#let me tell you about homestuck
Text
Okay, so you know how search engine results on most popular topics have become useless because the top results are cluttered with page after page of machine-generated gibberish designed to trick people into clicking in so it can harvest their ad views?
And you know how the data sets that are used to train these gibberish-generating AIs are themselves typically machine-generated, via web scrapers using keyword recognition to sort text lifted from wiki articles and blog posts into topical subsets?
Well, today I discovered – quite by accident – that the training-data-gathering robots apparently cannot tell the difference between wiki articles about pop-psych personality typologies (e.g., Myers-Briggs type indicators, etc.) and wiki articles about Homestuck classpects.
The upshot is that when a bot that's been trained on the resulting data sets is instructed to write fake mental health resource articles, sometimes it will start telling you about Homestuck.

i want to consume homestuck, uve convinced me.
BUT HOW IT SEEMS CONFUSING
do not worry!!
here's a little guide.
DON'T read on the official website... the company that bought it didn't care about it and did an absolutely shit job at preserving it, most of the games and animations are broken and replaced by annoying walkthroughs or shitty quality videos.
download the unofficial collection! it's preserved not JUST homestuck but also all official homestuck media, like the soundtrack albums, bonus comics, additional websites and all kinds of cool stuff!
the unofficial collection has a ton of customization options for reading. i would absolutely recommend new reader mode, because it hides away any spoilers that could pop up. it'll also notify you when something new is revealed, like a new soundtrack album or bonus comic! that way, you experience things in the same order they came out originally!
there's also mods you can add to the collection- i recommend this one if you're reading with an audience or if you prefer to not see a lot of early 2000s gamer language (which can include ableist slurs)
then, just enjoy! and don't freak out if it seems confusing- advice that i found helpful is to consider homestuck a video game. when new words are introduced don't panic, just pay attention to how they're used-- each item/concept is usually explained and then practiced exactly like in a video game tutorial, so eventually you'll be a pro at all of the concepts you'd never heard before
have fun! :D

i infodump about homestuck history and you pretend to listen
13th of april 2009 Andrew hussie releases the first few pages of the web comic Homestuck.People both commemorate it and celebrate it every year, commemoration of the day is typically ironic and satirical.
2010, After a whole year of viewers deciding the storyline of Homestuck, Andrew Hussie completely takes over, and the last reader request is taken.
2010,The most important and most recognizable part of the comic (act 5)begins. This is also when the Homestuck fandom begins to be considered “that” annoying fandom. this annoying fandom trope is also where the phrase “LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HOMESTUCK” originates from, this line was typically used to imitate Homestuck fans in a satirical mocking way, poking fun about their constant need to talk about Homestuck and the cult like following it had.
2011,Often referred to as a fandom legend, a still anonymous girl is mentioned in a Tumblr post to have ‘allegedly’ attempted to dye her skin grey for a Homestuck cosplay at anime expo, this was done in a hotel bathtub. She did this By ‘allegedly’ using a mixture of water, vodka, and sharpies, filling the bathtub with it and climbing in. This becomes a very important defining moment in fandom history, with many celebrating its anniversary every year.
Also taking place at the 2011 anime expo, Homestuck fandom members film the infamous YouTube video of people passing around a bucket and spitting in it (in the middle of a family restaurant). They do this with the intention of referencing a popular headcanon of troll reproduction.
These two anime expo events solidify the horrible reputation Homestuck fans would hold to this day.
2012 the Kickstarter for a Homestuck adventure game is started, making 2.5 million dollars.
In 2013 Andrew Hussie momentarily stops updating Homestuck, this time is known as the gigapause
2014,dashcon takes place it becomes widely known as the worst convention in fandom history, as well as the closest thing to a homestuck convention to ever happen.Theres many pictures of homestuck cosplayers in the famous urine-soaked ball pit at dashcon
Homestuck goes on its final pause in 2015, this pause doesn’t end until 2016 when the final pages of homestuck are released
2016,The worlds greatest literary mistake is almost over, homestuck is coming to a end.
Homestuck 2.0 is announced in 2016 and video games,a tv series books etc are promised None of these projects ever release, infact nothing EVER comes of ‘homestuck 2.0’.
2021,Andrew Hussie essentially abandons homestuck.
2023, homestuck is updated again in october.

