Richaad, does Toby still suck?

[@PersonalZombie]

no matter what your opinion on the webcomic, Homestuck's music team did do some sick musical flips at an olympic level and they landed all of them. Best webcomic soundtrack. Possibly the only webcomic with a soundtrack.

I'm just gonna copy paste this for this unfamiliar with Homestuck: While Homestuck is officially a webcomic, it's a bit hard to put it in just one category. Some pages had sound, some had animations, some were literally short animated films, and some were little videogames you played. It's... complicated, but you should definitely check it out. If you're going to check it out, though, there are some things you should consider: -It's very fucking long. Like, 10.000 pages long. -The begining is infamously slow, as the comic started as a way for the author (Andrew Hussie) to showcase his weird postmodern humor. It takes a while before the actual plot starts (but everything that happens in the first pages is canon, and it never stops being important). -The comic started as a collaborative intercative thingie. People would submit prompts (like, "Charater X: Take the towell") and if they weren't outrageous the auhor would make Character X take the towel (as a reference to old-school text adventure games). The comic is divided into "Acts", and this lasted until early Act 4, before Hussie got tired and realized the plot was to convoluted to be left on the fans' hands, so he closed the submision box. This is one of the reason the first Act has a very non-sensical sense of humor. -It has a shitton of references to Hussie's previous work, which you can find on the same website Homestuck is hosted in (www.mspaintadventures.com). However, it's not necessary to read these in order to understand the comic. You know, after writing all of this, it kinda sounds like reading Homestuck is not a very good idea. However, I would still recomend it: the plot is good, the characters are (mostly) good, the music is *awesome* (as this video shows) and by the end of it, you casn't do anything but be amazed at Hussie's ability to mantian such a complex plot. ...oh, what is it about? That's a bit hard to describe. It's a science-fantasy comic about some kids who play a videogame that can manipulate reality. However, things get out of hand fast, and before you realize you've got aliens, demons, monsters, a 50 character cast and time travel. You should definitely check it out, just... take it easy: www.mspaintadventures.com/ /rant

[@AmbiambiSinistrous]

Fir413 Thanks for this explanation. I never knew anything about Homestuck except that it had a massive fandom and was probably a high quality work. I actually thought it was a video game until this haha...

[@voidnoidoid]

It’s changed to homestuck.com

[@Atrere]

Basically, Homestuck kind of feels like the beginning of a creepypasta if you're starting it now. You may have heard about breastfeeding juggalo expies of Rasputin. You may have heard that it somehow led to the existence of Undertale. You may have even been around on tumblr when Homestuck fans tried to convince everyone that it was an anime. And then you start reading it, and it's just some dumbass kid fucking around with videogame abstractions and the narrative is vaguely messing with you for daring to read it. But A does lead, eventually, to B. Shit gradually gets more and more complex and insane, and by the end of it all, you "get" Homestuck. And now YOU'RE trapped in the weird position of not quite being able to explain what in the fuck it is.

[@arisenspirit]

10,000 pages long is an exaggeration. It's merely around 9,500 but I honestly haven't counted in a while

[@arisenspirit]

Actually it's exactly 8,130 pages not counting the epilogue. The other couple thousands come from the other comics such as problem sleuth which is close to 2000 I think

[@SteltieLikesCookies]

[@marcosm6346]

so epic XD

[@craytherlaygaming2852]

it just goes to shoe even awesome pieces of music can be made even more awesome by the right people

[@Billyblue98]

It's definitely more powerful, gets you more pumped But I feel like it loses something in this composition. . . (In some cases more literally than others) Heir of Grief has some beautiful moments where the music sort of. . . well in one instance it calms (and this cover just basically completely axes the best part of that segment) and in other cases it has a somber undertone that the power of the guitar just fails to match. It's too strong, too energetic.

[@thatoneundertalefanatic]

​@@Billyblue98 i feel like while it loses something,it also brings something new. The somberness and melancholy of the original is replaced with a feeling of hatred and despair.

[@diggory4ii385]

Skylightwings If you ever become a homesyuck, here are just a few Warnings/Tips: It is long. 8000 pages long. It is M for Mature. You need flash on your computer. And the first Act has a kind of entirely different sense of humour and structure compared to the rest of the webcomic. You will want some music in the backround. Luckily, there are homestuck albums on bandicamp, and a radio by luminentaegis on youtube. Just make sure to pause it during pages with [S] in the title. The [S] stands for sound, and either means you are about to watch a cutscene, or play a flash game.

[@Timeflow_X]

This. Is beautiful. Thank you for making this great theme even better.

[@Evolu]

This is my favorite Homestuck track and I'm so happy you covered it oh my god. It sounds incredible!!

[@evo683]

Why, cuz the song it’s based off of is based off of the theme of the character in your PfP?

[@Sinono3]

The instant I read the title I screamed.

[@smolmuffin]

I still come back to this one, one of my fav HS tracks of all time and this cover lifts the emotions UP

[@GessRrr]

So freaking good, you are amazing

[@chainsawguyyy]

The sound that lasts from 3:04 to 3:30 is heavenly

[@Coolnerd89]

This cover sounds better than the original. And the original was fantastic.

[@azraehl4194]

THANK YOU GOD for a live version of a bad ass song from a web comic NO ONE wants to cover. Bad ass man thank you so much! You did it complete justice! Awesome!

[@CherrySteinz]

Heir of Grief is by far the most beautiful track in all of Homestuck's discography

[@BenjiPrinceMushroom]

Honestly, Heir of Grief is such a beautiful piece. You've done it an incredible justice with this cover; fantastic job my dude.

[@KiaFeather]

I can't believe you made a track that was already poppin, and made it just as spectacular. (Also thanks for the Homestuck nostalgia!)

[@tabbender1232]

Oh my god this is awesome

[@witchywanda666]

Holy sheeeeit out of all the Homestuck songs, I am so glad you covered this one. it's ... I-its beautiful *sob*

[@AxionZetaOne]

What is that squeaking/sliding noise in the opening? I know a lot of guitarists use it, even professional bands, but it's always made my skin crawl.

[@faxmachine1162]

Axioanarchist that my dude, is known as a harmonic. It is caused (if I am speaking correctly, which I’m likely not) by lightly pressing the string in a different tab based on the string. Most guitarists have different places they are able to do it as well.

[@RichaadEB]

it's literally the noise of my fingers sliding against the strings being amplified. It's not really intentional but it is a neat effect.

[@AxionZetaOne]

RichaadEB ah that makes sense. I know I have a weird sensitivity to high pitched noises so that's likely why its so unpleasant to me, but I was always curious what caused it and why almost every rock and metal guitarist I've ever heard did it at least once.

[@nonu_2o9]

Homestuck has the best webcomic soundtrack that better than some video games CHANGE MY MIND!!!!!!
