People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.

Since Homestuck is trending again because of the Spindlehorse Pilot, I did just want to take a moment to remember “Usagi” Buzinkai, a really talented composer who wrote one of the most iconic and reoccurring melodies in Homestuck, Doctor.

Usagi was a brilliant musician and composer who tragically passed away in 2018. She was early in her transition at the time of her passing, and I was unable to find any confirmation of the name she preferred. I will be referring to her using her online moniker “Usagi” since we don’t know how she felt about the name she was given at birth, or if she wanted to change it.

She wrote many of the most beloved songs for Homestuck, as well as the soundtrack for the game Spelunkey.

Usagi was a part of the LGBTQ community, and talked about her experiences regarding her trans and ace identities openly and with joy.

Her Bandcamp and last album, Qualia, can be found here

Usagi’s music deeply impacted many people. Homestuck as a whole would not be the same without the iconic songs that she wrote for it. Her music influenced Toby Fox, who remixed Buzinkai’s song “Doctor” and sites the song as a major turning point in his growth as a musician.

I didn’t even know that she was the composer or that she had passed until a few years ago.

I was really upset to learn that someone who contributed so much to something I loved had passed and, in my opinion, never really received the wide-spread recognition she deserved for her art. My goal in making this post is to try and educate people who were unaware of her artistic contributions to Homestuck. I hope to honor her memory, as well as the beauty and music she brought to the world.

I’ll leave you with a really lovely quote from her regarding accepting and discovering one’s identity:

“…There's nothing like that first time stepping out as yourself, talking about who you are meant to be without fear. The world might come knocking, but when it does, knock back louder and say it loudly and proudly;

"This is my life. This is who I am right now. I won't wear a mask for you."”

i love rose lalonde so much she is like "i want to play this game because i want to see my dead cat. not that he's that important to me but i'm going to try using a time machine in my mom's lab to teleport my cat. i ended up cloning my cat. i only knew him when i was five and i am thirteen now so i don't really care. the lab is on fire now. i'm going to take one of the clones and name it mutie. last year i made a snowman of my cat in my yard. my cat is dead now in my backyard. after i heard his last words i've been scrawling them in my journal ever since. i don't think much about my cat though. i found my cat's body in my mom's room and grabbed it. the world is about to be destroyed by meteors. i'm going to put my cat in this glowing orb now so i can revive my cat. now i am in a new world and my house is gone. my cat is here. i'm telling him i love him. i missed him so much."

vriska.

every once in a while im like "i dont know why vriska had such a deep impact on my psyche" and then i reread homestuck or i just read something about her written by people who actually understand her and im like "ohhhhh thats whyyyy"

okay im thinking about vriska. im thinking about the cycle of abuse (always taking / never giving, never compromising). im thinking about how one of the secrets to understanding vriska is realizing that she is CONSTANTLY using other people as vessels to deliver unto herself her own crazy cosmic-level self-punishment. im thinking about her search for relevance / her need to be Meaningful in everything she does / everything shes been through (the abuse made me stronger so i had to go through it, it meant something. hurting other people made them care about me, it meant something). im thinking about how, when youre trapped in the type of abusive household that forces you to become self-sufficient at a very young age, when you are stuck being the parent for your parent, when your parent only uses you as a mirror for themself, and when you are taught that failure is not an option time and time again you develop a sort of resentment for people who dont hold themselves to the same impossible standards you were always held to. im thinking about how it teaches you that picking yourself up by the bootstraps and going it alone and never being vulnerable never asking for help never compromising always taking is your only option. im thinking about being trapped under the thumb of your upbringing because you dont know how else to Be. im thinking about vriska
