[S] Temporal Shenanigans - Original Homestuck Fan Song by Rachel Macwhirter

[yayrupees]

I thought it was Rose for a while, then yeah, realized it was Aradia.

[CrazyTheatreChick]

Well I do wanna throw things.....Roses and money are things right?

[theguycalledchris]

...ARE YOU URANIANUMBRA?

[RachMacwhirter]

@theguycalledchris

oh bUgger, yoU caUght me! ^u^;

[xXMyGodComplexXx]

...oh wow. I would pay money to hear this, you know that right? You're amazing, just stunning.

[InvaderAddict]

MCR posteer ;)))

[shadowd151]

This is now my headcanon Aradia voice.

[SageIdle]

I feel like this could be an absolutely brilliant Dave and Terezi duet because the song really fits both of them pretty well actually.

[AmeSugimura]

This is so amazing. Oh goodness. I want to sing this. Even though I promised myself I wouldn't ever again. This just might keep me from quitting

[ClaireThuBozo]

oh

my god

<3

[AnimeCrazee13]

I was SO sure it was about Dave, until I heard "I'm alive and smiling, I'm so tired of being dead." Then I knew. :)

[Ravenofthestorm]

Amazimng you should do one for Tav or Gam

[AnimeCrazee13]

@Ravenofthestorm Or Tav AND Gam :D

[AnimeCrazee13]

So, I'm going to cosplay Aradia.

I feel like I want to sing this. As Aradia. o.o

[MaleShojofan777]

(Imagine this being red)

i may n0t be a tr0ll 0r a female but i have a request t0 sing what y0u call a c0ver

maybe als0 altering the lyrics t0 fit dave

that w0uld be hard th0ugh

yeah ill just sing this as aradi0 medig0

the genderbent versi0n 0f aradia

may i 0u0

wait that looks stupid

[MaleShojofan777]

... DAVE! That's who this one is :D

Personally, I prefer Jade for the kids and Vriska for the Trolls. I SERIOUSLY wish I could write music, but the only thing I can do is kinda sorta write lyrics. ;A:

(And now for a message from my Troll, Mikeal Pentas)

Yes, my name means five and my first name is Earth-like..... Suuuuue Meeeee!!!!! D:<D:<

D:<D:<D:< Great song, and I love love love love love Terezi's song!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

[ChocolateDog203]

@MaleShojofan777 It's actually Aradia. : P

[MaleShojofan777]

@ChocolateDog203 I'm a derp.

[ChocolateDog203]

@MaleShojofan777 Haha, honest mistake, what with them both being Heroes of Time.

[MadBunny1010]

can i trow my love at you threw the interweb!?

[Cuccogirl]

oh my goodness please submit this to the album contest under Aradia

[Mythbusters51]

You should submit this one to the album contest!

[paigetaelor]

Oh god, you are the type of person I just want to have as a friend. lololol.

I've been drawing so much homestuck, and I really want to cover this .___.

But I would feel bad if I didn't have your permission.

That and I don't know where I could get an off vocal.

Okay, I'm going to go put this all over Tumblr now... Hopefully you can get this the crap ton of views it deserves!!!

[RachMacwhirter]

@paigetaelor

Oh wow, thank you!

I'd love to hear a cover version of it! That would be fantastic :D

[epictoxicmonster]

woah

what?

gosh youre so good at everything!

thanks for making this! I'm with everyone else, and my favorite troll (for the time being) is aradia. I havent heard lots of songs about her yet. I digress, good work Rachel!

[rotokunX]

first minute of song

1. REALLY good!

2. yay homestuck!

3. she's hot! >=]

[Mythbusters51]

Sheet music other than chords pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase? I just spent a good hour learning the chords (having just gotten a piano and havent gotten lessons yet) i would spend all night learning it.

All night.

[Brotmesseresser]

goosebumps



[HolyCowWorshipper]

Hello~ It's Holly from the Homestuck IRC! I was busy listening to the song again when you left, because I had to read the lyrics to actually hear what you sang ('cause crappy english). And hopy shit, it is EVEN MORE amazing now that I realized it's actually about Aradia!! I ADORE the part "I'm alive and smiling. I'm so tired of being dead.

I see in full clarity what was so muddy before.

You see I'm far from empty. I'm back to what I live for." <3

[church7089]

I can't get enough of your singing. You have such a phenomenally beautiful voice. Please, never stop singing.

The song is brilliant overall, as are all your others. The world needs to discover you.

[Snagaru]

Wow... That voice... Is so beautiful, and the way you said thank you at the end was so cute!

[SadisticTreehugger]

Oh my goodness, this is positively amazing! The lyrics paired along with your voice is absolutely riveting! I replayed this at least 3 times, and I still absolutely love it. And I'm going to guess this is either about Karkat or Aradia, please tlel me if I'm right or wrong xD Again, excellent job and keep up the good work!

[Kimithin]

I think...I think I may have killed the replay button. This is amazing.

[shinichan42]

[DMLunatic]

[TheOtakufiedOneTwo]

NEW HEADCANON VOICE.

FOREVER.

