hahaha this sorta. I love the characters, I love their relationships, but I can't be arsed with the main plot. I can follow it just fine, I'm just sick of it always needing to add on new shit instead of just doing things with the characters and plot devices already in play. It's not the kind of writing i like.

Just gonna be over here reading a bunch of AUs and looking at pretty fanart, k?

[cleverthylacine]

I love Homestuck but I do have ISSUES with the intermissions with the Felt and the carapaces because they are hard to follow, at least for me. My main interests are in the kids and the trolls and like about half the fandom I am fascinated with trolls, their culture and their history etc etc etc.

[(Anonymous)]

They're just kids. They have horns sometimes. Woop dee doo.

[(Anonymous)]

You are all pedophiles. Yay

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

As someone who hates Homostuck (both because the art is so fug and because of the rabid fans), unless real children are involved, it's not pedophilia.

Homostuck

...............

[malik-chan.livejournal.com]

That was a typo.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

Well goddamn dude. If you got to act 3 and didn't like it, yeah, it's not for you.

If you liked doctor though, you might like some of it's many covers. This one especially.



For the people who hate homestuck: It's just an instrumental piece. You can click play and still hate homestuck afterward.

I actually know a few people who can't stand the comic but love the soundtrack.

[othellia.livejournal.com]

Seconding Savior of the Dreaming Dead as my favorite cover of Doctor, but honorable mentions to Rise Up (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/get-up) and Savior of the Waking World (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/savior-of-the-waking-world) as well.

And while Doctor and its many covers is my favorite tune, At The Price of Oblivion (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/at-the-price-of-oblivion), Do You Remem8er Me? (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/do-you-remem8er-me), and Rex Duodecim Angelus (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rex-duodecim-angelus) come at very close seconds.

Homestuck music is gorgeous. I wish I could stand to read the comic because I want to know the contexts for these great songs.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

Some of the animations are pretty good even contextless. You can just enjoy the music and colors without having any idea what's actually going on.

[vethica.livejournal.com]

You can draw the characters without being in the fandom.

[cleverthylacine]

You stopped at the point where I really began to get into it, FWIW. (I read it because my friends were writing/reading the best stuff.)

[cloud-riven.livejournal.com]

That's cool. That you can just enjoy the music on it's own is awesome, eh?

Also, also, it's not uncommon for artist folk to make fanart of canons they're unfamiliar with. iirc, there were actually quite a few people who did draw for this fandom because they like the simplistic designs, or just the general idea. I can't find the artist, but one guy drew various trolls as actual trolls. Like, the subjectively frightening under-the-bridge variety.

[luna-kishibara.livejournal.com]

I tried to read it several times, but didn't actually start liking it until Act 6. Then I went back through and re-read some stuff and suddenly somehow I really like it! It just kinda snuck up on me.

As for music, I'm pretty partial to Derse Dreamers:

[tumbril.livejournal.com]

In all sincerity, thank you for actually giving it a shot before making a decision...I respect that.

[illimerent.livejournal.com]

Agreed wholeheartedly. A lot of the haters seem to have barely read the comic and just hate the fandom (not ALL the haters, but a lot of them), and that really bugs me.

As for the secret itself, that is totally fine! It's totally okay to like a soundtrack without enjoying whatever it comes from. :3

(P.S.: Tumbril, your Alot icon made me smile so hard.)

[streetcake.livejournal.com]

It was the pretty character fanart and the weird emotional investment the fans had for the series that got me into Homestuck. I love the story, but I think the music and interesting characters would be worth hanging around for even if I didn't.

[streetcake.livejournal.com]

Also, just gotta say I love doctor too. It makes me wish life had theme music just so I could hear it all day.

[othellia.livejournal.com]

Gotta say thumbs up for trying it out for more than the first act before deciding you didn't like it. That said, I think it's perfectly fine to like the music without liking the comic; in fact, more than 80% of the music for the series never shows up within the comic itself.

Rec'ed some additional music in another thread, OP, but if you like those and are interested in more I can give you a whole list. (A "Best of Homestuck" playlist, I has it.)

[(Anonymous)]

I hated Homestuck until act 4 and if I had anything better to do I'd have surely dropped it by then. Now I'm excited about each new update. You don't have to force yourself but maybe it's worth reading a bit further if you find time.

[abominablebebop.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's cool that you gave it a fair shot before deciding you didn't like it. The music is pretty amazing by itself.

[(Anonymous)]

I've actually heard several people say that they don't care about Homestuck but love the music. Can't say I blame them.
