Do you recommend homestuck? Like today, as something to be discovered the way an archalogical dig is discovered, and not in the way it was experienced first hand by the people who lived it? I know that thematically it would appeal to me, but the main reason I never got into it was because my ex (then current) partner presented it it me as “the thing which will explain why I am the way I am, ” and to be honest, I don’t really want to know people that way, from the inside out. My experience of them is good enough for me. I know that I have enjoyed content by creators who are obviously inspired by and effected by homestuck and still, I feel the similar about their work as I did about my ex. I am not sure I want to know what lead them to create the work that I enjoy. I am unsure if I want to look behind the curtain. I like foeyay as it is, when I see it. I don’t know if I want my sense of what foeyay is to be overwritten by the idea of kismesis. I don’t want to see kismesis now, where I used to see foeyay. (I also don’t think my understanding of these terms via a wiki replaces the experience of understanding them in the narrative of a story.) I like metanarratives – I understand that homestuck is full of these and possibly I’m intentionally running from the inevitable experience of homestuck, of becoming homestuck, even after it’s become something of a whale fall. Anyway, do you have any thoughts, or do you just want to laugh at me? Thanks – an anon. (I’ll probably do the opposite of what you suggest, due to ODD.)
