I’ve been thinking about homestuck in the context of it basically being a new media classic and thinking about some kid in high school 70 years from now having to memorize and recite a monologue from it or something
I just feel like Andrew Hussie is similar to a modern day Shakespeare in that he has this great writing style but it’s full of stupidity and dick jokes, yet if homestuck ever really becomes a Well Known Classic people will ignore that and look at the genius writing and act like its something to be studied, not laughed at and that’s hilarious to me
#Pfffffffft#People auditioning with monologues from Homestuck#Like you get into the room and they’re like ‘Whenever you’re ready’#And you like take a deep breath and scream HELLO WORTHLESS HUMAN#And then snooty English teachers being like alright class for your assignment you have to analyze John’s aversion to harlequins#Kids staying up late at night because it’s such a pain they have to read Homestuck#Those students who tried to use Sparknotes but found out that just describing the intricacies of the plot was 20 pages long#EVERYONE SKIPPING THE INTERMISSION#And teachers expecting people to read Act 5 overnight even though it’s like hundreds of pages long#All the slang that will now be obsolete and incomprehensible so the students dread reading Dave’s pesterlogs#Fantastic (themusicbeckons)
this is literally the worst possible future
