Tbh I don't care if you don't know what Homestuck is, or hate it, I'm going to do this review because I have a lot of things to say about it.
The last panel of Homestuck was animated to be like an anime. I honestly don't think it should be an anime, but the animation was really cool, and I guess it was cool how Hussie made the last panel to be animated like an anime for the end.
The animation was amazing, and music was too.
My honest opinion: Homestuck was probably the best fandom I've ever been in. Sure, the actual fandom made me hate it sometimes, but Homestuck itself, was brilliant.
I've been into Homestuck for only a year, and it's been a good year. Correction, amazing year.
Homestuck has been going on for 7 years, and it ended on Act 7.
I really wish I would've been a fan from the start, but I would've been too young to be a Homestuck fan.
It started on April 13th, 2009. I would've been like, idk, 7? yeah. I would've been 7. (can't believe I did mental math holyshit)
The one who introduced me to Homestuck was obviously CQ, because like she introduces me to everything. I remember when she first told me about it. She was fangirling like crazy and screaming about how she found out about this thing called Homestuck. And she was telling me about how hot the guys were XD
She told me about how the guys (which she meant the Trolls), are based off the zodiacs, which really piqued my interest if you know about my love for astrology. She introduced me to the characters and I like fell in love with them before even reading Homestuck XD

I think this was also the first. (These are the Trolls or Beta Trolls I guess. There are Dancestors and Ancestors but these are the main trolls.)

I'll warn you, Homestuck is boring for about the first few acts, but trust me when I say this; do not just skim through the panels. Read the text, it gets better.
Also, although I prefer you read it, I actually watched Homestuck on YouTube. What I mean by that is, someone practically read Homestuck on YouTube for people to see. The channel is CoLabHQ if ya wanna check them out. They have a playlist that has the Homestuck Acts together.
My Homestuck Journey XD How long did I say that it took me to catch up to Homestuck? I think it was 8 months. Idk. 3?? Before I even started reading/watching Homestuck, I was watching Homestuck MEPs, which are really cool, and I thought they were actually part of the webcomic. I also thought Homestuck was a book because CQ mentioned reading it, so I was like heLL YEAH I GET TO READ A BOOK THAT SEEMS COOL. Anyways, when I first started, it was about near the end of August 2014, and school was going to start soon. I was watching Homestuck on YouTube until I reached Act 3 or 2. From there, I stopped because I started focussing on school, but somewhere around October or November 2014, I started to continue. Before Christmas break, I realized that the videos for Homestuck were really slow, and I was really fucking behind on everything, and so I decided to just go ahead and fucking read it to catch up. By New Years Eve, I finally caught up, and I was really happy, and waited for an update literally every single fucking day. But then, either on January or February of 2015, Hussie decided to put Homestuck on a hiatus. So I waited, and kinda fell out of the fandom, because of school and shit. On April 13th, 2015 - the six year anniversary - Homestuck updated. I watched the update, which was pretty cool, and read it and stuff. I was kind of in the fandom again, but I needed to focus on school, so I wasn't really. But I still read it when I had the time. By the time school ended, I was like WAY back into the fandom, and my phone was fucking filled with goddamn Homestuck pictures again. In July 27th, (I think), Hussie decided to make a video panel, and put Homestuck on a hiatus again, for the finale. The last panel was filled with feels and like jfc I was trying to not cry tbfh. And so, everyone waited for Homestuck to update, for about 7-8 months. During this time, I got into the Haikyuu fandom, and then into the anime fandom. On April 11th (?), Homestuck updated again, and I was reALLY FUCKING HAPPY BECAUSE ITS BEEN SO LONG AND I MISSED HOMESTUCK. And then it ended on April 13th, 2016.
I don't really know what else to say at this point.
Homestuck was probably the fandom that I enjoyed being in a lot. I'm still not giving up trying to cosplay characters. Even playing the songs from there. Hot Topic has some shirts from Homestuck, which are really cool (I have one), and I want morE.
There's also a website called WeLoveFine that sells Homestuck merch. And like I want them sO BAD.
Even after Homestuck ended, I still don't have any inspiration to continue Heartstuck.
