One For The Money (Ikimaru's Lyricstuck)

Ikimaru's first lyricstuck!!! It was so much fun to put together and I think I might be the first. Anyways, enjoy!
Art: ikimaru.tumblr.com
Song: One For The Money; Escape the Fate

[@cheeseclover]

lyricstuck reeks of nostalgia but with ikimaru’s art oof it just hits different

[@cheeseclover]

BACK AFTER 6 MONTHS LMAOO

[@sunbites]

Yoooo welcome back

[@stargirl3455]

I got recommended this vid and the middle school nostalgia hit me like a truck

[@ev2544]

YEAH LETS NOT TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL CARRIES A CHAINSAW THAT DOUBLES AS LIPSTICK

[@smileyminer5879]

No let us talk about it

[@asthmaticandgay8067]

Well it is very badass :33 I'd do it

[@Veegzee]

Actually she'd be about 17 in human years at the beginning of Homestuck. o~o And then she'd be 19 currently...

[@TornusageBladestorm]

Veegzee what? how? explain.

[@Veegzee]

Midnight.Shadow mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Kanaya_Maryam If you're going by the wiki... If the age given on the wiki is the age they started as, then that would make her about 16 or 17 when it started, and about 18 or 19 at the current point, unless by chance the age given on the wiki is the age she is /currently/ in which case, my apologies.

[@ac1derin6]

I think the saddest (and best) part of this lyricstuck is the fact that ikimaru's art style makes them all look very young, which is what they all were when the comic began. It adds another layer of desperation and sorrow to an already tragic series of events, personal growth, and destruction of everything. Also, I am now re-interested in Escape the Fate.

[@jv-dr8gr]

my feels have been destroyed by your statement. thanks.

[@Teriyakirage]

yeah it's quite sad and another disturbing part is the art style is very adorable, so especially gamzee's part is very disturbing, because it's cute, but he's killing equius and nepeta.

[@dannydavis6094]

They are still technically young, they aren't twenty now they aren't even adults

[@Teriyakirage]

they're not twenty, no, but they're not thirteen anymore either. john was actually eighteen last 4/13, if you count the hiatus as them aging. if not, he's 17. he's not just a scrawny little kid.

[@dannydavis6094]

he is still a kid and acts like it as he has spent the past four years of his life with the same kids.

[@greykoepp4624]

1:27 Honestly, I can't even describe my joy in seeing Tavros' anger here represented so damn well. LOOK AT HIM. YOU GO BOY.

[@mii3910]

Rt

[@zenouitaki4572]

AND THEN HE DIIIIIIIIIES XD Sorry had to

[@shannonmeehan3564]

Grey Koepp it's my favorite pic now. I printed it.

[@carolinapadilla2399]

[@apatheticAstronaut]

"I cant stand it"

[@hickorygaming1533]

Kinda surprised there wasn't any Dirkjake in this besides when they were standing back to back, considering Ikimaru is the fucking dirkjake queen.

[@mimirage004]

HickoryGaming I fucking agree.

[@willowids369]

Max B She has one based off of The Scientist. Edit - Here you go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp2anmuoqKd6oKc

[@CytheriaXylia]

I swear, some of the best Homestuck fanart comes from Ikimaru, and when it comes, it comes in heaps. :3

[@lillyocarroll]

I no right

[@user-zm6qs9je4w]

Amen sister/brother.

[@elysifish6855]

Not to mention some of her art is canon!!

[@kdsjfksdj6768]

I am sorry but I have to compliment your adorable profile picture Because Hinata is too cute

[@mgb117]

Their art is amazing

[@StudioWulf]

Must say, it's quite fun to go to these types of videos and read the comments from several years ago, it's a nice window into where we were at with the series back then

[@kyleetime]

_Ikimaru is truly a god_ _-I just found a new favorite song hella-_

[@gamermaster258]

I agree with you both

[@conro8429]

_THIS SONG IS AMAZE_

[@achillesthighs4401]

How do you make the line?

[@Jenns228]

SCARY SCOTT put two of these: - on both sides of the word. - like this - (but without space)

[@arseniccatnip7956]

Is it still your favorite song? Lol bringing everyone back

[@novaglacrr6114]

"HELLO HUMAN, THIS IS YOUR GOD SPEAKING."

[@grimmcorvid5713]

The Vriska playing guitar solo is the cherry on top.

