A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2016 is this young man's birthday. And though it was sixteen years ago he was given life- and he's made such a name for himself. and we are all so, so proud of him.
One of the most torturing parts about Homestuck is that no matter how much it seems like a video game to us, if it's a game over, we don't get to play again.
Its sad to think that 4 children, barely 13, had to go through so much. They missed birthdays, high school, things we take for granted. They also had to see people they loved being killed.
I'm just thinking about how scary it must have been to be in Davesprite's doomed timeline. Imagine 2/3rds of your friends dying, the strangers who said that they would help you cutting off all communication, doing everything you could to try and fix the mess you and your only other friend were in for 4 months, and having come to the realization that your in a doomed timeline. The only way to get out of it is to either not exist (Rose) or travel back in time, abandoning your only friend whom you'll never see again and becoming a lesser version of yourself (Dave).
+🌟 I like nice cream 🌟 i know! not everyone got a happy ending and while reading homestuck i was thinking "i cant wait to see them talk about this and all hang out and maybe theyll even lead normal lives and this will all just be that one story," but we didnt even get a falling action!
No but really it feels like hussie went out of his way not to use the best songs after act 5. Like he never used this , never used Another chance, Barely used killed by a br8k spider, and i don't remember him ever using the song cobalt theif. It's really sad
A young man stands tall. One time he was simply standing in his room. He never felt like doing this. He didn't even know he would be in this position a few years ago. He wouldn't have ever assumed that his planet would be destroyed. He left it behind them. He and his friends played a game. They encountered enemies. They met new friends. They went far... But he weeps sad tears now. Not happy ones. A world of pain the size of all the worlds he's seen stands before him. It was too much for him. But he still stands tall. A young troll stands in a similar matter. He stood in his room once. Him and a friend organized his other friends together. No matter how infuriating things have been for them, they have gone through thick and thin. Sometimes even more than thick or even more than thin. Nothing has been ordinary for them. At least for our standards. It's too much for both the young man and the young troll. They will meet the same fate as their now destroyed worlds. For the only worlds they know now is pain. It's finished for all of them. Their groups. You joined them once. Mostly, you watch them. Of course, all stories come to an end. Which, sadly, applies for theirs too. and this is around the end. Its over. Its done. Its the end. Its Game Over.
A young man stood in his bedroom. It just so happened that today, the 13th of April, was this young man’s birthday. Though it was eighteen years ago his story began, it was only five years ago he was given a name! But… It’s over now. You’re having trouble remembering… Who was this young man? and…. What did the name of this young man turn out to be?
I have one! A bedroom stands empty. Four years ago, a young man stood here. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, was this young mans birthday. Though it was seventeen years ago he has been given life, it has already been taken away from him. Or A young man once stood in this bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, was his birthday. Time has all but forgotten what this young man did, and what he could do. It was so many years ago that he was given life, yet, none remain who remembers his name.
AA: s0metimes im happy we l0st AA: because if y0u win AA: it means y0u gave en0ugh AA: but if y0u l0se AA: it means y0u gave everything y0u had AA: even if it still wasnt en0ugh
The Game is over, the battle won. All this toil and now you're done. Knight of Time and Heir of breath, Brothers in arms till the claim of Death. Seer of Light and Witch of Space, who carved this world a lovely shape, and all the 12 who stood so tall, against the odds they refused to fall, They take their rest to enjoy the now, So chin up, its time for one last bow.
Welp, the end of an era is coming to a close. When the final page has been reached, let us all play this. It is proof of a story about four kids trying to survive in a game where there's renegade agents, whole other worlds to explore, and shenanigans of all sorts. It shows that when we think we know everything about where we are, we need to venture out and discover new things for ourselves. It is proof of a story of twelve trolls who overcame hardships, endured a fight for their lives several times, and of the moments when Hope turned dark and Rage took over completely. It is proof that when a mistake is made, we need to do all we can to make everything restart. It won't be entirely perfect, but it can lead to a whole other story, with major and minor differences. All in all, this is proof that people all over the world, young and old, big fans or reading just out of boredom, have been drawn together by this comic. No other webcomic does that, from all I've seen. We will never all meet, but we are all tied by this one thing. This webcomic. We've seen when our favourite characters died. We've seen the moments when the ones we hated showed a side that makes us feel bad for them. We've laughed with them, cried for them, we've been with them every step of the way. And now...we're saying goodbye to these great characters. When we reach that final page, let this song be played. Let this song remind us of a great legacy. Never forget.
I've just read this out loud dramatically, with the song playing along. It soothed my mourning heart. I'm floating. That's beautiful... Thank you... ;u;
Four teenagers stand in a bedroom. Although it is 16 years ago they were given life, it is only today that they will be given names. And those names will live on forever in our hearts.
[Yes, and the Hetalia Fandom will get the letter that Homestuck had wrote him, telling him what to do. Hetalia would carry Homestuck to his questbed, and kill him. ]
Karkat Vantas [Dunno that the Hetalia fandom is the closest "friend fandom" to Homestuck, but I'm sure one of the fandoms will come along and do the job. Ya never know. But I can easily see that the Homestuck fandom ain't just gonna dissolve in the flask of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine that is time. (Oh good blue maui Jesus that was a horrible joke...the joke involves the shape of the compound resembling a clock similar in shape to the one used in Homestuck later on. Ya know. With the green curtains and all. Blargh.)]
You know every time I listen to this song I just think Look how far we've come Even if you just started Homestuck yesterday We've gone from a kid standing in his room on his birthday to that kid with all of his new and old friends about to fight a very powerful enemy then it's all going to end And the ones who never read it or think it's stupid will never know how inspirational and so many different feelings it really was And one day we'll all forget about this fandom But someone will remember it, look back and tell others about it The Homestuck fandom will then return and may live on for many years to come And when I think about that all I can do is smile (And cry ;^;)
Yes, someone will remember. Maybe that person will be one of my friends. Maybe my sis, or maybe even me. Because Homestuck-even if I'm not allowed to read it anymore-has saved my life.
I may be young but homestuck help me in life and now that its almost over I can't help but remember all the good times, I had cost play acting and even having real friend but I know, I can always read it again and again but it will never be the same because the first time is the best time, I love you homestuck and I say to all the shipping I love them all. I will miss you homestuck good day.
@@weenieman5066 I am but only for the music now. I've grown up alot I kinda dislike the fandom now sad to say. I don't cosplay anymore but sometimes I like to remember my nostalgia from 2012. Since that's when I was in freshman year of high school. Life is different now.
