– really good mythos. i think one of the parts that’s really stuck with me the most is when john’s like “i’m supposed to save the world right nanna?” and nannasprite is just like “lmao hell no it’s way too late for that! your destiny is much bigger” IM BIGTIME PARAPHRASING but it’s really epic and cool
– it’s basically an Internet Age creation myth TBH and it’s really neat
– great character development + really well thought out characters (mostly). all dialogue is delivered via text chat logs and it really gives you an incredible feel for the characters
– not an overwhelming amount of heterosexuality TBH… a great majority of the characters that the story focuses on are gay or bi
– really well-written female characters like homestuck is up there with ATLA on my “best female characters ever” list. they’re incredibly memorable and not cliche at all. not that “passing the bechdel test” means anything but homestuck passes the bechdel test with flying fucking colors….. it genuinely set a new standard for what i want to see wrt female characters interacting with each other entirely outside of male characters
– really cool villains!! my fav villain is actually doc scratch because he’s the slimiest and creepiest and was really well done (he is a man in a green suit with a cue ball for a head…) but all of them – bec noir (demon dog with a sword, i shit you not), her imperious condescension (evil power hungry immortal alien queen), and lord english himself (universe devouring demon with pool balls for eyes) are all super fucking cool. capes and masks are so blade these villains are fucking MEMORABLE
– a feast for the eyes! some of the stuff in homestuck is just pixels/simple art and some of it’s an honest to god eyesore… BUT there’s a lot of really beautiful imagery with some killer color palettes (the land of light and rain definitely comes to mind) that’s TBH really cool & neat

altogether homestuck is a pretty big undertaking and can get confusing but it’s totally fucking worth it. there’s some necessary content warnings about uses of slurs and some generally inappropriate shit, which kind of sucks (it’s Problematic to say the very least) but outside of that it’s really an incredible piece of media & 100% unlike anything else you’ll ever read, watch, or see in your life

since the end is coming soon i really genuinely do recommend homestuck to anyone who’s ever considered getting into it, now is a great time & ppl like me LOVE to help out and explain things to anyone who gets confused or caught up

am pretty sure many who left homestuck are going to be rushing back when it updates 🙂
