Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Homestuck's song Black are cryptic and ominous, with the repeated refrain of "I'll kill you" sending shivers down your spine. However, there is a deeper meaning to be found in the reference to the "Midnight Crew." In the webcomic Homestuck, the Midnight Crew is a group of four gangsters who operate in the post-apocalyptic universe. The group consists of Diamonds Droog, Hearts Boxcars, Spades Slick, and Clubs Deuce. Each member is based on a playing card suit and has their own unique personality and abilities. They are known for their ruthlessness and ability to get the job done, no matter what it takes.


When the lyrics say "Make her a member of the Midnight Crew," it is unclear who the "her" is referring to. However, it could be interpreted as an invitation to join the Midnight Crew and become a part of their dangerous, underground lifestyle. Alternatively, it could be seen as a threat, implying that if someone doesn't comply with the singer's wishes, they will suffer the same fate as those who have crossed the Midnight Crew.


Overall, the lyrics to Black are dark and foreboding, hinting at violence, danger, and a hidden underworld lurking just beneath the surface. The repetition of the lyrics and the sinister tone of the song create a palpable sense of unease that lingers even after the music has ended.

So basically

Jack noir means black jack

And

“An ace is the highest card, but it can also function as the lowest in completing a straight. ... An ace-high straight flush is called a royal flush and it cannot be beaten”

“It cannot be beaten”

My fucking god hussie



@PlantChriss

Anyone who thinks Megalovania is Toby's best song clearly hasn't heard this song.

EDIT: Guys I get it, you like Oppa Toby Style. This comment is 6 years old, it literally predates that song’s existence.














Also you’re all still wrong because Killer Queen exists

You should consider giving the comic a read, then, if you haven't already :)
(I know this comment is three months old, I'm sorry if I'm being a bother or something, I honestly try not to be)

Just go to mspaintadventures(dot)com and start reading if you're interested :D this song is actually used in the comic itself, though not near the beginning. Act three or four, maybe? I'm not sure.



Although to be honest with what's happening lately in Homestuck, I'm not completely sure that I necessarily want to try getting someone into it when [REDACTED] is not yet resolved... >.>

Anyway, have a nice day, even if you never read this or the comic! ^.^

All because he didn't want to wear a fucking hat.

@spookstermcbone2772

He probably hates tf2.

@FellowHaibane

No harlequin hat

@erikmikalkorstad1359

Um, Kanaya, did you even see that God awful thing? It's completely understandable that he wanted to kill whoever tried to force him to wear the fucking thing.

oh so when jack goes postal it's considered "genocidal" and "evil" but when I do it after getting employed at my local McDonalds it's considered "genocidal" and "evil"