This feels very bittersweet. I'm almost offensively late to the fandom, but this definitely aged well. It's sad. This all started so long ago and it's already over, so many people have come and gone, yet we can all still come back and remember the past when this was still new. Even if we started late, the feeling of time seems so much longer. It's honestly quite calming. To everybody who has been here, whether it be today or all the way back when this was uploaded. I hope you're doing well. I think we all could do with some encouragement in life, so one day we can return again to a feeling like this. The feeling of a bittersweet past overshadowed by the future and present, yet still prevalent in a painfully sweet way. :]
welcome to the fandom! its alright that youre late, thanks for joining lol. this is honestly one of my favorite tracks because its so bittersweet, but its still nice to listen to.
I'm going through my whole Homestuck playlist and I'm going to cry. I'm going to miss this fandom so much and I know it has to end eventually but I'm just not ready. RIP Homestuck
Please... guys... don't let the fandom die... we've got an epilogue and a game, come on!! We can keep it alive... just like Gravity Falls. We don't want to see the Heir of Breath, the Knight of Time, the Seer of Light, and the Witch of Space left and forgotten, do we??! I might have become a Homestuck in June, but I'll be here for the epilogue and the game!! Guys please... don't forget Homestuck... keep the fandom alive... it would please the trolls, alphas, betas, and guardians. #KEEPTHEFANDOMALIVEFOREVER
+AJ Moon Undertale was what got me into the fandom.I'm a proud member of both fandoms.I defend nobody in flame wars,nor start any.They're both dear to my heart.Homestuck 2.0 and Undertale 2 couldn't possibly match up to what we already got.
I think this would be a good song to end the comic on. It's wistful, and at the end of the comic, the game will be over. Sometimes, a game over isn't a bad thing; sometimes, a game over is just the end of the game. It's sad, but in the end, everything will be all right.
a bedroom stands empty. Four years ago, a young man stood here. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, was this young man's birthday. Though it was 17 years ago he was given life, it has already been taken from him.
It's you. You're listening to this song again. It could be minutes, months, or years after reading homestuck. You lay down and close your heavy eyes An ambulance passes in the distance as the first notes of the song start. They seem to take forever, time moving like molasses All of the story of John and his freinds flow through your mind Tears come to your closed eyes and fall down your cheeks, through the break in your eyelashes You hear the song loop and finally come to a close You reach over and through blurry eyes you press restart.
all the years weve wondered why its homestuck when theyre not even stuck at home. but now. now were getting to it. a young man once stood in his bedroom. no one remembers his name though. he is the doctor. the healer of the universe. its time to fix everything that ever went wrong. its time to erase the events that led to death and suffering. time to erase the things that should have never happened. its time to go home. and never leave again.
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THATS PROBABLY HOW HOMESTUCK IS GONNA END AT THIS POINT *JOHN IS GOING TO UNDO ALL OF HOMESTUCK* ITS NEVER GOING TO HAVE HAPPENED SHIT SHIT SHIT *SHIT*
SomeGuyWithAFace9 they probably still have to have homestuck happen because the kids could only exist because they entered the game and messed with the ectobiology stuff
(I'll repost my earlier comment because people seemed to like it a lot. thank google.) The dust settles. The final battle against English has finally finished. All around, trolls and humans, living and dead, mourn the unfortunate double-dead. Still others celebrate their victory against impossible odds. Yet three humans stand in the center. Not a shred of joy can be found in their expressions. A witch is comforted by a seer. A favored pair of eyewear is discarded beside a knight, tears dripping from crimson eyes. The heir has won. The heir is dead. Game over.
Two months ago I was super depressed, suicidal throughs and all. I was listening to this song. Everytime, it makes me thought "Don't give up. Good times are coming" I was right ! Today I feel almost good ! Almost hOnK :o)
A boy stands in his room, he recently turned 21, 21 years ago he was given life, 8 years ago we learned his name. John Egbert. This name lies in the hearts of many, a name that so many shall never forget. He's had a long journey ever since that day 8 years ago. He's won. He's lost. He's lived. He's died. We've watched him go through this long journey and were there with him the whole time. It's been a long day, just like he knew it would be when he stood there on his 13th birthday. It's time to rest, time to let some new heroes into our hearts.
its been YEARS since i've even read homestuck. i never finished it but in middle school it was my favorite thing ever. Now im back 17 years old and senior year is coming up. im thinking back to where time has gone and i wish i could go back and relive it all over again. Growing up is truly the scariest thing.
Yah, Meat!John died near the end of the meat epilogue. Technically, though, I think Doc Scratch was wrong, cause he didn’t die a heroic death, he just died from anti-god-tier-venom that Lord English had for some reason, iirc
so I wanted to sing this song but it didn't have lyrics, and I was pretty disappointed so I made some, here's the lyrics if you'd like to read them :) : hey you, can you hear me? ah, it's been so long. I know, all those times we were together. hey now,don't you die here. they're all waiting for you. they love you, don't you know that, my dear? the breeze, once again, blows softly, lifting our spirits. and then, smiles and laughs, all reset and the game starts. the trolls, and the cheering. all the pestering. it was fun, while it lasted don't you think? {violet and red, and don't forget the green representing your own sister. and all the trolls that had talked to you why don't you stay alive? all of the pranks you had pulled though, had they been successful or not so? don't disappear, you'll miss too much, y'know? stop wasting your time here.} listen, do you hear me? stay awake and breathe. don't leave, all your friends here love you, so don't. son, I know you can do it and then, I promise you I'll see you soon enough, I'm so, so proud. [music with piano end ^u^]
In a Homestuck fandom, a person listening to this without at least feeling like crying is like a proper gentleman without a monocle. That is to say, HE CAN HARDLY BE CONSIDERED A TERRIBLY PROPER GENTLEMAN AT ALL.
It's been a while since the comic ended, but I would like to revisit this comment section one more time and pay my respects. Even though the comic is over, the fan games, spinoffs, fanart, and most especially the ideals, will never cease to remain in the minds of the millions that read Hussie's works. But the most important thing of all is to remember the comic, and as someone very wise once said, "Let's not be sad that it is over, but happy that it occurred and that we were there to witness its glory."
Verse[1] Now the game is won Time to set aside the death That were caused And now its time to Hold you chin up And bow Come again another day And say hey To the Knight of time, Heir of breath there friends till the end To the Seer of light , Witch of space who built the world up high To the twelve that stood and never fell Down to the death well I just want to remind You that we are all sad That It has ended But do not worry Chorus[x2] Oh say we must bring Life for another day We live our lives but me must Be kind Verse[2] Now the game is won Time to set aside the death That were caused And now its time to Hold you chin up And bow Come again another day And say hey To the Knight of time, Heir of breath there friends till the end TO the Seer of light , Witch of space who built the world up high To the twelve that stood and never fell Down to the death well I just want to remind You that we are all sad That It has ended But do not worry just a little song I thought up while listening to this. Please do not copy this. Thank you.
