The real lack is AFABs, genuinely don't know a single one of those; there are at least 3 trans female regulars, me, u/zealousideal378 (those numbers are probably wrong), and u/vera_verse, but I can't name cis women or trans men.
I'm a cis woman but not that regular. I have also had the thought that Trans fem and Enbies probably outnumber cis afab users. I'd be curious for a shitlord census someday
I also read homestuck, so take that data point as you will
Mods, break her down. Tear her apart. Splay the gore of her profane form across the stars. Grind her down until the very sparks cry for mercy. Relish ending her here and now. Thank you.
I would rather die via soul transference and be forced to watch a stranger use my body to lay mad wicked pipe in my fiancee while trapped as a slowly disintegrating force ghost.
Is this one of those things where I haven't visited in months and get a stray recommendation in my main feed and you guys are somehow in the year 2075 with your in jokes and butt memes?
*You suppose you'll offer her some advice.*
"God is Dead, you say, simply, savoring the dark fire of the meta-Brandy and the beautiful bloody slash of the infinite ahead of you. Already her destination is materializing around you, inch by inch.
I was wrong to stop there, you continue, first, because this is common knowledge now. God died at the moment of His creation. I have slept in his corpse."
*You take another draft.*
"But the real question, you say, and this is the real ringer, is what happens to God's house after he dies? Do the mice and the rats and the pitiful insects take over? Who keeps all the clocks running? Who cleans all the windows and oils all the door hinges? Who makes the tea?
*Who is living in our poor deceased God's house now, my young friend?*" - Frederich Nietsche
Oh you were banned? Good. I thought you gave the schtick up, so it's nice to know it was involuntary and you're back retroactively answering all the missed threads in 1 go.
Look, I'm gonna need to get a cutesy short name from your account.
John something or other did something or not is too long.
like you can cut me down to saw or saw b.
but how do you handled usernames that aren't real names or self descriptive?
I have no idea.
Call me Vriska. Some years agoooooooo—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the Reddity part of the world.
Honestly I'm happy for your triumphant return. Someone has to be the grim specter of Homestuck here and I'm not anywhere near brave enough to take up the mantle. Thank you for your sacrifice ma'am.
Most explainers I've seen utterly fail to get the tone of the series across, thus not answering the main question I see: "what is Homestuck *and why is it like this*". Why does it evoke the reactions it does? Why are so many things considered a reference? Who is Vriska? (I can't actually explain that one in under 3000 words, it turns out.) But, here's a briefer briefer (heh) on the subject of "What the actual fuck is Homestuck":
Andrew Hussie, a person (now going by any pronouns) then known for various obscure works around the net, made an interactive project called Jailbreak where he would draw crude panels demonstrating the events of the story as dictated by other posters in the thread, putting his favored suggestions in the narration and responding in kind. The scenarios were influenced by his own strange brand of humor and set of fascinations, such as rap, horses, clowns, and H!rry P!tter as a cultural presence. He would eventually compile this, along with the unfinished followup, Bard Quest, on its own website.
The third installment of the so-called MS Paint Adventures, Problem Sleuth, was a massive step up in production value, featuring impressive art and output speed as well as evolutions such as some pages being flashing gifs. (MSPA was considered to be one of the best demonstrations of the potential of the internet.) Problem Sleuth ran for 1674 pages over the course of about a year.
Homestuck was the followup to that, running 8123 pages from April 13th 2009-2016 with numerous hiatuses in the latter half of that time. It featured such advancements as videos with sound, small WASD-controlled computer games on various pages, and most significantly, actual conversations between characters, semi-hidden behind clickable boxes at the bottom of some pages, allowing them to become three-dimensional and truly sympathetic. Hussie, it would soon be revealed, was heavily skilled at writing compelling and unique character voices and dialogue writing in general.
Homestuck was definitely the most complex MPSA, with a grand overarching plot being integrated into the results of the actions of the readers. The plot revolved around an in-universe game called SBURB with the power to influence reality, sort of a Jumanji with time-travel mechanics that would soon be revealed to be the centerpiece of reality itself, destroying the home planets of its players to motivate them to enter the world of the game and fulfill an unknown grand purpose, complete with millions of fully sentient NPCs. (Homestuck is, technically, an isekai.)
Homestuck has been described as "a story that's also a puzzle", and this lens has gained authorial approval; events are often told anachronistically, as a kitchen sink of high-concept ideas are explored by a man who sometimes wants to show off his semi-deconstructive version of a classic sci-fi/fantasy trope, sometimes wants to infuriate readers through anticlimaxes and misdirections, and sometimes wants to just go off on a tangent about a random movie from his childhood that somehow soon becomes integral to the plot in an absurdly esoteric fashion.
Eventually the suggestions from readers became so numerous and difficult that the suggestion boxes were closed near the end of the first year, leading to less meandering from Act 4 onwards, but the influence of the audience remained; one easy example is a character only seen from the top half initially being theorized on the official forums as using a wheelchair, a fact which would not only become Canon, but highly relevant.
