I WOULD VOTE FOR THAT MAYOR.
I would give him all the votes. ALL OF THEM.
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! :D
VOTE MAYOR FOR *ALL* OF THE POSITIONS
all of them.
I had no idea our fandom was so hated....
About an hour ago, I was having so much fun chatting with a stranger online about my interests but once I mentioned Homestuck they signed off, not saying anything
*Update:* He blocked me and so did his friends, saying "Stay away from us you Homestuck trash" >:(
Betty Crocker
oh my god...Im so sorry :( wtf do people hate so much about us?
I don't know! We are generally nice people...right? :l
Betty Crocker
I-I dont know,I mean.....at least I am...and I feel like you are too....
I think the reason why when we see a homestuck fan irl they're our immediate best friend is because... Homestuck fans are so hard to find, for me at least, and you share an interest with that person. Even when our ships, theories, and headcanons are different, we still shed those tears and we still love the comic just the same. I still haven't found one though
Me too. :'(
Heh, Same Here...
I Have No Homestuck Friends IRL Or Internet...
;-;
+nyeh heh heh same, I'm trying my best to get some of my friends to read it, but they just don't follow through ;~;
me too! All my friends have shitty english, so nobody understands ;-;
KatieTehKool Same. But I've been getting my friends into Homestuck and I saw a guy in my school wearing a Dave Strider hoodie!
I love when people put the time and effort into their cosplay, and make it look nice. They have my respect.
2:35 - 3:04 Headcanon real life Nepeta Leijon detected
It's funny because we are trash xD.
All my Homestuck friends say "We know we're trash. And we don't care!"
We are the worst but best fandom ever
yas
I have only one Homestuck friend ;-;
Guys, on 2019 there's no more Homestuck friends
True
//sits here counting all the homestucks in the back//
me too lol
So many.
homestuck brings people together. I actually met my girlfriend at a convention were i was Tavros and she was Gamzee. After a lot of talking we got together and even cosplay married. We are very happy together.
PS one does not just explain homestuck
Aw..That is so nice !
3:10 THE LISSSSSSSSSSP
YOU DID FORGET SOMETHING
all the crazy shenanigans
AND THE MIRACLES!
THEY MAYOR COSPLAY WAS BEAUTIFUL
You forgot..
the buckets
We DoNT BRiNG THoSe uP, ReMeMBeR?
THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE! *Le Gasp*
I like the music in homestuck, I love and hate all the characters. The Plot and story is so unique and different I can't relate it to anyting else. Its so original.I think its the best webcomic ever XD
3:04
*THAT SOLLUX IS SO HEADCANON*
3:54
DEADPOOL WITH A PINK FLUFFY UNICORN
Homestuck is scary, gruesome, definitely original and fun to read so you should read it. I didn't read it yet but I will.
yagmur celik oh my gods did you read it yet?? it's sooo good but I won't spoil it
did u read it yet?
omg I love that the Eridan and Sollux cosplayers stayed in character with the voices! that's awesome.
When I saw Wayward Vagabond I spit Pepsi out XD
I couldn't finish homestuck because my computer crushed on me and i lost my place
Daaaaaaaamn
***** yeah
I know
its hard to start over again if im in school
I remember the _very_ first time I was introduced to Homestuck, I was at a con and one of the people I was with said I should try to count the trolls. I, in my former gullibility, didn't know what a troll was, so she explained that they were gray teenagers with orange horns. I immediately started to notice some. I didn't know this at the time, but the very first cosplay I saw was of Equius. I think they were with someone dressed as Nepeta as well. Wandering around the con, I noticed several trolls I now recognise as Karkat, Kanaya, Terezi, and others. Now, fast forward several months, I'm really into Undertale, and Toby Fox's music. So, of course, I'm reintroduced into Homestuck. At first I was confused, and my only thoughts were, "Where are the dam trolls?"
But, I persevered, and only skipped the intermission (I know, I'm a sinner).
I haven't finished Homestuck yet, and I'm not actually sure if I ever will, but I _do_ know I will always enjoy it.
So, did you ever finish Homestuck?
i accidentally snorted rly loud at 4am when i saw calliope i love her so much
@Liliana Villalobos does you have a trollsona :D
Sort of? idk if its a trollsona, its sort of just an oc.
DOCTOR WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
DOCTOR GET BACK HERE
I HAVE A FEZ
"It's really great, it's like a big family." And then that quote went on to become an extremely popular vine wow-
The thing I personally love about Homestuck is that the characters, despite all of their differences, truly are a family. Even through the death, and the sad parts, they were stuck together and that really speaks to me.
It's so hard to find other Homestuck fans for me too and I only have like 15/16 friends online who like homestuck too, I mean they taught me about Homestuck, they showed me one gif video and i loved it XD.
