The #homestuck fandom is going through another rabid phase of content generation. It's the same thing that happened when it reached escape velocity in Act 5. But actually being around to watch it happen live is fucking wild. #fandom #meta #originalcontent #shenanigans
I am, of course, referring to the #trollcall posts for #hiveswap and the fandom's response to them. Someone made a whole entire cosplay of a brand new character a few hours after they were revealed. Fucking incredible. #homestuck #fandom #rawtalent
@DialMforMara Oh hun, all of the new trolls being introduced for Hiveswap are basically canonical fantrolls. Nobody cares anymore.
@meadows honestly, the only fandom I've been in where I felt comfortable making a big deal about my OC is Magic the Gathering
maybe that's just my own personal growth into not giving a shit, but
@DialMforMara Well, the #homestuck fandom has matured somewhat due to it no longer being "the hot thing" of the moment. So most of the active people left are older (not-tween-age) or at least more mellow and less judgmental. Spam that OC stuff to your heart's content.
@meadows That's good to know. And that may be why my Homestuck literary analysis blog is still getting followers despite me not updating it for about a year and a half. (I could start writing about Hiveswap things, but Hiveswap gave me a headache and reminded me why I don't like adventure games.)
@meadows do they still laugh at people for making their own fantrolls
