[Pre-Scratch] Homestuck - Gold Pilot Extended

[@k.-flynn]

This song is a really good reminder that the animations in homestuck are most affected by the song. The pacing, important points, highs and lows, are all already set in stone. Hussie is essentially just doing a songstuck without lyrics, and i dont think he's ever commissioned a song for an animation.

[@einootspork]

+K. Flynn This song is a bad example, given all the glitching out the flash did. He essentially left out most of the song.

[@mahmudghdamsi5133]

actually, he has. cascade was put together with an animation already in mind and as a result the songs were adjusted to suit it, and he even asked toby to do a remix of black rose/green sun just to make the final scene

[@Elipsis21Gaming]

I may say that it's WAY more of a readstuck ^^'

[@PanBelacqua]

It's interesting because the early comic reflects this in terms of user commands. By the time that Homestuck rolled around, the site was generating enough user input that Hussie could pick and choose from the user-generated commands that he could basically drive the story any way he wanted with them. There is so much Homestuck music that Hussie had a pre-supplied library ready to match whatever story beats he had in mind. Leitmotifs narrow this down somewhat, but still: if he needed something about John (like the A6A6I4 LOWAS-cleansing flash), then there're tonssss of remixes he could use.

[@ltchip2593]

man I sure do love songs with glitchy sound effects

[@Maric18]

+bootypopper do you have some more? just the general glitch/timestutter effect... i love it

[@yywonky]

i've started reading homestuck around 2 weeks ago and i've just finished act 5. I've been looking up fan-pages and fanart of homestuck and i feel really sad how i missed most of the fandom and stuff. i wish i'd joined the fandom earlier. now it feels like the fandom has died down :c

[@nyxkes]

Yeah, me too kinda. I started some months ago and finished it in time for the ending, but I only know it because of Undertale, so I missed it in its "glory days".

[@gabs2740]

Same--I actually started it around a year ago, thought the beginning was boring, and stopped. Thankfully, my brother joined a voiceacting group for Hetalia and Homestuck and I got back into it around when Undertale was coming out. Sucks though. Everyone outside of the fandom seems to have a negative outlook on it.

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

Fandom was mostly cancer, you're lucky to have missed it. Best thing you're missing is getting to speculate aimlessly for ~8 months while waiting for an update during insane hiatuses.

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

room Honestly I hated everything between the introduction of the alpha kids and the retcon bullshit, even if the retcon bullshit was pretty lame in its own right. Felt it was a steady descent starting with [s] cascade to get to that point too. But I suspect that was Hussie's intention all along, since the tone of that part of the story is markedly different from the rest, and the retcon is basically "jk, that's a 'what would happen if i killed off vriska like all these whiney shits keep telling me to' scenario." It is a pretty bad deus ex machina though. But nah, getting involved with fandoms in general isn't great and homestuck's is usually pretty cringey even now.

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

room I mean, only a handful really were one-dimensional at that point anyway and of those most remained so.Pretty much just the alpha kids got developed around that point and I still disliked all of them besides Roxy. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

[@lithesra3666]

I have a weird interest in the goldbloods. Maybe it's their connection to my favorite aspect, doom, or the fact that they are really low on the hemospectrum, even though they have immense psychic power. But it's probably just because i love the duality theme

[@ninja3212]

Well, the idea behind the hemospectrum is that the lower you are, the shorter you live, but you also get cool psychic powers. Edit: As soon as I posted this I remembered that Vriska existed so uh... lucky br8k for the blue bloods?

[@samuelwhite1129]

​@@ninja3212 Yeah, Vriska is something of an anomaly. Normally the lowbloods are Psychically gifted while highbloods are Physically powerful. The Serket line having their weird empathy-telepathy-mind control powers is just the exception that proves the rule, I guess.

[@kooyah6420]

Remind me again how the highbloods held authority for so long? Like, what's durability gonna do against a bunch of psionic goldbloods that can fly, shoot laser beams, etc? Let's not forget a random goldblood took down a drone singlehandedly, and Pesterquest!Sollux brought an entire shopping mall down on a seadweller and wasn't even really intent on killing him. About the only thing I image could keep psychic lowbloods in check is Her Imperial Condescension herself, who doesn't exactly have immediate access to Alternia.

[@frostyelkk]

@@kooyah6420 Ahem, *glub glub.*

[@kooyah6420]

@@frostyelkk Last I checked the vast glub wipes out the entirety of the troll race starting from the bottom of the hemospectrum. Even the highbloods themselves would eventually die, so I don't think the threat of Gl'bgolyb was used to hold authority (especially given Feferi's stance against culling).

[@StarJelli]

There's something both sad and sweet about the psiioniic. I can't seem to place either.

[@2ou1]

AGREED. WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREED

[@ashtonlove5161]

I love Homestuck music I usually play it while I do school work. When I do school work I don't like music with lyrics but I don't want classical music. I think this is a good middle ground

[@fishlordusername891]

When one of your earphones breaks and you can't listen to the song's full glory ;-;

[@Epicawesomeness64]

It's even worse when one side 3/4ths dies so instead of complete one side you have this weird off-balance sound. (Also, nice GV avatar.)

[@fishlordusername891]

Hhhhh I am sorry for your pain. (oh thanks)

[@ColonelSnivy]

oh shit dude it still sounds rad tho doesnt it (gv avatar spotted.)

[@theorangeninja6486]

You poor creature

[@tkot413]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof bruv

[@fennecfoxfanatic]

bro i wish i could delete this song from my head so i can experience it again for the first time.

[@boxedcanine1306]

i let my friend from school listen to this and she doesnt know what Homestuck is but she LOVED IT.

[@icefox4244]

this my jam. its also really sad tho a he is enslaved when piloting the ship.

[@trosebud223]

Icefox42 he was technically a slave before he met the signless too

[@fear_toxin]

god this is so good. the homestuck ost is a work of art in and of itself

[@laurasaurasrex]

I love this song, I can't listen to the start and read because my eyes start going side to side with the music. So I just close my eyes and wait for the rad glitchy drop and to be honest, it's like peace. I love it.

[@firelizard4775]

Sounds like dreams, once within sight, now forever out of reach

[@plaaaant]

dude this is my favorite song ever just like EVER

[@Khazrain]

That one dislike was the Condesce.

[@taurengil]

the psiioniic is probably the one unhappy with the situation

[@voiceoftheparanoid]

Homestuck is great tbh

[@temporalCaster]

A shame the flash this was in got cut short, but I guess the Psiioniic is used to having good things taken from him...

[@johnathanegbert9277]

I just realized something: Rose was the only one of us who didn't follow her personal quest. In fact, she literally decided to _break the game._ rather than complete the "find Cetus and free the fish" objective like the rest of us. I cleared the oil and found Typheus, Dave lit the forge and found Hephaestus, and Jade created the new universe and found Echidna.

[@poisen06]

you were the fish she freed you
