History Heartwarming / Homestuck

*** 10-01-12: We've breached the [[HolyShitQuotient two million mark.]]

* On the music side of things, [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/phantasmic-youngsters "Phantasmic Youngsters"]]. Such a happy song. And, if the multitude of comments on Website/YouTube are to be believed, will conjure images of the Kids and Trolls [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} having a fun happy picnic together]]. [[TrueCompanions Awwww!]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002880 Jade's Strife with Bec]], which is also a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMOA]]. GOOD DOG - BEST FRIEND.

** Also with CrowningMomentOfAwesome - she [[TakingTheBullet takes a fucking]] ''[[ColonyDrop meteor]]'' for John.

** Let's not forget, Bro slicing a fucking meteor in half just to buy Dave some more time, and sends his rocket board to rescue Dave from falling. Definitely counts as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome as well. Good Bro. Best guardian.

* The ending of [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004476 this log]]. The Fandom's reaction was somewhere in between [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Dawwwwwwwwwww]] and IKnewIt.

* The sequence of pages starting [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004698 here]] straddles the line between this and CrowningMomentOfFunny.

* Kanaya is [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005424 BACK.]] Clearly foreshadowed or not, if you didn't squee ([[CrowningMomentOfFunny and laugh]]) a little at this, YOU HAVE NO SOUL.

* When Aranea wishes Meenah luck in her plan to kill Lord English, Meenah replies, "Aw you're tha best Sekret. Cmere. 38*" Complete with [[CrowningMomentOfFunny an animated smooching motion done by Meenah,]] showing gratitude.

* Kurloz, despite being a creepy fuck, is still good friends with his former matespirit, helping her with her shipping wall and, it's implied, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny toking up on catnip with her.]]

* Jake looks at the fenestrated plane while the slow, dramatic-sounding part of "A Taste for Adventure" plays, sighing while he longingly imagines John and Jade smiling in the old clothes of young Poppop and Grandma, before being interrupted by the entrance of his sprite, who he is visibly joyful to see. It's adorable, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny even though the sprite is Erisolsprite]] and is giving him the finger.

* All the dialogue with the Tricksters (well, at least up until Dirk becomes one) is a mix of this, TastesLikeDiabetes, FunnyMoments, and a slight bit of horror. Even if the characters are solving their problems superficially, it almost feels like Homestuck is however fleetingly about Kids & Fun again.

** Hell, this whole conversation is just so nice to hear, from the guys who we last saw [[CrowningMomentOfFunny fighting over penis-charts.]]

* Vriska being (apparently) grateful for having met Aranea, a view that Aranea shares. The two share a hug... which Vriska [[CrowningMomentOfFunny immediately ruins by high-fiving Meenah]].
* Karkat trying his damnedest to console Terezi after Gamzee ditches her. Just to prove, in case there was any doubt, that underneath it all Karkat's [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold]] is ''massive''. That being said, it's promptly ruined a la the above, as Dave naturally has to pitch in with smartass remarks and [[FunnyMoments end up setting Karkat off on a rant about chairs]].

* John's, er, [[MegatonPunch "reunion"]] with Vriska is mostly [[FunnyMoments ball-bustingly ridiculous]], but the aftermath - especially in light of John's previously declining opinion of her - is surprisingly sweet.

** And in possibly the the strangest overlap with CrowningMomentOfFunny ever, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSoJvKFyWQg this video]] as well. Sing on, mirthful messiah.
** Crossing over with CrowningMomentOfFunny, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB4V6VW4PRA this video]] showing how Tavros thinks of Gamzee. It's completely adorable.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ7Wd2Z75Ew This comic dub]]. Dirk ends up seeming like the Alpha Kids' TeamDad. The caption for the Tumblr version (link in the video) makes it a bit of a CrowningMomentOfFunny, too.

** Oh, he knew about John. He knew he's the Heir of Breath, Hero of Prospit, and therefore ''an enemy''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVACqXeemyI This video]] (art by paperseverywhere) is very much this, with an added touch of TearJerker.

