Brave New World [Homestuck - SPOILERS]

[TraRobins234]

You would think that John is the messiah while Tavros is the honest.

[SheMailify]

Love this video, it's actually what made me read Homestuck in the first place. And in your honor, I'm going to invent the double-like button. ;B

[CheshireMax]

@SheMailify

Sweet. Patent that shit.

[clarameyer1234]

This is so amazing. It seems to me that this song really fits Homestuck. You did a really good job with this! And I think your character choice is fine, I could care less really, since the rest of the video was so awesome! :}D JOLLY GOOD!

[CheshireMax]

@clarameyer1234

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[Tapxin]

Oh my god oh my god this is so good oh my god is this rain on my face oh my god no no i think it is tears. Very good work to you!

[CheshireMax]

@Tapxin

*paps your face*

shoooosh

<3

[AnacreaDesu]

Rose should have been the prophet, prophet being a synonym for Seer.... Just sayin'.

[NikaHarada]

@AnacreaDesu Sorry but Terezi is more of the prophet than Rose. Just because it says seer doesn't mean it should be Rose since Terezi is also the Seer of Mind. Also it's based off their abilities. Rose can gain large amount of information and can learn about certain things before others. Terezi looks into the minds of others to know what they are going to do, and she can set an accurate prediction about what is to happen if they follow through, which is what a prophet it.

[clarameyer1234]

:'}D

[CharismaticTraitor]

i'm not crying i'm just sweating through my eyes

[CorianaRaposa]

OH GOD LET ME JUST PUT THIS ON REPLAY FOREVER, K? K.

[FireflyJar]

This gave me so many chills and emotions and just oh my god. This is beautifully and wonderfully done.

[CheshireMax]

@FireflyJar

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[Midnafreakable]

Let me tell you about Homestuck.

[EPICWINize]

btw the song is called this is war... but this rocked my socks XD

[ImTheOnlyMeThereIs]

This was absolutely beautiful. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a better Homestuck music video... Everything was so perfectly timed and aaaahhhh<3

Buuuut I'll still have to put in my 5 cents, after reading that comment by NikaHarada

Aradia makes sense as the pariah, and I actually quite like that you put her there

but Eridan never won

His goal was(probably) to make Feferi come with him. Instead, he killed the people he should have fought to keep alive.

I'll never count that as a victory.

[KasuryAngelDarkness0]

My birthday is on the same day it was released....Yess

[EPICWINize]

@KasuryAngelDarkness0 mine is four days before yours...Yess

[AnacreaDesu]

That's... Very touching... Kind of depressing around the end, but very touching...

[hankowen99]

i really need to watch homestuck

[AnacreaDesu]

@hankowen99 You don't WATCH it. Homestuck is a web comic.

[ImTheOnlyMeThereIs]

@AnacreaDesu Actually

Homestuck is so much more than that now

You watch it, you read it, you play is, you listen to it. We need better words.

[kthracerprting4duty]

That was wonderful! Very well done, and I really like your choices on which characters were what, so everyone else can go suck it!

[CheshireMax]

@kthracerprting4duty

Thank you! <3

[kjpurkapile]

I liked this video, but then I read the description afterwards and I was like "lol". Fan people literally cannot deal with being disliked or criticized by anyone for any reason no matter how unfounded or unimportant. They start making defensive speeches before it even happens just to cover the eventuality of some unimportant ass saying they don't like something because they're so pathetically sensitive.

Great videography though, I enjoyed the clip, but plug your tear ducts plz thx.

[CheshireMax]

@kjpurkapile

I should honestly hope you don't mean me, because fuck, I've already defended myself to half a dozen assholes in the comments. I'm not being a pussy and I'm not afraid of criticism (I fucking thrive off the shit), I'm just sick of people telling me what I should have done and expecting me to bow down to them.

How about you plug your asshole please? Oh wait, your head has already done that.

[NikaHarada]

I can understand why you put certain characters in their places. They say that Eridan should be the pariah. He is an outcast and no one likes him, but Aradia fits the description better because she was alone throughout the whole adventure. She stayed away from everyone and this made her seem like a pariah. Eridan fits the role as the victor. He won against three of the trolls and later dies, but he still was a victor for capable of leaving that room without anyone able to stop him.

