The Promised Homestuck Post

I promised I would write about my opinion on Homestuck a while ago. I made the promise before I realized that there are more interesting things to do than writing about Homestuck all day. These things include looking for Fanart of Homestuck, Reading Homestuck Askblogs and re-reading Homestuck. (And reading fluffy Homestuck AUs. OH Gog so out of character, it's all homestuck's fault)

But yeah, a promise is a promise.

First of all I'd like to thank The Rambler once again for making me read the amazing webcomic/game thing that is Homestuck! Thank you!

Anyways, Homestuck starts out a bit boring, with John just running around doing random stuff, but it gets way better. Once Sburbs gets installed it gets really interesting and after the trolls are introduced it will become part of your soul. Homestuck will infiltrate everything. Zodiac signs, colors, trolls, irony; anything you can think of will now be related to Homestuck, at least that's what happened to me (I am now proud over being a Libra! Yay! (even though I'm like one minute away from being a Virgo but Kanaya is cool too so it's fine)

Terezi. The LIBRA troll. Awesome.

This might have been annoying if not for the fact that Homestuck is really really really awesome! You might've noticed how at least half of my blog posts are Homestuck-related lately so yeah, I'm addicted.

So what's so great about Homestuck? I am tempted to say everything but that would be a stupid answer. The story is really incredible. It's a bit complicated but really well made and you can tell the author really plans his stories, but despite having a rather serious plot it's still really funny and crazy awesome so you'll be entertained even when you're really confused. Mood Whiplashes are very common but it's part of Homestuck's charm.

Another awesome thing about Homestuck is the cast. So. Much. AWESOME! So many lovable characters! Terezi is just awesome! I've dedicated my Display Picture and Font on MSN to her! I haven't had a display picture that isn't a cat in like forever! Since the first moment she showed up I knew she was going to be an awesome character and I was totally right!  Oh, and Tavros is just so pathetic and pitiful in such a lovable way, the poor thing. And Karkat is awesome and Rose and Kanaya and Sollux and John and Dave and Nepeta and everyone! (Well almost, I don't like the fish people. Part of it is discrimination against fish but I don't really like their personalities either)

They're actually called sea dwellers and are actually royalty but I don't care, they're just fish people to me.

But yeah if you haven't read Homestuck yet you really should. Not just because I am sort of obsessed with it at the moment but also because, as I've mentioned quite a few times in this post, it's incredibly awesome. Read it and you won't regret it!

I'm up to date with homestuck

And it feels sort of empty.

I mean it's nice to be able to browse the wiki without worrying about spoilers and knowing that your knowledge of homestuck is as god as anyones but, well, homestuck is fun! Having thousands or at least hundreds of pages of fun stuff to read is nice, having to wait for an update every day and reading about 3 pages each day is less fun, at least I think so. I'll write yet another homestuck post later just like The Rambler did but I'm tired today so you'll have to wait.

ANOTHER Homestuck post

And there's nothing saying there won't be yet another one. I haven't played Homestuck since Saturday (feels like forever) since I am waiting for The Rambler to catch up (she's at page 4900-something now while I am at page 5350) and also because [SPOILER IN WHITE] I don't want poor Nepeta to die, she's too cute to die! Ug [SPOILER END]

The new gameplay parts are really fun. You can walk around and talk to people and do stuff (the parts often called Alterniabound) , which is even more fun now that plot relevant stuff is in the game parts. Quite different from the games in the beginning of Homestuck I must say. It gets continuously m ore awesome despite being awesome all along (or well, at least after Sburbs is installed).

On another note I really like Vriska, sort of. I feel like punching her pretty much every time she does something but I don't know, I still want to imitate her writing quirk and draw her and stuff. I guess Love It or Hate It Characters aren't necessarily a question of or. There's probably a trope for that too. I really like that hair flip thing she does but that's sort of unrelated.

Since I can't (or well, won't) read Homestuck for a while I instead spend my time talking about it (which fails because I want to talk about recent events and that would spoil stuff for my friends), searching for pictures on the internet or replaying/reading my favorite parts if I can find a link to them. It's not as fun as homestuck but it's still pretty fun.
