homestuck au where it’s just the beta kids’ modded to hell and back minecraft server. we’re talking those forge modpacks with 100, 200, 300 mods that take forever to load and they’re not small mods either
alchemy fuckery is the weird interplay between 5 different tech/crafting mods and all the exploits that come with that, same deal with modi and storage mods, lands are mod dimensions or biomes, 12 other kids broke their own server and keep pestering them to let them join, the scratch is when shit gets borked beyond repair and they decide to start the world over- except they get the seed wrong
You survey this bullshit unfolding from behind your FENESTRATED WALL. It’s obviously a massive waste of time.
Now facing SOUTH, you pause to marvel at the beauty of your office wall mural celebrating the works of Andrew Hussie. You had it commissioned some time ago by a promising young artist. Best $11,000 you ever spent!
You figure as long as you’re chilling at your computer you might as well see how that new MSPA story is going. You haven’t looked at it in a while.
Holy shit at first i was like ‘why isnt the image not loading?’… and the i notice a tiny orange line to the left of the screen and GOD was i not prepared
I have recut and remastered my track Flare, as it was presented to you in the Cascade flash (rather than the calmed-down album version). I get asked a lot for this, so I decided to give it some extra love and attention.
I have attempted a number of times to put together a mix of Flare that utilized the distinctive crescendo that is recognizable from Cascade, but it never seems to work well without the cinematic context. The buildup sort of leads to nothing, and then the track either ends awkwardly or fades out, and I have something personal against fade-outs. Maybe I’ll talk about that someday. But not now.
I gave it another go, this time trying a decrescendo to bring the song back down from all the energy it riles up, then ending it on kind of a creepy note. I had more success here than I ever have in past attempts to cut the song together in this way.
Flare was a pretty big hit in its own right, so there’s always the pressure coming from the responsibility to handle this properly. I hope you enjoy it!
The artwork is the track illustration for Flare’s release on Vol. 8, and it is drawn by the startlingly talented Richard Gung.
As this journey draws to an end, I wanted to take the opportunity to reach out to the Homestuck fandom.
SBARG was an incredible experience, born out of love for the fandom as much as it was born out of love for Homestuck itself. Your unwavering enthusiasm and dedication pushed me to create this experience as a thank you, and a way to give back to you all for everything that you have given me.
We have been on an amazing journey together these last seven years, and
the amount of love, creativity, and support that has poured from your
hearts is nothing short of incredible. When the story ends, please don’t
feel sad; instead, take that time to think back on everything you’ve
accomplished during this time, all the friends you’ve met, and remember
it fondly.
Understand that while the comic may be over, the warmth of this fandom will always be there to welcome you when you feel alone, no matter how far in the future you find yourself feeling nostalgic.
As a parting request, I’d like to also reach out and ask if anyone who followed SBARG while it was ongoing happened to mirror any of the flash animations that were posted. Unfortunately, as websites do, the site I had used to host the flashes was taken down and I no longer have the files. There is a project undertaking the task of archiving everything that transpired during the ARG, and also for personal reasons, I’d like to be able to watch them again. If anyone happened to download them please let me know.
Take care, everyone. Be the best you can be, and when you’re feeling nostalgic, remember that you can always come back home.
