I don't think many people on IDOJ are Homestucks, but I thought I'd create this anyways. For those of you who don't know, Homestuck is a vastly popular webcomic written by Andrew Hussie. It's got action, adventure, romance, the apocalypse, crazy video games, randomness, fourth wall breaking, astro-metaphysics crap, time travel, interactive flash games, and cliffhangers. Cliffhangers EVERYWHERE. It's kinda written in the style of a choose-your-own-adventure game, but there's only ever one option, that goes to the next page. It's very funny, very exciting, and very intense at times. It can get convoluted as hell but you read it anyways and eventually it makes some sort of sense.

The fandom is insane and mostly tumblr-based. Don't get into the fandom.

Here's another description, one of my favorites (but contains spoilers):

Spoiler

"So, what is Homestuck? Here’s the most common and least accurate summary you’re likely to get: it’s a story about four kids who play a magic videogame.

To be more precise, Homestuck is a multimedia internet drama about thirty four teenagers spread across two sets of universes, all of them trapped together in convoluted chains of time, space and authorial fiat in an unending nightmare quest to figure out what went wrong with each of their respective universes’ attempt to create all the other universes.

Imagine if Chuck Palahniuk and Ursula Le Guin wrote His Dark Materials via parking lot shopping cart jousting match, then got 4chan to stage the broadway musical.

God is a pack of snarky thirteen year olds. Satan is three kinky puppets and an alien clown with daddy issues. Everyone is their own grandmother. The writer shows up in the comic itself to give the fourth wall double middle fingers, and the big bad is Betty Crocker. It’s a story about love and hope and friendship, but mostly it’s a comic about a pack of juvenile shitheads being complete dicks to each other over the intergalactic internet."

FINALLY another Homestuck!! I've been waiting forever!!! *figures you've been left hanging long enough and high fives*

I was just about to post something here when I saw it had a reply! Yay!!

Anyway, I just wanted to leave this here:

Homestuck Quiz

This gives you a Sburb title and aspect. It seems to be the widely accepted best god tier quiz out there.

I am a Sylph of Life!!

[Beks]

No way! I'm a Sylph of Life too! At least in that quiz. I took this really extensive one on tumblr that includes non-canon aspects and titles that says I'm the Monk of Blaze, but canon-wise, I'm Sylph of Life.

BUT THAT UPD8

OMG

[Chompyzilla]

I'm getting there. I made it to act 5 act 2
Whatever that means.

[~~Megan~~]

alksdjkadfj omg you're pretty much in the best part of Homestuck in my opinion. Act 5 Act 2 is the best. It's the most exciting, the most action-packed, and has the most character interaction. Plus the Act 5 finale ([S] Cascade) is one of the most epic animations in Homestuck. I can't wait for you to get caught up so we can discuss stuff!!

[Chompyzilla]

me and my friends have been reading it together
We are at most 20 pages apart.

I love how he plans out stuff like this thousands of pages apart

[~~Megan~~]

Hahahaha Hussie is the BEST about stuff like that. He has a pretty low record of continuity errors, and a huge list of amazing mobius double-reach-arounds. Wait until you get caught up, there's some seriously awesome stuff going on right now.
