I can already hear the future discourse within the fandom over whether people "got into hs" by reading the comic vs watching the series... wow, I can't wait for that arc to start :))


This whole thing has me conflicted. Cool that it's happening, I guess, sure... But jeez, if I wanted to "watch" hs I'd just stick with Let's Read Homestuck. Not sure how I feel about the whole 'trying to get helluva boss/hazbin hotel fans into hs' thing that is seemingly happening. More people getting into Homestuck isn't bad per se, but I have been enjoying the somewhat insular, out-of-the-spotlight community that's been going on for a while.

I am tent8vely excited. If I can be so honest, mostly because Toby is wworking on another Homestuck thing. I kind of figured he had wwashed his hands of it, but I'm not entirely sure wwhat gave me that impression...

@temporarilytaciturn Yeah I'm not really sure where this sentiment began. I think you see it a lot in circles that love Toby's stuff but either find HS old hat or have absorbed the very surface level "unspeakable media" impression of it, because I guess it's tempting to believe your fave would definitely be ashamed of his days working on something 'cringe'. But nah, Toby continues contributing stuff to HS projects and has spoken positively about it even still in recent years, so, I think people are just inventing lore for him lol.

"inventing lore for him" is so good lmao, if there is anything toby is ashamed of it would be stuff like his halloween hack.

Of course people on reddit are trying to spread a conspiracy theory about the trailer's release is somehow a "distraction" from Gio's UHC shit fit... I shouldn't need to explain it's fucking stupid and also not how release schedules work, but redditors will continue to be redditors.

Anyway,

Don't make this.

Don't release this.

This is ass.

I don't care if it's Citizen Kane levels of quality, a Homestuck animated show with Vivziepop heavily involved is going to be nothing but ass based on concept alone.

It's like if House of Leaves had a marvel movie adaptation.

Mountains of nerd cred erased overnight.

HE IS

ABSOLUTELY

KILLED!!!!

even if nerd cred was a thing homestuck don't got that, it's the thing the nerds call "for nerd"
