Lyrics:

All these familiar faces
Even in a world that is new
It still feels like I know you

Through seldom-traveled places
We began a story with every step
And rewrote it with every breath

You know that we
We tried to prove we have the best intentions and
We tried to understand through education and
We tried to live in our imaginations
Some things don't back down

The water's rising
A green horizon
Maybe you and I
Will be reborn, too

Wеll it's been ages
A thousand pages
Imposed on onе another
But I still remember you

We are wandering stars in (Find the shade of your soul all)
Sweet harmony (When you've finally found you)
We're all part of a symphony
Of a changing universe (Know when you've finally found you)
Us young adventurers

One life to show us what you're made of
Just drop the fear, jump a tier, find the shade of
Your soul all reflected around you
Yes, you will know when you've finally found you

Each life we might have lived through
Every part of us still exists
Every fragment is endless

This world we've walked on into
Even when it feels overwhelming
It's just the beginning

The water's rising
A new horizon
Maybe you and I
Will be reborn, too

Well it's been ages
A thousand stages
Imposed on one another
But I still remember you

We are wandering stars in (Just drop the fear, jump a tier, find the shade of)
Sweet harmony (When you've finally found you)
We're all part of a symphony (Drop the fear, jump a tier, find the shade of)
Of a changing universe (Will know when you've finally found you)

From a thousand different worlds
On another kind of earth
Us young adventurers

[Lyric video]

my love letter to homestuck is finally complete!!!! it isn't as perfect as i wanted it to be, but it has my heart in it, and that's really all i could ask for. i've never animated before so this was a really interesting challenge.

i'm going to write something more flowery soon(tm) after i've slept (ur friend horizon has been running leslie knope sleeping hours lately) but i really have to say a huge thank you to every single listener, every person who posted in the homestuck tags over the years, every team member, every professional classpector, and The Huss himself --

thank you. you showed me the path to my future and gave me a hell of a lot of hope and heartbreak with it. i wouldn't have it any other way.

special thanks to Ymi, who created the skaianet ARG that inspired me to make something for the anniversary. where would we even be without ollywood showdown?

yoyoYolo:

probably my favorite cover art for what might be my favorite song: sburban juxtaposition. the track is so good i basically drew the whole cover while listening to it on loop. coloring the meteors was a lot of fun too. rose’s pose is actually inspired by miles’ leap of faith from spider-man: into the spiderverse (the spiderverse movies have consumed me ever since i saw atsv in theatres, it can’t be helped).
