Raidbooklet commentary, originally for YouTube

Why'd I call it Moonslayer? Well, I was looking for a cool edgy yet catchy little name to title this track while riffing off the Homestuck Music Team’s theme of titling tracks Moon/Sun + word that starts with S. Moonsetter is the name of the original track. Moonshatter and Sunsetter are the names of a couple of Toby Fox’s other Homestuck music contributions. Moonsweater is the name of a track on Homestuck Volume 10 by A Lunatic's Daydream. So you see what I mean. I considered Moonslammer, like Sunslammer by Beatfox, but that wasn't edgy enough for me. So I settled on Moonslayer. Yeah. "Moonslayer" brings up catastrophic, apocalyptic images of destroying the moon, but not just destroying the moon—slaying it, as though the moon were a living entity capable of being conquered. A spirit. A god or goddess, maybe. A constant observer of mankind. Something personified, and then killed. Very edgy. Absolutely perfect.

The following commentary is properly placed on this track's main release, Moonslayer.

Happy 4/13. Homestuck is getting old. I'm getting old, too. I will graduate from college and turn 22 this year. But my love of music, especially of music from Homestuck, will never get old. So here's a fun little remix of Toby Fox's "Moonsetter." Copious amounts of virtual distorted electric guitar, jazz piano, and intense rock drumming included. Enjoy.

For some blabbery on how I arrived at the name "Moonslayer," check out the extended description.
