ive been aware of homestuck since like 2013 as someone who was very online/in fandom spaces and i made some attempts at reading it around then but i never got past act 3. i only really got into hs in october of last year when i started listening to homestuck made this world (podcast) bc i was interested in hs as a historical phenomenon and after listening for a while i realized that i would probably actually enjoy the comic and the rest is history. (i livetweeted it btw you can still see it the @ of the acct is the same as my retrospring username)
