@natalie if homestuck wasn’t already a landmine for you im jealous because ill never forget going to the first cosplay club meeting freshman year of college and all of us in a circle talking about past and future cosplays and as soon as I mention my Jade and Meenah cosplays I get cut off with the most over dramatic “no you don’t have to talk about it we’ve all been there homestuck was such a dark time” and a had to be like “well actually I’m still a fan I’m working on getting those fancy brainwave moving ears for a dogtier Jade“ (which I never ended up doing alas) but the way they shrunk back down and how awkward everything was after that smh…

actually similar stuff happened all the time at college but I guess that’s on me for going to an art school :P
