[Pre-Scratch] Homestuck - Moonsetter (Vriskagram Ver.) Extended

[@Musshiss]

Sometimes, when I'm really down, I just like to think about this flash, all nice and sweet, a relief. everyone fixing their problems, terezi and vriska being moirails, Dave and Karkat being matesprits, and having fun with the mayor. Kanaya and rose hanging out, without rose being drunk. This was my favorite flash.

[@Ticklebrush]

*yES. YES. EVERYTHING IS YES.*

[@aldenmcgrath9722]

was?

[@niccaz8213]

What flash is this?

[@rosiey9212]

Nic Caz it’s flash act 6 act 6 intermission 5

[@slimey9635]

Yeah and gamzee in the fridge

[@KingCarva]

the one, true, happy moment in homestuck

[@TheLeft4Gamer]

It's actually one of the saddest momments in Homestuck. All of those wonderful characters and momments destroyed by Vriska... it's just sad. Also, Davekat.

[@KingCarva]

um...in case you forgot about game over...game over...yeah

[@KingCarva]

and vriska is one of my favorite characters in homestuck, sooooooooooooooooooo

[@TheLeft4Gamer]

+king carva It's even sadder than Game Over itself.

[@KingCarva]

well i dissagree. for the game over timeluine kinda sucked imo

[@lovelovemiraclesunsetgirl]

**gets to this flash** "oh wow vriska is back and happy and having good interactions with the rest of the meteor crew yay "i like alive vriska" **gets to her conversation with jake and tavros** "oh okay wow that was bitchy" **gets to her conversation with meenah and dead!vriska** "i _hate_ alive vriska"

[@blindedjourneyman]

at least she realized she didn't ALWAYS have to 8e a spider 8ich

[@greedkingcobalt200]

I liked the OG Vriska, you all know the one? the one who was crushing on John and decided to be better because of it? Then she got offed by Terezi to prevent a possible bad future, ah good times

[@morrighanlefaye559]

Except (Vriska) is a worthless failure who embraced pointless self-pitying nihilism and Vriska was entirely correct in calling her out for being an absolute mockery of everything good she once stood for.

[@hernanpedernera3450]

T pose :v

[@admirallily6791]

The poor lesbians, Damn you Vriska! *Shakes fist in anger*

[@saltysquid7284]

How is it that such a positive sounding song sounds so lonely and heartbroken to me?

[@gnostaoticanarchangautand]

High pitch Piano and violin are usually used in heartbroken songs.

[@oxilef8471]

the violin and high pitch make it sad like, but the deeper piano/quieter panio make the music more cheerfull

[@Johnnyplaysyo]

The fact that Moonsetter is in the key of Db major means that it would be more inherently tragic than most other pieces, especially with the violin included. In Db major, there are 5 flats, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb. The violin's open strings are E, A, D, and G, and because open strings bring an inherently bright and comforting sound, taking them away would lead to a more mellow sound. Even on other instruments, the key is still sort of somber and mellow, due to the 5 flats. For examples of Db Major, listen to Mahler's 9th Symphony (Adagio), or the more popular 2nd movement (Largo) of Dvořák's "New World" (9th) Symphony. The most fitting example I can think of, however, is Debussy's "Claire de Lune". This piece exudes a similar somber, mellow, and sad atmosphere as Moonsetter.

[@samuel-rw3xt]

It's like when you are in a good mood but you have nobody to share that joy with

[@randomstuffiguess957]

It’s cus the music consists of piano and violin

I am guessing what you actually miss is reading the comic back when the fandom, the art and the rp was in it's prime, and this comment being four years old now, it was still doing better back then lmao.

Finished reading Homestuck today. I'm not crying, I'm just sweating through my eyes, it's too humid for Fall.

[@blindedjourneyman]

Konata I did to roughly a week ago..

[@tabbender1232]

Lol i'm like 300 pages away from the end, i'll probably finish it soon, i wonder how i will react (i'm almost entirely blind)

[@GY-bd9bo]

finished it a few days ago. holy shit, i wish i could travel back in time and tell my past self to leave the other fandom he was in for homestuck

[@treemartyt557]

Terri may know something about that ;;;;)

[@schnugs6125]

i finished on the 4/13th of homestucks 10th birthday so uh you bet i was crying a little ;)

[@gray6787]

Whenever I hear this or some other extended version, I can't help but to have a tingling sensation just start rolling down my spine. My eyes start to have that sensation you get right before you cry, but I never actually do start crying. Its so odd for such a calming and lovely piece.

[@craziestskeleton2725]

I get that exact thing too. Ive got so many great memories attached to this song that just make me sad now because theyre over.

[@an_entity7]

One of my fave parts from Homestuck

[@MerryShrug]

Wow, this is...50% more emotionally affecting when you're listening with headphones. Which is really good, I just did not expect any big difference.

