Here is your annual reminder that if you want to read Homestuck but find it a little intimidating or are just not a big reader, Lets Read Homestuck by Team Voxus has completed all but the tail end of Homestuck.

LRHS starts out a little rough in the beginning, but the 'beginning' accounts for, like, less than four hours. Out of the total runtime of over 62 hours.

Also the voice actors are fucking tremendous and I will never stop saying that the voice actors for Karkat and Rose deserves an award for their work during Act 5.2.

Let's Read: Homestuck (Complete Playlist)

Oh and if you're like me and need background noise to work, I uh I ripped all of the audio for every episode of LRHS and put it on my phone. It's organized with a audiobook app called Sirin.

Here is my GDrive folder with all the mp3s.

@davekatweek day 5: Crossover

My two favorite things: Homestuck and Soul Eater. This was almost late but I hurt my drawing hand today so I’m working slower than usual. But the pain is nothing compared to my irrational need to do things on time.

Also, this is actually a redraw from like… three years ago maybe? I did drawings of all the kids and then the post-scratch trolls but never got around to posting them. I’m kinda tempted to redo all of them, but that’s a project for another day.

this really is such a minor thing but I genuinely cannot believe that people are still choosing to buy starbucks... its not even good coffee, ignoring all of the serious and actual issues with the company and the many many reasons people are boycotting it, its bad coffee, go to a cafe and get real good shit?? you get the bonus of not being lame for supporting starbucks?? 0 downsides

i think something you have to realise is that there are people who exist alongside you and me, who are so devoid of an identity that they make consumerism into their entire personality. they're the kind of people who line up to buy stanley cups, who will throw out and replace entire wardrobes just to keep up with fashion trends. they'll fight for nothing but their right to remain in their comfortable little consumerist bubbles, and co-opt anti-ableist language to shame you for ever thinking of pointing it out. starbucks is, by a lot of people's measurements, very average coffee. but they've cultivated a global brand identity that people enjoy and that's really the trap.

noturhydroflask99 i adore u

eeeee!!!!!!!! i am so obsessed with your layout i just had to boop you to death>///<

ONCE I FIGURE OUT THIS SUPER BOOP????? its OVAAR

By the way, fanfiction isn't the place for reviews or criticism.

When you're a published author, it's like you're preparing a meal in a food competition. You expect a rating and to be told what worked and what didn't to improve your craft and embark on your career.

When you're a fanfiction author, it's like taking some of your free time to enjoy the process of baking cookies and then offering them to someone to be kind.

If you take a cookie from the plate, you don't spit it out and tell them it sucked.

Unless the writer asks for your opinion, you can keep it to yourself.

Adding this to clarify, and you don't have to agree with this by any means, I cannot force you to, but the reason Ao3 and Fanfiction isn't the space for criticism and ratings...is that it is a fan space created by fans for fans.

It isn't school.

It is a space where people with the same interests can congregate and enjoy the same fandom.

When you think about commenting on an fanfic authors fics, don't think if it as fishing around in your pocket to give them a compliment.

Compliments are nice. Most everyone likes compliments.

"I like your character development."

"You paint wonderful imagry."

Those are comments that are compliments. Speaking for myself as a fanfic writer they're nice, but they're not what my fan heart craves.

I want engagement with my readers.

The best comments I get aren't talking about my skill as a writer, but what just happened in the story because you and I (the reader) are already fans of the world created.

Comments like:

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Did she actually just do that?"

"EXCUSE me?!?!"

None of these comments are compliments and none are critical. They are emotionally aligned with the story. They are engaged and with this engagement we create a little community in this tiny little space we get to call ours.

I cannot stop people from saying cruel things, but I can inform those people of the "dangers" so to speak when people treat fandom spaces like Ao3 as if it's Goodreads.

Writers, who write for themselves and offer it to you out of kindness, can decide that if people are just going to spit out their cookies they don't need to post about them anymore and that is how fandom spaces die.

If you don't like the flavor of cookie they made, or you're allergic to one of its ingredients...don't eat the cookie. Put it back for someone else to enjoy and then go find the flavor you do like.
