I would like to say that PM was one of the most underestimated characters in universe, since Jack didn't consider her too much of a threat. How wrong he was.
Fun fact: The four colors of the character above (Red, Blue, Yellow and Black) all correspond to the four humors, an archaic model for human physiology whose imbalances were thought to cause sickness and relate to personality. In order of appearance. Sanguine: Blood. Evokes a social, emotional personality, which fits the Wandering Vagrant pretty well. Phlegmatic: Phlegm. These people are quiet but people oriented, like the care the Peregrine Medicant has for her friends Choleric: Yellow bile. The passionate an determined one, yet can be belligerent. The Aimless Renegade to a T. Melancholic: Black Bile. Task oriented and private, like a queen should be.
the story for this album is very cool "413 years in the future, all is devastation. Great lakes are now empty pits, sprawling cities are now rubble, and humanity is now extinct, fossilized under the endless blanket of sand that covers the Earth. However, all is not lost. Exiled to our world through gates in space and time, a few brave, carapaced individuals toil to give our planet new hope. They are... The Wanderers."
Being Armenian myself I got chills at hearing familiar tunes beginning at 0:27. And then a kickass electronic beat. I'm ashamed of myself for not checking this out when it first came out.
Love this theme. Great for any book you read involving the history of the Middle East, which I did. Just the idea of exploring something hidden, something from long ago or far in the future, something that you'd never know about even if you wandered through a desert for a century.
*_Land of Tech and Dunes_* "Nothing but sand as far as the eye can see, with the occasional tesla coils randomly protruding from the desolate sands. Several labs and homes buried beneath the golden seas, with sand-filled entrances littered here and there. The sun's blinding gaze striking down as if patrolling the lands, searching for anything that can still be scorched. The winds breeze across the lands ever so lightly as to only blow away the smallest grains of sand." "You step out of the house after entering the medium. You take your first steps onto the arid sands and immediately feel the sun's heat beating down on you, making you uneasy and dizzy. To your left, You spot an entrance to an underground passage not too far from your house., likewise, about three meters in front of you are the remains of what life used to inhabit these lands, and to your right, you spot a small circle of tesla coils indicating some form of treasure within the centre of the coils. *How do you wish to proceed?*"
+Squid Ninja 428 You withdrawal back into the comforting shade of your house. *What do you wish to do now?* (You can alchemize items in your actual home)
(Sorry for being late with this) You find grains of sand sitting comfortably in the deepest dips of your pockets, and your phone, which seems to be reverberating a lonesome tune to itself.
This is my favourite soundtrack from the album, one of my favourites of all Homestuck soundtracks. Let's not argue about the Steampunk-ness of this song and just bask on its awesomeness :D But imo this is more DesertSteampunk if that's possible lol
Do any of you even get the 'punk' genre? Sorry but, this is ridiculous. "Steam punk' and 'desert punk' are not music genres. It can sound like it, but they aren't official genres. If you wanna know what genre this is, it fits into the category,"FUCKING AWESOME." All questions aside.
I'm serious, Desert Punk is a thing. It's similar to steam punk, but it has sand dunes, scimitars, and loose linen clothing. Definitely more comfortable to cosplay.
this makes me want to go live in the desert. to be fair deserts are my favorite form of land in the first place. (i like the ocean more but it is not land)
@TheMystikalMuffin13 Oh my god, stumbling upon this in my inbox. Man, I have not thought about Bionicle in a while... Wow, this is taking me back. You have won. So hard. Respeck nuckles. *respeck nuckles* *also hugs and overjoyed happiness to find someone who also knows Bionicle and is cool enough to just aseufasdfasdf you are just so cool okay?*
This reminds me a lot of a sort of Arabian landscape, or something related to Journey (The Game). Come to think of it, the main character of Journey reminds me a lot of the exiles.
I don't thing there is a board that approves of genres or anything of the sort. So I question the validity of what you mean by "official" genre as opposed to a non-official one.
Basically an overarching and well known genere vs. a subset of that genere which is encompassed by it. Like how Muzak (or Mood) is just a subset of instrumental.
Psst, if you look up "sound test" in the homestuck subreddit, you can find a link to the 2020 Homestuck sound test, which includes a bunch of unreleased and retired tracks, including this album and Squiddles!
Sort of a mashup of victorian age (in any given country, but mostly England) and the beginning of electricity using steam engines and lots of gears ⚙ to make things work. It can be a cosplay community as seen in Gilmore Girls, a videogame theme as seen in many post apocolyptic type of games, a music genere (with many subsets for given areas of the world from these periods) such as the dessert punk used here which combines modern techno with old fashioned classic arabian style music, or even an entire way of life in a steampunk version of a renessiance fair. Trust me they exist. It's one of those overarching things that basically encompasses everything within it's given parameters. Like Homestuck itself, which is a comic, a book, a videogame, an animation, and an original music score all tied into one messy newspaper and twine wrapped package.
