I see some older Homestucks regard new fans in an apprehensive Get Off My Lawn sort of way but I like seeing everybody in the grass personally. As much as I love the story I don't spend as much time working on stuff related to it as I used to, so it's nice seeing the party continue under the guidance of these rambunctious strangers
