Been a while since I’ve drawn Bill, so i threw this lil gem together
So I've been listening to the Homestuck Albums on Bandicamp lately and in the Collide Album's Heir if Grief I'm suprised no one has pointed out the way the songs instruments are mixed together
Let me explain: if you go to TV Tropes and look at Homestuck's Fridge somewhere you'll find a bit talking about how the Homestuck Anthem has references to all the Beta Kid's musical talents. Quote:
"The Homestuck Anthem features John, Rose and Jade's instruments, in that order. So where's Dave? Playing the rest of the song from the start. He is a time traveling DJ, after all."
What does this have to do with Heir of Greif? Everything. Let's look at it piece by piece.
It begins with a small guitar fading in whom I believe is Dave (funny how he has the first actual dialogue)
Then comes in the beat and a second guitar. This is also Dave, but not the same one. They're other Dave's joining in.
The beat and guitar increase and i feel that symbolizes when everything in Homestuck really kicked off (John entering).
We then hear a solo piano, John, playing as we glimpse at the Beta Kid's journies simplified to their appearance and homes. Dave's tempo is still present, though softer.
John's piano is then joined by Rose's violin in a beautiful mix as Dave's tempo increases, leading into the emotional guitar and drum solo from Dave (gonna call it Dave solo). John's piano chimes in around the end (I think as comfort), then another Dave solo.
Next is the second piano solo, though Dave's tempo is louder this time.
Here's the part that threw me so hard. For a long time I couldn't figure out where Jade fit into all this. Then it hit me. The flute. While it was a tiny section and seemed really random, Jade has indeed played a flute before.
So we have John Jade and Dave playing together (makes me think about while Dave and Jade are extremely important due to their aspects, John is our main protagonist and is the only one who (because he's a derp) could zap himself into any part of the comic and fix Game Over).
Another Dave solo before it's just the flute and guitar, though as it progresses the beat is very present.
And finally Dave brings it home with some of the best guitar and drums his heart can play. Then it is slowly drowned out by a strange sound and at the very end I get a feeling of suddenly waking up.
And that's my really awkward disection of my favorite Collide track. Let me know if you enjoyed it or if there's anything you'd like to add.
This is Gir, a childhood plush that has been in my life since I was little (seriously idk where we got him but he was very well made).
He's cute, he's cuddly, and his head is so compactly stuffed that it is essentially the consistency of a goddamn hammer.
So I made this <- it's a silly comic i made cos i couldn't get the idea outta my head
Read the title guys, I’m finally making my art debut, with a lot of support from friends!
The big day will most likely be sometime from early to late August this year so look forward to it!
My cat is so stretched out lounging that my space on the bed is very smol 😅
Satan hated a lot of things. The memories his soul contained leaving him feeling as if he would always disappoint those he thought highly of. How he blindly followed his previous god, desperately seeking approval, killing countless devils to gain his favor. Jesus taking the god’s attention. Finding out the truth. The war. Jesus’ constant dismissal of his problems. How Insani would only consider his words if Lucifer said them. Arguments with Luci. Syphil’s creepy everything.
There were so many negative things in his life, and he hated all of it. But most of all…
He hated himself.

Hi, I'm Illy the Mad Artist! I love art, writing, and the characters and stories I make. I have anxiety, and I really would like to get as many opinions and critiques as possible, so please, PLEASE, ask me if you are going to post my work on other sites, and PLEASE credit if you do. The work I do is VERY important to me, and I want to share this with you guys. I don't really like reblogging things, so pretty much all of my posts are my stuff. I will accept critiques, however I will not accept hate (they are two completely different things). Please be kind, and if you wanna talk about or ask me anything, I'm pretty open most of the time. ^-^
