I love how the Sufferer's (or Kankri. They're kind of the same person) song is so nice and relaxing and emotional and then there's Karkat over here literally screaming into a fucking guitar and destroying some drums
Somewhere, far far away, the Sufferer sings, spreading his message of peace and hope, praying that one day the pain, the violence will end. And somewhere, far far away... His descendant screams for no discernible reason.
EVERYONE OUT OF THE GODDAMN WAY. I'VE GOT A LAB FULL OF HUMANS, A MOUTH FULL OF YELLING, AND A TORTURED PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE FULL OF TOTALLY HYSTERICAL EMOTIONS AND UNAIRED GRIEVANCES AT PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY.
dude. what is wrong with you? that is way offensive and just really annoying. you may think the anonymity of the internet can protect you, but people will hate you just as much, if not more.
Imagine: You see an upd8 with the title 'Karkat: Wake'. You click it. This song blasts through your headphones while you watch Karkat rise on his questbed and destroy everything
yeah but i mean, isnt an important part of Karkat's character arc to be Weak, i mean as a Knight of Blood, even his God Tier powers wouldnt be combat-centered, The Blood aspect is basically "interpersonal relationships", he managed to make everyone on its session work toghether, and even when the shit hits the fan in the Meteor he used his knowdelge in interpersonal relationships to calm Gamzee in the x5 SHOWDOWN COMBO, and in the fight against the black king he almost did no damage, he scratched his chest to get a flashy looking wound to moralize its team into fighting it. So, the knight of blood, is physically weak, but its strongness is surrounding himself by friends and making them get shit done.
i think it may be called iron knight because the metal iron is a grayish silvery color when more refined but it can also have bright red spots when there are impurities in iron ore
Karkat dramatically air guitar-ing to this and trying to look cool swiping at the air with his sickle while alone in his respite block. Also probably in boxers. Just imagine it.
YES YES THIS FITS SO MUCH also, vriska mindcontrols sollux into hacking his webcam and recording the whole thing, uploads it to the internet and sends a link to all of their friends
My favorite thing about this song is how iron can be grey in color or red when rusted, or red in oxygenated blood... And Karkat's the knight of blood. Oh, Hussie.
Cheshire Shadow actually octopuses have blue blood because of the hemocyanin in their blood, which is copper instead of iron-based. Our blood actually WOULD be lime/yellowish without the iron-based hemoglobins in it
This music is just like Karkat. While listening without earphones, it sounds like a mess of metal. but if you listen with earphones, it is SO BEAUTIFUL.
Headcanon: Karkat fucking LOVES metal music. It's the musical equivalent of the Karkat agressive we've all come to love. My only proof is this song, and how well it'd fit with him. This is a fucking bop. No questions asked.
The name "coloUrs and mayhem" is a quote of Calliope from a conversation between her and Jane. That's why the U is capitalized and all the other letters are lowercase, hence Calliope's typing quirk. The conversation is on page 006044 of MSPA.
Expectation: this Karkat's actual musical ability: **squeaks out a single painful verse of "The Farmer in the Dell" on the trumpet and gives up** I'm just saying 'cause you know it's true.
This song is 100% karkat. If you don't listen with headphones, it only gives off the angry "vocals" But if you "dig deeper and use headphones" youll hear the harmony and basically karkat's background. He's more than an ugly vocal. His background is beautiful, and so *_WEAR YOUR EARPHONES._*
THIS COMMENT SECTION GAVE ME AN IDEA. A device you carry on you at all times, that plays music when you speak - the song depends on the volume of your voice. If you're talking normally, some standard background stuff like elevatorstuck. If you're whispering, something quiet like pink cat. If you're crying while talking, something melancholic like orchid horror (which is likely to instantly cheer you up, cuz homestuck) and if you're yelling, THIS.
That would be awesome! Or, if you want to get really advanced if it somehow connected to your brain and whatever emotion or anything it happens. Yet that might be s bad udea... Cool though!
I actually have a troll OC who is a Blood player, and is a rockstar who's associated (out of universe) with Jimi Hendrix along with a few other people. She would love Iron Knight.
I find it downright hilarious that Iron Infidel is the Signless (or Kankri if you think about it) singing sadly and all that and then Iron Knight is probably just Karkat shredding a electric guitar while headbanging
Does anyone else hear a heartbeat as the background music of this track? On a similar note, does anyone else's heart rate increase while listening to this song?
To me, this fits Karkat really well. I just kinda relate Karkat with rock and guitars. I don't know why, I think it's personality. And I just love guitars.
Grimdark Gamer1 What's with the passive aggression? I don't even like either of those games, and I don't get how relating this song to the music of one of the best N64 games has anything to do with them. Needlessly hating on another Homestucks. Sheesh, what has the omegapause done to people. :/

this is in a playlist called: relaxing homestuck music..... uhhh you sure about that

Me too
yeaaaaaah man

Mikaela Forte KARKAN'T
fixed a year old comment.
look up vantastic. it's an actual company. i think they rent vans.
y'know why it's funny to me that it's named *iron* knight?
because the song itself is based on *rock* with elements of *metal* in it.
It also turns red when it rusts.
yeah but music puns
Also blood, human blood at least, has a large amount iron in it. Blood knight, knight of blood. Ey?
the big man HASS the rock
i think it may be called iron knight because the metal iron is a grayish silvery color when more refined but it can also have bright red spots when there are impurities in iron ore
Karkat dramatically air guitar-ing to this and trying to look cool swiping at the air with his sickle while alone in his respite block. Also probably in boxers.

I LEGITIMATELY DID THAT WHEN I FIRST FOUND THIS. (minus the boxers part...)
You could end any sentence about Karkat with “and then he flipped his shit” and it would still make sense
He ate some cereal, and then he flipped his shit
Karkat decided to go to the bathroom and then he flipped his shit
_Karkat fell asleep, and then he flipped his shit._

My favorite thing about this song is how iron can be grey in color or red when rusted, or red in oxygenated blood... And Karkat's the knight of blood. Oh, Hussie.
Karkat, all his emotions are too big for his tiny body.
this is honestly giving me such god tier karkat vibes i love it
floaroma well karkat's a knight right? Blood contains a lot of iron...
Edit: shit I forgot I was on this account.
+Kar kat Yes I know. Without Iron our blood would be lime like what Karkat was supposed to be.

Hey, this is written by the guy who wrote the guitar part for Dogfight.
