I really like the original concept of God Tiering. In order to do it, you need to make the ultimate sacrifice. You have to be willing to give your life for the power it brings.
+Classtoise And yet at the same time if you are really shy about doing anyhting of self harm, and you DON'T god tier, your party might not win the game.
Classtoise in a game like that there is no room for bein shy. Damn I’d probably have to push myself out of my shell. Just a side not I love how we all like to imagine how we’d handle this stuff in these situations
Whenever I watch this I am reminded of the position WV was in and it brings me to tears every time. He sees his friend lying there, dead. First pleading for him to rise up, stop pretending, he raises his voice to a pleading shout: "JOHN. RISE UP." And suddenly, the flash happens.
It's also probably because they think the visuals don't look good enough for them. But to any artist who has taken a closer look you can easily see that besides the simplicity of the drawings, Hussie draws extremely powerful poses, and is able to convey facial expressions and body language to the audience very well. Not to mention the amazing special effects he makes. And even then, if the originality of the character and world designs and the story can't convince them then Im out of ammo.
Whenever I watch old homestuck animations it brings a tear to my eye, which is weird because it's not a sad feeling. I just get thinking about all the stuff we've been through since the beginning and how ridiculous/crazy/epic it all was. It doesn't hurt either that the music is freakin awesome.
I think this was one of the saddest flashes with his death and all, but I was in awe when John came back as God tier. It was amazing, which makes this one of my favourites.
I've always had a question about god tier when you die and god tier, does your sentience remain in your god tier or is your god tier a new you who retains your memories
I think the Dream Self and you swap places, including your dream self taking on your wounds. You are literally swapping positions. It dies, you live on.
The worst part, I think, is tgat WV looks so hopeful when he watches the screen. He saw this before, his friend will be okay. But then he dies completely. He looks so scared and downcast at the end.
Y'know, when I first heard this song in the album, I had imagined it as John realizing his true potential and becoming superpowerful. I didn't think it'd happen via his death :c and while he is alive, this flash is still very emotional nonetheless.
I remember being sooo pissed John and Vriska are my favs so when i though Vriska actually killed him i was soo pissed...(then i remebered that john and karkat still hade a converstation to go so somehow he had to live but i was still angry till i saw this)
I really can't stop watching this. I find his whole transformation to be simply beautiful. I just got a little past this point actually I made it to [S] Wake, right now this is my favorite flash and John is my favorite character so when I saw this I was both sad and happy for him. Very beautiful, the music, the flash, everything is just so gorgeous.
I'm so glad this is up on here because the site is down and I can't see this mentioned without wanting to re-watch it and I always end up with tears in my eyes. Just. The fireflies. Oh.
i remember when i got to this part of homestuck it was 2 am and then i screamed when i saw john get stabbed and then i saw this and i cried and was like "johnny boy, i love you, now rise up your ass already"
Fun fact: in my ict class we got a free session, so i decided to read homestuck. Now, i didnt know this was going to happen, and it did. So as I was watching, I started crying, no joke, so my freind molly saw it and started crying as well (fellow homestuck) then my other freind eve came over, saw what we were crying about and just awkwardly hugged us. During all this the whole class was staring over at us, three girls dressed in ridiculous clothes, sobbing and hugging in the middle of a lesson..
It is really beautiful coming here again in 2017 and see this. Homestuck was really cool and fun! I miss it a lot! And it's also nice seeing the original content instead of looking through all the fandom shit ^^" I just miss it so much
When I first saw this scene in the Homestuck comic/game the reaction was similar to WV, a big "NO. PLEASE GOD NO. NO. NOOOOOOOO." Then a manly tear was shed with the words of "Glorious" being spoken at the Windy Thing.
Even with Cascade out, this one is still my favourite... XD As much as I love Cascade, this flash just left a huge impact on me... plus... I LOVE JOHN, BRO~! ;w;
I cried,,, Even though he isn't dead forever it still made me sad.... I cry every time I watch this but it is still so flipping brilliant.... WHY DO YOU TORTURE ME HUSSIE?!?!?! TT_TT
My friend showed me this before I even started reading Homestuck. I'm reading it now, largely because of such awesome spolieryness as this, but still haven't quite gotten to this point. So beautiful. T.T
@teejayandjon I forgot this. You helped me remember, and I love it. Because Karkat is the 'cancer' that caused Jack, the cancer, who killed the cancer (the failed bilious), etc. It just adds up, and so many ways it is used!
Being the 5000th viewer, I feel the need to talk about just how beautiful this is, and how wonderful Homestuck is all together... It's really really great. Sure, it isn't perfect, but I love it all the same.
I flipped the fuck out when John died, then I remembered he got all better. Then this came out and John became my favorite character again. Because he's just so bad ass.

