i got into it innnn.... 2012? after having my best friend get into it and subsequently dragging me into it, and seeing it around more and more as The Cool Thing in the deviantART circles i was in starting in ~2011.

i don't remember specifically when i started it, but i eventually caught up with the comic around the time the tricksters were first introduced in act 6 (~early 2013), and i remember keeping up with upd8s in the mornings before school. then The Pauses (and Life) hit in the ensuing years, and i fell out of it around 2015.

i got back into it properly in 2019. (only 4 years, but it felt like a MUCH longer time..)

then hsbc came out, and i was NOT a fan, so i kinda fell off again & kept to the outskirts.

but the latest upd8 (plus the creation of this website) has stoked my interest, and i've since gotten over my knee-jerk dislike of hsbc to begin with, so here i am again in 2025.
