to preface this, I want to say that i am extremely excited about all of the new stuff going on with Homestuck. it's a special interest that's been with me for half my life and will probably continue to be there for the rest of it, and I genuinely believe that there has never been a better time to get into Homestuck.
that said... hooooly shit there's so much going on lmfao. i checked out the discord server and immediately just felt kind of a wave of executive dysfunction. the rerelease is so exciting but it's off the back of like five other huge things and i'm a little bit dying about it all lmfao
thankfully as a time player i can ride on the fact that this'll be absolutely delightful to retrospect about for the next fifty years. gonna have SO much retroactive enjoyment of this time of my life
but as the title asks, anyone else really overwhelmed right now?
the epilogues are the best part of homestuck
i am excited for the animated pilot, and being a newer (got into hs about 2 years ago) fan having other newer fans around will be compared to everyone being hella older than me, but im also worried about a sudden flood of new people because of the personal, selfish reason that i just dont want things to change, thanks to homestuck being a kind of fandom oasis for me (alive enough to be rather active, dead enough to not be overwhelmingly big)
that thing you said? wild. probably.
I'm possibly spending a bit too much time on here? Steering clear of Discord for now, as that place seems to be second only to Xitter for detonating drama mines. I started reading something ridiculous like 12 different Homestuck stories in various media, and now I'm struggling to keep them seperate in my head!