remember when the biggest concerns were:
1. how is Jade gonna go godtier without a dreamself
2. what's is rose doing?
Good, non-tear filled times.
[S]: GAME OVER.
1. Jade put her dreamself in her sprite.
2. Zr uhh dh to dutftotff hi fhovucu
2. Rose went grimdark
it is funny how at first i didnt believe in vriska, thought there was no such thing as god tier, and that he was indeed, dead.
that was kind of the point i believe

So many unknowns, so many ifs. Gotta love a game like that.
but its actually just a ruse
lets just say that
the god ruse was a...

H-He... He.. H-He did t-the windy t-ting... QAQ OH MY GOD
Oh my god. THE FEELS.
they hit hard everytime
my feels man, my feels ;-;
I am watching this over and over because i just love the feels that it brings
me too bro
Yeah, same
Im still doing it yo
it’s so triumphant and magical
and this was the point where everything started going to shit.
The webcomic or the session in the webcomic?
@@Jadez1207 the session, duh, did you forget about the guy who killed him in the first place
no that was when Beq prototyped himself
I know this flash doesn't match the grandeur of some others like Cascade or Descend, but it still manages to be so incredibly awesome.
First he kills Dave's bro, and then he takes his shades. ;-;
I was really happy about John reaching god tier.
Then I realised that meant he wouldn't be wearing his awesome jacket any more.
Then I was sad.
it was more vriska's jacket then anything
eVEN THOUGH jHON SCREWED UP OUR SESSION, i MUST ADMIT THAT HIS RESURRECTION IS QUITE SPECTACULAR,
+Tavros Nitram GOOD WORK ROLEPLAYING YOU BITCH
Dat Weird 69er uMM,,, RUDE,
*THE TAVROS GETS TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CHARACTER ARC DANCE*
This was one of the first times where I ever wanted to erase my memory just to experience this moment again. It's just so beautiful.
Ahh the memories. I remembering crying when John died and crying again during this.
In my opinion, this is simultaneously the happiest, saddest, and awesomest moment in all of Homestuck. I get emotional every time I watch it.
I cry every time I watch this. I feel like such a wimp omg. There's something just so... heart-wrenchingly beautiful about this flash sequence.
"Son, if you are reading this, it means you have reached god tier."
"I am so, so proud of you, son."