A young man once stood in his bedroom. It just so happened that on that day, the 13th of April 2009, was this man's birthday. Yet that was a long, long time ago... It numbs your mind thinking about it. This young man has grown up since then. You remember all the adventures he set out on, the friends he met, and the unfathomable foes he dueled. You recall the sudden shifts in power, the Scratch, and the chaos that burned two universes to the ground. You remember the adventures in other universes, and dream bubbles in the Furthest Ring, and demons and empresses and then all the killing. The blood... oh, there was so much of it. Too much of it. If only Serket... ...But... those memories are fading now. You can lay your head down and rest. You have given your scarf to that young man, as your very last gift to him. This was where your story would end, and his would continue on. For now, it was time for you to sleep. As you closed your eyes for one final time, you thought about what you were truly gifting him for a simple chance for his survival. GAME OVER for TEREZI PYROPE.
I cried, honestly just sat there with tears streaming down my face when John died. HE and the other kids and the trolls...they're not just characters anymore. THey're friends. BEcause whenever I've had a crappy day I know I can always come home and watch Homestuck, and see them work through their problems and I feel better because they're normal like me and it gives me hope that maybe I can deal with all the shit going on in my life.
I'll miss all of you but hey, we did it. Homestuck was planned to end by Hussie so many times on 4/13, even a year after it was made, but we convinced him, we inspired, we paid and we got to extend it's life farther than Tavros' horns. John was 13 at the beginning, he's 20 now, and you know what? Homestuck usually makes zero sense, like how Casey got so much lore, or the fact that most of their parents or originators end up being their brother, sister, or even child. But it was funny, it was charming, and in the words of Dave Strider, It was ironic. Now come on, lets go warn some people about stairs. : )
A young man stands in his bedroom. Indeed, it just so happens that today, April 13 of 2017, is this young man's birthday. Many years have gone by since we met this young man. We have seen so much of this young man and his friends. We have experienced so much of their victories and sorrows. We have invested our lives into this story. Perhaps it has been so long that people have forgotten about it. But today, we reflect on all the times and timelines we've had. Happy 4/13, everybody.
[CRINGE WARNING] Act 8 is uploaded. It's an [S] that reads "[S] Sburb" When clicked, you're brought to an animation beginning with everyone enjoying their new universe before being brought to a single area, with a giant message saying "Game Over! Play again? [Yes] [No]" everyone thinks for a little, before Game Over starts playing, and a flashback Montage of all the good times occurs. As the music comes to an end, so does the montage, and at the end of the song, everyone smiles, and looks at John, and John presses [Yes] The next advance button reads "[S] Play Again" and we are brought to a familiar sight. It is the first page, but now, John is smiling, wearing his god teir outfit, looking around his room and home, and then you hear Andrew Hussie..."A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is this young man's birthday. And though he has done this all before, and has grown so much, overcome great obstacles, and made many new friends, he is back to do it all again. And we are all so, SO proud of him. Now then," We are given a shot of John, just as his god teir outfit dissolves, replaced by his old cloths, and he's smiling, "What shall this young man's name be?" And through the [S], Songs of Skia will be playing. Pressing the next advance button will bring the reader to page 2, the original naming screen...
Everything is okay. Just put a smile on that face of yours, and watch the universe, in which you are a hero. A man sits with his best friends. Though it was 18 years ago he was given life, his story has already ended. And we are all so so proud of him. Happy Birthday John. We love you.
if this isnt reminding you on Kingdom Hearts you must have never played the game (talking about the picture, but the music reminds me a bit on twillight town)
god, its comment sections like this that really make me so sad. seeing what homestuck has become compared to what it was five years ago, there really are times where i wish i was born earlier. i don't think I'll ever feel what i felt with homestuck, and now, having grown up, i don't think I'll ever feel something comparable. i got into homestuck in 8th grade. i'm a junior now, so not many years have passed, but god, have things felt like static. i can't seem to figure out what's wrong with me. but back then, i really did feel true bliss. when i sat down in my friend's basement and watched a mituna and cronus fandub for the first time, I've never felt so alive. as shitty as times were, i really, really felt what it was to feel. nowadays nothing feels really the same. things are dull now, i can't describe it other than a mind fog. and sometimes ill try to look back at old homestuck videos i watched about four years ago, only to find out that these videos have been taken down or deleted. even now I'm trying to dig and dig to find SOMETHING that will let me feel even a kneescrape of what i had before. yet all i'm finding are dead ends. i can only dig far enough to see the glow of what could've been. of what i could've felt. and i'm starting to give up. homestuck really was the best thing that's happened to me, as shitty as it is. but homestuck is dead now. i watched the fandom fight so hard in the years i was in it, fighting to stay alive, and i really, _truly_ believed it would keep going. but it's over now. just a ghost town of what it was. it was a long, amazing run. and i do want to cry saying it, as pathetic as it is. there's nothing left for us here. we really did hit a game over with this fandom, huh?
i felt this way for a while. i got into it as a middle schooler, and i'm a sophomore in college now. it hurts to leave your childhood behind, and seeing dead links and x years old on pieces of media hurts in a special sort of new age way. yet, homestuck has left a unmistakable mark on pop culture. toby fox is out there making amazing video games, and has come a long way from hussie's basement. people are still churning out new content too, albeit at a smaller magnitude, but theres still a community if you look for it. i know there is a continual fan project continuing off the end of the comic, since the official version is bad. things.. aren't meant to go forever. it sucks. thinking about how 2016 was 6 years ago makes me kinda sick, honestly.
i do get what you said about dullness though. i feel like time is all messed up and i've been sitting in the theater far too long after the credits have rolled. very weird and bad feeling. i'm just trying to do the best i can, but things honestly suck a great amount right now just in general so its okay to be sad.
Homestuck's golden heyday may be long over but whether people loved it or hated it, the memories will live on. Besides... things are lot more chill now with the smaller and less rabid fanbase, lol.
And then, just as tears the tears start to fall, we see the words fade to black, the music ends, and a pinpoint of white light grows ever brighter and ever larger. The white light fills our screen, and once again, we meet our hero. A boy who just turned 13...
This is music represents death, not just the death of the characters, but the death of a story. We, all of us, are the only ones left to carry on the Fandom. We are all thats left. Lets make sure Homestuck is known for a very, very long time... -D.A.
