I Absolutely love how manon is used to represent the old internet users and the culture from the 2000's, while cybermare is used to represent the newer internet users and showing how people nowadays react to the old internet stuff, really makes for a great dynamic and makes it so that both groups have a character they can relate to.

[@InkSans_FandomSoda]

As a newer internet user, old internet stuff is great and I haven’t a clue why people would ever reject learning about internet heritage.

This is actually an amazing way to introduce someone into Homestuck. By using the themes and style without retelling the original story, it is able to stand on its own while still showing the fantasy that is playing Sburb.

[@lemonadesnake]

When i read homestuck after watching this, i realised this is because every session is different, so it could not have been the same as when john and his friends entered.

[@windego64]

You can't fight the homestuck. Your pony friend tried to fight. now she's the one who regrets

There's SO much care and attention in this, what an amazing tribute! It's honestly hard to believe that projects this high quality can exist for free on the internet. The amount of creativity and collaboration that went into this is a testament in itself to how important Homestuck is to the internet. It also honestly feels like you leveled up with this video, it's hard to find many other animators making stuff this unique, polished, and well-researched anywhere online. Can't wait to see the lasting reception to this video, and I'm obviously super excited to see what's next. Amazing amazing job

I am not going to lie; this was shaping up to be a very unimpressive Homestuck day for me. Then I watched this with my sister and suddenly everything was great. Seriously saved the whole thing for me.

[@stagelights_]

i love how most of the reactions to this video are along the lines of like "wow i've never heard of this comic but it looks cool" or "this video finally convinced me to read homestuck". like im glad to see just like... people talking about homestuck positively without the need to reflexively dunk on it or claim its bad or whatever. just people enjoying a thing and sharing that joy with others. its great.

[@luxill0s]

The world has finally healed and we have reached a stage of enjoyment that has moved from irony back to earnestness, where people can finally enjoy homestuck unironically once more

[@yoisakikanade_]

yeah its funny bc homestuck was kinda before my time so i thought the homestuck dunking was like league of legends where it actually sucks and isnt worth getting into but no apparently it was just considered cringe for a long time and its actually a really cool comic

[@FlareMusic]

When you asked if you could use Surprise, We're Back for the next Loveweb, I thought you'd just throw it in as background music underneath some narration; boy was this a surprise! The animation you and your team put together is really just gorgeous, and you all actually perfectly nailed the vibe I was going for when I made the track. This whole video's a wonderful love letter to a unique piece of art that's left a lasting impression on many of us. You've outdone yourself this time, Shadok!

[@szkraft220]

oh shoot! Flare! Right, your music was used, thats pretty freakin cool

Making the narrative throughline about some Derse NPCs, one of whom is an OC inspired by Problem Sleuth, without first establishing why any of that is relevant is the most Hussnasty narrative decision you could have made. Brilliant. Iconic. Beautiful.

I originally wrote a comment about not wanting to watch the full thing, because I didnt recognise stuff and was afraid of spoilers, but I was informed that qll of the animation is fully original and mainly based on act 1 (which i have read) so i watched it AND WOWIE WOWIE this is INCRESIBLE! The accuracy to how HS looks is really damn good and all the enviroments qnd characters honestly are really pretty, I especially just love Manon's planet, such nice vibes. I can tell this took a lot of work to put together. I just love how everything is designed, I dont know how to describe it, its just so wonderfully whimsy. I will definately be checking out the credits after typing this! Absolutely great job. I recognised two voice cameos, hearing cybershell voice one of the snakes SENT ME, same for Andrew freaking Cunningham being the narrator, that was wonderful. This might have just convinced me to actually continue reading Homestuck soon ...oh hey this was posted on Homestuck day! I didn't even realise, haha! ALSO IM HAPPY FOR MANON, THEY CAN FINALLY TALK QBOUT HOMESTUCK

This was wonderful to watch, it really felt like I was back reading Homestuck and experiencing it all over again. Also blew my mind to recognize Cybershell and Andrew's voices, it's fun seeing creators I've watched from different topics get mixed in with something like this. Really looking forward to part two!

i came in here expecting another normal video essay, but holy heck. this sure is the highest effort video essay i have ever seen, if it even qualifies as one. it's literally a fansession complete with great art and everything!! KUDOS!! 👏 this must have taken a while!! i should know, because once i attempted to do a fansession too and it was so much art and spritework hahah. didn't get very far. consider me thoroughly impressed. what an excellent way to introduce people to what homestuck is all about!

[@edwardsinger7644]

April Thirteenth 2023 came and went (wow, that means it's John's twenty-seventh birthday) and I didn't do nothing homestuck-related. I caught the bug around 2011 (during act 6 act 3 iirc) and it most recently resurfaced on 10/25/2020 when a tiny voice in my head told me "hey halloween is coming up go buy some gray bodypaint". I didn't, but I re-read HS, joined a couple forums, listened to the Voxus recordings, and wrote a few unpublished essays on it in the following year-and-a-half. So glad to see more content around this universe. The "demo version" reminds me of classic demo versions of games I would try to play&milk. Much love to yall

[@daper1015]

I came back to this video because I remember it being the first contact with Homestuck I ever had. At the time I was dejected at the format but now when I gave it a second chance well... let's just say I finished Act 3 and OH MY GOD. THIS IS A COMPLICATED MESS AND I LOVE IT. The video at the end of Act 3 tied so many loose ends together it's crazy. I sat through and watched the video with my jaw stuck open in astonishment.

[@fallenflowers9036]

Glad you like it so far! Hope you keep reading and enjoying the comic
