In 2008 my older cousin was into something called "Problem Sleuth", all I remember was him telling me it was some kind of parody on computer games... didn't really take much interest.
Fast forward to mid 2009 and he was talking about how the creator of Problem Sleuth was making a new comic online (my mind was blown that a comic on the internet was even a thing) and it was called "Homestuck". He said it was pretty complex and slow, but an alright read so far. I wouldn't have cared if he didn't tell me that a meteor hit someone's house, and my ten-year-old self liked post-apocalyptic stuff and was like "hell yeah". I read act 1 and, while confused at the start, never looked back.

I've always be aware of homestuck (as most ppl on the internet are) but I only ended up reading it when I was going though toby's back catalog and found some homestuck songs
I though they sounded pretty good and gave it a "small read"
Cut to me finishing act 5 and I already knew it was a new thing for me to bother ppl about

I originally found it through a meme i saw on tumblr of terezi, and i was curious so i searched it up, that may have been one of the best (and worst) decisions i've made, took me nearly 2 years to finish the original comic because and now and ive read nearly all the media in the franchise, its consumed my life and im not mad about it, i accept my fate as an obsessed fan lol.

i got in via learning about penumbra phantasm from deltarune theories... When i heard this remix, i knew right then and there that I had to read Homestuck just to know what the hell HAPPENED. I started it, and... Here I am now. Between dreaming of Doc Scratch years before I read it, and my penchant for cosplay and body paint, I think I was always sort of destined 2 get in2 Homestuck.