Aw, this used to be my favorite song back when I was into this stuff... Even though I've left the comic behind, it makes me a little nostalgic. Like apologizing to a friend you walked out on. I remember this song reminding me of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, which was my first game, so it was nostalgic then, too :')
Two things. First of all, funny how much I, a Derse dreamer, agree wholly with this. Secondly, and more seriously, Homestuck has provided so much inspiration in both my literature and my music. It has so many stories within stories, and can provide endless inspirations to artists of every variety. It's amazing how something so simple and lighthearted can be so deep and meaningful. I'd finally like to thank you for the approval of the comment.
Welp.You and your friends did it!Everyones happy! Except some people of course.But...You feel like someone isn't satisfied.Someone, you hold dear.The audience.You decide to do something about this. [S] John & Friends: Do something we thought would never happen.....Reset.HOMESTUCK 2.0
4 months into Homestuck^2 and John has barely been mentioned by his “friends” that abandoned him to wallow in depression for 7 years. Fucking Rest In Peace the Heir of Breath.
This song is sad, in a cleansing 5he soul way. Almost like it's saying "things are sad now but it's sure to get better. Let your tears flow so you can smile tomorrow"
Who am I kidding. Even using my super-fast robotic AUTHOR AVATAR, I barely have time to do anything. Maybe I'll just level up these kids before they go, and that's it. They've earned it after all, don't you think? Homestuck page 4291

*Not to be confused with [S] Game Over, which is VERY different*
One is much more mindfuck than the other.
*WAY* TOO DIFFERENT
*wAY*
First time I saw this video
"oh. It doesn't sound like [S] Game Over."
When I was an idiot and didn't knew the OST I searched Gane Over Homestuck song and it was showing me this when I was looking for Carne Vale
I think of Homestuck in another way.

13 + 3 year meteor =16 so 16 is right
One of the most torturing parts about Homestuck is that no matter how much it seems like a video game to us, if it's a game over, we don't get to play again.
But other players can use the scratch, so it's like nothing happened.
***** Just how many sessions were they in, by that logic? How are we to know?
At least two.
ahhh i was talking about the comic ending ;^;
what does this even mean @ 2014 me
Its sad to think that 4 children, barely 13, had to go through so much. They missed birthdays, high school, things we take for granted. They also had to see people they loved being killed.
OH MY GOD four children who were thirteen
*GOD DAMMIT HUSSIE*
You accidentally said the number a few spaces apart friend
Eh, missing High School probably wasn’t much of a loss
@@figs-oliomedley dont forget the 6-sweep old trolls, comes in 12
God fucking damnit
I'm just thinking about how scary it must have been to be in Davesprite's doomed timeline.
Imagine 2/3rds of your friends dying, the strangers who said that they would help you cutting off all communication, doing everything you could to try and fix the mess you and your only other friend were in for 4 months, and having come to the realization that your in a doomed timeline. The only way to get out of it is to either not exist (Rose) or travel back in time, abandoning your only friend whom you'll never see again and becoming a lesser version of yourself (Dave).
BRO TWT WHYYY
You know what the saddest part of the homestuck ending was?
the best songs were never ever used
I WAS SO SAD THAT THIS WASNT USEDDD
I was so disappointed by the ending on so many levels
+🌟 I like nice cream 🌟 i know! not everyone got a happy ending and while reading homestuck i was thinking "i cant wait to see them talk about this and all hang out and maybe theyll even lead normal lives and this will all just be that one story," but we didnt even get a falling action!
All the nice songs came from alternate timelines we didnt get to see, but they want to be heard.
No but really it feels like hussie went out of his way not to use the best songs after act 5. Like he never used this , never used Another chance, Barely used killed by a br8k spider, and i don't remember him ever using the song cobalt theif. It's really sad
A young man stands tall.
One time he was simply standing in his room.
He never felt like doing this.
He didn't even know he would be in this position a few years ago.
He wouldn't have ever assumed that his planet would be destroyed.
He left it behind them.
He and his friends played a game.
They encountered enemies.
They met new friends.
They went far...
But he weeps sad tears now.
Not happy ones.
A world of pain the size of all the worlds he's seen stands before him.
It was too much for him.
But he still stands tall.
A young troll stands in a similar matter.
He stood in his room once.
Him and a friend organized his other friends together.
No matter how infuriating things have been for them, they have gone through thick and thin.
Sometimes even more than thick or even more than thin.
Nothing has been ordinary for them.
At least for our standards.
It's too much for both the young man and the young troll.
They will meet the same fate as their now destroyed worlds.
For the only worlds they know now is pain.
It's finished for all of them.
Their groups.
You joined them once.
Mostly, you watch them.
Of course, all stories come to an end.
Which, sadly, applies for theirs too.
and this is around the end.
Its over.
Its done.
Its the end.
Its Game Over.

A young man stood in his bedroom. It just so happened that today, the 13th of April, was this young man’s birthday. Though it was eighteen years ago his story began, it was only five years ago he was given a name!
But… It’s over now. You’re having trouble remembering… Who was this young man? and….
What did the name of this young man turn out to be?
+Lacy “Too gay for you” LaTray That- That made me cry ohmygod-
ZOOSMELL POOPLORD **sobs**
Prince Evan I believe his name is John Egbert, Heir of Breath
I have one!
A bedroom stands empty. Four years ago, a young man stood here. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, was this young mans birthday. Though it was seventeen years ago he has been given life, it has already been taken away from him.
Or
A young man once stood in this bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, was his birthday. Time has all but forgotten what this young man did, and what he could do. It was so many years ago that he was given life, yet, none remain who remembers his name.
of all these type of comments in this vid, this one hits me the hardest, idk why that last line just huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurts
AA: s0metimes im happy we l0st
AA: because if y0u win
AA: it means y0u gave en0ugh
AA: but if y0u l0se
AA: it means y0u gave everything y0u had
AA: even if it still wasnt en0ugh
Noooooo I'm already crying how dare you do this to my feels
THE FEELS
Time on my feels
If your happy sometimes when I lose, does that make you a [Insert Undertale character here]?
The Game is over, the battle won.
All this toil and now you're done.
Knight of Time and Heir of breath, Brothers in arms till the claim of Death.
Seer of Light and Witch of Space, who carved this world a lovely shape,
and all the 12 who stood so tall,
against the odds they refused to fall,
They take their rest to enjoy the now,
So chin up, its time for one last bow.
comments like these keep raising my hope that this is the last song played
+sugrAlice AHA YOUR HEART MUST'VE BEEN CRUSHED
+MIIIISAAAAKIIII Well that took a rapid turn.
+Alexer “Alex” Zoderia THEN EVERYTHINGS OVER
RIP
Holy shit you're a legend.
I want this to be played at my funeral.
Seriously.
Me too. It's such a great music, it inspire me so much things about my life ! Could definitly end it with this.
