some talk about... homestuck
2 years ago
Hey!
While I was away, I decided to take up reading the webcomic Homestuck for the umpteenth time. I've tried before... and I've basically been familiar with the fandom for ten years, but my teenage brain couldn't grasp the grandeur of what was going on in the story. It seemed impossible to comprehend all the terms, playing with time lines and the number of characters... Anyway, I thought I should leave the reading for better times.
And now those times have arrived. The webcomic is already out in full. I thoroughly enjoyed diving into this rambling narrative. Yes, I still think Homestuck is the best creation of the Internet. I mean it. Hussie is a genius.
Now I'm at the point where the reader is introduced to trolls. I hope my interest doesn't wane anytime soon (one of the reasons I don't draw any fanarts at all) because I've already come home and I'm going to take care of more important things.
I absolutely love every character here. They are all so special and goofy in their own way. You know, I was even thinking of a nickname, like in their messenger chat. You can write your own if you've do the same, haha (in confidence - my would be kittyMayhem хЗз or something... It's probably worth thinking about some more)
Honestly, I don't know if the Homestuck fandom is alive, but I generally don't care.
How do you feel about this fandom? Were you able to read it in its entirety? Share your opinions!

I have no regrets other than my teenage idiocy lol. I still know next to nothing about homestuck, but it brought me closer to a wonderful friend who gave me some of my favorite memories.
Hope you have a good time reading the webcomic :D
are you able to read it in the archive/another way that preserves the flash pages? so many of those are *so* important to my enjoyment, and there are a few walk around games that i replay pretty regularly, even when i’m not actively rereading it.
it just makes me really happy that people are still finding joy in it for the first time all these years later!! there’s still a bit of a fandom—i’m in a discord for it, and i follow some people on tumblr—but it definitely is quieter now. in any case, i hope you keep enjoying it for a long time to come! sorry for the long comment haha
I read it on the official website from my tablet. Sure, I miss the opportunity to enjoy flash games, but that's not something I care much about. I know there are separate programs on the computer with all the available assets, but for me the computer has become more of a workspace that I want to take a break from.
I'm glad the fandom is still alive and continuing to please! And I enjoy getting into the plot, even though it's still hard to understand at times hah x)
While I'm still in the process of reading (and may not have obviously reached the halfway point), the spirit of homestuck madness will stay with me haha
