so many homestuck cosplayers at comicon
and most were like between 12 and 14????
like how??? I was first getting into it at that age, too, but that was when it was extremely popular. Like right around cascade.
The 17-20 year olds there were basically babysitting and the few 15-16 year olds were just sorta having a good time somewhere between the annoying preteens and the babysitting adults and I envied them
What got me the most was that the 12-14 year old ones know circa 2012 fandom songs. Like You Can’t Fight The Homestuck and The Twelve Trolls of Christmas. They were singing them. Was this passed down from older members of the fandom? If so, online or at cons? Did they discover them on their own?
The homestuck fandom hasn’t changed in all my years of reading this webcomic but I’ve changed and I completely expected for it to have changed with me. Like, I fully expected the meet up to be mostly 17-20 year olds reminiscing about the good ol days of the fandom, but there are these kids having the good ol days right now. They’re living it. The fandom didn’t die down, me and people I got into it with did, and that’s so weird to me.
This is actually kind of heartwarming in a strange way. It’s a multigenerational thing now and that is baffling to me. I always feared the fandom was going to extremely fade but new readers cycle in to replace the old who left and that makes me happy down in my cold dead soul. I hope with the upcoming (alleged) end this will only increase in the future.

my friend was going to get a boring skin but i convinced her otherwise.

Hello once again folks (another really busy day haha) Here’s some concept art and screenshots for an upcoming episodic adventure game by the creator of Homestuck, Andrew Hussie, and his indie dev studio What Pumpkin Studios called Hiveswap, a Homestuck based game.
Below you’ll be able to find some information about the upcoming game.
Hiveswap — Episodic Adventure Game Based on Hit Homestuck Webcomic — Will Debut This SpringFunded by $2.4M Kickstarter, sci-fi / fantasy Hiveswap will release in four Acts on PC, Mac, and Linux
NEW YORK - February 17, 2015 - What Pumpkin Studios is announcing that Hiveswap, a point-and-click adventure game based on the cult webcomic Homestuck, will debut this spring with the first of four episodes for PC, Mac, and Linux. The game’s development has been funded with proceeds from a $2.4M Kickstarter campaign completed in October 2012.
In Hiveswap, a young human girl named Joey gets sucked through a portal to the alien planet of Alternia. There, she joins a band of scrappy troll rebels and embarks on an epic journey to save the world and find a way home, discovering the true meaning of friendship along the way. This point-and-click adventure has 3D graphics, puzzle-solving gameplay, and an original story spanning four content-packed Acts that will release throughout 2015.
Hiveswap is a spin-off of Homestuck (http://mspaintadventures.com) — an irreverent, 7,500-page webcomic started by Andrew Hussie in 2009 to parody classic adventure games. Though it’s based on and loosely related to Homestuck canon, the Hiveswap adventure game has a completely self-contained story that does not require any familiarity with the webcomic.
"Homestuck itself has always been sort of a mock adventure game, one the reader ‘plays’ by navigating the story, but what started relatively simply has developed into a huge world with its own lore and backstory," says Hussie. "Bringing all this to an actual adventure game is a natural next step for the license — one we hope existing fans will love, but that should also appeal to anyone who enjoys the point-and-click style games I grew up playing, even if you’ve never heard of Homestuck."
Hiveswap is being developed in-house by Hussie’s production company, What Pumpkin Studios. The game will be shown to press for the first time at next month’s Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, with public demos to follow at Emerald City Comicon, Denver Comic Con, and other conventions this spring.

Hi sorry I just realized that in your university bed post the book you're holding is Ender's Game, one of my absolute favorites- you rock!! Also the bed thing itself is a brilliant idea, and the fairy lights are the perfect touch.
Man, I was waiting for someone to notice that! Major props. It's one of my favourite books too.
I've also got Good Omens, A Little Princess, and A Canticle for Liebowitz in there too. Just some of the favs.
Protip for yall dealing with those ugly, uncomfortable university-issued beds:
- Set the bedframe to the tallest height possible
- Shove that stupid plastic mattress underneath the bedframe, sheets and blankets and pillows and all
- take some window curtains/extra sheets and clip them to the sides of the bedframe, creating a canopy around the underside of the bed where your mattress is. Plug up holes where light may seep through underneath with extra towels, pillows.
- attach lots of pretty christmas lights to the underside of the bedsprings
- Cover the top of the bedframe (where the springs are) with dark towels. then, over the towels, put down random-ass hard surfaces, cardboard and planks of wood.
- You got yourself a flat, hard surface on the top of your bed. use it as desk space/storage space.
- Remember that mattress you stuck underneath the bed? that’s where you sleep.
congratulations. You have just constructed a fully functional, cozy little tent-nest where you can sleep and read and watch netflix and nap to your heart’s content.
Benefits:
- roommate wants to keep the lights on until 5am? no problem. just crawl into your warm, dark cocoon of leisure, close the canopy, and fall asleep in complete darkness.
- NO MORE BEDSPRING CREAKING
- all your storage can go on top of the bedframe, so everything is always within reach.
- people think it’s really cool so you will make friends
- friends who you can then invite into your little snuggly home and watch movies with
It’s really great and I highly recommend it 10/10
some clarification on what its gonna look like:
