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

[@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

[@kuraihane000]

AND THEN HE DIIIIIIIIIES XD Sorry had to

[@shannonmeehan3564]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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?

[@grimmcorvid5713]

The Vriska playing guitar solo is the cherry on top.

[@novaglacrr6114]

"HELLO HUMAN, THIS IS YOUR GOD SPEAKING."

[@alexjursek7113]

[@drpickleton]

ikimarus art just hits diffrent

[@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!

[@theonegoldengryphon]

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

[@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

[@arturoreyescortez2476]

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

[@Minecat101]

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

[@Water-kitty-latte]

Ikimaru style is forever pretty and man song choice is good

[@fynn3053]

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

[@RespawnJupiter]

And became sober after being high his entire life.

[@justanartdoof3965]

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

[@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.

[@kangaroo4074]

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

[@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.

[@ChronicCalibration]

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

[@conro8429]

ikimaru's art is perfect

[@jamesamala7371]

that one panel keeps me laughing every time i see it

[@dudebrogaming8886]

Dersite Dreamer which one?

[@jamesamala7371]

//MUSIC//

[@dudebrogaming8886]

Dersite Dreamer 👍🏽

[@jar8074]

I love how Ikimaru draws Gamzee

[@jar8074]

Actually I love how Ikimaru draws anyone

[@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

[@crystalstarxx4748]

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

[@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)

[@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

[@boredBiologist]

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

[@sahajatalla1464]

this is just beautiful :,)

[@clichekid5144]

Don't cry Craft

[@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

[@selinnazsur2328]

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

[@gustav275]

Ikimaru has some damn good taste in music

[@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]

[@ramenren4137]

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

[@arcticwolflover1636]

ikr

[@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.

[@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!

[@furiousmagician5912]

1:40 he looks like the onceler

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

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

[@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)

[@cat_in_a_plastic_bag]

ебать, какая же ностальгия

[@somerandomkidyoullprobably6749]

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

[@yourburningvalentine9409]

[@blackbeautysister3]

finding this on Tumblr is what made me aware of the existence of this awesomeness. I'm glad I found it on KZbin :)

[@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...

[@juliasofiagalindo2106]

I freaking LOVE Ikemaru's work!

[@hellwolfgaming3507]

I LOVE THIS SONG, IT WENT PERFECTLY WITH HOMESTUCK AND KARKAT IS FUCKING EPIC.

[@alexegbert7274]

[@maverickliam7751]

hats off to the person who did the art

[@ohlalonde]

It's me or Ikimaru's style is too cute for this kind of songs? xD

[@izumithehousewife]

Are we just going to continue ignoring the fact that EVERYONE. JOHN, DAVE, JADE, ROSE, TAVROS, ERIDAN, KANAYA, KARKAT, ETC. ARE ALL 21 YEARS OLD NOW. ARE WE JUST GOING TO IGNORE THAT ;-;

[@aliicekath]

i see ikimaru, i click video.

[@enthupysch3796]

I like to imagine that the Vriska playing the guitar is really smol and tiny :33

[@paisleydodge8815]

ok i love ikimarus art so much

[@GoblinMask]

This is. The coolest song and Coolest lyricstuck video I have ever seen

[@SuperNinjaAlchemist]

I LOVE Ikimaru's art, but I'm a little disappointed that there's no clear image of Eridan in the vid

[@itsmxtwist]

I wish I could draw like him, I can only draw okay chibi humans and cats (no chibi cats) (=0,w,0=)

[@itsmxtwist]

And my little ponies. (=^w^=)

[@diamondocelot1]

Ikimaru is a girl ^-^ And yeah, I really wish that I could draw like her.

[@SuperNinjaAlchemist]

She's super cool :b

[@killmeicravethesweetrelief8061]

sapphireTsunami ACTUALLY, IKIMARU HAS SPECIFIED *COUNTLESS* TIMES, THAT SHE IS GENDERLESS/GENDERFLUID AND FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ANY PRONOUNS BESIDES THEY.ECT. THANK YOU VEEEEERRRRY MUCCH :^)

[@Ghost-yj4zt]

[@tatert0.t]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH IM SO GLAD IKIMARU MADE A LYRICSTUCK FOR THIS AHHHHH

[@minishcat1671]

That one scene with Nepeta looking out the vents almost made me cry ;-; dang, this is sad all over

[@obliviansvoid6844]

This makes me feel awesome but sad that I will never be as awesome or Cool as these guys

[@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

[@karkatqueen1073]

So cool I want to hear it over and over again!!

[@Pastelit-ov4mg]

I love Ikimaru!

[@TechbotALPHA]

All of my Yes. Seriously, I love your art style. And thank you for introducing me to the awesome that is this song.

[@fluffyrocket9054]

1.they didn't draw it 2. They don't choose the song 3. All they did was put the video together

[@TechbotALPHA]

FluffyRocket Well, I just became one of 'those guys' on KZbin. Goddamnit. Still, it's a very fitting mix at least.

[@agoodman3963]

[@laurengildome9484]

Do you mean she never fails to disappoint you?

[@hannahmayfoulds9741]

Lauren Gildome I'm pretty sure they meant "never fails to not disappoint", it's a double negative so it cancels out. What they meant by that is "never disappoints". I hope that makes sense.

[@nunyabusiness164]

Lyricstuck are the best

[@yusucke]

Your videos are so awesome, i cant stop watching.