The last post reminded me that I Did A Thing some time ago.
When I tried to draw a godtier Kankri, I understood that every Kankri in comic had different godtier palette. So I made a chart of every of them to compare. Then I did the same to some more godtiers and forgot about it until my friend tried to do a Terezi cosplay and asked about colours. The chart helped and was forgotten again.
TL;DR: I have some charts that help to analyze godtier colours and can be helpful in drawing, cosplaying, designing godtier pajamas etc.
Let's start with Mind one:
I have nothing else here to say except that I did Terezi's palette proportionally brighter because she stands in the dark in that flash. "Official palette" was a palette that I found in Wiki, but seems that they changed it to Latula's Collide sprite's.

need help finding a homestuck post
Greetings good tumblrfolk!
I am seeking a tumblr post/chain/whatever from somewhere in the 2010's depicting a conga-line of andrew hussies dancing to the tune of "In De Conga Line" by Spice.
I had it bookmarked but the blog appears to have been deactivated, and I haven't been able to find it after a good 30 minute blog of looking.

I keep seeing very large homestuck books at a local store, is this a good way to get into the series or are the books not the same as the orginal? (whatever the orginal was/is)
the original was a webcomic in which almost every image was a moving gif, or a short animation with music, and lots of the scenes were even playable minigames; unfortunately you wouldnt be able to experience any of that with the books :(
the books are more collector’s items because they contain (extremely spoilery) author commentary. they’re sort of like the bonus features you’d get with the blu-ray, not really how you’d want to get into the original material itself.
if youre looking for a way to get into homestuck, the downloadable collection is by far the best way, since all the games actually work in it, and it has lots of great bonus features to hide spoilers
i hope that helps! :]

the first act of homestuck simplified (poorly)
background information
>the first page of act 1 was released on the 13th of April 2009
>the last page of act 1 was released on the 7th of June 2009
>act 1 has 247 pages and 10563 words in total (not including ?? the 2032 words in the gifs and images that go alongside the comic) source
>the words 'you' and 'john' are used interchangeably throughout homestuck so that's how i use them here.
Act 1
beginning of act 1
>it is Johns 13th birthday. 'you', john, examine your bedroom and then make the choice to retrieve your arms from your drawer
>the concept of a 'sylladex' is introduced as essentially an inventory used by john to store various items. you store or 'captchalogue' your arms in your sylladex. the items in your sylladex are displayed as cards stacked on top of each other, only the top card (the most recently added item) can be equipped. to equip a item further to the back of your stack you must equip all other items until your desired item has reached the top of your stack. if your sylladex exceeds a maximum of 4 items the last item will be consequentially pushed out of your sylladex and will land on the floor.
>you then captchalogue smoke pellets, as well as a hammer and some nails with the intention of hanging up a poster you had received for your birthday.
>you merge the cards 'nails' and 'hammer' in your sylladex, creating a card that includes both items. this opens a space back up in your inventory.
>you use this card to nail your poster to the wall. while looking at the wall you take notice of your calendar that marks both your birthday, and the release date of a game titled sburb.
>youre messaged by one of your friends and informed that your copy of sburb has likely arrived. you examine your mail box from the window excitedly.
>after being pestered by your friends online you eventually make the decision to check your mail. but you realize dad has already brought the mail inside. you confront him and after a messy battle you manage to distract him and escape with your mail as well as dads pda.
>you open your packages to reveal your long awaited copy of the game sburb. you and your friend rose are exited to begin to play and find out what its all about.
>two other packages of yours are still out of your reach as they are locked in your dads car
>you and rose begin your first game of sburb
>rose takes control of johns environment through sburb, almost as if they are playing the sims. she is able to add items to his room, and change the width and length of his house
>rose places multiple in game items including alchemy equipment. this equipment emits a large ball of light. this is referred to as a kernelsprite. a kernelsprite can absorb items around it, these items will affect the kernelsprites looks and behaviors.
>the kernelsprite accidentally absorbs johns destroyed Harley Quinn doll, taking on the appearance of a one armed and one eyed jester.
>all of a sudden a meteor is heading towards johns house.
>rose is extremely unhelpful in helping john avoid this meteor as her internet connection cuts in and out. this shitty connection causes her to drop items and struggle to help john move on to the next step of the game and avoid said meteor.
>eventually after a lot of struggle, rose is able to spawn a tree in johns environment that bears blue apples. john takes a bite of a blue apple, and him as well as his home are transported out of the way of the meteor just before it could strike. a crater is left where his house stood before.
End of act 1
