Homestuck

[KChan King's Wit]

Anyone here read Homestuck? I'm almost caught up now, and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. When I first started reading it, I wasn't really sure if I'd like it, but I got more and more into it as the story progressed. One of these days, I would like to get a group together to cosplay all of the trolls. Allllllll of them. :::

I haven't heard of it, what is it? Is it a book? Your description sounds like a book.

[Zayde Pahn Kahl]

It's MSPaint Adventures. Which I guess would be kind of like a webcomic. I've read the first 30 or so pages of Homestuck. I liked what I read but haven't really had the time to read much of it.

One of my friends is a big fan of Homestuck and would probably love the idea of doing a group cosplay.

Little late to the party, but Kchan has me to blame for Homestuck XD. Love it, all insanely-long-page-count of it.

It's a webcomic, but it also has video game elements in it. There are several soundtracks, the prompts to go to the next page are reminiscent of old text-based RPGs, and you can actually play certain pages. Just like a video game. It's definitely worth looking into.

Done and done. Now to cast the other ten...

Finally got around to sinking my teeth into Homestuck and it is quite amazing. I've still got to get through Part 2 of Act 5 though.

I totally call dibs on Sollux if this ever happens and I can commit to it.

[KChan King's Wit]

Yeah, I'm still wading through Act 5 myself. Schoolwork kind of killed my ability to sit around and read webcomics all day.

And can you make it to Otakon? I'm thinking that's the most likely place for this to happen.

[Zayde Pahn Kahl]

Unfortunately, I'm limited to cons in the Central Florida area. I'm pretty certain I'll be going to MegaCon in the spring, but other than that, I can't really travel that far. In-state cons I might be able to go to, but it all depends on how fast my student loan money runs out since I'm a slacker and haven't gotten a job yet. ><

[KChan King's Wit]

Wait wait wait. Hold the phone. You're going to Megacon? I don't think we can get the full group for Mega (the only con Kuri and I have in common is Ota, currently), but there definitely needs to be a 17S meetup. I'm almost positive I can throw Vriska together for spring.

[Zayde Pahn Kahl]

I went last year as Quail-Man, but only on Saturday. I had a lot of fun.

I'm definitely going on Saturday with my friends as Terra from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep if my friend manages to finish our keybaldes and helps me with my costume. If I go any other days or our Aqua, Terra, Ventus cosplay doesn't work out, I'll totally do Sollux. =D

[KChan King's Wit]

And if nothing else, you'll recognize me! :: Um, kind of. XD

[Zayde Pahn Kahl]

So, about that Act 5 ending... o_o

[Kuri Shardweaver Obligator]

Dogtier ftw~

[KChan King's Wit]

Act 5, you said?

Holy crap. Holy CRAP. HOLY CRAP.

That is all.

[FeatherWriter Knight Radiant]

Wow. I totally just came to this board to start a homestuck thread, and lo and behold, there's already one here. I just read it a few weeks ago and I'm glad I'm caught up now.

I don't know about cosplaying though. I've never been to a con or cosplayed before. 1F 1 D1D THOUGH, 1'D PROB4BLY H4V3 TO P1CK MY P4TRON TROLL, T3R3Z1.

And the EOA blew my mind. Seriously.

[KChan King's Wit]

It was meant to be! Also, I made my first purchase for Vriska while shopping for the Alloy party. This is gonna be a fun costume.

[Zayde Pahn Kahl]

I still haven't done any work on Sollux. I haven't even done any work on my Terra costume... Megacon is going to be coming up real fast soon and I don't know if I'm going to have anything ready. =(

[FeatherWriter Knight Radiant]

So does anyone here read any of the Homestuck AU's? I've been following Marchingstuck, Promstuck, and John Egbert and the Goblet of Sick Fires for a while. Also, please tell me that I'm not the only one who spends way too much time looking up dumb fan videos on youtube. Like this one.

Or this one:

I prefer..

Seeing an image of Doc Scratch at a rave party just made my night. Thank you.

[FeatherWriter Knight Radiant]

You should see him as the head chaperone of the AHS prom. Reminds me, I need to keep reading promstuck!

[Kuri Shardweaver Obligator]

Seeing an image of Doc Scratch at a rave party just made my night. Thank you.

Happy to oblige! I think my favorite parts were DJ Dave, and the Subootylator.

And Feather: As chaperons go, he's simply the best?

Absolutely.

Hot diggity, the God Tier level-up graphics are trippy! Someone's having fun with the special effects. XD

[Deoradhan Spearman]

Oh, cool, Homestuck thread

Also, there is a new flash as of yesterday. Act 6 thus far has been amusing, and full of callbacks to previous acts. That said, 4/13 is coming up - I wonder what will happen
