#endstuck

sorry if were being a killjoy for you guys, but we can’t help what we feel.

I think one of my favourite things that surrounds Homestuck is that whenever it's mentioned to someone who knows /roughly/ what it is, or has in some way encountered it here or there, is that they never know the right verb. What I mean is, instead of saying: "Oh, yeah, I know Homestuck, but I've never read it." They say things like "I've never played Homestuck," or "never watched Homestuck." And if that doesn't attest to how much Homestuck broke the norm of webcomics (and also how much the fandom was successful in the "Homestuck anime" prank/meme) then i don't know what does.

As someone who experienced the dissapointment and fandom divide caused by Mass Effect 3′s ending first-hand, it’s surreal seeing the exact same thing happening with Homestuck

The ending to homestuck is what happens when someone writes a story outline, writes the ending, then writes the rest of the story.  The ending was written long ago, when “beating the game” was the primary focus of the narrative.  I won’t say the ending was bad, it was just wasn’t focused on things I’ve grown to care the most about.

Thanks for playing.

i'm sobbing please someone hold me
