i was NOT expecting the VOCALS in a HOMESTUCK song but holy shit

[@justinemcgraw6634]

This song made me choke up. Not just because of the obvious... Remember that, before the scratch, all of the ancestors. Signless, Handmaid, Summoner, Psiionic, Disciple, Dolorosa, Redglare, Mindfang, Darkleer, GHB, Dualscar, Condesce... Once upon a time, all of these individuals were friends. They committed mass suicide together, for fuck's sake. Sure, they have their conflicts, but FUCK. They were sessionmates. And because of Lord English, all that was blown away. The worst part? Post scratch Kankri REMEMBERED his past life. That's right. His death was ordered by some of the people who were once his friends. Horuss killed Kankri and exiled Meulin. Meenah tortured Mituna until he died in the Vast Glub. Kurloz killed Cronus. Cronus killed Porrim. Rufioh killed Aranea. Aranea killed Latula. These former friends tore eachother apart. And for what? Some cosmic video game? I wonder what would happen if they met their pre scratch counterparts...

You know, there was a little thread down the page saying that Hussie said this is Kankri's voice, and while that might not be true, and probably isn't, I just want it to be his voice, cause the song conveys so much emotion and beauty, that if Kankri was singing it, it would explain a lot about him. I mean, if we knew that Kankri had a song like that bottled up inside him, we could figure that maybe Porrim likes him because she knows that deep down, maybe he's not that bad. Just my silly thoughts.

I'd like to think, in some far-off timeline, everything is fine. Like, no bloodcastes, nothing like that for the trolls. Everyone would be okay.

[@f4t4l1st1c]

As long as Lord English has influence over the Troll race, there is no freedom. Not even Beforus is safe.

[@f4t4l1st1c]

@Frana Lord English still influenced Beforus. Feferi was raised in Alternia, where Doc Scrach took over everything, and raised her in those circumstances, where it is heavily imprinted in her mind that she has the most power, the most influence. With that in mind, you can imagine why Feferi has the idea of blood castes still implanted in her systems, what-with the lower class coddling, and the higher castes looking down at the lower castes as if they are weak. In fact, you could argue that "Doc Scratch" had strong influence over their timeline, because of how the lower trolls were raised to become much weaker, to be easily picked off when the higher castes got their right to murder back. Lord English has influence over the whole game, even, because of how without him, no initiative would have been taken for anyone to try to bring a stop to him, therefore, no one is reaching full potential in a game that is meant for their destiny. No Beforan game would take place without him. Without the Condesce existing on the Beta Timeline's Earth, we would have no influence from Lord English at all, and clown clones would not exist, meaning John would not play the game, and Roxy and Dirk would not exist in the future that they did. Without Lord English there is no game, therefore, Beforus is under control, but it had failed, because they had been coddled to uselessness. They were only good for the army, where they could be picked off as a distraction for Tavros, Aradia, Meenah, and Davepetasprite^2 so that they could keep Lord English contained until the doomed Calliope could do her thing. Lord English has influence over every session in Homestuck, and even now, I still believe that he is involved with Earth C, based on the Snapchat stories we were provided with, showing how Caliborn was still sending them snaps. Hell, the battle that had been presented in claymation made by Caliborn did not happen in the Canon of Homestuck, and that means that it is going to happen, and Earth C will belong truly to Caliborn once our heroes lose.

