'[S] Cascade' - Homestuck EoA 5

I uploaded this video the day Cascade came out due to Newgrounds (and subsequently MEGAUploads) crashing due to the high volume of traffic. With the death of Flash, I'm glad I kept it up. Sorry for the white bars, crispy music, and the small audio distortion when Jade took Skaia; I hope you understand why it was a bit of a rush job. Cheers.

I do not claim to own Homestuck or any of the songs used in this animation, nor do I profit off their work. Homestuck and all other affiliated sections of MSPA belongs to their respective creators. And thank you, Andrew Hussie, creator of Homestuck.

Pip pip, fuckass.

There is legitimately no feeling quite like watching cascade for the first time on the site and seeing the animation suddenly EXPAND

When [S] doesn't stand for [Sound] but for [Shit just got real].

I just realized Gamzee wasn’t writing “suckers”, he was just highlighting it...

Dear god, that moment with the Red Miles. For context, until this point the entire comic had always been a fixed screen size. When it zoomed out and filled the screen, it was like that moment from Wizard of Oz as it turns from a sepia-tinted black and white to full Technicolor, but instead of gentle child-like wonder, you had this insane boss-battle "oh shit" moment as Jack shows how he can destroy entire universes if he reaches them.

rest in peace AimlessRenegade, one of the most forgotten homestuck characters.

13 Year Old me saw this and thought it was the pinnacle of storytelling

22 Year Old me sees this and still agrees

Dave and Rose's ascend to God Tier was hands down the best thing ever.

I love the symbolism when Spades shoots Snowman. The bullet looks exactly like a cue ball, and Snowman is made to be the 8 ball. When the cue ball hits the last ball (8 ball) in the right spot (the heart), it goes into the hole and the game (the trolls universe) ends.

This feels like something from a world that doesn't exist anymore

I watched this millions of times and I just realized "Draw, Spades" is a playing card pun.

[S]:Collide was nice, but I think the reason it doesn't beat this is because there weren't really any surprises. As far as we can tell, everything went exactly as expected, whereas literally every moment in Cascade is mindblowing plot-wise.

I am SO thankful for the unofficial homestuck collection. I'm on my first read and seeing this as a youtube embed would NOT have been the same.

Ironically, while Bec prototyping himself ended up with Bro's death and Jack's power being extremely potent, he gave him his one weakness: Love. Love was what caused him to carry the now-dead Jade, one of the kids he wanted to kill from the start, and carry her to her quest bed to be revived in god-tier. Love was what caused Jade to come back to life and lead to everyone escaping to the post-scratch world. Love was what caused Jack to, ironically, save each of the kids he set out to kill.

Good dog.

Best friend.

i literally cant even remember half the context for this and it _still_ gives me chills to this day

The worst part about Homestuck being a genius masterpiece is how stupid it is, and how much I don't care about the stupidity and love it anyway.

Remember when the sylladex was a thing? Me neither.

[AJb-bmir]

Remember when grist was actually important?

Half of Homestuck, from the start of A2 Sgrub to the Universe B Scratch, took place over one day.


*One day.*

I feel like many people don't realize just how big of a threat Jack really is because he is constantly overshadowed by English. Not only does Jack possess the powers of a First Guardian(One that showed he could easily destroy an enormous asteroid[and simultaneously wipe out the entire human race]), he also has the Miles which can TRAVEL THROUGH ALL OF REALITY. I know Jack has been...tied up with things(Namely a pissed PM), and can't attack Jade, but if English didn't exist, Jack would be an unbeatable boss, as Karkat said.
