pieces, but they feel like they're missing something...each something individual, different (for redundancy) and hard to pinpoint...it's in the fusion of the two which creates an entirely new experience. Then along with both of the pictures being overlaid it's as if it evolves into a singular tesseratic form of their former selves. Essentially granting the song a new dimensional property -- be that 5th, 6th, 13th, who's to say -- that being, the ability to, through sight and sound, instantly portray that which it defines. Which, to me, is an incredibly powerful emotion, strong enough to create memories/feelings ex nihilo. Ok I should clarify that I am 95% ignorant to Homestuck, its plot, lore and other remaining aspects, but despite that, I am fairly certain that it isn't meant to be required in order to interpret this 'pedagogical orthogona?' It might help to add that I have always, since I was first able to interpret music, been in the search for the most significant harmonized melodies. Biased by definition via my interpretation, it has incessantly been a goal of mine to maintain a neutral center-point as to which be able to base things like this off of. That being said, and this being seemingly so incredibly significant, there must be more to it. Do I know what A.Hussie meant to write(with scribbles) into the characters, do I know what the creator of both of these songs intended them to express? idfk...// it was one to one...the 'first' time I heard this the other day, my mind played right along with it like it were my anthem. And I'm not trying to accentuate its significance to me, rather its significance as a singular entity. I've never experienced irl what this song makes me feel, both the bliss and melancholy, I have always wanted to, dreamt of it, but it never happened. And that time has passed, the circumstances simply aren't possible on my timeline anymore, and that is stated in no regret. Be that as it may, I believe that's only because that's how the song fit into my subconscious. And much like the Oghma Infinium you can only do it once, and I haven't figured out how to glitch this one yet lol. Alright so here's what I'm thinking, the actual song isn't (entirely) responsible for it's affects since it is a compilation of an already existing set of waveforms. Therefore, its the product of eno....ive lost my train of thought im going to play monster hunter. Somebody please tell me this song isnt original so i can void all of this. Its the only factor that can render all of this irrelevant.
+Mettaton The robot dont ruin *homestuck* with illuminati crap? lets be real people really started associating homestuck with illuminati conspiracies which do you think would REALLY get ruined?
actually yeah i can’t believe the creators put the sound of my heart shattering like a fragile glass vase from the 17 fucking hundreds into this mashup
It hurts that it ist the current Canon that karkat isn't with nepeta. But there are numerous timeliness they are together and that makes me happy enough
:33 < DONT CRY JADE DONT CRY DONT CRY DONT CRY DONT CRY. NEPETA LITERALLY DIDNT DESERVE ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO HER ESPAWCIALLY SEEING HER MEOWIRAIL DIE DUDE EVEN 11 YEARS LATER PAWFTER THIS WAS RELEASED , IT STILL MAKES MEW CRY DUDE DD:
Nepeta is represented by the synthetic piano (keyboard, natch) The Disciple is represented the strings. They're telling each other their stories. If you listen closely, you can hear where they harmonize, and where they go back and forth, one responding to the other, eg 2:08 Nepeta 'speaks', then 2:24 The Disciple responds. They harmonize at some points, call and respond at others. I kind of really want someone to give these songs actual lyrics now.
this is my favorite of all the homestuck songs i've gone through. it has this relaxing, sorrowful, yearning quality that just makes you sigh. perfect for writing leijon fanfictions.
please promise me that once the story of homestuck ends the fandom will still be thriving? please. like literally crying thinking about the fandom disappearing.
I'm not an overemotional guy, not at all. I'm rational and opinionated, confidant, at times over-confidant and people always say they find it really hard to get through to me on a personal level, not for a lack of effort on my part. I'm just distanced and that's who I am. I will tell you now despite all that, this song makes me FEEL things to the point of wonderment and then near enough tears. Amazing piece of music.
before hearing this i used to hate equius, but now i see where he's coming from in terms of wanting to protect her from every possibility of harm at all costs
