"Of course. I just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding between us. You may be under the false impression that I am uninformed re: the attributes of rainbow drinkers. You may even think that you successfully fooled me into thinking you were one yourself, when we first met. I just had not previously encountered one in real life. Nor had I ever seen an alien, for that matter. Furthermore, when I saw you before, you were in the company of one Tagora Gorjek. I was making the most reasonable assumption possible, given the information I had available. It makes complete sense, if you think about it."

Wish I could insert re: statements into my speech on the regular, re: adhd, but it flows awkwardly in verbal communication, and id probably end up using it like how kankri used tags

[@raymond4218]

@@Piper_____ I concur, that would be quite useful.

[@incineration-henry4560]

I say this as a legit homestuck fan, lotus kinda sounds like "legend" from deltarune

[@Xx_Blue_Blur_xX]

I swear Toby is inspired by Jit so much

[@woodfur00]

You should hear Lotus Land Story.

[@Madisongs]

Nice PFP!

[@jojovox]

smells like Toby

[@incineration-henry4560]

dog breath?

[@JacklyCraft]

You almost tricksted me in thinking I was wrong in recognizing a Toby song by ear

[@fabianantoniomtzrdz721]

​@@JacklyCraftIt's just a Toby Fox song

[@QuantumHippologist]

The beginning of this song is Bergentrückung. You’re welcome.

[@meline4524]

Lotus leitmotif +" Minight crew" style = YESYESYESYESYESYES

[@muffinomo6616]

I seriously need someone to make an extended version of this- I need it.

[@blapi1120]

LuminantAegis did it earlier today!

Such a shame that awesome songs like this are overlooked because of Vol. 5's sheer length. ;_; This is a fantastic song, and really deserves more attention.

[@eliteal2188]

Congrats, it's now been used :P

[@LlyonaFang]

What genre would this be considered? Electronic Jazz? Definitely videogame styled, as is most of Toby Fox's music. Something about this gives me nostalgia but I don't know what it reminds me of.

[@SpaceWaifuArt]

legend of Mana for me or like final fantasy

[@JohnVance]

I just posed the *exact* same question in /r/homestuck. It seems so unique and yet also familiar. I'll let you know if I get any good suggestions.

[@MadDepot]

I think it sounds like 80's music, it makes me think about sitcoms, like Diff'rent Strokes

[@shanewilliamson2187]

It's asgore

[@TheMuffinator3]

This song has been stuck in my head for the past few days and it gives me hardcore nostalgia But that’s because I started reading Homestuck in 2011, before Cascade 😅 it brings me back to my high school years

[@g-hmd]

this _does_ sound slightly midnight crew-esque

[@nickflik0934]

0:09 - 0:15 sounds a little bit like hopes and dreams

[@chantolove]

nick voorham It’s like his signature lol

[@monckat4681]

Akemi there are a couple vague similarities but this isn’t where asgore’s theme came from, this is a (very good) remix of Lotus by seth peelle

[@Magicacoca]

The part at 0:27 sounds a lot like a song from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, and the song itself sounds like a Touhou Project soundtrack... It's just wonderful!

[@kittykittybangbang9367]

0:27

[@hisoka7489]

Uuh Umineko soundtrack is incredible

[@oscarcoastwilde]

why does this song sound... romantic? also touhou-y. I like it.

[@srirachasteve3511]

Lotus and Black have a beautiful child

[@_Diesel]

I kind of imagine this as something regarding the Midnight Crew. 'Cause, y'know, piano, bass, what sounds like it might be saxophone and oboe...

[@MsAmiClassified]

This gave me tears and a horribly sad headcanon... ;_;

[@FiSH-iSH]

*REVEAL YOUR HEADCANON OR PERISH* edit: guys i think he perished

[@evo683]

plz :(

[@aidencrawford9704]

I think this sound might be a reference to Snatcher. SNOW POLLEN? Huh? anyone? Maybe a little 9 on the end. Ahhh I love you guys.

[@loonbird]

how to get free likes

[@loonbird]

ckowkay aw snap you've got me

[@PiinkberriYT]

I wish I had sheet music of this song. I'd get all my band geek buddies to play it with me.

[@villaimouse]

Oh my gosh I totally remember this song now I couldn't name it for the life of me

[@f.z6938]

i cant believe i nearly forgot galekhs theme was part of the actual soundtrack haha

[@channelremoved32]

Anyone else hear Hopes and Dreams in the beginning?

[@vriskaserket2201]

i hear it!

[@Shadow17Link]

holy crap I can hear it. wow

[@epik465]

can't hear hopes and dreams, can hear Asgore also that Black in the middle

[@Shadow17Link]

if you actually listen yeah I can hear asgore in the very beginning but if you keep attention then you can hear hopes and dreams after that

[@epik465]

Sean Lambourne still can't hear it, I can hear black but I don't think that Toby Fox made something that sounds like hopes and dreams all the way back in 2010

[@grabthebagnow]

A big reference to Umienko's ALIVE. Also an awesome song/work.

[@epik465]

it's a remix of Lotus, so unless Lotus is a reference then this can't be one

[@grabthebagnow]

And Lotus kinda doesn't sound like it lol... it's just that if you speed the main melody up a bit, add trumpets and drums and it sounds like Umineko.

[@epik465]

***** I listened and kinda saw what you meant but not really

[@purplebard7349]

They used this for Galekh u serious?

[@shiningfennec2360]

They did!

[@yuk_ichi52]

This is clearly based off Legend of Hourai

[@McLovinEgbert]

The name "Snow Pollen" reminds me of that one episode of Cowboy Bebop kinda, heh.

[@lovelesscat13]

what do you mean~ its giving an outlook of the trolls, and ive been on it for a week and i just started feferi and eridan XD

[@IDONTKNOW-ln5jp]

Soul as red as ground cherries

[@ThewouldbePrince]

don't worry , I'm on it.

[@TheMaskedStarlte]

why does it sound like bergentrückung

[@AmikaChill]

Because Toby Fox's style is one of a kind

[@Ziaotic]

@@AmikaChill this is a kinda of cover though , as the original was made by beatfox i think

[@softenthegrave]

i love this as gale|

[@Brackets_Guy]

[@highdoppler]

My T.S. :

[@AkemiFP]

I hope this brings You back to this, if it does, hi! How is your life and what happened on those long twelve years?

[@starryboom2726]

looking at the name and hearing the sax i like to imagine this is the fight scene between Jade, Dave, and Bec Noir

[@nutty_rickrolled_mikey]

Asgore?

[@powerONdelta]

Galech
