I just don’t want them to touch it. 

You know? 

Y’all know I’ve not really been following hiveswap super closely. This sinking feeling in my gut has almost nothing to do with that. This stupid fucking anxiety twisting up my guts is about Homestuck, it’s about sprawling weird gloriously complex hilarious and awful and great and foul and obscene and emotional and earnest and fucking gay as all goddamn get out HOMESTUCK. It’s about dave and rose and roxy and dirk and karkat and kanaya and meenah and found families and nature vs nurture and character arcs and fucking catharsis. 

It’s about how I was pretty much at peace with Homestuck being done and over and being satisfied with what I got and happy that my grievances with its ending didn’t end up ruining my perception of its overall goodness, that there was a piece of media I loved this much in my life again, it’s about how I was okay with what seemed to be happening and now who fucking knows?

It’s about Homestuck having a multi million dollar company making news posts under an inaccessible corporate name while the actual people, the interesting and imperfect but invested and very talented and overwhelmingly queer group of real actual people who have worked very hard to keep the IP alive are all slapping their resumes on twitter and moving on under an NDA that ensures we’ll probably never know what happened

It’s about how now there’s this looming worry in my soul that this company won’t just leave it the fuck alone

just leave it the fuck alone. Just don’t fucking touch it. Please just don’t fucking touch it I know how corporations treat queer stories and I would way way way way rather never know where the fucking masterpiece fits in with our current understanding of canon than have some fucking soulless company roll in and give reddit everything they fucking want

mspa: *is dead*

whatpumpkin team: *is falling apart*

homestuck fandom: *is in absolute shambles*

me: maybe if i just listen to you cant fight the homestuck and pretend its 2013 everything will be fine

a witch cursed andrew hussie so that if he ever finished homestuck it would come true. he stalled for as long as he possibly could, but now that it’s over america is being terrorized by sinister clowns and the threat of reality tv stars in public office while the ice caps slowly melt. When Hiveswap comes out the meteors will start falling.

Yeah, I feel u, op. I don’t know if there is anything I can say to make this better – a lot of us are feeling this deep existential dread atm – but at the very least I can say that if some company rolls in and fucks everything up there’s going to be a nonzero number of us sitting here in this blue hell happily denying any of that shit is going on while continuing to write and draw and otherwise create content based on the story we actually fell in love with

and in that case we’re no worse off than we were before in regards to homestuck, at least

i dont think homestuck should be marketed toward teens i think teens need to go on the weird internet journey of finding homestuck themselves, i dont approve of giving homestuck to the teens on a silver platter, back in my day we got redirected to the mspaintadventures tvtropes page 4 times before finally giving up and reading homestuck and trying 3 times and then getting obsessed and then the guy sitting next to you in english class reads it over your shoulder and 3 years later you have matching GAMEGRL and GAMEBRO shirts.
