This post made me wonder what BSS was like during homestuck's heyday. Was there even a thread or was discussion on it verboten?

"Go on until you're stopped."
Dimitri's character design bugs me in that he's clearly way too cool to be eleven years old.

He reminds me of the friend characters in Milo Murphy's Law, who all constantly wear expressions that indicate that they are so fly they have difficulty remaining in Earth's gravity well and they know it. It makes me feel like I'm watching a show with twenty-four-year-old models pretending to be unpopular freshmen.

Good Christ, was there ever a thread. Busier than the Gunnerkrigg thread, crazier than e/n on lsd doing 95 down a narrow road. Don't plumb those depths.

Isaac is still on the good guys side but he'll go full Vicious soon enough.

I might be remembering wrong but I don't think Homestuck fandom got really weird until he introduced those grey skinned characters (demons?) but I don't know because I was outie on it when the update schedule started dragging.

Oh you dear sweet summer child. Never lose that innocent ignorance of what Homestuck hath wrought. You're better off this way.

Yeah, that's when it became easy to go full Original the Character on it, which always drags out the weirdest of largest quantities of fairly banal weirds.

It was practically designed to do that, given that it came with four "unique" types of relationship that could encompass all sorts of weird shipping (which was not only also a thing happening in the comic but one of the relationships themselves, shipping two other people for love or hatefucking) and various other things that seem designed to evoke that sort of response in the parts of the online community that get excited by that sort of thing. It was a parody of those things to some extent, but it also engaged in them extensively at the same time.

I feel like that music video of Dante Basco getting chased through the streets by rabid Homestuck fans until he eventually becomes one of them is probably the best representation of the high water mark of the hype train.

Which segues nicely into the speech Dirk gives about irony and how all successful irony also has a layer of sincerity.
