HOMESTUCK: [S] feline CARNIVAL

Just a small feline carnival.
Fourth of my animations.
This one made for practice in action and talking, in other words, anything with plot and... eh, i guess kinda works.
16 minute of pure animation + Exlusive one minute of credits.
I hope that's not too bad for someone who was already animating for an entire year?

Nepeta broke the one of the big rules of Homestuck, she looked away from the body.

[@zontraxz9910]

this is probably the best piece of homestuck media I've seen since rex duodecim angelus. It's so fucking good It's canon for me now

[@TeeTiro]

you made nepeta’s a LOT more painful…liking

[@higztv1166]

Oh yeah! Finally Nepeta's death is not stupid! But seriously, this is the most awesome piece of homestuck content i've ever seen It's getting better and better

[@Feasco]

I mean if you think getting choked out while bleeding to death after getting the shit kicked out of her for over 5 minutes is preferable to a quick bludgeoning

[@spotty530]

it wasn’t stupid, gamzees rage powers just made him powerful enough to compete with vriska's god tier and eridan's science wand. nepeta couldn’t fight that, at least not in that timeline. but i am glad to see this interpretation of the strife giving her the chance to fight back

[@higztv1166]

@@spotty530 I don't think anyone has ever explained what rage powers are

[@CertifiedShulkSimp]

@@higztv1166 Bit late to this but I personally think rage powers basically amplifies your physical strength many times fold. It's kinda like when you're angry you get stronger because of adrenaline levels spiking, just think of that but on steroids.

[@goon9913]

the map and diary in the intro the dialogue gamzees fingers getting bitten off its all the little details that fill this animation with pure soul

[@weirdfrikicj7389]

This is so good, it gives Nepeta more personality and character in just a few minutes qwq

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

We all knew how this would end but it’s nice to think how Nepeta can and would put up an actually good fight against Gamzee. Also using Gamzee using Nepeta’s own arm to chock her to death going in line with Nepeta’s aspect is honestly kind of disturbing.

[@Madisongs]

Oh my gosh, a 17 minute Homestuck animation on my birthday? What a gift!

[@jayfuror3892]

Really cool! I always wanted to see what Nepeta vs Gamzee would have looked like as a full-out fight. Definitely awesome work for only a year of animating! If you don't mind a little critique, I think for your next one you should try experimenting with more facial expressions- a lot of the time in this one, it seemed like the characters (especially Nepeta, imo) didn't really emote much, which meant the same facial expression when she's furious and enraged at Gamzee, as when she was joking around with Equius. I think if you really nailed the facial expressions, you'd take your work to a whole other level! Keep at it, excited to see what you make next. :)

[@jeffscrungle6179]

I love this version of the story, in the original Nepeta goes down like such a chump, in this one she actually puts up a fight, I love Nepeta and Equius and I wish they had more screen time in the original, thank you for making this.

[@jeffscrungle6179]

Bonus fan theory: I imagine Nepeta didn't make it far as the rogue of heart because the aspect of heart is about the self and working on yourself but Nepeta was always focusing on shipping **others** and that severely limited her ability to embody her aspect and gain power from it, where as Gamzee had the rage inside him all along.

[@lessecretsdepokemon2375]

nepeta and equius, i love them so much

[@CaltosVirnam]

Gamzee when his blood is pouring out: Nice opinion, but one problem, clown armour.

[@Feasco]

You can't keep the clown down

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

@@Feasco You can’t kill clown. Clown kills you.

[@PantaroParatroopa]

Excellent animation, but I feel like the camera movement is a bit much at times. I got dizzy a couple times.

[@Deathstorm501]

This is an amazing rendition of this scene. Also I hatelove your Gamzee and he will live forever in my nightmares as is proper.

[@drosera68]

Bro went from The Joker to Jeff the killer in the same scene

[@SnowCatKroe]

Really love how that shard of glass made Gamzee's mouth gape open, it made his appearance go from eerie to really disturbing! You do really great work! Thank you!

