Unfortunately, yes. I read parts of homestuck in 2010-2012, and while I didn't get very far (nor participate in fan culture), it stuck with me as something too smart for its own good. I reread homestuck in its entirety in 2022 and my undiagnosed autism latched onto Dirk Strider like a dog to a steak and I haven't let go since.
First things first: if you haven't read homestuck, you should do so (or at least make an attempt) NOT on the official website, but with the Unoffical Homestuck Collection↗[external link]. It is a custom browser that not only allows you to read homestuck offline, but also restores the flash animations and games that are vital to the story but have been unreliable since the death of Adobe Flash. â€
Now onto the Dirk Strider Content:
