whoo boy #1 Homestuck fan, move aside bitches

The funny thing I had no intention of EVER reading Homestuck. A close friend of mine (SevenDeadlySins) suggested I read over 2 years ago(?), with the intent of getting me hooked. If you've heard of Homestuck, you've probably thought of reading at least one page. You've seen that one page, that shit is boring and dumb looking... right? Well, i mean yeah. To be honest, the early parts of Homestuck are nothing special (though if you re-read it after catching up like I did, you'll come to appreciate a bunch of little things). Homestuck slowly builds from being an ok story and turns into a phenomenal story. Act 5 (there are 6 acts total) is arguably one of the best things i've ever read. Like... I think my life marginally got better after reading that act... isn't that insane? Damn right it is, but I don't care that's just how Homestuck rolls. It's hard to describe what makes Homestuck good, but if you're fan of "great" (yeah GREAT) pop culture jokes, compelling & awesome characters and interesting plot points (closest approximation would be sci-fi) then i'd give it a go. And at its core, its just really fucking funny.
It's a massive commitment though. There are like 6000+ panels and 100 000 of thousands of words you need to read...
I would watch this video if you're somewhat interested in reading Homestuck:

Fun facts:
Our fanbase is rabid. Seriously, lots of cosplayers and people who use Homestuck avatars... you've probably exposed to but I can't think of anyone atm...?
The Homestuck Kickstarter game managed to raise 2.4 million dollars (one of the top 10 kickstarters of all time~money wise). That's some serious BANK.
Andrew Hussie (the author) is actually a composite life form. They say he never sleeps.
Homestuck will I warn you about the stairs bro!!
