hello homestuck noobs and old hats who forgot, I wanted to make a post with some links for newcomers to get into homestuck, along with tags to follow and maybe other things!
1. where to read homestuck
right now the homestuck website is broken, but there are a few alternate ways to read. here are my two favorite==>
MS Paint Adventures anywhere you go!
2. what are epilogues and where are they?
after homestuck ended, the creator of homestuck and some fans wanted to ruminate on fandom and canonicity, so the epilogues and later homestuck^2 were created. the epilogues are in the same place as homestuck, and homestuck^2 is right here==>
An official continuation of Homestuck.
3. are there videogames? are they canon?
there are video games and some of them are basically canon! here is a list==>
Get the complete Homestuck franchise in one convenient bundle. Adventure games! Visual novels! It's got it all! (Provided your definition of
4. upd8
#upd8 is what to tag when there are homestuck news, an update to any homestuck property, or something along those lines. homestuck^2 update spoilers are tagged with upd8 must of the time, so blocking that tag is a great way to stay away from spoilers.
5. who is june egbert?
john egbert is a trans woman (no she does not come out in the original comic) because hussie thought it fit the character, as well as because of a Toblerone challenge thing. egbert doesn't have an official name change, we all just decided june for some fucking reasonEDIT:look in replies for june origins I guess???
6. FRAF and other fandom spaces
we have a forum up and running with fan made content and Easter eggs, it's fraf, which stands for fruity rumpus asshole factory. there is also MSPFA (MS Paint Fan Adventures), where people can read and make their own fan adventures! a lot of discord servers are around too, but those are a little more intuitive to find so I won't link any just yet.
Hello, welcome to the bath house
7. what are the good homestuck bloggers?
none of us! or all of us. tbh if you scroll around you'll get to know who has the good takes. idk why I made this section
these are just a few things I thought I could put together, idk if it's any help, but welcome to the fandom
