    Dear /cgl/,

    I used to be just like you.

    I used to laugh at the Narutards and Homostuck fans, while shaking in terror at the weaboo threads, scrolling through the loli dramu and shaking my head at PT's antics. Until, that fateful day, seven days ago, I became the enemy.

    My curiosity got the best of me. Curiousity does not kill the cat, it mutates it, like a cancer, until it consumes it. I began to read homestuck. Please /cgl/, don't dismiss me at that. Listen to my story.

    To my greatest surprise, I began to enjoy it. For the first time in my life, I actually understood having a 'husbandu'.

    Of course, I am still human. I still am ashamed of what homestuck fans do, and I'm sure many of you understand this feeling, being fans of something and watching the fanbase make a mockery of it.

    I'm not saying HomeStuck is a perfect creation, it is far from it. That doesn't stop me from liking it. So please /cgl/, can we have a good Homestuck cosplay thread? Or, if that is too specific, Cosplay you'd never admit to keeping.

    Please have this Bunny letter opener as a thank you for reading.

    I LOVE Homestuck. Like it's my biggest obsession at the moment.
    But Goddamn, I introduce it to a couple of my friends and now it's all they ever talk about.
    They will not shut up.
    I try to start up a different topic, or get them to watch/read something else. It always backfires to "whatever I Introduced them to"Stuck.
    Just CONSTANT Blank!Stuck and ThatNewThingAnonLikesStuck!

    Because of them I can't even read the comic comfortably...

    I wash I was you, OP. I thought Homestuck looked sweet as hell when I first saw fanart and stuff of it. I'm a Hetalia fan, though, and as soon as my friends (who aren't in the APH fandom) caught onto Homestuck, they instantly started hating me. Not outright, but in a vendetta-ish, passive-agressive way. Just staying things like Hetalia fans don't deserve to read Homestuck, making fun of the characters I've cosplayed, laughing when they see a Hetalia picture on my phone, that sorta stuff. I still sort of want to read it, but they've almost ruined it for me.

    I have the same problem

    I want to cosplay PM but I have no idea how to do the carapace. For the head piece, I was thinking about making a sort of pre assembled hat/turban, with a styrofoam base, and the bandages attached to the styrofoam but loose in the front, to wrap in front of my fact. I'm sorry I'm not very good at describing things.

    I know a person who is a flavor of the week and only that flavor person. When she likes Hetalia, it is the only thing she likes and You Suck if you like anything else.

    It's a webcomic deeply entrenched in self-referential, esoteric, and nerdy humor. Nicolas Cage is heavily parodied in it since one of the characters has a huge celebcrush on the man to a comedic effect. It's fun, but requires quite a time commitment because it's an ongoing narrative, and the antics of the fandom may discourage you from even trying.

    I didn't care for homestuck until now. A very close friend of mine is really into the fandom, I didn't mind until now I realize that's all she cares about. She wants nothing to do with anyone who doesn't read homestuck and I know she won't talk to me in-depth anymore because she can't discuss homestuck with me. I feel as if a bunch of people she's only known for a few months are now more important than the years we've been friends just because they like a webcomic more than me. Why does a webcomic turn someone into some weird cult member?

    It doesn't. It just happened to be the catalyst, but it really just sparked something that was always in the person to begin with. This kind of story isn't new and it's really unfortunate that it's been happening so much with this fandom, but honestly, for people who are into this kind of shit, all it took was time and the right fandom.

    Let her go. Hopefully she'll come to her senses, but if she's daft enough to let the fandom get to her head, she's not worth having around. No fictional canon or fan-community should be valued more highly than genuine friendship.

    The webcomics don't do it, anon. Some people are just weirdly obsessive. I have a friend that pretty much shunned me when I said I didn't really like K-On, and another who won't ever stop talking about Halo. Some people should just be avoided when it comes to their batshit periods, and others can be tolerated. None are bad people for liking something! They just... obsess, and that can be hard to handle.

    I love webcomics. I read and keep up with tons. I had no ill-will towards Homestuck, and was even looking forward to adding another webcomic to my list.
    I could not get through the first 50 pages. It bored me to tears. I literally forced myself to read for about half an hour and then wanted to rip my eyes out. It was THE most horrible, slow, and boring intro to any comic I have ever read. Ever. I could not imagine how anyone could stand this shit. Me and a couple of friends would rage about how awful it is and why the fuck so many people liked it.

    But then, like you OP, the curiosity set in. One of my friends on tumblr occasionally reblogged discussions, screenshots, and fanart of it. (and DAMN does that webcomic get some fantastic fanart, it's nuts) I could not stand the thought of trying to read it again, so instead to cure my curiosity, I did what any other lazy person does for quick info.
    I went on the Homestuck wiki.
    I figured I'd just get a little info on who's who, what's what, etc. But ohgod one page led to another that would lead to another and suddenly hours had passed and I had a favourite character and followed links to certain pages in the comic that the wiki highlighted and found some that were funny or interesting or neat. I was horrified that I actually started liking this thing I thought was utter shit.

    So right now I'm keeping it secret from everyone I know, especially the people I used to make fun of it with; they'd never let me live it down. (I'm over-exaggerating, but you get my point) Still don't think it's the greatest thing in the world, and there's still a lot of shit that bugs me about it, and I don't think I'll ever read the whole thing through, but now I at least somewhat see the appeal, and some of it is pretty damn brilliant imo.

    Just...just wanted to share my closeted homestuck shame.

    I honestly tried to read it. I spent two hours reading pages, telling myself it would get better like everyone said.
    Nothing. I still don't get the obsessing. And if it takes until this magical Act 5 to get good, it's not worth reading.
    Like, If a book doesn't get good until chapter 40, why the hell would I want to read it?
    I won't bash those who like it, but I'm scared of your fandom. I know the worst of the worst are those who stand out and I know that there are probably hundreds of you sane fans, but I'm scared of the rest.

    Tl:dr : I'm not a fan, but I mean no offense, I'm scared of your batshit insane fandom though.

    I really enjoyed the first part of Homestuck with its odd humor. It was in when it reached God Tier that I went 'fuck it' and stopped reading it.

    I'm constantly being called a 'poser' Homestuck fan though because I didn't like the rest of the story. So I stopped wanting to have anything to do with the fandom.

    I really do like Vriska though...
