i miss john so much and i have no idea why. it's like your best friend you knew all your life died and theres nothing you can do but mourn. i mean, i like ultimate Dirk as a character because he's very interesting and well written, but i like John more for some reason
@@elizabethbilyeu3031 it's okay, Homestuck^2 prides itself on being "beyond canon", it's literally in the title. with that in mind we dont really have to apply what is and is not canon to the timelines anymore because the story itself is beyond those verbiage. this means that we should focus on both considering they interact with each other in multiple ways, but for the sake of simplicity both timelines have been combined into one story while both continue independent of each other. one story, two simultaneously occurring plotlines.
i think the main takeaway for me from it was that it's like anything else that dies on this bitch of an earth... dust to dust, every glorious kingdom one day fades into obscurity, but the spirit of it's people live on in those who come after. the epilogues made me deeply sad and lonely in a way i had rarely felt before. empty and hollow, as if the limitless passion and mystery it once heralded in my heart was just a mid-summer night's dream. in it's truth unreal; just a figment of my own personal imagination and projection of unconscious desire. I wanted to feel like there was something bigger than myself that i was truly passionate about. homestuck gave me the power to stand in my own authenticity and develop a personality that was, for the first time, something i actively desired to cultivate beyond meeting expectations of others. when the story ended in 2016, and even moreso when the epilogues came out, it was like i finally had to come to terms with the fact that the experience was only as real as i believed in it to be. i had given it a world of my own creation, placed delicately in my heart as something fragile and precious to be cradled with the deepest affection... but it was just that... a creation from my own mind. I cant say for sure what made hussie take the direction he chose near the end, except that the metaphysical nature of it's lore and meaning was captured eloquently by the final interaction of davepetasprite and arquius. in it's brevity, there was the poignancy of a truculent elephant having a spastic seizure in a tea-shop combined seamlessly with the occult significance and hidden moral that had laced every page before it. in the span of less than 20 pages, the entire webcomic's identity as a work of art and medium of one artists' personal expression of the deepest nature of the human condition, was placed succinctly for the reader to digest by the means of two horrendous freaks of nature with access to universal consciousness bonding together in what, for all intents and purposes, was both a solemn reminder of the transient nature of self identity and it's relation to the bigger picture of collective self-discovery, as equally as it was just a complex, drawn out horse joke. hussie had painted a tapestry that i believe will stand the test of time as a remarkable and deeply relatable depiction of the concept of "Higher Self" for a generation so distanced and antithetical to religious ideas and spiritual doctrines such as ours. i'll always miss homestuck. some part of me will always remember those simpler times, even if they were objectively more miserable and confusing. i'll never forget the encyclopedic knowledge i developed of every single page, every single pesterlog of every single character, enormous classpect theorycrafting threads i eagerly scooped up and pondered starry-eyed late into the night. in a way, the "second chance" is me, i guess. no matter what happens in life, i'll always remember what it meant to me and i'll carry that with me until I too pass away, dust to dust. my heart yearns to one day bring our people together again to relieve the magic of days long gone... cons with awkward teens dressed in ridiculous cosplays and body paint acting out patterned routines they had developed out of sheer obsession and repeated creative impulse. even if there were bad moments and experiences of animosity and hate that grew out of young, immature minds not understanding the impact their actions truly had on others, they are *all* still my people... and i feel content to know that each of us that remember those days will carry the lessons learned in our hearts, even if the outer trappings and memories are too difficult to bear with the same enthusiasm we once had for them. each of you who read this long ass essay and get this far are the ones i'm talking about. you're reading this because it's something that resonates with you... whether you are here because of homestuck or because of some other reason, we're kindred spirits, you and I. go on from this place knowing that it was all worth it, and you have done and are doing amazing on your journey thus far. one day, maybe not today, but one day... things will get better. I love you.
I hear this when Terezi give the instructions to John for fix the timeline after Game Over. Like a *another chance* for save the life of his friends and win.
i wrote a song and it's called 'if the theory that, after winning the game, the players who survived til the end are reset to their pre-game states while keeping all their in-game memories which means dave will have to return to his abusive household I'm going to start a *riot*'
+Spiders Georg Actually, Dave could return, and bro would be like, "time for your daily ass-kicking." And dave would be like, "No. Fuck that, I'm dave damnit, and god tier or no, you shall have your ass handed to you." before kicking the shit out of Bro and leaving for good.
A young man lies on the floor in his bedroom, dying. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is this young man's birthday. Though it was sixteen years ago he was given life, it is only now that he will be given his death at the hands of the ultimate evil. As he prepares to meet his friends and family that have gone before him, a pale blue glow envelops him and a firm breeze whips up the debris.
(reposting my comment on here since i wrote it as a sequel to the one on Game Over and people seemed to like that. this one's less sad.) The world awakens. The crushing silence broken by howling gusts. The knight climbs to his feet as a blue light surrounds his friend. The witch and seer watch in awe as the body of the heir rises up, carried by the wind. The light grows in intensity, enough to momentarily blind all onlookers. The wind suddenly increases as the heir floats back to the ground. As the blue light recedes, two azure eyes open. John is alive once more.
For some reason, when I hear this I don't see it as John's second chance - it's more like the story of the human beta and alpha sessions. I mean, the crazy 8-bit is Jack's rampage, 2:15 is John's ascension, then everything after that is A52 and the scratch, and finally the song goes back to the start with the alpha session.

