What I love most about the Homestuck OST, is that it includes tracks like "Moonsetter," "Do You Remem8er Me," and "Unite Synchronization," but also songs literally named "Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse" and "Horschestra STRONG version"
the string piano combination I think does that for a lot of people. even if you haven't heard of a song before it'll have you longing for the past for some reason, musics strange
+Hitler Gorilla An amazing webcomic on mspaintadventures.com about 4 kids who play a video game that ends the world (pretty much all I can spoil, a LOT happens). It's where this song came from...
+Hitler Gorilla Okay, that's fine. I'm not going to be one of those people who'll literally start screaming at you to join their fandom. (Still kind of confused on how you even came across this video, though)
Homestuck is part of me, for better or worse. I wish I could go back to when I was fourteen, reading it for the first time, not having a CLUE what was going on but having a blast anyway. That's a feeling I seek to replicate in every one of my creative works.
Same I 1st read HS when I was 14 and was heading into 8th grade (I started reading around either towards the end of July or the beginning of August 2018 and finished on October 21st 2018). I 1st heard about it when I went through my MLP phase, and heard about it more when I went through my Undertale phase. I watch some comic dubs here in there and a little bit of optimisticduelist and fridgestuck. Eventually one day I was like "I have nothing else better to do so why not" and I watch Vox Let's Read series. At the time Vox stopped around somewhere in openbound, so I had to read it on my own. I didn't want my parents to find out (they would kill me), so I read it on my mom's computer (in incognito mode) and would sit in a corner of my room trying to finish up HS. Even though 2018 was only 3 years ago, a part of me still feels nostalgic for that year mainly because it was when I 1st read HS and I have a lot of memories because of it.
Do you still have the song on Spotify? Could you share it with me? When I look for it there all I can find are covers of it, and they just aren’t the same. They’re usually altered way too much for my liking.
its kind of a bittersweet song. the more or less upbeat tone of the thing is quite uplifting, yet the track art evokes an almost sentimental feeling over dirk, whilst calling back old memories of his previous instance and the kind of crazy guy he was. indeed the general context of the comic gives this sort of sad yet uplifting feeling, that bad crazy shit has happened but thats all done now so what else is there to do but keep going forward. i guess its probably like recalling a loved one you lost after the end of your grieving process, you could say, still kinda missing them but also having let go because everything fades eventually into dust, and thats something you just have to accept. and i think thats something the comic wants to walk us through, teach us if you will, and that is a beautiful thing for any story to do
5 years old but it's still a beautiful way to put it. I actually come and listen to this when I'm feeling a bit down thinking of a someone close to me I lost to suicide. Saying it's walking us through the end of the grieving process and moving forward really hit the nail on the head for me. Bittersweet indeed.
@@eliasrohmer Working on a Tabletop RPG for it since I decided that would be the most digestable introduction to the series and power system. It's gonna be the Danny Verse/Endling Verse. The tabletop is almost done. The original lorebook from 15 years ago is being reworked and rewritten. All of this is on a cluster of planets called the Vol system. There's also an Earth comic that's sliiightly detatched, but uses the same power system that is currently on hiatus lol
No he didn’t he just made a similar song on piano lol I know he uses a lot of leitmotifs but I think people are often eager to view everything he does as one and find references that aren’t there
To anyone who doesn't realize why it's supposed to be sad, look where the katana is on Dirk's shadow, and think about earlier in the webcomic when Bro died, and remember that Bro is pre-scratch Dirk...

And now Dave's died the same way his brother did. All the time he lead, all the tears he dare not shed. At least he's finally a hero. Just like bro was
As terrible of a parent as Bro was, he was a hero in a way. While yes, he did abuse Dave a lot, he did it for his own good (Even if going way too far), and it ended up helping Dave at the end. Bro, like Dirk, was *very* overbearing, yet with good intentions. Plus, he was willing to die for Davesprite. And Dave died just like his brother; A hero -(But hey, this comment's from two years ago. Now Dave and Dirk are all fine and well, and we can relax...... -*-sniff-*-).-
Internet Checkpoint: April 17, 2024. My house is being sold. I remember the good times I spent living in that house. I wish I could go back to live in that house one more time.

