[broadway-stuck]

Happy birthday, CrockerBerts, and happy 4/13 to the rest! Thank you for another great Homestuck day! For this wondrous occasion, we bring you a lesser known gem from Horizonanadyomene on YouTube (original: Here)

As well, thanks to our talented caballineToxophallic for providing the cover art and the amazing auricTruism for mixing this so beautifully!

The lyrics as they were distributed below the cut:

[ROSE] All these familiar faces even in a world that is new it still feels like i know you

[KANAYA] Through seldom-traveled places we began a story with every step and rewrote it with every breath

You know that we

[EQUIUS] We tried to prove we have the best intentions we tried to understand through education

[SOLLUX] We tried to live in our imaginations some things don't back down

[DOC SCRATCH] The water's rising a green horizon

[CALLIOPE] Maybe you and i will be reborn, too

[CALIBORN] Well it's been ages a thousand pages imposed on one another but i still remember you

[CALLIOPE] We are wandering stars in sweet harmony

[DOC SCRATCH] We're all part of a symphony of a changing universe

[ARADIA] Us young adventurers

[JADE] 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

[DIRK] Each life we might have lived through every part of us still exists; every fragment is endless

[JANE] This world we've walked on into even when it feels overwhelming, it's just the beginning

[VRISKA] The water's rising a new horizon maybe you and i will be reborn, too

[ROXY] Well it's been ages a thousand stages imposed on one another but i still remember you

[ERIDAN] We are wandering stars in sweet harmony we're all part of a symphony of a changing universe

[JOHN] From a thousand different worlds on another kind of earth us young adventurers

[broadway-dave]

another hit-home banger

some things you just gotta let go of yknow?

(Lyrics under the cut!

Backing vocals done by our very own Equius, the amazing caballineToxophallic!)

I've been hiding out, running from the curse of the blackened eye

Uh-huh

Darlin' I can feel it coming every time

I sat around last year, wished so many times that I would die

Uh-huh

Left it all and now I can see the night

It's true, true it follows me around

Nothing to lose, wouldn't miss it anyhow

It ain't the letting go, it's more about the things that you take with

Uh-huh

And I can feel it getting closer with every kiss

You gotta beat or join 'em, try to act surprised

Just flip a coin 'cause I'm too bored to lie

It's true, true it follows me around

Nothing to lose, wouldn't miss it anyhow

Always said I should work on my escape

Have a heart too long, it's bound to break

Acting out the opus of your last eternal ache

Boy, just sing the song for heaven's sake

It's true, true it follows me around

Nothing to lose, wouldn't miss it anyhow

It's true, true it follows me around

Nothing to lose, lost it all anyhow

Damn green sun

Damn green sun

Damn green sun

Yeah, damn Green Sun

lyriic2 by me under the cut

Equius: There's a game in the world, a little bit of bait and switch Solicitations and spurns, so if I had to pony up I'd bet on humans, 'cause they don't have to get caught up Filling their quadrants with a little game of bait and switch

Both: Signless did it, Empress did it The useless cannon fodder in the fleet will do it The lowbloods do it, the highbloods do it Only the unlucky of us get to do it

Sollux: Should we fill a quad Equius: Let’s fill a quad

Sollux: There's a game in the world, a little bit of bait and switch Hard to crack this romance code, so if I had to ante up I'd bet on humans, 'cause they don't have to walk around Flipping spades, hearts and clubs and a little bit of diamond lust

Both: Signless did it, Empress did it Even though I bet they wish they really didn't Should we do it, can we do it Even all of our Ancestors did it Fuck let’s do it Just get to it The useless canon fodder in the fleet can do it The lowbloods do it, the highbloods do it Only the unlucky of us get to do it

Equius: Let's fill a quad Sollux: Let's fill a quad

Both: Haah-haah-haah-haah Haah-haah-haah-haah Haah-haah-haah-haah

Sollux: Signless did it Equius: Empress did it Both: The useless cannon fodder in the fleet will do it Sollux: The lowbloods do it Equius: The highbloods do it Both: Only the unlucky of us get to do it

[ Translation: Hello! You can call me Nullor! I'm a Lime Blood troll. I like Broadway Karkat's music, so I'm going to post the lyrics to the songs that are on Spotify. I've got nearly thirty (30) songs done already! However, I will be posting probably one (1) or two (2) a day only. Also, I've never used Tumblr before, so please understand if I'm not the savviest right away :) One more thing: I'll probably take requests for other Homestuck related songs after I've gone through all of the songs I have in mind! ]

please elaborate on your homestuck is like into the woods take because i read those tags and it blew my brain wide open i need to know more but like you are so right what if what you thought you wanted made you miserable and the story should have ended but it kept going and everyones dying horribly wow parallel of feeding the narrator to the giant and hussie being killed by and also part of lord english cant wait for homestuck to make it to broadway

so there's a sideways video that i'm kind of at risk of just repeating word for word from here, he explains it in a way i would just kind of idly repeat when describing the musical construction here

so here's that: the musical moral of into the woods

and you're correct about the "what if what you thought you wanted made you miserable" and "the story should have ended but it kept going" and "kill the narrator" but it's also in its judicious establishment of shorthands. in into the woods, this is in its musical expressions - "i want to go to the festival", "there are giants in the sky", etc etc. each character and each narrative arc is given a leitmotif that keeps the audience on track even with a billion characters running around. and ultimately, the expression of the theme is in relation to these little leitmotifs. these shorthands are deployed to great effect in homestuck too.