The ethereal glow washes over his wounds, healing him, and the breeze staggers the menace standing over him. The young man rises up, his life renewed. His name is John Egbert. He has been given another chance.
Now that homestuck is coming to a conclusion I have to have to SEE THIS SONG IN THE story. XD HAVE TO. It's weird to think homestuck would have an end though. We've gone along for the ride for so long and saw them all grow up.... it's going to be a big tear jerker when the day comes. T_T
Wait that cake has 13 candles It says one year older It has the breath symbol on it Dad knew his son's aspect, possibly more If John had just accepted the cake he probably could've gotten some info from dad

Proof that Homestuck had a "You say Run" track _BEFORE_ it was cool.
Yep. Nice MHA reference btw
Holy fuck, that's so true
i say walk
and then stab and walk again

The the game won't end until the hero gives his final breath.
Well. I suppose the game is over.

YES PLEASE
people don't realize that dave would've certainly perished if bro hadn't taught dave flashstep and how to fight by kicking his ass.

The alpha session is the "Another Chance"?
@@DavidSartor0 yes, another chance to finish homestuck and make the new universe. that's the scratch!
I played this over [S] John Rise Up. For the Duration of the flash, it fits perfectly.
maybe it was intended for that flash...
I lived in Australia this summer ad every time the milky way galaxy could be seen in the sky I'd listen to this song while watching the sky :,)
Speggy Wee
you can see WHAT
WHEN
I'M GOING TO COLLEGE IN MELBOURNE WHERE THE HELL CAN I SEE THE FREAKIN MILKY WAYYY
@@zaggity It's really not that hard you know
@@anmspafan7855 wow ok thnks for the help
That Walk-Stab-Walk though! :D
I would have loved to see this in an [S]
This is like my favourite fucking track ever
The Walk-Stab-Walk leitmotif is awesome in general, too bad it wasn't used in the comic .-.
th-cam.com/video/UALZ5f1BucI/w-d-xo.html
every year I listen to this on my birthday, I almost didn't remember this year but I made it just in time!
I like to think this song has something to do with johns retcon powers ;)

wwwwoooooowwwww I'm in love with this track
Aha! This is the song I've had stuck in my head all day... hopefully this video encourages people to buy this amazing album.
That is one delicious looking cake.....
This after listening to 'Game Over' is just...
...beauty... to define it simply.
...he has entered...THE GAME. Let's face it, the world ends with him.
The game has given John another chance to live and ascend into a more powerful human
This is pretty much completely the most epic remix of WSW. It's like Jack ended up in Braveheart.
1:27 aaaaand eargasm.
By far my favorite song
Bet this will be used next flash ;o)
I hope you're right, Darla Dimple. I hope you're right.
F
Best Walk-Stab-Walk remix, hands down.
Why does this song at the beginning or gnereal hit me with feelz and almost made me cry?
Dude.. That's poetic.. bravo.
I'm honored to upload music to such an epic play list.
wow I love this SSB track guys!
It sounds so inspirational!
I... Just realized. The picture is Dad Egbert
John...Please...Get up John....
John, rise up....RISE UP JOHN!!!
The fucking feels in the beginning, man. Reminds me of the Snow Queen's Sacrifice from Once Upon A Time.
Eheh, thanks. I like to try my hand at writing sometimes. Little imagery pieces like that are fun to write c:
LOVE IT ! Love it!
Now that homestuck is coming to a conclusion I have to have to SEE THIS SONG IN THE story. XD HAVE TO. It's weird to think homestuck would have an end though. We've gone along for the ride for so long and saw them all grow up.... it's going to be a big tear jerker when the day comes. T_T
Rip dad Eggbert
Battle music with LE, yes please
IT'S THE LAST ONE ON THE LIST!
Cake served cold
I have a feeling This will be the last EOA's song.
idk why but the beginning gives me hardcore avatar (with the blue furries) vibes
It took me 7 years to realize this is a Walk-Stab-Walk remix and I am ashamed
Wait that cake has 13 candles
It says one year older
It has the breath symbol on it
Dad knew his son's aspect, possibly more
If John had just accepted the cake he probably could've gotten some info from dad
Reminds me of Dread of the Grave...
Umineko for the win!
I was about to say that XD
