im sorry but his sprite here looks like a 5 year old who's just walked into his parents' room to announce that he's done something he's proud of
And that’s the best thing about it.

Happy Equius = *Best* Equius
sobs horribly as the morse code says "SOS"
which morse code?
Yeah... He can't help who he is, he wants to be different so badly but he's too fucked up mentally to change. So instead he takes out his frustration on things he knows he can't hurt. He wants to be gentle, but its just physically not possible for him. There's a lot more to Equius than people think it makes me sad to hear them just call him a perverted creep and a 'racist'
@@regionuclearbonanza9795 at the end part where the beeping is, it says "SOS"
Zyx Also Lord English
The music team whants to scape the homestuck
He's SO PRETTY and I HATE IT.
imlovedavepeta B33 why do u hate it?
@@ankapirachu426 Because I don't like the side effect of emotions. :((
@@imlovedavepetab3374 i'm 4 months late but same :(( fictional cute boys are a pain indeed
Morse is one letter off from Horse.
100%
And I’ll type this in morse code just to be clear:
_ . _ _ . . . .
would a fox communicate to a horse using mo-o-o-orse
that beeping near the end is morse code
its ... --- ...
or SOS in morse code
Probably an artifact. Can't remember all the details but I believe there was a music contest for originally for the Exiles that was changed half way through to be about the kids and trolls. This might be one that was for the firefly that was given to another character (Equius).
That album has another track (Cobalt Thief) with morse code. That one was also originally for the firefly but was given to Vriska.

The music team is asking for help they plead to the public but they plead to the deaf ears of ancient gods that serve as a sacrifice for an even greather power they ask for help but all they see is they knowing smiles of the fandom as we die as well.
@@prinnyramza this has been equius's theme from colors and mayhem, it's been theorized to have something to do with equius being trapped in the lord english amalgam with AR and gamzee
Seeing Equius smile like that makes me so happy and wanna cry. Look at him! Hes precious and deserves happiness!! I love him.
Unpleasant Dreams Everyone deserves happiness except Scratch and LE.
Happy horse bapey
Meg Dale Very good happy horse bapey
the last smile he ever had in his life was on the ground
:o)
@@tooth6676 why must you hurt me this way?
I need Nepeta's route to have reader teleport her to Equius

It happened
@@1icedcoffee277 I saw that
Well you predicted the future fellow Homestuck-
Congratulations
you predicted the future holy jesus-
I’m so glad they used indigo heir and not horsechestra like i was expecting
AlexDraws neigh
I consider Indigo Heir his theme anyway. The mix of Orchestral instruments and those trap-beat-like hi-hats and snares fit him so well imo
@Dick Rider ive seen eq's route and im not gonna spoiler but that's pretty much what they did, and they handled it fantastically!
im sorry... *horsechestra*?
KK Homestuck yes?
To be honest I was more excited for sweaty horse boi than Terezi.
Sergeant Mituna same everyone was so hyped for TZ- I was too but not as much.
I think i am a rare exception to the Terezi hype everybody got . Like i didn't even cared that much about Terezi becose i coudn't wait for Equius anymore . Like i just wanted to see his routes for a very long time and I am very happy they did him justice .
He's super misunderstood... He's my patron troll and the poor guy just wants to feel something other than brutality... Like sure he's got his kinks (literally) but most times when he's a jerk or being stern with Nepeta its because he thinks he's doing the right thing. He wants to protect something for once instead of break it. I love that about him.
might be because terezi already has so much going for her. she was a big part of the epilogues (at least in meat), seems to be a big part of homestuck 2 and generally had a lot of character development in the original comic. pesterquest is the first time equius had lines of dialogue since 2012, so its understandable (especially if you already liked equius a lot like i did) that you would be more excited about that over a character that already had a lot of recent content
He so 😍 fuckin 🥰 precious 💙 when he smile 😁
Hit it 🤛 from the 😘 back and drive you 😏 wild 😝
Boy 🐎 I lose myself 🤤 up in those eyes 👀
I just had 🤗 to let you 🥴 know you're mine 💦
I really liked this route . Less unnecessary jokes, more character exploration. It’s well done, in my opinion.
