[Pre-Scratch] Homestuck - Umbral Ultimatum Extended

[@NotA3xCombo]

Rip Bec, He technically didn't die but we still miss him as a standalone being.

[@joshshrum2764]

Coffee Yeah he lost his individualism and for what making Jack Noir more powerful.

[@HexPhoenix]

@@joshshrum2764 AND protecting Jade, considering he manages to do that even influencing Jack...

[@joshshrum2764]

Matteo Caccioppola Guess that’s true, but still.

[@melancholymaids3032]

He didn’t stop being his own character. He just became a sprite in the same way that davesprite, and equiusprite and tavrosprite (not tavris) still we’re there own characters

[@iscruluciaioana9148]

@@melancholymaids3032 Bec did become a sprite, however, when he fused with Jade's dead dreamself he ceased to be his own individual. Just like Davepetasprite^2 , who does have the personality traits of both Dave and Nepeta, but they are neither. Besides, saying that that Bec "didn't stop being his own character" isn't really accurate. Bec is a First Guardian, like Doc Scratch, but he does not have much of an identity like him. He is, after all, a fusion between an omniscient crystal ball and a dog. And just like Jasprosesprite^2 said when asked about her gender (since she is a fusion of Rose and her MALE cat, Jaspers), animals don't really have a strong sense of identity, hence why she still refers to herself as female. Same thing applies to all your examples. Tavrosprite was later fused with GCat, but he retained his own identity since GCat, just like Bec, is a fusion between an omniscient crystal ball and a cat. Davesprite stopped being Davesprite the moment he fused with Nepetasprite. And as for Equiusprite, he was fused with Dirk's autoresponder and became a different person, while still retaining some of Equius' identity. So yes, some of his personality was passed on to Jade when she became Godtier, but Bec has, in fact, stopped existing as a standalone being.

[@Alter_Luna]

sounds like a battle with a possesed friend or a very big threat. Edit: 7-8 years later and i’m much more versed in the homestuckage, I find it very funny that I was right on the nose based on the music alone, didn’t even know who Jade was. Since then Nepeta’s my favorite and still deserves justice. Haven’t really looked into the sequel though.

[@Hayden-vf1ss]

In this case, both

[@craytherlaygaming2852]

When it comes to jade? she's both and big can be both literal, and figurative if she so desires

[@packmore9561]

nepeta deserved not being in a comic where the author took favorites, god.

[@Alter_Luna]

True! I forget if there was any context for Vriska coming back from the dead other than rebooting the timeline after game over, but thinking about it, yeah that was dumb lmao

[@packmore9561]

@@Alter_Luna the entire game over retcon was horrendous. i can't believe hussie ruined vriska's entire arc because. i don't know. he didn't like her as much after she was a better person, i guess.

[@EikoWinters]

I'm reading homestuck for the first time. I have no idea what's going on but I like it!

[@IncoisaRadio87]

EikoWinters YOU WILL GET THAT FEELING SO MUCH. MARK MY WORDS BRO

[@randomiserthatsit2043]

EikoWinters welcome to wonderful, wonderful hell

[@SparkstarScope]

I just started last week. I can't understand shit but I love it.

[@anon_is_typing]

+EikoWinters ...sounds about right.

[@noahpreuss2795]

+Erin How far are you now?

[@theodoregeorgiou4565]

The mess of all these instruments in such a high tempo just makes me almost go crazy, because I like how DAMN FAST it sounds.

[@jesusmunoz7198]

it isn't a mess, it is organized chaos! XD

[@galewallblanco8184]

there is no order, only diferent 'chaoses', chaos

[@easypeasypiano6118]

I KNOW RIGHT?!

[@thundre4879]

I avoided this song for so long then realized, "Oh it's Jade, I should listen to it." And then I felt like my Jade quota for the day was made.

[@thundre4879]

Oh this song is good.

[@lunardour]

You have chosen well.

[@thundre4879]

Yes.

