How did you get into Homestuck?

my girlfriend made me o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

i was like, at a family friend's birthday party, and one of his relatives a bit older than me came over and we ended up talking about popular internet stuff at the time like overwatch. and she showed me her cosplay of this character named "jade" from this thing called "homestuck", and recommended it to me. and then later that year (2017, i think) i read the entire thing in like 2 weeks.

i was in fandom spaces online in deviantart in 2013 at the grand age of 12 freakin years old and octopimps voice overs were popping off at the time. the rest was history

kept seeing random shit relating to it when i was like 13 tried to read it but i got bored and gave up , had it in my browser until i was liek 15 and tried again because of the reddit vriska baby story i seen and thought it was funny

It was 2014 and it was referenced in every circle I was in. Even outside of that there was no escaping it's grasp. I held off reading it until nearly a decade later when I was bored and my curiosity got the best of me.

I was reading VG Cats and they had spotlighted MSPA at the end of Problem Sleuth's run. Loved that read.

Came back on the promise of a new project, but I forgot and then had to catch up on all the dialogue well into A5A1. It took a bit but it was well worth it and I was hooked for the rest of the run.

I first found Homestuck through Ugly Story by PhemieC around 2019. Enjoyed the song but made it a point to NOT join the fandom. Eventually joined the fandom after watching the Sarah Z. video on it in 2021 -_-

i thought homestuck was a little lame because thats what everyone says but two people i knew at the time really liked it and i gave it a shot and i havent been the same since...

here's the full timeline:

- i'm a 13yo in 8th grade

- discover undertale via a megalovania ytpmv

- become obsessed with it

- inevitably hear about homestuck because of the way i obsessed over every little detail about the game and its creation, don't really think much of it at the time though

- become best friends with the two quote unquote "weird girls" in my class because of undertale

- they're into homestuck

- start to be into hometuck, too

- become obsessed with vriska semi-jokingly

- watch a lot of animatics and comic dubs (terepy the movie, dokidoki schoolstuck, salt and pepper diner, etc.)

- read the whole thing the following summer

yeah, that's pretty much it lol. they were also really into stuff like bleach, dmmd, hetalia, yaoi in general, stuff like that. undertale and homestuck were like the strange overlap between their way of life and mine lol. i miss them a lot though. they were, after all, my best friends.

i was watching youtube and s wake showed up in my recommendations in like 2019. i ended up watching it and not knowing what the hell was going on or why megalovania was playing but it interested me, so i dove deeper and now im here.

i was like 12 and my sister was reading homestuck and i remember seeing the panel of kanaya after being killed by eridan and thinking they looked ugly but then i read it

it was around 2015 or so. i was in 6th grade, so i was 13? perfect age. a couple of my friends were talking about it, and i haven’t recovered since.

i don’t think i’d finished homestuck in its entirety until 2019, though. binged it in a week.

should probably reread it…

I had just kinda... heard about it, over the years. People talked about it like it was a lawless corner of the internet from a bygone era. So, I decided to download the UHC and check it out.

I got into it late 2022 (around august-october). I remember seeing videos about it coming from Deltarune Chapter 2 and decided to give it a shot. It took me about a year on and off to actually finish the thing, but I've been into it ever since. I originally started with the "Lets read homestuck" series on YouTube, but once that was finished I began reading on the official website (It was mobile, so it was really shitty lol).

I played Undertale when it came out in about 2015.

Heard this Tricky Tony fellow worked on some other stuff and went back through the archive.

Needless to say, I've been here since.

I got into this fucking shit because my old dear friend linked me a video of the "A Lullaby for Gods". I thought it was cool looking and then I found out it was a whole ass comic, and I read what was currently out in one go. Kinda regret it but at the same time I don't, a decent story that latches on you like a parasite of cringekino.

was on Sarah Zedig's discord server and she was talking about Homestuck so I decided to read it. This was like, in March 2019. so. Blasted through the comic just in time for the Epilogues :>

i have a pretty standard Undertale fan-turned-Stuckie story. I started searching for other toby fox projects and stumbled on his Homestuck music around 2017ish? I put off reading the comic itself until COVID lockdown hit, though.

Was shown a voice-dub of pancakestein's Panty Raid comic at my high school ex's graduation party, thought it was hilarious and dove into the source material. Transformed from "story I like" into "hobby" when I got into classpect analysis

it was 2012, this old youtube channel called know your meme made a youtube video on homestuck memes and i was like "this shit looks hilarious! I should look into it"
I have simply been stuck ever since