Heya fellas, time traveler from 2024 here. I remember discovering Homestuck in 2018, and despite being a late reader, the Fandom treated me well. Despite the weirdness of it all, homestuck and it's fans all together is just really nice and I'm glad I could be a part of it. Even now, I still come back to it's lovely music. - Love yall
God, I just started reading Homestuck a couple days ago, I haven't even reached Act 4 but I absolutely ADORE this song. The moment I heard those first notes I instantly knew this was composed by Toby Fox, really shows how recognizable his style is. I'm really hyped to deep dive into this franchise and its fandom
as a former homestuck who has interacted with the fandom before, please trust me on this you DO NOT wanna get into fandom stuff its .... theyre something special. id much more recommend enjoying homestuck while avoiding any major fandom stuff
I can not even begin to explain how much I LOVE moonsetter. It was the first homestuck song I ever heard (other then megalovania) and man, it just fills me with so much joy.
I remember being 7 listening to this over and over again when id cry and panic not knowing what homestuck was. This song holds many memories, both traumatic and loved and cherished.
I'm so happy that Hussie used Moonsetter as the theme for his latest flash animation ;w; Moonsetter is my all-time favorite theme and this upd8 made me so happy
Yeah its crazy man. I left a comment here 8 years ago. Seeing it here and the amount of people old and new is some sort of evocative feeling the song isn't helping haha.
Homestuck is that one thing that somehow keeps finding it's way back into my life be it a random memory, or just one day seeing the number “314 / 413" and then just receiving a whole blast of old memories back into my mind
See? This is one of those songs that gets to your heart mostly because of the good memories associated with it. I mean the song is good, not one of the *very best* Toby has made, but now it'll always be a happy song to me. A happy song for a happy update I watched on a happy day. This is going straight to my phone. "This song... really is associated with good memories. Something that really takes me back."
@@metachirality not only am i everywhere, but also everywhen. which is why i am answering from 2021 and reminding you that we were indeed in this video at a point in time. yeah. yeahhhhhhhhhh................ this song still makes me feel good despite The Stuff Happening. also
im like 99% sure i commented here a little under a year ago saying that i never read homestuck and never would, but that somebody sent me this song and i liked it. i just finished year one. im almost done with friendsim. i have a 2000 word google doc about classpects. help me. checking in 2 months later and i've finished up act 5, FINALLY understand the quadrants, and giving the epilogue A Look.
This piece is so cheerful, but that low double bass is out of place, like something is wrong beneath the surface. That perfectly describes how it was used in the flash.
I have not read Homestuck nor do I know much about it, however, this song is so calming and comforting for me and idk why. It's just so sweet and nostalgic and it makes me feel super warm and fuzzy inside.
today I realized that my future won't involve alot of people who were once close to me before. home is a place of friendships but its also a place of convenience. after moving I've realized that my efforts weren't reciprocated but I still had such strong emotions for people who barely cared. today I've realized that my future won't have people who were once close to me. its so bittersweet, but you won't grow if youre surrounded by average present me, you grow by living for you.
If i remember correctly (haven't read homestuck in a while, probably gonna re-read it soon.) It's for the "vriska fix everything" or something like that ?
Back here for the nostalgia. 10 years ago I was struggling with mental health but i had some form of aspirations for the future. Now i'm in "the future" and things just seem to be getting worse.
