HOMESTUCK

omfg.

i’m going to rip off someone’s arms and legs next time i see someone go

“omg that’s like blahblahblah in homestuck!11! they’re like exactly the same tehehe!1121!1”

NO, FUCK YOU.

GO DIE.

Doesn’t this post remind you of Karkat?  It reminds me of Karkat.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: one of the reasons Homestuck was so popular and omnipresent (and subsequently overloaded everyone’s dashes) was Andrew Hussie’s uncanny ability to make significant symbols out of (or even mythologize) SO MANY random everyday things.

I totally get why non-fans found it annoying. Homestuck was (is!) basically 1000 semi-incomprehensible in-jokes. On the other hand, it’s a FASCINATING example of effective world-building and symbol transformation. Let’s call a spade a spade – but what’s a spade? What is the significance of a chainsaw, a bike horn, a broken sword, a cue ball, a cake? Consider: a pool table, a deck of cards, a computer program, a chess board. Would you like to play a game? The list goes on and on.

Yes! Homestuck tied the repeating nature of story-telling and coming of age myths to meme culture. Because myths ARE memes. Memes have existed forever. And they’re everywhere.

OP fucking deactivated

well, if you’re on tumblr and the mere mention of a popular fandom gives you a rage aneurysm, that’s your only recourse, isn’t it
