Re: Kanaya Maryam Appreciation Thread

Kanaya is probably my favorite character in the whole damn comic! In addition to sharing her classpect, I very much relate to her strong desire to help her friends solve their problems. Also +5 for style and +100 for CHAINSAWS! Fan art I just finished today for tax! (a bit blurry cause I had to scal...

andrew saying gendered classes dont matter for OCs isnt exactly the same as him saying they Aren't Real In Homestuck? like, if someone asked him if they could make an oc with sparkling pink blood he's going to say yes, but that doesn't mean it's suddenly a blood colour trolls have. that being said ...

Re: What webcomics are you reading?

I've been reading Questional Content regularly for a while now. It starts out being kind of a crudely drawn LOLRandom/cringey slice-of-life comic and morphs into a really well-drawn, LGBTQIA+-friendly, interesting slice-of-life comic at some point. I don't remember exactly when since I binge-read li...

Re: THE VRISCOURSE THREAD

I can definitely see that view of things - and I think my POV probably has a lot to do with what I focused on, remembered from the comic, and the slightly different viewpoint that Pesterquest takes toward her background. Not to mention all the fanon that gets thrown into the mix that changes element...

Re: Classpect discussion

Sylph of Space here - shared with Kanaya (yay!). Couple random thoughts: The whole Sylph class seems pretty broadly/poorly defined (especially with regards to what that would mean for a space player), but I kind of like the implications of "healing others through creation" or helping to heal (stuff ...

Re: THE VRISCOURSE THREAD

So, after playing Vriska's route in Pesterquest I had some additional thoughts on her motivations and why I like her as a character. Vriska reminds me of myself as a survivor of domestic abuse and violence. Now, granted, I didn't have a giant fucking spider screaming in my head unless I fed it peopl...

Re: What was your primary fandom pre-homestuck?

Apparently I get into a new fandom every 10 years or so. -In high school, around 1996-2000 (lol I'm old), I was really into the Star Fox fandom. It peaked with the N64 game and got way less active after about 1999. I was big into making fan art and fanfic of an embarrassingly high quantity and not-g...

I got into this whole fandom super recently, so I had the interesting experience of reading Nightfall, loving Nightfall, and then realizing I'd suddenly gotten to the end of Nightfall and it wasn't being updated. And yes, JohnVris OTP - or... JohnVrisRezi (OT... triad? OTT?)... that's good too, in v...

Re: THE VRISCOURSE THREAD

[a wild forum newbie appears!] I really like Vriska as a character. She can be an insufferable asshole, and she did some truly terrible things (some of which are slightly less-terrible in a world where resurrection, retcon, and ghosts/the afterlife are all definitely things... but still), but she al...

Learning to Draw Again!

So, a long time ago (19-20 years) I was in high school and drew a lot. I was in another fandom back then, so the whole fan art thing is near and dear to my heart. And then life happened and I fell into a couple of horrible life-holes for two decades. Until a friend's random comment had me deciding t...

Re: What Was Your First Upd8, and How Do You Feel Your Point of Entry Has Influenced Your View on the Comic?

I'm probably in the minority here, but my first exposure to actually reading Homestuck (as opposed to just kinda hearing about it - the years where it was first being released were weird and awful for me, so I have a weird kind of cultural blip where stuff is "new to me" from about 2011-2015) was a ...
