This is What Homestuck is

Originally posted on http://wardackerman.tumblr.com

Homestuck Song Redux! Went and made a fancier and more elaborate version of my Homestuck Song to see if I could and this is the end result. BIG SILLY NERD I AM.

Here is a zip file with the song, the original acoustic demo (bit faster/sloppy), and the lyrics/chords.

==================
LYRICS & CHORDS:

There's a boy, named John
G D
he's kind of silly but he gets along
Am C
with his friend Dave who drops rhymes
he's the coolest motherfucker
he's the knight of time
they know Jade
the witch of space
she's sort of narcoleptic
and she slaps that bass
then there's Rose
the seer of light
she's grim and edgy
but is dark like the night

This is what Homestuck is
G D C
this is what Homestuck is
G D C
more than just fun and kids
G B C
This is what Homestuck is
G D C

Now there's guardians
and the midnight crew
Prospit, Derse plus dream selves too
not to mention paradox clones
and the land each kid gets of their own

God tier, alternate selves
and all this prototyping sure makes things confusing
and once this all starts to jive
get ready to be bewildered as we start Act 5

CHORUS

Well there's trolls too
and they aren't from here
come from Alternia
man that place is weird
they got a strange way
of showing romance
quadrants and shipping walls
that shit just makes my head spin
twelve of them too many to explain
so here's the cliff notes as I list their names

Aradia, robot
D
Equis, strong
F
Vriska, huge bitch
C
Gamzee , honk honk
G

Tavros, pupa-pan
Sollux, doomed
Karkat, angry
Kanaya, fashion
Terezi, justice
Eridan, sadsack
Nepeta, meow meow
Feferi, glub glub

Sometimes it's hard to understand
D Am C
it's all part of Andrew Hussies plan
G D C

BRIDGE
G, D, C x2
G, F, C x2

CHORUS x2

People don't understand it because that is the literal point. If you just read it and deal with it, it's fucking hilarious. Also, you have to have some kind of basic knowledge of the English language or you'll get immediately lost. This song is amazing. If you actually get the comic then you'll get this song. So funny.

@mystalkerandmii There are a few sites that are pretty good walkthroughs if you have trouble following. c: Just look up homestuck timeline or homestuck act summaries. The homestuck wiki is what I use usually.

[StarlightTheAmpharos]

@mystalkerandmii If you want to understand what's going on, just read the story. If you just skip you won't understand the story at all, especially if you skipped to Act 5.

[mystalkerandmii]

I tried reading Homestuck, and it just was really long and uninteresting in the first part I guess

I asked someone what I should do and they said to skip to act 5 or 4

I have no idea what's going on and I'm trying to find a video that explains the basics....

If you could find a way to kick these lyrics up a notch and, like, fit them to, like, Upward Movement or Descend or something, and then you've got a real Homestuck thing. This slow guitar thing does not do the glorious web-epic good enough, sirs.

[maplelovessyrup]

This is great

Now when someone asks ME what homestuck is

I just sing this song.

[Wafflepal]

I love this fandom. I love it so much. <3

Now whenever my friends ask me about Homestuck, I just send them this.