[ghostasesjumponit]

oh gog i love this sooooo much! :o)



[klagge]

Lovely song you've written, dear. :)

[RainbowMinako51]

I THINK

I LOVE YOU FOREVER

I KNOW WHO IT IS

[pcdsgh]

YAY for making a song about my favourite troll. 7th time I'm listening to it and it still gives me shivers.

might want to check acefoxDOTtumblrDOTcom, since his slides pointed me to your videos.

[RachMacwhirter]

@pcdsgh

Hehe, you mean the comic? I've seen it and I love it :D It's by Rakewn who is amaaaazing ^_^

[lilflamewars]

I'm still jealous of your voice.

[loladis69]

Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for this gorgeous piece of art. Someone made a storyboard to go along with this song and it's floating around Tumblr! I'll send it to those who are interested in seeing it!

[HeadeatingCat]

can you be my headcanon aradia voice? <3

[DecisiveNemesis]

Wow. This was quite good, actually. I would really love to see you work with someone on the Homestuck music team.

[Kirbytroid]

Wow. I decided to try following the link from your version of Eridan's theme, and I'm glad I did. This is at least all flavours of awesome. All of the flavours.

[xxYEAHTOASTxx]

So, you like Hanna is Not a Boy's Name and Homestuck? GIRL, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

[Aeleita]

My gosh, you're wearing the hat I've been drooling over for months!

Nice song too, b tw...

[yurichan99x13]

Sollux or Aradia... i dunno owo

[NekuThat1DeadKid]

@yurichan99x13 Aradia. I thought it was Dave for a bit derp :P

[RenaMcGee]

This was brilliant! 

[xBigJuliex]

I really love this song c:

And id love to learn the cords cept I can't really read cords =3=... and some sites aren't really helping any tips o-o?

[Trilbydood]

Yesssssss, fansongs! :D This is awesome! You're a really good singer, and a really good lyricist. :)

And, I'm really sorry to have to say this, but you're really hot. :L I don't want to just be another guy saying "lol sex" or whatever, but you're gorgeous. :D

[MsInedible]

I WANT TO THROW SOMETHING AT YOU

. . . .

R-roses

D:

[RecklessSacrifice]

WOAH. WOAH WOAH WOAH.

I loved this~ ^^

[InkScratches]

Wow, this actually drove me to tears. Your voice is absolutely beautiful.

[inhoihminen]

hey!! uh, is there any way that you might post a karaoke version of this? :) like, without vocals? I am currently translating the lyrics to German and would love to sing it in German... I just don't know any instruments!

[TakaraChan097]

//casually worships you forever/

[Accuni]

This is awesome, really good song!

And I love all your posters, by the way. :)

[followmyrhode]

Would you mind if I tried to learn this?

[RachMacwhirter]

@followmyrhode

Yeah, go for it! I've posted the chords in the same folder as the mp3.

[LizaLeech]

This is beautiful, I love this so very very much. There are so few Homestuck fansongs with lyrics, and even fewer with ones as beautiful and perfect as this one's. This is why I love Aradia, you've captured her perfectly. I really really really hope they do another fan album and you get this or anything else you do on it. Looking forward to the Terezi track.

[Eightbitotaku]

You are genuinely wonderful in every way.

[K33TLA]

Is there any way we could get chords/sheets for this? 8D

[kristen221]

This is amazing. Thank you for making such a beautiful piece. It literally made me shiver, which is quite odd for me. Dont let anyone ever bring you down because of your voice, though I dont think anyone would. Please continue to make such wonderful things.

[Dorufuu]

Holy glen, this is beautiful. I love your voice. <333

[Strawii]

good lord, this is absolutely beautiful.

[rockydog12344]

Sorry I usually don't read stuff on the Internet lol ther then manga and all that :p

[rockydog12344]

am i supposed to read all of that ?!?!?!

[RachMacwhirter]

@rockydog12344

Words are pretty scary, right?

It's your choice, mate. If you don't want to, it's your loss, I suppose.

[NekuThat1DeadKid]

@RachMacwhirter so very much their loss XD

[tapixt]

that was so beautiful

[spacerocketbunny]

You're pretty fantastic, this a great song! Catchy lyrics, lovely melody and appropriate shifts, fantastic job! :D

[luigifan607]

Somebody call Hussie and tell him this exists :U

[Thatswhatshesaid446]

Just realized you made Hunger Games songs too. You win forever. (I'm not going to listen to them just yet though because I'm still waiting to read the second book)

[RachMacwhirter]

@Thatswhatshesaid446

Thanks for the kind words! :D

Iron Children and Too Clever By Half are both entirely based within the first book, so there aren't any spoilers there. As for Mockingjay, both verses are about things that happen in the first book and the bridge alludes to things from the third, so it's mostly okay, but I think I'd still recommend reading first.

[Thatswhatshesaid446]

Nothing will EVER be more addictive than homestuck. If there is, god help us.

This song is going to be repeated for the next 3 hours or so, just so you know :D it's amazing.

[gothwannabe037]

This is amazing! ^^ <3

Did you know a wonderful artist drew a comic to this? (not me. I'm not being an egomaniac :D)

[RachMacwhirter]

@gothwannabe037

Thank you so much!

