My first video as Rose and my first time voicing her! I hope everyone likes what I do and this was super fun, thanks Adox for dragging me in and Voxus for casting me! This was fun to do and can't wait to do more. Also Jacob/Dave is a nerd. ;3 Happy holidays everyone!!

[@spss86girl]

I like your voice.

[@Tabikato]

@@spss86girl Thank you! I really appreciate it!

I'm glad you auditioned too, you make a great Rose ^_^

I look forward to more of your performance!

Hey, you're really good at it! I hope you've found yourself a good, comfy job to make people happy with your voice. Ta!

[@kpun48]

Ahh the soothing sound of Karkat’s voice

[@Floweramon]

I know, right?

[@Adoxographist]

Happy New Year and belated holidays to all! We're really excited to introduce our newest cast mates in their first ever video. Tabikat as Rose MaskedOtaku as Meenah Michael Macaw as John This video itself was edited by another new castmate, Floweramon, who took the initiative to organize and edit this video completely by themself! We're really lucky to have such great new teammates, and hope you like 'em as much as we do. Let's give them all a warm welcome!

[@Adoxographist]

Also, if you didn't catch it beforehand, we have a new Dave as well. His name is JacobTheLoofah. So if you want to gush about all our cool new actors, don't forget about him! This is my favourite video of his that I just want to share with you all: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmKnZGeMbrWNhZI

[@Tabikato]

Thanks for pulling me in Adox, can't believe I'm back in Homestuck once more~

[@marcusclemons5495]

I enjoyed all the new voices but I especially liked Michael's voice. It suits John a lot especially his older version. Great Job everyone.

[@thebiolibrary5572]

Did anyone notice how Equius apparently lost his horn fighting the robot?

[@GothBee]

MAN, I haven't voiced anything in a while. But yeah, I'm the new Meenah and I'm glad to be on the team. 38) Happy New Year!

[@Floweramon]

I'm glad to be on the team with you ^_^

[@starbird3939]

Goth Bee you sound fantastic. Hope to see more of you!

[@tilwon1818]

Rose did a good job of playing Tabikat

[@Voxus]

Haha, thanks for catching that! It's now fixed. :D

[@lunatic0verlord10]

2:30 That part always makes me laugh. THANKS VRISKA.

I think that's one of my favorite parts too XD

[@dronecanon9794]

They all sound so old and I love it. Honestly the new voice actors are so good I didn't even tell rose and john had new voice actors till I read the comments. Great job guys keep it up.

I’m sad that that the old voice actors left and they will be missed,but the new voice are above great, so I hope they do well in the future. And happy New Years to everyone.

the new rose voice was jarring at first but i like it

[@raezad]

love the new voices! i hope they re-spark the making of the original homestuck lets read

[@Bluntteh]

Great John voice! It sounds like the previous voice just got naturally deeper. It's great! I cant wait for more let's read homestuck!

[@spss86girl]

I like all the new voices ... but for nothing in the world, never change Kanaya's voice. Please. It's the only thing I ask. Hahaha :'D

[@sserpentinas]

Kanaya's Voice Actor Is Perfect!

[@starbird3939]

Wow. A lot of people got replaced. I’m gonna miss John’s voice and Rose’s. :(

[@spatiallapse8186]

You'll get used to it, remember her old voice from act 1?

[@timelessAnticipation]

I miss the original cast too. (._ . ) Things happen, and at least the new people gotcha covered. They're not bad tho, they're doing pretty darn good in my opinion. :3 But if you still see it that way tho, at least a good chunk of the original cast is still around.

[@Lunishta]

It's weird watching this having been in the room when Biggs recorded his lines

[@Floweramon]

Biggs does a great Gamzee. Receiving his lines was a treat XD

[@Lunishta]

In my personal opinion he's the best Gamz. Although my opinion is Very Biased 😋

It's really fucking great to hear Kate's voice again.

[@mycaryan1899]

Gotta say, love all the new VA's and it's glad to see all the returning ones. My only complaint is I think John needs to be a little more squeaky/higher pitched

[@CroomTM]

Yo I love the new voices!

