196's favorite piece of media:
I have tried several times to get started with Homestuck and instead I end up re-reading the previous story Problem Sleuth it's shorter but still an epic!
I followed it while it was being made and it was a rollercoaster ride, so Homestuck can only be wilder and more epic.
Problem Sleuth is honestly a lot better
What, you don't like the 40 page chat log with a single gif above it where we find out that, yep, these are still kids doing things that are easily beyond most people? You go to the next page and it's another one. But this one has clowns /s
Problem Sleuth is amazing, though.
Man, I loved the beginning of Homestuck. But the second half of Homestuck starts to get a little too convoluted for my tastes, and then it decides to go up its own ass about how convoluted it has become and then intentionally becomes a parody of itself to the detriment of its own story. And then it has a sudden and anticlimactic nothingburger ending after literal years of waiting. Bleh. What could have been.
Problem Sleuth is sick tho. Honestly THAT was Andrew Hussie's magnum opus. Homestuck was like when George Lucas made the prequels and nobody was allowed to say "no" to him, lol.
You can't stop the Homestuck!
I'm calling the NLRB this is fuckin oppressive
