How did you get introduced to Homestuck?

[loomingDoom]

I tried to get into Homestuck 3 time but the long chat logs put me off and how slow the intro is (I'm a sucker for action stories) that was until i discovered Voxus... yes i'm a filthy voxus homestuck fan XD

My friend was the one to get me into Homestuck, and I've been a fan of it ever since. I use Pesterchum often and enjoy talking to my friends on there.

Group of friends attempted (and kinda failed) to make a Homestuck club in our discord server and i eventually got interested in reading it and i thought to myself that hey, it'd be nice to have a thing to obsess over the first half of this year, so i decided to go with Homestuck. As it turns out, a fair amount of my peers really liked homestuck/were getting into homestuck around the same time as much and ever since then (feb 2021) its become my special interest and it'll probably remain that way

I knew about it for years with no interest of getting into it, back when it was huge. A friend of mine on Tumblr managed to convince me to start reading it in 2018 or so, and I read the first ~400 pages, starting at like 2 or 3 am that day (night?). I thought it was okay but kind of forgot about it until I randomly remembered that I'd never finished it in late November 2020. I've pretty much been obsessed since early December 2020.

I had like heard of it in like 2014 or around the time. Because yknow. It was the mid 2010s and I was a semi regular tumblr user. After a while I decided to check it out for some reason, forget why. Actually got a good bit in before I just dropped it for some reason. Kinda forgot about it for a few years until randomly last year the magic of the YouTube algorithm struck and just decided I wanted to watch Homestuck content reminding me of its existence and yeah. Ending up reading it all in about 3 months.

My friend was reading this page in the middle of class in 2015 and laughing at it. He kept quoting it when talking to me and I asked what he was reading. All he would say was "Homestuck," and no matter how many times I asked what it was about, he would just tell me to read it for myself and find out. I had heard of Homestuck before on the internet, and I thought it was only about "the gray people with horns" (as I used to put it before reading it). It kind of annoyed me a bit to read hundreds of pages without any sign of the trolls anywhere (Jade and Rose are some of my favorite characters nowadays though), and I actually quit twice before finally hunkering down and reading it towards the end of 2016. I finished in about two months, and I got a small taste of what it was like to wait for updates before the main webcomic ended.

Heard about it a bit online because i was in the UNDERTALE fandom for a while, then my sister started reading it and got me to read it and now i really love it! Now I'm reading Homestuck with my friend and he really likes it too. (As of posting this he's currently on Act 5, Act 2.)

[moonObssesed]

i was sucked in though a portal called broadway karkat

[aquaticFoxfire]

I guess I just found it one day. I was fixated on UNDERTALE dispite not being able to play it.
So I guess i just found Homestuck and read it because I could. (Unfortunately I couldn’t pass the one bit that was broken so I forgot about it for three years).

Then fast forward to summer 2020. I just thought about reading it again.

So far I turned out great!

my sibling started reading it and would not stop talking to me about it. I was not much of a reader at the time but then my bro showed me [S] Rex Duodecim Angelus and that pushed me to actually start reading it.

[TellTaleTypist]

My brother hounded me into reading it and then fell out of love with it pretty much right as I started getting really into it. Now it's 10 years later and I still can't shut up about it while couldn't care less about it lol.

[Chemol]

i dont really remember what it was, but i think it was this one video about a now lost media fancomic called "Be the lowblood seadweller". the song they used in the video was a cover of "Poor Unfortunate Souls". who did the cover? THE FUCKING JONAS BROTHERS (lighthearted)

[adorableGluttony]

Some guy on an autism support forum I used to frequent (yes I’m autistic) made a post mentioning his love/hate feelings towards Homestuck Trolls. I was curious about it so I googled Homestuck.

I’ve been into Homestuck for so many years that my brother remembers me talking about it way back when he was in high school. He’s in his mid-twenties now.

[AutisticTussler]

I'm pretty sure I was first introduced to it via [S] Gamzee: Sing a song about things. after that, I watched a few more videos without context and I stopped. Fast forward to May 2022. I suddenly get an influx of Homestuck content on my TikTok FYP. after that I get intrigued and read Homestuck. 3 months later, I'm on page 6453.

[contrabandToxicant]

Massive nagging from friends LOL! I read some of Act 1 back in school in like 2014 but I couldn't get into it. Came back several months ago and I've gotten well into Act 5 now!

[compassionateCrafter]

there was this fucking parody of gentleman by psy. with gamzee. this is the few artifacts of the song from it i can find:

[Avatar Mary]

a good friend of mine told me about it back in 2012

[temporalWitch]

My brothers ex girlfriend
We were talking about songs that we liked, and she put "Everything at once" (specifically a pmv about fandoms), she then started talking about how she used to be obsessed with one of the things presented in the video, this thing being Homestuck lol

[ForkOfSpoon]

tumblr brought me to neocities... neocities brought me to spacehey, and one day i just decided "yeah sure homestuck seems cool and i have nothing else to do i'll go read it"
