Usagi Buzinkai, composer of Homestuck’s “Doctor” as well as many other popular tracks that helped shape so many young people’s lives passed away several days ago.
Usagi was an asexual trans woman in the process of coming out before she died and we cannot let her passing erase her identity.

George Buzinkai passed away yesterday. Buzinkai was a member of the Homestuck Music Team, and scored several animations with songs like Explore
Showtime
Endless Climb
And, most importantly, Doctor, the most popular and remixed track in Homestuck, and the unofficial theme of the series
Buzinkai was one of the most important people to Homestuck’s success, right up there with Toby Fox and Hussie himself. He had been working on a video game
i’ve seen a lot of people (including me) make the mistake of assuming buzinkai was a man, so let it be known that all of this iconic homestuck music was in fact made by a trans woman. rest in peace.
I went through her Reddit posts and confirmed this to be true. She was a trans lady, though she never got to be completely out during her lifetime. Probably why not a lot of people were aware of it. She wrote some incredible tracks and scored one of the internet’s most iconic webcomics, having a hand in shaping fandom as we know it today.
