Brave New World [Homestuck - SPOILERS]

READ FIRST: I am not going to answer any more questions about why I made a certain character this or that. I'm tired of getting grief over my decisions. If you don't agree, good for you, but I don't give a shit. If you think you could do better, go make your own, I know that's what a lot of people have done. I didn't make this video to be judged by the fandom, I made it because I love the fandom and I wanted to contribute. So, I'm not going to argue my decisions or change my video. Have a nice fucking day.

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR EOA5! If you have not yet seen it or are not caught up with Homestuck then DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO OR YOU WILL DIE.

Also, I noticed a few mistakes in the video so I fixed it and reuploaded it. If you commented on my last video, comment on this one. You'll get extra love!

Anyways, I worked on this for a good four hours straight yesterday, then an additional two hours that night. I tried to get this up on 10/25 but at at night my computer overheated so I gave up. I swear, dat update. I'm already planning Dogtier Jade. Really.

Song: This is War and 100 Suns

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

@FireflyJar

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

[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!

@kthracerprting4duty

Thank you! <3

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.

@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.

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.

[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.

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

[CorianaRaposa]

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

[Midnafreakable]

Let me tell you about Homestuck.

[EPICWINize]

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

[EPICWINize]

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

[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.

[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.

[KasuryAngelDarkness0]

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