omg honestly this whole thread is so real-

im pretty new to homestuck and ive honestly been too nervous to interact with anyone online after seeing wayy too much going on with both twitter and tiktok homestuck fans-

I was also really nervous cosplaying homestuck for the first time this year, but i ended up meeting really nice people who recognized me and were either super hyped to see homestuck still being cosplayed, or were in cosplay themselves and we took photos together-
(definitely gave me more confidence for interacting with other people in the fandom)

talking on this forum is really the most ive ever interacted with the fandom online, and im really pleased with my experience so far seeing as everyone's been really nice and chill so far :'D

I would say though, twitter is a very spooky place, I'd definitely recommend tumblr from past experiences in other fandoms, and I also have started trying to post some more homestuck related stuff out there

(I also just see less negative interactions on tumblr, both within the homestuck community and other fandoms im in, just at the cost of it being a mildly less popular site)
