homestuck, for all its insanity, still has the best quotes, my favorite being “the circle of stupidity is complete”
mine might be that one karkat rant like ‘your vehicle is parked squarely in the ‘nobody gives a fuck’ zone’
“Yes sir we are literally under siege by planet fucking Jupiter.”
“shit. let’s be santa”
“Strider fuck off, and by fuck off I mean fuck off right back over here you insufferable prick.”
“i’m 13 u egg”
“Well shit. That’s a hell of a mystery. No one thought was a mystery. And didn’t even really need solving. But damn if it didn’t just get solved. So nice work.”
“Oh, ha ha! If smug was a motorcycle, it just jumped over a fucking canyon. The crowd goes wild with dismay, and then commits mass suicide.”
“Dave are you talking through the little foam ass again?” “Sorry I can’t hear you through the little foam ass.”
“the thing about penis ouija is you can never be sure who drew the dicks
was it you or me or maybe a ghooooooost?”
Man, being blind is dumb, can I like grope you or something to get up to date on your appearance, would that be weird?
“PUT THOSE EYEBROWS BACK DOWN BEFORE MY HOT ACID RAGE BREATH BURNS THEM OFF”
“Shucks!!!!!”
“Hey, I’m upset about it too, but let’s watch the fucking language.”
“dude you arent listening. although a gay butterfly effect is a pretty funny idea lets not dismiss that as a concept altogether”

You want to hear how gross of an exaggeration it was? Because my post didn’t even do it justice.
It was March 2011 when the first semblances of Homestuck began to seep through the wood and metal of the convention circuit. The unsuspecting convention goers had absolutely no idea what they were in for as little groups of kids with grey makeup and orange candy corn horns started around the con halls. People were curious, hell I was curious, but that’s all it was. Morbid curiosity.
It was around the time [S] ==> Kanaya Return To The Core was released that people finally hitched on and started getting into it.
And dear god was it hell.
Homestuck completely invaded the convention circuit, bringing in crowds of people ages 11 to 31, and a majority of them were kids. There were meetups every month for every occasion at every place you could imagine. Homestucks started to completely take over convention halls to the point where the dealers room all but emptied out whenever a photoshoot started. Promstuck was established and became a cemented part of convention going. Gamzee’s flooded the con halls at one point after he went crazy and people tried to recreate sopor pies.
People were sitting in bathtubs trying to sharpie dye their skin grey. Karkat cosplayers were having actual literal buckets thrown at their heads. Nicki Minaj’s ‘Turn Me On’ was a national anthem that sparked a music video. Children screaming ‘Fuckass’ in the hallways as they got their unsealed paint all over the walls and floors. There was at least one hundred Dave cosplayers at every photoshoot, and Photoshoots looked like this:
You see that Squarewave in the middle of the group? That’s me controlling the crowd around me. You want another example? Here:
That Kanaya with the cape in the middle is also me. Not good enough for you? How about this:
This was convention Homestuck. This was true nightmare. If you saw a horde of Homestucks coming at you, you fucking ran. There were literally hundreds of Homestucks back in 2011.
A video of a group of cosplayers sitting in a restaraunt, passing around a bucket and spitting in it caused outrage for everyone.
And then there was the tumblr side of it.
AU’s popped up for every conceivable thing. Broadwaystuck, Circusstuck, Dormstuck, Sadstuck, Any fucking thing you could think of, you slapped -stuck onto the end of it and it immediately became a reality. There were countless ask blogs for every character imaginable and the Homestuck Hype was real.
When the Cascade flash aired it crashed Newgrounds for two days.
‘FIRST!’ cosplays were a thing, and if you managed to make one you were heralded as a god. The Alpha Kids came into existence and everyone raced to cosplay them and to see who could name them, who could be them first. Canon urls became sacred and if you had one you were god.
There was a literal fight for the jadeharley url
Updates were daily, multiple times daily. It was the start of Octopimp’s Eridan and Tavros voices, it was how he got popular. Broadwaystuck sweeped tumblr like a plague and the words ‘Let me tell you about Homestuck’ became a threat. It was around the time I formed The Rose Lalonde Homestuck Thesis. Everywhere you looked, there was Homestuck. Hussie’s girlfriend was sending cease and desist’s to fanartists, Whatpumpkin didn’t even have Tshirts on it’s website yet. People kept skipping the Intermission to get to the trolls. And then Cascade happened.
Then the fandom went on Hiatus. A Megapause, if you will.
And then things started calming down. Once 2013 started, it was as if nothing had ever happened. Homestuck was still there, sure, but it was muted. Controlled. Expectant. As if anything that could happen now wasn’t anywhere near as bad as what had already transpired. Now we are but a shadow of the chaos that once was.
2011 Homestuck is not a gross exaggeration my friend. I lived through it. I survived.
Homestuck had just become popular in the beginning of 2011 and already troll cosplays were popping up at conventions. Absolutely nobody knew where it came from and it seemed to have sprung up overnight. Within the course of several months cosplayers all across the country, and the world, sprouted out from the ground.
It was a time where the word ‘Update’ was sacred and anticipated. It was the beginning of the grey paint fiasco, before anyone even knew what armsocks were and even thought of using them. There was grey everywhere. It was like a rising tide of candy corn horns and cursing children spitting in buckets and playing ‘Spin the faygo’. It was hell and those of us lucky enough to survive it wouldn’t wish it on any of our enemies.
Following into 2012 was a nightmare. Homestuck photoshoots gathered roughly 500-600 people and lasted two and a half hours at conventions. The fandom was obnoxious and nobody knew how to seal their paint. Complaints from hotel staff about there being grey everywhere in the bathrooms at conventions and it clogging the toilets and drains were numerous. There was horn honking in the hallways and loud renditions of ‘How do I live’ every twenty minutes. Broadway Karkat was very much a thing that existed. Panel rooms for Homestuck Q&A’s spanned two entire rooms and filled up to standing room only.
Andrew Hussie visited Florida once and it was a goddamn nightmare.
The homestuck fandom you know now is tame, lax from the extended exposure and tired from the excitement of the past several years. The veteran homestucks look back at it as a time to never be repeated. The children just entering have no idea the glorious terror that the fandom once was.