[@ghoulatar8814]

I remember, I was listening to the Homestuck version of Megalovania (from Lumi) before reading the comic, and still before I read it, I found this song. Once I reached [S] Jade: Enter, my hype levels went through the roof.

[@janrasmussen6273]

That's pretty much what happened with me and fuchsia ruler, and davesprite.

[@yfnbm]

Ultimatum: a final demand or statement of terms, the rejection of which will result in retaliation or a breakdown in relations. Hm.. That's says alot actually..

[@hashtagNight]

this song says the definition

[@BenStiller-cx2km]

and not to mention umbral so its the dark final demand or statement of terms, the rejection of which will result in retaliation or a breakdown in relations.

[@Absenteeee]

Umbra=Shadow

[@bloodstoneore4630]

the demand was by jack noir to the black queen to stop making him wear that hat!

[@AKA87807]

shadow demands the chaos emeralds

[@MrCoolScreen]

this soundtrack is the universal theme of any shit being wrecked

[@spilledcereals2585]

yaeh but time on my side is too

[@jadesanford2857]

no its megalovania because its the only one thats appeared in 3 (4 if you count cog-dis) entirely different story lines

[@MrCoolScreen]

>hey there's this awesome thing >yeah but megalovania UT fandom in a nutshell

[@jadesanford2857]

no, im saying im not a part of the UT fandom

[@MrVauxs]

you are the part of megalovania fandom then

[@TimeSmashaPeril]

This is why Homestuck is so great. No offense to Undertale, but I think I still like HS's soundtrack more.

[@bingo2underscores]

Same here, though I like UT's Megalovania more.

[@sirmaxeer6909]

+TimeSmashaPeril Toby made most HS Themes...

[@dooplon5083]

Both soundtracks had heavy involvement from the exact same guy (Toby Fox).

I really like the 8-bit part.

[@hotcurry5084]

I'm not gonna lie, but after watching something so intense, the little part at the end made me cry a bit ;-;

[@ab-qf1iv]

3:16 - I still find it amusing that Ultra Necrozma- a being that is fueled by/made out of some sort of divine light- happens to have a theme that sounds almost exactly like this little bit of the song

[@rainoftime37]

I was going to make a Toby Fox joke but I don't even think he was part of the Pokemon team at that point lol. Still love both soundtracks though, sounds like the world is about to end

[@xXErr4rXx]

this is what got me into homestuck! that thumbnail was way too cool

[@VriskaSerketFan]

I think I'm crying....

[@condycakes6068]

oh my goD i clicked on this video thinking it was the non-extended version (lol i don't read titles) so i was listening to it then then the loop came and then i'm like "wOAH" seriously the loop scared me

[@Ace_Greymoore]

This was always my favorite sounclip, watching it for the 1st- 4th time it was always like "It's so intense," and then "Holy crap, it just got intenser!"

[@Souldrainr]

I get a shiver down my spine at 0:37

[@Em_kat]

i saw this video before ever even hearing of grimbark jade and now that I do damn this fits well

[@aetherarising5243]

2:10 is my favorite loop. Probably my favorite musical leitmotif of HS

[@moonfusion9964]

Okay, the song is catchy, but can we TALK about how beautiful the art is?!

[@Nobynoby2763]

I had that chiptune part stuck in my head this morning

[@timegamingg3922]

these are the things in life that you just got to love

[@sarahmadethat]

This song is genuinely what my brain feels like on a daily basis

[@dandowando37]

Has anyone else just gone back like 40 updates and died of a nostalgia attack?

so much going on in one track man....

+rasenganboy1 Yet it sounds amazing.

[@grem1368]

0:36 [S] Everyone: Oh Crap

[@creator-chan9021]

Sounds like a jungle, then turns into an 8-bit thing with asian flute and chinese stringed instrument playing at light speed. I feel like every song that has to do with Jade is Asian

[@ceroran]

God this is so good I can't have enough of this

[@kellyandjordan9568]

Once it got to the ending I felt as if I was going to cry because I miss old Jade so much. ;^; I'll miss you~!

