HONK. *cringe*
Ssssso what I have done this week is canned some cherries in an epic and poorly-planned canning party with my other not-hipster friends (we might be only our music is lame and our fashion sense sucks, except for the Fine Arts major who is probably actually a legit hipster now that I think about it), did a lot of schoolwork (well done me, getting almost five full weeks behind on my online course), and ignored chores until my room was covered in piles of clothes and the recycling was exploding out from under the sink. (I... fixed one of these two things tonight?) On the job front, I researched a ~shadowy oraganisation~ from my town’s history, dug through old maps to prove to some lady that if her house really is haunted it sure ain’t ‘cause it was built over a graveyard, and learned yet more ridiculous stuff about alcohol that I never thought I’d have to know. (My job rocks.)
Also, I finished all of Homestuck.
It took me four tried to get into Homestuck, I am really not kidding here. I could never get past all those ridiculous shenanigans with the arms and sylledex and it was ALL VERY CONFUSING, okay? But everyone seemed to like it so much, so periodically I’d go back and try again. AND THIS TIME I MADE IT. I got bogged down again when the story switched over to the trolls - some of those font-y affections made me want to claw my eyes out - and again when the kids and the trolls joined up - too many charecters! too many ways of typeing! can’t keep names/faces/chat handles/symbols/fonts all matched up in my head! - but by that point I had learned a VALUABLE LESSON IN PERSEVERANCE, and I made it through.
But now I have a problem, which is to say that I’ve reached the end of the available material. (Stupid open canons.) This is a good problem from the not-ignoring-my-chores perspective, but a not-so-good problem from the OMG MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT perspective. GUYS. How does this comic give me so many ~emotions~, I DO NOT KNOW.
Every time someone dies I get VERY DISTRAUGHT, there’s lots of air-clutching and wibbling and dismayed whimpering even though I know by now that practically everyone comes back. Also - Vriska? :( Half the time, I wanted to stab her myself, but then somehow... I really don’t want her to be really actually dead even though she appears to be... really quite very dead this time?
ALSO. TERRIFYING THINGS INCLUDE: GAMZEE, holy FUCK. I did not think the word “honk” could be so incredibly, incredibly terrifying. It was just - okay,
sophia_sol is going to laugh at me, not so much because it’s funny but because she’s heard this all before and it’s such iron-clad nightmare fuel for me - but the scariest fucking thing to me is to be trapped and to have something chasing you and to not be able to get away. All my nightmares as a child were about that, in one form or another. And they’re on this meteor and he’s hunting them down and they can’t stop him and there’s nowhere to run and by the end I was just cringing in my seat every time I saw the word “honk” and it was awfull and also sort of brilliant because I’ve never had a comic invoke that much genuine fear before!
THERE ARE TOO MANY CHARACTERS FOR ME TO ARTICULATE ME ~FEEEEEELINGS~ FOR ALL OF THEM, but rest assured I HAVE THEM INDEED!
Is there a Homestuck fandom? I know there’s lots of art - I’ve seen it around - but are people writing fic too, or whatnot? Anyone have any links and/or want to be excited about Homestuck with me for a while now? :D
