About Me

Yo. So, this is basically going to be a blog where I’m going to embark upon the monumentous task of reading and liveblogging the ENTIRETY of Homestuck. Why? For shits and giggles. Fans might hopefully get a sense of sadistic pleasure out of watching me blunder through this unknown territory almost completely blind, perhaps. This blog, just like the comic itself, is something I’m going to be figuring out as I go along. As an introduction, I’ll start with the limited things I do know about Homestuck:

- I know that one of the reasons why I decided to read it is because seemingly most of the fandoms I’m in seem to have overlap. Which, reasonably, leads me to believe that if many fans of Undertale and Steven Universe also like Homestuck, I might too. Which leads me to my next bullet.

- I know that Toby Fox, before he made Undertale and ruined my life, wrote music for Homestuck. I’m expecting great things for the soundtrack. Which leads me to my next bullet.

- I know that Megalovania was in Homestuck before Undertale, I’ve listened to that version, pretty dope.

- I know that the art in Homestuck is supposed to be kind of, I don’t know, lovably shitty? This is from the few glances I’ve seen.

- I know that Homestuck is real fuckin long. Just how long, I don’t know, but definitely real fuckin long, yo.

- I know that, in addition to being long, Homestuck is also confusing and many people die. I think.

- I know that Homestuck just ended after a very long time, and people are angry about it or something.

- I know that Homestuck is separated into “acts,” which I guess must be like chapters. I will probably be organizing this blog by act.

- I know that Homestuck fans are referred to as “homestucks” and that they all hate Homestuck. I’ve seen many posts shitting somehow on Homestuck and then comments saying “take a shot every time a homestuck reblogs this,” which brings me to my next bullet.

- I know that the internet hates homestucks. I can probably make a few assumptions as to why.

- I know that there are alien people who have grey skin and horns that look like candy corn called “trolls.”

And yeah, that’s it. I don’t know anything about the plot, I don’t have anything spoiled for me, and I don’t know what the hell I’m about to get myself into. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, FOR THE RECORD. Seriously, don’t tell me ANYTHING. It will be way more fun for everyone that way.

So, I’ll be starting this whole shindig soon, and I look forward to it. Feel free to send me asks if you have any questions.

(Oh yeah, and as for my icon? I literally Googled “confused homestuck” and scrolled through the images looking for something suitably shitposty. I have no idea who that dude is. Guess I’ll find out soon.)

Alright, I’m going to go ahead and start on act one. Let’s get this shitshow on the road.

According to google, homestuck is on a website called “mspaintadventures?” Does this mean he draws the whole thing in ms paint? That’s fucking hilarious.

Wow, okay. Here we are.
first things first, i guess my assumption about the art was right. lovably shitty. it’s perfect. it definitely does look like it was drawn in ms paint, which excites me.
why doesn’t this kid have any arms??? is that his style?... — Wow, okay. Here we are.
first things first, i guess my assumption about the art was right. lovably shitty. it’s perfect. it definitely does look like it was drawn in ms paint, which excites me.
why doesn’t this kid have any arms??? is that his style? kind of like a lovably shitty chibi art style, i can totally dig it.
so we’re starting with a normal human kid, who looks very stereotypically nerdy and preteen. he looks like my icon, maybe they’re the same person, maybe not. i’m going to assume that april 13, 2009 is very significant date. since his shirt and that poster are the only things colored, i can assume they’re significant, too.
it also looks like the comic progresses in a sort of 4chan-esque command style? neat.

is this the caliber of humor we’re dealing with here?
also, looks like the comic has animation, which i did definitely expect.
i love his stupid teeth, by the way. and his shirt reminds me of ghostbusters, which is probably intentional.

wow. john egbert. that is literally the most stereotypically nerdy preteen name i could even think of. that is the name of the dweeb from the sitcom who always gets shoved into lockers. i’m here for you, buddy.

…and this is his room. let’s take a moment to process this.
the actual black and white pictures used for the movie posters threw me off a bit, i didn’t expect actual images. i see that my ghostbusters prediction was correct. if those are all supposed to be terrible movies, i haven’t seen any of them, which i guess is a good thing.
i like the ghost bedspread, goes with his ghost tshirt. i see that the style here is to only color a few things in a picture at any given time.
what’s with the random capitalization? is that just a style thing too, or is it supposed to emphasize just what his interests are- or, it might be an example of Chekov’s skill, i’m calling it now.
also, why is there a hammer there.

Yo, I have a few hours before I have to go to work, so I’m going to start liveblogging again. While I should be writing my AP Literature essay, I’m not going to, so

also: pooplord, how charming. this is about right for my maturity level most of the time.
wait, does this comic break the fourth wall? is it aware of the presence of an omnipotent observer? is it interactive???

i love how as soon as the reader notices that the character doesn’t have any arms, they make a gag about it.

…what? he does have arms, they’re just not visible? you lied to me. i trusted you and you deceived me like this.
fake arms. a gag on top of the first gag. gagception.
what the fuck is a sylladex

i like the archetype of only the nerdiest kids alive liking old-school magic tricks. you do you john. i have the feeling that these items will be significant later, otherwise why would he so specifically point them out.
i would like a copy of colonel sassacre’s daunting text of magical frivolity and practical japery. it’s like if sans wrote a book and papyrus wrote the title.
