here's the full timeline:

- i'm a 13yo in 8th grade

- discover undertale via a megalovania ytpmv

- become obsessed with it

- inevitably hear about homestuck because of the way i obsessed over every little detail about the game and its creation, don't really think much of it at the time though

- become best friends with the two quote unquote "weird girls" in my class because of undertale

- they're into homestuck

- start to be into hometuck, too

- become obsessed with vriska semi-jokingly

- watch a lot of animatics and comic dubs (terepy the movie, dokidoki schoolstuck, salt and pepper diner, etc.)

- read the whole thing the following summer

yeah, that's pretty much it lol. they were also really into stuff like bleach, dmmd, hetalia, yaoi in general, stuff like that. undertale and homestuck were like the strange overlap between their way of life and mine lol. i miss them a lot though. they were, after all, my best friends.
