>So what are your thoughts on Homestuck so far?
It's been a pretty good ride, but I'm honestly not really feeling any of the current stuff anymore. I'm really attached to some of these characters, and I really loved it for what it was, but things are certainly not living up to my hopes any more and I am feeling really disappointed.
>When did you start to follow it?
Somewhere near the start of Act 5. I think it was Sollux's introduction, but I could be wrong.
>What was the moment in the comic that made you turn from reader to fan? That moment that made you say to yourself, "Holy shit, I love this comic"?
I really enjoyed it when Rose killed imps by dropping things on them, it was the kind of practical exploitation of the rules that always bothers me when it goes unused in media. However, I would have to say that seeing the timeline that spawned Davesprite and how Dave basically had to leave Rose to die was what hooked me in for good.
>Has the fandom influenced the way you enjoy it positively or negatively?
I eventually ended up joining Tumblr during the megapause, and Jesus Christ was it ever horrible. "Feferi is the bestest and if u dont like her you're hitler!" It was shitpost-tier content all the time, unless you just ignored any and all text posts and just looked at art.
Then there were the theorists that would pull stuff out of their asses despite it not holding up to basic scrutiny, but then saying "You're just too dumb to understand why I'm always right!" whenever someone shut them down.
On the bright side, over time I got to have a good laugh at some of the autists that legitimately thought the Class/Aspect system had real-life implications. (I.E. A Lord of Light will eventually rule all knowledge in the world. Yeah, someone legitimately believes that and tried oh so horribly to defend that crazy position.)
