are there any fandoms youve been in that you cant escape? not only in the aspect that no matter what you try to do, you cant stop seeing content of it, but also due to the fact that it tends to pull you back into it, no matter what? usually this fandom might be quite "cringy", and could be considered a guilty pleasure of yours. i once met someone that had a reoccuring hyperfixation on a certain undertale au, specifically a bunch of minor characters that got little to no development as the au progressed. so yeah, might seem kind of weird to people who don't experience that.

i myself have one of these fandoms. and if youve noticed anything about this page, i think its pretty damn obvious what it is.

i first read homestuck in 2017, when i was still in high school. except at first i was expecting to hate it. my friend, who had tons and tons of homestuck merch (official and not) and brought a fanmade dave strider plush with her to school every day, was the person who got me to read it. at the time i identified as a straight cis guy. and now i don't.

that's right folks, homestuck cracked my egg. homestuck also did the following to me.

• made me fully start identifying as otherkin
• gave me an interest in characters that are awful human beings
• was the reason i went to my first convention
• gave me an attraction to aliens
• and finally, turned me into a catgirl

and when i tell you that i'm in deep, i mean im in deep. for example, did you know that their is a partially lost homestuck arg called SBARG? or did you know that the kids originally had designs that gave them more square-like heads? or have you ever seen the fucking tavros doll?

well, if you haven't, now you have.