Dimitri Launay IKR
+Sam ZXW (:) SAMEE ;-;
i would want this to be played then Mother Piano . Homestucks music is one of the best parts
***** Yeah, same here
Welp, the end of an era is coming to a close.
When the final page has been reached, let us all play this.
It is proof of a story about four kids trying to survive in a game where there's renegade agents, whole other worlds to explore, and shenanigans of all sorts. It shows that when we think we know everything about where we are, we need to venture out and discover new things for ourselves.
It is proof of a story of twelve trolls who overcame hardships, endured a fight for their lives several times, and of the moments when Hope turned dark and Rage took over completely.
It is proof that when a mistake is made, we need to do all we can to make everything restart. It won't be entirely perfect, but it can lead to a whole other story, with major and minor differences.
All in all, this is proof that people all over the world, young and old, big fans or reading just out of boredom, have been drawn together by this comic. No other webcomic does that, from all I've seen. We will never all meet, but we are all tied by this one thing. This webcomic.
We've seen when our favourite characters died. We've seen the moments when the ones we hated showed a side that makes us feel bad for them. We've laughed with them, cried for them, we've been with them every step of the way.
And now...we're saying goodbye to these great characters.
When we reach that final page, let this song be played. Let this song remind us of a great legacy.
Never forget.
You, sir/madam , are in need of an award for that beautiful paragraph. I'm happy to have people like you in the same fandom. *wipes away a manly tear*
Thanks.
I've just read this out loud dramatically, with the song playing along. It soothed my mourning heart. I'm floating. That's beautiful... Thank you... ;u;
Horrorfan1 but i don't really like this song.
you don't like it? well, a lot of stuff's like marmite: you either like it or you don't. perfectly fine.
Four teenagers stand in a bedroom.
Although it is 16 years ago they were given life, it is only today that they will be given names.
And those names will live on forever in our hearts.
Thanks for playing
-Homestuck
in short homestuck will end but it will never die
I REMEMBER FROM SOME WEIRD HUMAN'S VIRTUAL SPEECH PLASTERED SOMEWHERE ON GRUBTUBE THAT 'FANDOMS DON'T DIE, THEY JUST GO GOD TIER.'
Karkat Vantas hell yes it might be done but we will keep it going all of us from the oldest fan to the youngest one it will never die
Karkat Vantas Yes, but the fandom would have to die on a Quest Bed for that to work, now, wouldn't it? *shot and stabbed*
[Yes, and the Hetalia Fandom will get the letter that Homestuck had wrote him, telling him what to do. Hetalia would carry Homestuck to his questbed, and kill him. ]
Karkat Vantas [Dunno that the Hetalia fandom is the closest "friend fandom" to Homestuck, but I'm sure one of the fandoms will come along and do the job. Ya never know. But I can easily see that the Homestuck fandom ain't just gonna dissolve in the flask of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine that is time. (Oh good blue maui Jesus that was a horrible joke...the joke involves the shape of the compound resembling a clock similar in shape to the one used in Homestuck later on. Ya know. With the green curtains and all. Blargh.)]
You know every time I listen to this song I just think
Look how far we've come
Even if you just started Homestuck yesterday
We've gone from a kid standing in his room on his birthday to that kid with all of his new and old friends
about to fight a very powerful enemy
then it's all going to end
And the ones who never read it or think it's stupid will never know how inspirational and so many different feelings it really was
And one day we'll all forget about this fandom
But someone will remember it, look back and tell others about it
The Homestuck fandom will then return and may live on for many years to come
And when I think about that all I can do is smile
(And cry ;^;)
+mew_ichiikat {HIATUS} I think you mean Reme8er
milo goodfellow bye
My thoughts exactly.
Yes, someone will remember. Maybe that person will be one of my friends. Maybe my sis, or maybe even me. Because Homestuck-even if I'm not allowed to read it anymore-has saved my life.
+mew_ichiikat A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A. I'm screaming very mournfully.
This Makes me uncontrollably cry now, more than it already did.

I may be young but homestuck help me in life and now that its almost over I can't help but remember all the good times, I had cost play acting and even having real friend but I know, I can always read it again and again but it will never be the same because the first time is the best time, I love you homestuck and I say to all the shipping I love them all. I will miss you homestuck good day.
Hollow Lucifer are you still there?
:’)
@@weenieman5066 yes I am here.
Hollow Lucifer cool! Wondering if you were still into homestuck
@@weenieman5066 I am but only for the music now. I've grown up alot I kinda dislike the fandom now sad to say. I don't cosplay anymore but sometimes I like to remember my nostalgia from 2012. Since that's when I was in freshman year of high school. Life is different now.
These feels...
I can't--
No-!
STAP!!!
*Runs away bawling my eyes out*
This feels very bittersweet. I'm almost offensively late to the fandom, but this definitely aged well.
It's sad. This all started so long ago and it's already over, so many people have come and gone, yet we can all still come back and remember the past when this was still new. Even if we started late, the feeling of time seems so much longer.
It's honestly quite calming.
To everybody who has been here, whether it be today or all the way back when this was uploaded. I hope you're doing well. I think we all could do with some encouragement in life, so one day we can return again to a feeling like this. The feeling of a bittersweet past overshadowed by the future and present, yet still prevalent in a painfully sweet way. :]
welcome to the fandom! its alright that youre late, thanks for joining lol.
this is honestly one of my favorite tracks because its so bittersweet, but its still nice to listen to.
Still it was so long ago nostalgia makes me sad
👏
I joined late too, it's okay, we still have so much to find out
I'm going through my whole Homestuck playlist and I'm going to cry. I'm going to miss this fandom so much and I know it has to end eventually but I'm just not ready. RIP Homestuck
+Mandy Granger I'm going to miss reading it and a lot of the fandom. But eventually, we'll come back and remember the feelings we were given.
+Mandy Granger Yeah. I'll remember Homestuck and probably 4 years or so later I'll be back trying to read this shit I got into 4 years ago.
+Dat Weird 69er Yeah, it was really something special.
+Mandy Granger It's okay. Trust me, some of us won't be leaving for a long time.
TabbyCatComics True dat!
Please... guys... don't let the fandom die... we've got an epilogue and a game, come on!! We can keep it alive... just like Gravity Falls. We don't want to see the Heir of Breath, the Knight of Time, the Seer of Light, and the Witch of Space left and forgotten, do we??! I might have become a Homestuck in June, but I'll be here for the epilogue and the game!! Guys please... don't forget Homestuck... keep the fandom alive... it would please the trolls, alphas, betas, and guardians. #KEEPTHEFANDOMALIVEFOREVER
Remember guys! A great fandom doesn't die! It god-tiers!