This was the first ever song I heard from the homestuck soundtrack and I remember instantly falling in love with it when I first heard it. Even now, it's still so melancholic and nostalgic, it puts my heart at ease. After listening to moonsetter I went on to discover loads more homestuck music which I ended up loving as well. I'm convinced that the homestuck and undertale soundtracks are some of the best game/(webcomic) soundtracks I've ever heard, both of them are works of art
What do you feel about the Deltarune soundtrack? It's made by the same guy who created Undertale and some of Homestuck's music. (Also I get that this comment is a bit old)
@@tedtolliver572 I love the deltarune ost (very pleased w the chapter 2 soundtrack as well, with big shot being one of my favs) - it's thanks to acc getting into the game that helps the music hit harder i think. very atmospheric and full of personality - imo toby does a good job at capturing emotions and bringing them to life in his tracks :)
I like to use this song when I feel low or having a bad day. This song kind of brings me up after rough days and helps me look at things in a new light. Makes everything more beautiful and more worth seeing. It also is a big help when I'm frustrated. :3
@@GabrielquintasYT oh god yeah actually. I have this song in a study playlist nowadays for myself and still come back to it regularly. Can't believe its been 8 years since I commented, thanks for making me feel old lol
I just got reminded of that time he said that he splinters, but doesn't break. Then I see the sword that sends cracks through the shadow, and I finally understand this picture.
and the fact that dirk composed this! he put it together as a music producer, making other things too. but this is just WOW. doesn’t sound like something dirk would make, but in the background there’s so many notes and tunes that make it sound off! as if it’s trying to tell something. not only saying dirk wants to look as if a “cool dude” but really is just self absorbent being a heart player and how they are. He probably would be the sweetest and wouldn’t hide his eyes so much (also foreshadowing hiding of the soul) if it weren’t for the game and such. it’s just really interesting to think about things that are related to others. the things dirk make are just really interesting beside his character. thanks Toby Fox for making this absolute beautiful piece of work. i listen to this all the time.
*Hears song* Finally, a song that plays that when something goes right in this (amazing) clusterfuck of a story! *takes closer look at Dirk's shadow*.....Fuck you....
I love this song so much like it makes me so happy and feel a feeling I can't describe bit it's s good feeling, I feel so comfy and safe like I'm around a comfy fireplace with all my loved ones all having fun together, I love this song.
The music is very nostalgic. It seems to tell you about the good old days, but all the time it reminds you that these are just memories, and there are no friends or friends who were associated with the memories. It hits so hard.
It's really neat when things evolve, look at Toby Fox now. It all started with him just making music for animations and games and now...He's making the music for those games and those games are his! Also pretty neat thing about Toby is that his music never changes but does at the same time. You can see how this old song from him inspired him in Hometown day from DELTARUNE. 🔵
scrolling through these comments on these videos just hits me with so much nostalgia, i cant believe how old homestuck has gotten :') and after all these years this song still brings me so much comfort
This song and art gives an indescribable feeling, really. The music is overall joyful, but underlying with a tone melancholy, wondering, solitude... and something that I can't really put into words. And that picture just makes my heart hurt. This has to be one of my favorite songs in Homestuck, and Dirk is one of my favorite characters. Ugh so much depth ;~;
i absolutely love this song. i love this song so much that i made my own arrangement for it on the piano. i love my arrangement so much that i went to a fine arts competition my church went to and played it there. the judges loved it so much that i qualified for the national level in august because of it. it's crazy how influential a simple song can be in someone's life. toby fox is my goat. (I'm probably gonna upload my performance on my channel soon if you wanna see it it'll be there!)
This song is so nostalgic for me, like it embodies all the good aspects of Homestuck that were influential to me as a teenager. It holds those good times and keeps them suspended in a vacuum so tight I can *almost* forget the bad parts that drove me away. Such a good track.
This is the first part of homestuck I was introduced to. My friend didnt want to be obnoxious about the webcomic and told me to check out this song from it. All I knew about homestuck was that it had aliens in it amd that It had this song. I thoroughly injoyed it and listend to it alot while drawing. For a long time I thought the figure was a one horned alien who had dueld someone and had won. I thought the one he killed was represented by the shadow that even though it was gone it still clung to him. I always thought that the alien had been sad about their victory and the others death hense the Moody colors, bitter sweet music and all around melencoly picture. When I eventually read homestuck and found out about trolls I figured that he was one that wasnt introduced yet. Though I was wrong in the end that dosent change the fact that I love moonsetter and homestuck. :D
This song... Just summarizes the fun of 3 years with Vriska and sorrow of 3 years without Vriska. I was not fond of Vriska, but latest update and this song just made me.

