it’s so hard to comprehend the scale of homestuck….. people literally celebrate the anniversary of the day it began like a holiday. it spanned obama’s entire u.s. presidency. it raised a couple million on kickstarter. it crashed several hosting sites. it might as well be it’s own medium. it amassed a major presence on the internet and at cons yet it was never on tv or advertised or anything- just a comic drawn by some dude spreading through word of mouth. people are still reading and talking about it a year after it ended. it’s getting it’s own fucking game. it’s got a soundtrack with hundreds of songs spanning anything from nicolas cage saying “boner” to a goddamn symphony. this was supposed to be short but so was homestuck
You ever just wake up one day and thank god that Homestuck had its peak before Steven Universe, thus not allowing the existence of “HS-critical” blogs to flourish?
Imagine a 1000-word Tumblr post with the bolded title of “Is Vriska Ableist?”
// im gonna leave this here because homestuck is pissing me off again
that space game ive been wanting to get allows you to create your own solar systems and planets, so im like fuck it, im gonna make the troll planet(s). and my overachieving ass can’t just make the planet, no, i gotta read up on the canon info about the dim and dark seasons and “third autumn” or whatever the fuck, and try to figure out how this planet has these dim and dark seasons independent of spring, summer, etc, and how our standard four seasons can occur more than once a sweep. and of course ive gotta make a calendar to visualize all of this shit.
based on what i know about planets (because i actually am a nerd who watches space videos on youtube, it’s not just tuna saying that), my best guess so far has been that this planet has a pronounced axial tilt that wobbles very frequently. kind of like what a lot of people think about the Game of Thrones planet. i’m not too sure about the specifics yet, but the visual above is what i came up with last night.
today, i come back on here, and im like, “lemme look this up and see what planets do this in real life.” so i google it, and i read one article, and i go back to google, then i notice that most of the results are about the one same planet. then, i notice what theyre calling this planet.