Good job.

[CheshireMax]

@NikaHarada

THIS.

(can I just touch your face forever? kthx)

[shishlololol]

This video is the reason I started reading Homestuck. I love you so much.

[CheshireMax]

@shishlololol

:D I love you too~

[shihtzued]

Awesome

[CheshireMax]

@shihtzued

Thank you!

[originalfriendly100]

So why didn't you make Eridan the pariah? I checked through the comments, but I'm guessing it went back too far for me to care enough to keep going.

[alexhoux]

intense

[KirioGameNote]

I think Sollux could've possibly fit as a victim, but you were staying within the human character range, so Jade seems to work as well. John might have possibly fit more, being harassed by Jack, Vriska, and Karkat and Terezi

[ChaosVW]

great vid but the song is called this is war

[CheshireMax]

@ChaosVW

Thank you for the compliment, and I'm sure that if you read in the description I clearly state the two songs used are This Is War and 100 Suns by 30 Seconds to Mars. Either than that, thank you very much for pointing this out for me.

[lunattg]

I love your work! I have just gotten real into Homestuck myself and for awhile the story just didn't make sense but after watching this (and reading the creators very long overview of the events thus far) it all seems to fit now! Also, great choice in music, it just sets the perfect tone X)

[VocaOtaku]

Roose :c

[mattrules44]

Even though she was the cause of nearly every bad thing in both universes, I loved Vriska, and her death infuriated me more than any of the other trolls. It totally wasn't a just death T_T

[sunshineshipping]

This is very well done, though the only thing that bothers me is that the casting could have been better, and the first part (where it just shows the sky at a standstill I think?) could have worked as the normal gif did, which were shooting stars or something I think. Though that's just imo. Gr8 jo8, though. :::)

[poloslow]

I in Truth Thought that at first homestuck was stupid. I couldn't read the first act because i thought it would be a waste of my time. I read past act 1 thanks to the loyal fans urging me to read it with the great comics and fanart. I got on act 5 witihin 2 days. I Can Now Say That I Love This Story. Homestuck is Amazing :)

[SukineKira]

Eridan should be the Pariah. It means social outcast.

[CheshireMax]

@SukineKira

Thank you very much for this wonderful insight on my video, it tells me so much about how much you loved/hated my video and critiqued me so well. I know I've explained why I didn't make Eridan the Pariah before, but this has just opened my mind so much. Thank you dear person.

[SukineKira]

@CheshireMax Uh. Sorry.

[ZeaProductions]

@CheshireMax

You just won a free internet! Congratulations!

*brick'd*

[SpiderXxPirate]

My friend told me to watch this assuming that I know what Homestuck is. I don't, but props for using the greatest song known to man.

[sophiebybophie]

♋!!!!!

[AsnRandomness]

It started as a computer game. Sburb, what's so bad about it? I mean, let's build houses! But the four never knew what would happen. How many lives lost, how many worlds destroyed, how many souls dissolved. So they rose up, new strengths, new minds, new hearts, To avenge with pride. Because there's a moment for everything. To fight, to win, To fail, to lose. To live, to die. All is at stake. Because it wasn't a game anymore. It was war.

[CheshireMax]

@AsnRandomness

You Sir/Ma'am, are a boss.

[AsnRandomness]

@CheshireMax Even though I am actually the latter, I fawn over sir.

Sir Asnrandomness. How cool.

But anyhow, thanks.

[d3m0nicpk]

They started as innocent kids playing a game.

Now they're soldiers in the biggest war in history.

This

Is

Homestuck.

[AsnRandomness]

@d3m0nicpk No, this is PATRICK!

[s694019001]

just started homestuck. now... i have no idea how the hell it's going to get to anything like this... but one thing's for sure. i cant freaking wait for it to do it!

