I love the faint Moonsetter in the background that becomes more and more prevalent as the song goes on

[@vcagande7998]

It makes me sad because it feels like their happiness is temporary, they must return to realty where everything is much more messed up than they’d like it to be :(

[@liannellbeetrace6243]

Idk why but seeing karkat in the background covered in flowers, trying to listen in on the conversation, pleases me

JESUS FUCK WE ALL JOKE ABOUT THE GUY WHO IS COVERED IN FLOWERS AND CALLING IT CAMOUFLAGE BUT THE FACT ITS WORKING FOR KARKAT-

[@SoupyLenny]

@@heheheiamasuperstarwarrior9281 what if they saw him immediately but havent called him out on it yet so they could make fun of him later.

[@woodfur00]

Guys, no. The voice is definitely Dirk. Dave sounds completely different. In the self-consistent world of Homestuck that exists uniquely within my mind, this is fact, and I wish to impose this fact on others' equally valid interpretations of the same characters.

[@room___]

underrated post

[@arthurg.calixto3338]

dave voice is canonly southern

[@woodfur00]

KEEMSTAR FURSONA And you think the voice in the song sounds southern? I don't think there's enough to go on. For the record, my headcanon is that the Striders both sound way more southern when they're alone together, for reasons neither of them can explain.

[@room___]

just because dave lives in texas doesn't mean he has a texan accent.

[@erinm.2694]

We do have a cannon voice for Dave in "Let's All Rick The Heist" so that leaves only Dirk to the voice in this song

[@zosonils]

you fools. the voice clearly belongs to nepeta leijon

Eh it could be davepettasprite Idk if i spelt that right

[@zoosmell_egbert]

everyone talking about the voice: it's either Dave or Dirk's me: I personally think it's a random man saying it and it's just a sound on the soundboard

[@davsprite5201]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT SO I'M NOT ALONE ON THIS MATTER

[@gooba4079]

Zoosmell Egbert considering how it repeats I agree. (Not that humans are incapable of repetition)

[@vipp4047]

Yes

[@obsidiangarbage6741]

I think it might be that either one of them recorded it on the sound board but I don't care who, it's great either way

[@spinnorsomething]

Obsidian Garbage Maybe Dave said “Ey yo” and used his time powers to replay it.

[@Cri_Jackal]

Ohmygod the artist remembered Dirk's tattoo.

My mother listened to this song, and she said that it sounds like a pornographic movie intro song. I love her.

I wish the homestuck team didn't kill the property so hard before viz could popularize it enough to warrant spotify releases

[@pawprint1]

Same I used to love reading it but then they introduced the Prologues and HS2 and at the point it felt like the the train that was falling off the rails inevitably crashed finally. I'm still glad to sometimes find some of the soundtracks in my feed though since some of them are still pretty good in my opinion.

[@simone590]

​@@pawprint1 while a lot of the homestuck soundtrack hasnt aged well stylistically (for example, upward movement), the songs are absolutely beautifully made n the composers are/were amazingly talented

[@am-180]

karkat spying on dave and dirk out of jealousy ain't cute yall....... dude's mad because dave is happy hanging out with someone *else* that shit's nasty

[@PanBelacqua]

C'mon, it's pretty transparent that you're just ripping on it 'cause it's a canon gay ship about a main character. Plus, where'd you even get mad from? Trolls have no concept of siblings, it'd make sense if he's still foggy on the whole thing, and intimidated, or conflating the situation with ancestor-hood.

[@am-180]

+PanBelacqua bruh don't project ur shit on me, i got no problem with Davekat whatsoever. But Karkat is, very clearly, angry and upset about the whole ordeal. I'm not saying there's no reason for it, but he's jealous and that is, independently of any context, not cute like many people think it is smh 😕 why you gotta be like that

[@am-180]

+PanBelacqua PS: trolls have no concept of family but they were with Dave and Rose (siblings) for 3 years

[@PanBelacqua]

Yep! So Karkat has some measure of exposure, as a single case study. Dave interacts a lot differently with Dirk though, and has the added alteration of Dirk being the Post-Scratch version of his abusive Bro, who Karkat has presumably heard a lot about. Another valid interpretation of the scene is likely Karkat watching to make sure Dave is safe.

[@corv1d770]

PanBelacqua I agree. Plus you can't really make out his expression so assuming he's mad and jealous is a bit much. He probably is making sure all goes well. While yes spying isn't the best option it's surely done with the best of intentions and in this case it's not like it's causing any harm. Dave is his best friend above all and is also his boyfriend/quadrantmate and if he knows about bro then I understand him being cautious of dirk.

[@madman7887]

Remember that the epilogues aint canon
