[dyst-blogs]

a few months ago i found this really cool website, its a homestuck fan project that basically functions as a live radio station for homestuck music!!! its got a live chat to hang out in as you listen to pretty much any homestuck-related music, including the "canon" albums and way more fanworks than i even knew existed. I really recommend it if you are an enjoyer of the homestuck soundtrack in any way. you can also request tracks if u wanna just listen to a few of ur faves!!!

i've noticed that every fall since first reading the webcomic back in late 2017, i've gotten back into homestuck! usually it's been because of the amazing fancreations like @phemiec's fansongs! i really hope you see and enjoy this! it's not perfect, but i love both computer music making and homestuck and this combined the two!

Maybe it'll turn out better this time: A love letter to all the joy and sorrow that this story has given me

(Art by @blogofyolo)

Here's the first of two tracks I had on Land of Fans and Music 5 Act 2, which came out two days ago! I'm dedicating this one to @utopianparadoxist, who wrote the post that made this track appear in my mind in such blinding clarity I couldn't stop making until it was done.

I also have some extended commentary about this one--it's more important to me than I give it credit for.

When I finished reading Homestuck, I was...disappointed. That disappointment morphed gradually into disgust as I watched schisms violently open in the fandom following the Epilogues and Homestuck^2, and in the process I felt like I'd lost something.

I kept thinking that maybe, if I just read the comic again, it would turn out different. Maybe it'd be the story I'd once loved and it would fill me with breathless wonder again. Maybe it'd be better.

But earlier this year, a post by uP crossed my dash after he'd disappeared from my periphery for well over a year. He was outlining his plans surrounding Pumpkin Path, a story he's writing that runs adjacent to the Epilogues and (eventually though not yet?) gives these characters the futures they've earned.

And I realised...the way I'd been thinking about it, that's not how it works, y'know? It's not the story that has changed: it's my heart, my relationship with it. And the best thing I could do was take what this once-beloved story gave me and make something new with it. And that's what many people have done in the wake of Homestuck's end: we've all gone off and made new stories, for which this long-beloved comic was an undeniable progenitor.

It reminded me of a certain recurring motif in the comic itself. Every time the universe resulted in a corrupt or barren session, the players...well, they rebooted it. They left the old universe behind, and started a new one, billions of years all over again just to see where it would go this time.

There was no use in searching for the story that used to be, because it was me that had changed.

You may as well leave that old universe behind and start a new one from scratch.

This is the idea that seeded the above track, and it caught me off guard, because it was the first Homestuck music I had made in more than two years--after I thought I'd sworn it off for good. And then, two days later, Maybe it'll turn out better this time was done. (Two days is, by the way, a very short time for a track to emerge.) It was a small, silly, wonderful little thing, a sapling in the ashes, that proved to me that things could change.

But beyond my track, the entirety of LOFAM5A2 feels especially so. It's a startling breath of fresh air that emerged from so much genuine joy and excitement. I'm happy I got to contribute even just a little work to it and I really, really hope that the fandom sees it for all that went into it. An UMSPAF manager once said that my music always sounds hopeful, but it was never intentional until this one. Thank you to everyone who's made good art that has inspired others in turn, you create life with your own hands.

Did you know Toby Fox composed and sang a Ska song for the Homestuck soundtrack? Now you do!!

Lyrics:

When I was young it seemed like everywhere was easy street Playing on my pogo ride, kicking back my feet And they were so simple I believed all that came But my mind still brittles since I borrowed this game

And there is no here and no now Only what those mad gods have in store for us all Don't you wish you Could just go back to the old days When all the truth was just the setting sun

Forget about past and forget about your future Like trees blowing by the wind these things have no sway upon you Forget about your job and forget about homework Now draw out your weapon and break it in two

Forget about your life and forget about your world Just don't forget your friends cause they'll pull you through

And there is no here and no now Only what those mad gods have in store for us all Don't you wish you Could just go back to your old home Sitting on the roof, just to watch the setting sun