Oh my gosh, where?

[gothwannabe037]

@RachMacwhirter Apparently, Youtube won't let me link it here (ugh sorry)

If you go to deviantart(.)com and search Temporal Shenanigans it's the first result ^^

[jongyon7192p]

@gothwannabe037  Here it is! The comic drawn to this song.

rakewn.deviantart*com/art/Temp­­oral-Shenanigans-255157047?q

Of course you have to replace the *! I mean, what kind of web address would be *com?

[modestmango]

Holy shit. This is spectacular.

[TheHawkwithoutwings]

You write songs, you like HINABM, AND Homestuck. Your like, the cooler, version Of me :,) (i cant write a full song, i always lose all my ideas about half way :C )

[SnowsGhost]

I had goosebumps the entire time, that was absolutly amazing!

*off to go read Homestuck*

[rockydog12344]

And how do u find it I wanna watch homestuck and I can't find anything

[RachMacwhirter]

@rockydog12344

You don't really watch Homestuck, it's a webcomic. Well, you can watch it, but you'd be sitting and staring at John Egbert blinking for hours on end. If you're okay with that, then go for it. But if you want to read it, there's a link in the video description.

[rockydog12344]

Awsome and I luv the mcr poster in the bak :3

[Kitkaloid]

You are adorable and this is really nice!

[spencertx100]

Oh man. I want to reference homestuck, but all the choices paralyze me.

"I TOLD YOU ABOUT STAIRS"? Dave's ill beats? Got tiger? Gamzee's rage-spree? ANYTHING involving nepeta? So many choices. 0_0

[TheSaintGamer]

So, you got addicted to homestuck.

Welcome to hell bro, there's no going back!

[RachMacwhirter]

@TheSaintGamer

Man, I know right? It might've taken over my life a little tiny (read: huge) bit. My sketchbook may or may not be filled with thirteen year old aliens, you can't prove anything. H3H3H3.

[MixedUpCc]

A lovely song, it really matches Aradia. It amazing that you wrote a song:D

[Kodocha7]

I love this so much could I please make a cover of this because I want to sing it while in aradia cosplay :D

[RachMacwhirter]

@Kodocha7

Sure thing! Just post it as a video response to this one and credit me :)

[Kodocha7]

@RachMacwhirter awesome :D

[mangagor]

Oh. Oh, dear god this is perfect. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. Again.

[VeritasUnae]

Apart from the paragraph where you lose the rhyming, which becomes a little awkward, this is fantastic. Plus, that paragraph references spirographs, which is fantastic in its own right! An excellent theme for Aradia, great job indeed.

[Tharkun]

Wow, okay, I somehow thought Homestuck was one of those generic geek webcomics without a plot. Going to have to check it out now.

[jongyon7192p]

Is there an mp3? I want one!

[AardvarkOff]

Love the song, even though I'm just now reading the comic. Also, awesome hat :) I sort of envy it.

[4Koyuki7]

Hello!

I don't really know what to say here, this was just amazing! *u*

Your voice is perfect and your song is beautiful. <3

I was thinking, if you don't mind, do you have the sheet music for this? For piano or keyboard? :3

[RachMacwhirter]

@4Koyuki7

Thank you! :D

I don't have sheet music for it, but it's pretty much all just playing with the notes of the chords (which are Dm, Gm, A and D in the verses and choruses and Bb, F, A and Dm in the prechorus/bridgey section).

[Mrcrash826]

"You see a thousand of me and this is what I'm made for" gave me chills. Bravissimo.

[alnastra]

I should probably check out homestuck eventually, but this is so awesome it doesn't even need the references! ^^

[MelaWasYourFriend]

I'm going to have to traipse off to check out this webcomic now....But on the beside, where oh where can we send fan-mail? I have, like, 61 postcards in my closet to get rid of...I just counted. :)

[RachMacwhirter]

@MelaWasYourFriend

It's so worth checking out! It's amazing and the updates that are happening at the moment are really mind blowing and aaaah words can't describe it properly :3

I don't have an address for fanmail ^_^; I mean, obviously I have an address (no, that's a lie, I live in a tree) but I'm not entirely comfortable giving it out on the internet.

[MelaWasYourFriend]

@RachMacwhirter I think that's perfectly reasonable, especially if you don't have P.O.Box.

And, yes, the comic is supreme; thanks for the recommendation. :D

[jongyon7192p]

Awesome, especially the lyrics, the lyrics were amazing.

[KazeKimizu]

Oh gosh, you're so pretty and adorable. Had to throw that out there first.

But wow, this song is so beautiful. I just adore it. And now I will forever hear Aradia's words in your voice.

[IethargicAnarchist]

Very nice! I really enjoyed the song.

And you like HINABN too! What excellent taste you have in webcomics.

[BrideofdeathxD]

My Chemical Romance poster! I just had to say it^^

And the song is great!

[SplinterCell37]

Nice hat! (oh, and great song!)

[krasieladie]

My computer won't let me WAAAAAHHHHH!

[Nickiiloves]

I like it. :)