im almost done with friendsim.
i have a 2000 word google doc about classpects.
help me.
checking in 2 months later and i've finished up act 5, FINALLY understand the quadrants, and giving the epilogue A Look.
You really can't fight the Homestuck hehe. :D welcome

subjectalpha11 oh god why
Haha i see what you did there!!...nice
Good one xD
+Almilia lol
....NO.....BAD SHADOW NO STOP NOW THAT IS NOT OK......NO...STOPSTOPSTOP.....NOOOOOOO
I was like: oh this song is really nice, i like it.
And then i saw this shawdow....
The feels ;-;
OH MY GOD I DIDN'T SEE THAT UNTIL NOW
The song is so nice but the shadow thing makes me so sad though... ;_;
It's really the sword's fault tbh
STABBED!
This piece is so cheerful, but that low double bass is out of place, like something is wrong beneath the surface. That perfectly describes how it was used in the flash.
I feel more like the bass (cello?) in the background adds more of a warm, friendly/nostalgic note to it. but that could just be me.
I personally love the added bass otherwise it wouldnt be as full
it is, in fact, cello!
What is the musical equivalent of irony?
what flash
I have not read Homestuck nor do I know much about it, however, this song is so calming and comforting for me and idk why. It's just so sweet and nostalgic and it makes me feel super warm and fuzzy inside.
today I realized that my future won't involve alot of people who were once close to me before. home is a place of friendships but its also a place of convenience. after moving I've realized that my efforts weren't reciprocated but I still had such strong emotions for people who barely cared. today I've realized that my future won't have people who were once close to me. its so bittersweet, but you won't grow if youre surrounded by average present me, you grow by living for you.
I liked how the flash associated with this song gave a nice breather from all the recent devastation in the story
If i remember correctly (haven't read homestuck in a while, probably gonna re-read it soon.)
It's for the "vriska fix everything" or something like that ?
Which flash is that again?
Back here for the nostalgia. 10 years ago I was struggling with mental health but i had some form of aspirations for the future. Now i'm in "the future" and things just seem to be getting worse.
This was the first ever song I heard from the homestuck soundtrack and I remember instantly falling in love with it when I first heard it. Even now, it's still so melancholic and nostalgic, it puts my heart at ease. After listening to moonsetter I went on to discover loads more homestuck music which I ended up loving as well. I'm convinced that the homestuck and undertale soundtracks are some of the best game/(webcomic) soundtracks I've ever heard, both of them are works of art
What do you feel about the Deltarune soundtrack? It's made by the same guy who created Undertale and some of Homestuck's music. (Also I get that this comment is a bit old)
@@tedtolliver572 I love the deltarune ost (very pleased w the chapter 2 soundtrack as well, with big shot being one of my favs) - it's thanks to acc getting into the game that helps the music hit harder i think. very atmospheric and full of personality - imo toby does a good job at capturing emotions and bringing them to life in his tracks :)
this song makes me want to cry but of happiness for some reason
CROWBAR 7️⃣
@@turtleboi456 hell yes
wtf this is a piece of art
ur a phony.
I like to use this song when I feel low or having a bad day. This song kind of brings me up after rough days and helps me look at things in a new light. Makes everything more beautiful and more worth seeing. It also is a big help when I'm frustrated. :3
Still listening after 8 years? :D
@@GabrielquintasYT oh god yeah actually. I have this song in a study playlist nowadays for myself and still come back to it regularly. Can't believe its been 8 years since I commented, thanks for making me feel old lol
@@edgytrashcan yiikes
@@fireflame413 thanks for bringing me back to this track yet again LMAO
Damn bro, 10 years.
I JUST NOTICED THE SHADOW OF DIRK AND THE SWORD ON HIM LIKE NOOOO FUCKING FEELS HOW DARE YOU!!!