Also , I was surprised when Mspa reader talked in first person.
well equius is one of the trolls that didn't get as much screen time as the others, so i think they knew he is one of the characters that should be explored more
Lalo Hunt did this route, and they have a pretty good track record with their routes, I think! They did Wanshi's route, which is still one of my all time favorites.
Equius was given justice in this arc.
hence his weapon of choice: the bow (arc in french) also to bow is the only thing he couldn't do, in the end.
Choosing to use this space as a reminder that Equius was not originally STRONG because of his blood, it was his classpect and being kind of a freak, but fanon embraced STRONGness as a typical trait of b100b100ds regardless
And it as been pretty much confirmed in Amisia's route
I believe it’s explained that indigo bloods do have natural strength physically but Equius in particular is unusually stronger and dosent know how to control it as much?
@@jvalentino7705 yes. Equius is so l100dicrously STRONG that a gentle pat of his hand could shatter steel. And as we've seen, he's a gentle soul who the talent is borderline wasted on (part of why he couldn't kill gamzee is that... He doesn't have it in him to hurt *anyone.*)
Definitely. Though other blue bloods are stronger then normal (since trolls get stronger the higher the hemocaste they are), but Equius is ridiculously strong for even his caste.
To clarify: Bluebloods were decided to be STRONG because Equius' traits influenced the fandom, not the other way around.
headcanon: it is equius playing the piano here. at the beginning the keys are being pushed down quite hard and loudly but later in they become more tuned and practiced, but still very intense.
i like to imagine equius learning piano to train his strength and simmer it down. maybe even playing a song to calm his nerves from time to time.
I'm glad equius got some more love from the fandom now.
I think Equius is the best friend we made in pesterquest at this moment
best part of this comments section: people hearing this song for the first time and realising what the morse code means
indigo heir is best song. i love equius after this, like in homestuck proper he was great because he was weird as all hell but man. they really built a nice character for him after this one. he was so bad he was good before, but now he's just good
also look at this buff little kid! he's smiling for the camera!!!
equius was always a guud character you all are just Cowards ! 8(
@@lovelovemiraclesunsetgirl yeah you're right
Equius was always a bangin character. I love his roleplays with nepeta so much.
The Heir of void wants to see the Rogue of Heart someday
That's really sad
“Rouge”
@@PikachuPr0 ``Hier``
Original comment doesn’t say “hier” tho
It said “rouge of heart” before it was edited
LOOK AT HIM SMILE I’m gonna have a stroke
morse code in Equius song: says SOS
me, already in filthy tears as I recount homestuck in my head: Thank you Paul.
The STRONGEST theme I've ever heard... ♐♐♐
Dirk can probably rap to this.
you know who He totally could.
@@youknowwho8001 This song was originally going to be a theme for Dirk. They switched it over to Equius after the fact. It's kind of ironic, seeing as most of Dirk's themes are just stolen from Dave and one of his few original themes were also taken away and repurposed to a different character.
precious bb, would protect at all costs [even though he is completely capable of defending himself]
100 galloping horses could not compare to the STRONG feeling of meeting the best boy.
I know that Equius was meant to be kind of a joke in original comic, but still I'm glad this route explored his personality more
I love that his and Kanaya's themes remained unchanged, they were perfect from the start and really captured their characters
Heart is the STRONGEST muscle of your body. Ah, hussie! You big brain!
OH MY GOD ITS INDIGO HEIR!!!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOMESTUCK SONGS!!!!!
Damn straight. While I love when new tracks are introduced, I can't complain at all when they choose songs like this.
Prinny Ramza honestly!! I believe his official theme is horchestra something (I don’t remember the full name) but I mostly associate him with this song
@@librasuperstar3779 A jacked kid who quietly makes robotic limbs for his friends alone in his room.
People keeo saying the sos morse code is just at the end but it's literally happening throughout the whole song? Anyway I'm packing up to go save my favorite horse baby
No, that's just the music. The actual morse code only comes in later in the song
@@iguessmynamesriya7658 no like during the whole song the same erm..? beat so to speak is done throughout the whole song. thts just neat :>
@@cryptidseafog well yeah, but it's only explicitly "this is more code, pay attention" later on in when the synth sounds start. I'm not a music guy, but I do know one, so I'll try to remember to ask what erm is. Or just show him the song.