[@eltonlrodriguez]

I know ;-;

[@luminantAegis]

I totally forgot what I put at the end aaaa I miss you Jade ;a;

[@angelgear39]

It's ok I'm gonna be back soon!

[@itty-bittybooharris2179]

The end of the song is when jade enters the medieum.

[@aster4231]

Old Jade will be missed, but really wish in the end or sooner turns back to the old Jade, well it's like the regular saying, wait until the next update xD

[@MrRADdude2]

May just be a headcanon. Possibly true though... That moment when you realize Bec's soul is the auspistice of PM and DogJack. xD

[@Alpacnologia]

Bec Noir has flushed feelings for PM

[@woqey43]

there are a few homestuck songs im addicted to, this is onme

this makes jade so *BAD ASS* !!!!!

eh... it's still cool any way you could look at it.

[@biobuilder332]

Not denying this.

[@rebeccalotto8001]

yeah!

[@sasuketaka199]

hey, before she was grimdark she could predict the future..... before her dream self died and everything went to hell

this is perfect for when you have an essay due in the next hour lol.

well thank you. i now have a song to listen to next week ;)

[@metalgamerjonny6410]

Its a strife theme? It does sound like one, but its not in the album

[@kataarifox]

It's from [S] Jade: Enter

[@Zarryon12]

This has a Secret of Mana vibe to it, like the Mana fortress or something....possibly the Myridian Dance.

[@billybob8241]

Omg other people know about that game!??

Before i got to [S] Jade: Enter i though Jade was going to get mad and start fighting all her friends until idk she just calm down or something

[@quantumautomata1368]

Heh, all we need now is a live instrumental version

[@keiseki3666]

for some reason, I decided to play this while I and my friends were playing LoL and they ended up hearing this so the match was 15-40 we had about 100 points left on our base and well we decided what they hell and pushed instead of defending and won the game

[@TheGreatandAlmightyPoob]

Is the title supposed to be foreshadowing something with all the U's?

[@larschristiansen903]

+ALPHYS (Ham Solo) Yes, it's reference to Calliope and Caliborn, the way they close teir letters saying tUmUt and also their nicknames in pesterchum

[@Annexias]

+ALPHYS (Ham Solo) The only problem is that the name has nothing to do with the scene nor the U's

[@BP-bq9uz]

+Ealonex Well, something as simple as her leaving a band on her finger at the very beginning had such an impact as it did at the end. It was more of a subtle thing for later, seeing as he's implied he had the story plotted out way ahead of time.

[@Annexias]

Daemon Frazier can you expand on the band on the finger thing like why was that so important

[@BP-bq9uz]

Ealonex *[Spoilers up until [S] Collide, duh.]* Because it was used to let Jade know to fight Bec Noir/Blanche. My guess is that Calliope added the note to it, though, but it's still the same one. After her dream self was killed, she wasn't able to see visions from Prospit anymore, and had no way of using the bands. But she kept one, because she felt it was highly important, which is the one used to let her know to stay away from Condy, and fight the two Bec's. It was also cool because it was a throwback to the beginning of the comic. Vriska brought it up, "That means someone has to tell her. And if not in person, in some other way. Perhaps leave a reminder for her. May8e tied to her finger or something. :::;)" So it was just really cool to see it be called back to.

[@irvalfirestar6265]

Yosh, that's more like it!

[@BioShmid]

Now that you've done this you need to do Courser. This isn't a request, you literally NEED to do it. The world depends on you extending that song.

[@local_cryptid]

[@BenStiller-cx2km]

yES

[@DOAMIAAFK]

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!

[@BearPawBouquet]

Huh. The song title vaguely means Shadow's final demand. Quite the name, and rather fitting.

[@catharticgemini]

Really? Wow.

[@MrFelixFB]

Shadow cast by celestial object usually, and only at it's center, edges would be penumbral.
