I'm still just trying to figure out what Faygo is.

My brother was OBSESSED with homestuck in his early teens, but he never let me read it because he thought it wasn’t appropriate for a little kid. I sneakily opened it up on the family computer anyways, read one page, and found it completely incomprehensible to my tiny mind. That night two tornadoes hit my town and destroyed part of my house. I like to think that somehow, some way, homestuck was responsible.

I'm a con vendor. I've never had a HS fan be outright rude--most were very nice--but as a group, they are by far the most inconsiderate. Damaging merch or people's clothing with their paint. Putting wet items in vendor tables. Leaving hairy gray messes in bathrooms. Taking up walkways. They'd station themselves in front of tables to talk, preventing anyone else from looking at merch. If asked to move, they'd sometimes try to migrate BEHIND VENDOR TABLES. None of it was malicious, just... Clueless. Sweet people for sure, most of them, but so many needed to pay attention to others.

They (Andrew uses all pronouns) and the studio behind Hiveswap sent legal threats to Sarah because of her video, “asking” her to delete it and apologize for spreading misinformation. Turns out, there isn’t misinformation, at least they never said what information is wrong, they just swear to god that the bad things about the development of Hiveswap (people not being credited, being fired without warning and the general delay of the game) are fake because the source of these informations are “bad people”. Sarah spent weeks talking to Andrew trying to understand what those false informations are, but they never answered, they just kept running back and forth about how some people that used to work with them are bad and how these people convinced their co-workers that Andrew and the whole development were messy and bad. Also, they accidentally confirmed a lot of the bad things that happened during the development of the game, like not crediting a person just because they believed that this person was talking bad things about the company after being fired without warning. A “funny thing” about this whole situation is that Andrew took weeks to watch this video that they claimed that has misinformation, they were talking to Sarah FOR WEEKS about THE VIDEO without having watched THE VIDEO

So when I finally got around to reading it years later Vriska just reminded me of that relationship and made me nostalgic. My second girlfriend was also really into cosplaying Jade too so basically when reading the comic I have pretty strong romantic associations with two Homestuck characters. This is what it was like being a teen in the 2010s.

Thank you for making this so that I didn't have to.

Funny story. During middle school at the height of homestuck my friends and I went to a local-ish con. I use a wheelchair from a disability so I was immediately like “I’ll cosplay Tavros!” So I did. During the whole fucking con I had people coming up to me first of all complementing my cosplay but more importantly asking where I got the wheelchair to use for the cosplay! Legit they would always say “Your cosplay is so accurate where did you find a wheelchair to go with it?!” I would always respond deadpan “I’m actually disabled.” My friends still say that to me all the time. So now they say “Where’d you’d find the wheelchair?!”

This story went better than I was expecting, I was afraid someone was gonna come at you for faking a disability for a cosplay, so I'm relieved even if they thought it was just a prop, it was received well. I've seen some horror stories of people standing up briefly from their wheelchair or moving their legs and being attacked for “faking it”. Some people don’t realise not everyone in a wheelchair is fully paralysed from the waist down.

The Vriska quarantine stuff reminds me of my days on Amino. When I was in the Tangled: The Series fandom, everyone was obsessed with Varian, to the point that the amino had to make a rule called “no Varian weekends” or whatever. There was a featuring thing where basically the people in charge could pick posts to go at the top of everyone’s feed, and on weekends they would refuse to pick anything that was about Varian.

As someone whos in some way known of homestuck for a while but never engaged in the fandom/ read a single page of it, the fact that a Toblerone has the power to change 10 years of story is something that I find impressive just as I find it mind boggling

I barely noticed the gigapause, was completely oblivious to the controversies and debates among the fandom, and I backed Hiveswap on Kickstarter at one of the lower tiers without ever once regretting it. For the record, I was a bit disappointed by Collide, but I liked the ending.