@@iguessmynamesriya7658 Out of curiosity. did you ever show him or ask him about the song?
@@IronicEquius nope and I never planned on it since he fucking hates all things homestuck
This is one of the best things about Pesterquest, the fact that it actively manages to make you like the characters that weren't as well-developed WAY more.
This has to be the biggest example of that. Equius used to be by far my least favourite of the original 12, and then my liking for him SKYROCKETED after playing through his routes.
This tbh. Like yeah it's out of character but it ends up being far more interesting to me than whatever was in the original comic.
he look2 2o happy 🥺
He’s sensitive and caring
I love his awkward smile, it’s so cute :)
The only 13-year-old boy with a widow’s peak.
Crashed three times while working on vids for seventh volume. Goddammit. Time to try something besides of Sony Vegas maybe?

The video is too STRONG.
@@luminantAegis HEhehehehe
hate to say it but... 69 likes nice
He wanted to see nep so badly and OMGG ITS SO SAAADDD
"Save our Souls"
*Cries*
I just need my girl Nepeta. I freaked out when he said we would see her, but then flippin that mystery figure. Ugh.
I honestly didnt much care for Equius before Pesterquest, but something about the way it presents him makes him much more endearing imo
hussie cut him off so early because he wanted to leave the characters most vital to the plotline..but it's such a shame since he had so much unused potential. i'm glad they brought him back for pesterquest
The SOS makes me so sad :,( Hes just a poor little man
I really love Equius, really wished that he had a bigger role
I recently started liking equius after homestuck came to my mind after years and now god damn this theme is fucking amazing
the beginning sounds like a little tune i made up as a kid and would play all the time :)
To this day I’m incredibly happy that Pesterquest did my favourite character justice :)
not even mad this is reused, it's by far his best theme.
This is actually pretty cool. During the song there would be spikes of barely noticeable static that really fits into the whole Void theme. And I know it’s not my headphones because these are practically brand new and I’ve had no issues with them so far.
Equius is super adorable, nobody can denied it uwu
EDIT: 2y later and Equius is _* still *_ super adorable, nobody can denied it ;33
Fun Fact: During Homestuck in Act 6 Intermission 3 and part two of Meenah's quest thing, when you become Horuss to get Rufioh's lusus, this song plays!
This was one of the best routes by far. It does everything at least ok, doesn't make any repeated mistakes like 3 line character development, and gave us more information about the character
Hot take: I don't hate Equius, He's actually in my top 5 favs.
how can one song contain such shallow pride, desperation, and loneliness all at once...
hearing this with headphones sounds funky
*coloUrs and mayhem is an underappreciated album, it has such good songs!*
I miss friendsim. I miss pesterquest. I miss getting to cry of happiness at a new volume and of how happy I felt
there is always the option of replaying/rewatching it!
@clownfern if I may offer my hopes, I do think that for Act 3 of Hiveswap, they'll make another visual novel!
I mean, in Pesterquest, the question of "What happened to the Reader's Friends, and their original universe?" is asked numerous times, but never answered! I think that, using their newly gained powers, they'll try to return to that original friendsim universe, and end up meeting the cast of Act 3 Hiveswap.
Always been proud to be a Sagittarius,
I love dis boy, no matter what fanon does to him.
Oh yeah! I agree
dude that morse code says sos is he okay
*no one is ok we're all damaged and dead inside no one is safe from it*
No, he was forced into a role by a fascist society. That's why they're called *blood castes.*
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
-happ- STRONK boi
*happ **_AND_** stronk boi!*
How the FUCK is Dirk more ripped than FUCKING EQUIUS? MR STRONG HONSE MAN????
Yessss I'm so glad Indigo Heir was used for this route
They really did my boy good in pesterquest. I couldn't have been happier.
this was released the same day as my birthday, best gift ever
edit: including the fact that equius is my patron troll
happy (extremely belated) birthday lol
He's mine too! (Also my highest kin, lmao.)
Best baby boy.
THEY USED INDIGO HEIR HELL YEAAAAAAAH
Equius' song has no right to be this good.
