I only got into Homestuck over the summer of 2018, but I had a friend who was in it before then, and I was really into Undertale at the time too. So for about a year I was absorbing information about it, and I kind of built up a conception in my head of what it was like. I'm kind of fascinated with this specific version of it that only existed in my head, so I'm posting it here.


The basic premise of Homestuck, at least as I understood it when I was 13, is that it's about a boy who gets abducted from earth and sent to a futuristic cyberpunk planet inhabited by trolls. Over the course of his adventure he joins up with a rebellion against the trolls' government, and discovers an interplanetary conspiracy of some kind.


It's really interesting me what details I absorbed and how I interpreted and extrapolated off of them. For instance, I thought Jade was an adult some reason, and conflated her with Doc Scratch as well. I knew the thing about how if you gave the author enough money they'd put your fantroll in the comic only to kill them off, but I assumed the fee was like 20 bucks and the offer was always open until the comic ended. I extrapolated entire characters out of singular pieces of contextless fanart.


I kinda wanna just talk about it, so if anyone wants to ask questions about my weird faux-homestuck feel free to ask. I'll probably be sharing stuff I remember misremembering even if I don't get any questions. I kinda wanna develop it into a fanventure, but I'm not sure I have enough substance.
