okay but why do people always talk about how dirk was raised all alone, but never roxy? Sure they had difrent circumstances, but roxy's life seemed harder and required more work then dirks. People say that she was raised by the chess people, but Roxy was the one who feed them when they were hungry, took care of them, tried to save them from the miles, and even refused to hurt them when they attacked her. It just seemed like she had the burden of having to take care of them all her life
think it's interesting that it's two different types of isolation - self-centered isolation and the isolation that comes from having to participate in self sacrifice constantly
It was never given that she had to do all that - she chose to. Dirk never even had the chance to physically interact with another sentient being until he built one himself.
This song is so similar to the Nepeta's Serenade, I mean the passages of accords, tempo, and similar high melody. Roxy, like Nepeta, was not often shown to be tormented by feelings. Roxy is also Dirk's dear friend, while Nepeta has Equius. Let me remind you that this is a friendship of aspects of the Heart and the Void. Conclusion: words or emotions are not always needed to understand that someone is suffering.
ive got no clue what passages of accords means. ill concede the arpeggios are played in a similar kinda rushing way though. its a fun fan theory but i really dont think theres much of a connection here musically. its been a while since i read homestuck but nepeta was always a lighthearted character, the most serious thing she did was die. roxy meanwhile did have some serious shit goin on its just she dealt with it through alcoholism. i guess you could say the same of nepetas shipping wall but.. ehhhh idkkkk
i dont think i could ever hate her. she always tries her hardest, even while drunk. she tends to put her friends before herself. and even when she took a beating, she took it with a carefree attitude and didnt complain at all - all the way up to her breaking point. shes a rock that's unbreakable.
Imagine this , All of her friends died while fighting, she is the only one from her session. She looks at the moon, the new moon that her friends can't see, she takes another sip from the bottle, suddenly John starts playing the piano downstairs. What a beautiful song' she thinks as she stares at the stars alone......
This sounds almost like...if John decided to play the piano while Roxy is drunk sitting up 3 in the morning, just sitting there staring at the moon on top of her rooftop.
This song is beautiful. It's sad, it's happy, it makes you eye-tear a little bit, reminding yourself of all the moments, the people you met, the stories you heard, the hours you spent daydreaming about this webcomic. It's full of feelings. It's real.
I feel like I now want to live in a city, that shuts off all their lights at night....live in an appatment on the top floor.....just so I can wake up at 3 in the morning....put on this song...and sit on the roof....
derpyponylover In thirty years, you will look upon a thing that reminds you of your present and of homestuck. You will find this song in a new device which transmits audio. You will have feels, so much feels. You will remember that exact comment you made.
Off, deep within the night, there resides a light--it is you, you're standing there. Tears stream down your face like diamonds with such grace; your sighs grow blue amongst the evening air. The world is soft and soundless, constellations boundless, yet you look so null and void. Lives were taken, hopes became forsaken and the soul of friends are not whole, leaving hearts destroyed. Please don't drink and sink away. Please remain strong all day long until the sun leaves... Then you may share all your cares and grieve. Moonlit cities harbor all your pities as you stare out, smudged mascara evidence of all your doubt. Blood-red trident warships provoke bitten black lips the longer you have come to grips. _What is there to gain, after all the pain? Who is there to blame? Who...?_ Still, you'll stay and lay 'till light comes. Time moves on, pulsing like a drum. *_Hold onto that warning at three in the morning._*
I find it amazing how Roxy manages to keep a positive outlook despite growing up alone and having her requests for a relationship denied by the only other human.
I just read The Great Gatsby and they talked about a sad-sounding waltz called Three O Clock in the Morning in one of the party scenes, and though technically this isn't a waltz it's now my headcannon. Also, the Three in the Morning dress is my headcannon for what Daisy was wearing.
Roxy is a character I relate to. I relate to her use of drinking as a coping mechanism but fighting through it. She had to grow up on her own. Without her mother. She also has a fondness for cats. I feel like if I sat down with her we would have a nice convo about life and cats :)
back for my yearly youtube-recommendations-induced homestuck nostalgia trip. I blame 413 It's crazy to think how much these albums shaped my current taste on music. Sometimes I wish I knew about music just to try and recapture some of its magic.
I'm pretty sure this is named after the 'Three In The Morning Dress' that Jade alchemizes, Snowman wears and Ms. Paint wears. Also, there's a version of this that is considered one of Snowman's themes.
Seriously though, what a year. Let’s simply hope that it does not set the tempo for the rest of the decade. Remember to keep hope and carry on, for the March of Time remains as a constant beat, and it is all we can do to keep stride with it.
As always with 3itM remixes, I like it. Combined with the album art it’s a very sad/bittersweet piece… I’m gonna learn this as soon as I can. I used to HATE Roxy, now it just seems like she needs a hug. Poor girl.
Maybe I'm a bit stupid for not knowing the answer to this question, but why are there lots of songs that appear on the Homestuck soundtrack, but I don't ever remember being in the comic?
I imagine this is slick attempting to play like he used to after.. well the end of the universe. Two metal limbs now, he's mourning over the loss of his crew, the loss of his city, his world, and yes, even HIS universe. Because as much as he hated that woman, she gave him a reason to live, even after his crew was gone. Now that shes gone, Slicks got nothing left. He was fully prepared to die, but for some reason, hussie wouldn't let him.
My thoughts exactly. I'm trying to transcribe it, but I've never done this before, and I can't figure out any of the chords that come in around the 1 minute mark. Hopefully someone else will step in. If I do somehow figure it out, I'll post it in the MSPA sheet music thread.
I love this image of Roxy listening to this as she gathers the last of the carapices (how do you spel that lol) into her house and watching the world burn around her.
I find it sad that hussie made a bunch of stuff on the comic that made it really unappealing for new people because beyond that you have a story about moving on and having to let go at a young age, having to relearn whats wrong even though you thought it was right your whole life and the unforgiving ness of nature and the universe.
Have you considered that the characters learning not to be awful is also part of the story? Removing it to make it more palatable removes a part of the development itself.
@@asteriart7814 i dont know when i said that's a problem, when i mean "unappealling things" i refer to how complicated the story is at times for no reason and how vriska essentially got groomed twice for no reason
Well ,is it really a midnight crew song.I find it fits her more. Roxy appears to be the kind of girl to gaze at the houses,to watch over the chess people. Whether she is sober or not. I think she was often very lonely and sad,gazing outwards thinking about how she is alone,until she found out that another lived on the planet. One like her. It catches her personality,doens't it? She never asked for anything,never would,she would always give everything to all around her.
For some reason I imagine there to be some sort of ruins of the city in paradox space floating around... buildings on fire... possibly sand from the rapid aging of the walls... and one corpse blankly staring at the sky....