I don't mean like "he brings me ice cream when I'm sad" or "he makes phone calls for me", I mean things like he taught me the meaning of consent after I had let myself be abused for years and he protected me from people trying to disrespect my boundaries, he taught me that how my body feels matters too and it matters a lot, when I finally caved in to the soul crushing poverty I was facing and I asked him to please pull off a miracle to bring us money, he made us middle class off of only one income, he was the sole person who insisted I did not need to work because of my mental health and he defended that vehemently no matter how persistent people around me got about me being unemployed, he helped me to quit smoking and to enjoy exercise again and taking care of myself and cleaning my surroundings rather than rotting in garbage, he introduced me to our religion that has utterly changed my life (he has been Hindu his entire life, and now I am Hindu, as is our son), he taught me how to love and cherish nature just like I did as a child and to not see the world as a doomed hell hole, he helped me to swear into pacifism after a lifetime of violence, both coming from me and being done to me, because as they say, violence begets violence; every song or movie I've ever cherished and hoped and wished to have a special memory attached to, he's given me a memory with every single one, he literally I swear pulled off magic to get me the exact promise ring I wanted and is now designing our engagement ring, he made me a mother again after I had given up entirely on it after my son died because he KNEW that's not how I really felt, and he was so right, because being a mother is my calling and our son is the most beautiful gift I've ever been given at all, he's shown me cosmic events like a freaking fireball meteor that was so big it made a sonic boom and last year on the day of the strawberry moon he ate strawberries and kissed me after we watched it together to surprise me (i was like, wtf? You taste like strawberries in tonight of all nights!), he showed me how to defend myself against others using my mind rather than brute force and it actually worked WAY better than when I was just violent, even before we were together he saw me having a severe self destructive episode and he saw the people taking advantage of me, and he knew there was no talking me out of it so he quietly went one by one to each person and he forced them out of my life, which saved my life because half of them went to prison short after that and one of them was trying to sell me into a human trafficking ring, he helped me to love my body whether I'm thin or I'm fat, he helped protect me from my violent family and showed me how I could safely retaliate because he knew how painful it was for me watching them always get away with it, hes an AMAZING father and treats him like our little prince (the name he picked out for our son even means prince and his middle name means divine) and he treats me like his queen, he calls me his Parvati and I call him my Shiva, he's lured hummingbirds and lightning bugs into flying so close to me, closer than they ever have in my life, he was a total super hero with our son as a baby and now helps me with my infant niece (and he as usual is just...magical with her and always knows what to do), when I was at the hospital crying my eyes out he was like, "come here" because I had ran outside to cry alone, he lead me inside and our song Lady in Red was playing, somehow he knew that it was going to play...my hobbies that he doesn't at all understand he always learns about and indulges in them just for me (like...he even designed me a kinlist, he'd never seen these shows or video games before me, but he learned for me just to do that), he's taught me how to meditate and recite mantras and (I know not everyone believes this but keep in mind we are devout Hindus) he even helped me to open my heart chakra which was an utterly euphoric feeling, where it hit me like the waves of the ocean how utterly loved I truly am, he did my makeup for me and somehow designed it to look like a shining blue butterfly and I didn't even notice until later when I was crying because I felt so ugly and then I realized I had a beautiful glistening butterfly right on my face and didnt know it, when I had dressed up really goth one day and had a group of people make me feel hideous and I went off to cry he showed me where a beautiful golden orb weaver spider was and showed me that me and the spider are so similarly beautiful and that spiders represent creation, beauty and womanhood, when he protected me from every man who made me uncomfortable no matter what it was he had to do, whether that was to be so funny that the men had no idea what to do anymore and I was so tickled pink I wasn't scared anymore or whether he had to be ferocious, he always did and does what he had to do, he is the sole reason I am no longer petrified in fear and utter hatred of men, he took me outside and somehow he knew I was going to pick up this one big leaf and underneath it was a beautiful silver flower he had left waiting for me, he made us a beautiful playlist for me to listen to whenever I start thinking he doesn't love me, and he listened to so many songs that I like in order to create that playlist, he told me in Hindi "I will love you until every star in the sky burns", which is a part of a beautiful ancient love poem, and he told me that as a surprise, knowing I would later find the full thing...there's so much more, so, so much more...but he's always gone so far out of his way to do anything I ask or don't even ask, he just knows what I want and need, that I swear it feels like he bends time and space around me. And my stupid borderline personality disorder and paranoid personality disorder are always insisting to me to run, to fight, to chase him away from me, and I resist these urges so hard it feels like I'm bleeding from my heart because as he will with me, I will love him until his very soul and essence cease to exist, and even then I will keep loving him, but sometimes I crack...I accuse him of doing things that I know good and damn well he would never do, I get angry and accusatory because of something small that my brain turns into meaning something bad...but he doesn't stop loving me, he doesn't stop trying, he has never become angry or frustrated with me over this, it only makes him sad or worries him. The only time he has expressed anger was at the people who had hurt me. I hate that I act this way, and he is so sweet and understanding of this, so selfless and endlessly loving and kind...I cannot stop crying, I feel so stupid for it but the sound of this song reminds me so much of him, the feeling of selfless, endless, patient love and understanding the song emanates...it reminds me of him so much. I love him dearly, and I wish my brain would stop trying to force me to sabotage this beautiful relationship that is beyond my wildest dreams, where we dance under the stars and he performs beautiful Hindu rituals for me to understand the beauty of our religion, where we raise the most beautiful son in the universe together...I love him, and I always will, and I'll never stop trying to heal, as he has helped me to do these past two years, so that I can give him the trust and love that he deserves. He is my superman -- he loves when I call him that. And it's so corny but sweet, but when I asked, well what's your kryptonite, he said "if you stop loving me. That would be my kryptonite".

[@aishidove]

this comment is so beautiful, i hope you guys grow old together and are able to have the best life possible

[@OhJasonOh]

Tl;dr?

[@skullsandcottoncandy9155]

oddly enough, my favorite off the album. One of my favorite songs from Homestuck of all time. There's something so wonderful about it that I can't even begin to describe.

[@EnergeticLord]

I have so much to say about this- I have so many different visions with this song- But for now all I will say is that this song makes me so emotional and I love it SO MUCH and that I imagine signless & psii singing this and it honestly makes me really sad yet so happy..

