Phishing WTF

    And you'd probably not enjoy Homestuck either. But you can try, of course.

    It only takes 4-5 years for a Homestuck fan to explain it to you. Most of it gushing over how many pages and multimedia materials it has while glossing over basic topics like, "who are the characters and what's the premise?" Mainly because the answers are either, "nobody knows", or pure gibberish.

    I think it's more "Stockholm Syndrome" than "fanaticism" over that particular comic. When you've spent like 3 years of your life trying to figure something out, you pretty much have to say it's great otherwise it would feel like a waste of time.

    Kind of like learning Vi now that I think of it.

    Spot the shameless self-promotion...

    Ah, it was a minor pisstake. I wanted to imply your sketchings may be on there and you're trying to drive visitors.

    Too subtle, weak humour.

    They're not. I don't actually have much fan art of anyway.

    Bunch of kids are selected by fate to act as heroes in the traditional eternal battle between good/evil, but things go pearshaped and it turns into game of mostly tactics between the heroes and a harbinger of chaos.

    There. That's it. That's all there is.

    If you've read The Hero With A Thousand Faces or know something about that idea, you can probably point to more such elements (in any story), but that's the nutshell version.

     

    I like to distance myself from rabid fanboisim. I just like the comic, and, being an amateur illustrator, I enjoy things like that mspa booru.

    The entire Internet has "talk like a pirate day". Where have you been for the last 4 years? Another stasis chamber leaked open, and you just arrived from 1998?
    Must have been "dress like a pirate day" then.

     

    And still no "rape like a pirate day".

    No one enjoys Homestruck.

    Might I suggest [url="http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail143.html"]Homestar Runner[/url] instead?

    Must be the lack of pirate rape.