Ooooh that explains it. Something about Undertale I never understood was its initial backer support or developed its obsessive fandom started from seemingly nowhere. More mainstream game media tends to depict Toby Fox as some random guy who came up with a unique game idea and it exploded into a phenomenon due to luck and "determination". His work on Homestuck usually relgated to a small tidbit. And I think this has largely to do with our general cultural obsession to perpetuate the myth of the self made success story coming from nothing with no help mixed with those outlets' lack of knowledge of what HS is (tbf I've watched a few videos and still barely do myself). But it makes so much more sense that he was not only a decently significant part of an established media property, but literally had a close personal relationship with the owner of it. And that there was this ravenous fanbase with already years of built up experience and desire to create fan work and alternate universes just chomping at the bit for anything even related to HS. Not to undermine Toby or Undertale, I absolutely adore the game, it's one of my favorites. But it just explains a lot to me that he had way more to work with than just luck and a good idea. He had a proven style to work from, community support, and probably even a push from Hussie or WhatPumpkin in general. And even more interesting it being essentially an alternate universe version of HS with more broad mainstream appeal and a successful Kickstarter with little to no drama; except it happened adjacent to HS in real life.

This video answers a lot of questions I didn't know I had, particularly about the Undertale fandom. Knowing that Toby Fox was someone in the Homestuck sphere and that a crap load of Homestuck fans gravitated to Undertale when it was released makes the entire Undertale fandom make so much more sense, and honestly it's suuuuper easy to see. In no other fandom do you have as many people invested in making OCs as Homestuck and Undertale. There are so many Sanses you can't blink without crashing into one.

@gonzoss3998

Yup, probably for the worst. I got obsessed over a girl who was into it, so I started reading it. Some bad decisions later and I was writing a fan session fanfic. I used to see those memories as nostalgic but now I don't ever want to remember my time as a Homestuck fan.

I am halfway through the video and this development hell is so fun to me. Like, dude, you can't blame the team of developers for doing nothing and placing it all on them, because, you know, you can't just give them some money, say goodbye and then come back after a year asking where your game is. This is YOUR game, your responsibility, you can't just hand out money to some people without actually working with them and checking on them, even if the team is fucking around it's your job as a client to check on them and tell them not to fuck around. Your job to schedule and to harass them into working, because it is you in the first place who needs this game to be done. Like, if they weren't making any progress, how couldn't you notice for months? If you had bad expirience, maybe stop giving them money? I am working in the game industry and this is SO common for a client to fuck around and not to give you any information and then blame it on the team, this is so frustrating. Even if Odd Gentlemen screwed him over (which I honestly doubt) I can't see why it isn't Hussy's own stupidity, lack of involvement and carelessness, 'cos come on, it's your responsibility to get shit done. Especially considering how poorly Hussy treated the previous stage of development where he made no updates whatsoever for months, I'm siding with Odd Gentlemen on this one. I never new what homestuck is but this shit made me MAD so I'm ranting about it in the comment section of two year old video, look what you've made me do, Hussie!

The way Hussy’s own self-ran studio basically imploded leans evidence that this is all due to Hussy’s own actions.

It's homestuck... I found it typical lol

I love seeing a deep dive and deconstruction of a fandom I was WILDLY into as a teenager. When I was 16 a friend and I went to a 'Homestuck Prom' where I went as "humanstuck!Fancy!Vriska....aka me in a black wig and blue dress I had on hand. It was just a community center with a sensory friendly coloring room and a rec hall dance area but we had an absolute blast and I will never forget being a teenager screaming "Thnks fr th Mmrs" at the top of my lungs with a hundred other people.

To me, the issues with the introduction of gender stuff in Homestuck can be summed up with the fact that I came away from the epilogues feeling they had been written by a very subtle transphobe who was pretending to be pro-trans to slip in anti-trans ideas.

i've never read homestuck or played any of the games, but hearing about how a character has... amab dog genitalia... it really doesn't feel very pro-trans, despite what intentions they may have had. it feels more like those people who say that teens are identifying as cats and schools are putting litter trays in the bathrooms or similar. it's also just. really weird?? borderline zoophile content imo although the stuff vriska seemed fine to me and i quite like the subtext that was added in her dialogue. it feels natural (as natural as homestuck can be) and i think a lot of trans people can relate to "falsifying" an online identity when they're questioning/confused.

