Okay seems like y'all need an explanation so prepare.

Homestuck is a webcomic on the MSPA site by Andrew Hussie. It is interactive in some parts, and has a shit ton of music. It started on April 13, 2009, and ended after seven years and over 8000 pages on April 13, 2016. Toby Fox did music for the comic back when he was just a senior in college. It features the second iteration of Meglovania, arguably his most recognizable song. Bit more on that later.

In the first three or so acts it follows four kids who play a game that causes the end of the world. They're being trolled by internet trolls along the way, who turn out to be actual aliens. Once again, a bit more on that later. The games gives these four kids, John Egbert, Rose Lalonde, Dave Strider and Jade Harley, some pretty cool powers. Howeved, because Jade let her omnipotent god thing of a dog, Beq, into a game construct which gave all of the in-game enemiesits power, she doomed the session to the need to be Scratched.

So Act 5 comes along and shiws up the twelve internet trolls, who are literal Trolls, a race of aliens who created the kids universe ny playing the game. These trolls are Karkat Vantas, Aradia Medigo, Tavros Nitram, Sollux Captor, Nepeta Leijon, Kanaya Maryam, Terezi Pyrope, Vriska Serket, Equius Zarhak, Gamzee Makara, Eridan Ampora and Feferi Pexies. The god dog Jade let get into the game construct mentioned earlier, her sprite, allows one of the in-game enemies, Jack Noir, to steal the Black Queen's ring, but not before killing her, and become Beq Noir and trash the session.

And then Gamzee has to go on a murderous rampage and kill multiple trolls, along with Eridan and Vriska also killing people. Terezi and Kanaya both go and murder Vriska and Eridan respectively to solve this problem.

Now, the Kids Scratch their session, but not before everyone escapes. Then we're introduced to twelve more Trolls and four more kids, who have all fucked up in their own right. They all have to beat up the bad guys and deal with a super mega bad guy, LORD ENGLISH and other villains.

Two more characters are introduced, Calliope and Caliborn, who are actually two people in the same body, with Caliborn going on to successfully getting through the game and becoming LORD ENGLISH after killing Calliope. But Calliope is brought to life via a special ring, and everyone wins in the end because of some pretty sick God Tier stuff.

And the Meglovania in Homestuck is by Toby Fox, and belongs to the character Vriska Serket, but it's not the first verison.

That goes to Dr. Andonuts from Toby's Earthbound Halloween Hack, who famously said, "VRIK. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR SHIT. I will rip you in half, then shove your asses so far down your throats so that whenever you take a shit you will be singing fucking BEETHOVEN," which immediately sets the mood for that game.

But Meglovania is not his best somg.

And the work he did for the Earthbound Fan Album (seperate from the Halloween Hack), or Homestuck, or Undertale.

Oh no.

That reward goes to his protest album after underaged shipping between Dave and Rose (who are actually related, mind you) got to Steven (yeah i'm throwing you under the bus) levels of weird. The Opera That Shall Not Be Named. ..

The Baby Is You*


 * that's the entire album on a YouTube video because I couldn't actually find the bandcamp lol.
