+    <b>[S] ACT 7</b>
+
+    The song is by [[artist:clark-powell|Clark Powell]], and extended by [[artist:toby-fox|Toby Fox]]. It's available here on bandcamp. It was originally featured in Clark's album, [[album:symphony-impossible-to-play|Symphony Impossible to Play]].
+
+    Today marks exactly seven years from the day Homestuck began. And Act 7's single-page installment marks the end of the story. Seven acts in seven years, to finish a sprawling "creation myth about kids in houses," as I would describe it for those who asked what my next project was about before I started it. What is there to say about this ending? The short and funny answer is, Homestuck has finally completed its long journey over the rainbow, and become the anime it was always meant to be. The longer and less funny answer will need some reflection. Maybe some day I will say some things about it. For now, I will leave you to draw your own conclusions.
+
+    The animation itself had a fairly complicated production history. I actually storyboarded it about four years ago. In fact, some of the shots I visualized before I even began Homestuck. I'd like to extend very special thanks to [[artist:angela-sham|Angela Sham]], who took the reins on the animation while it was in progress, and worked with me closely on it for about a year until it was done. She's a great animator, and I'm quite excited that she's continuing to work with us on the game.
+
+    It probably goes without saying, but ending this story is a personally significant moment as well. I could say more about this too, but I'd rather not fill the news section with too many words today. For now, all that's left to do is express some appreciation. Whether you've been here from the beginning, hopped on board somewhere along the way, or only heard of it last week and made an insane dash through the archive to catch up in time for the conclusion, I mean this sincerely:
+
+    <img inline width="420" src="media/misc/thanksforplaying.jpg" alt="Thanks for playing.">
+
+    Edit: one more thing. If you're curious about whether there will be anything resembling an epilogue to this ending, yes, I've been thinking about that for some time. It'll take a while to produce though, whatever specific form it ends up taking. Working on [[album:s-collide|Collide]] took months, and came right down to the wire. I've got more time now though obviously. But that said, I'm not in a huge hurry at this point. Keep an eye out here for developments. There should be plenty of other news in coming months too.

+    The final Homestuck album Volume 10 has been released. More fantastic music by many familiar names who have contributed to the comic over the years. Thanks to all who came together to make this. It's a great way to cap off an impressive discography, now standing at 27 albums.
+
+    Since 4/13 I have been preoccupied with a wide variety of projects. Some are related to Homestuck, some are not. And yet others are not so easy to categorize. I have kept busy, and do not feel there is much to report yet. But there probably will be over the next couple of months. Stay tuned, and please enjoy listening to some very good songs.

([1:29](https://youtu.be/QbsXLDNPvNc?t=89)) It's from a song recorded exactly 100 years prior to Homestuck. [[artist:toby-fox|Toby]] slapped it on the beginning of his remix and I thought "cool" and rolled with it, but it wasn't until now I found out where it was from. Maybe he mentioned it to me once and I was like pfffff, not remembering THAT fact, nice try. This is a good example of how the music strongly influences how I put together the animations.

     *Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, agents of Prospit and Derse. They once fought on the battlefield as their respective nemeses, only to be united by a common epiphany - the truth behind the Ultimate Riddle. Gazing upon the Skaian clouds, the secrets of the past, present, and future are now well guarded by these strange sentinels who spread enlightenment through their cryptic music and dance. Together, they hope their songs may be a beacon to all those who undertake the Riddle.*

+    <b>Two Albums</b>
+
+    [[album:homestuck-vol-7|Homestuck Volume 7: At the Price of Oblivion]], and... a solo album by Michael Guy Bowman called Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido
+
+    On the solo album: [[artist:michael-guy-bowman|M.G. Bowman]] has done a lot to shape the sound of Homestuck. Among his contributions were [[Explore]] and [[Sburban Jungle]] (end of acts 2 and 3 music). He is also a mastermind behind the ambitious [Hare Force One](https://web.archive.org/web/20110716223444/http://www.iambowman.com/hareforceone/) project (people ship Con Air bunnies to each other all over the globe). For his album, he has created two characters whose names are featured in the title. They exist somewhere in the Homestuck universe, playing their own session, and each song captures something about their adventure. See his [website](https://web.archive.org/web/20110630045842/http://www.iambowman.com/) for what he has to say about it personally. I think it's a really fun and creative album with a fantastic sound.
+
+    [[artist:tavia-morra|Tavia Morra]] and [[artist:richard-gung|Richard Gung]], both art team contributors, worked on the art for this album together. Tavia and Michael themselves actually [[track:chain-of-prospit|dress up as the characters]] and [[track:beta-version|pose in the album graphics]]. These are serious entertainers, folks.

Clearly it was a significant undertaking, and it wouldn't have been possible without so many great artists enthusiastically collaborating on it for months. Also thanks to [[artist:seth-peelle|Seth]], [[artist:toby-fox|Toby]], [[artist:malcolm-brown|Malcolm]] and [[artist:tensei|Joren]] for the awesome music. It's currently available on bandcamp.

+    Another [New Year's Eve](https://www.homestuck.com/story/3220) gone by, another [ball dropped](https://www.homestuck.com/story/4413).
+
+    Here is [[artist:mark-j-hadley|Mark Hadley's]] single, Song of Skaia. It's good! Hadley is responsible for such HS songs as [[Harlequin]] and [[track:blackest-heart|Blackest heart]].
+
+    You might have noticed I've scaled back the frequency of music releases somewhat. It was becoming sort of intense getting one or more albums ready for release every month. It also did start to feel like *maybe* just a little bit too much music coming at you all the time. I'd like to make sure the novelty of these doesn't deteriorate too quickly. Hence a single release seemed like a nice way to mix it up for now. I would expect albums to come out closer to every two months from now on.
+
+    On that note, I'll make an announcement about plans for the next album shortly. Preemptive tl;dr - it will be a contest. Details soon.
