Homestuck fandom – Flying through Storytelling

Last post on this for now but: You can find my twitter, patreon and youtube here which are the best ways to keep up w me:

I am deeply invested in the Homestuck fandom and will be sticking around on Tumblr, but this is obvs going to become a much more unviable platform for tailored content. Just not worth the effort expense with how much the audience is going to shrink.

I am giving a lot of thought to where the fandom might go from here and how it might benefit. Watch this space for updates and hopefully we’ll all find ourselves somewhere entirely new soon enough–Ideally, somewhere where actual communities can be built. Remember forums? Those were fun.

See y’all later I am distancing myself from this and gathering my thoughts for right now.

Keep rising.

“Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr,”

This is easily the most disappointing solution possible.

genuinely unsure what this means for even just discussing canon homestuck all things considered lmao, press f to pay respects

i’ll be sticking around on tumblr yet but im giving serious thoughts to how to build homestuck fandom hubs elsewhere on pillowfort or other similar options, feel free to reach out

tbh in some ways this’ll be good for the homestuck fandom, tumblr’s been a terrible platform for the community for years in a lot of ways. too decentralized and easy to exploit for abuse/harrasment. wont miss it much when im ready to move on.

I keep noticing how some artists have been silently leaving the fandom. Like, the kind of artist that’ll make casual posts and usually have an open and welcoming attitude about fellow fans and homestuck by itself.

While I’m sure they leave for their own reasons, I cant help but be aware that these artists may come and go sometimes because of either the stressful environment of the fandom, or get targeted/bullied enough for no real reason to the point that they wanna leave, and their traction on people’s dashes get replaced by other artists (or even just louder blogs in general) who instead make fun of others people’s art and like to passive aggressively critique the artistic expression of other’s in the fandom (from ships, to fave characters, to headcanons, to other things one would dub as cringe culture).

Like, unless some other’s want to shape up and stop being assholes, there’s nothing that can really be done, but I’m just a little sad that we’re left with less positive content creators to look up to around here and more that like putting others on blast and sneering at art habits that other homestuck artists have, all while wrapping themselves in this thin veil of woke purity.

Hey, positive Homestuck blogs, reblog this! I’m still here and I know I follow plenty of you that are still supportive, creative and welcoming. Spread this around for other people to find and follow, don’t let the loud assholes drown us out.
