so I only read the first chapter of homestuck and everything I know about it has come through fanworks and references. Apparently today’s a big homestuck anniversary too, so what I’m asking is;
will somebody tell me about homestuck?
so the creator, Hussie, had just made the slightly obtuse internet comedy Problem Sleuth. Because everthing Hussie makes builds on his previous work before inheriting from itself in an ourobouros of stupidity, he had a focus for the beginning: The first act or two of homestuck is a tutorial for programming data structures. Then it expands in scope a couple dozen times until in the end the villian (who is implied to have the powers of billiards (the pub game, not the number)) is defeated by being blown back into a black hole made from several exploding universes collapsing in on eachother orchestrated by his twin sister. Who was possibly also a firefly for a while but in a forgotten future of a different universe then the one she’s from. The main characters we’ve been following since the start are not involved in any of this.
Part of me is very fascinated with the idea of mmo rping that’s this complex/multi-layered and the other part of me is concerned that this person dedicated the time to do something this Fucked Up
But I want to know how the others reacted. And if this person had a good in-character motive for this.
ok i’m just going to ask
I got a response.
Oh my god it gets worse
You mean better, right?
Holy shit this is an amazing story of spite and persistence, holy shit holy shit.