[@meowmeow4158]

All of the characters looked so awesome in this. Even Equius looked badass. Most people draw him like a total dork, but he looked so fucking awesome in this video, great job

[@dazzythenormling4847]

IKIMARU IS LITTERITLY A GOD!!! SHE'S SO FUCKING AWSOME AT THIS!!!!

[@user-zm6qs9je4w]

IKR.

[@clementine-png]

+Just a normal troll tru tho

[@erikmikalkorstad1359]

+☆Nepurrta "SATAN" The D3stroy3r☆ But that begs the question; what atribut does she have?

[@shrimpyshrimp2243]

i cannot believe i was so late to homestuck in general. i was in middle school in 2016 when the comic ended, and was a fandom lurker instead of a participant, and i feel like i REALLY missed out, seeing all these comments from five years ago. hope i can find more homestuck fans irl

[@snakedoskeptyouwaitinghuh8644]

I know your pain, kid

[@drpickleton]

ikimarus art just hits diffrent

[@theonegoldengryphon]

This art style really reminds you that these kids were 13 when all this traumatizing shit started happening

[@Minecat101]

watched this video on loop in the car family trip to Vegas years ago. so much nostalgia

[@alexjursek7113]

NNOO!! that Is the sound of amazIng fan creations draggIng me Into the homestuck fandom..

[@daisymac8278]

YAAAAAS join us >:D

[@alexjursek7113]

+OverThe Moon okay I wIl joIn the fandom.

[@daisymac8278]

Huntra Silvers enjoy your stay XD

[@alexjursek7113]

+OverThe Moon I will enjoy eternity XD

[@CarlosMartinez-tl7vo]

+Maxene Fojas NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BETTY CROCKER

[@dustin7671]

For a second watching this i was thinking it might be a bit offensive, but then i realized that 90% of Homestuck fandom is at least to the point where these words are commonplace.

[@arturoreyescortez2476]

Vriska playing the electric guitar is my favorite part of this video.

[@boredBiologist]

Gamzee without obvious makeup is the most cursed Gamzee I've ever seen

[@fynn3053]

-Y'all, Gamz was 13 when he went on a killing spree-

[@RespawnJupiter]

And became sober after being high his entire life.

[@Water-kitty-latte]

Ikimaru style is forever pretty and man song choice is good

[@varibunn]

I really am glad to get into fandoms for a few reason, one being I meet amazing people, my most favorite I discover new music. If it weren't for fandoms like Homestuck, Warriors and FNaF I wouldnt know half of the bands I do today

[@Midnightwolf1333]

EXACTLY.

[@MarthaWashingtondivergent]

what exactly are fandoms? excuse my stupidity, this is great music!

[@rhiannaashby7730]

Martha Washington Homestuck, for example, is a fandom. A fandom is a show/comic/movie/book/etc. that has many fans or followers(aka a fandom). The more fans, the bigger and more popular the fandom. Some of the biggest fandoms are Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock, Homestuck,and several others. ^u^

[@davestrider5437]

preaaaach

[@Wallespider]

Rhianna Ashby I swear urban dictionary needs this right now!

[@furiousmagician5912]

1:40 he looks like the onceler

[@bela15216]

set this song as your alarm, and you will not be disappointed.

[@jasonb1345]

lol yes i would definetly do t)(at if i cod, but i )(ave a wriggler sister so u)()()(...

[@gingergamer8204]

ARE YOU READY TO WAKE UP ARE YOU READY LET'S GO

[@ihavekalashnikovyoudomath9275]

GingerGamer NO I'M NOT! AAAAAAHHH!

[@furiousmagician5912]

I would get up and dance coz this is my favorite song

[@justanartdoof3965]

Ikimarus art is the reason i got into homestuck and i actually love it. This is my fave lyric video of all time

[@ChronicCalibration]

One of my favorite things about this webcomic, is that no one underestimates kids.

[@kangaroo4074]

I love how the trolls and kids actually look like 13 year olds! It makes me very happy.

[@jamesamala7371]

that one panel keeps me laughing every time i see it

[@dudebrogaming8886]

Dersite Dreamer which one?

[@jamesamala7371]

//MUSIC//

[@dudebrogaming8886]

Dersite Dreamer 👍🏽

[@gustav275]

Ikimaru has some damn good taste in music

[@NEVERescapingLOVE]

am the only one picturing gamzee singing this? Yes? alright then...