+Claire and Terezi “The Scalemate Queen” AJ Yea, and in real life it's hard two ;^:
I only found ONE PERSON at my school that likes Homestuck and we just became best friends ;V;
little eppap I need an irl friend that likes Homestuck too ;n;
I have 3 friends who read it
I live in Brazil , almost no one I know speaks english
Rose, that is a gorgeous cosplay. *thumbs up*
I liked how the Sollux cosplayer spoke with a lisp.
The thing that really drew me into Homestuck Would be three things One the characters There are so many different characters With such a vast variety of personality types And disabilities Which really gives everybody something to relate to And makes every type of person a hero
II would be the storyline Just all the shenanigans and just how is brought togetherAnd if the insanity of the idea in general 3 would be the fandom It was actually my friend Abby who made me start reading Homestuck One day
I love homestuck. It's interactive, and somehow falls together even though it's WAY random. Our friends enjoy constant cosplay, and we have been obsessing over it in every way. I think that the best thing about Homestuck is that it sort of reaches everyone's interests. It's not just science fiction; It's also comedy and romance, and other things that people have interest, and the characters are so much like people in reality that you can actually relate to them in some moments.

my best friend introduced me to it :)

The Doctor is just like "NOTICE ME SENPAI I WANNA BE FAMOUS!!!"
i just started reading homestuck.... rip me
i just love the freedom in the fandom like you could go cosplay your oc and people would be genuinely interested in your character
Its weird that this was 7 years ago
you know what striked me after several minutes, they're all chicks.
Male cosplayers in general are usually swept under the rug... But it seems in like almost all of the big fandoms right now that there is a major infestation of the squealing pre-teen fangirls.

At first I only kept reading Homestuck because I wanted to see how the trolls would be incorporated into the story, but what made me love it so much was that it really made me feel. They are so many emotions that get to you reading this and you really start to connect and fall in love with the characters. You start to care about them and want to see what they'll do next and how things will work out for them. This hiatus is driving me crazy and I just really want to see what happens, so that's why I really like Homestuck.
cliffnotes version:
the feels man
A year later and can relate to this. 1st time I read the first 5 acts, it was to get to the trolls and I wasn't enjoying it. I try again a couple years later, but with a mindset of I wonder what these characters are about, what events unfold. I was actually looking foward to the whole story vs just the humor from the trolls. I gotta say, I like Jade and Especially Rose a lot more because of it. Rose is a smart ass and I tend to think those types of characters are funny. And Andrew Hussie somehow made me feel for even the characters that seemed unlikable like Karkat and Vriska. How the hell he made me love a troll who gets stressed out too easily and a troll who lied a lot in the past. Now I'm on act 2 of Act 5 and kind of am where I left off. This 2nd read through I enjoyed the vast majority of.
Aw so long ago I miss the old side of the fandom man
i love this fandom and how everyone's just together and it's just awesome
This was AMAZING! The Doctor coming along at the end too...Dude, that was too cool! I just loved how the questions were posed and everything was amazingly unbiased! I loved it! :3
The whole thiing ii2 a metaphor for growiing up and because iit ii2 mo2tly teen2 that read Homestuck we can relate 2 the character2 be2t. We fiind iit very iintere2tiing becau2e we fiind a character we can relate 2 (usually our patron troll or one of the four human2.)
No problem! Thank you for participating.
3:16 That Eridan omg xD))
I just saw the 11th doctor in the background...yes, I think yes.
aww… wow this was so long ago. miss how big homestuck was
I think what got me and many other people were all the characters in Homestuck. So much stuff to cosplay, roleplay, and share that you never really get tired of it. And because of the many characters its almost inevitable that you find at least one you can relate to.
this video is amazing at how well some people make their points. its also entertaining if you watch in the background whats going on. when the interveiw with nepeta and hero of hearts equius was going on there was a docter cosplay in the background running around and i just thought that was amazing.
2:45 the doctor
It's Another Anime Convention in New Hampshire. It's happening again this October.
omg that eridan that walked by near the end looked awesome D:
A big part of reading Homestuck is that it is up to a reader's interpretation and it allows you to use your imagination. In fact, it encourages you to. The long texts can be daunting but as as person who is reading the comic a second time, you really do connect with the characters. The fandom is pretty accepting when it comes to different headcanons and pairings. What I love most about it is that we are all inspired to participate, whether it is throuh music, art, cosplay, or writing.
Homestuck inspired me to my own series,
2:44 the 11th doctor in the backround like "derpderpderpderp"
oh gog feeling jams...oh my gosh i do love the fandom!! and no one should ever worry about whether or not they'll be accepted because all the people i've met have been amazing and everyone accepts you prettymuch no matter what . and yes the animations and music are just amazing!!! really everything is.... :)
I loved the 'doctor' coming in at the end.
