Ok so last sentimental post before the upd8 as I have to work eventually.
Homestuck means so much to so many of us and I think that’s freaking incredible. I can honestly say I wouldn't recognize myself or my life without it just because of the chain reaction it caused. I start a new job in two weeks that will actually allow me to save for retirement and without Homestuck, I wouldn’t have it. The only reason I even thought to apply there is because one of my best friends today read Homestuck and I found him on a dating site and we bonded over it. Now I’m moving several states away to go stay with him and start my career. Hell, without Homestuck I might never have become a feminist. I joined tumblr specifically because that’s where large portions of the fanworks were posted and I inadvertently was exposed to feminism and intersectionality. I learned about racism and abelism and became both more politically and socially aware. Holy shit I discovered my SEXUALITY because of a homestuck fanfiction! I learned about asexuality and demisexuality and for the first time in my life I was given context to my romantic and sexual relationships. I know Homestuck isn’t directly responsible for any of these things but it is really cool to consider just how much it’s affected so many people and idk. I kind of love that. Four for you homestuck, you go homestuck.
