istg i'll see a message from someone on here and 90% of the time they'll be over 20, a questionable amount of the time they'll even be over 30

Believe it or not they let you keep enjoying Homestuck here in the retirement home.

I don't know how to tell you that that's the average age of people who were into homestuck during its heyday. You're the out of place weirdo, agewise

I didn't have the option of being into Homestuck when I was young....


(Honestly, I think "if it's good, it's good." Regardless of how long ago it was or who the original target audience was. I mean, I grew up listening to music written for centuries-dead central European aristocrats, then got heavily into a decade-old comic written for Japanese teenagers when I was in my 20s.)

I’m exactly 10 months older than Dave Strider (Feb 3rd vs Dec 3rd both 1995)

How does that make u feel

I think it’s Very Neat when characters have canon bdays that make them my age :3


But in all seriousness you are on a forum (an endangered species of website) for homestuck (a 16 year old comic) idk what else you expected

I’d imagine the younger demog wouldn’t go out of their way to make an account on a dedicated homestuck website.

You keep the same interests when you get older, believe it or not. Though, to be fair, we were here first (the old people). Back in MY day (2012) everyone who liked Homestuck was also a teenager like I was so you are just talking to those same teenagers but now we all have jobs and shit.

Fwiw I would love it some of the kids getting into Homestuck ended up here. Just maybe not if they're going to make posts like this

I think you're the odd one out here, we've been in this fandom probably before you could form sentences. /lighthearted /joking

Also walking cane ftw! Hope I'll be in a place with public transit before I need one of those.
