Homestuck Collide: Heir of Grief

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.

Bro your Sou is the most precious thing omfg

I didn’t sleep. I didn’t think either. And no one questioned it.

Sometimes I forget I have katanas in my room

They used to be my dad's, but I guess he didn't want them anymore

Hell yeah I'll take goddamn katanas

Fear

    There were few things in this world that unsettled Kira: reminders of his parents and his childhood, the first time he’d witnessed Grim snap, Mitch being furious, watching Nova’s body piece itself back together in disturbing ways, and when Calem doesn’t greet him upon his return home. Everything else, such as the corpses he retrieved souls from, felt mundane and normal by the time he’d turned twelve. So when the nineteen-year-old met a being with milky white eyes and stitches across their lips and throat, he thought nothing much of it. Rather he asked the nameless being why their mouth was stitched...

    And instantly regretted it.

    The beings lips surprisingly parted, just barely, and a pale mist escaped the newly formed gap. It lifted and curled itself into the air, small blue flames fading into existence.

    Then came the screams.

    Hellish screams, wailing and ringing in Kira’s ears. His skin paled to a sickly toned white, and he could only stand there, petrified and looking at the being with what he could only assume was a mixture of horror and a blank stare.

    He promptly took the being back to the manor and expressed his concerns to Mitch. Whatever they were, they shook something in his very core that screamed every level of wrong back at him.

    And that wasn’t okay.

My dog Nala likes to watch me eat yogurt because my mom and I give her the container when we're done

Easy cleanup for recycling! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ

Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~)

Well...I have a small figureAll my fingers are double-jointed which is coolMy creativity is how i got to where i am todayI have a little point on one of my ears (my grandma used to say it means im part fairy and thats always stuck with me)I'm really good at math (algebra is basically simple math mashed together in my eyes)I hope youre happy cos i had a hard time with this, due to my self loathing

Meet Desmond Eldrich! He’s the young man we’ll be following in the first arc of my comic series.

Until I’m finished with enough chapters to post, I’ll have an addition to my ask box to ask Desmond anything!

Today I decided to look for my most popular art piece from the past and redraw it. And that piece waaaaas...

DAVEKAT BEDTIME

Seriously, as of posting this, the original work has exactly 299 notes on it.

That’s 1 away from 300, and it’s the highest number any of my posts have achieved! (the only one even close to it was a crack post of Davekat using one of those “draw the crew” templates and the only other one to break 100 was yet another Davekat post with some Rosemary on the side)

While this is disheartening, I hope that with little things like this I can grow my online presence so i can share my art and comics and stories with the world!

Drawing has always been one of my greatest passions even if I’m not as good at it as others.

I HOPE YOU WILL ALL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ME!

Love you and happy holidays

(PS: I have plans for a little Christmas piece (and possibly a comic to go with it if I can finish in time) that will go out preferably when it hits midnight, signaling the shift from the 24th to the 25th)

I guess we make a wish so

Can 2020 stop sucking now?

Please?

Jegus, I'm afraid to hear what this guy has to say about demisexuality, in which you do not find people sexually attractive unless you have a deep bond with them

Took me a long time for me to conclude I'm panromantic and demisexual

Honestly, I have never been on this platform to spread hate or get into petty quarrels but I have been formally invited into one by a certain individual and it is time to get out receipts. I am not going to @ them but what I am going to do is tell you to avoid they're page and inform you of some of the things they are wrong about or are ignorant of. Let's begins with acephobia

Asexuality has actually had a long history and has existed for thousands of years. In ancient greek they had several virgin goddesses that could all be considered asexaul, more specifically Hestia and her roman counter part Vesta who both never fell in love and blatantly refused to have sex and had worshippers who joined in order to avoid sex and love. While the Vestal Virgins are a bad example since they were forced to join, that doesn't mean that asexuality doesn't exist.

Next up the general ignorance of things outside your personal bubble.

I honestly can't comprehend how you don't know about the hundreds of people who get murdered every year due to them being queer but congratulations(?). People die because it is illegal to be queer and that has nothing to do with the bible, religion doesn't start public executions, people do.

Now lastly the blatant panphobia and enbyphobia

Pansexuals have been here for a long time and while the label isn't as well known as bisexual they are very different. Also as long as the sexuality isn't being used to harm anyone in the community, or make fun of the community, why should it matter? Also nonbinary has also had a long history and even has it's own mythological background with the goddess Ishtar and biologically there has never been only on gender with the existance of intersex people which you promptly ignore. Now I could go on to tell you more about gender but I belive Hank Green does it best.

Now I hope everyone has a wonderful evening and that you stop your ignorance. You are valid.
