Google-ing something truly is a skill. Some people are much better and faster at finding more accurate results than others.
my hot take about homestuck is that describing the plot is incredibly easy (several others have done this, so i won’t on this post), it’s the STRUCTURE of homestuck that’s impossible to explain simply
and THATS why homestuck references are the most batshit confusing things ever. because they aren’t about the fairly simple plot, theyre about the weird amalgamation of computer coding, chess, billards, zodiacs, fucking LUCKY CHARMS, etc that make up the building blocks of the background elements that barely have anything to do with the core plot
it’s one thing to say homestuck is about 4 friends that play a game at the end of the world to try and design a new world, it’s another to explain why betty crocker is a pisces alien fish dictator that takes the place of the black queen in the third intergalactic chess game of the series
Fun fact since the Homestuck Beta is all flashes you can just open them up and they're vector art so you can blow it up to whatever size you want. here's 4k beta john for the 13th anniversary
Fellas, if your game has:
A Simple Style
An Emphasis on Building
Esoteric Crafting Recipes
A Leveling/Enchanting System
Traveling Through Different Dimensions
A Meta Narrative
And Frog Breeding
Then that's not your game, that's Homestuck
think it's a good time to bring this gif back
me, two months ago: man it’s a shame I didn’t get into homestuck when it was still updating, I feel like I missed out on a true homestuck experience
me now, about two seconds from going feral while waiting for an upd8:
THAT YOU ARE
DAMN INTELLIGENT
VALUABLE AS HELL AND NOT THE LEAST BIT WORTHLESS
SUPER FUCKING LOVED
EXTREMELY GOD DAMN INTERESTING
NOT TO MENTION A HOT PIECE OF ASS
AND THAT ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU OTHERWISE IS A PIECE OF SHIT. KEEP BEING AWESOME, DON’T LET THE DOUCHE BAGS GET YOU DOWN, AND REMEMBER THAT I MOTHERFUCKING LOVE YOU.