At least keep the Undertale fandom alive too.That's what got most people into homestuck in late 2015 and in 2016
+Hero_of_Legend Yeah, Undertale was responsible for my choice to join Homestuck. We have to keep Undertale's fandom alive too.
+SoraOkami Gamer Right... while Undertale wasn't the one responsible for me reading the webcomic, it's still something I keep close to my heart.
+AJ Moon Undertale was what got me into the fandom.I'm a proud member of both fandoms.I defend nobody in flame wars,nor start any.They're both dear to my heart.Homestuck 2.0 and Undertale 2 couldn't possibly match up to what we already got.
I can't believe there's only one update left :(
I'll miss it so much
I think this would be a good song to end the comic on. It's wistful, and at the end of the comic, the game will be over. Sometimes, a game over isn't a bad thing; sometimes, a game over is just the end of the game. It's sad, but in the end, everything will be all right.
BUT NOPE, IT WASNT IN THE COMIC AT ALL
a bedroom stands empty. Four years ago, a young man stood here. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, was this young man's birthday. Though it was 17 years ago he was given life, it has already been taken from him.
NO THAT COMMENT IS NOT OKAY
For a long time thought that this was a picture of John with a tentacle coming out of his chest for some reason
I CANNOT UNSEE IT
god fucking dammit
Fuck sakes
The Red Miles.
Samantha Strickland IT'S NOT A TENTACLE IT'S BLOOD COMING OUT OF JOHN WHEN WAS STAB BY JACK!
It's you.
You're listening to this song again.
It could be minutes, months, or years after reading homestuck.
You lay down and close your heavy eyes
An ambulance passes in the distance as the first notes of the song start.
They seem to take forever, time moving like molasses
All of the story of John and his freinds flow through your mind
Tears come to your closed eyes and fall down your cheeks, through the break in your eyelashes
You hear the song loop and finally come to a close
You reach over and through blurry eyes you press restart.
Yeah, Homestuck^2 never existed
*We don’t talk about Homestuck^2.*
@@FiSH-iSH We don't talk about Homestuck*
all the years weve wondered why its homestuck when theyre not even stuck at home.
but now. now were getting to it.
a young man once stood in his bedroom. no one remembers his name though.
he is the doctor. the healer of the universe.
its time to fix everything that ever went wrong.
its time to erase the events that led to death and suffering. time to erase the things that should have never happened.
its time to go home.
and never leave again.
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
THATS PROBABLY HOW HOMESTUCK IS GONNA END AT THIS POINT
*JOHN IS GOING TO UNDO ALL OF HOMESTUCK*
ITS NEVER GOING TO HAVE HAPPENED
SHIT SHIT SHIT *SHIT*
SomeGuyWithAFace9 they probably still have to have homestuck happen because the kids could only exist because they entered the game and messed with the ectobiology stuff
watch this be the ending song to homestuck i would cry so hard
Siobhan Scare omg you know how many times i've been told that XD
no please dont cry i'll probably break down crying with those people aswell if this is the ending song
probably since the majority of the homestuck fandom knows that song
(I'll repost my earlier comment because people seemed to like it a lot. thank google.)
The dust settles. The final battle against English has finally finished. All around, trolls and humans, living and dead, mourn the unfortunate double-dead. Still others celebrate their victory against impossible odds. Yet three humans stand in the center. Not a shred of joy can be found in their expressions. A witch is comforted by a seer. A favored pair of eyewear is discarded beside a knight, tears dripping from crimson eyes. The heir has won. The heir is dead. Game over.
Ow my feels! Beautifully typed though!
thank you!
I GIVE YOU 100000000/10!!

"Oh no john gonna die in the next flash " they said " JOhns gonna be the only one dead in the Game Over part" they said
thEY WERE SO WRONG
It didn't stick though, they get a second go around.
wikieditspam k but did you consider that maybe this comment was written BEFORE that happened?
a nun I know, it's just that we have a lot to look forward too now. A lot that will be effortlessly skimmed over in some sort of sub act.
IN FACT JOHN WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE NOT DEAD LOL
+Toddler-Kit and now he is infinitely-1 dead.
Two months ago I was super depressed, suicidal throughs and all.
I was listening to this song. Everytime, it makes me thought "Don't give up. Good times are coming"
I was right ! Today I feel almost good !
Almost

BUT THEY DON'T DIE
THEY GOD TIER
FUCK I'M STILL IN DENIAL
But you are right with the announcement of 2.0!
I am in denial too, friend... i am too

A boy stands in his room, he recently turned 21, 21 years ago he was given life, 8 years ago we learned his name. John Egbert. This name lies in the hearts of many, a name that so many shall never forget. He's had a long journey ever since that day 8 years ago. He's won. He's lost. He's lived. He's died. We've watched him go through this long journey and were there with him the whole time. It's been a long day, just like he knew it would be when he stood there on his 13th birthday. It's time to rest, time to let some new heroes into our hearts.
its been YEARS since i've even read homestuck. i never finished it but in middle school it was my favorite thing ever. Now im back 17 years old and senior year is coming up. im thinking back to where time has gone and i wish i could go back and relive it all over again. Growing up is truly the scariest thing.
Hey, it's never to late to finish it. I'm sure you've seen spoilers, but still, maybe something there will be more than you'd hoped. Who knows?
according to doc scratch. john will die for good through a heroic death and when it happens i am goiNG TO CRY MY FUCKIN EYES OUT DEAR LORD
Never happened, he lives, but he did "die" I think, though I can't remember
Yah, Meat!John died near the end of the meat epilogue. Technically, though, I think Doc Scratch was wrong, cause he didn’t die a heroic death, he just died from anti-god-tier-venom that Lord English had for some reason, iirc
so I wanted to sing this song but it didn't have lyrics, and I was pretty disappointed so I made some, here's the lyrics if you'd like to read them :) :
hey you, can you hear me?
ah, it's been so long.
I know, all those times we were together.
hey now,don't you die here.
they're all waiting for
you.
they love you,
don't you know that, my dear?
the breeze, once again, blows softly, lifting our spirits.
and then, smiles and laughs, all reset and the game starts.
the trolls, and the cheering.
all the pestering.
it was fun, while it lasted
don't you think?
{violet and red, and don't forget the
green representing your own sister.
and all the trolls that had talked to you
why don't you stay alive?
all of the pranks you had pulled though,
had they been successful or not so?
don't disappear, you'll miss too much, y'know?
stop wasting your time here.}
listen, do you hear me?
stay awake and breathe.
don't leave,
all your friends here love you, so don't.
son, I know you can do it
and then, I promise you
I'll see you soon enough,
I'm so, so proud.
[music with piano end ^u^]
May i make a cover and use these lyrics? Ill give you credit vwv
Woah... Chills.