[redekm]

This makes me cry ;-;

[xxrockman5xx]

you do realize the song say "not the day and not the dark" you types "not the day or not the dark" please fix that

[CheshireMax]

@xxrockman5xx

Oops, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out! Sadly, I can't fix it now that it's already up. :)

[SukineKira]

@xxrockman5xx ...its a subtle mistake. deal with it.

[NyToob]

This simultaneously gives me chills and makes me teary. Well done, CheshireMax. Well done indeed.

[N3RDYG0GGLES]

ONE VERY VERY VERY EPIC SONG :D

[0Nikeenarutolover0]

OHMYGOSH

I had a favorite AMV that I watched everyday, about two months ago. And now THIS has the same one. :D

[ms9276]

I swear every time I see something homestuck-related to This Is War, Vriska is the liar. hahaha great video though :DD

[velonge]

That Brave New World video is the entire reason I started watching/reading homestuck so great job CheshireMax

[UltimateFanKohaku]

This is what made me finally read Homestuck. I was so amazed I read to act 5 in a few days.

[CheshireMax]

@UltimateFanKohaku

That's pretty darn impressive, good job! :D

[doggiemaina11]

@UltimateFanKohaku Same here!

[aganorkia]

LOVE. 

[Alternithumbound]

This makes me so emotional.

[NoahAllston]

Excuse me while I go cry.

This is beautiful in every single way.

[hockeykid1996]

This is the best shit I have ever seen.

Bravo.

[karivig]

Shoot, how I love Homestuck. :'3

[Kurotaka]

I think I finally found a way to get all of my friends interested in reading Homestuck. THIS VIDEO RIGHT HERE!!!

[HarvestMoonWish]

Love it. I haven't seen Homestuck though. Does this mean I'll die?

[CheshireMax]

@HarvestMoonWish

YES.

Haha, no. If you do wind up reading it though, I'm sorry if I spoiled anything for you! Glad you like it!

[HarvestMoonWish]

@CheshireMax Dude. I live on spoilers. They are my drug of choice. :3

[sculleyfish]

GOOSEBUMPS

[KeltenaAsule]

This is really, really beautiful. The beginning is the most gripping part, probably because of the dramatic music, but I think the end with the softer music and quiet, powerful emotion was possibly even stronger. Several parts, particularly PM putting on the ring, gave me serious chills, and while I had a few issues with the matchups you chose for the lyrics (Jade as "the victim"?), overall this is really, really amazing.

Just... wow.

[CheshireMax]

@KeltenaAsule

Thank you, and I appreciate the critique. As for the matchups, I don't think it's possible for to make everyone happy at once, so I just made myself happy instead ;D

[L4DHunter4]

THIS VIDEO GAVE ME CHILLS. o_o *Favs*

[iMeloxx]

Holy mother-

This is amaaaaziiiing.

[fallenangelbones]

HoMeStUcK 4 LiFe!!!!! HoNk! :o)

[kaifoxdemon]

WELP I'm not crying *sniff* nope *whimper* nooope *sob*

[cconroy11]

so well done

[NameOnTheSpine]

I don't even watch Homestuck and I cried ;-;

[shikadude95]

@NameOnTheSpine Read :)

It's a webcomic, haha

[Nwolfw00d]

Is it wrong that I cried to this? I don't feel sad, but something I cant explain everytime I watch this video, and it makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Can anyone explain this to me?

[YinYangAlchemist]

This fits so much its ridiculous

[sophiebybophie]

love-i7-<3!!!!!!

[SandiService]

TYUGHERFUGJRHUTFYHGJTHYKU IM CRYING 

[animelove125]

this is amazing and beautiful , to me it seems like an awesome movie trailer for homestuck .

[Madsme101]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Homestuck.

[Icecapecloudgallery]

ALSO: I heard that the music was especially written for Homestuck. Is that true? If so then WOW that's sooooooo coooooool! ^w^

[CheshireMax]

@Icecapecloudgallery

Homestuck has it's own music team that creates all of the music for Homestuck, all of the albums and tracks can be purchased on the website. (I hope that's what you mean, because this song has nothing to do with Homestuck...)

