Just whipped this up today! One of the things I love about Homestuck is how it presents long-distance online friendships as just as valuable and meaningful as ones in “real life”, and I tried to capture some of that in the lyrics.

I wrote this with the four beta kids in mind, but you can apply it to any pairing, any friendship or any group of characters you want! And whether you’re into this crazy webcomic or not, I hope some of you can still relate to this a little bit. =)

Music: “Homestuck” by Mark Hadley, from Homestuck Vol. 5
Lyrics: Me!
~ DOWNLOAD ~

World spins ‘round
Looks like another day
We’re homestuck
Grown up unaware
Not a care
But reaching, searching for a fate unknown
This distance, closeness that we share
Always there
Makes me wish we
Could reach through the screen
I’d feel your hands
Pressing to mine
But words are fine

Now the world’s gone down
Seems there’s a price to pay
We’re homesick
So quick to be lost
In the chaos
I will try
To believe we’ll fly
It’s getting hard
Righting these wrongs
But I’ll stand strong
Next to you

And you

And you

Well, this a story people hear about a lot, but I want to tell it. This is what Homestuck means to me.

I’m no one significant, really. My writing isn’t well-known, I don’t draw, I’m not what some people may call ‘tumblr-famous’.

Before I even read Homestuck, I felt as though I blended in, as though there was no reason for me to meet anyone new, for anyone to notice me.

Then I read Homestuck. I had something to bond with people I’ve never met over. 

I had something to let me stand out.

The fandom also has been a wonderful experience for me. They are generally very accepting, and allowed me to broaden my horizons. I’ve gotten back into writing, and I’m talking to more people.

Some of my stress is lifted when I talk to the people I’m creating friendships with.

Even at cons, I think I’ll be able to talk to more people than I used to (which was none at all)! I’m very excited instead of dreading it.

All in all, I just want to thank the Homestuck fandom, for letting me be me, and accepting that. The people I’ve met accept the real me, all of me. I’m always afraid to talk about my atheism and my asexuality in fear of being told it’s a phase.

I haven’t been told that yet, so I hold out hope for the times in the future I let people know about me.

Homestuck, to me, means friendship and acceptance.

Freedom.

My boyfriend and I loved Homestuck, we would act as the characters and it brought me joy. His parents found out we were together, and now I’m am forbidden to see him again. I had to switch schools and everything. Homestuck will keep the memories of how much fun we had alive. 

Thank you Hussie for giving me something to look forward to. :]

I first started reading Homestuck about four or so months ago, through a guy in my grade, who i barley knew at the time. Now we are inseparable. We constantly talk and laugh about Homestuck, and its one of the few things we have in common. Through Homestuck I found a best friend that I really need at this time in my life. I am constantly being put down, and am always sad. I just run as fast as I can to my computer, and type in “mspaintaventures.com” in the url bar. I look at the updates, and look back at all everyone has been through. They have been through so much, and it gives me a sense of hope. I feel like I can jump over any obstacle that is thrown in my way, and makes me forget why I was upset in the first place. Homestuck inspires me.

I know this isn’t as great or fantastic as some things other people have said on here, but I feel like I need to say this. Homestuck has changed my life in a way that I will never be able to express through words. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to read such an amazing adventure, and will always hold it dear to my heart.

Been reading some of these, crying in a good way to realize how lucky I am to be apart of this fandom.

Homestuck has an amazing fandom. It really does, and I’ll always believe in that.

Thank you Homestuck, for giving me some common ground to walk on with my best friend’s significant other. We were at each other’s throats until we found a mutual love for Terezi and Nepeta.

Thank you Andrew Hussie.

You have made me realize how I feel about all my friends.

That I have pale feelings for each and every one of them.

I’m not the best with words. And I feel like I need to protect them, because if I say one wrong thing, they’ll be out of my life forever.

With every other person I’ve messed up with

Before Homestuck, me and my sister were not close, not by any standards. I read it and loed it, and after persuasion from a ton of her friends, and me, my sister read it too. 

After that.. Well, not only do we get along, we talk so much more. We always have something to say: Shipping, characters, flashes, panels, headcanons… It never ends.

Could you post the entire info box? It gets cut off after "happened in".

I’m not entirely sure what you’re talking about anon.