The thing about Homestuck cosplay is that it was ludicrously easy. Throw a printed symbol on a colored T-shirt and a couple props and you’ve got a costume. This made cosplaying accessible for kids who would normally never even have tried to cosplay. The trouble came with the trolls, because the costumes were still otherwise easy but the grey skin was difficult.

Problem Sleuth deserves so much more attention, honestly. I stumbled across it fairly early on and excitedly followed it to the conclusion. It was a big deal when Homestuck surpassed it in length.

There are 3 different colors of Faygo cream soda. Blackish brown (regular cola color), red, and blue. Blue is the best, fight me. To be fair though they all do taste like the soul of america. But hey I dont mind the occasional cigarette or taco bell, I don't know if everyone enjoys consuming trash sometimes. Anyway, I'm really high but I think the fact that Faygo cost 99 cents should say everything I can't convey within the confines of the English language.

One of my favorite Homestuck fandom memories was when someone on Tumblr who didn't know anything about it was looking for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but kept getting pictures of "peanut butter and jelly demons fucking each other" in the tag instead because pb&j was the ship name for Gamzee and Tavros.

Great essay! one small correction, though. Toby Fox's song Megalovania wasn't originally used in Homestuck. It WAS used in Homestuck, but it was originally used in Toby Fox's Earthbound Halloween Rom Hack.

The most important part of creating a story is knowing when to finish it. We never needed a Homestuck 2. I honestly think everything went downhill from there. But I refuse to let it tarnish the sweet memories I made back then thanks to it.

During peak honestuck, I'd say the creative part of the fandom is like touhou. Its everywhere once you know what to look for. And the fandoms mix a bit with toby fox and others being touhou fans themselves. I found homestuck through toby from undertale, probably a common thing. Then because im also a weeb youtube recommended me touhou music and i fell down that rabbit hole after i did with homestuck. Its funnier that i found touhou music in my playlist way before i even know what homestuck was let alone touhou.

i love this because there's still so many people into homestuck and it just will not die, ive been into homestuck for so much of my life and im going to a homestuck meetup this weekend to a convention, and i hosted a small homestuck meetup tcc 2023 !! i literally will not let homestuck die as much as we all want it too, its been my special interest since i first got into it, i think homestuck might be forever eternal especially because of the reqieum cafe collab and all of hiveswap :D

True story, homestuck cosplayers got our local con permanently banned from the major con hotel in the area. They broke several elevator buttons because they were kicking them to avoid rubbing off the paint on their hands, got into the hot tub in costume and clogged up the pump with body paint and wig hair, and used "being in character" as an excuse to harass hotel guests both generally and sexually. When the con finally found a new venue they literally banned all homestuck anything because of it.

I was the Jade cosplayer of the group, and while we all sealed our paint, I was the designated button toucher since my hands were unpainted. I'm making a cosplay for another colorful character soon and for body paint I'm probably not even gonna do my hands except for nail polish just so I can still touch stuff

I wasn’t on social media when all of this was happening, and I understand how weird and toxic and confusing this was but,, I just imagine a bunch of teenagers having the time of their life being so involved in a fandom. Like, idk I wasn’t even really around but I just imagine people getting so excited and having so many emotions over this and it makes me all fuzzy inside lol

Her enthusiasm for this comic is so infectious it's really a shame the creator had to react to such a heart felt video going into such loving detail by being threatening, condescending, and dismissive. It seems like that guy might have let the success go to his head a little bit. Anyway this is my second time watching this video and I just wanted to say I love it and glad she called those guys on their bluff.