[xPiperpawx]

@Icecapecloudgallery I actually think they did something for Dragon Age xD

[Icecapecloudgallery]

CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS...0_0

Even though it had spoilers for me, I still watched it. There was one point when I was about to give up on HS because I was really confused, but then I watched this and now I've just finished reading Act 5 and it all makes sense now! :D This is why spoilers can sort of help SOMETIMES; it makes you want to keep on reading/watching!

Thanks for the upload! It's epic! \^0^/

[ShatterPalm]

This is a peace of work that truly does the music it's set to justice. 30STM is an amazing band, and Homestuck is an amazing Comic. The two of them go together beautifully. I was going to rage on you for getting the name of 'This is war' wrong, but for the sake of the video and not seeming like an ass I'll let it slide. Keep going.

[CheshireMax]

@ShatterPalm

Thank you, I'm very glad that you like the video!

I didn't get the name of the song wrong, if you read my description I clearly state the names of the songs I used. I chose to call the video something besides 'This Is War' because I used a combination of two songs in the video so it felt appropriate to call it something in between the two.

[ShatterPalm]

@CheshireMax Fair point. That was just me being a jackass then. Sorry. ^_^||||||

[CheshireMax]

@ShatterPalm

No problem, I've gotten a lot of questions about the title. :)

[2minutestomammoth]

I would like to say that I am responsible for at least a quarter of the total views of this video.

[CheshireMax]

@2minutestomammoth

I salute you for that.

<3

[AluxuTheSpider]

I ... I didn't know peoples' jaws actually dropped when they were amazed. But shit my jaw is in a state of droppage. Holyshitthisisamazing. The timing is flawless, hopy shit. Excellent jo8. ::::)

[Nesrokerica]

@profskitty Im pretty sure it is referring to the Grand High Blood that is Gam's ancestor. Messiah is like someone who was meant to do it and that's your guy right there.

[profskitty]

Someone explain to me the meaning of messiah in this video please

[Inya001]

This is beautiful. It really is and it brings out a deeper meaning to the comic and the song. :]

[BethvadertheGreat]

Just gonna casually baw my eyes out for hours...

[Sdfckz]

@cena5lifeyeah You obviously don't understand the meaning of gay. Honey, it has a few meanings. Generalizing it into the obvious for you, it means a homosexual. "Homo" meaning same. This is a video, therefor it cannot obtain the choice of whether or not it can prefer a certain gender, for a video does not have a gender. Am I making myself clear enough, or do I need to put it in simple English for you to comprehend?

[MeikoSakine11]

@cena5lifeyeah So, this video is happier than Twilight? That's nice to know, thanks for the compliment.

[Nighteyeslover12]

Oh, and CheshireMax, this vvideo is... I don't knoww howw to describe it. THE BEST EVVER. There. And, I'd like to say, some pictures, like wwhen it says 'the leader', my dear friend KK looked awwesome. He also looked awwesome before the wwords started, wwhen he wwoke up in Prospit. Then, some others looked awwesome, too. Thanks for making this really epic vvideo. =3

[CheshireMax]

@Nighteyeslover12

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked the video. Also, I appreciate you trying to talk to this Cena person, but they'll probably just make some rude remark to you and I don't want my video to have mean comments all over it and I don't want anyone else getting insulted. I realize that I may have started this by responding, but I really don't want this to escalate even more. So please if this person does respond, just ignore them. <3

[Nighteyeslover12]

Cena person wwhatevver, wwhat the heck to you think you are doing? If you hate this video, you don't havve to say bad comments about it, nor do you havve to make people feel bad about liking this video! The maker tried their best, people like it, and you suddenly come out and blabber bad comments! You are a total jerk, rude person, idiot, i can't evven describe you! If people like this and you don't, don't be mean and say it's all bad! If you don't like this, then don't freaking WWATCH IT!

[Nighteyeslover12]

@Nighteyeslover12 oh, and this is not Eridan, I made up a character called Aquiri than shares the doubles.

[TheCreedless0]

@Nighteyeslover12 ...you do know you're replying to yourself? XD

[Nighteyeslover12]

@TheCreedless0 Yep, I knoww. =3

[Nighteyeslover12]

@Nighteyeslover12 and do you evven read Homestuck?

