[S] Rex Duodecim Angelus

Years in the making, we bring you [S] Rex Duodecim Angelus, the epic tribute to Malcolm Brown's musical masterpiece. Thanks to the efforts of dozens of artists we can finally show you what really went down when the trolls of Alternia clashed with the monstrous Black King of Derse on the crumbling Battlefield at the center of Skaia.
And even if that stuff was completely incomprehensible to you, this animation is sure to pique your interest if you have even a cursory interest in spectacular cartoon battles. If that's the case, be sure to head on to www.mspaintadventures.com and start reading Homestuck TODAY, which at the time of writing is in fact the FOUR EARTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the start of the Alternian saga!
Come visit us in this thread on the MSPA Forums: mspaforums.com/...
For the song itself, navigate to the Alterniabound album on Homestuck's Bandcamp located here:

[@absoluteatrocity4019]

@@caprisces6139 When watching this video over a year ago i saw a comment that explained Tavros' roll perfectly. He's a page. At this time in the comic it was widely thought that pages were support classes. Jake's super strong hope power aura and whatnot kinda eschews the whole passive page thing but it still stands. Pages are a male only class and in Homestuck male characters are usually more passive and supportive in comparison to female character. Take a mediator and passive character like Karkat compared to someone like Aradia or Vriska who both not only god tiered but pushed the story froward in many ways. Tavros played a supporting roll to the rest of his party the way a page would. Tavros filled his roll perfectly as a page. His roll may not have been as flashy or dynamic as Vriska, Kanayas, or even Nepeta but he still filled an important roll.

Yes, I'm aware that it is a thing that exists, but what I'm saying is that until several months ago there appears to have been little to no existence of that meme, whilst titanic came out in the late 90s.

It's really in character •Eridan's slight hesitation of aiming at Sollux before aiming at the king •That 'elegant and deadly beauty' to Kanaya that goes really well with her character and the music (also remembering that she has a wadrobifier) •Vriska being badass. Nuff said •Vriska marking out 'The End' and using her quirk. •that awesome scene of the mirages of the ancestors next to their descendants. •Those last two finishing panels with all the character- you really nailed the way they acted

Is there any easy way? Thank you to whoever responds!

[@LexGlad]

So this is a 3 turn battle. Turn 1 is the trolls dealing with trash mobs. Aradia deflects the kings 1st attack. On her 2nd turn, Terezi notices that it's a turn based battle and fits as many attacks into a single turn as she can. Everyone takes their turns, and the kings attack wipes out everyone but Virska. Vriska makes a single lucky attack that ends the boss fight.

[@CubedCubone]

I feel like Hussie is forcing us to like Vriska. This is confirmed to be canon by Hussie, but still. People give Vriska too much credit. Aradia did most of the work by saving them ALL, she stopped the vast glub a million times and they would've died if it wasn't for her.

I can imagine that. You're playing on a team and you're losing, there's like 20 seconds left, then next thing you know, your one squad member is gone "Where the fuck is Makara?!" The next thing you hear: "Gamzee is unkillable!" You look at the scoreboard, and Gamzee has like fucking 30 kills in 20 seconds, and he just like walks into camp covered in blood and holding a severed head and is all like: "WhAt's uP My bRoThEr?" And your face is Karkat's at that moment. That expression of shock and "THE FUCK HAPPENED?"

He’s actually good at fighting, people just say he’s weak because he never wins, which is due to the curse he activated at the beginning of Hivebent

[@weirdcaster1679]

the curse literally ended the universe, so it prob was still functioning. it only wears off at Karkat vs. Clover, due to Clover's luck essentially being leeched to cover Karkat's curse

[@literallyn01imp0rtant]

Yeah but it spoils a lot that’s supposed to come for Act 5 Act 2, namely Vriska’s god tier reveal and Gamzee’s dark side if you’re a Homestuck newbie. However, I completely agree if you’ve already read through it once.

Oh I didn't notice Mettaton's theme but yes. Vriska and Sans share the theme song "Megalovania" Toby Fox's first version of the song was created for a character named Dr. Andonuts in his Halloween hack for Earthbound. Then he made a different version of the song for Vriska (And also composed several other pieces of music for HS) and then finally he created another version for Sans in his latest rpg, Undertale :>

[@theultimatedonut]

Terezi was definitely not responsible for Gamzee's attack on the King. Karkat explicitly stated that nobody knew where it came from. Why would you blatantly contradict canon like that? This just completely ignores the fact that Gamzee is a total wild card and gives Terezi credit for something she didn't do.

[@Rin-qj7zt]

i see no indication she knew anything. all i saw was something along the lines of 'get off your lazy ass and help us'.

[@theultimatedonut]

Wulframm Rolf The Mind symbol implies that she foresaw Gamzee's flipout, which blatantly contradicts canon.

[@Rin-qj7zt]

Mark Margarine maybe, it's more likely she was seeing that if he didn't help they would lose. it doesn't necessarily mean she saw the outcome of her own decision to throw it at him. in fact i'm not even sure she even can see the future of her own choices. It makes more sense that she concluded they would need everyones help and that this fool of a clown needed to pitch in. his freakout would be classified under the result of her choices not his so she would still be surprised by his reaction.

[@theultimatedonut]

Wulframm Rolf She can absolutely see the results of her decisions. Remember the alt timeline where Vriska went off to fight Bec Noir? Terezi knew that if Vriska left, Noir would follow her trail back to the lab and kill all the remaining trolls.

[@Rin-qj7zt]

Mark Margarine yes i remember that she saw the results of vriskas decisions.

[@stan8479]

One of my favorite little details that doesn't seem to get noticed by others is that the coin Terezi throws has its eyes scratched out. Obviously, it refers to Terezi's own blindness, but what I like about it in this particular context is that the moment it lands, Terezi blinds the Black King.

The cool thing is, Karkat doesn't even have any special powers of any kind, yet he still charges in first, and lands the first, while weak, still a hit, which leaves an imprint on the boss.

[@carnoyoutubeman]

His power is to be all up in a ranchorous mood all the time

[@Unclaimed_Username]

Naw next to Vriska, Karkat was probably exploiting his aspect the most even if not a god-tier. A knight exploits his aspect for offense and defense, and blood represents bonds. Karkat being the leader and drawing "First blood" is probably the best thing he could have done as a leader. Because if HE can do it, so can they.

[@gressorialNanites]

Can we talk about how he *drew* first blood? He was first, and *drew* the Blood aspect symbol on the King. With blood. You don't get to be more hardcore than that.
