[@Ymilliaine]

This is just gonna be like the "only 10% the viewers are subscribed" thing youtubers say, but this animation has a LOT more likes and views than the comic itself. If you liked this video, I'd really appreciate if you gave a like on Ligmastuck on MSPFA, even if you don't really use the site: mspfa.com/?s=42495 That might help it reach new readers on the site! I like it when people read my funny comics, so I'd love it if you took a moment to click that little heart down in the adventure info.

[@eridanstan4977]

welp, ive been on a homestuck nostalgia trip recently anyways. This animation was comedy GOLD!!!! This is the perfect excuse toi check your comic out!

[@theannoyingdog]

I literally just read the entire comic after watching this, and all I can say is that you are an absolute genius. I mean, in what other comic does (SPOILERS) Jude Harley in a suit shoot Karkat wearing an eye patch who was working for a resistance against a mafia in front of baby Vriska, paradox John, secret agent Jane, and Yiffany who can talk???

[@techattack]

Yep, sold. Reading now

ya know getting this randomly recommended and out of context is.... probably the intended viewing experience. absolutely amazing! im horribly confused but supportive all the same!

[@Ymilliaine]

Yeah, totally foresaw KZbin to do it's magic, totally...... The context link is in the description, but if you're content with just the pretty pictures, I'm super glad it's enjoyable that way too!

still can't believe this is an actual animation for an actual mspfa and not just some really elaborate shitpost.

[@darcylitster3053]

honestly the mspfa seems like an elaborate shitpost a lot of the time. it's shitpost central and then hits with philosophical existential type shit at the moment you least expect it. it's absolutely delightful. you should read it if you haven't yet

[@charactooling6470]

This isn't just a shitpost with a plot, it's a tribute to what made, and still makes Homestuck great 4/13/2022 A webcomic stands in the middle of its fandom.

This is fantastic! It coming up in my recommended got me reading Ligmastuck now, and It's what I always wanted from meta-fanon stories.

[@okavara3833]

this getting randomly recommended on youtube is how I found ligmastuck. This was JUST after my friendgroup and I had made a john-only session on the genesis project, with many iterations of john.

[@AllenGrimm1145]

Absolutely incredible! (The ONLY thing that could have made this any better would have been including some of the more obscure Canon Johns, like Homosuck's "MALE" or Trickster Link John.)

[@dobrakawanimat]

this is still like my favourite bit of homestuck fan content that's come out in ages. ligmastuck is awesome

[@edwardsinger7644]

At first I thought this was a reanimation of the "JOHN. RISE UP." flash, but it appears this has something to do with The Canonization of Every John Egbert. I am thoroughly intrigued. brb gonna read your fancomic.

[@Floofy_Fox_Gal]

One of my favorite things about this is the fact that there’s pretty much a 3/1 John/June ratio, showing that even though John is canon, and will always be more recognized, the fandom will always have a special place in their hearts for June. I know I do.

[@DietermiGamzD125]

[S] John: Move horizontally By the way I got this recommend randomly but incredible video.

[@demongirlfriend]

as probably the one person here who's actually read ligmastuck before watching this, this is unironically one of the best fanventures i've EVER read. the absurdity and the messages about the nature of the self are fucking fantastic, and this flash was unironically fucking breathtaking. tysm for making this

[@cephalopod-crossing]

Best tribute I've seen this 4/13! Can't wait to see more :)

[@ParakotoJenkins]

fuck this changed my life. Both this video and the comic's original start. Literally helped me realize that maybe that the rate we improve is meaningless and that maybe everything we hold as an idea of who we are is also essentially meaningless. Essentially I view the amount of information in the universe as an inequality where 0 = equation. I think our view of time increasing is simply a concept as everything else in life, and that the continuity of self-improvement is to help add more to the world than what you take out of it. By assuming an idea we create an information imbalance. For example, the concept of time is that time is increasing, which means time is equal to x. However, that would mean the amount of information in the universe is increasing over time. This means that this information is exhausted in various forms to create a balance. In a way understanding that you are zero information, that the concept of anything existing is Null, and then that the concept of things can eventually be self-evident as they are already there means that their existence is a constant of information. essentially, when we get to the unconscious I want a scene where John has to bring the better version of himself and teach him by conveying to him absolutely nothing. Essentially, he lets his unconscious become himself and they walk together, eventually becoming one. Then every lesson learned and then forgotten along the way, the true balance, could be taught to his absolute fundamental self. John finally has simply become a stronger person, his control of his self is infinite, because he has become more united with his personal self. Then he just becomes the best person he could be at any moment instinctually. He does this whole process again but faster and faster until he's infinitely perfect in his own reality. As that would mean that he would have the knowledge of the perfect way to exist, his next step would be teaching it to Dave by healing him, and then DAVE STARS IN LIGMASTUCK 2 THE BABY IS YOU EDITION SOMEHOW

oh my god what was just that I don't know how to feel- the animation is so great and I don't even know what the context is

[@twins.Armageddon]

I can't believe you made several among us jokes, a ligma joke, good animations and a good story while also refrencing the baby is you.

oh the animation is so good though

[@solahifuefos9301]

i occasionally come back to watch this and it always makes me tear up

[@techtubbs2536]

This series is still awesome! I love how it’s a way you think about homestuck but with different emotional focuses like the series itself did. This is what made homestuck kickass, the fact it’s all insanely unexpected but also a coherent story, but when taken out of context you have no idea what’s going on. KEEP GOING!!!!

[@IronicEquius]

Holy shit this is amazing, all the different Johns and whatever other confusing stuff are just so cool I need to read ligmastuck asap

[@mishy.]

yeah tbh I didn't know what was going on, I was like "is this homestuck?" and it was. fucking loved it though! great animation, my friend c:

[@UNNAMEDSHOW]

The model i associate with gmod and the music that reminds me of touhou really adds something special to this video but honestly this was not what i expected it is such an amazing animation when mspfa stops having a stroke ill give ligmastuck a read

I have 0 context but that was neat. Maybe one day I'll finish HS and go looking for Alternate-Stuck content.

[@Feasco]

[@EtchJetty]

this is unironically so fucking gorgeous and well done holy fuck, like, from the minor details to the major ones. i love first of all the gorgeously crunch pixels at 1080p, like, yes. yes. i love it. and the 3d render also being done in that resolution is great. and then second of all the 3D!!!!!!!! its amazing when the thumbnail gif of john doing fortnite dance was foreshadowing the whole time, like. brilliant. and the DESIGNS of the alt johns were so good - did you come up with all of them, or were they community sourced? either way great picks. this is what meeting your ultself should always look like. this is a bar for mspfa - hell, MSPA itself - being raised. this is the exact kind of escalation out of the medium that hs at its best was always able to achieve, and it's being nailed here too. great fuckin shit :D

[@Ymilliaine]

Thanks so much! I came up with every Egbert here, more or less. I mean for example the concept of June is not original of course and John in Con Air clothing is in HS itself, but the specific designs are mine (though of course I've been influenced by designs I've seen before). Also the icon being foreshadowing is a point I haven't seen noticed before! This animation was in the plans from the very beginning, and experimenting with 3D was one of the like 3 things that inspired Ligmastuck to begin with.

[@EtchJetty]

@@Ymilliaine i long for the day when we get a june egbert who kins, not nic cage from con air, but sally can't-dance, the trans woman, from con air that's when the fandom will finally reach its full potential also glad to point at the thing and notice the thing you meant to be noticed :D
