Man, I also tried to celebrate the end of Act 5 with a bit of music myself, but it's nowhere near the level of quality of WMM's, as I literally started making music less than 2 months ago and I'm like, still in high school. Anyway here it is I guess.

It's supposed to be a theme for the Land of Brains and Fire, but maybe Sollux as a whole, I dunno.

You're better than I was when I was in high school after two months of mucking around in FL Studio. I'd recommend more backing instruments and a more constant drum pattern throughout.

I tried and, well, this happened. Ah well.



But anyway, about EoA5:

I don't care what we get, but I want some fights. fast paced troll/human/dog/puppet punching to the face. Especially Terezi, because for some reason I want to see her fight while blind. I hope the entire flash ends with John scratching the Beat Mesa, kind of like how [S] Enter built up to John entering the first Gate.

Gotta wonder what trolls consider heroic or martyr-like.

Our group of trolls? Probably the same thing we do. Our trolls (especially Karkat and Kanaya) are surprisingly human. What heroic or martyr-like mean in "normal" troll society? Who knows.

As I said before on 10/24, I'm trying to improve my lovely music I started making a month ago by drawing some inspiration from Homestuck. Nowhere near as good as other fanmusic others have created, but oh well.



Supposed to be about The 4 kids finally meeting up. Starting with John’s piano, then Rose’s violin, Jade’s flute, and finally coming in with some Sick Strider Beetz.

I asked him what his favorite non [s] page in Homestuck was, like we were doing a few days ago. I don't expect him to answer it though.

Also I asked him if Terezi can see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch :v:

I don't think there's anything really suggesting that the Beat Mesa has to be on the Time hero's planet, but as far as we know, it is the Space hero's job to create the frog that will become the new universe.

It may not necessarily require the time/space players to exist, but it is sensible (as far as conjecture goes.)

No, I'm pretty sure that Doc Scratch explicitly stated that the Scratch Thing is always on the Hero of Time's planet. Somewhere in his conversation with Rose.

Two people liked my LoCaS song so I'll take that as an excuse to poo poo up the thread with my own music in the future. V:shobon:V

Like this one I made a few weeks ago but didn't post here because it's not that good, I'm only like, 16 and have little no no prior experience in music before a few months ago:



Is supposed to represent the 4 kids meeting up, you have John's piano, Rose's violin, Jade's flute (yeah I know she plays bass shut up), and Dave's sick beatz. I suppose after 3 years it would hold enough emotional weight to warrant a song like this.

I made a Homestuck song with the same basic concept last spring. Not that I'm accusing you of anything ;) The violin hits a few sour notes here and there. If I were you I'd add more instruments--just because the primary instruments are supposed to be the kid's instruments doesn't mean they have to be the only instruments in the song. Because of that the song doesn't seem to have much variation. Working in Jade's bass somewhere would give the song a framework and also give the piano something more to do. And if you want to learn more about how music works I'd suggest http://www.musictheory.net. Also one cool thing you could do with the violin and the flute would be to have one playing a melody and another playing a countermelody and have them trade places...

Okay basically thanks for all those links and poo poo, I definitely have to check some of them out. I've always wanted to take a music theory course, but we need at least 15 people to sign up for it to become a class and people aren't that interested. I rally for it each year anyway. :(

Anyway back to Homestuckchat: I don't think how long the time lock lasts really matters, they just need to slow him down just a little, then match his speed so he can never catch up. I doubt he'd want to trail a meteor for three years, so maybe he'll run back to PM for some prime hatelove.

(And then PM kills him)

Rays done (Land of rays and frogs).



Kanaya's land is similar to Jade's in many ways, so I took some of Jade's eastern sounding melodies and made them less pronounced, while still distinct, much like Kanaya's character is in general.

It's not bad, and I like the instrumentation, although I think the earlier critiques about the distinction between atmospheric music and regular songs might still apply here.

Yeah, I'll admit that this is entire project is primarily for myself, so I can properly learn these sort of distinctions. I figured something like the Troll's lands were numerous and varied enough to give me a large range of ideas to work with. I can only hide behind excuses like "I'm new to this whole thing" for so long, so learning and criticism is A Good Thing.

In other, non-avatar related woes:



Not that happy with it to be honest, this one was hard for some reason. I tried to model it after the classic "lava" level in a game, but this is what I ended up with, oh well. I'm not that experienced with basses yet, which is the problem. Definitely my worst so far. I tried to incorporate some sort of electronic noise to signify "brain", but it didn't really work out, so I scrapped it.

Hey, can anyone explain how Aradia became a ghost? And then how that ghost went into a robot? Or whatever? Basically Ghost Aradia makes no sense to me, and I need her help to theorize and subsequently devise lengthy fanfiction and headcanons and stuff (jk about some of that)

Vriska hypnotized Sollux into going to Aradia's house and blowing the poo poo up. Aradia is now dead, and a ghost.

Aradia, during the game, prototypes herself, she is now a ghost sprite frog.

Equius builds a robot for Aradia to possess. She does so, and is now a ghost sprite frog robot.

Then she explodes and goes God Tier on Derse, dropping all of those other adjectives.
