Last week I dropped the Ultimate Homestuck Recap that summarized the webcomic that once dominated the internet, particularly Tumblr.
Today I bring you what it was all for, a video essay called Homestuck Is Good, Actually.
If you were wondering, "Homestuck, really? In 2025?" The answer is yes. This isn't ironic. It's 100% sincere. I love Homestuck. And I think you should, too. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you about… Homestuck.
It's not perfect by any means though, and brace yourself for some hot takes. But if you'd check it out or show any friends that might be interested, I'd be very grateful.
Heard this song and had a vision STRAIGHT FROM THE CLOUDS OF SKAIA!!

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

(sorry if this isn't super accurate.)
The heir of hope changes or changes through hope for others and the witch of heart changes or changes through heart for themselves. The suitor changes an aspect through an aspect
A suitor of loyalty either changes hope through heart or changes heart through hope.
They may be the type of person who's in a new relationship every month, or even every week. They make new friends anywhere they go, if they find someone with different opinions than them they could be pretty good at getting someone to agree with their views. Their views are likely to be a bit utilitarianistic (i don't know if that's an actual word lmao). They are likely some pretty trustful people.
they might not be the best at setting boundaries for themselves, or really following others boundaries, but not cause they don't pay attention or listen, they just need to understand why something is the way it is before they go with it.
They might have to be careful not to accidentally hurt others or push them to do things they don't want to on accident. They have certain ideas about themselves that may not necessarily be true, but they sure as hell will try to act like it is.
their powers cold consist of some interesting things like controlling ghosts, some kind of soul manipulation ( possibly a rlly confusing overcomplicated ver of mind control).
they'd definitely use longer range weapons like bow and arrows, or guns.
Haii! I just wanted 2 know if u could do an analysis on the Fraud of love(Heir of blood + Thief of heart)? :3
johnkat and active class nepeta. i can totally do that.
the fraud becomes an aspect through stealing another or steals an aspect through becoming the other
idk why but heirs are difficult for me to understand they just are their aspect. as an heir of blood you'd embody the idea of being close to others and being around people and helping others which i fw. thiefs are just my favorite kinda ppl. thiefs of heart are very likable people but they're a bit too ambitious with their frendships and romances.
as a whole, the fraud of Love is a person who likes people. I can immagine they look out for others and want to keep their best intrest in mind, but sometimes struggle to understand that what they think their friends best intrest would be might not be how the person sees it. they'd have a habit of pushing their ideals onto others because thats what's worked best for them, while well meaninged it can put a strain on how people veiw them.
theyre kinda like that one friend who gets over excited over stuff and freaks everone out a bit over how excited they are. they still do manage to make a lot of friends, or at the very least, people know them. how they treat others may border on manipulative but they probably dont mean any harm.
-
in a session this person is absolutely is gonna be the first person to god tier, going off of their class alone.
powers are likely going to be something to do with removing someones soul from their body until they need the person/thing back in it (idk when i think heart players i think of dirk removing araena form her body) and maybe the ability to talk to ghosts (ghost army!!!!!)
weapons are gonna be mele stuff. you gotta be close enough to do any damage.
happy really late homestuck day