***** go ahead :D tell me when it's released, i'd really like to hear it ^,^ Thanks a bunch :33
***** thanks and uh sorry? XD
I'm crying... the lyrics go so right with the song... thank you for your beautiful mind.... :')
anybody else find it ironic the character we worried about dying ended up one of the few remaining?
OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE I'VE BEEN A PART OF THE HOMESTUCK AND KINGDOM HEARTS FANBASES FOR 6 YEARS AND I JUST NOW GOT THE REFERENCE HERE
In a Homestuck fandom, a person listening to this without at least feeling like crying is like a proper gentleman without a monocle. That is to say, HE CAN HARDLY BE CONSIDERED A TERRIBLY PROPER GENTLEMAN AT ALL.
i have tear sockets of steel! but i am sad....
Here after the Epilogue. Hoping John can finally find his happy life which he truly deserves. Happy 4/13 everyone!
It's been a while since the comic ended, but I would like to revisit this comment section one more time and pay my respects. Even though the comic is over, the fan games, spinoffs, fanart, and most especially the ideals, will never cease to remain in the minds of the millions that read Hussie's works. But the most important thing of all is to remember the comic, and as someone very wise once said, "Let's not be sad that it is over, but happy that it occurred and that we were there to witness its glory."
He Was Only 13!
That-no. Stop. Do not remind me of his age.
16 when he starts teleporting all over.
feels feels so many feels help omg judt no ;-;
I swear if hussie ends homestuck like this im going to explode.
Don't worry, I'm 100% sure that this won't happen. But if he does, so many fans will make an army and search the earth for him in order to kill him.
He'll just kill the army? simple.
Yeah, so about tracking down hussie and killing him? yeah, even though not ALL the characters are dead....
IT'S
ABOUT
TO
GO
DOWN.
Yeah don't worry I live right outside boston and will personally hunt him down if that does happen.
I swear to god, If it ends like this I will have a mental breakdown.
When ever I listen to this song I remember all the good times in homestuck
Erin why XD I found ya
LOL why u listening to this sad song
Tess will never be forgotten ever.
Never.
Game Over to you, Homestuck. Been good knowing you. Hope we can play again.
He's in the same floating position as Sora! I love it!
This hits a lot harder after knowing John's fate in the Epilogues.
Dear lord, yeah. Right on down to the wound on the chest.
He survives in Candy, but he's mega depressed so it doesn't matter.
I just came here from the ending...HELP MY ACHING HEART.

Verse[1]
Now the game is won
Time to set aside the death
That were caused
And now its time to
Hold you chin up
And bow
Come again another day
And say hey
To the Knight of time, Heir of breath there friends till the end
To the Seer of light , Witch of space who built the world up high
To the twelve that stood and never fell
Down to the death well
I just want to remind
You that we are all sad
That It has ended
But do not worry
Chorus[x2]
Oh say we must bring
Life for another day
We live our lives but me must
Be kind
Verse[2]
Now the game is won
Time to set aside the death
That were caused
And now its time to
Hold you chin up
And bow
Come again another day
And say hey
To the Knight of time, Heir of breath there friends till the end
TO the Seer of light , Witch of space who built the world up high
To the twelve that stood and never fell
Down to the death well
I just want to remind
You that we are all sad
That It has ended
But do not worry
just a little song I thought up while listening to this. Please do not copy this. Thank you.
A young man once stood in his bedroom. It just so happened that on that day, the 13th of April 2009, was this man's birthday. Yet that was a long, long time ago... It numbs your mind thinking about it.
This young man has grown up since then. You remember all the adventures he set out on, the friends he met, and the unfathomable foes he dueled. You recall the sudden shifts in power, the Scratch, and the chaos that burned two universes to the ground. You remember the adventures in other universes, and dream bubbles in the Furthest Ring, and demons and empresses and then all the killing. The blood... oh, there was so much of it. Too much of it. If only Serket...
...But... those memories are fading now. You can lay your head down and rest. You have given your scarf to that young man, as your very last gift to him. This was where your story would end, and his would continue on. For now, it was time for you to sleep. As you closed your eyes for one final time, you thought about what you were truly gifting him for a simple chance for his survival.
GAME OVER for TEREZI PYROPE.
I cried, honestly just sat there with tears streaming down my face when John died. HE and the other kids and the trolls...they're not just characters anymore. THey're friends. BEcause whenever I've had a crappy day I know I can always come home and watch Homestuck, and see them work through their problems and I feel better because they're normal like me and it gives me hope that maybe I can deal with all the shit going on in my life.
It's beautiful like a lullaby, yet fragile. Thanks for the feels ..
I'll miss all of you but hey, we did it. Homestuck was planned to end by Hussie so many times on 4/13, even a year after it was made, but we convinced him, we inspired, we paid and we got to extend it's life farther than Tavros' horns. John was 13 at the beginning, he's 20 now,
and you know what? Homestuck usually makes zero sense, like how Casey got so much lore, or the fact that most of their parents or originators end up being their brother, sister, or even child. But it was funny, it was charming, and in the words of Dave Strider,
It was ironic.
Now come on,
lets go warn some people about stairs.
: )
A young man stands in his bedroom.
Indeed, it just so happens that today, April 13 of 2017, is this young man's birthday.
Many years have gone by since we met this young man. We have seen so much of this young man and his friends. We have experienced so much of their victories and sorrows. We have invested our lives into this story. Perhaps it has been so long that people have forgotten about it. But today, we reflect on all the times and timelines we've had.
Happy 4/13, everybody.
[CRINGE WARNING]
Act 8 is uploaded. It's an [S] that reads "[S] Sburb"
When clicked, you're brought to an animation beginning with everyone enjoying their new universe before being brought to a single area, with a giant message saying "Game Over! Play again? [Yes] [No]" everyone thinks for a little, before Game Over starts playing, and a flashback Montage of all the good times occurs. As the music comes to an end, so does the montage, and at the end of the song, everyone smiles, and looks at John, and John presses [Yes]
The next advance button reads "[S] Play Again" and we are brought to a familiar sight. It is the first page, but now, John is smiling, wearing his god teir outfit, looking around his room and home, and then you hear Andrew Hussie..."A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is this young man's birthday. And though he has done this all before, and has grown so much, overcome great obstacles, and made many new friends, he is back to do it all again. And we are all so, SO proud of him. Now then," We are given a shot of John, just as his god teir outfit dissolves, replaced by his old cloths, and he's smiling, "What shall this young man's name be?" And through the [S], Songs of Skia will be playing. Pressing the next advance button will bring the reader to page 2, the original naming screen...

Collin Garrison I thought my writing was cringy
I was watching home stuck and this song came on and I wanted to cry. Its a really sweet song that just brings memories back to me. Thank u.....