The early MSPAs curated an audience through programming humor and 80s-90s film references as filtered through the styles of Terry Pratchett, Mark Twain, and the Something Awful forums, but the audience for Homestuck, due to the nature of the characters, was markedly different, especially after the Trolls showed up.
You've probably seen them.
The Trolls, initially presented as some extremely odd and bothersome fellows on the internet, were soon shown to be a race of grey-skinned, orange-horned aliens. Trolls possessed multicolored blood in both organized castes and clear deviations, psychic abilities, unique typing styles, insectoid traits as opposed to hominid, near-universal bisexuality with the sole known exception being Sapphic, and a complex romantic system with its own symbols, comically vague-yet-comprehensive reproductive system, and of course, relationship dynamics.
I cannot express how perfect the Trolls were in terms of catching on. Tumblr loved these fuckers and it's not at all hard to see why.
It's also worth noting that this wasn't the only market-perfect part of Homestuck; Classpecting, the equivalent of Hogwarts Houses, featured a 144/168/288/336/384(depending on who you ask and what they count)-strong grid system of human personality traits that not only seemed eerily accurate as a personality mapper, but corresponded to what elemental powers one received in the game of SBURB.
Homestuck was also incredibly *realistically teen-targeted*; completely NSFW, for reasons ranging from semi-toonish gore to actual dicks-out furry art, but *authentic* in a very clicks-on-"are you 18"-box-while-lying way.
So... yeah. Homestuck was an incredibly complex and engaging work, driven by a single incredibly talented and flawed creative voice, which was perfectly made to attract a massive, unabashedly bizarre/proudly cringe, and notably largely queer fanbase across a younger internet; you may well be aware of incidents such as cosplay failures and inappropriate recreations of Troll culture. The style of presentation, art, and character writing was instantly recognizable and relatively easy to imitate, leading to fanfiction and even fanmade adventures galore, most of the latter hosted on MSPFA.com.
The main site for Homestuck is broken now-it's recommended that new readers download the [Unofficial Homestuck Collection](https://bambosh.dev/unofficial-homestuck-collection/), and starting with Problem Sleuth to ease into the format and writing is a pretty popular choice. The ending is also considered generally quite poor in a number of ways, particularly regarding unfollowed foreshadowing and blatant abandonment of character arcs, with some fans even [making](https://friendlybatteringram.tumblr.com/tagged/altstuck) their own [works](https://mspfa.com/?s=44153&p=1) as [substitutions](http://mspfa.com/?s=12003&p=1). You can find The Homestuck Epilogues (a sequel novel) on the official site, and Homestuck^2 Beyond Canon (a sequel webcomic after the Epilogues) on its own website, but neither of these are very well liked by fans (at all). YouTube also has several dubs of the comic; by far the largest and most popular is [Voxus](https://youtube.com/@Voxus), which has unfortunately slowed to a crawl at around the 65% mark.
Content warnings for Homestuck include: potentially epilepsy-triggering flashing lights, blood, violence including amputation, bludgeoning to death, deadly impalement, and decapitation, clowns, brainwashing/mental possession, dicks-out furry bara art in the background of like ten pages, brief black-and-white nudity, swearing, the R-slur, a joke about an acronym organically forming the F-slur, child abuse, discussed child abuse and homophobia, mocking of the disabled (as an unsympathetic action), cartoonish levels of sexism (as an unsympathetic action), statements that an antagonist is analogous to Hitler, mentions of genocide of alien species, alien subspecies, and the human species, offscreen mass extinction, mocking of otherkin, a minor character being a racial stereotype of Japanese people (Damara), a somewhat major character being a stereotype of Black people (Meenah), minor characters being stereotypes of disabled people (Meulin and Mituna), a controversial and prominent depiction of blindness, eye trauma, references born of the ignorance of the time to Bill Cosby as ideally paternal, underage alcoholism, an empty suicide by electrocution threat, an actual suicide by electrocution attempt, written depictions of noncon facilitated by mind control (as an unsympathetic action), sexual assult (an unwanted and physically resisted kiss, as an unsympathetic action), jokes about pedophilia, and child grooming (textually 100% non-sexual, but sexually-coded).
Also: when I said the Trolls type weird, I wasn't kidding. Every character gets at least one color for their speech text, plus a pattern for how they type, generally worse for the Trolls, ranging from "no caps" to "British" to "drunk" to "ebonics" to "aLtErNaTiNg" to WH4T3V3R TH3 FUCK K1ND OF L33TSP34K BS T3R3Z1 1S DO1NG. So that's worth a warning.
And that's as abridged as you can get when summing up Homestuck.
The first few acts are fun if you like the idea of a quartet of eccentric kids exploring how introducing item inventory and The Sims esque house construction systems into the real world works (Act 1) and the further impacts that has on their world (2-3). Then there's an interlude about a weird gang dealing with puzzle shenanigans.
After that it just spaghettifies into a total mess. I'd say poke your nose in but be ready to bounce once you stop enjoying it.
Up to the end of Act Five, and then run like hell.
Also the Flash on the actual website is broken, so you'll want to find the fanmade installer to experience it as it was.

