I’m Mel (they/them), co-host of the upcoming podcast Nextdoorstuck!

I’ve had a special interest in Homestuck since 2012 (and all I got was this FREE dave strider living in my brain) but my wonderful girlfriend Ali (she/her) has somehow escaped the last several years of cohabitation unburdened by webcomic knowledge beyond “they don’t have arms, and there is someone called the mayor who is Just A Little Guy.”

That being said, we have embarked on the daunting and exciting journey to read the entirety of Homestuck together! Every week, we will read a chunk of pages (posted here in advance if you’d like to read along!) and discuss them together in Nextdoorstuck — a podcast releasing every Monday, starting February 13th, 2023!

Join us to unlock core memories, or attempt to cobble together an understanding of a truly bananas story via the commentary of some lesbians on the internet! Either way, we look forward to sharing this journey with you!
