Homestuck holds a special place in my heart, even if I have many valid complaints and criticisms. Maybe it's that I got into it early in high school, when I was extra impressionable? Maybe it's how zoomed in at various points, I genuinely love the interactions between characters? My love and distaste play volleyball with each other when it's brought up, but I fully look forward to hearing your thoughts. I've loved everything else here so far after all. :)

This’ll be a trip

There are plenty of other characters who deserve their own write up at another time, but there are other matters to attend to tonight. 

Johnny Jhonny will be the last character write up for the night, and then it’ll be time for Homestuck

Well, it’s time to start reading Homestuck. Is there anything I’m forgetting?

Oh, that’s right!

That’s better

Homestuck Spoilers

I’m going into this mostly blind, and want to be as spoiler free as possible, but I’ve still picked up some things about the story here and there. Mostly it’s a lot of out of context details with no real significance to me:

• I kinda know what trolls are. Like a lot of people, my first exposure to Homestuck was seeing roving bands of troll cosplayers with unsealed gray body paint. I know that they’re genderless, but that’s about it. 
  
• I read the first few dozen pages of Homestuck once a couple years ago, so I know who John is, but that’s about all I remember. I never got out of John’s house, so I don’t think I really got into the meat of the story at all.
• I’ve seen people call Homestuck a modern creation myth, so I know there are some rather expansive themes to the overall story.
• I heard that the ending disappointed a lot of people.
• I can describe what a lot of characters look like based on fan art, but I don’t know who any of them are:
• There are the black and white wolf people with swords
• There’s a girl with dog ears
• There’s a guy with a blue shirt and a hammer
• There are two guys who wear awesome sunglasses and a lot of red
• There are a whole bunch of characters with a billiard ball theme
• One of the trolls has sunglasses and a walking stick, so I’m assuming they’re blind.

That’s just about all of the things I can be sure of. I picked up a lot of random tidbits on tumblr, but I have no idea what is and isn’t canon. Like I know Dave/Karkat is a popular ship (or at least it’s popular among the homestuckers I follow), but I don’t know who either of them are in the story, or if they actually have a romantic relationship.

Or with the trolls. If you showed me a police lineup of a bunch of troll characters, I couldn’t possibly tell you which ones were canon, and which ones were fan-made. Except for the one with the walking stick. I’ve seen a lot of fan art of that one, so I’m pretty sure she’s a real character.

in the distance can be heard a rending of the world, as the sleeping giant wakes, as its followers scramble from their lonely, forgotten vigils. it opens its mouth and intones a single word in a voice so deep it cracks the heavens. "HOMESTUCK."

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2009, is this young man’s birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name! 

So, what’d people call you for the first 12 years?

Come to think of it, that is closest thing to an official logo for Homestuck that I’ve ever seen, so safe to say that Sburb is Capital “I” Important.

I’ve never really had the inclination to make up dumb names like that, but then again, I didn’t have X-box live when I was a teenager.

Mostly I name my video game characters after myself, or if I’m online, I’ll go for webcomic characters. They’re usually obscure enough that I can actually use them without resorting to unnecessary accent marks or intentional misspellings. There are a thousand different ways to spell xxSephiirathxx, but you only need to know one way to spell RoyGreenhilt.

You have a variety of INTERESTS. You have a passion for REALLY TERRIBLE MOVIES.

As far as terrible movies go, Deep Impact and Mac and Me both check out, but Con Air is a national treasure! Even more so than National Treasure!

Here we go again. 

I don’t remember this running gag showing up in Bard Quest, but that was always the oddball among the MS Paint Adventures. Let’s see what’s in store for us this time.
