So, I did! I tried to evoke the same feelings as the [[album:homestuck-for-the-holidays]] cover without seeming too derivative, so I had the kids take a "backseat" and have a huge cruxite tree with eponymous grist hanging from it be center stage. The result: a peaceful and quiet scene in LOFAF, representing the best of the Gristmas season. (There are four emotes hidden throughout the image. Good luck finding them!)

Musical inspiration strikes! The melody always struck me from the beginning as rather festive-feeling, even if it didn't use the standard musical tropes for Christmas music, so I took this idea and set out to make the most Christmassy electronic music I could make. The lyrics also only rather obliquely reference Homestuck; it's never mentioned by name, I chose the most mild-sounding aspects of the story to directly reference, and not once is conksuck or shit lets be santa dropped. But most importantly, the lyrics are for you, dear Homestuck reader, as a reminder that though the year has come to a close, though the act is ending, the future still holds many more in store for you.