+Misa chan I FINALLY GET IT AFTER ONE YEAR OH MY GOD
+Misa chan *sad MLG horns*
+Misa chan Wow, that's pretty fucking terrible.
I just got reminded of that time he said that he splinters, but doesn't break. Then I see the sword that sends cracks through the shadow, and I finally understand this picture.
Et tu brute?
and the fact that dirk composed this! he put it together as a music producer, making other things too. but this is just WOW. doesn’t sound like something dirk would make, but in the background there’s so many notes and tunes that make it sound off! as if it’s trying to tell something.
not only saying dirk wants to look as if a “cool dude” but really is just self absorbent being a heart player and how they are. He probably would be the sweetest and wouldn’t hide his eyes so much (also foreshadowing hiding of the soul) if it weren’t for the game and such.
it’s just really interesting to think about things that are related to others. the things dirk make are just really interesting beside his character.
thanks Toby Fox for making this absolute beautiful piece of work. i listen to this all the time.
Wait what? Wdym Dirk produced this?
No one can convince me Dirk isn't rambling his depressed monologue from Detective Pony in the picture.
*Hears song* Finally, a song that plays that when something goes right in this (amazing) clusterfuck of a story!
*takes closer look at Dirk's shadow*.....Fuck you....
+Kagome Coco *sadness*
The first Homestuck song I ever listened to. No regrets.
Yes. Beecome one of us.
(Pun intended)
I love this song so much like it makes me so happy and feel a feeling I can't describe bit it's s good feeling, I feel so comfy and safe like I'm around a comfy fireplace with all my loved ones all having fun together, I love this song.
this sounds like it's from a Studio Ghibli movie
I was thinking exactly the same XD
Me too
ive never seen a studio ghibli movie but i know its like the fat cat from japan or smthn im sorry please dont attack me
@@evieaxolotl dude if you don't mind, try listening to "Merry Go Round of Life". It's an iconic Studio Ghilbi soundtrack, it's just so damn beautiful.
@@evieaxolotl totoro?
gotta love when a song makes me miss the people who chased me off the internet.
happy almost-anniversary of that occurring btw assholes
Holy crap I stumbled upon this song again after not hearing it for awhile I'm in tears man
The katana stabbing Dirk....omg....I'm crying inside...
Fuck you
I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE SHADOW
now im sad
I WHAT
THIS WAS LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO
WYD
W O W
Ha
Goddammit I just got the picture
when the feels happen ;-;
Goddammit is the perfect reaction
The colours remind me of Rose's Scabbard
when i saw the picture for the first time I thought it was pearl
+Dave strudel wtf that was what I was thinking
TsunWolfiie lol
I was very confused until I remembered, oh wait... wrong rose
su fan lol
met a homestuck Cosplayer yesterday at a local con, they were so sweet! they gave me a sticker of their character in a tutu
this is one of my favorite songs off any of the albums im so glad it finally got a flash c':
I was seeing an meme with this Song, idk an don't care about Homestuck
But boy as I heard I instantly recognized toby style, amazing piece
One day im gonna grow up and remember all this homestuck stuff
The music is very nostalgic. It seems to tell you about the good old days, but all the time it reminds you that these are just memories, and there are no friends or friends who were associated with the memories. It hits so hard.
Nah, seeing "12 years ago" made my hair turn gray and my joints ache.
This song is so sweet it sounds like animal crossing music!!
not really
I didn't ask you. :)
Your so right :D
Mint Bunny that response was brutal omg
Mint Bunny well no need to be a douche about it
This song is like what having a crush feels like
After seeing this picture and it's shadow I sat and stared at the picture with my mouth wide open. That picture. Just. Feels.
Out of all the fabulous tracks in Homestuck and Hiveswap, this one has stuck with me. I don't know why.
listening to this in 2021 reminds me of a better time of just sitting in my room reading homestuck all day
This image takes on new meaning the further you get into Homestuck.
It's really neat when things evolve, look at Toby Fox now.
It all started with him just making music for animations and games and now...He's making the music for those games and those games are his!
