A Homestuck Retrospective

Remember when I used to do gifs?

It was a wild time.

Sometimes silly.

Sometimes sad.

Sometimes weirdly flirty.

 Sometimes embarrassing.

And sometimes intense.

So on my most Homestuck of birthdays, I hope you, too, look back at your past as fondly as I do.  Merry 4/13 to all and to all a good night.

OPM phone pics from Animazement~ I’m so excited I got to be Genos with @coneyinacap‘s Saitama and @catdoom‘s Sonic!

<3

That time I was a strong egg. 

I am so so happy I got achieved this costume. It’s not exactly high difficulty level, but Saitama is such a very important character to me. I had a blast doing this make up, and I ams SO HONORED that @kitty-maru and @catdoom wore their tremendous outfits with mine. Thank you so much, ladies, it made my weekend. <3 Next time, we wear it longer (if we can).

[catdoom]

Thanks for letting me join in with you guys, this was so much fun!

Oh hey, there's me as Jasperosesprite^2

[catdoom]

And here's what I wore Friday at Katsucon: Jasperosesprite^2 and Princess Bubblegum (outfit from Pajama Wars)

[catdoom]

Saturday at Katsucon: Disgust from Inside Out and Speed of Sound Sonic from One Punch Man

[catdoom]

Neocon selfies so far. I forgot to wear the face tentacles for Jasperosesprite^2 and the scarf for Disgust, so I guess I'll be rewearing these at Katsu.

Also I guessed early twenties when I met you, but I also met you at your house so that's part of it

:D The true way to get people to guess my age as “adult”. Or I could just say “I live alone at my house and I have a career.” I remember seeing you at (I think it was) Otakon 2013, but I knew you were Ri’s older, college aged sister, so that took some of the guesswork out of it.

(Edit: Also haven't figured out how to respond to replies, but you're right, it was probably 2012 because craft nights started at the end of that year. The Otakons just blur together.)

[catdoom]

I'll be staying at my dad's house, so that sounds absolutely wonderful.

Yay! I’m slowly but surely cleaning up the cosplay crunch mess from my last couple cons, so hopefully it will be cleanish by the time you get here. :D

[catdoom]

Yaaaaay! :D im not ready for Otakon yet but im excited to see people there :D I have decided this Otakon will be awesome and I will let nothing stand in my way! muahahaha

I'm actually taking a break from Otakon this year, so you won't see me :((( My next con is Nekocon (do you ever come to that one, I don't remember) and then Katsu next year.

YEAH I was trying to remember if it was a barstuck or not... I might have still been wary though LOL. I've been wrong too many tiiiimes *shakes fist at the sky* It is very nice to have fellow oldstucks uvu It's just nice to have someone in the same age group who understands the same Life Woes and peer friendship and yaaaay

:D I think I tend to try reserve judgement on people's age in cosplay because I know I (and so many of my friends) don't look my age in cosplay. And I love meeting fellow oldstucks, that's the only reason I go to barstucks, since I don't drink. Yay for being able to commiserate with adults in a fandom of so many teenagers.

[catdoom]

OKAY SO When we first met I thought you were like 16 or 17 I think? I'm trying to remember, it wasn't that long ago but I guess it kinda was? Hahaha. But I've started to guess low for everyone now. AND THEN I found out otherwise and was even more excited to befriend you :D <3

Now I'm trying to remember when we met...probably 2012 or 2013, so I would have been 23-24. It must have been a barstuck because I don't ever remember thinking you were younger than than you are. Just tiny (teacup Karkat!). And I remember being so happy to meet a fellow oldstuck! :D

[catdoom]

19

Well, that's better than it used to be. (I'm 26.)

[frogmunist-deactivated20190724]

Tell me on anon how old you thought I was before you found out my age