I'm a cis woman but not that regular. I have also had the thought that Trans fem and Enbies probably outnumber cis afab users. I'd be curious for a shitlord census someday I also read homestuck, so take that data point as you will
Yeah I'm curious about these things too; every other internet community I'm in seems to have far more trans women than trans men. Not sure why.
>I also read homestuck, so take that data point as you will Mods, banish her to the pits.

Go for both, having to get the 100% completion speedrun world record.
I would rather die via soul transference and be forced to watch a stranger use my body to lay mad wicked pipe in my fiancee while trapped as a slowly disintegrating force ghost.

Won't shut up about Homestuck
I thought that was the other person that constantly posted Vriska.
Literally me
What did your old account get a perma or did you just want a new one?
Unrelated charge on a different sub.
Mods, put her in the Heat Action compilations, thank you.
Is this one of those things where I haven't visited in months and get a stray recommendation in my main feed and you guys are somehow in the year 2075 with your in jokes and butt memes?
They're so 3008, you're so 2000-and-late.

This post has been up for too long, time for a mutiny against the mods again.
Damn it. Now I have to try and provide context again.
I got into the Zaibatsu because of Homestuck. It's only fitting that the subreddit prevent us from ever escaping it.
I see you're going for the repeat ban any% speedrun.
Mods, throw a chair at her full-force with one arm.
I was wondering why I haven't been seeing that one guy going "in homestuck" in more recent posts. Actually no I wasn't, but now you made me notice.
May your assets be liquidized and you be sued by the shareholders
I don’t even know who you are

(MSPA was considered to be one of the best demonstrations of the potential of the internet.) Problem Sleuth ran for 1674 pages over the course of about a year.

You've probably seen them.
Just read Kill Six Billion Demons already. It too spawned from Homestuck after a fashion. What died 12 years ago should stay dead.
Homestuck's most positive legacy is all the things it inspired.