[@Floweramon]

Yay! I'm so excited that this is live at last! I hope everyone enjoys it and has a Happy New Year ^_^

[@arturoreyescortez2476]

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! I love seeing this comic during this season, and I love seeing Karkat suffering because of Yuletide festivities. I still think John became too antagonistic to Jade during those events and canon events though.

omg johns voice calms me so much i love him

[@eli4097]

Was the 13th supposed to be Ophiuchus. :0 that's some neat detail.

[@danielquiroz7311]

OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY!!!! WELL THIS WAS CERTAINLY A SURPRISE TO SAY THE LEAST!!! :DD I'm so glad that you've guys literally dubbed another comic of paradox space.. (and the fact that it's around 15 Minutes long!!!!) Man this was certainly a wonderful late Christmas present, especially since we got to hear characters that we haven't gotten to hear from for a while now!!! So it's always a pleasure, to know that they're still around!! Keep up the good work all of you, and have a Happy New Year!!! *May I just say I also love Kate's delivery at **2:11** She says "Karkat" with such tenacity, matching a disappointed parent as if saying: "Don't You Interrupt What I'm Saying, Especially With That Tone Young Man!!!" It's so funny to me not sure why!! XD* Also how interesting to hear some of the new voices, well I'm sure I'll get quite used to them as the comic goes on...they certainly surprised me but I'm still intrigued to see how they portray said characters!!!! Welcome to the ride.... *FUCKASSES!!! (:B*

[@Floweramon]

Thank you! Yeah, I asked if I could make it as a holiday special and they gave the go ahead to do so. It was a lot of fun, especially since there's so many characters making appearances, and I'm so glad people like it ^_^ And yes, I think everyone did a remarkable job on voicing their respective characters! Hopefully I'll do as good a job when I debut on LRHS and LRPN ^^;

Jane and Meenah were the last ones they had open auditions for, but there were other voices that needed to be replaced.

[@sebastianhama5624]

im going to pants karkat... again

[@lordbuss]

The new Meenah And Dave voices are okay, but John...and Rose...Tabikat has a beautiful voice, but it can't match this...this...the only way i can call it is "deep serious complexity", that Duckums' voice had, that sounds simultaneously sarcastic, sexy, intimidating, amused, worried and bored. I really hoped and expected to hear the version of that voice drunk in act 6.3(and really weird with Jaspers in act 6.6.5)...but now I'm not ):

[@Tabikato]

Everyone has headcanon voices and I don't expect to be everyone's so that's okay! Duckums did a wonderful job so I understand why you would like her voice! I am just doing my own version/headcanon since I can't be someone else and hope people will like it! I'm glad you think my voice is beautiful though, that does make me happy!! And I do have my own version of a "deep, serious complexity" voice on my own stuff, hahaha!

[@Elseba921]

Eridan and Equius' new voices are a painful loss, they were just so damn fitting and hilarious. Not to say that the current ones are bad. I take it the corpse of octopimp's interest in homestuck just evaporated from being dragged through the floor, if that metaphor makes any sense

[@delimeat299]

Can someone please tell me what is playing at 13:28?

[@Floweramon]

The song it Anthem of Rime from the fan album Homestuck For The Holidays. If you mean the sound effect, that's "Wind low rumble swipe" by [e-mail] from FreeSound.org

[@brandonjackson3408]

Are their different VA's for this? If so, are they permenant?

[@Floweramon]

Most are permanent, yes. The only one not permanent is Adox voicing Aradia (Archer/Vamp was sick and so Adox graciously stepped in for the holiday special)

[@delimeat299]

Wait.....what was in Karkat's box at the end?

[@Floweramon]

A dream bubble from which Meenah and the others sprung out of.

[@ComedicalBystander]

Wait hold on, is it actually canon that they can bring along dream bubbles? Can they just make a sort of gateway to the ship that they can visit any time? If so, that'd be pretty dope

[@coconuttydragoon3445]

Actually, not exactly. Dream bubbled are drifting pocket realities, most likely this was a non-canon event for this comic. Likely, they were either on the edge of one or landed in another one and those ghosts may have been able to jump about. Not fully sure

[@ComedicalBystander]

@@coconuttydragoon3445 oh aight, was just wondering since 14:28 implied the bubbles could be stored and brought along somewhere else

Yeah, it's never gonna be the same. At least the main kids actors still have the same feel. Can't say the same for Eridan tho, Octopimp was just the iconic Eridan voice for so long. = /