vriska is a blueblood whose relationship to breaking eight balls causes her to have snowballing bad luck, something compounded by her complex cycle of revenge, started off by the author figure for her narrative, doc scratch, which is something she overcomes with her ascension to god-tier and then defeat of english in act 7. but when it comes to breaking those eight balls, addiction is a powerful thing.

equius is a blueblood whose relationship to breaking bows reflects his unbendable adherence to rules, an arc that ultimately ends with his submission to the power structures of the world he grew up in, asphyxiated by the broken bow by a highblood he could have summarily defeated if he could have simply just, bent the rules. but addiction is a powerful thing.

jane is a rich girl (blue-blooded, natch) whose relationship to her brands is obviously toxic for herself and her friends - in her introductory pages she's inundated with subliminal messaging, groomed into being the perfect heiress by her imperious condescension, who is actively using the crockercorp brand as the means to reach out to jane. and wouldn't you know it, brand loyalty is a powerful thing.

and since vriska and equius have opposing relationships to this idea - vriska overcomes it, equius doesn't - it creates ambiguity as to how jane is going to relate to it, but there's no question as to whether it's gesturing at the same ideas. and evidently, she doesn't overcome it, at least in the homestuck epilogues, but it is a pattern, it's a beat hit intentionally.

it's this construction of homestuck as a reiteration on itself, repeating itself in new ways that express the story being told that makes it *really really* comparable to into the woods imo, just as much as any of the things you mentioned. also, this is just a bit more shallow, but one of the ways homestuck is divided on the map page is into "sides", side A before they break the fourth wall and side B after, and it just as easily reflects acts 1 and 2 of into the woods, splitting into this "narrative done right", and the ramifications thereof. pretty fun to think about

[broadway-stuck]

And with that post comes the end of our first album!

That's right! We have just finished our first album now with 100 official tracks! As well as that we now have reopened the role of Broadway Feferi to be cast amongst Broadway Jade, Broadway Gamzee, Broadway Equius, and Broadway Eridan!

Now before any questions come about our original Broadway Feferi, I will state very clearly that there was no ill will or bad intentions. We just have a 2 week rule for absence without song uploading and the original Feferi has a busy life so she couldn't maintain it.

As much as we loved her, we could not let her slip past the two week rule without seeing any sign from her, and I feel the need to mention this, so you auditioning prospects know before you audition that we do have a 2 week rule of absence (that being if you go past two weeks without a post or even having songs on hold to post, we will have to recast).

Again, there wasn't any issues behind the scenes, it was simply life getting in the way. But that's ok! Cause it's a new album and with a new album comes a fresh new voice! If you would like to audition for any of the Broadwaystucks mentioned before, please email [email protected] before it's too late!

Mod Nepeta ~ out!

so! here's where i make a really funny joke and everyone laughs: ha ha ha that was great! but seriously, this was a great project that a lot of us worked on! i bet you're wondering, gee who worked on it? well i'm glad you ask really easy rhetorical questions that i have the answer to!

Cast: @broadway-june @broadway-equius Choir: @broadway-calliope @broadwayy-kanaya @broadway-john @broadway-sollux (as mituna) @broadway-terezi Art, editing, lyrics: @broadway-equius song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VynZTYtvWFA i'd say equius put blood, sweat, and tears into this, buuuuuuuut i'm pretty sure it was mostly sweat, heh. i'm also like, 99.99% sure this wouldn't have been possible at all without their work! (see the art, editing, lyrics, and singing credit above for evidence, yeah i cite my sources, hehe) without further ado though, please enjoy and on behalf of all of us that worked on this project, thanks for listening! p.s, the lyrics are hiding below!

Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Do you think if we try We'll make it out alive More than survive Meaning to life Please take a breath Avoiding death I don’t make promises I know I’ll break Ahh, ah ah ah The future seems so bleak now We need to make it out somehow Would you stay with me even if We don’t know what’s to come As a young lass I always felt destined for lesser things than saving the friends I adore Oh no, here it comes, can’t afford to fail We will prevail! Do the windy thing, Do the windy thing, Dance for me, play the game Do the windy thing, Do the windy thing, Dance for me, it's all the same Heed the mind’s eye and go back where it all went wrong Fix our mistakes, make it better, one more chance! Nev-er stop play-ing (Ahh, ah ah ah) Nev-er stop sing-ing (Ahh, ah ah ah) Now the time has came, to see if we have what it takes to really win Though I’ve tried I know I can’t do this alone, again Do not make the same mistakes as I You'll never come back from certain death You'll lose everyone you’ve ever loved You’ve only forsaken yourself No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone You won’t make it out, No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone No, don’t go alone You won’t make it out alive

The time has come to step up, I’m really a god Never give up, rise to the occasion, feeling light as air It matters more the ever to make the score I’m more than a breeze, I'm the air in your lungs A reckoning that you’ve earned so you can Take your last Breath Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Ahh, ah ah ah Now I know that I don’t have To face this all alone, I have you close Now I know that I don’t have To play or sing or dance anymore Ahh, ah ah ah
