Original track by Clark Powell, with additional work by Toby Fox
Act 7 gets a bad wrap.
Does it leave a lot of loose plot threads? Oh, without a doubt. Homestuck currently has more hanging threads than that pair of cutoff jeans you should have thrown away a year ago. I think most of them will never be revisited. Apologies, but man, I don’t really care about Zillywave and Sawhoo, and I don’t care what they’re up to.
For being the ‘last’ part of Homestuck, I get the disappointment in Act 7. Some of that salt will probably be hosed off in the epilogue. That said, I really liked seeing the rise and fall of Lord English in Act 7. I thought it was a really cool, poetic way to sign off.
On to the song. If you’re wondering about the differences between the old version and the new, this track has a new Doctor / Sburban Jungle section that starts around the 6:20 mark.
If you’re going to buy some music, though, and you’ve got three more bucks to spend, then pick up Symphony Impossible to Play, which includes the majority of this song, and also three more. The version of Sarabande on that album is spectacular.
