Not at all, which is why I said it was best for Older Teen, or 16+ and up. “Kids” is a relative term, and we use it rather broadly on this site. Anyone under 20 is a kid to me, and I don’t think you would deny an older teen form reading this. They are mature enough to decide if the swearing and/or violence is appropriate for them.

Thanks, I totally missed that. I kept thinking it was Wandering in my head.

Yes, I do mention that in my Act 3 review (coming very soon). But for me, it’s a lot easier to just borrow my kid’s copies.

@Ms. Henderson: There’s an easy way to get to the soundtracks: the URL of homestuck.bandcamp.com.

It’s spelled “kernelsprite”, and WV’s name is WAYWARD Vagabond, not Wandering Vagabond.

@Rika: I have to disagree with your there. I think I would be good for more parents to read Homestuck if their kids are into it. It’s a great way to start a conversation with your otherwise non-talkative teenage kids. I know my kids love to explain things to me that I don’t understand. They get to show off their know of things, and we get to bond over something we both share.

@Alanna I learned about the quote used in the music after I wrote this. I need to raid my daughters’ music collection so I can listen to some of the soundtracks. I rather enjoy a lot of the music used in some of the flash animations.

Most definitely an Older Teen Comic as of act six with a couple events I shall not mention. I find the quote amusing as it is used as a sound sample in the track Arisen Anew in one of the albums made by the music team.

I liked reading this! A lot of parents definitely should shy from reading this. It’s pretty geared to a lot of teenage inside jokes. In fact, I’ve had to look up a few of the parodies myself! But good luck with your reading, hope you get through it soon, it gets really amped later!

Definitely Doctor Who on the brain. Probably because of the “wibbley, wabbily” line. Thanks again!

Yeah, we usually get 7 episodes before a break, and this time we only got 5. But at least we only have to wait a couple of months before the Christmas Special. A booster shot before the series comes back in 2013.