** Turns into FridgeHorror when you realize he's mind-controlling and manipulating her to help Lord English.

* Karkat and Gamzee [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005995 officially dubbed as moirails]] after the former calms down the latter with shoosh paps.
** What really stands out, is that ''[[PerpetualFrowner Karkat]]'', of all people, genuinely smiles for the first time, seeing that he is an often negative person, who usually [[HairTriggerTemper rages and screams constantly]].
** I think the absolute heartwarming of this needs to be put into perspective, for the past few months, we've had nothing but tragic events and character deaths, all just making the story we've been invested in seem pointless. And then, just when it seems the darkest, Karkat solves this problem without anyone dying.
** When he explains all this to John, Karkat says that he considers Gamzee and Kanaya to be his best friends.

*** Well, the pile they curled up in was made of decapitated robots, so technically he did both...

* [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005381 Happy Aradia is back!]] The smile from her transformation should have given us a hint, but... still, it's nice seeing her back to her pre-death self, all cheerful and fun. She actually sounds like Jade, in a way.
** Even more so with [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005392 this page.]] For having to put up with death and the trauma of sGrub as long as she did, it's nice to see her happy and determined to stay alive.

** It might have been even better if it was shown how the trolls worked together with each other and Jack to learn about teamwork and friendship, but, understandably, Andrew's in a bit of a hurry to wrap the Troll arc up and get back to the kids.

* Jade is more than happy to keep Calliope company while she's dead. [[TearJerker Now if only she remembered that she's dead.]]
** As it turns out, this was a whole new instance of Jade, who was merely asleep.

* When we next see Vriska and Meenah, Meenah is braiding Vriska's hair and listening to her ancestor-related troubles.
** It was also pretty heartwarming when Meenah basically said she wouldn't think less of Vriska just because Vriska didn't want to go through with their big ghost army plan anymore. She compares it to her decision to abandon her throne because becoming empress would have made her miserable.

** On the other hand, Horuss and Meulin's moiraillegiance doesn't seem to be particularly healthy for either one of the,, with Meulin essentially telling Horuss to just always be happy no matter what, even when holding back his feelings cause him physical pain. It seems like the two are just mindlessly copying their dancestors in an attempt to be as happy as Nepeta and Equius are, without thinking about how unsuited they are for each other.
*** That brought down the mood...

* Dirk deals a one-two punch of heartwarming, by saying that, rather than being disappointed in her for drinking again, he is proud of Roxy and considers her the true leader of the Nobles, and that he loves her.
** And by "loves her," he ''could'' mean "as a moirail," but the fact that he doesn't deny ''romantic'' love until after he makes that statement means that his true feelings remain up for debate.
*** He loves her, but denied in that way because he doesn't want her to get the wrong idea which makes it very heartwarming and sad. Because on the one hand, Roxy is very much loved by Dirk, but on the other hand not in the way she's been wanting.
** In fact while he feels she deserves to be loved, he can't do it for her cause he wouldn't be true to himself, but he greatly respects her and feels she does deserve it. However, he would be betraying himself.

** -->[[color:#f2a400:DIRK: She needs to come home.]]
** One reader pointed out that this is the ''very first time Dirk has touched another human.''
*** The same could be said for Roxy, even though she's unconscious at the time.
*** He's mentioned retrieving her from the Furthest Ring before, so he's probably touched her before.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006386 [S] Roxy: Sleepwalk]] shows that Nepeta and Equius (alternate timeline or not) have found peace in the afterlife.
** Which makes the [[PlayerPunch Reader Punch]] in [S] Caliborn: Enter all more [[TearJerker painful]].

** Yeah...still pretty creepy though.

* John finds Dad alive and unharmed. It's an alternate version of Dad, though, but he still recognizes John. As ''his'' dad.

** The music throughout the video is also fantastic: [[AwesomeMusic/Homestuck "Ascend" from Volume 10]], a beautiful song which simultaneously celebrates the birth of a new world and conveys a sense of relief at the long journey finally being over.

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=009919 The back side of Dave's note to Jade.]] It's only two words but it says a lot.

* The bit where Vriska talks about finding Mindfang's journal. "It really felt like she wrote it just for me, like she was talking right to me and telling me how to 8e like her."

** The ultimate fate of WV is probably the best part. After all the trauma and possible alternate timeline deaths the poor guy has been through, he finally gets to settle down and be the Mayor of Can Town. Only this time, Can Town is ''real''. Not a pretend city with little stacks of cans, not a coping method, not a fantasy, but a real and [[SceneryPorn beautiful]] populated by carapacians.