Also pretty neat thing about Toby is that his music never changes but does at the same time. You can see how this old song from him inspired him in Hometown day from DELTARUNE.
🔵
I was one of those late homestuck readers, and i'm so glad i've come to the point where i now feel nostalgic about it
scrolling through these comments on these videos just hits me with so much nostalgia, i cant believe how old homestuck has gotten :') and after all these years this song still brings me so much comfort
AFTER YEARS, I'VE FOUND IT!!!!
THE MOST WHOLESOME MUSIC IN HOMESTUCK!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song and art gives an indescribable feeling, really. The music is overall joyful, but underlying with a tone melancholy, wondering, solitude... and something that I can't really put into words. And that picture just makes my heart hurt. This has to be one of my favorite songs in Homestuck, and Dirk is one of my favorite characters. Ugh so much depth ;~;
i absolutely love this song. i love this song so much that i made my own arrangement for it on the piano. i love my arrangement so much that i went to a fine arts competition my church went to and played it there. the judges loved it so much that i qualified for the national level in august because of it. it's crazy how influential a simple song can be in someone's life. toby fox is my goat.
(I'm probably gonna upload my performance on my channel soon if you wanna see it it'll be there!)
wow cool
now i'm arranging the Moonsweater version to play in a jazz combo at college! wooooo!
happy 413!
happy 413 a year later!
What a lovely tune
Hi Niko 👋
Hello Niko's🎉🥞🐈⬛️
this always makes me day, no questions
this was the first homestuck song I heard back in December 2021, don't regret that.
_crying_ i told you about swords bro, i told you dawg
I’ve been looking for this song for YEARS!!! FINALLY!!!!
I'll always love homestuck with all of my heart.
This is bound to one of the happiest period of my life… now gone forever…
But it’s still such a beautiful melody…
I set this as my alarm sound and I have never woken up so happy AGH
thats a good idea omh
Each time I listen to this song it makes me feel like crying of happiness
Homestuck had some of the best ost man I wish I went back to the good ass days..
same dude
This song is so nostalgic for me, like it embodies all the good aspects of Homestuck that were influential to me as a teenager. It holds those good times and keeps them suspended in a vacuum so tight I can *almost* forget the bad parts that drove me away. Such a good track.
This is the song that got me through a lot of incredible nostalgic moonlit nights back in 2015-2016
man i love hs music. all of it
it's all real beautiful
Even after all this time this song still brings me to tears what a beautiful composition 💚
This is the first part of homestuck I was introduced to. My friend didnt want to be obnoxious about the webcomic and told me to check out this song from it. All I knew about homestuck was that it had aliens in it amd that It had this song. I thoroughly injoyed it and listend to it alot while drawing. For a long time I thought the figure was a one horned alien who had dueld someone and had won. I thought the one he killed was represented by the shadow that even though it was gone it still clung to him. I always thought that the alien had been sad about their victory and the others death hense the Moody colors, bitter sweet music and all around melencoly picture. When I eventually read homestuck and found out about trolls I figured that he was one that wasnt introduced yet. Though I was wrong in the end that dosent change the fact that I love moonsetter and homestuck. :D
My mood gets 100x better whenever i hear this song
This is on my shower time Playlist I can't fucking BELIEVE ITS A HOMESTUCK SONG. IVE BEEN HOMESTUCKED.
This song... Just summarizes the fun of 3 years with Vriska and sorrow of 3 years without Vriska. I was not fond of Vriska, but latest update and this song just made me.
What about Jade? She spent 3 years that on ship alone.
***** You just made me sadder :(
***** Jade was with John...?
Diana Nguyen Spoilers!! In the new Timeline, John's planet exploded (I still don't know how, tho.). In Reality, John left Jade to make the current Timeline we all know. (Not all though)
FINALLY THIS GETS A FLASH
@geo weo i found it www.homestuck.com/story/7449
This is some Professor Layton-ass shit right here
Years later and this still does things to my heart whenever I listen to it
This is one of the rare songs that bring a tear to my eye every time. Like a blubbering baby.
