âDescribe homestuckâ is a weird question, because you can describe the overarching plot but not the weird branches it shoots off into
Like, âHomestuck is about a reality altering video game that comes about at the end of every world that, if beaten, allows the players to become gods of the next world. we follow four kids from our world who play it, the aliens from the previous game that made our world, and a ârebootâ game that comes about when ours fails.â
And then someone asks about how the fuck Betty Crocker plays into it and you donât fucking know how to answer without a goddamn essay
giving someone a quick, offhand summation of homestuck like it didnât consume at least three years of your life:
Griffin to Magnus in the first episode: “If a fucking skeleton rips your arms off, you’re not gonna be like, ‘But then, a dragon comes out of my knife, and it was there the whole time and he loves me!’”
also Griffin, sixty-six episodes later: don’t worry Taako, this is the part where your lich sister comes out of your umbrella to save the day because she was there the whole time and she loves you
monster factory is actually revolutionary because it’s a big brother watching his little brother playing video games which has never happened before in the history of video games
