Lori- I think your the bomb. I to am a mom of an avid anime and HS enthusiast. To the point that I had to put together a website about it for other parents to gain a better understanding. http://Www.animemomnow.com. I would live to talk to you. I am actually cosplaying with my daughter at this years AX in LA. I will the Diciple one day and Roxy the next. Would love to get your impression of my website and what I am doing for the Anime community.

My kids were talking a lot about it too, but that only made me curious. As for the swearing, well, it’s not like the kids aren’t hearing it at school from their friends, and online, so I don’t stress about it. I just try to keep its usage in check, especially around the grandparents.

Oh I WISH my mom was this cool. She hates Homestuck because I talk about it so much. Though I don’t think she would approve of all of KarKat’s and Dave’s swearing ;-; How did you go about it?

Nope, that’s not me. Momstuck tumblr seems to be for a fanfic site. Found your tumblr though. I based by on my personal fan blog name. My kids aren’t big into cosplay, but my youngest did dress up as Jade Harley for Halloween, and wants to again for Wondercon this year. Try searching “momstuck” as a tag on tumblr. It has some rather humorous posts.

Already to Act 5 Act 2, huh? I look forward to reading your review for it! You might want to split up your posts into parts for Act 5 and 6, since they are so much longer than the first four acts.

Also, the “I warned you about stairs” (which shows up quite a bit) originates from Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, a crappy webcomic written ironically by Dave Strider, who is written by Andrew Hussie. No, I don’t think that’s overly meta. There’s references to the comic throughout Homestuck.

Anyway, here it is: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/comoc.php

I’m glad to hear you’ll be getting the pool with me! It really has been a great adventure. I’ve finished through Act 5 Act 1, and it’s fun to have some moments we can share because of it. We were watching a movie that had a scene with someone going up stairs, and my daughter looked at me and said “I warned you about the stairs,” and we both laughed, since I could get the reference. (It’s in Act 3 I think).

This review has me interested. My twelve year old daughter is a HUGE fan of Homestuck. She really wants me to read it, and now that I have Downton Abbey under my belt it’s time to jump into this pool. Between her talking about it, reading the Wikipedia article, and now this review I feel like I’m prepared. Thanks!

Thanks for reading Drillgorg! I actually have been warned about the violence by my kids, and that a lot changes in Act 5. It’s one of the reasons I decided to start reading Homestuck and share my feelings about it.
