Regarding the Official Homestuck Pilot

Hey guys, TK here, the Executive Producer (aka The Guy) behind Project Soundpage, and I just wanted to talk a little (more casually) about the official homestuck pilot announced by spindelhorse (spindelroo?) today.

if you want to see the official response (which i recommend you do before reading this post), you can check it out here on our patreon (a free post, dw): https://www.patreon.com/posts/going-strong-136123220

first of all, this is pretty cool? i mean an official homestuck animated show!?! (or, a pilot at least). thats awesome! that's something ive wanted to see for a long while, and im happy to see its at least being tested out. toby as john is... fucking fantastic. he does a great job and its a great fit. of course, im still partial to our john VA (given i picked him out myself) but thats to be expected, i think. and holy shit, hone? amazing pick. hone if you're seeing this i love your work and youre awesome.

the whole reason i joined this project, and am now heading it, is because i want to see homestuck animated. so this is no bad news for me, and no bad news for anyone on the team. we've wanted to see homestuck in this medium so bad for so long that we decided to pitch in and do it ourselves.

we're not going to stop doing what we love because someone else is doing it too. whats bad about another love letter to an intricate, impactful body of work? its fantastic. im excited to see what they do, and im excited to show you what we'll do. i hope you all know we plan to exist in tandem and have a good supportive space for all homestuck animated works.

i will say you're allowed to have your favorite of the two, im not going to stop you from having opinions, obviously. but i ask that you keep your opinions respectful of all the hard work going into each project. and, like. why not watch both? two cakes is better than one, as far as im concerned.
