please tell me the wildest shit that happened in homestuck’s fanbase, its like listening to old tales that can’t be true but are.

Well there was the girl who nearly killed herself by soaking in a bathtub full of vodka and grey sharpies to try and dye her skin for her troll cosplay. And the fact that a bunch of fans sent the creator a MASSIVE horse dildo that later ended up in the comic. And the two people who spent $10,000 dollars a piece to have their OC’s appear for one frame and be immediately killed. And the one time a homestuck flash update ended up DDoSing newgrounds by accident. And the totally irregular update schedule made it so there was an application developed to tell you when the comic updated. The culture around homestuck is really surreal to look back on just for the sheer volume of alternate universes and fans works and in jokes and subcultures that developed within one fandom. It really makes me wonder if anyone will be able to capture that level of obsessive enthusiasm again. Like people joke about Steven universe being the new homestuck and I can see some parallels but that fandom still seems way smaller and way less messed up than homestuck at it’s peak.

OKAY HONESTLY I HAVE SO MANY STORIES AND MEMORIES I’LL JUST PUT SOME SOME DOWN IN A LIST

• Terezi cosplayers eating/licking various nonedible things. I know someone who ate a rose and I licked a courthouse once 
  
• There was some discourse over this one person who made a bulge for their Cronus cosplay and would flop it out at conventions
• THE ENTIRE SOCIAL NETWORKING PLATFORM THAT WAS MADE FOR/ABOUT HOMESTUCK
• I once tried to organize NOT 1 BUT 2 ridiculously large art collabs where people were supposed to sign up and draw one homestuck character each until every character in the comic was drawn BUT AS OF TODAY, 3 YEARS LATER, ONLY ABOUT 15% OF THAT WAS FINISHED and it’s completely dead
• Octopimp’s homestuck voiceacting
• People getting outrageously pissed off if you skipped the intermission
• “Homestuck is my favorite anime!”
• Several animating groups trying to make homestuck into an anime just so that joke could be real
• THE ENTIRE FANDOM AGREEING UPON WHAT TROLL GENITALS WOULD LOOK LIKE
• David Elizabeth Strider
• The end of homestuck was announced 3 years in a row and it’s still going. someone kill it. put it out of its misery. is hussie even alive anymore? help him.
• THE PANTY RAID COMIC
• god honestly i could go on all day i’m gonna stop here