[@thundre4879]

Ok, I love the new, happy, not dead because of John Vriska. She's *not* a huge bitch. Old Vriska was terrible, but **new** Vriska is really sweet and nice. I love the reformation.

[@sagethesage3625]

same. i used to absolutee despise vriska, but now shes actually nice?

[@thundre4879]

Yeah, she's a good character now. I used to hate her as well.

[@lovelovemiraclesunsetgirl]

but it's the dead vriska that ends up not being a huge bitch in the end she's still vriska but she mellows out to the point of meenah getting bored of hanging about with her alive vriska is the one who bullies dead vriska to the point of tears for _not_ being a huge bitch and also relentlessly picks on tavros and jake post-retcon vriska is still better than vriska pre-character development but pre-retcon vriska is the only one who ends up not still being a bully

[@thundre4879]

Well, we're talking about the Vriska that John saved with Terezi's mind powers. The Vriska that ended up being at the ghost war and on the platform.

[@esseubot]

That is the Vriska Slick God is talking about. The Vriska that was saved was the one that made the dead one opressed to the point of tears.

[@alanafreaky]

finished reading homestuck today, finally, after a hell of a month. i think it goes without saying i was absolutely sobbing during the last 20 minutes. this comic, man. it hit different then any other fandoms i've been in. which is saying a lot.

[@reddarce6393]

absolutely dude. i started reading this in december of 2019 and finished in february. emotional rollercoaster but didn't cry, very close though. we're not too late to homestuck!!!!

[@gambogelyght]

I speed read through the 8000+ pages in about three weeks this year and it was one of the best desicions tbh. the entire fandom feels very welcoming and the comic just hits deep and very close to home. no wonder i cried so much in the end :) after reading, Moonsetter just hits different

[@Em_kat]

every time i hear this song it just reminds me how terrifying going through all this shit must be for all of them this is one of the very few happy moments they ever actually get and even when they do they do it knowing that after these few years they are going to go back to fighting for their lives, just imagine being in their place with your parents killed and your old life thrown completely out the window just to have to fight every waking moment of you're life in an uphill battle with aliens who apparently created your universe these kids are mad strong to have to go through all this and deal with it as maturely as they did and you can't help but admire that

[@shinysinger]

dude, this was my favorite [S] Update. I MEAN, HOLY SHIT, IS THE DAVEKAT UPDATE. I WAS LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHEN THIS RELEASED,

[@thatmanjames1647]

Is it bad that I've listened to the original so much that I get anxious hearing this because I keep thinking the song is going to end

[@samtrevino3691]

4/13, three years later

[@Pokeball35]

One of my favorite song from Homestuck, and favorite moments from Homestuck. The moment Vriska came back to life was the best part of the whole thing.

[@pearlytheegg3838]

I once ruined this song for someone. They told me they liked Moonsetter and I casually said "Ah, the song of Vriska fixing everything" and they started screaming about how Vriska is "irredeemable". This is a person who believes Caliborn is redeemable (They weren't even on Act 6 yet) and honestly I wish they would stop assuming things about characters they know little about.

[@sargeantBones]

@@ZSaberEva Crippling and bullying a dude and killing two of your friends is redeemable

[@bur_n_t]

@@sargeantBones I mean, look at everything the other trolls do. Everyone loves Fef when she and Eridan are responsible for orphaning countless trolls. She didn't think murder was that terrible anyways, you know, because she has to feed people to her lusus. Killing her friends wasn't a good thing to do, but look at how she was raised. Difficult to get a perfect child out of that.

[@lccomics1499]

I hate and like vriska. Help

[@sm3argleliker]

i wouldnt say vriska is irredeemable but idk even by alternia standards vriska did a lot of messed up shit imo

[@magpiem0th]

@better sam I mean Vriska's lusus would kill her if she didn't feed it trolls, Vriska was doing what she had to do to survive. It's not as catastrophic as the vast glub but Vriska would still die a horrible death if she failed to feed her lusus.

[@ashenfire749]

THE DAVEKAT UPDATE

[@kawaii_chan1225]

the best update in my opinion ^_^

[@sirchoppy1810]

such great use of root position 7nth chords, indeed a wonderful piece of chamber music.

This is the animation that first sent me on the Davekat ship. I love the music for it. So sweet and happy sounding

[@jellie255]

[@avianawkward8436]

Never read any homestuck (honestly just because of this one piece of music I feel like I should holy crap) but this song always makes me feel so emotional? It seems like (from reading the comments) that this is a really happy part, but it makes me feel kinda... nostalgic I guess? Kinda sad and happy But the piano with the violin and tHEN THE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL BASS IN THE BACKGROUNd Gah it's just so good!