[@qingcinnamon8294]

Wonderful animation, just crying

[@KarolKaru]

this is SO fucking cool holy shit!!!! the goodbye hit hard,,,, the VA's did an incredible job the "ouch!" at 7:01 is a complete mood shift for like 10 seconds, incredibly homestuck :D THE SCREENS FLICKERING IN THEIR COLOURS!!!! im rewatching your stuff and having watched the prince vs mage one, im tbh fascinated by the design you gave the meteor, in comic it seems so empty and vast bc its top down, filling it up with so much stuff in the ceiling and hanging wires and random atmospheric screens makes it so interesting THE FUCKING JOKER SMILE1?!??!?!?!?? HOLY SHIT THATS TERRIFYING I LOVE IT SHEEEE she took a scoop out like his stomach was an ice cream tray what the fuuuuucc NEPS MONOLOGUE AT THE END,,,,, ILL CRY BRUH. i. this is absolutely not meant as an insult of any kind but i find your animation style a bit uncanny, at least for how humanoid im used to the trolls looking, but that works so well here bc gamzee is FUCKING HORRIFYING HOLY FUCK MAN kanaya at the end

[@lunarskygacha9036]

I thought this would be a happier timeline... Although, atleast now we know Nepeta fought back, unlike Equius. But ey, she did it to avenge the death of someone she deeply cared for. And in the end, she'll be known as a hero in the HS community for this.

[@ScorpionsFatality]

WOW!!! This... this is so good!!! For a second i was curious if this was older but wow i am impressed regardless!! I've been in the fandom since the beginning and i never thought anyone would make something like this! You did wonderfully!!

[@neptunosole9535]

I just...I DONT- I love this so much you have no idea, the fight was awesome, the animation, the voice acting it was so good I can't-

[@breedreemurr1402]

Equius my beloved

[@notafbiagent473]

This has no right to be 17 minutes and also be entirely animated

[@dyingstar24]

Holy shit a quarter of the way through and I'm loving this! But equius' armpits are sorta bugging me...

[@syweb2]

Cool video. I loved the writing and atmosphere, though the lip-synching is off most of the time. Also, a lot of the movements were kind of floaty - Nepeta's walk after her "victory" was especially noticeable. The models were really good, but I feel like Gamzee's mouth was too... small? round? It didn't look like it had "corners" like mouths typically do, though it may have something to do with the male characters in this lacking visible lips.

[@higztv1166]

1:27 there's someone walking in the background

[@elementallobsterx]

Even though Gamzee was massively downplayed in the fight itself, this animation is AWESOME, as were the others on this channel.

[@Ice-wu8qq]

To be fair, Nepeta spent her time in the Medium fighting along Equius, whilst Gamzee was drugged out on slime pie and chilling with imps, she's probably at the max of her echeladder while Gamzee is not, unless the head knockoff of the king somehow boosted him there, unlikely.

[@elementallobsterx]

@@Ice-wu8qq good point actually. I just think that due to Gamzee’s association with L0rd English, he has some kind of causality-like buff that makes him way stronger than he should be. I think his toon force-like power in the narrative comes from LE in a sort of meta way.

[@Ice-wu8qq]

@@elementallobsterx I'm pretty sure that's what happened at the very end. He immediately got faster as soon as he got "revived"

How did Gamzee not die to death after getting so many giblets clawed out? Is he just running on rage at this point? I don't remember him being a zombie...

He was just inmortal, but i dont remember why. i think it was something to do with lil cal and lord english

No reason. Literally no reason. "He is an evil clown in a story and they never die, for no good reason, and it's complete bullshit" is the official description by Hussie. In-universe Hussie, i mean, maybe the fact Hussie pretends there is no reason is also part of the joke.

Takin alooooooot of liberties Friend.. also i think you need to learn some basic anatomy... Good effort though I'm cheering you on! but why didn't you give Equies the fight scene neither of them had? Nepeta was a hunter/assassin AKA "GLASS CANNON" if the first strike dose not kill stealth is gone = she is dead. not even to mention Gamzees Enhanced strength as a high blood.

[@silverpond9889]

Bro, she's not a glass Canon. She's raised to hunt shit to SURVIVE. She's suppose to take damage as olives are KNOWN to be "tanks". they are literally the fighting class in alternian war. Plus, it's in character for him to die like that. The whole reason he died in the comic is cus he couldn't get over his highblood complex.