Nah he's got the bloodright
He's high enough
I've heard this time since 2017 AND FINALLY, SOME EQUIUS CONTENT AFTER SO MANY YEARSS A A A AAB
Man, he looks a bit choked up about something, i dunno
my poor buff son
You know, I was not as uncomfortable during this route as I thought I would be. I kinda hate Equius but after this route.. I have made peace with it
> WHY WOULD YOU HATE EQUIUS
> how could you hate equius
Did anyone figure out what the Morse (Horse) code is? Because there is DEFINITELY Morse code in that
I think it says "Save him" but I am not sure becose i know there is another song that uses morse code so maybe i was thinking of that one .
Yeah i just checked and it says "save him"
@@alexandramilos4477 it's just SOS. The one that says "rescue him" was Cobalt Thief, which was originally intended for serenity, and this one for the Mayor.
@@alexandramilos4477 Huh I thought it said "Save me".
@@just_d3spairity sorry my bad
his face is me waking up me mum and daf to tell them i pooped the bed
LMFAO
ive literally been binge listening to this for the past like month it was so cool to hear it in game
Still not over how this was originally a Dirk theme. It fits Equius incredibly.
I'm not sure what you mean
@@gamerule18 This song was originally composed and titled "Dirk's Dersite Dirge". However, it was eventually adopted as the song Indigo Heir on Land of Colours and Mayhem Universe A, and reused here as Equius's Theme.
I think the synthetic beats combined with a more refined violin and especially the SOS in Morse code fit Equius just as well if not better than Dirk!
Equius and Dirk have a ton in common so it makes sense
He's my baby uwu
A STRONG beat for a STRONG troll.
i usually prefer when they make new themes for each pesterquest route, and equius deserves more tracks, but fuck man indigo heir is like my favorite song, cant complain
this makes me unreasonably happy for some reason
i fucking love equius and i love this song
Bro why nobody talking about equius fricking gaming chair dude it's dope has hell.
Ahhh he's too cute im dying
Who ever get the Morse code he sends yeah I'm crying
The Morse code says SOS and I’m gonna cry
@@robinyourhouse2473 yeah me too
*instantly starts crying*
The morse code always makes me cry
Hi welcome to Pesterquest.
yea can I get uhhhh B O R G E R
Though at the end it has SOS beeping,indigo heir is still a bop
This definitely sounds better with headphones
The SOS near the end always makes me sort of sad u_u
Is that ONE OF MY FAVORITE AND SADDEST HOMESTUCK SONGS IN 2019!?
D --> *STRONG HORSE BOI*
Kahoot!: sinister edition
I looooove equius
you know I’m actually content that they drew him cute in the pesterquest sprites because they made him so ugly in the original comic lmao
First Alterniabound talksprites were standard but fine, Seek the Highblood talksprites were really hard on the eyes (every time I go back to that part I have to wonder if they were always that bad), and the glowup in PesterQuest is night and flippin day since the last set.
this is a very good song to use for equius
im glad
does anyone else here the invader zim theme and game of thrones no just me??? ok
Equius is literally the best character
For someone who had minimal interaction with anyone and barely any screen time and wasn't a 'main character' he had a hell of a lot more depth than some of the others like Jane or Dirk.
I honestly hate all of the alpha kids except roxy
@@anmspafan7855 that's a good opinion and also my opinion on the matter
An MSPA Fan They ere not given enough to development or major roles really to make them stand out from their Beta counterparts.
@@jasminguiza6227 Honestly, I hate how little they were utilized in the comic. It was like; "Hey, these are the four new kids in the post-scratch session! Okay, met them? Let's skip ahead! Whoops, now the end battle is like five pages away, we gotta get the plot moving, no time for character development!"
The Alpha kids were basically the human equivalent of the other half of the troll team, the only difference being that they went God-tier and provided firepower for Collide instead of dying in Murderstuck.
sweaty boy hhehe
i'm not a fan of Equius, but something about this music and his design is making me start to like the troll with my sign.
Y'all saw the poster of the back of a horse? Equius had good times on his hive
Idk abput pestzrsuest i only read homestuck but Equius is , in my opinion , quite a dramatic character and he makes me sad and i feel guilty for deeply disliking him
I love him, I love him so much, I will defend him forever.
reminds me of Child of Light
