#recap

Here’s a recap of our historic Artemis II launch and a preview of what's to come.

Last week I dropped the Ultimate Homestuck Recap that summarized the webcomic that once dominated the internet, particularly Tumblr.

Today I bring you what it was all for, a video essay called Homestuck Is Good, Actually.

If you were wondering, "Homestuck, really? In 2025?" The answer is yes. This isn't ironic. It's 100% sincere. I love Homestuck. And I think you should, too. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you about… Homestuck.

RECAP TIME

my ultimate gays’ little recap thanks for looking I don’t think you had a choice lowk 😭😭 oops forgot to put the read more bar ohh nooo what a shame

Like the guy was saying that Holt was unreliable and was giving the fellow monsters a straight up warning about him.

Then the next thing he knows/"wakes up" to is that he's in prison. Probably wondering what Holt did. Heck, that point, he didn't even know that Holt was being framed.

And the thing is, he can't even ask how he got there in the first place right when he wakes up because that'd alert the cop that they're one in the same.

Then all of a sudden, he's at a normie school and actually enjoys being able to fit in, which was a short-lived experience. But then he's not totally safe as loud music forces him to temporarily transform into Holt, despite all the struggling because who knows what could happen to him if anyone found out.

Because quite literally the last memory he had was being forced to switch over to Holt by Lilith. After that, Holt was the one who experienced the Trick or Treatment.

Then finally out of nowhere, he's at a party and Claire kissed him.

Like this dude couldn't catch a break the whole movie, then he suddenly gets a new love interest. He basically pulled her by doing (almost) absolutely nothing.

Also, speaking of what he doesn't remember, how do you think the monsters or even Claire broke it to him that he was about to die/be beheaded?

And you know we could talk about Holt's perspective too but it's just a bit more...grim.

At first, he's fine and happy that he's free, but most importantly, he's eager to get revenge on the humans trashing their school.

Then next thing he knows, he's being arrested by the police for something he didn't even do, and got put in a cell. The last he remembers is that his headphones were taken from him, which basically cut him off literally and figuratively.

After that, he transformed abruptly when he heard loud music blasting through the human school, then presumably blacked out again when it was over.

Out of the blue, he's back when Lilith the monster hunter awakes him and corners him. Then it's announced that he's going to be killed by an outdated execution method. Which was inching closer and barely got out of with the help of his friends.

Then when he goes in to flirt with Claire at the party, he's just rejected when she puts earmuffs on him.

So yeah Jackson's perspective is more amusing while Holt's is straight up traumatic. Then he got rejected to add salt to the wound. (Guy got cock-blocked by his alter ego lol)