[@jinx880]

I imagine kankri singing this somewhere in the song

[@trosebud223]

I heard that this could have supposedly been the psiioniic/ helmsman who sang this. That means the second verse could also be the signless, the disciple, the dolorosa and of course still the helmsman

[@Sovairu]

Is it the Troll who Would Bellow Forth the Mirth of the Signless and Fight against the Fear of Her Imperious Condescension, even as She Barrels down upon His Body and Crushes His Soul; He who is the Immaculate Fighter, the One who Still Opposes Her Terrible and Unjust Reign?

[@ireneqiao1183]

I feel something like religious awe when listening to this song. Such heaven to listen to.

[@patriot7260]

... This reminds me of a funeral. It's perfect.

[@TheUltimateImposter11037]

I want this played at my funeral or im not showing up

[@blackparadetrumpet]

English lyrics: He carries all our pain And one day his strife is forgotten However, we are forgiven Our kin are separated by colour of blood. We are without without love or virture. However, we are forgiven.

[@clementinerousset9595]

I love Sollux's character design so much, he is so pleasing to draw! And this music is just the one needed to start a nice lil' fanart.

[@kibty2191]

Swearing has never been more beautiful in a song. ;~;

[@harbingerofpestilence]

Internet Trash I it’snotreallyswearingitjustsoundslikeitsoimmastopyourightthere

[@Samphirix]

I’ve been looking for this forever lol

[@vriis]

For all you wondering, it's based off of Norwegian, but it's a bit phonetic and mixed with other Scandinavian words.

[@selinnazsur2328]

This is so fun to sing along, idk why. It's been stuck in my head for days now too.

[@evatroniclover0026]

The church of cancer's anthem. They say that humans found out about the sufferer and his teachings and created a religion to remember him and spread his teachings to humanity.

[@jillsandwich4817]

Kankri is one of my favorite characters and his song made me cry for like 20 minutes.

[@dave1049]

I am honored to have the Sufferer as my Zodiac Ancestor.

[@thefluffyaj4119]

while I find kankri annoying, this song really makes me remember where kankris attitude comes from. I know kankri is a joke character meant to parody social justice warriors, but like. all his annoying and sjw things are remnants of the signlesses struggle for equality. maybe kankri doesn't realize that him and his lowblood friends are safe in this world. he's seen what life was like before, how terrible everything was for everyone, maybe he just desperately doesn't want that to happen again. his attempts do more harm than good, but he has good intentions. he is literally the signless, and even if he's more like a poor imitation, they still share the same heart

[@PongoFreake]

Idk what a homestuck is but this fucks

[@blacpoin]

homestuck is a webcomic, look for it and read it, although it is very long, but it is worth

[@erinjohnson6233]

He carries all our pain And one day struggles forgotten Yet we are forgiven our family is separated by blood color We have no love or virtue Yet we are forgiven (Translation of the lyrics)

[@ronnietaylor3548]

im actually so proud of myself bc i have memorized the entire song and can sing it off the top of my head ;u;

[@insomniacakes]

I hadn't heard this song in a while until a friend of mine was speaking about it when I was talking about a fan song for Kankri Vantas. Now that I come back to it, I nearly cry when listening to it.

[@chemicalleak5131]

i like that the language is basically norwegian but written super fancy and the words are just divided weirdly

[@Sovairu]

Uuummm, not exactly ...

[@conallmorris5262]

This is the only song that makes me start crying uncontrollably

[@GabrielTheGuitarist]

Amnesia: The Great Work | Part 20 (FINAL) | BEST CUSTOM STORY EVER. @25:50 during the credits. It says it in the credits as well.

[@ironinfidel7781]

Such a beautiful song. Just if I was alive when it was sung...

[@archaicconsul2278]

***** That game contains many blatant references to Homestuck. "I warned you about stairs, bro" , most notably.

[@MaxEverywhereSystem]

bro why tf am i crying in the club

[@aleksandraaleksandrovskaja738]

Imagine singing that in homestuck church (if it existed)

[@loginfailed5768]

I want a rally of homestuck fans singing this, in harmony, tears streaming down our faces and sad smiles as we remember our dorky webcomic. Is this just me?

[@moonythespoonie9551]

Listening to this right after watching The Sufferer's Final Sermon. And I'm seriously tearing up right now. Which is an accomplishment.

[@illogicalGhost]

I-I'm not crying. *sniffle*

[@jabberw0cky13]

this has to be one of the most beautiful songs on the track...

[@sammicopor]

Its finally over, thank God, I can finally move on. That dream was the last of it.

[@xxunpunxx]

i worship the guys who sang this

[@St0nek]

This really sounds like homestuck church

[@OTPCRAZY]

This song literally entrances me. I could listed to this don't for the rest of my life. It's just so beautiful.
