hi! i only recently discovered you but i think youre really cool by virtue of A) plur B) doggie C) homestuck aka all of the things i am as well x3
i think youre neat but im scared of talking to people so im glad this is an option :p
anyways for an actual question or 2: when did you start reading homestuck and what do you think of beyond cannon?
First off thank you for thinking I'm cool and you're always welcome to reach out directly, promise I'm super nice! :3
Second: I ORIGINALLY tried to read Homestuck back in 2012 but couldn't get into it. I think I got about 600 pages in before I fell off? Dunno what I was on back then, I got deeply invested when I re-read it long before I hit page 600. Anyways I read it AGAIN at the end of 2022 and that's when it really clicked for me lol. I think that was good for me though, I think getting into Homestuck when the original comic was complete and entirely available, as opposed to when it was still being posted gradually, means I didn't develop a lot of the weird fandom brainrot that as far as I can tell is what made a lot of fans hate the comic (i.e. they got really used to fandomized versions of characters, especially during long breaks, and then got upset when the comic characters weren't that.)
Third, I have not actually read Beyond Canon yet, honestly lol. I have been meaning to get around to it eventually and I'm going to give it a completely fair chance when I do! I at least appreciate a lot of what it's going for, based on all I've heard about it so far. (I know, I know, pfp from a Beyond Canon panel but haven't read it, fake fan lol)