[@tazothwithano5123]

+Ryyuki Shikiza //not really. that or the ancestors

[@tazothwithano5123]

Ryyuki Shikiza //that could be it and the reason why the people contributing to this, centered this around Gamzee. But I can't picture Gamzee singing some of this for the soul fact that he only goes with some parts. So it can be half and half I guess.

[@NEVERescapingLOVE]

Gamzee Makara indeed. I can get behind this.

[@tazothwithano5123]

+Abbey Jones Wot M8

[@snorepaw101reads_homestuck5]

omg yes. cuz of all the "motherfuckiers" and it sounds like Gamzee XDD

[@melamich1628]

I seriously LOVE Ikimaru's art mostly because it's really good and 'cause they actually look their age :o)

[@conro8429]

ikimaru's art is perfect

[@haliquinn7008]

Dude, I accidently discovered this song today. I was listening to Love Falls and then clicked on this song and now I see this and I was like :0

[@crystalstarxx4748]

Did anyone else felt chills going down their body watching this?

[@cat_in_a_plastic_bag]

ебать, какая же ностальгия

[@selinnazsur2328]

God, when did I get here? This never gets old, man :')

[@cornmaze1630]

Gamzee's face at 1:04 is fuckin superb

[@casper-jz3eb]

im so glad ikimaru is a homestuck because they have such a beautiful art style and way of portraying the characters and just... wow

[@jar8074]

I love how Ikimaru draws Gamzee

[@jar8074]

Actually I love how Ikimaru draws anyone

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

Happy 612 everyone. i know its not QUITE as big as 413 but it still counts dammit Edit: happy 4-13-22

[@caseyspencer9839]

On the last day of year six my teacher let us all pick a song to listen to, one song each. Mine was this. She wasn't to happy bout it.

[@trababy8891]

I thought I escaped this fandom...and now I'm back ....why did I watch this XD

[@LexiGutz]

You can't fight the homestuck

[@craxxiswabisuke9338]

Lexi Vantas thought it's weird and random

[@LexiGutz]

It's the greatest fandom

[@rockingraven6645]

S)(ELL YEAH

[@tamamanitohei9334]

tyeson haype You can't fight the homesick.

[@okuriinu1975]

I really should stop watching this... but maybe just one more replay...

[@snorepaw101reads_homestuck5]

one more play turns into a playlist with this video on it 35 times XD

[@okuriinu1975]

Snorepaw101 reads_homestuck at least

[@arcticwolflover1636]

this video never gets old XD

[@ramenren4137]

Okuri Inu I have literally watched/listened to this 5 times and it's still not old.

[@arcticwolflover1636]

ikr

[@topekanobel]

I absolutely adore ikimaru's art style and I'm so glad she not only made it onto the calendar, but also into the comic!

[@auroramena9171]

Gamzee is just so good looking Ikumaru draws absolutely wonderful

[@auroramena9171]

Ikimaru*

[@LexiGutz]

She is, I hope on day I'd be almost as good as her

[@leodevault110]

ARE YOU READY? No.

[@user-ru6cj8uz7l]

Yes of course.

[@OrchidBlaze4572]

Every time I see Aradia dead, I feel sad. I die a little inside. Probably because then I see Sollux next to hee body, tears streaming down his face...

[@somerandomkidyoullprobably6749]

I FREAKIN' LOVE THE SONG AND IKIMARU IS THE ART GOD.

[@sahajatalla1464]

+Margo Verger hello PHAN SHIPPER

[@moriimae9252]

oh god [insert lame dan/phil joke here]

[@lemon2639]

As a crazy pansexual fangirl, homestuck sexually confuses me. Everyone is too hot.

[@IronBoy-hf2lp]

as an asexual, homestuck confuses me. what even are relationships.

[@roselalonde5046]

As a lesbian, I often find many of the women in the comic attractive.

[@Kayta-Linda]

As not a romantic person at all, Homestuck confuses me. Shipping is actually fun for once.

[@kill9002]

Lemon as a chaotic pansexual, I can agree

[@koushikgupta7369]

As a demi sexual, homestuck emotionaly confuses me

[@dylanwicker4056]

This video will NEVER stop giving me chills when I watch it. They start at the sound of the first guitar note, and by the end of the video I have tears in my eyes out of sheer appreciation and excitement. Amazing song, amazing art, amazing video.

[@legendofwhatever175]

Typical of someone with an Eridan picture... *spits on floor* (Sarcasm intended, Eridan is a fine character)

[@juliasofiagalindo2106]

I freaking LOVE Ikemaru's work!
