tumblr, anyone?

I looked it up and it was just super boring.

I love homestuck. And it should go without saying, you'll find male fans.

For those who aren't in the know, it's at the moment a 6,000+ page online web comic about 4 friends who play a game and how the fate of humanity revolves around their performance in the game. During the course of their adventures they befriend several members of an alien race called trolls. For most people it's when the trolls get into the comic when it really becomes interesting and addictive to read.

Homestuck is no longer primarily driven by reader submitted commands, the author having taken full control of the story during Act 4. However, he admits to still drawing inspiration from the speculation and fanart of his fanbase.

Some people are really thrown off by the bizarre fan base. I'm personally not, but I've only interacted with one other fan, and that's the person who got me in to it. Some of you might actually like it if you gave it a chance, there's some RPG elements to it.

I enjoy the immense number of fan art available. For example:

I work at an anime con. I know the horror that are Homestucks.

Ugh gosh I hate Homestuck or whatever it's called. The story is dull and the characters are just so plain...odd and the cosplays are just terrible and even more strange...

Don't understand it's hype.

ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh.

I mean wtf is this ??

The animation is just so.... terrible....

Being self-aware negates any need for writing ability, apparently.

I also enjoy the chance to participate in bandwagon criticism while finding random images on tumblr.

That appears to be god tier status John dreaming while Davesprite looks on. Problem?

I will give you people all of the Colberts. ALL OF THEM!

Alright people I apologize for derailing the thread. Back on topic now though!

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

Also, smuppets in that image. Smuppets are creepy.

I have a passing familiarity with Homestuck, with a relative understanding of the characters and plot from secondhand sources, and while I have an understanding of Homestuck, I've never actually read it.

The problem people have with Homestuck is that many other fandoms have had negative experiences with the Homestuck fandom. That, and the fans explain the plot in the way that makes it seem convoluted and thus uninteresting. Also, weird porn. xD

And I had bad experiences with some Homestucks at work.

So yes, I admit that my general aversion of Homestuck is immature and somewhat childish, but it's due to immature and childish behavior from a portion of the fanbase.

You're cool though. And two of my best friends are Homestucks and are trying to get me to cosplay Eridan, which I might do because I'm a great fan despite them yet to finish Baldur's Gate II like they said they would . I don't hate Homestuck/s on principle, but I've had bad experiences with some people that has developed in me a knee-jerk reaction to it. And from what I understand, many people who share my opinion hold similar experiences.

In short, I'm a colossal dick that has let negative experiences cloud my judgement.

Nutella gets its own district and Homestuck is in exile under Sauron's leadership.

Although the Fitblr community is going to be a bit outraged to know that they've been left off the map.

Fitblr

why is that a word

[Shorty]

I don't make the rules.

That is what the EoFF staff room looks like.
Del is taking a nap.
Rantz is trying on his new sunglasses.
Wolf is in the corner in his suit of armor.
Psychitic somehow got stuck in a picture on the left.
The picture on the right is the secret entrance to Roogles gameroom.
Raistlin is trying on his new tophat.
Goldenboko next to him is tryig to escape.
Too bad for him Pike stole the key and is hiding it under the couch.
On that couch are Lockharted and Freya watching Shlupquack practice her baby breakdancing.
Finally MILF and Shorty are sitting on the backs of the couches contemplating what to draw on Del's face with markers.

[Shorty]

I would never.

I would, however, egg MILF on to do it so he is the one who gets in trouble.

No TESblr either

Also the Doctor Who province should be like three times as big.

Just wait until Game of Thrones starts up again. Hoo boy.
