okay fine here is a collection of moments i love from LRHS
hey guys Arc did it again, she wrote so much her arm got a little messed up, so while I am trying very hard not to stress it more, I scrobbled through a chunk of LRHS to point out moments I like. These are vaguely in order, and all should have timestamps to the relevant part.
This is just Beta Kids/Trolls, I will do the Alpha Kids next because they are stone cold fucking perfection.
Terezi's dumb coin flip with the Narrator having fun too. SHE'S BLIND, REMEMBER?!
This is a small joke, but I love Terezi's delivery here, the AA joke.
This whole segment of Sollux talking to Terezi and then having to deal with Karkat's bullshit. The Sollux VA is honestly so fucking good it's ridiculous. KK DO NOT RUN THAT CODE!
KARKAT AND VRISKA, WHEN KARKAT GOES OFF ON ROMANCE FOR SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS. Oh my god. Also Vriska's VA is one of the many that puts in the fucking work and never had a bad line read, jesus fuck.
Okay one of my favorite things in LRHS is the Hivebent Narrator, because they do this little trick where every time they introduce a troll, they emulate that troll's way of speaking for just a moment. Kanaya is my fave.
Kanaya having to deal with Eridan's shit. 1. how the fuck is the Kanaya VA so consistently fucking excellent, 2. HOW THE FUCK DOES THE ERIDAN VA DO THAT WITH THEIR MOUTH? HOW.
Hussie-The-Character stuck in the fucking attic, bc Michael Guy Bowman did an incredible job honestly.
Rose and Kanaya's 16th conversation. I.... honestly cannot get over the mad-on chemistry here. It's so good. Rose's VA frankly has chemistry with everyone, it's magic.
I need to give more props to Terezi, because what a fucking performance. Giving 100% all the time. Dave at the LOHAC Stock Exchange and Terezi bugging him, love it.
Okay enough bulletpoints for a moment because
THE FUCKING FRUITY RUMPUS ASSHOLE FACTORY MEMO. LEGENDARY.
This one is long and runs to the end of the video and it's just..... amazing. There's some shit that is delicious in hindsight, like the fact Karkat and Dave wind up together, like that does genuinely make the whole thing 10x funnier, but.
TG: not cool
TG: luring me into your cyber boobytrap with shitty clip art who told you my weakness
CG: IT'LL WORK, WON'T IT?
TG: obviously
This is why Karkat is a good leader.
EB: what's so different about your romance?
EB: what's a quadrant? how many do you have?
TG: john god dammit stop embarrassing us
TG: first of all weve got to be on record here as not giving a shit about that
TG: second obviously theres gonna be 4 quadrants come on
Dave's exasperation with John being kind of a dumbass, incredible
also i'm sorry but karkat and dave laying into each other at 29:30 is MY LIFE
TG: oh god stop talking about my lips thats the second time
CG: OH RIGHT, THE BIZARRE HUMAN ANATHEMA OF INCEST, I FORGOT.
TG: oh my fucking god
TG: please let this conversation not be taking place
Rose vs Eridan, jesus fucking christ. "Consider this your first lesson in showmanship." Rose is INCREDIBLE, and Eridan hateflirting with literally everyone is my fave running joke.
honestly the above convo continues directly into Rose talking to Aradia and Nepeta, and honestly ROSE IS SO FUCKING GOOD SHE HAS MAD FUCKING CHEMISTRY WITH EVERYONE
Rose's goodbye to Jaspersprite, fucking end me, i tear up every fucking time, christ. This is a perfect combination of voice acting and music. Godddddddammit.
On the opposite emotional spectrum: Dave vs Equius. Equius rapping. Fuck.
Equius is a better rapper/slam poet than Dave by far.
what if i just collect every conversation someone has with rose??? here is rose hasslin her brother.
holy fuck this conversation between karkat and jade
look this is where I'm going to go off on how good the Karkat VA is. they, like Rose's VA, read EVERY LINE like an individual unit. there is thought into every single delivery, and it's DELIGHTFUL. they make some hilarious choices, like I cackle out loud at "PLEASE GO ON, I AM LISTENING TO YOUR PROBLEM" every time.
"NOW, TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS" i'm fucking crying, i love karkat, he's a fucking bitch and i love him SO MUCH.
the Karkat VA has more lines than every single other person in the fucking story, and they fucking BRING IT.
Karkat, Feferi, and Sollux. I love them all. I love Sollux and Karkat's friendship.
I keep going on about karkat but its hard not to, they have incredible chemistry with everyone. I have narrowed down my Favorite moment of Karkat's and its this one.
Karkat and Eridan. Karkat has just lost his best fucking friend, and he goes The Fuck Off on Eridan and it's incredible. For all of Karkat's big talk, he's not a very violent person, so seeing him actually truly furious is amazing.
Dave and Aradia, because I...... love Aradia. I think Aradia is the best troll actually? Whoops. (Also the Dave VA can be a little inconsistent, but this log is VERY fucking good)
THIS IS A SMALL MOMENT BUT
look
This fucking moment, when the Beta Kids' narrator hands off to the Trolls' narrator, and they get to talk about Aradia as she finally feels fully alive, it GIVES ME EMOTIONS
another small moment, Jade is hilarious: "yeah, youre never gonna read this are you" fucking CHRIST
DAVE AND ROSE DAVE AND ROSE DAVE AND ROSE
okay i'm done for now. be back with Act 6 moments bc its the best act