It doesn't hurt either that the music is freakin awesome.
I always forget that John is 13. At 13 he died and became a god.
more like a demi-god in powerscale if u think about i
I think this was one of the saddest flashes with his death and all, but I was in awe when John came back as God tier. It was amazing, which makes this one of my favourites.
John you cannot die yet you are a HERO
Man, when I first saw this, my reaction was the EXACTLY SAME as WV at 0:59 XD
The music, the scene itself. This is one of my favorite flashes. It's marvelous. It always makes me feel calm and want to smile.
I've always had a question about god tier
when you die and god tier, does your sentience remain in your god tier or is your god tier a new you who retains your memories
I think because of how ghosts and the dream selves work, it's still you you.
pretty sure because of how ghosts work, it could actually be both at the same time.
I think the Dream Self and you swap places, including your dream self taking on your wounds.
You are literally swapping positions. It dies, you live on.
@@Juniper_Rose This makes me feel bad for the dream selves-
The music always gives me chills
and the nostalgia
Pfft I remember when I was sad about main character deaths
thE END HIT MY FEELS
FUCKING BEC NOIR WITH BRO STRIDER'S GLASSES
WHY HUSSIE WHY
I'm actually happy bro died.
he was an asshole
+Angela Ortega yeah but his post scratch version tho...
I didn't notice that till now...
Homestuck: [S] JOHN. RISE UP as a title makes me think of Hamilton now. Weird.
I don't know why, but this thing hurts my feelings. And I've been replaying it for like, an hour or so ;-;
The worst part, I think, is tgat WV looks so hopeful when he watches the screen.
He saw this before, his friend will be okay.
But then he dies completely.
He looks so scared and downcast at the end.
This is all the sadder for WV when you realize he's basically telling John to "please, wake up!" in different words.
WHEN YOU LIVING ON YOUR KNEES YOU
*RISE UP!*
the first time i saw this i was confused but it was so epic anyways
then i read about "god tiers", and i loved the concept
behold...the heir...
this has got to be the most emotional one, aside from cascade. its just so beautiful seeing how amazingily far theyve all come
I cried the first time I saw this.
I never cry.
i like to think that, even tho dave have seen this every time john godtiers in his multiple loops he always stop to see the lightworks
Love it how John and Jade share so much leitmotifs
Y'know, when I first heard this song in the album, I had imagined it as John realizing his true potential and becoming superpowerful. I didn't think it'd happen via his death :c and while he is alive, this flash is still very emotional nonetheless.

I waited five acts for this.
We waited 4986 pages for this happen . Let's cry...
godikynat but it happened long before page 4000
@@mujiescomedy279 The old mspa page numbers included all the comics. They were separated when the site was revamped.
As of Cascade, Bec Noir's look is "I'm coming for you next"
notice how his god tier hood looks like a wind sock
Bro got them windy powers
god this is still just an absolutely chilling moment
Its been TEN YEARS ...........
Yeah!!!! As soon as I read the comic I instantly fell in love with John. I LOVE YOU!!
So damn beautiful.
when i first saw it I was so excited and almost cried. rip me
Watching this over and over again makes me shed tears. It's so beautiful looking at this again.
I remember this.
This scene made me so emotional, that I cried...
I really can't stop watching this. I find his whole transformation to be simply beautiful.

Ваау. Аж мурашки по коже прошлись. Это так крууто!!!!!
Nice idea, synched up pretty well actually
I love that punch when it shows john in front of the clouds, this young child in a world bigger than himself.
Just in the feelings :'''"v
I also like how immediately after you explain this, someone else comes along and provides a perfect example.
HOLY BALLS ITS IN PERFECT SYNC!
Whenever I watch this I keep hearing a heartbroken WV scream-sobbing "RISE UP. RISE UP. RISE UP. RISE UP." at John. And then I feel incredibly sad.

Everyone's face during every single epic Flash
gamers rise up
I always smile when watching this, you feel almost safe knowing that a hero has just been born.
This is probably one of the most beautiful things I have ever laid eyes upon.
Watching this video makes me want to cry, because it only reminds me of when Doc Scratch said the Hero of Breath is going to die a hero's death.
It is really beautiful coming here again in 2017 and see this. Homestuck was really cool and fun! I miss it a lot! And it's also nice seeing the original content instead of looking through all the fandom shit ^^"

JAW. SLOWLY DROP.

gives me so many feels.

...yup
still makes my heart sink.
awesome song
sad/ awesome flash
Love the homestuck music! This one is so cool!
This scene still gives me the chills. I was so mad when this happened.
So many emotions running through me right now..
I flipped the fuck out when John died, then I remembered he got all better.

Because he's just so bad ass.

It makes me want to go in and hug him. :C
