in 2011, i was in what i'd soon decide was my last year of high school and was an avid brony. for those who don't remember such archaic times: brony fandom and homestuck fandom were kissing with tongue all the time. couldn't keep em off of each other. one of the namefriends from a 4chan alternative i used tried to get me to read it and i didn't. because i'm an asshole. but eventually, a real-life friend of mine got into it, said the word "vriska" to me and i didn't know what "vriska is my waifu" - the first thing i ever knew about homestuck, that my childhood friend was deeply in love with vriska serket - even meant, and figuring out what that meant was what convinced me to finally read it. and now i feel the same way.