So sad, yet so calm and beautiful. This is some real soundtrack right here.
Its just so crazy how good this still is. Genuinely gave me a real, genuine appreciation for classical music, or at least music without lyrics.
unironically I justso happened to listen to this at 3 AM
I know right! Coincidence are weird...
2:38AM! So close
Same tho
This song seems like it was made specifically for what followed [S] Game Over almost 2 years before the event took place.
all the music was made 2 years prior lol
+Collin Garrison that's exactly what I'm saying
I find it amazing how Roxy manages to keep a positive outlook despite growing up alone and having her requests for a relationship denied by the only other human.
Though it's nice seeing people give Roxy genuine thought, this song to me will always be Slick, missing his crew, alone with a piano.
i go here when i want to remember. its nice and quiet and people left this place years ago so its alone
SAME
same
is it though?
after watching [S] Collide, this shit hurts.
+Dave OfGuy this comment hurt.
Being almost 4 years late also fucking hurts a lot
After re-evaluating [S] Collide and realizing Scratch English was never defeated and will likely still destroy everything, this still hurts
Why was this flagged as inappropriate on my school account...?
Because the music is so good it's killing children in Africa because they are so surprised their jaws fall off.
omfg BRUTAL!!!

how could anyone ever dislike something so elegant..brings a tear to my eye to see good, hard work disliked.☹

Listening to this at 3 AM.
I feel strangely accomplished.
EveRy time I tRy moving foRwaRd on the playlist I suddenly feel guilty and have to listen again.
Also, this song is painfully sad ad 0.5 speed.
it's three in the morning and I'm watching this
Same, 3:07 to be exact!
I feel like this song is a perfect sad theme for Roxy, a truly tragic character.
i get the feeling that this tune still runs through roxy's mind now whilst she sits in her cell
on one hand this song is beautiful on the other hand its very, very sad.
Listening to this at 3 IN THE MORNING. I need to sleep.
Hello me :'( we've changed so much
It is actually 3 in the morning and I am sitting here listening to this.
Listening to this just slowly lays a heavy melancholy on my chest with each second.
Two seconds in and I'm already crying

learning how to play this >:3
love the piano
Came back to this,just reminds me about pq Roxy regret ending
So beautiful, peaceful...My personal favourite from this album
Sounds a lot like Bach's Chaconne in D minor. I keep expecting it to kick in and get confused when it doesn't
This is beautiful...
play this on rainly mood omg