[Chaogirl200]

@cena5lifeyeah Be a good little troll and go away. *pats cena's head*

[DupekNukot]

That's... just too awesome. It deserves more views. And as much as it's embarrasing, let me tell you that I'm tearing up a little.

[MrSasori1357]

@cena5lifeyeah I Do Believe I Used Perfect Spelling In My Previous Post So I Bid You With A Parting Gift Of As To What Dave Strider Says Fuck Off

[TheOnlyPopjie123456]

Not bad!

[WhiteSeed29]

This video....I seldom comment.

Too amazing for words <3 <3 <3

[CheshireMax]

@cena5lifeyeah

Learn to use punctuation please.

[CheshireMax]

@cena5lifeyeah

Please get off the internet and stop harassing people, you're making yourself look foolish.

[TheOnlyPopjie123456]

@CheshireMax I see the troll has reached this video too...

[Sdfckz]

@cena5lifeyeah I was not aware that a simple video had the ability to obtain the choice of sexuality. Please, elaborate for arguement before you make yourself look like a complete moron.

[TheCreedless0]

@cena5lifeyeah cry more, brony.

[RMMBound]

@cena5lifeyeah Unintelligent comment. Hoo hoo.

[YonkaiatHMacademy]

@cena5lifeyeah At least that means we're better than Twilight at something :D

[Cakeyzation]

@cena5lifeyeah Ok, assuming you were attempting to insult the video by saying it's more homosexual than an extremely popular book series I am going to congratulate you on being a failure at thinking up original and witty insults and also correct you in your mistake of bad mouthing a very well made video and telling the creator of this video and the fandom to get lives. There's nothing wrong with following a webcomic or having a video making hobby. Maybe you're the one who needs a life.

[bloodpawsdreams]

@cena5lifeyeah phhhht dude you hate homestuck AND mlp ehhehe well i have to say if your this deep into homestuck vids. Then you must really have no life. I mean there is more to homestuck than the idiotic fan base. ((no offense guys you so get out of hand sometimes)) i mean it's like me dissing spinnerette. Which i don't i rather enjoy it. Everyone has something they like dear. You just have to learn to deal with it. ^-^ Also i commented just to see what the commotion was about

[animefest123]

I literally finished Act 5 less than an hour ago. Afterwards, I came strait over here to watch this video, since I saw it before, but didn't want anything spoiled :P

[CheshireMax]

@animefest123

I feel so special :D

[MrSasori1357]

You Just Found Yourself Your New Subscriber

[CheshireMax]

@MrSasori1357

Yay! Let's have a corpse party!

[TheSikorsky]

This is absolutely amazing. I've never seen anything that uses canon material so well before, nor anything that demonstrates just how dramatic Homestuck actually is. The editing is beautiful and the video is incredibly moving. I hope you appreciate what an amazing job you did with this; you deserve so much praise and respect for it.

All the likes. All of them.

[datkid56]

@TheSikorsky So do You for Motivating the Editor for A job Very well Done.

[CheshireMax]

@TheSikorsky

;_; Thank you so much! <3

[marvelfan169]

I have listened to this about a million times and it just gettig better

[mongoosedog377]

Oh wow! This video was so amazing and beautiful! You did such a great job on it! Though the text always being dead centre was a little distracting at times, still though!

[CheshireMax]

@mongoosedog377

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you like the video!

[TheZombieMasterr]

song is called This Is War, i feel like im stating the obvious here ...B|

[CheshireMax]

@TheZombieMasterr

If you read the description I clearly state the name of the song. So thank you for being the second person to tell me the name of the song that I used, I appreciate it in the most ironic way that I can.

Also, if you read the description you would notice that I used two songs, not just This is War.

[Faylahh]

O_O I... am speechless XD That was an awesome video! I like how you assigned the things like leader, pariar (Spelled wrong...) and stuff :D Great job!

[CheshireMax]

@Faylahh

Thank you! :D

[CheshireMax]

@Faylahh

Thank you! :D