I love everything about homestuck and just want to tell everyone about it
I don't know what Homestuck is (I'll find out later), but I was looking in the background, and I saw Kaito Shion. He's my favourite Vocaloid! :D
Another thing to add about why lots of people love the fandom is the journey that some characters go on. Some characters never change, like Mituna is always spazzy and Eridan never really turns his life around, but others really grow. Karkat, for example, goes from being a grumpy shut-in to a strong leader. Dave slowly but surely breaks from his "cool kid" image to help his friends. Tavros' confidence grows dramatically, and Jadesprite finds her worth. In addition, the overcoming of disabilities is a key factor. Terezi's lack of sight doesn't seem to hinder her at all, Latula is still "rad" without a sense of smell, and Meulin stays as happy as ever though without hearing.
Homestuck is gust beautiful, everyone is so nice and supportive of eachother :3
the freakin 11th doctor cosplayer in the background omg xD
3:06 tHEY EVEN NAILED THE LISP
3:09: Eridan: Panic Attack
I showed my friends Homestuck, ones almost caught up and ones on act 1 still, lol
that nepeta next to the equius in the hoodie
aaaa so cute
the doctor roaming through the background was pretty great
when the Kurloz is talking-
2:29 HEY LOOK IT'S DIPPER PINES!!!
AND MABEL
the name was a reference the earthbound games since they both have similar story progression and pacing.
"it's really great. It's like a big family." THIS IS WHERE THAT CAME FROM!!
Homestucks just flock togheter we mannaged to get about 20 of us at my local (and very new and fairly small) convention and well i met my new girlfreind in that group so god am i glad to be in such an amazing fandom
I love the doctor who guy that shows up in the background of a bunch of the clips
I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE SOLLUX BECAUSE OF HIS REPLY!!
There are cases where there have been actual Tavros cosplayers who really can't walk and Homestuck gives them something to coslpay that makes them feel better!
I know of a Terezi cosplayer who is ACTUALLY blind and coslpaying as Terezi makes her feel much better about maybe tripping, bumping into people and things, etc.
Everyone can relate to a character in some way and it just makes us all happy to be able to relate to them.
Whenever you find someone who has the same classpect as you, you feel like you have a connection. Just knowing what theirs is tells you a bit about who they are and it's so cool.
You know, honestly, till you just mentioned that, it didn't occur to me that there were no male interviewees. I'll keep that in mind if we do a Part 2 :)
why was this recommended to me NOW?
I knew I knew that Rose and Dave !! Cowbutts to the win~ they're so pretty :'3 also lovely interview~~ >w
I remember first entering the fandom. :) I was up late one night watching Hetalia, and then suddenly I saw someone post a homestuck picture on my tumblr dashboard. Out of curiosity, I looked it up. Been reading ever since. The cosplaying is really fun. X3 And It helps me meet some really cool people
OMG DOCTOR WHO COSPLAY IN THE BEGINNING
Omg that nepetas voive is my new head cannon :O That Sollux speaks will a lisp to the reporter
It took me sometime and a ton of hesitation later to get into it. Act one, yes, it was slow, but then I kept reading, and some days later, I'm now on Act 5 when the story of the trolls come in.
2:41
Eleventh Doctor just buzzing about in the background :D
I just started reading homestuck again and I got my favorite part with my favorite people
KARKAT AND GAMZEE, TEREZI
The fandom itself is just the best and most coolest, accepting fandom out there
omfg
ajshdiukahsduikahd fangasm
I can't the beginning of the video seriously with The Doctor in the background XD
Personally, my reason for liking Homestuck is because of not only the story itself, but the way the characters react to their surroundings, their reactions reach from stoic passiveness to sheer panic, and every one is either incredibly hilarious of ridiculously terrifying, and I love every minute of it.
why I discovered this fandom just now
It gives a name to the types of relationships we've had for years but never had a name for.
I usually get into something because of ships , that 's probably one reason why I 'm reading and in the fandom xD Aside from the long constant pesterlogs it _is_ a good comic , with random shits for giggles . And them fanarts & cosplays tho , it 's amazing how far people go with it .
Why is everyone so obsessed with shipping? I find it breathtakingly stupid.
Haha the doctor in the backround of the first bit !!
THE PERFECT LIITHP
the Equius cosplayer has the cutest lisp aww!
Wow, seriously amazing cosplays here.
She kept up the liisp, haha. Niice!
wait, was that the master at the end who said, "yeah!" after the doctor ran away orr....?
The reason HS is so popular is because it's very innovative i n the sense of story-telling. But why it's so GOOOOOD is because the story is completely original. It kinda falls into the Science Fiction, Space Opera, or Epic genres, but it has so many new concepts (which are the base for good sci fi) like the different types of time travel, the whole "paradox space" shit, the fact that the end of the Earth's civilization is such a small event in the history of the universe, the amazing back story for every single character, world and thing, the frequency with which the "this-is-awful-but-it's-for-the-greater-good" thing is used and all the different personalities makes homestuck's story simply BEAUTIFULLY EPIC.
Thnx for reading the whole thing.
that vriska at the start is adorable
Every Homestuck cosplayer I've met has been awesome.
dude, this is the best reporter ever.
Anime Boston is really good its in March
i love the spontaneous doctor at 2:45. i just flipped out
