Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

I've never read Homestuck but there's a type of media that I call "a Homestuck" and I think it's a useful categorization. The main criteria are:

long enough that the time investment is a serious barrier to entry

irrevocably changes your personality

brings something genuinely unique to the table. there is no real substitute for reading/playing/watching it in its entirety

Fate/Stay Night is a Homestuck. Worm is a Homestuck. When They Cry is a Homestuck.

Undertale has cultural impact similar to a Homestuck at first glance, but the fact that it's a pretty short and accessible game means that you don't get the particular mix of sunk cost fallacy and an intimate experience with a piece of media that results in you needing to connect with others who have already put in the time investment. You can buy your friends Undertale and expect them to play it if they're not too busy; telling a friend to read Homestuck is giving them a quest that, if accepted, will spark an odyssey. to read someone's Homestuck is an act of love without true equivalent.

As someone who has actually read the comic a couple times there is a couple more things I would add to the list and the the two main things are

1. Homestuck is one of those few media where to read the comic it is almost a necessity to familiarize yourselves with the fan base to get all what's going on the comic.

2. Homestuck is a product of it's time plus the fact that to understand homestuck you must be familiarize yourselves with how different things where back then in Fandom culture and in fanbases in general.

3. Homestuck is an original story with nothing like it around, something that had such massive hold on Fandom culture for so long that they became boogiemans of fanbases.

4. Homestuck also is one of the few pieces of media that once you familiarize yourselves with it you can not stop seeing it around you.

Problems and all, homestuck is still is one of those comics that are an experience, an current day odyssey, it’s fun has fun characters and while yea it’s starts rough and has a lot of moments that make you question the sanity of the creature that is Andrew hussie and yourself it still will bring light of a time and story that hate to say, define a generation.

This is a recommendation of homestuck and a warning. Lmao

"So what makes John so special? The answer is something I’m sure you’ve suspected all along but would rather not face, which is: probably nothing. He isn’t special. He’s quite ordinary, I assure you."
