@@nicetry69420 nah there was some old homestuck fan forum that hated fanfiction or mpreg content or some shit. so toby being toby he went on to make like two rock operas for an mpreg fanfiction that got him banned from the forums. he then went on to use it in this song spreading the nastiest in joke through one of the most uptight publishers in the world. original song is "the baby is you" or somethin.

[@armageddongirl612]

@@mxcascade it wasn't a fan forum. actually a lot of what you said is kinda wrong lol if i am correct, the official MSPA forums made a rule against pregnant kids (because y'know), so, toby fox, being the troll he is, made fun of both the moderators and the shipper fans by making this rock opera (one!) called "the baby is you".

[@armageddongirl612]

also toby fox didn't make homestuck, he just did SOME music

[@Crocogator]

Toby Fox's style comes from his drums, I think. Those drums are just so good and so prog and so marching forward. You hear it in this, in Undyne's fight and Asgore's. It's amazing.

[@edwardkenbrizuela1122]

for me it comes from his music patterns+upbeat vibes also his music correlates with the game like it has a story thats why its so good

[@The8BitDrummer]

Epic! XD

[@green1371]

Hello Eim always listening to Heavy Metal Music

[@AREf-x]

You should do a cover you two

[@RandomPerson-kz9uf]

It sounds like Toby fox's style while sounding like sword and shield. Some people may say it doesn't sound like pokemon but aside from that iconic leitmotif appearing in a few songs the entire soundtrack doesn't sound like pokemon and I love it! I want more of this genre--

[@sleepingforestmusic]

I just got to this part of the game a couple days ago and was immediately like, "ohp yeah, this is one rich is doin'"

[@HiddenGemsReviews]

The baby is most certainly not you with this cover, Rich. Amazing as always!

[@astrohardammo5192]

Song that might play when sans shows up in the Battle Tower

[@deltafrappuccino]

i'm tempted to join the homestuck revolution and send you the entire script of the baby is you but i won't for now

[@lucky115_5]

@@deltafrappuccino what is "the baby is you"?

[@deltafrappuccino]

@@lucky115_5 I'll give you the shorter, less-painful version of it. "A hundred thousand years ago, far in the depths of paradox space, a new life form is about to be created-one whose origin is as enigmatic as the glimmer of a musclebeast’s teat. Some are carried in by storks. Some are recreated from paradox slime. Others pirouette out of their best friend’s magical nonexistent vagina. But regardless of how these beings may be born, they all come into the world with a special force. One called…LOVE. This is the story of one man’s search for love and truth in a universe forgotten by time. The story of those fearful creatures. Those that we call…BABIES." Basically it's a musical shitpost made by Toby Fox on the old MSPA forums in which one of the main characters gives birth to one of the other main characters. Mentioning The Baby Is You got you banned from the forums. A part from "Baby Legend," from The Baby Is 2, can be heard in the intro for the Battle Tower theme, possibly due to the Homestuck fandom's recent resurgence.

Hey Richaad, if you’re reading this comment thread, I’m still waiting for a metal cover of Rex Duodecim Angelus from you.

[@foofgam220]

When I first heard the song, I instantly knew who made it. Toby Fox is so good at writing music.

[@Benjamin12]

This theme coming from Toby Fox has a strong Touhou vibe.

Toby is a big ass ZUN fan, so of course he and his excellent taste would produce something similar.

i love this homestuck cover

[@yourlocalraccoondealer8611]

Of course one of the best Pokemon battle themes to date is made by somebody who made a game with one of the best soundtracks of all time. This theme is incredible, right next to Wally's ORAS theme, Zinnia's battle theme and champion Iris.
