did homestuck impact yall too in your everyday life

if you talk to me long enough it's very clear homestuck was a foundational piece of media for me. it's infected me. i've had close friends assume my last name was lalonde because my instagram name is still homestuck themed. i refuse to delete my cosplay pics from 2013 no matter how cringe or how bad the makeup was- if you don't love me at my just learning to do makeup via cosplay you don't deserve me at my good at eyeliner

OH MY GOD i forgot a huge part of how i learned to draw was from drawing homestuck characters 24/7 in middle school and learned to sew making cosplays. dawg i ended up going to uni for fashion design. i think i owe everything to homestuck wtf

homestuck is my longest lasting interest of ALL TIME. its gotta be my special interest (i've got that autism gene) at this point. I cannot go like a half an hour without at least thinking about it and it consumes my brain to the point its affecting the way I think, talk, and function in my day to day life its so unhealthy for me but I can't stop... if I go too long without talking about it or doing something related to it in some way I start TWEAKING like some junkie its horrible can someone please lobotomize me ill pay you good

Homestuck was incredibly influential on how I write and what I read, my speech patterns are heavily determined and defined by homestuck characters (a month ago i comforted a friend and she said "thanks, also that sounds like a dave striderism), and rosemary made me realize i was gay

lol same on the sets of 8 thing. my ocd actually hates it when i dont do things in sets of 8

also its my special interest so its probably fucked up how i type and also my wardrobe

and how i style myself

im blonde and i have a side part and i wear aviators regularly. so

To this day, I can't walk past Betty Crocker products in a shop without snickering a bit.

There's also Homestuck-isms and SBAHJ-isms that have permanently embedded themselves in my vocabulary, like 'acrobatic pirouette off the handle', 'fuckass', 'we're doing this man, we're making this happen' and 'I warned you about stairs, dog!'.

YES. i got into homestuck when i was about twelve years old and it changed my life in the same way that like. bojack horseman did. which is to say irreparably and i cant tell if that was for the better or for the worse. i have had some very specific experiences in my life that i have only ever seen represented in homestuck and nothing else. homestuck shaped my humour, the type of stories/story elements i like, my art style, my writing style, my personal life, my identity, and so much more. there are so many homestuck quotes that i reference 24/7 (one of my favourites being THIS IS WHAT THE REFRANCE). also i am one of the many trans guys who fell victim to naming themselves dave LMAO

OH 100%. ABSOLuTELY. ID BE WILLING TO SAY HOMESTuCK IS MY SPECIAL INTEREST. THE WAY I APPROACH PEOPLE IS BASED OFF OF THE CHARACTER I ASSOCIATE THEM WITH. ITS HELPED ME FOLLOW AND CONTINuE CONVERSATIONS. ITS HELPED ME GAIN FRIENDS AND BECOME MORE OuTGOING. OVERALL A NET POSITIVE. REALIZING I CAN KIN CALIBORN HAS MADE ME GAIN ANGER ISSuES THOuGH. IT ALSO FEELS DISGuSTING TO TYPE WITHOuT QuIRKING. IT IS ALSO THE ONLY FANDOM IVE COSPLAYED FOR. BEING CALIBORN HAS HELPED ME REFLECT ON SOME PERSONAL ISSuES AND HAS MADE ME WANT TO GROW ASWELL. ITS IMPROVED MY ART. I HAVE A JOB NOW. I WRITE DIFFERENTLY. I *THINK* DIFFERENTLY.

I ALSO REALLY *REALLY* CRAVE MEAT ALL THE TIME. THANKS HuSSIE.

there's nothing quite as painfully geeky as walking into a data structures lecture and putting images of fetch modi in your notes, but i don't know how much that qualifies as everyday

There is a direct and unambiguous line between me getting into homestuck, meeting my partners, and taking my transition seriously, among other things.

i used to hate chess. now i really really really like chess. pool is also one of my favourite games now

apart from that i classpect all of my non-homestuck ocs and describe their dynamics using quadrants

homestuck also taught me a lot of words. i use the word abscond in casual conversation way too much

also not a single day passes without me thinking about chess people

.not only has it affected my life its latched onto my other interests like some kind of semi-symbiotic barnacle.

.i think about other media through the lens of Homestuck. it gave me more ways to approach other web fiction such as 17776 or corru.observer

.i recognise 413 everywhere, view my relationships through the quadrant system, and i look up at the sky on clear nights just for that one ligmastuck "you're just a filthy homestuck arent you" panel to flash into my brain like some kind of psychic attack

.i hate homestuck. it's great