//Game over for homestuck has such a different meaning now -
Everything is okay. Just put a smile on that face of yours, and watch the universe, in which you are a hero.
A man sits with his best friends. Though it was 18 years ago he was given life, his story has already ended.
And we are all so so proud of him.
Happy Birthday John. We love you.
if this isnt reminding you on Kingdom Hearts you must have never played the game (talking about the picture, but the music reminds me a bit on twillight town)
The sound of rain falling against my window combined with this music as I read that paragraph. Tears filling my eyes.
the art for this, its done in almost the exact same way as the Kingdom Hearts death screen.
I f*cking love Kingdom Hearts O-O
Coming back to this after so many years feels like coming back home after a long, endless trip. I missed this so much.
god, its comment sections like this that really make me so sad. seeing what homestuck has become compared to what it was five years ago, there really are times where i wish i was born earlier. i don't think I'll ever feel what i felt with homestuck, and now, having grown up, i don't think I'll ever feel something comparable.
i got into homestuck in 8th grade. i'm a junior now, so not many years have passed, but god, have things felt like static. i can't seem to figure out what's wrong with me. but back then, i really did feel true bliss. when i sat down in my friend's basement and watched a mituna and cronus fandub for the first time, I've never felt so alive. as shitty as times were, i really, really felt what it was to feel.
nowadays nothing feels really the same. things are dull now, i can't describe it other than a mind fog. and sometimes ill try to look back at old homestuck videos i watched about four years ago, only to find out that these videos have been taken down or deleted. even now I'm trying to dig and dig to find SOMETHING that will let me feel even a kneescrape of what i had before. yet all i'm finding are dead ends. i can only dig far enough to see the glow of what could've been. of what i could've felt. and i'm starting to give up.
homestuck really was the best thing that's happened to me, as shitty as it is. but homestuck is dead now. i watched the fandom fight so hard in the years i was in it, fighting to stay alive, and i really, _truly_ believed it would keep going. but it's over now. just a ghost town of what it was.
it was a long, amazing run. and i do want to cry saying it, as pathetic as it is. there's nothing left for us here.
we really did hit a game over with this fandom, huh?
mhmmm it's sad
😔
i felt this way for a while. i got into it as a middle schooler, and i'm a sophomore in college now. it hurts to leave your childhood behind, and seeing dead links and x years old on pieces of media hurts in a special sort of new age way. yet, homestuck has left a unmistakable mark on pop culture. toby fox is out there making amazing video games, and has come a long way from hussie's basement. people are still churning out new content too, albeit at a smaller magnitude, but theres still a community if you look for it. i know there is a continual fan project continuing off the end of the comic, since the official version is bad. things.. aren't meant to go forever. it sucks. thinking about how 2016 was 6 years ago makes me kinda sick, honestly.
i do get what you said about dullness though. i feel like time is all messed up and i've been sitting in the theater far too long after the credits have rolled. very weird and bad feeling. i'm just trying to do the best i can, but things honestly suck a great amount right now just in general so its okay to be sad.
why does this make me feel so sad
... This is beautiful. just beautiful... it brings out the sadder side of Homestuck like gold.
GAME OVER?
NO...
IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

its 9/14/17
Homestuck's golden heyday may be long over but whether people loved it or hated it, the memories will live on.
Besides... things are lot more chill now with the smaller and less rabid fanbase, lol.
fuck, why am I crying. This shit is old but still manages to have a tear roll down my eye
And then, just as tears the tears start to fall, we see the words fade to black, the music ends, and a pinpoint of white light grows ever brighter and ever larger. The white light fills our screen, and once again, we meet our hero. A boy who just turned 13...
*413*
4, 13 year olds played a game and...
The music already made me close to tears. Reading your little story to go with it and I am now officially crying my eyes out.
I need to play this in my piano to remeber homestuck
This is music represents death, not just the death of the characters, but the death of a story. We, all of us, are the only ones left to carry on the Fandom. We are all thats left. Lets make sure Homestuck is known for a very, very long time... -D.A.
Dammit I'm crying again
Nice cowboy hat
Jay J Its a Fedora excuse you *tips fedora*
It all just started with 1 man in his bedroom. Every time I hear this... I shed a tear on how far this fandom has come.
I hope everyone doing fine now, we know we will never forget this fandom right. _right?_
right.

So many feeling packed into one song ;A;
Music box type songs always hit me hard in the feels... ;u;
I find this just as sad as when i first found it a couple of years ago.
I honestly didn't know I was crying until I saw a reflection of myself... beautifully sad song... still one of my favorites
Aw, this used to be my favorite song back when I was into this stuff... Even though I've left the comic behind, it makes me a little nostalgic. Like apologizing to a friend you walked out on.
I remember this song reminding me of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, which was my first game, so it was nostalgic then, too :')

Two things. First of all, funny how much I, a Derse dreamer, agree wholly with this. Secondly, and more seriously, Homestuck has provided so much inspiration in both my literature and my music. It has so many stories within stories, and can provide endless inspirations to artists of every variety. It's amazing how something so simple and lighthearted can be so deep and meaningful. I'd finally like to thank you for the approval of the comment.
I'm like currently thinking of vriska holding Terezis hand as she dies
Thanks for playing!
Welp.You and your friends did it!Everyones happy! Except some people of course.But...You feel like someone isn't satisfied.Someone, you hold dear.The audience.You decide to do something about this. [S] John & Friends: Do something we thought would never happen.....Reset.HOMESTUCK 2.0
now.... homestuck^2 is here... oh man-
All of the fandom will never disappear as long as I'm around. I have two friends that love Homestuck, as well as myself. It will not completely die.
AND NOW FOR 40000 YEARS OF CRYING
ohmygod i remember listening to this on repeat three years ago and it just popped up in my recommended again and ohmYGOD MEMORIES
4 months into Homestuck^2 and John has barely been mentioned by his “friends” that abandoned him to wallow in depression for 7 years. Fucking Rest In Peace the Heir of Breath.
I´ve been looking for this song so hard, I had it stuck in my head and couldn't remember what it was. So glad I finally found it :'D
things are only precious because they end
This song is sad, in a cleansing 5he soul way. Almost like it's saying "things are sad now but it's sure to get better. Let your tears flow so you can smile tomorrow"
*the (no idea how the five got there, it's on a completely different keyboard on my phone)
Who am I kidding. Even using my super-fast robotic AUTHOR AVATAR, I barely have time to do anything.
Maybe I'll just level up these kids before they go, and that's it.
They've earned it after all, don't you think?

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2016 is this young man's birthday. And though it was sixteen years ago he was given life-
and had made such a name for himself-
it was just now taken from him.
