In Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, Luke Skywalker is seen harvesting and drinking the milk of an unknown creature. This is a subtle reference to his character being milked for every penny it was once worth.

Have you ever asked yourself: “What does the skunk say?” unmute to find out

what a good and respectful wildlife interaction, from both sides!

I fell asleep in a field once and woke up with skunk kits bouncing around me and I don’t know that I’ve ever been more scared of any wildlife I’ve come across.

Kudos to the cyclist for keeping calm enough to record this.

we will never be free

You know what? We all like to hee haw about Homestuck being bad and everything, but I legitimately was never as happy and enthralled with a work of fiction as I was when Homestuck was consistently updating

dyscomancer

I think we lost ourselves in the prevalence of cringe culture at the time and didn’t appreciate just what a marvel of modern storytelling Homestuck really was while everyone was busy laughing at the kids who painted themselves grey.

If you think about the sheer enormity of it and the attention span of the average person, it is an honest to god miracle that Homestuck found any traction at all; but it did, because it told an interesting story about relatable characters in a completely alien setting and did so with unique, pioneering storytelling methods.

dyscomancer

I honestly think that Homestuck should be widely hailed and praised for being the first story to properly use chatspeak and the widely misunderstood nuance of how people communicate on the internet. This is very appropriate, because Homestuck is a work that cannot exist in its entirety anywhere else except for the internet.

Anyone who has been on the web for more than a few years can tell you that there is a lot of subtext to text-only communication. We had to develop this subtext because it’s difficult to convey emotions without the use of audible speech. As silly as it sounds, the difference between “:3″ and “;3″ is huge and should be noted for anyone trying to understand how people on the internet ‘speak’ to each other.

Homestuck got that. The late 2000s/early 2010s were brimming with a bunch of corporate attempts at storytelling that tried to relate to kids with onslaughts of l33tspeak and dropping hundreds of instances of “omg” all over the place. Kids and teens aren’t stupid, they can very easily tell something is inauthentic.

Homestuck wasn’t like that. It was entirely authentic. It was written by someone who had first hand experience with not only the surface level of the internet’s communication stylings; Hussie knew about the intricacy that could be found in such simple things as capitalization, italicizing, bolding, changing colors, emoticons, and line breaks. He used that to make each and every individual character feel real in their chat dialogue, which is ordinarily a medium that some perceive to be counteractive to emotional communication.

I could go on for ages because I unironically adore this comic, but basically what I’m trying to say is that Homestuck’s greatest asset is a sense of authenticity that is very clearly perceivable by the target audience. Maybe that will fade over the years, but for someone who was 14 in 2009, it was perfect. It was one of the first times I felt that a story was written for me, a person who mostly grew up fucking around on the internet.

We can talk about the plot, simple even in its complexity. We can talk about the aesthetic appeal of the comic. We can talk about the cosplaying community, the music, the interactive panels, the plot twists, the drama, everything. All of this contributes to HS being an incredible piece of work, but it would not have been the same if the characters spoke in speech bubbles or audibly.

Homestuck was a pioneer of how the internet could not only carry stories told in other mediums, but how it could be a unique storytelling medium of its very own. I think that’s amazing, and I think it should be appreciated.
